Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

It just so happens that Zhang Yu is extremely serious about relationships and takes marriage very seriously, otherwise he would not have been able to spend his life with partners like He Yushui and Wu Fei.

These days, Zhang Yu has been thinking about how to properly deal with Tian Yulan. He used the discussion of Yan Ziyu's studies yesterday as a test. However, the result made him feel that life was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.

"Do you really want to divorce Tian Yulan?" Xia Junshan could read some subtle emotions from Zhang Yu's expression.

Zhang Yu sighed: "Not right now, after all, the child is still young, and divorce would be too cruel to him."

Xia Junshan wanted to say something to persuade them but he didn't know how to start. How could an outsider easily judge a matter like love?

Xia Junshan ordered a bottle of wine from the waiter and drank with Zhang Yu. Although both of them avoided talking about divorce, they both understood that silence did not mean nothing was wrong.

Xia Junshan was not good at drinking, and after a few sips he was not fit to drive, so he asked a designated driver to take Zhang Yu home first. Most of the bottle of liquor went into Zhang Yu's stomach, making him slightly tipsy.

Out of consideration for Zhang Yu's safety while drunk, Xia Junshan asked him to go home first and then find a designated driver to take him home. When Zhang Yu got home, it was pitch black, and Yan Ziyou was probably already asleep.

When Tian Yulan heard the door open, she hurried out of the room. Seeing Zhang Yu drunk, she couldn't help but frown.

"Why are you drinking tonight? Aren't you having dinner with Xia Junshan? You never drank before!" Tian Yulan walked forward to support him, but was rejected by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu explained: "I was in a good mood today and couldn't help but drink a little. I didn't drink much, so I didn't lose my composure."

Zhang Yu went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water to prove that he was not drunk.

"If you really drink in the future, it's better not to get together." Tian Yulan was still in a bad mood.

Regarding this, Zhang Yu sighed: "I really don't drink much."

"The point is not the amount, but that you shouldn't drink. I remember that you were not a person who liked to drink in the past!" Tian Yulan complained.

After putting down the water cup, Zhang Yu agreed: “Okay, I won’t drink it anymore.”

Looking at Zhang Yu, who looked a little embarrassed, Tian Yulan explained, "I'm not asking you not to drink. I'm just worried that drinking too much might lead to accidents. There are many examples of alcoholism causing accidents in the news every day."

Zhang Yu approached Tian Yulan and nodded his head, promising: "I will listen to you."

Tian Yulan frowned: "You stink of alcohol, go brush your teeth and take a shower, I have new clothes in the bathroom cabinet."

Zhang Yu nodded, walked towards the bathroom, and took off his clothes as he walked.

Tian Yulan took the clothes and fumbled with her pockets to put them in the washing machine.

When she turned up Zhang Yu's pants, her fingers paused and she found a mobile phone inside, which belonged to Zhang Yu.

Tian Yulan looked at Zhang Yu who had already walked into the bathroom, then looked down at her phone, struggling internally.

After a few seconds, she finally slid open the screen, entered the simple six-digit password to log into the phone, searched for the call record and opened it lightly.

At this moment, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Zhang Yu, with foam all over his head, poked his head out and asked, "The shampoo is gone, where is the new one?"

Tian Yulan was like a child who was exposed on the spot. She hurriedly retracted her hands and hid them behind her back.

But it was too late, Zhang Yu had already seen his cell phone clearly.

Faced with a somewhat deadlocked situation, Tian Yulan said awkwardly: "The new one is on the sideboard."

With a serious expression, Zhang Yu asked bluntly: "Are you spying on what I'm doing? Why don't you just ask?" He walked out of the bathroom wrapped only in a towel.

Tian Yulan panicked: "I just...it was just a coincidence."

The more she tried to cover it up, the more obvious her stupidity became to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu continued to ask calmly, "Are you questioning the authenticity of my dinner with Xia Junshan?"

