Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Standing at the door, He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, I went to Baozhou with Yushui today and met my dad."

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood why He Yuzhu had come to him.

Yi Zhonghai actually doesn't care about that little bit of money!

He had only kept the money because he wanted to do a favor for He Yuzhu and his sister back then, and he didn't want He Yuzhu to remember his kindness.

He would have almost forgotten about this if He Yuzhu hadn't contacted him today.

Looking at He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Zhuzi, I, your old man, have never thought of taking your and Yushui's money! All these years, I've been saving that money for you!"

"Back then, I didn't tell you because you and Yushui were still young and resented your father. But all these years, I've kept the money and letters for you. Here you go now."

He Yuzhu remained silent in response to Yi Zhonghai's remarks.

If He Yuzhu had said this before he got married, he definitely would have believed it.

But now, he doesn't believe it!

However, he had complicated feelings for Yi Zhonghai and was conflicted, so he did not choose to directly break with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai went into the house, took a box from the inner room, and came out.

Looking at the box in Yi Zhonghai's hand, a look of worry flashed across the middle-aged woman's face.

She knew what was in the box.

They also understood that from today onwards, He Yuzhu's relationship with their family was completely over!

Once outside, Yi Zhonghai handed the box to He Yuzhu: "Count them."

He Yuzhu took the box and glanced at it.

There was a stack of ten-yuan notes at the bottom of the box, and a pile of letters on top.

He Yuzhu didn't count, and directly said to Yi Zhonghai, "The items are correct! Uncle, I'm going back now."

After saying that, He Yuzhu turned and left.

Looking at He Yuzhu's retreating figure, Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth.

But not knowing what to say, he could only sigh helplessly.

Yi Zhonghai understood that his long-cultivated backup plan for retirement was gone from today onwards!

However, after entering the house and seeing the well-behaved Bang Geng, Yi Zhonghai's mood improved considerably.

At least I still have a godson!

As Yi Zhonghai sat down, an older woman asked, "Did you give the money and letter to Zhu Zi?"

"Yes!" Yi Zhonghai nodded.

An older woman sighed and said, "Zhuzi is a kind-hearted boy. You shouldn't have done that in the first place! But it's also my fault for not being firm enough and not stopping you."

"It's too late to say anything now, let's just leave it at that!" Yi Zhonghai picked up a piece of meat and put it into Bang Geng's bowl.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shan was chatting with people in a chat group at home when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Xiao Shan came out of the bedroom and asked as he walked towards the door.

Lou Xiao'e's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Shan, it's me, Lou Xiao'e!"

Xiao Shan was taken aback: What was Lou Xiao'e doing here at this time?

Opening the door, Xiao Shan looked at Lou Xiao'e standing outside and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, is there something you need?"

"Your brother Mao went out yesterday morning and hasn't come back yet!" Lou Xiao'e said to Xiao Shan. "I came to see if he's drinking here!"

Xiao Shan shook his head: "No, sister-in-law, Brother Mao didn't drink here today!"

"Hmm! I wonder where he's gone!" Lou Xiao'e said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shan said, "Is it possible that Brother Mao is drunk and can't find his way home? Sister-in-law, how about we go look for him around the yard?"

"Xiaoshan, then I'll have to trouble you!" Lou Xiao'e nodded.

Xiao Shan closed the door and, together with Lou Xiao'e, prepared to go look for Xu Damao in the vicinity.

They had just stepped out of the front yard when they ran into Liu Guangtian, who was returning from outside.

"Xiaoshan, sister-in-law, where are you two going?" Liu Guangtian asked curiously, looking at Xiaoshan and Lou Xiao'e.

Xiao Shan explained, "Brother Mao hasn't come home since yesterday morning. His wife was worried about him, so she asked me to go look for him in the neighborhood. She was afraid he might be drunk and passed out in some corner!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Mao-ge isn't drunk!" After hearing Xiao Shan's explanation, Liu Guangtian said to Lou Xiao'e, "When I came back just now, I saw Mao-ge at that hot pot restaurant at the intersection!"

