The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Ouyang Bao was very efficient. The next morning, he brought his brother along and went to Liu Dazhu's house.

The Ouyang family had ten brothers, and their numbers were overwhelming. When Liu Dazhu saw this, his legs trembled, and he had to ask his mother, who worked at the neighborhood office, to step in.

"Who are you people! What are you doing in my house?" Liu's mother shouted, mustering her courage.

Ouyang Bao said coldly, "We are Zhang Qiufang's relatives."

Liu's mother asked in confusion, "Doesn't Zhang Qiufang only have one younger brother?"

Ouyang Bao said, "We are all her cousins!"

Liu's mother asked, "What do you want to do?"

Ouyang Bao pointed at Liu Dazhu and said, "You dare to hit my cousin? You think you can bully us because we have no one to rely on!"

Liu Dazhu shuddered and immediately hid behind his mother.

Liu's mother, protecting her son, exclaimed, "It's common for couples to bicker and fight; why make such a fuss?"

Ouyang Bao sneered, "My cousin was beaten black and blue by your son. Is it just a couple's fight?"

"Alright, let your son come out and wrestle with us guys for a bit."

Liu's mother gasped for breath, then retorted defiantly, "Zhang Qiufang cheated on her husband, so what if my son hit her?"

Ouyang Bao said, "Do you have any evidence that my cousin cheated on me? When you catch a thief red-handed or in the act of adultery, even the police wouldn't dare to arrest someone without evidence."

Liu's mother was speechless for a moment. What evidence did they have?

Ouyang Bao gave his brothers a look, and then started smashing things in the Liu family's house.

"What are you doing? Is there no law anymore?" Liu's mother exclaimed in shock.

"I'm helping my cousin pack her things," Ouyang Bao said cheerfully.

"Are you packing your things or smashing the house?!"

When Liu's mother saw that her dining table had been overturned, she became furious: "If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."

Ouyang Baole said, "I'm here today to stand up for my sister. Go ahead and call the police if you want! As long as your son doesn't divorce my sister, we can come every day, and the police won't get involved in this kind of family matter."

Liu's mother worked at the neighborhood office, so she naturally knew that even if the police came, they would at most take Ouyang Bao and the others back for criticism and education, and wouldn't detain them for more than a few days.
When faced with such domestic disputes, the police often try to smooth things over or pass the buck to the neighborhood committee.

But once Ouyang Bao and his group leave the police station, the Liu family will never have peace again.

"Mom, what should we do?" Liu Dazhu tugged at his mother's sleeve, looking completely lost.

"Divorce, this marriage must be dissolved immediately," Liu's mother said with a gloomy face.

Ouyang Bao immediately told his brothers to stop.

Liu's mother said, "I'm willing to let my son divorce Zhang Qiufang, but the dowry he received must be returned."

Ouyang Bao scoffed, "You still want the bride price back! Did you think my sister was beaten for nothing? That little bit of bride price isn't even enough to cover her medical expenses."

Liu's mother retorted, "We gave five hundred yuan as a bride price back then."

Ouyang Bao said coldly, "Brothers, help your cousin pack her things again."

The Ouyang brothers all grinned maliciously and started smashing things again.

"Stop smashing! Stop smashing!" Liu Dazhu cried out in a panic, "We don't need the bride price, okay?!"

The Ouyang brothers immediately stopped what they were doing.

Ouyang Bao looked coldly at Liu Dazhu and said, "We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon to get a divorce, and we'll also have to sign a custody agreement."

Liu's mother's expression changed, and she said, "Divorce is fine, but the child cannot be given to Zhang Qiufang."

Liu Dazhu said timidly, "Mom, we don't even know if the child is mine. Let them have it."

After thinking for a moment, Liu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Fine!" Seeing that Liu's mother and son had finally agreed to the divorce, Ouyang Bao immediately led his brothers away from the Liu family home. Before leaving, he threatened Liu Dazhu:
"If you dare not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon, then we'll think you're here to freeload every day."

