Yi Zhonghai's rude behavior still left a mark on Jia Zhang's face. Under the impact, Jia Zhang suddenly sat down on the ground, looking extremely stunned.

"Come and help! Someone is attacking an old man, help!" Feeling her own disadvantage, Jia Zhang shouted for help.

At this moment, Bang Geng suddenly exerted force, broke free from the restraints, and quickly pounced towards Jia Zhang.

"Grandma..." With pain and indignation, Banggeng rushed to Jia Zhang and asked for protection.

Under the gazes of the crowd, especially led by Jia Zhang's shrill screams, rumors spread, not only the neighbors, but even people in the next yard were attracted to watch.

"Yi Zhonghai! How dare you bully my grandson!" Facing the focused gazes of the crowd, Jia Zhang was full of vigor.

Facing such accusations and criticisms, Yi Zhonghai dared not speak a word in his defense, as he caught a glimpse of his wife standing in the crowd with an expressionless face.

"My mother is pregnant with a grandfather..."

Bang Geng revealed the family secret, shocking everyone.

"Widow Qin is pregnant?"

"The child's father is an uncle?"

"But isn't it true that the old man is infertile?"

There was constant whispering in the crowd, and when a woman heard these words, her face suddenly dimmed.

He Yuzhu and He Yushui looked at Yi Zhonghai in amazement. They had never thought that he would do such an immoral thing and involve other people's lives.

"Uncle, is this really the case?" He Yuzhu still couldn't believe that Yi Zhonghai would actually do this.

Yi Zhonghai felt embarrassed, as if his private scars had been exposed.

As for Qin Huairu, she was even more ashamed. As a widow, she was accused in this way, and all her excuses could not save the situation.

"Qin Huairu, you should find a suitable person, not like that unscrupulous old man Yi Zhonghai!" Jia Zhang stood up angrily, walked straight towards Qin Huairu, raised her hand and prepared to teach her a lesson.

Qin Huairu retreated in fear. Yi Zhonghai was afraid that the situation would escalate, so he quickly grabbed Jia Zhang's wrist and tried to stop the dispute.

"You old fool, how dare you attack me!" Although Jia Zhang's wrist was caught, her mouth was still filled with angry words.

Zhang Yu quickly comforted the neighbors around him, "Everyone please go away, this is just a family matter."

He Yushui also noticed that something was wrong with the old lady and quickly reached out to express his concern.

Suddenly, the old lady's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

"Oh no, this might be an old lady having a heart attack. She needs to be taken to the hospital immediately!" Zhang Yu immediately called for help.

"Brother Zhu, come and help!" he ordered anxiously.

It was only then that He Yuzhu reacted and quickly joined the ranks of those helping. The two of them hurriedly lifted the old lady into the ambulance.

Seeing his wife faint, Yi Zhonghai wanted to go over to help, but he was held tightly by Jia Zhang and could not move.

After arriving at the hospital, the medical staff tried their best to save her life. She received rehabilitation treatment in a single room.

Considering the pregnant Ran Qiuye, Zhang Yu asked He Yuzhu to go home to recuperate, while he stayed in the hospital to make follow-up arrangements.

After the two left, until late at night...

After everyone sent Auntie to the hospital, Yi Zhonghai wanted to go and visit her, but Jia Zhang firmly opposed it and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The matter eventually had to escalate to the point where the police had to intervene, because Jia Zhang insisted that the child's matter was related to Yi Zhonghai, so everyone was summoned to the police station for trial.

In the new day, He Yuzhu was feeling restless and wanted only to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Zhang Yu has now withdrawn from the turbulent family disputes and devoted himself to the hospital to accompany his wife and aunt. In the first request of aunt after she regained her consciousness, she hoped that He Yushui would bring a message to Yi Zhonghai - she had decided to end her marriage with him.

After they accompanied the aunt back home from the hospital, they went straight to see the deaf old lady. After learning about the unusual behavior, the deaf old lady was furious and stood up to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson...

"Don't be sad, Auntie. I've already taught you a lesson. If you still feel unwilling, you can come and beat him up again."

Noticing that He Yushui had some plans, Zhang Yu stopped her considerately and said softly, "We'd better not cross the line when it comes to matters concerning the feelings of the elderly."

The old lady understood her thoughts: "I understand what you are thinking, but the facts are a foregone conclusion. You are not young anymore. You can't let quarrels affect you anymore. How are you going to live after the divorce?"

Her words triggered a heavy sigh from the aunt: "In fact, I am not completely unaware of the matter between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. I'm sure you, old lady, are well aware of it."

Faced with her straightforward words, the deaf old lady seemed a little embarrassed, her eyes drifting to the Zhang Yu couple in the distance. She said helplessly: "Men tend to be confused in their old age, and they are fascinated by beautiful widows and stray from the right path. I asked him to face and explain the mistakes made by Yi Zhonghai directly.

The first lady tightly grasped the hand of the deaf old lady, shook her head slightly and said, "You know very well that Yi Zhonghai has always longed for a son. However, time is ruthless, and I no longer have the chance to get pregnant. This is a great regret in my heart. I know the truth, but I choose not to face it. I thought I would be lonely and helpless if I left him, but now I realize that no matter what the outcome is, I can't get these people out of my heart. Please rest assured that no matter what choice you make, we will take good care of your later years."

This promise touched He Yushui and Zhang Yu.

Then, He Yuzhu led Yi Zhonghai into the house. Zhang Yu was surprised to find that he looked much older in the past few days. His black hair was mixed with silver, making him look even older, like an old man in his twilight years.

