Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

After completing the divorce procedures at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jia Zhang returned home in a triumphant mood.

I saw her standing at the door with her hands on her waist, her fat body blocking the way like a wall.

On her face, which was full of flesh, there was a mocking smile at the moment. She glanced at Qin Huairu and shouted in an obscene way:

"Humph, you ungrateful woman, you actually dared to divorce our Jia family! Do you think you can have a good life after leaving our Jia family with those two money-losing girls? I want to see how long you can hold on!"

Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and thin, as harsh and unpleasant as the cry of an owl at night.

There seemed to be countless sharp blades hidden in her vicious eyes, shooting straight at Qin Huairu.

However, facing Jia Zhang's arrogant provocation, Qin Huairu behaved very calmly. She just glanced at the other party lightly and ignored it, as if this jumping clown in front of her was not worth wasting a bit of her energy.

She held her two daughters' hands tightly and protected them behind her. Her firm steps and calm demeanor seemed to tell everyone that she was ready to embrace a new life.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e, who had been watching coldly, could no longer suppress her anger.

She stepped forward and pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and shouted angrily, "Shut your stinky mouth! What does it have to do with you whether Qin Huairu can live a good life? I'm happy that she is willing to live in my house! I'm a fourth-level clerk, and my monthly salary is more than 50 yuan. It's easy to support the three of them, mother and daughter. Don't worry about it here!"

Lou Xiao'e folded her hands across her chest, her eyes full of disdain.

"Hmph, it's you who should spend more time thinking about how you are going to live from now on! Look at what you have done. You actually drove Qin Huairu away! I want to see, without her, how can you live in the future? There are only three people left in your family now. The old guy can't do any work all day long. He just makes trouble and makes a fuss. Look at the little one, who is naughty all day long and doesn't look serious at all. There is also a sickly person who is paralyzed in bed and is no different from a cripple. He can't move at all. Tsk tsk tsk, with your current situation, I'm afraid you can only watch your life get worse day by day!"

Lou Xiao'e's mouth was like a machine gun, she spoke in a burst of rapid fire, leaving Jia Zhang speechless and completely unable to fight back.

Jia Zhang was choked to death on the spot, her face turning blue and white, it was a very interesting scene.

Her mouth opened wide and she made a few "uh uh" sounds in her throat, obviously wanting to retort.

However, after racking her brains for a long time, Jia Zhang found herself sadly unable to find a word that could effectively counterattack the other party.

That’s right. How will their family make a living in the future?

When Qin Huairu was around, basically everything at home, big or small, was handled by her alone.

Although Jia Zhang was always finding fault with Qin Huairu and was disgusted and picky in every way.

But no matter what, it cannot be denied that it is because of Qin Huairu that this home can be managed in an orderly and proper manner.

Now, Qin Huairu resolutely left this home. At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly realized that the extremely solid pillar of the family seemed to have collapsed in an instant.

Jia Zhang slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Jia Dongxu who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Jia Dongxu's originally pale face now looked even gloomier, like the sky before a storm, which was chilling.

His lifeless eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, like a bottomless black hole that made people fall into it and unable to extricate themselves.

Bang Geng, who was standing aside, lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at Jia Zhang.

He knew in his heart that with Qin Huairu's departure, the situation at home had taken a sharp turn for the worse and had become extremely bad.

In the past, when Qin Huairu took care of everything at home, he could still indulge himself and do whatever he wanted, but from now on, such days are probably gone forever.

At this moment, a deep panic surged into Jia Zhang's heart like a tide, causing her heartbeat to suddenly speed up and her breathing to become rapid.

She couldn't help but start to regret her past actions. Why had she been so harsh and difficult to Qin Huairu?

Why did he keep pressing Qin Huairu until she left home?

However, now that things have come to this, no matter how many words of regret she says or how many attempts she makes to make amends, it will no longer help.

Because Qin Huairu had already drawn a clear line with the Jia family and no longer had any connection with them.