Tian Yulan took a step back, looking a little guilty: "I didn't... I didn't believe you."

This act of trying to cover up one's faults deepened Zhang Yu's dissatisfaction with Tian Yulan.

Zhang Yu sneered, "Why don't you call Xia Junshan and ask?" Tian Yulan swallowed her saliva, straightened her back and said, "I'm just curious. We are husband and wife, why can't I see what's in your phone?"

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "You don't trust me?"

Tian Yulan responded firmly: "Your behavior has been a little abnormal recently, and you almost quarreled with me yesterday. I just want to know the reason for the change."

"In fact," Zhang Yu sighed, "I changed recently because I felt that you were too busy with household chores and taking care of Ziyou, and I wanted to share more of the burden."

She then asked, "Then why did you suggest Ziyou to apply to an international school?"

"I have been tutoring Ziyou these past few days and have discovered that he is very capable of independent learning, but he does not have enough time for extracurricular activities. I feel sorry for him, so I am considering sending him to an international school with a lighter academic burden. It will take him another two years to enter junior high school," he explained. "I was just discussing this with you, but you always change the subject and insist on talking about divorce."

Seeing Tian Yulan looking a little uneasy, Zhang Yu said, "Now that we have come clean, I think our conversation is very important and we need to have a serious talk about it."

Tian Yulan was uneasy, but unwilling to admit her mistake, and said loudly: "Unless you feel guilty, why would you worry about me looking at my phone?"

"If there is not even the most basic mutual trust between husband and wife, what is the meaning of such a life?" Zhang Yu retorted with a frown.

"You finally said these words. Have you intended to leave me for a long time?" Tian Yulan asked excitedly.

Zhang Yu suppressed his anger and tried his best to control himself. "It's late now. Ziyou has already gone to bed. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. Don't wake him up."

Tian Yulan took a deep breath and said, "Let me tell you, even if we really get divorced, Ziyou will definitely belong to me. Don't expect to fight for it."

Faced with such a stubborn Tian Yulan, Zhang Yu was about to lose his patience, but thinking of his son Yan Ziyou, he remained restrained. "I'm still drunk today, I don't want to quarrel, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Watching her husband leave, Tian Yulan's heart tightened. She suddenly remembered her son, gritted her teeth, threw Zhang Yu's phone down and went into the bedroom.

Zhang Yu picked up the phone, took a quick look at it and put it back on the coffee table. Then he started to wash up. Instead of returning to his room, he spent the night alone on the sofa in the living room.

In the bedroom, Tian Yulan looked at the door vigilantly, and when she saw that Zhang Yu had not entered for a long time, she could not help but burst into tears. Looking back on the past, even if there was a conflict, Yan Peng would always bow his head to coax her first, and would never let herself fall asleep with grievances.

The thought made her feel doubly sad; her husband did seem to have changed.

The next morning, Zhang Yu cleaned up the marks on the sofa before Yan Ziyu woke up to prevent him from noticing anything unusual, and then started to prepare breakfast.

Tian Yulan walked out of the bedroom without giving Zhang Yu any response, as if she wanted to respond with silent resistance.

When Zhang Yu saw the right time, he woke up Yan Ziyou. Ziyou didn't notice the disagreement between his parents, ate happily, and then prepared to go out with his schoolbag on his back.

Before leaving, the two had a brief conversation: "I'll take Ziyou to school."

Tian Yulan was silent for a moment, then just nodded coldly.

As if he had noticed something, Yan Ziyou looked at his parents with scrutiny. Zhang Yu touched his head and urged him, "Hurry up and go to school."

Hearing his father's words, Ziyou nodded and followed Zhang Yu out the door.

After the father and son left, Tian Yulan put away the dishes and chopsticks, walked into the study, and took out a pile of documents. The big headline at the top read: Divorce Agreement.

Tian Yulan held the agreement, hesitated, and finally put it into her bag.

