Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Divorce is a simple yet complicated matter. It can be as simple as going to a government department to get a certificate, but it can also be as complicated as arguing over the division of property between husband and wife, or even the pots and pans at home.

Fortunately, the street office is only responsible for stamping visas. As for how Sister Luo and her husband divide their property, Cheng Hao has no responsibility and no need to care.

At most, for the sake of Deputy Director Luo, I could give Sister Luo a few words of advice and tell her that she could ask the judicial department to notarize the document and protect her property rights.

Of course, reminders are just reminders, but what to do specifically depends on Sister Luo’s own situation.

Under the threat of Liu Daneng's fist, Sister Luo probably won't be able to make any waves.

Furthermore, most of the Liu family's property was earned by Liu Daneng through hard work, so it stands to reason that Sister Luo should not get too much.

As the street office staff stamped a bright red seal on the marriage certificate inside the window, Sister Luo and Liu Daneng officially dissolved their marriage.

After receiving the divorce certificate, Liu Daneng breathed a sigh of relief. He felt much more relaxed, as if a mountain had been lifted from his shoulders.

In contrast, Sister Luo looked as pale as death. She stood there for a long time holding the marriage certificate, unable to let go.

The middle-aged divorce was obviously a heavier blow to Sister Luo.

Without Liu Daneng's support, and with his daughter being a useless person doing nothing, it is foreseeable that the living standard will plummet, and there will be no hope for the future.

After finishing his work, Liu Daneng ignored the distraught Sister Luo and strode out of the street office towards the rising sun.

It is said that men are in their prime at 41. Liu Daneng is less than 40 years old. If he gets rid of his burdens, he may be able to make a career for himself.

In the office on the third floor, Cheng Hao saw Liu Daneng leaving through the window. He turned to Deputy Director Luo who was sitting at his desk and said, "Old Luo, Liu Daneng is gone. Your sister is still downstairs. Don't you want to go check on her?"

Let me ask, it’s not that Cheng Hao is meddling in other people’s business, but I hope that Deputy Director Luo can come forward and persuade Sister Luo to leave as soon as possible.

Sister Luo has been staying in the street office and has refused to leave, which is always an unstable factor.

"No need. Find someone to tell her that I am no longer in the neighborhood office and will be leaving soon."

Deputy Director Luo shook his head and spoke calmly.

Deputy Director Luo did not go down when Sister Luo and her husband were getting divorced just now, so it would be pointless for him to go down now.

Since you have decided to say goodbye to the past, break it off cleanly and don't leave any lingering connections.

"Okay, the notice from above will come down in two days, you should be prepared."

Cheng Hao felt a little reluctant to see Deputy Director Luo leaving.

It’s not that the two have a good relationship, but that they know each other well, so it’s easier for them to cooperate.

Moreover, Deputy Director Luo has little presence in the street office and will not affect Cheng Hao's authority and work.

If his superior replaces him with a strong deputy, Cheng Hao may not be so relaxed.

“Well, everything that needs to be packed has been packed.

Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble to the neighborhood office."

Deputy Director Luo was also reluctant to leave. It was not as comfortable to stay in other places as in the city.

If it weren’t for Sister Luo making such a big fuss, Deputy Director Luo wouldn’t have wanted to leave.

……

Two days later, the instructions from the superiors came down.

Looking at the words on the document, the two directors of Xining Sub-district Office were both stunned.

"You are not allowed."

Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes, weighed the document, and smiled at Deputy Director Luo: "Old Luo, it seems you have to work in the Street Office for a while."

Deputy Director Luo frowned, showing no joy on his face, and remained silent.

Official positions in the city were in great demand, and generally, if someone requested to resign, there was no reason for the higher-ups to deny the request.

After all, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it, and they are vying to do it.

This time when Deputy Director Luo wanted to quit, his superiors not only refused, but also sternly warned him to work hard and not give up at the critical moment, which was really abnormal.

"Director Cheng, what on earth is going on?"

Deputy Director Luo sighed helplessly and asked quietly.

“I can only say that it’s not the right time for you to resign.

This year, all large and small enterprises in our city are preparing for restructuring.

At this time, the superiors seek stability and do not want any changes at the grassroots level that would affect the reform.

You should stay and do your best."

Cheng Hao's political vision is broader than Deputy Director Luo's, and his sources of information are more extensive and accurate. He figured out the key to the problem after just a little thought.

If we change the deputy director and he doesn't get along with Cheng Hao, it will still have an impact on the work of the street office.

If superiors want stability, they naturally have to adopt a prudent strategy.

"But...but what should I do..."

Deputy Director Luo had a bitter look on his face and kept slamming the table and lamenting.

I thought I could leave the city and escape from Sister Luo's clutches, but my plan went completely wrong.

Moreover, Sister Luo has divorced Liu Daneng and has completely become a divorced and resentful woman. I am afraid that her harassment of Deputy Director Luo will become more frequent and fierce.

When Deputy Director Luo thought of Sister Luo coming to his house crying every day, he got a splitting headache and wanted to kill himself.

“I have an idea.

Anyway, the street office knows that you failed to resign.

As long as you don't say anything nonsense, your elder sister will think you have run away.

Then you can go to work early every day and sneak back after dark, and you won’t be caught.”

Cheng Hao quickly figured out a solution, but if Deputy Director Luo didn't want to be exposed, he had to suffer a little.

Normally, Deputy Director Luo would never stay in the office for a minute longer after getting off work, but now he has to get up early and go to bed late, which is a torture for him.

"alright."

Deputy Director Luo couldn't think of any other solution for the time being and could only agree dejectedly.

At worst, you can just take a nap in the office after get off work.

I sleep at home and I sleep in the office, but the bed is not as soft, which is not unacceptable.

……

After the divorce, Sister Luo and her daughter were kicked out of the house by Liu Daneng.

Apart from some clothes and belongings, Liu Daneng did not give the mother and daughter anything else.

After all, the house, furniture, and other items in the house were all earned by Liu Daneng with hard work. Why should they be divided between them?

These assets are the capital for Liu Daneng to remarry and continue the family bloodline. Giving half of the family savings is already the most he can do.

As for Liu Fei, this useless and worthless daughter, Liu Daneng had long wanted to kick her away.

As a grown-up, he has to find a way to support himself.

"Mom, what should we do next?"

Liu Fei followed her mother with her head down. She spent a lot on a daily basis and had long spent the little money she earned at the steel mill.

At this time, her father no longer provided support, and she might have starved to death if she had not followed her mother.

"Let's find a house to settle down first."

Sister Luo walked slowly on the street and spoke in a low voice.

The most urgent task right now is to find a place to stay first and then find a way to make a living.

The housing prices in Sijiu City have increased a lot compared to a few years ago, but the money Liu Daneng can allocate is enough for Sister Luo to buy a house in the city.

For this reason alone, Liu Daneng is not a cold-blooded, conscienceless bastard.

Even after years of oppression, Sister Luo and her daughter were still given a chance to survive.
