Only children in Siheyuan make choices. I want them all.

"You...what do you mean? My mother is still suffering in the detention center because of you, and I didn't bother you, but you come to provoke me first!" Yan Jiecheng's face was full of anger. He pointed his finger straight at the tip of Zhang Jianjun's nose, and scolded with a trembling voice due to extreme anger.

"Can you blame me for your mother being put in the detention center? It was obviously her own fault. Not only did she insult my parents, she even dared to openly insult the revolutionary martyrs and their orphans. What's even worse is that she spread those decadent and backward feudal superstitious ideas in public. It's not unfair for someone like her to be arrested!" Zhang Jianjun showed no weakness and immediately fought back with a firm tone full of a sense of justice.

"But so what? Can't you be so merciful as to sign the letter of understanding? We have been neighbors for decades, and my mother is your elder who has watched you grow up. How can you be so heartless and unkind?" Yan Jiecheng still refused to give in, and kept talking like a machine gun, trying to morally blackmail Zhang Jianjun and force him to surrender.

"Hmph, don't try to play tricks on me! I'm not going to fall for it! Get as far away from me as possible and don't disturb our family from having a good meal!" Zhang Jianjun glanced at Yan Jiecheng with disdain, then picked up a piece of temptingly colored and fragrant braised pork and put it into his mouth, chewing it with big mouthfuls, enjoying the food very much, as if he didn't take Yan Jiecheng seriously at all.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng's throat rolled slightly and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, but he quickly recovered and continued, "What do you mean by family? Yu Li is my wife, and this is not your home. Why are you chasing me away!"

Zhang Jianjun spread his hands and explained with a half-smile: "I'm sorry to disappoint you! This is really my home! Brother Zhuzi sold the house to me a long time ago. He is just staying here temporarily. Yi Zhonghai's house is his!"

Yan Jiecheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Sha Zhu's house had become Zhang Jianjun's.

"Okay, go away. I'm disgusted by the sight of you!" Zhang Jianjun waved his hands and said with disgust.

"You..." Yan Jiecheng was furious, but he couldn't say anything in rebuttal. Suddenly he looked at his wife Yu Li.

"Yu Li, why are you still staying here? Isn't it embarrassing enough? Come with me!" Yan Jiecheng said as he was about to reach out and pull Yu Li.

"No! Didn't you see me eating? Wait until I finish eating before going back!" Yu Li was enjoying the delicious food and naturally didn't want to go back with Yan Jiecheng.

"What are you eating? I didn't give you anything to eat? Come back with me!" Yan Jiecheng urged dissatisfiedly.

"Yan Jiecheng, what do you mean? I've had enough of eating steamed buns with pickles with you every day! Brother Jianjun didn't say anything when I ate some meat today, but you kept nagging and complaining beside me. Go away now and don't disturb my meal!" Yu Li slammed the table angrily and stood up.

Yan Jiecheng looked at everyone, watching him with a teasing look, and immediately got angry and raised his hand to slap Yu Li: "You old woman! Just go back when I told you to! Why are you talking so much? As the man of the family, you don't listen to me, right?"

Yu Li was stunned by the slap and didn't react for a long time. Qin Jingru, on the other hand, slammed the table and stood up: "Yan Jiecheng, what are you doing? This is my home! If you want to act wild, go outside! Get out right now!"

Yu Haitang was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She widened her eyes and glared at Yan Jiecheng. She clenched her fists and then pushed forward suddenly, using all her strength to push Yan Jiecheng hard.

At the same time, she shouted indignantly: "Yan Jiecheng, how dare you hit my sister? You useless man, you make my sister live a hard life of eating coarse food and vegetables every day. Now that she finally has a meal of meat, you actually hit her! It's too much!"

After being pushed by Yu Haitang, Yan Jiecheng staggered and almost fell to the ground, but this also made him sober up instantly. Looking at the furious Yu Haitang and his wife Yu Li, who was crying silently and had a red and swollen cheek, Yan Jiecheng felt very regretful for his impulsive behavior.