Lou Xiao'e frowned: "A hot pot restaurant? Is Da Mao the only one here all day?"

"Anyway, I only saw Brother Mao!" Liu Guangtian said after thinking for a moment.

Lou Xiao'e nodded to Liu Guangtian: "Guangtian, thank you!"

After saying that, he headed straight for the hot pot restaurant at the intersection.

Xiao Shan then said to Liu Guangtian, "Come on, Guangtian, let's go take a look! If Brother Mao is drunk, we can help your wife get him back!"

Liu Guangtian always followed Xiao Shan's lead, so he naturally had no objection to what Xiao Shan said.

In the hot pot restaurant, Xu Damao ordered a table full of dishes and was enjoying his meal with Qin Jingru.

“Brother Da Mao, my family has started introducing me to potential partners! If you keep dragging this out, I’m going to look for someone else.” Qin Jingru said to Xu Da Mao.

After taking a bite of meat, Xu Damao said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, don't rush, everything takes time! Give me three more months, and I'll get things sorted out. How about it? This restaurant is pretty good, isn't it!"

"Okay, Brother Da Mao, three months, you can't lie to me!" Qin Jingru thought for a moment, "Since I met Brother Da Mao, I've tried so many things I'd never eaten before. Brother Da Mao, after we get married, I'll definitely treat you well and give you a big, healthy son."

Just then, Lou Xiao'e walked into the hot pot restaurant.

With a quick glance, Lou Xiao'e spotted Xu Damao eating.

Just as Lou Xiao'e was walking towards Xu Damao, Xu Damao said, "Okay, we must surpass He Yuzhu and have two children in three years! Lou Xiao'e is a barren hen. Give me a few months, and I'll find a way to dump her. Then we can get married right away."

Lou Xiao'e's face darkened upon hearing Xu Damao's words.

Lou Xiao'e, in a fit of temper, didn't care that this was a restaurant with many people and lots of gossip.

He walked straight up to Xu Damao and slapped him across the face.

Seeing Xu Damao being beaten, Qin Jingru immediately objected: "Who are you? Why are you hitting people for no reason!"

Lou Xiao'e was furious at the moment, and slapped Qin Jingru across the face: "You vixen, you have no right to speak here!"

Then, looking at Xu Damao, she said, "Xu Damao, you bastard who sleeps around with other women, you think you can just dump me? I'm divorcing you today!"

Lou Xiao'e wasn't satisfied with just one slap, so she unleashed a flurry of Nine Yin White Bone Claws at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to appear here, so his mind didn't immediately catch on.

It wasn't until Lou Xiao'e scratched his face that he realized what had happened.

He slapped Lou Xiao'e across the face with his backhand: "You bitch, are you crazy?"

Snapped!

Lou Xiao'e received a solid slap on the face.

Lou Xiao'e covered half her face and looked at Xu Damao, saying, "Xu Damao, how dare you hit me?"

"You bitch, you asked for it!" Xu Damao said viciously, looking at the diners around him with a hint of embarrassment.

At this moment, Xiao Shan and Liu Guangtian also entered the hot pot restaurant.

Seeing the three of them, Lou Xiao'e and her companions, facing off, Xiao Shan roughly understood what was going on!

Xiao Shan strode up to the three of them and said to Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao, "Brother Mao, sister-in-law, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go back to the courtyard first!"

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao looked at the diners watching the commotion around them, not wanting to become the laughingstock of others, so they both gritted their teeth and nodded.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao walking ahead, Xiao Shan said to Qin Jingru, who was frightened, "Qin Jingru, why don't you come back to the courtyard with us?"

After saying that, Xiao Shan told Liu Guangtian to take Qin Jingru and follow behind Lou Xiao'e and the others, while he went to pay the bill for Xu Damao.

Disappointed that there was no more excitement to be seen, the diners at the hot pot restaurant could only return to their seats and continue eating their hot pot.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e immediately went to find the three old men and asked them to stand up for her!

