Xu Damao fell into deep thought after hearing this. He didn't want to get divorced, nor did he want to go to jail. His success in the steel mill was inseparable from his father-in-law.

Even if he wants to divorce, he has to wait until he finds a new partner. Not only that, he has to let Lou Xiao'e leave all her dowry.

But now he has no choice. If he doesn't divorce, he will go to jail.

No, no, Xu Damao suddenly realized that these things were too coincidental. Lou Xiaoe came to him for a divorce the day after he was arrested. Could it be...

"Have you made up your mind? Divorce or not? My dad won't care if you don't agree."

Xu Damao lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly he raised his head and spoke to Lou Xiaoe.

"This is all a setup by Lou Zhenhua!"

Lou Xiao'e was shocked that he had guessed it.

Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e's panic. He was just testing it just now, but now he can be sure.

Lou Xiao'e pretended to be calm and continued, "Don't talk nonsense. My father never did this. My coming here today has nothing to do with him."

"You both know whether you did it or not. Just give up on this idea. I won't divorce you!"

After a night's rest, Xu Damao gradually calmed down from his initial panic.

Lou Zhenhua could have forced me to divorce openly, but he chose to spend so much effort setting up a trap to deal with me. This means that there must be some reason that restricted Lou Zhenhua and forced him to deal with me in this way.

He was betting on this possibility. As long as he refused to divorce, Lou Xiao'e would continue to pester him.

What's more, he was framed. He only needed to wait quietly in the detention center for a few days. He could be released after the investigation results came out. Then he could go and settle the score with the Lou family.

"You! You are shameless!"

"How can you be so shameless! You went to so much trouble to set up this scheme just to make me agree to a divorce."

"Comrade, it's time to visit the prison."

Just when Lou Xiao'e wanted to say something, the visiting time was up, and Lou Xiao'e had to leave obediently.

After returning home, Lou Xiao'e became restless and finally decided to go home to ask Lou Zhenhua for help.

"I know everything. I will take care of this matter. You don't have to worry about it."

Lou Zhenhua felt tired. Did he protect his daughter too well?

……

"Xu Damao, come out and find you a new place."

The prison guard took Xu Damao to another cell, where several strong men were staring at him covetously.

After the warning left, several people surrounded Xu Damao.

"Your name is Xu Damao?"

"What are you doing? I'm telling you, this is in the police station! Stay away from me!"

These people were called by Lou Zhenhua to deal with Xu Damao.

"Help, help, I hit someone, police officer, come and save me!"

Several big men looked at each other, and one of them punched another man in the nose, making him bleed from the nose.

"What are you shouting for? You're already in the detention center and you're still not behaving yourself!"

The guard came over with dissatisfaction.

"Comrade police, this guy beat someone up and my brother has a nosebleed!"

Xu Damao was stunned. He was clearly asking for help, so how could he suddenly be accused of beating people?

"He dares to beat people even after entering the detention center. He really doesn't take us seriously. Xiao Liu, send him to the solitary confinement room!"

As a result of Lou Zhenhua's operation, the person who was beaten was diagnosed with concussion and broken nose.

He also appealed and accused Xu Damao of suspected intentional injury.

If you beat someone during detention, the crime will be aggravated and you will not only have to pay compensation but also have to serve an additional sentence.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao for the second time, he had become much more haggard.

"Will Xu Damao get a divorce?"

"Leave!"

"Uh-huh?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't react for a moment. She refused to divorce last time, so why did she agree so easily this time?

"What did you say?"

"I agree to divorce! Are you satisfied?"

Xu Damao stared at Lou Xiao'e and said this word by word.

That night, Lou Xiao'e bought a bunch of delicious food and returned to the courtyard. She was finally going to get rid of Xu Damao.

"Xiao'e, why are you so happy?"

"Second Aunt, I want a divorce!"

"Divorce? Why are you so happy about divorce?" She couldn't understand.

Divorce means second marriage. How will Lou Xiao'e live after divorce without a job? As the old saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. She can't just go home and rely on her parents.

"Xiao'e, you must stay calm. Divorce is not a trivial matter."

The second aunt wanted to persuade her but was blocked by Lou Xiao'e using Xu Damao's medical examination form.

"Second Aunt Xu Damao is infertile. You can't let me become a childless person with him."

"what!"

Several middle-aged women opened their mouths in shock. It turned out that Xu Damao was infertile. Didn't that mean they had been blaming Lou Xiao'e wrongly all along?

The news that Xu Damao was infertile soon spread throughout the courtyard. He was very unpopular in the courtyard, so everyone basically laughed at him when they talked about him.

"Sister Xiao'e, I heard you want a divorce?"

"Why are you here to persuade me not to divorce Xu Damao?"

Just now, several nosy middle-aged women came to persuade Lou Xiao'e not to divorce. Those who didn't know would think that Xu Damao was their son and Lou Xiao'e was their daughter-in-law.

"On the contrary, I'm here to support you. Marriage is about living together, not being wronged. Besides, Xu Damao himself is not a good person."

"You still understand me! Come, have something to eat with me."

"Okay, I haven't eaten yet."

Su Yun took a stool and sat at the dining table and picked up a piece of braised meat without hesitation.

"What are you going to do after the divorce?"

"I'm going home."

"and then?"

“And then get on with your life.”

She didn't understand why Su Yun asked this.

"Sister Xiao'e, aren't you afraid that Xu Damao will retaliate against you? He has been your family's son-in-law for so many years. Are you sure he doesn't have any leverage over your family?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the stool.
