Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 8 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate

"Hey……?"

Yan Bugui was completely bewildered. He hadn't even started yet, so why was this Comrade Shen acting out of the ordinary?

Shen Zhishou left with a carefree air, completely ignoring Yan Bugui who wanted to talk to him. After all, he had already poached Yan Jiecheng's man, so his relationship with the Yan family was destined to remain distant.

Upon entering the courtyard, Shen Zhishou immediately spotted the figure standing in front of the water tap.

Qin Huairu!

Got it!

This laundry lady from the story is already in place so early in the morning.

However, Shen Zhishou did not greet Qin Huairu, but went straight to the side room where Yu Li was staying and knocked on the door.

Yu Li got up very early, or rather, she didn't sleep at all last night.

Yesterday, she felt like she had experienced a thrill she would never have experienced in her entire life.

They got married and had a wedding banquet, and then they got divorced!

Most importantly, during this process, she unwittingly made a lifelong commitment with another man.

Upon opening the door and seeing Shen Zhishou, Yu Li's delicate face instantly flushed red.

"You, what brings you here?"

Here, breakfast!

Shen Zhishou handed the steamed buns to Yu Li, "I'm going to buy furniture later. Do you need my help with your divorce from Yan Jiecheng?"

"No, no need!"

Yu Li quickly waved her hand and shook her head.

How could I possibly ask Shen Zhishou for help with something like this?

Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "Then I'll go take care of my business!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

"I can handle it!"

Yu Li nodded vigorously, as if she were encouraging herself.

Shen Zhishou nodded slightly, then turned and left.

The two were not speaking loudly, and Qin Huairu didn't hear anything. However, when she saw Yu Li and Shen Zhishou talking at the door, Qin Huairu couldn't help but take a few more glances.

As Shen Zhishou turned to leave, his gaze met Qin Huairu's.

Qin Huairu noticed Shen Zhishou's gaze, quickly lowered her head, and continued to rub the clothes in her hands.

"Sister-in-law, are you doing laundry so early in the morning?"

This time, Shen Zhishou spoke to Qin Huairu.

"Ah, yes..."

Qin Huairu responded, her expression somewhat unnatural.

"You're busy!"

Shen Zhishou didn't say much to Qin Huairu, after all, her mother-in-law was quite possessive of her food.

After leaving the central courtyard, Shen Zhishou went straight out of the courtyard house.

He first went to the consignment shop, where they did have consignment used furniture, which wasn't very expensive, but it wasn't made of any precious wood.

Shen Zhishou didn't think he could just pick up a bargain easily.

There will never be a shortage of smart people, no matter the time.

Those antique furniture pieces made of precious wood, even if they were to be sold, wouldn't be piled up like mountains in a place like this; they would probably be snapped up by someone else very quickly.

For less than twenty yuan, Shen Zhishou bought all the furniture he needed.

Bed, table, chair, cabinet... everything you need is there.

Although it would only cost a few dollars to have someone deliver it to the courtyard, Shen Zhishou carried it back all by himself; his superhuman strength was no joke.

When Shen Zhishou returned to the courtyard house, put the furniture down at the door, and carried it into the room one by one, he saw Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng walking back one after the other.

The two really did get divorced!

Everyone received a divorce certificate, a very simple piece of paper stamped with an official seal.

Yu Li's face was full of excitement when she saw Shen Zhishou.

Yan Jiecheng, on the other hand, was dejected and looked extremely dejected.

Yan Jiecheng returned home dejectedly, while Yu Li stood guard at the door of the back room, intently watching Shen Zhishou. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that she couldn't.

After Shen Zhishou finished moving the furniture, he invited Yu Li into the house.

"Look, is this arrangement appropriate?"

These two rooms are located in the back row, and the space is not small.

After all, in the past, the back room was either used for servants to live in or set up as a reception room.

The courtyard house at No. 95 is not a small, humble dwelling; it must have belonged to a wealthy family in the past, as the rear building is quite spacious.

Of course, the living experience of a house with a reverse-facing roof is still somewhat lacking.

Upon hearing Shen Zhishou's words, Yu Li immediately observed the arrangement of the furniture in the room and then made a small adjustment.

"In a few days, I'll have someone build a kang (heated brick bed), otherwise, it's too cold in this room in the middle of winter!"

Shen Zhishou doesn't really like sleeping in a bed, but given the limited resources available, he has no choice but to make do for now.

In fact, if you want to live more comfortably, you not only need a kang (heated brick bed), but also a stove; otherwise, cooking will be inconvenient.

If you want to install a stove, you need to partition off the back room; otherwise, the cooking fumes will be a big problem.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhishou had to face an important reality: he had no money.

Indeed, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it.

"We still need to think of a way to make money!"

But in this day and age, there really aren't many legitimate ways to make money.

Do business?

Sorry, that's called speculation and profiteering!

If he suddenly acquires a large sum of money, he can expect to be reported as soon as the slightest hint of it gets out.

Or, could you lend me some money?

Shen Zhishou immediately thought of the two wealthy people in the courtyard.

The richest one is naturally Lou Xiao'e. This sister's family is quite remarkable; her father is the famous Lou Bancheng.

As for the second place, it's Yi Zhonghai.

As the head steward of the courtyard house and a senior fitter at the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai has no children and certainly has a lot of money.

But asking them for money isn't so easy.

Especially Yi Zhonghai!

Once you borrow money from him, you might find yourself entangled with him.

Therefore, if you really need to borrow money, Lou Xiao'e is the best choice.

But the problem is that this matter cannot be avoided by mentioning Xu Damao.

However, the most urgent matter is not these, but Yu Li.

She and Yan Jiecheng have divorced, and she is temporarily staying at He Yushui's house. That is, He Yushui is still at school, but she may come back at any time.

"Honey, shall we go get our marriage certificate this afternoon?"

Shen Zhishou suddenly reached out and pulled Yu Li into his arms, hugging her and smiling as he spoke.

"You can't keep staying in someone else's house. What will you do if they come back?"

Yu Li was very tempted by what Shen Zhishou said, but she also felt that it might be inappropriate to get married so soon after her divorce.

"This isn't your fault!"

Shen Zhishou kissed Yu Li, his hands roaming freely over her body. "Listen to me, let's get our marriage certificate as soon as possible, so some people can give up on us!"

"Okay, fine!"

Yu Li could only nod in the end.

The two quickly went out, first to the grain station, where Shen Zhishou easily obtained the marriage introduction letter, and then went with Yu Li to complete the marriage procedures.

There were many people going through the marriage registration process.

The clerk mechanically reviewed the documents, filled in the information, and stamped them.

Yu Li was worried that people would recognize her as having gone through the marriage registration process the day before, but that had never happened.

When the two reappeared on the street, they were already a legally married couple.

"Wife, let's go home and sleep!"