Speaking of Qin Huairu's personal belongings, they were really pitifully few.

After all, over the years, the Jia Zhang family has always been extremely stingy with her and reluctant to spend a penny on her.

Not to mention accessories and makeup, even the clothes for daily wear are very few.

After helping Qin Huairu move her things, Lou Xiaoe took Qin Huairu directly back to her own small courtyard.

Cao Wei was already waiting here at this time.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu coming back, his face immediately showed a happy expression. He walked forward with concern in his eyes.

When Qin Huairu saw Cao Wei, she ran over and hugged him.

Tears of joy sparkled in her eyes; she had finally gotten her divorce successfully.

Although she still couldn't be with Cao Wei openly, she was finally no longer sneaking around like before, fearing that they would be discovered.

"Well, now I finally got what I wanted. I just have to wait and report to the steel mill in two days."

Cao Wei said with a smile, he patted Qin Huairu's back gently to comfort her.

Qin Huairu also smiled and nodded.

"Well, today is a big day. I'll cook some more food and we can celebrate together."

Her face was filled with a happy smile, as if all the suffering had disappeared at this moment.

"Well, great! We must celebrate today."

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

She looked at Qin Huairu and Cao Wei, and felt happy for them.

While eating, Cao Wei and Lou Xiao'e discussed the housing issue.

"Now Qin Huairu has come here with her two children. Although there are two rooms here, they are not completely separated, and one part is even used as a kitchen, so it is not very comfortable to live in. We need to build another house."

Cao Wei said while eating.

Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"Yeah, I think so too. My courtyard isn't very big, but it's enough to build two more houses. I think we can plan it well so that Qin Huairu and the children can live more comfortably."

"I have already informed Li Huaide, so he doesn't need to help arrange accommodation, but we need to build two more rooms in your courtyard. Li Huaide was happy to save trouble, so he agreed directly and wrote me a note. After dinner, we can go to the street office to report and apply for it." Cao Wei continued.

"We can only stay here temporarily for the next two days. We can move in after the house is built. Fortunately, we bought a bed in advance, otherwise Xiaodang and Huaihua would have nowhere to sleep."

Cao Wei looked at Qin Huairu and the two children.

Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe nodded in agreement. The two adults slept together, and the two children shared a bed.

It's just that Cao Wei couldn't come over during this period of time. After all, it was not convenient to do anything in front of two children.

In the afternoon, Cao Wei brought Lou Xiaoe and Qin Huairu to the street office.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the familiar Aunt Li. Aunt Li was a clerk in the Street Office. Some time ago, she was successfully promoted to deputy director of the Street Office because of her handling of Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, and Jia Zhang's affairs.

When Aunt Li saw Cao Wei, a kind smile immediately appeared on her face.

This person was a great contributor to my promotion and salary increase. If it weren't for Cao Wei, I don't know how long I would have to wait.

"Cao Wei, why are you here today? Who are these two?"

Aunt Li asked curiously. She looked at Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu and felt that they looked familiar.

Cao Wei first introduced Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, this is Lou Xiaoe and Qin Huairu. They were both from Yard 95 before, and now they are both employees of the steel mill."

Aunt Li then remembered that this person was Lou Xiao'e, who had previously been divorcing Xu Damao from Yard 95.

Some time ago, a cross-courtyard area was allocated to Lou Xiao'e.

Another one is the daughter-in-law of Jia Zhang, the one who was involved in all kinds of evil last time.

How are these two people involved with Cao Wei?

Aunt Li was confused, but she didn't ask. After all, some things can't be spread randomly.

"So why are you here..." Aunt Li asked puzzledly.

"Aunt Li, this is what happened. Qin Huairu has now become a regular employee in our steel mill, but the factory doesn't have a suitable place to live for her. Last time, Lou Xiao'e was given a cross-yard, so the factory discussed with Lou Xiao'e and decided to build two more rooms in that cross-yard. Our logistics director asked me to help with this matter. This is a note from the factory."

