Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 526 Can He Be So Kind?

Forget it, destroy it!

Not long after, Yan Jiecheng saw Yan Bugui carefully put the hundred yuan into his pocket, and a look of despair appeared on his face.

Originally, he wanted to secretly run to an underground gambling house to play a few games to see if he could turn things around, but now after what Yan Bugui did, he has completely lost the capital to turn things around.

From now on, what awaits him is only a boring life of working like a slave and making money to pay off debts.

This means that he has no hope in this life.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. He even thought about buying some rat poison and killing himself with it.

Unfortunately, he did not have the courage and was soon taken to a steel rolling mill by Yan Bugui to work.

At the same time, on the other side, after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Yu Li returned to Xiangmi Zhai immediately, and then found Li Guoqiang who was playing with the child, and slapped the divorce certificate in front of Li Guoqiang.

"Wow! It's done so quickly?"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he saw this, and then he joked in a mischievous way.

"How long do you think it will take?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes and spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

After she finished speaking, she saw that Li Guoqiang did not respond, so she quickly continued, "Well, can you help me move my luggage back later?"

"Okay! Go tell Zhaodi and Meiling first, and then pack your luggage."

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then nodded and began to give instructions.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them right away!"

When Yu Li heard this, she immediately ran out in a hurry to find Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, thinking of moving her luggage back as soon as possible so that she could get pregnant earlier.

Not long after, before Li ran back, Yao Meilan rushed in, grabbed Li Guoqiang by the ear, and angrily scolded him: "What kind of thing did you do? As the saying goes, it is better to destroy a temple than to break a marriage. How did you get involved with someone else's daughter-in-law? Aren't you deliberately asking people to scold you?"

"Mom, Mom, please listen to me and let me explain!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Yao Meilan's look, he quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Humph! Let me see what reason you can come up with."

Yao Meilan snorted coldly, then let go of her hand and stood aside, staring at Li Guoqiang with an unswerving look on her face.

After all, this kind of thing is really too bad. Once it gets out, won’t people stab their family in the back?
More importantly, their family and the Yan family have been neighbors for more than ten or twenty years. They see each other every day. If they really become enemies, how can they live in peace in the future?

"Mom, it's not my fault. It's mainly because Yan Jiecheng lost too much money playing with other people outside, which made Yu Li unable to bear it and filed for divorce."

When Li Guoqiang saw Yao Meilan let go of his hand, he hurriedly reached out and rubbed his ears, then explained with an innocent look on his face.

"Then you dare to say that you and her have not mixed up?"

Yao Meilan's face darkened, and then she asked angrily.

"I admit that I did have a relationship with her, but it was all her own will."

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said calmly: "Besides, do you think that without this incident, our family would be a good family in the eyes of the old Yan family and those neighbors?
Let alone anything else, just this Xiangmi Zhai, and Qiaoyan, Xiuzhen and others are enough to make people jealous.

What's more, there are your older grandchildren!
As the saying goes, too many lice don't itch, and too many debts don't worry.

Instead of wasting time and effort trying to please them, it is better to do your own thing! "

After hearing these words, Yao Meilan suddenly became silent.

In fact, she also knew that given their family's current situation, no matter what they did, they could not avoid being envied by others.

However, I am afraid that someone is doing bad things behind my back and causing unnecessary trouble.

Besides, a tree lives by its bark, and a person lives by his reputation. If people really spread the word that their family stole someone else's wife, then their family's reputation would be bad.

Thinking of this, Yao Meilan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Guoqiang's indifferent expression, she couldn't help swallowing the words back.

Because she knew that she could no longer control Li Guoqiang. If she really interfered in Li Guoqiang's affairs forcibly, it would only make Li Guoqiang angry, and then make the whole family uneasy.

What's more, as Li Guoqiang said just now, too many lice don't itch, and too many debts don't worry.

Anyway, they already have six concubines in the family, so they don’t mind having one more.

"Mom, I think you don't have to worry. I know what's going on. Nothing will happen!"

Seeing that Yao Meilan had remained silent, Li Guoqiang quickly stood up and made a serious promise.

"That's better!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan looked at Li Guoqiang deeply, and then showed a very helpless look.

Sometimes, it is not a good thing if the children at home are too capable. As parents, there is nothing they can do except worrying about them.

Soon, she turned around and walked out, intending to ask Luo Huijuan if she knew about this matter, and by the way, ask Luo Huijuan to pay more attention to Li Guoqiang in the future to prevent him from becoming more and more ridiculous.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Li ran back with Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang didn't say anything and directly handed the child to Chu Meiling. Then he took Wu Zhaodi and rode a tricycle to send Yu Li back to the courtyard.

At this point, he had basically completed everything he wanted to do when he came back to the city.

The only thing that is uncertain is when Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun's wives will give birth.

If possible, he certainly doesn't want to favor one over the other.

So, he pondered for a moment and decided to stay for another two days.

At that time, if he really couldn't make it in time, he could only take Xu Guangshou and Yang Guoxiu and their spouses back to Jinshanbao, and let Sun Jinda and Ma Hongjun take their wives to the hospital to give birth.

Soon, it was evening in the blink of an eye.

As usual, Yao Meilan first returned to the courtyard from Xiangmi Zhai, and then quietly asked the people in the courtyard, wanting to know what everyone in the courtyard thought about the divorce of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li.

As a result, she asked around and finally found out that no one realized that Li Guoqiang was involved, and most people supported Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng's divorce.

This made her feel relieved, but she couldn't help but feel pity for Yan Jiecheng.

His wife had clearly been taken away by someone, and he couldn't find a place to seek justice.

The most crucial thing is that Yan Jiecheng lost money while gambling outside.

That’s why they say you should never gamble no matter how poor you are!
"Wife, what do people in the hospital say about Xie Cheng's divorce from Yu Li?"