He lowered his head, and in a low voice with a hint of guilt, he said to Li softly: "Honey, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was too excited just now. Can you please forgive me this time? I will leave here immediately and will never disturb you for dinner again."

However, Yu Li did not soften her heart because of Yan Jiecheng's apology. She raised her head, stared at Yan Jiecheng with cold eyes, opened her lips slightly, and uttered two words coldly: "Divorce!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he stood there in shock as if struck by lightning. He suspected that he was hallucinating, so he asked Yu Li again with a look of astonishment: "Yu Li, what...what did you say? I don't think I heard it clearly just now."

Seeing this, Yu Li was even more angry. She took a deep breath, raised her voice, and repeated word by word clearly: "Yan Jiecheng! I want to divorce you! There is no love between us anymore. I am tired of this kind of marriage life! Tomorrow morning, we will go to the street office to apply for a divorce certificate! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Yan Jiecheng felt like he was struck by lightning. He had never thought that Yu Li would divorce him because of such a small matter. "Lili, I was wrong! Can you please forgive me this time? I know I was wrong, and I will never hit you again!"

Yu Li was too lazy to pay attention to Yan Jiecheng. Instead, she looked at Zhang Jianjun: "Brother Jianjun, please take Haitang and I back later."

Zhang Jianjun had not expected that things would develop to this point. He asked weakly, "Yu Li! Are you serious? Marriage is no joke!"

Yu Li nodded solemnly, "Yes! I'm serious! I've had enough of Yan Jiecheng and his family. Not only are they stingy, but now they even hit me. I can't live like this anymore. Fortunately, we don't have any children yet!"

After Yan Jiecheng heard Yu Li's words, his face turned extremely pale in an instant. He panicked and didn't care about his face at all. His legs softened and he knelt down in front of Yu Li with a plop. He said in a trembling voice: "Wife, I know I was wrong! I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me this time! From now on, I will never hit you again! Really, I swear!"

However, facing Yan Jiecheng's humble attitude of admitting his mistakes, Yu Li was not moved at all. There was no change in her beautiful and indifferent face. She just shook her head gently and said in a firm and ruthless tone: "No need to say more! Living with you, I just feel extremely depressed inside, as if I am in hell, and it is so painful that I would rather die than live. My patience with your family has reached its limit! Things have come to this point, and nothing can be reversed! So be it! Get out of here quickly, I don't want to see your hateful face again for a moment!"

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng knew that he had completely lost Yu Li's heart, but he still wanted to continue to defend himself. But at this moment, Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward, grabbed Yan Jiecheng by the collar, dragged him out of the room, and shouted: "Yan Jiecheng, you bastard, get out of here right now! A man like you who beats his wife is simply a scum among scum! From now on, don't tell anyone that we know each other, I can't afford to lose this!"

Yan Jieben was already in a very bad mood, and being treated so roughly by Sha Zhu, he was immediately furious. He suddenly broke free from Sha Zhu's restraints, pointed his finger at Sha Zhu's nose, and cursed angrily: "Sha Zhu! What the hell do you mean? Didn't you see that I was talking about divorce with my wife? Why did you chase me out of the house? What on earth are you thinking!"

Sha Zhu was not to be outdone and immediately started yelling, "What are you thinking? I finally got a blind date with a girl today, and you have to come to my house to cause trouble, right? Get out of here right now! Don't force me to hit you!"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Sha Zhu's injured left hand and said provocatively, "Come on! Hit me! Do you have the guts to do that? Do you believe I can break your other arm too?"

Sha Zhu originally wanted to show off in front of Yu Haitang. When he saw Yan Jiecheng dared to challenge him, he immediately curled his lips and sneered: "Who do you think you are? You even broke my other arm, come and try it!"

Yan Jiecheng felt a little intimidated when facing Sha Zhu. After all, Sha Zhu was the God of War in Siheyuan: "Who is like you? All you do is fight and kill every day. I am a cultured person!"