As he spoke, Cao Wei handed Aunt Li the certificate issued by Li Huaide and Qin Huairu's letter of introduction.

Aunt Li took the note and letter of introduction and looked at them carefully. They were exactly the same as Cao Wei said.

Lou Xiao'e's yard is considered the property of the steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill can build another house on it. All it needs to do is discuss it with the current resident, Lou Xiao'e, and get her consent. It can then just report it to the street office.

Now that Lou Xiao'e is here, she will definitely agree.

But the identity of this Qin Huairu...Aunt Li hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"That's fine, but I remember Qin Huairu is the wife of someone in your courtyard. Why do you want to move out now?"

Aunt Li looked at them with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Oh, that's right, Qin Huairu has divorced Jia Dongxu."

Cao Wei told Aunt Li everything that happened today.

After hearing this, Aunt Li became very angry.

"This Jia family is really going too far!"

Aunt Li cursed indignantly.

The Jia family are simply not human. They treated Qin Huairu so harshly. No wonder she wanted to divorce them.

"Okay, leave it to me. How do you plan to build this house?"

Aunt Li asked them.

Lou Xiao'e took over the conversation and explained their ideas in detail.

"Aunt Li, we want to build another house with two rooms, one for Qin Huairu and the other for her two children. Then we want to build a kitchen. The kitchen should be separated so that it will be more convenient when cooking."

Lou Xiao'e said slowly, gesturing with her hands. "We hope the house can be built sturdily, after all, we will live in it for a long time. And the room needs good lighting, which is also good for the children's health."

Cao Wei also added: "The kitchen facilities should be complete, such as stoves and sinks."

Aunt Li listened to their thoughts and nodded.

"I will try my best to help you find a suitable construction team to build the house according to your requirements. However, the cost of building the house may not be low, so you should be mentally prepared."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Aunt Li, the cost is not a problem. As long as the house can be built and Qin Huairu and the children can live comfortably, it's worth spending any amount of money."

Qin Huairu looked at Aunt Li, Lou Xiaoe and Cao Wei with gratitude.

This money was naturally paid by Cao Wei. Cao Wei now had a lot of spare money in his hands. He had extorted Yi Zhonghai before, and also had the reward from the factory. Together with the money bills given by the system for signing in during this period, Cao Wei had almost 5,000 yuan.

If you take out some of it, it would be more than enough to build a house.

"Aunt Li, when can we find the construction team? We all hope to build the house as soon as possible." Cao Wei asked.

"I will find a better construction team for you in the next two days and try to start work as soon as possible. Don't worry, it takes time to build this house, and quality is the most important thing." Aunt Li said.

"Thank you for your help, Aunt Li. If you need any help, just let me know," said Lou Xiao'e.

"Okay, don't worry. I will take care of this matter. By the way, do you have any requirements for the decoration of the house?" Aunt Li asked.

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "We don't really understand these things either. Please help us."

Qin Huairu also said: "Yes, we don't pursue any luxurious decoration, as long as we can live comfortably."

"Okay, I've taken note of them. If you have any other ideas or requests, you can tell me at any time," said Aunt Li.

"Okay, Aunt Li. Thank you so much." Cao Wei thanked with a smile.

"Don't be so polite. This is what I should do. You can go back and wait for my news. I will notify you as soon as a suitable construction team is found." Aunt Li said with a smile.

Cao Wei, Lou Xiaoe and Qin Huairu said goodbye to Aunt Li and left the street office.

Qin Huairu felt particularly happy when she returned to Lou Xiao'e's small courtyard.

She looked at the small yard. Although it was a little crowded now, she believed that everything would be better after the new house was built.

"Xiao'e, Cao Wei, it's really thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do." Qin Huairu said gratefully.

"Huai Ru, don't say that. We are good sisters, and this is what we should do. We are a family from now on and we should take care of each other." Lou Xiao'e said.

Cao Wei also smiled and said, "Yes, Huairu. Just stay here and wait until the house is built, and then we can plan our future life."
