Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Old Yan knows me best; this is just a rumor spread by someone."

Yan Bugui also kindly reminded Yi Zhonghai.

"Think about it carefully. Have you offended anyone recently? You must have offended someone secretly, and they're spreading rumors about you behind your back."

Yi Zhonghai was suffering inside. He knew perfectly well that it was Li Jianjun, but he couldn't say it.

That would expose the truth that he was the mastermind behind it all.

"Old Yan, you said I'm usually a kind person. I don't remember offending anyone."

"I don't know who this person is who's picking on me."

Liu Haizhong glanced at Yi Zhonghai and felt that Yi Zhonghai was lying.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with him; Liu Haizhong is just here to watch the show.

He prayed silently.

Jia Zhangshi, Sha Zhu, go ahead and make a scene, the bigger the better.

……

Sha Zhu pulled Jia Zhangshi along, preparing to go to the office to process their divorce.

Getting rid of Jia Zhangshi was like a new beginning for him.

This old woman is not only old and ugly, but she also causes trouble for herself all the time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to get a divorce would be the wisest choice.

In those days, there was no civil affairs bureau; people usually went to the local office to register their marriages.

These specialized offices are set up specifically for marriage and divorce.

When getting married, people only need to go to the neighborhood office to get a certificate, and then go to the office to collect the marriage certificate.

Marriage certificates in that era were even simpler, resembling award certificates from later times.

It lists the basic information of two people, including their address, marriage, date, and a large red stamp from the office.

If you want to get a divorce, you also need to get a certificate from the subdistrict office. Sha Zhu pulled Jia Zhangshi along and first went to the Hongqi Road Subdistrict Office.

When the people at the office saw the old woman and the young boy coming over, they assumed it was their mother bringing her son to get a divorce.

Because he was received by a new employee at the office who was unaware of Sha Zhu's family situation.

"Comrade He, if you're here to get a divorce, just bring your spouse. You don't need to bring your mother."

Chapter 172 Yi Zhonghai Acts as a Coward

The other person in the office burst out laughing.

The receptionist was utterly puzzled.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

When Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi got married, they obtained a certificate from the street office.

So everyone in the neighborhood office knew about He Yuzhu's marriage to Jia Zhangshi.

"Little Li, this woman isn't his mother, she's his girlfriend."

The new office worker, Xiao Li, was so shocked his jaw dropped.

The woman, who was almost sixty years old, actually married a young man in his early twenties.

This is truly an iron tree blooming; what a strange thing!

He's never seen anything so bizarre in his life.

Xiao Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Sha Zhu felt as if he had been greatly insulted.

"What's going on? We're here to get a certificate, not to be laughed at by you. Hurry up and get the certificate, I need to get a divorce from her urgently."

Jia Zhangshi wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

I'm facing this embarrassing situation again.

This was probably one of the few things in her life that she felt ashamed of.

"Alright, alright, Comrade He, please don't be angry. It's just that your situation is so rare."

As Xiao Li spoke, he wrote out a certificate for him by hand and then stamped it with a big red seal.

"Okay, the neighborhood office has processed this certificate for you. You can take it directly to the office to apply for a divorce certificate."

Sha Zhu got the letter of introduction. He grabbed Jia Zhangshi and headed straight for the office.

Upon arriving at the office, without saying a word, the staff there processed my divorce certificate.

Sha Zhu was only responsible for taking Jia Zhangshi to the street office and then to the sub-district office. After completing the divorce procedures, he simply pulled the cart and drove away.

When I returned to the courtyard house, I felt like my back was straight again.

Now that he's been released from the police station, it's not a big deal that he hasn't gone back to work yet.

As long as I cling to Yi Zhonghai, returning to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is only a matter of time.

As for whether Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's biological son, Sha Zhu doesn't care at all.

He should just get the benefits he deserves from Yi Zhonghai.

……

Li Jianjun, though at home, was well aware of the important matters concerning the courtyard.

He couldn't help but know, because Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi had made such a big fuss about it.

Although some people questioned whether Jia Zhangshi was being slandered, that is no longer important.

The important thing is that she has already gotten divorced.

Ma Sijiu and Li Weiguo frequently went to Li Jianjun's house to report on the progress of the situation.

"Section Chief Li, Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu have finally divorced."

This was exactly what Li Jianjun wanted. The original plan to have Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi sleep together and for Sha Zhu to marry Jia Zhangshi was intended to humiliate Sha Zhu.

Their goal was achieved; their divorce further humiliated Jia Zhangshi.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

If that old witch Jia Zhangshi had just behaved herself, Li Jianjun wouldn't have bothered to cause so much trouble.

Now they can only suffer the consequences of their own actions.

"Well done, Sijiu, Weiguo, you two go buy some groceries and some wine, let's have a good celebration at my house today."

Li Jianjun wanted to have a proper celebration.

Dealing with Jia Zhangshi was like venting my anger.

That old hag has bullied me a lot in the past; it's time for her to pay the price.

……

at the same time.

Jia Zhangshi walked back to the courtyard house from the street office.

Then she ran to Sha Zhu's house, only to find that the locks on the door had been changed. It was clear that Sha Zhu wanted to keep her out and sever ties with her.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi truly regretted her actions.

She thought and thought, wondering who she had offended recently.

With that sharp tongue of hers, she's offended more than just one or two people.

She couldn't figure out who was spreading rumors about her.

Now that Sha Zhu is ignoring her and they're divorced, she feels like she has nowhere to turn and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that her future will be difficult.

"Waaah, Pillar, open the door!"

“I was really wronged, really.”

Back then, when she married Sha Zhu, Yu Shui absolutely refused to agree.

Now that we finally see that Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi have divorced, Yu Shui feels an indescribable joy.

The brother and sister hid in the house and didn't make a sound.

“Brother, you did the right thing this time. That Jia Zhangshi went too far. I never imagined she did such despicable things before…”

"Brother, you're completely free now. Remember, never get involved with Jia Zhangshi again."

However, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing that Jia Zhangshi kept shouting outside.

The rainwater blasted open the door, unleashing a barrage of sarcastic remarks at Jia Zhangshi outside.

"You shameless old woman! My brother already said he doesn't want you anymore, and you're still standing outside the door."

"Do I have to chase you out with a broom before you'll leave?"

Rainwater still remembered the last time Jia Zhangshi bullied him, and he held a grudge against her.

Watching all this, Sha Zhu remained indifferent, showing no concern whatsoever for Jia Zhangshi outside.

Jia Zhangshi was still thinking about staying with Sha Zhu, so she didn't dare to offend Yu Shui.

Jia Zhangshi shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Zhu Zi, I am truly innocent. Someone is spreading rumors about me."

Madam Jia was reluctant to divorce him; such a young husband was hard to find even with a lantern.

How will she live after the divorce?

Unfortunately, no matter how much she cried and screamed, the people inside completely ignored her.

Despairing, Jia Zhangshi rushed to the Jia family's door again.

Qin Huairu stood guard at the door, refusing to let Jia Zhangshi in.
