He Yuzhu heard no more sounds outside, so he walked out. He saw He Daqing looking at the door with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dad, what's wrong? What did you talk about?"

He Yuzhu leaned close to He Daqing, with a hint of concern in his eyes. He noticed that his father's expression was a little serious, which made him a little nervous.

He Daqing looked at his son, who was smiling a little, and his anger subsided a little. He sighed and said, "Don't mind your own business. Go prepare for your chef certification exam."

He Yuzhu heard the seriousness in his father's words and knew that he didn't want to talk more, so he didn't ask any more questions. He responded listlessly and turned back to the house.

He Yuzhu was somewhat puzzled, but he also knew that his father would not easily reveal the content of the conversation. He decided not to think about this matter for the time being, and to concentrate on preparing for the upcoming chef level examination, and other matters would be considered after the examination.

Yi Zhonghai had been waiting for news at the door of the deaf old lady's house, looking out the door from time to time. When he saw the deaf old lady, he immediately stood up and greeted her, anxiously asking, "Old lady, how are you?"

The deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai's anxiety and comforted him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it when we get back!" Yi Zhonghai looked around and felt a little embarrassed. After he helped the deaf old lady into the house, he stared at her closely, expecting her to continue.

The deaf old lady found Yi Zhonghai's expression a little funny. She thought to herself that this young man was too impatient. So she said, "It's all settled. Don't worry. He will definitely leave by the end of this month at the latest."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he immediately showed his joy and said excitedly: "That's great! I will be a master soon!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that there was a deaf old lady beside him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the deaf old lady with a little shame and said, "Old lady, don't worry, when this is done, I will definitely not forget your braised pork. I will go back first."

After saying this, without waiting for the deaf old lady to respond, he left the room, closed the door and hurried away.

The next day, just after breakfast, He Daqing asked Sha Zhu to remember to ask for leave for him, and then left in a hurry.

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing's departing back and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He didn't know what had happened, but he didn't think about it for long and decided to go to the steel mill. When he went out, he happened to meet Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai, and the three of them went together.

At this time, He Yuzhu noticed that Yi Zhonghai looked a little strange, and seemed to be too happy, which made him feel a little strange. He decided to test Yi Zhonghai to see what was going on. So he said, "Second Master, you are so happy, is there something good happening?"

"Of course, not yet..." Before he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flickered, and he remembered that He Yuzhu was trying to trick him, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that our steel mill is going to take a grade test, and I'm wondering if I can be promoted from a seventh-grade worker to an eighth-grade worker."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Looking at how happy Second Master is, it must be a sure thing!"

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay." Yi Zhonghai smiled modestly, but the confidence on his face could not be concealed.

Jia Dongxu was very happy to hear that his master might be promoted to the eighth-level worker in this exam. He said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master, you will definitely pass the exam. I support you!"

He Yuzhu was really happy to see Yi Zhonghai, but he was even more confused, thinking that this matter was not that simple. He decided to start with He Daqing to find out what happened.

Along the way, He Yuzhu was thinking in his heart, and his expression became a little serious. Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu's expression and felt nervous, wondering if he had discovered anything. Jia Dongxu was immersed in the joy that his master would soon become an eighth-level worker.

After He Daqing came out of the courtyard, he immediately began to inquire about the class division. However, the information he got was not optimistic and was very unfavorable to him. He realized that he might really have to act according to the wishes of the deaf old lady.

He felt mixed emotions and was overwhelmed by disappointment. He walked slowly back home. Bai Xiaolian at home saw his distraught look and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Daqing, what's wrong with you?"

He Daqing hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Bai Xiaolian about the incident, including the threat from the deaf old lady. Bai Xiaolian was shocked after hearing this, and she couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

Then she asked eagerly: "Then we can live in my house, okay?"

He Daqing looked at Bai Xiaolian and shook his head. Bai Xiaolian sat down on the ground weakly, and the light in her eyes disappeared.

He Daqing felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Bai Xiaolian like this. He didn't want to implicate her.

He said to Bai Xiaolian softly, "Xiaolian, why don't we get divorced? This way, even if something happens, you won't be implicated."

Bai Xiaolian's eyes widened, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, she said firmly: "Daqing, I will not divorce you. Isn't it just leaving here? Let's go to my hometown Baoding! I have a brother who has some influence in Baoding, we will be fine if we go there."

He Daqing was moved. He looked at Bai Xiaolian's determined eyes and knew that what she said was true.

So, He Daqing said with tenderness in his eyes: "Okay, everything is up to you. Go pack your things first, and we will tell Sha Zhu and leave quietly with the children tomorrow. Anyway, we have already separated, so even if something happens, Sha Zhu will not be implicated."

Bai Xiaolian nodded, turned around and started packing her things. He Daqing looked at her from behind, feeling touched and guilty, but he also understood that this was their only way out.
