Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

"Ah?" Yi Zhonghai was stunned. After a long while, he said, "You actually processed our divorce without my knowledge. How could you do this?"

The clerk said calmly, "According to convention, in your case, Comrade Zhou Shufen is the victim and has the right to apply for a divorce without your presence. Besides, you are already involved with Qin Huairu from your hospital, so why would you care about your wife?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned red. "But my family has lost a lot of money!"

"Even if we get divorced, Zhou Shufen can't take away a penny from my Yi family!" Yi Zhonghai was furious at this time. Although divorcing Zhou Shufen made Yi Zhonghai a little uncomfortable, to be honest, he was relieved in his heart. When he was with Qin Huairu in the future, no one would say that he was having an affair.

If he could remarry Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai would feel happy thinking about the happy life in the future.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was daydreaming, the clerk next to him spoke: "Why can't you take the money? Your money is for the support of Zhou Shufen. Okay, go quickly. I don't have time to argue with you."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to walk out of the street office in despair. He originally wanted to go to the police station to report the incident, but the attitude of the street office just now made him unsure. Since the street office said there was no problem, it was probably true. He could not get his money back.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai walked quickly back home.

A month later, word spread in the courtyard that Yi Zhonghai and his wife were getting divorced, and Yida left the city.

This really satisfied the spectators in the courtyard, and the subsequent spectators were even more exciting.

After Yi Zhonghai returned to the factory to work, the apprentices in the workshop broke off their master-apprentice relationship with him one after another, and the factory then punished Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai was demoted from a level 8 worker to a level 6 worker and could not take the grade test within two years, while Qin Huairu was transferred from the workshop to the cleaning team. Although the work was not tiring, there was no room for advancement.

Qin Huairu didn't feel sad about this. She had no locksmith skills anyway, so she might as well just sweep the floor.

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were even more daring. Yi Zhonghai openly helped Qin Huairu with the work. Qin Huairu did not agree at first, but later, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family said something, but Jia Zhang, who was originally hostile to Yi Zhonghai, also acquiesced to their actions.

A month later, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu dressed up and left the courtyard, which surprised everyone in the courtyard. Soon, the two came back with their things. Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone in the courtyard was looking at them, so he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Since everyone is here, I will announce something. Comrade Qin Huairu and I are getting married today. This is our marriage certificate."

Everyone was stunned by the news. They didn't expect there would be such a shameless person.

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say. Yi Zhonghai didn't care about other people's opinions now. He was thinking that he had already lost face, so he didn't care about face anymore.

Yi Zhonghai dragged Qin Huairu into the Jia family. Jia Zhang sat on the kang and stared at them. "Old Yi, are you going to give me all the 500 yuan you promised me?"

The fact that the aunt took away most of the Yi family's property was not spread out. In order to marry Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai promised to give Jia Zhang 500 yuan. Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu discussed it and agreed. They knew that the old Yi family was rich, so they wanted to seize the Yi family's property.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai would not go out and say that he had no money, so the matter was settled and the certificate was obtained today.

After Jia Zhang had cleaned up, Yi Zhonghai led his family out of the courtyard. The old lady stood at the backyard door watching this scene, wondering if she regretted letting the old lady run away.

Ever since Auntie left, Yi Zhonghai no longer cared about the old lady. These days, the old lady eats with Sha Zhu.

Soon it was evening, and the people in the courtyard were shocked by the news of Yi Zhonghai's marriage as soon as they got off work. Sha Zhu was even more stunned, then went home without saying anything.

He had never expected that his revenge on them would have such an effect. Now Sha Zhu no longer had any contact with the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai. He was also thinking of finding a wife, preferably one who could take care of children. He was no longer able to have children, but he could not let the He family become extinct.

Sha Zhu knew that with his reputation, girls in the city would definitely not marry him, so during his holidays he went to the countryside to ask a matchmaker to introduce him to a girl. Now the matchmaker has already identified a few suitable families and is waiting for Sha Zhu to go and see them.

Sha Zhu plans to go and see the couple this Saturday. If they are suitable, they will get the marriage certificate in the next few days.

Of course, Sha Zhu would not bring the person back to the courtyard before getting the marriage certificate. There are too many bad people in this courtyard, and who knows what might happen.

The courtyard was a bit lively after that. Qin Huairu packed her luggage and moved into the Yi family that night. She heard from the Yi family’s neighbors that the Yi family was noisy for most of the night. The next morning, Yi Zhonghai’s obvious dark circles under his eyes made the women in the courtyard laugh and envy. The men in their families now turned their backs to them when they slept, and it seemed like a blasphemy to them if they looked at them for one more moment, let alone get intimate with them.

The men in the yard all envied Yi Zhonghai. He was so old, but he still had a young girlfriend. However, under the tigress-like eyes of their wives, the men in the yard could only bury their envy in their hearts.

As for Sha Zhu, he went out for the day on Saturday, so He Yushui and the old lady had to cook for themselves. The people in the courtyard didn't care. But on Monday, Sha Zhu brought a girl of about 22 or 23 and a boy of about three or four years old to the courtyard.

Seeing this, everyone was curious and asked about the identities of the two people. Sha Zhu happily said that they were his wife and child, and asked everyone to take good care of them in the future.

Then he took the child and the girl into the house. People in the yard were talking about it. They didn't expect that Sha Zhu's work this time was concealed so well and not a word was leaked to anyone in the yard.

Afterwards, Sha Zhu took his wife and children to the backyard to see the old lady. The old lady's face was full of joy, but there was a little sadness in her eyes. Sha Zhu had confessed to the old lady before that he would never have his own children in the future. Although the old lady was sad, she still gave Sha Zhu some advice, asking him to go to the countryside and find a widow with a child to marry, preferably one who had no one from either her husband's or her own family, as such a person would have no involvement.

Sha Zhu listened to the old lady and went to the countryside. Now Sha Zhu brought his wife and children back, so the old lady naturally couldn't turn her back on him. Sha Zhu introduced his wife to them as his grandmother and sister, and asked her to take good care of them in the future.

The widow who married Sha Zhu missed Zhao, that is, Zhao Liuye. The mother and daughter would depend on Sha Zhu for their livelihood in the future, so they would naturally listen to Sha Zhu.
