"Oh my?! Zhu Zi, where did you two siblings come from?!" He Yuzhu and He Yushui had just arrived at the entrance of No. 95 courtyard when Yan Bugui, who was on vacation at home, came up to He Yuzhu and asked with a smile.

He Yuzhu replied, "Teacher Yan, where else could we have come from?! From the Military Control Commission. I'm working in the Military Control Commission's canteen now."

Yan Bugui was taken aback and said, "Didn't you work at the machine tool factory? How come you've switched to the Military Control Commission?!"

He Yuzhu said, "That place is too far away, and it's inconvenient to take care of the rain. So I swapped with someone else."

Yan Bugui asked, "Zhuzi, how much do you get paid each month?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "20 yuan."

"Twenty yuan?!" Yan Bugui muttered, then said, "Zhuzi, the wages at the machine tool factory are much higher than those at the Military Control Commission. Don't you feel like you're losing out by trading such a good job for someone else?!"

He Yuzhu said, "As the old saying goes, suffering a loss is a blessing. You can suffer the loss of changing jobs. But you can't suffer other losses." After saying that, He Yuzhu took He Yushui home.

Meanwhile, the deaf old woman was brought back into the interrogation room.

After the deaf old woman sat down, she saw the interrogator sitting opposite her and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "You're not dead?!"

Sitting in the interrogator's seats, Liu Kehao, Yu Jing, and Xie Bin all frowned simultaneously upon hearing the deaf old woman's words. Liu Kehao asked, "You know me?!"

The deaf old woman then realized she had acted inappropriately and hurriedly denied it, saying, "I don't know you."

Liu Kehao stared at the deaf old lady for a while, then shook his head with a smile and said, "No! You must know me!" Suddenly a blurry figure appeared in Liu Kehao's mind, and then he thought of the "Miss Yunzi" mentioned in the first letter of complaint, and the words "Nanzo Yunzi" popped out of his mouth unconsciously.

When the deaf old woman heard the name "Nanzo Yunzi," a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Although she hid it well, even that fleeting change didn't escape the eyes of the three interrogators. Liu Kehao said, "I really didn't expect this?! You're still alive."

The deaf old woman said, "I don't know what you're talking about!!"

Knowing that he could not continue the interrogation today, Liu Kehao decisively stopped the interrogation and ordered someone to take the deaf old lady out.

After the deaf elderly woman was led out of the interrogation room, Yu Jing couldn't help but ask, "Old Liu, what's going on?!"

Liu Kehao said, "It seems we've caught a big fish this time."

"A big fish?!" Yu Jing and Xie Bin exchanged a glance. Liu Kehao nodded heavily and said, "Now we just wait for news from the Northeast." Because Liu Kehao had a vague feeling that there would be a big surprise from the Northeast.

Time quickly passed to two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhao Shufen dragged her tired body back. Yang Ruihua, who was guarding the gate in place of Yan Bugui, saw Zhao Shufen and asked, "Old Yi's wife, what's wrong?!"

Zhao Shufen gave a miserable smile and suddenly asked, "Old Yan's family, am I really stupid?!" Seeing that Yang Ruihua did not answer, Zhao Shufen continued, "Old Yan's family, I have been burdened with the stigma of being unable to have children for almost twenty years!" As she spoke, Zhao Shufen took out the diagnosis report from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and handed it to Yang Ruihua.

Yang Ruihua took the diagnostic report and read it carefully. She asked in surprise, "Old Yi's wife, you can have children?!"

Hearing the commotion, Aunt Pang ran over and asked, "Old Yan's family, what's wrong?!"

Yang Ruihua said, "Old Yi's wife went to the hospital for a checkup. She's healthy. She can have children!"

The other neighbors nearby, upon hearing Yang Ruihua's words, all showed expressions of surprise. Hu Dazui from the next courtyard, who was watching the commotion, exclaimed, "So, Yi Zhonghai is that rooster that crows but never lays eggs?!"

The plump aunt asked, "Old Yi's family, what are you thinking?!"

Zhao Shufen said, "He has lied to me for so many years. I don't want to continue living with him anymore. I want a divorce!" After saying that, Zhao Shufen took back the diagnosis report from Yang Ruihua's hand and turned to walk towards the Military Control Commission.

Watching Zhao Shufen's retreating figure, Yang Ruihua said, "She was also a person with a tragic fate."

Soon, Zhao Shufen arrived at the Military Control Commission. She found Wu Jiangyong and went straight to the point: "Director Wu, please help me. I want a divorce from Yi Zhonghai."

Wu Jiangyong assumed Zhao Shufen had come to discuss the deaf old woman. However, he hadn't expected her to come to divorce Yi Zhonghai. Wu Jiangyong asked, puzzled, "You really don't plan to continue living with Yi Zhonghai?!"

As if she had made a momentous decision, Zhao Shufen nodded heavily and said, "I've thought it through! I don't plan to continue living with him. He's deceived me for almost twenty years." With that, Zhao Shufen took out a hospital diagnosis report and handed it to Wu Jiangyong, saying, "I've always felt guilty for not being able to bear children for Yi Zhonghai. So I've always been tolerant. But I never expected that I could actually give birth. Yi Zhonghai has so easily deprived me of the right to be a mother. He's too hypocritical; I don't want to continue living with him."

Wu Jiangyong thought for a moment and said, "Since you've already made up your mind to divorce him, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Do you have any requirements for the divorce?"

Zhao Shufen asked, "Director Wu, how long will Yi Zhonghai likely be detained this time?"

Wu Jiangyong replied, "That's hard to say. But judging from the current situation, it probably won't be short."

Zhao Shufen said, "Since he can't get out anytime soon, let him give me his job. I can have the other two houses, and I want one-third of the family savings. The remaining two-thirds can be given to him, or we can put them away separately for him to keep under the custody of your military control committee, and give them to him when he gets out."

Wu Jiangyong said, "Here's what we'll do! We'll see him tomorrow and tell him your thoughts. As for the final result, come over tomorrow afternoon! I'll keep this diagnostic report with me for now. I'll return it to you tomorrow."

"Yes!" Zhao Shufen responded, greeted Wu Jiangyong, and left Wu Jiangyong's office.

"Why is Yi Zhonghai's wife here?!" After Zhao Shufen left, Wang Xia finished her work and went into Wu Jiangyong's office.

Wu Jiangyong said, "She wants a divorce from Yi Zhonghai. This Yi Zhonghai is ruthless. He should have just told his wife that he couldn't have children. If she wanted to stay, great; if not, then forget it. But Yi Zhonghai, instead, he's trying to pin the blame for his wife's infertility on her."

Wang Xia picked up Zhao Shufen's diagnostic report, glanced at it, and said, "It seems there are quite a few problems with this No. 95 compound!"