Zhang Yu and Yan Ziyou chose to walk to the school bus stop. Their home was not far from Fengfan Primary School, only two stops away. When they arrived at the school gate, Zhang Yu led Ziyou to walk slowly, and the two saw Zhang Xueer and Zhong Yi outside the school gate from a distance.

The conversation between the two seemed quite intense, and even Zhang Yu and Yan Ziyu, who were nearby, did not notice it.

"The school has clear regulations that teachers are not allowed to offer tutoring classes after school. Why do you insist on not listening?" Zhang Xueer's tone was a little displeased, and her voice involuntarily raised a little.

"Xue'er, I run a cram school for our future. This way I can earn more and buy a house and start a family in the future." Zhong Yi explained.

"I've told you many times that I don't care whether I have a house or not. Renting is just as good." Zhang Xueer seemed angry.

"You don't care, but your parents do! They have urged me more than once, openly and secretly, to buy a house and settle down, but the salary I earn is not enough to buy a house," said Zhong Yi.

"That's my parents' business, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you don't despise me, anything is fine. I just hope we can work together." Zhang Xueer held Zhong Yi and said:

“Stop the after-school cram school and study hard at work. I believe that if we work together, we will be able to buy a house one day.”

"I can't wait any longer. I'm 30 years old and there's only 50,000 yuan in my bank account, which is not even enough for the down payment. Do you want us to wait a little longer?" Zhong Yi said helplessly.

"I earn more money running a cram school outside. I should be able to save enough for a down payment within two years. Then I will marry you home in style." He insisted.

Hearing this, Zhang Xueer said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you understand what I really need!"

Zhong Yi shouted: "Then why can't you understand me? We are different. I am from the countryside and I dream of owning a house in the city that truly belongs to me!"

Seeing Zhang Yu leading Yan Ziyu over, Zhang Xueer immediately ended the argument and greeted Zhang Yu.

Zhong Yi looked a little embarrassed when he caught sight of Zhang Yu.

After meeting the two, Zhang Xueer immediately suggested to Yan Ziyou: "Son, go to class with the teacher."

Without hesitation, Zhang Yu handed Yan Ziyu over to Zhang Xueer. The look she gave Zhong Yi when she left revealed that they still had something to say.

Zhang Yi felt a little disappointed as he watched Zhang Xueer and Yan Ziyou leave. He was a little frustrated that his efforts in love were not understood and responded to.

As they disappeared from view, Zhang Yu said to Zhong Yi, "Teacher, our previous arrangement has not changed, right?"

After cheering up, Zhong Yi smiled and replied to Zhang Yu: "Ziyou, it can be delivered today, Mr. Yan."

Zhang Yu nodded and agreed, "Okay." He added, "Teacher will one day understand the pressure men have in society."

Zhong Yi frowned slightly, hoping to avoid his personal problems from the students.

Zhang Yu then kept silent and did not talk about the matter any more, and left Zhanwang. He and Zhong Yi did not have a deep discussion about their relationship.

With a long sigh, Teacher Zhong strode towards Fengfan Primary School.

Zhang Yu called a car and went straight to the company, handing in a resignation letter. The boring job was not suitable for him.

He was bored in the office and decided to resign after careful consideration. Before that, he had to communicate with his parents.

After all, he was able to get this job because of his father's relationship. Zhang Yu planned to make his own decision and then tell his father.

This was too personal a matter to discuss over the phone, so they arranged a family dinner at dinnertime.

Zhang Yu also called Tian Yulan, but no one answered. He only left a message to express his intention.

An hour later, Tian Yulan responded that she had to work overtime in the evening and could not come to the appointment.

Without asking any more questions, he spent forty minutes organizing his work tasks. In his spare time, he kept an eye on the developments in the stock market.

Today, Wuwei Chemical opened with strong momentum and its stock price rose sharply. Such fluctuations caught his attention.