Not long after, Yan Bugui brought Yan Jiecheng back to the courtyard and immediately pulled the third aunt aside to question her.

When the third aunt heard this, she frowned and sighed, "What else can I say? You know they are all people who like to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Everyone is laughing at what they heard. Some even said behind her back that Yu Li and our Jie Chengli got along well. What kind of people are they?
If I knew who was gossiping behind my back, I would tear her mouth to pieces." After she finished speaking, a murderous look appeared on her face, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

When Yan Bugui heard that someone was taking advantage of someone's misfortune, he looked calm, as if he had already expected it.

After all, no one would sympathize with a gambler like Yan Jiecheng.

Now, the only thing the Yan family can do is to insist that Yan Jiecheng agreed to the divorce because he did not want to drag down Yu Li, in order to restore some of their reputation.

Just as he was about to explain the matter, the third aunt suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "By the way, Yu Li moved back this morning."

"Moved back? Where?"

Yan Bugui was slightly stunned when he heard this, then asked hurriedly.

"Humph! Where else could she move to? She moved to the backyard to live with Zhaodi and Meiling!"

The third aunt snorted lightly, then spoke with some dissatisfaction.

Nowadays, basically everyone in the hospital can see that Wu Zhaodi, Chu Meiling and others have a special relationship with Li Guoqiang. However, because Luo Huijuan said that Wu Zhaodi, Chu Meiling and others are her good sisters, and Li Guoqiang has high-ranking officials such as Song Guochang and Chen Wen'an standing behind him, no one dares to say anything.

And if Yu Li moves in with Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling, doesn't that mean she is also Li Guoqiang's woman?
In this case, how will people view the Yan family?

"This"

When the third uncle heard this, he immediately caught some flax.

Originally, he was only 60 to 70 percent sure that Yu Li was with Li Guoqiang, but he never imagined that Li Guoqiang would actually bring Yu Li back to the courtyard house and live with her openly with Wu Zhaodi and Chu Meiling.

This is too bullying!

Soon, he was filled with rage and wanted to settle the score with Li Guoqiang right away.

However, when he thought of Li Guoqiang's powerful strength and backing, he immediately felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, forcing him to calm down.

More importantly, he didn't have any evidence in his hands. If he really went to cause trouble for Li Guoqiang, not only would he be unable to do anything to the other party, but he would also most likely be bitten back by the other party and accuse him of slander.

Then, let Song Guochang or Chen Wen'an send someone to arrest him, and the rest of his life would be over.

Thinking of this, his heart sank, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, why are you so angry? We are not moving to Lao Li's house, how can it bother us?"

"you"

The third aunt's eyes widened, and then she said in disbelief: "Didn't you say before that Yu Li was with Qiangzi? Why are you changing your words now?"

"Look what you said!"

Yan Bugui blushed, and then he said in a somewhat embarrassed way, "I just said it casually before, it's not certain whether it's true or not!

Moreover, think about it! Yu Li is much older than Qiangzi, and she is also a second marriage. Whether others will be interested in her is another question!
In my opinion, Qiangzi asked Yu Li to move back home because he wanted to keep Yu Li for our family and remarry Jie Cheng in the future!"

"Can he be so kind?"

The third aunt frowned and asked suspiciously.

In her impression, Li Guoqiang is a guy who always seeks revenge.

Considering the relationship between their family and Li Guoqiang, they are lucky that he doesn't come to retaliate against them. How could he take the initiative to help them keep their daughter-in-law?

"oops!"

Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Yan Bugui could only speak forcefully, "Anyway, you listen to me on this matter. Go to the backyard more often to see Yu Li and persuade her more.

If I continue to persuade her like this, maybe one day she will come to her senses and come back to remarry Jie Cheng."

"That's okay!"

After hearing what Yan Bugui had said, the third aunt did not dare to question it anymore. She could only nod reluctantly and agree.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng also learned the news that Yu Li moved back to the courtyard, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

For him, Yu Li's doing this was undoubtedly whipping the corpse, and she was whipping the corpse all the time.

Unless he could move out of the courtyard house or drive Yu Li away, he would have to face the strange looks from his neighbors every day.

Even if that doesn't make him suffocate to death, it will make him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just when he finally mustered up the courage and was about to go to Li Guoqiang to ask for an explanation, he suddenly saw Yan Bugui push open the door and walk in.

"Jie Cheng, did you know that Yu Li moved back to our courtyard?"

"Ok!"

"Then when you have time in the future, go to the backyard and talk to her more often. Maybe after a while, she will remarry you!"

Yan Bugui looked at the aggrieved look on Yan Jiecheng's face and hurriedly spoke up to persuade him.

"Is this okay?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked with some doubt.

After all, he had gone to Yu Li to beg for mercy many times before, but in the end, Yu Li still ruthlessly abandoned him.

Unless he can pay off all those debts, it will be hard for him to have any confidence.

"Of course!"

Yan Bugui met Yan Jiecheng's suspicious gaze, straightened his face, nodded seriously and said, "Otherwise, why do you think she moved back?"

"You mean she moved back because she couldn't leave me?"

Yan Jiecheng was slightly stunned, then asked in disbelief.

"Yup!"

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng had been fooled, Yan Bugui nodded vigorously and said, "As the saying goes, a husband and wife once married are bound by a hundred days of grace. You have been married for so many years, how can you just let it go?

If you ask me, what you should do most now is to work hard and make money, so that she can see that you have really changed.

Then, if you say something from your heart to her, she will surely forgive you."

"Great!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he suddenly felt happy and an expectant smile appeared on his face.

Little did he know that all this was a delaying tactic by Yan Bugui in order to allow him to work hard and earn money in the future.

I have to say, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!