Sha Zhu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Bah! You are the only one who thinks you are cultured! Get out of here right now, or I will kill you!"

Yan Jiecheng was a little scared at this time. He didn't dare to fight with the fool, so he could only shout loudly: "Wife, come out! I was really wrong! Come home with me quickly!"

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was still unwilling to leave, Sha Zhu was too lazy to continue paying attention to him. He turned around and left, locking the door.

Yu Haitang saw Sha Zhu coming back and nodded to him with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhu! Are you okay?"

Seeing the beauty in the factory, Yu Haitang, smiling at him and calling him Brother Zhuzi, Sha Zhu was so happy that he immediately said with a smile: "It's okay! It's okay! I hate people like Yan Jiecheng the most. It's bad enough that he has no ability, but he even beats his wife!"

Yu Haitang also agreed after hearing this: "Humph! Who said it wasn't true! This kind of man is really shameful, he is submissive outside but he is the boss at home. Just now, Yan Jiecheng didn't even dare to fart in front of Brother Zhuzi. What a coward!"

Sha Zhu was immediately overwhelmed by the compliment. He took out eight ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them directly to Yu Haitang: "Haitang, take it first. This is my betrothal gift! Take it back and give it to your parents tonight!"

Yu Haitang didn't answer it, but looked at Zhang Jianjun.

"Why are you looking at Brother Jianjun? Just accept the betrothal gift I give you. Haitang, be careful. If you marry me, I promise that you will have meat for every meal in the future! I will never hit you! I will treat you well all my life!" Sha Zhu patted his chest and promised.

Zhang Jianjun also said, "Take it! Give it to your parents when you get home!"

Only after hearing Zhang Jianjun speak did Yu Haitang accept it silently.

"Dad! Yu Li wants to divorce me, what should I do?" Yan Jiecheng walked into the house with a sad face, as if he had lost his support. He fell on the sofa, his body trembling slightly, and his voice was filled with fear and helplessness that could not be concealed. Then, he told her everything that had just happened in detail...

"What? Tell me, why did you hit her for no reason? Why are you so impulsive? You're just like your mother! This family will be broken up by you sooner or later!" Yan Bugui's eyes widened, his face flushed with anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He paced back and forth in the room, angrily accusing his son. Every step seemed to step on the tip of Yan Jiecheng's heart, making him feel more and more guilty and regretful.

"Dad! Now that things have come to this, scolding me won't do anything. Let's think about what to do!" Yan Jiecheng lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes. He tried hard to hold them back, but his hoarse voice revealed the endless pain in his heart. At this moment, he was like a child who had made a mistake, waiting for his father's punishment and guidance.

Hearing his son's words, Yan Bugui stopped and thought for a moment. He finally made up his mind and said, "Oh! Now that things have come to this, I can only swallow my pride and go with you to have a good talk with your wife." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door with firm and resolute steps.

"Dad, wait for me! Don't walk so fast!" Seeing his father's determination, Yan Jiecheng felt a glimmer of hope. He stood up quickly and followed Yan Bugui closely, fearing that he would miss any opportunity to save his family.

Along the way, neither the father nor the son spoke, but walked silently, and the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn. However, they both knew in their hearts that this conversation was crucial to the entire family, and the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.

Soon the two of them arrived at Sha Zhu's house. Yan Bugui pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Yu Li! Come home with Dad. Yan Jiecheng was wrong just now. Dad has already taught him a lesson for you. Yan Jiecheng, you bastard, why don't you come over here and kneel down to apologize to your wife!"

The reason why the third uncle Yan Bugui did this was because his family really couldn't afford the bride price to marry another wife for Yan Jiecheng. Now they have two more children, Xiaodang and Huaihua, to support, so they can't afford it even more.

"I'm full! Brother Jianjun, please take my sister and I back. Yan Bugui, I will come at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to divorce your son." After saying this, Yu Li stood up and was about to leave.