Liu Dazhu trembled all over, and his mother said angrily, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Ouyang Bao left with a smile, while Liu's mother looked at the mess in the house and said angrily, "Look at the kind of people you married."

Liu Dazhu said weakly, "Didn't you tell me to marry Zhang Qiufang back then?"

Liu's mother said angrily, "I originally thought that Zhang Qiufang was educated and could get into university, so she would definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future. Who would have thought that she had such a large group of hooligan cousins?"

Liu Dazhu asked, "Mom, is this divorce really happening?"

Liu's mother said coldly, "Divorce, we must divorce, otherwise our family will never have a peaceful life again."

Liu Dazhu was still unwilling to give up and said, "Why don't we call the police and arrest all those people?"

Liu's mother said irritably, "What's the use of arresting them? What if they're released to retaliate against us? There's no such thing as guarding against thieves every day."

Liu Dazhu said, "Then let's get a divorce! It'll just benefit Zhang Qiufang."

Liu's mother snorted coldly, "How can we just let this go? I'll go and have the neighborhood committee spread the word that Zhang Qiufang cheated on me."

Liu Dazhu said cautiously, "Zhang Qiufang's lover is very ruthless. She just stabbed me once before, and I couldn't speak for a long time."

Liu's mother said coldly, "I want to see how Zhang Qiufang can still be a doctor after her reputation is ruined!"

Liu Dazhu was still a little scared, but his mother had made up her mind and would never let Zhang Qiufang get away with it.

At 2 p.m., Liu Dazhu arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau as agreed, while Ouyang Bao and Zhang Qiufang had already arrived earlier.

Ouyang Bao took out a custody agreement and handed it to Liu Dazhu to sign.

Looking at the nine brothers behind Ouyang Bao, Liu Dazhu was so frightened that he could barely hold his pen. How could he not sign?

After completing the divorce procedures and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhang Qiufang finally felt completely relaxed.

Liu Dazhu was somewhat resentful, but Zhang Qiufang's side had more people and more influence, so Liu Dazhu didn't dare to say a word and hurriedly left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Back home, Liu Dazhu hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly when his father rushed home.

"Zhu Zi, quickly pack me some clothes, I need to go hide out of town for a while."

"Dad, why are you hiding?" Liu Dazhu asked in surprise.

"I don't know which damned bastard reported me to higher authorities for abusing my power for personal gain and embezzling public funds. I have to run before the disciplinary committee arrives," Liu's father said angrily.

"Oh no! Dad, are you alright?!" Liu Dazhu asked in a panic.

"Let's hide for a while. Do you have any money?" Liu's father sighed.

Liu's father was the deputy director of the factory. He had indeed done some disciplinary violations in the past, but they were not major problems. At most, he would be dismissed from the factory.

The reason he was hiding was because someone had reported him for having an affair with the factory's most beautiful girl.

Liu's father wasn't hiding from the police inspectors; he was hiding from his wife.

He hurriedly packed two pieces of clothing, took all the money from the house, and rushed to the train station, where the factory girl had already bought two train tickets and was waiting for him.

When Liu's mother received the news and rushed home, Liu had already boarded the train and was living happily ever after with the factory's beauty.

Unable to apprehend Liu's father, the factory turned its attention to Liu Dazhu and his mother. According to the investigation, Liu's father had used his power to embezzle 5,000 yuan of public funds before leaving, and the government was determined to recover this money.

The house the Liu family is currently living in was also allocated by the factory, so it will naturally be taken back.

Liu Dazhu was not only kicked out of his home, but the factory also dismissed him.

As for Liu's mother, she was also implicated. Not only did she lose her husband, but she also lost her job at the neighborhood office, becoming a laughing stock in the area.

The mother and son are currently preoccupied with their own problems and have no time to tarnish Wang Gang and Zhang Qiufang's reputations. (End of Chapter)