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's story, the three old men immediately convened a meeting with everyone in the courtyard.

When Xiao Shan returned to the courtyard, the people in the courtyard had already gathered in the middle courtyard.

"Xiaoshan, over here!" Liu Guangtian waved to Xiaoshan as he returned.

Liu Guangtian knew that Xiao Shan was settling the bill for Xu Damao, so he specially brought a stool for Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan walked over to Liu Guangtian and plopped down on the stool.

At the same time, Qin Huairu finally understood the situation from Qin Jingru.

Knowing the situation, Qin Huairu raised her hand and slapped Qin Jingru, who was standing next to her, across the face: "Jingru, are you crazy? Xu Damao is already married, how dare you still have contact with him?"

"Sister, I just had a meal with him, nothing else happened!" Qin Jingru said, somewhat unconvinced.

Qin Huairu suppressed her anger: "What else do you want to happen? You, a young virgin, going out for hot pot with a married man late at night, isn't that enough?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's scolding, Qin Jingru burst into tears, remaining silent and staring at Xu Damao.

Liu Haizhong glanced at everyone present and tapped the table with his teacup: "Everyone's almost here, let's start the meeting!"

"Why did we have to call everyone here for a meeting so late tonight? It's because a huge scandal has happened in our department!"

"I can't even bring myself to say this, let Lou Xiao'e say it herself!"

Lou Xiao'e didn't stand on ceremony. She stood up and pointed at Xu Damao, who was sitting not far away with his face scratched, saying, "Xu Damao is having an affair. I'm going to divorce him!"

In the past two years, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao have been arguing more and more frequently.

The main reason for the argument was that the two of them hadn't had children all these years.

Not only Xu Damao, but also Xu Damao's parents attributed the problem to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e felt very wronged!

However, due to her family situation, Lou Xiao'e endured it all and never considered divorce.

However, Xu Damao's words at the hot pot restaurant today completely ignited her dissatisfaction with him over the years!

Therefore, Lou Xiao'e made up her mind that she had to divorce Xu Damao; she could no longer endure such humiliation!

Chapter 187, Xu Damao's Control over Yi Zhonghai! (Please Subscribe!)

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao naturally wouldn't back down: "Divorce is divorce then! Do you think I'd even look at you? You're a barren hen, whoever marries you is doomed!"

"Xu Damao, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lou Xiao'e was about to rush over and fight Xu Damao when she was stopped by Li Caijuan and He Yushui.

After all, if a fight were to break out, Lou Xiao'e would be more likely to suffer a loss.

He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to strike at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao is cheating on his wife and still acting arrogantly. He should be sent to the security department and fired by the steel mill!"

"Then make him parade through the streets with a sign hanging on him, so he'll remember it."

As soon as He Yuzhu spoke, others in the courtyard chimed in: "Zhuzi is right. He's been having an affair and he's still unrepentant. He should be paraded through the streets!"

In this day and age, people still generally approve of extramarital affairs!

Because Xu Damao was involved with Qin Jingru this time, the people present naturally wouldn't let Qin Jingru off the hook.

So someone suggested, "And Qin Jingru, she needs to be taught a lesson too! Let the township leaders come and take her away, parade her through the streets of the township, and let her know that being a slut is something to be despised!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru's face immediately changed, and she hugged Qin Huairu beside her, crying loudly, "Sister, I don't want to be paraded through the streets, I don't want the villagers to know! Sister, please save me!"

"Now you're scared? Where were you before?" Qin Huairu said with exasperation, "Gentlemen, this is a disgrace to our courtyard. If it gets reported, not only will we lose our award for advanced work this year, but people will talk about it for years to come, and we'll lose face!"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

Qin Huairu is right. If Xu Damao's matter gets out, they, who live in the same courtyard, will lose face in public!

After all, collective honor is highly valued these days!

Yan Bugui slowly said, "Qin Huairu has a point. It's best not to make this a big deal!"