Seeing the aunt, Yi Zhonghai calmly asked, "You're here." His voice was brief and cold. He lowered his head, full of regret, not daring to look directly at the person who used to be his wife, and whispered self-reproachfully, "I'm sorry."

The gentle aunt opened her lips and said, "At this point, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Yu Zhu also told you that I will end our marriage."

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and remained silent.

"Hurry up and admit your mistake to grandma and tell her that you're going to cut off all contact with Widow Qin. This marriage can't be broken up again!" He Yuzhu shouted anxiously.

Yi Zhonghai did not respond. Everyone knew that he longed to be freed from the marriage that bound him.

In comparison, Qin Huairu's child is far more important to him than his wife who has accompanied him through so many years.

He Yushui looked at Yi Zhonghai with contempt in his eyes.

"I'm really sorry. It's really hard for me to abandon the baby in Qin Huairu's belly." Yi Zhonghai bowed deeply to the aunt, revealing his true feelings.

The auntie calmly replied, "As early as when Huairu was pregnant, I guessed that you would choose to divorce me for the sake of the child."

With tears on his face, Yi Zhonghai held his wife's hand tightly and said with sobs, "The family needs successors!" His words were full of sorrow and struggle.

The deaf old lady swung her cane and hit him hard on the shoulder. "You idiot! Why didn't you think before that it doesn't matter if you don't have children, as long as you two are in love?" She asked harshly.

Even though he was attacked by pain, Yi Zhonghai still endured it and did not dodge even a single step.

"At first, I didn't consider the issue of having children, but when it really came up, I realized how much I wanted a child to inherit me." Yi Zhonghai cried painfully, like a helpless child.

Which adult doesn’t miss their children? Even a middle-aged woman may still long for a child of her own flesh and blood.

The first lady turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "I understand your suffering. We will get a divorce tomorrow, but before we end this relationship, there is one thing we must clarify."

Yi Zhongqiu raised his head and said firmly, "What's the matter?"

The lady slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "You have two rooms at my place. We will each keep one after we separate."

Faced with this incident, Yi Zhongqiu did not show any overly surprised expression, obviously he had a premonition.

"Yeah, okay." He responded calmly.

"You have worked hard to save your entire life, and there is 1,540 dollars. You also need to divide it into equal parts and keep one portion for each of you."

"Is it too much?" Yi Zhongqiu showed a little anxiety.

"You have superb skills and rich experience, and your future income will surely be considerable. I am weak and have no stable source of income, so I hope to keep half."

Zhang Yu interrupted: "Auntie has spent most of your life with you. How can this money offset this affectionate memory?"

Yi Zhongqiu was in a dilemma. Noticing his wife's cold face and the deaf old lady's awkward look, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll agree."

Then, the aunt put forward one final condition: "Even if we get divorced, I will still live in this yard. But we will go our separate ways and no longer have any contact with each other. No matter whether your life is smooth or difficult in the future, you can't bother me."

With a heavy heart, Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and acquiesced: "I agree."

The simple word "yes" symbolically marked the end of the couple's thirty-year marriage.

......

There were obvious bruises on Qin Huairuo's cheeks, obviously the result of being severely beaten by Jia Zhangshi out of disappointment.

Qin Huairuo gently touched her bulging belly and answered firmly: "I will take good care of the children. You go back first, and I will go to persuade my mother-in-law."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement and reminded again: "Remember, we don't need to avoid the eyes of outsiders in our relationship now, and we don't need to worry about what others think."

Qin Huairuo smiled slightly when he heard this, and agreed with his point of view. "I know."

After dealing with Jia Zhang's endless quarrels, even though he felt bitter inside, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to leave behind only two bags of flour as a token of his gratitude.

In response to this situation, Jia Zhang showed no mercy. She grabbed the flour and slammed the door.

Looking at the receding figure, Yi Zhongqiu smiled bitterly and turned away.

Behind the closed door, Jia Zhang quietly wiped away her tears, tightly grasped the flour, and said coldly: "Qin Huairu, let me tell you, do you think you can get rid of the Jia family with Yi Zhonghai? This is simply wishful thinking!"

Qin Huairuo, who was locked in the door, did not hide her feelings: "Mom, I'm not taking the initiative! I just want to help Banggeng buy a property."

"Tsk, I think your ambition has exceeded your duty, you deserve it!"

Qin Huairu's face became even gloomier when she mentioned the encounter with Yi Zhonghai on the street in the past. "Yi Zhonghai has property, and he is able to support the three of us. The houses are only guaranteed during his absence."

At this moment, Qin Huairu did not realize that Yi Zhonghai had made a huge concession for the divorce. In her heart, Qin Huairu had decided to explain her original intention to her family: "Bangbang will definitely go out into the world in the future. It is impossible for him to live with us all his life. He will definitely continue to make money..."

Jia Zhang said firmly: "Don't even think about the two families getting married."

Qin Huairu knew that Jia Zhang's strong opposition was not because she was reluctant to let her remarry, but because she was more worried that she would be lonely and unattended in her old age. Therefore, Qin Huairu comforted her: "You can rest assured that even if I marry Yi Zhonghai, your quality of life will be guaranteed by me. I will make sure that he pays alimony on time."

Jia Zhang was shaken by what she heard, but she still stuck to her principles.

At this moment, Zhang Yu received the latest task prompt from the system on his electronic device at home: "Qin Huairu is unstable again, you must stand up to stop her greedy behavior. Completing the task will reward you with 1 free characteristic value point." He couldn't help but sigh: "Did I really anger Qin Huairu? Do I have to waste my energy on this?" However, the system did not answer his question.
