Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"Director Yu, what's the point of investigating this?" Xu Damao pointed at the medical report. "This one proves Aunt Wu is fine, and this one proves Yi Zhonghai is problematic. Aunt Wu also said Yi Zhonghai was quite resistant to this matter. Doesn't this clearly prove that Yi Zhonghai is infertile?"

"Comrade, we can't be so arbitrary in what we do. We have to protect women's rights, but that doesn't mean we should absolutely believe anyone who comes to us crying. We can't do that without investigating and collecting evidence."

"Da Mao, I know you care about Auntie, but we still have to listen to Director Yu." Auntie Wu looked at Director Yu, "Director Yu, I hope you can come back to the courtyard with me. If Yi Zhonghai admits it, I will divorce him."

"If he doesn't admit it, please ask him to agree to go to the hospital for a checkup. No matter what, I have to make it clear to everyone that I can have children. I can't bear this stigma of being infertile in vain."

Director Yu nodded in agreement. Their Women's Federation had been established for some time, but among the masses, it wasn't well-known. Few women comrades came to the Women's Federation when they were wronged, and their work wasn't going very smoothly.

Now that Aunt Wu has arrived, it can be said that she has given them an opportunity to make a name for themselves. They must do this beautifully, so as to promote their Women's Federation.

Chapter 205 Aunt Wu’s Self-Proof

In the quadrangle, some people have already come to the middle courtyard with stools to watch the fun.

Several people sat together and whispered, everyone was curious about why Aunt Wu would call everyone to hold a meeting in the whole hospital.

Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu met, "Didn't you get informed about this?" ×2, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yi Zhonghai was a little nervous. After staying in the room for a while, he came out and found that Aunt Wu was gone, but the dishes on the table were still there untouched.

Now many more people came to the Intermediate Court, looking at his house with a look of watching the fun, which made him even more nervous.

"Is Master (Uncle Yi) at home?"

"Dongxu, Zhuzi, you're here just in time. Tell me quickly, what's going on? Your master's wife is missing again, and why are the neighbors in the middle courtyard again? No one informed me that there would be a meeting today."

Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu were silent. They didn't know what had happened. They heard from the neighbors that it was Aunt Wu who asked to call everyone for a meeting today.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai realized that something was wrong and his face was filled with fear. He knew in his heart that something big was going to happen today.

……

Jiang Fan and his family sat together, watching the big show in the middle.

A few minutes ago, a working group led by Director Wang of the Street Office and Director Yu of the Women's Office entered the courtyard and held a meeting on the life issues raised by Comrade Wu Chunhua.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai firmly disagreed with holding a meeting. He believed that family matters could be discussed between the two of them and there was no need to hold a meeting or involve the leaders.

But Director Yu directly rejected him, stating bluntly, "The Women's Federation's job is to make decisions for women and protect their rights. Now that Comrade Wu Chunhua has made this request, we must guarantee it."

The drama begins.

Aunt Wu stood up and bowed to everyone, "Neighbors, I, Wu Chunhua, am sorry to have taken up your time today."

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows that Yi Zhonghai and I have been married for almost 30 years and we still have no children. For these 30 years, I have always believed that my inability to have children was my fault and that I felt sorry for Yi Zhonghai. So, at home, I rush to do all the dirty work and accept whatever Yi Zhonghai says. Aside from not giving him a child, I have never felt sorry for him in the slightest."

"But a few days ago, Wang Jia from our hospital let me know that having children isn't just a woman's problem. Today I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the results showed that there's nothing wrong with me. I, Wu Chunhua, can have children."

Aunt Wu took out the certificate and handed it to Yan Bugui, asking him, a cultured person, to explain it to everyone.

Yan Bugui looked at Wu Chunhua, then at Yi Zhonghai, and felt that the paper in his hand was a hot potato.

Liu Haizhong took the paper and said to Yan Bugui, "Old Yan, look at yourself. Liu Guangtian, come here and read it."

Liu Guangtian quickly ran over and read the inspection report.

Xu Damao then said, "We met Aunt Wu when she went to the hospital today. She's fine! She can have a baby."

Yi Zhonghai finally found out who gave Wu Chunhua the money.

Facing Yi Zhonghai's murderous gaze, Xu Damao was not at all intimidated. He straightened his back and responded positively.

The inspection report was passed around and returned to Aunt Wu, who placed it on the table.

"Leaders, you have all checked and verified that I can have children."

Director Wang placed the report in front of Yi Zhonghai and said, "Yi Zhonghai, we have verified with the hospital and can confirm that Comrade Wu Chunhua is fertile. It's not her fault that you two haven't had children for so many years."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled slightly. He knew that the infertile person might become him.

Sure enough, after Director Wang confirmed the news, the neighbors began to discuss the issue in low voices.

"So Aunt Wu can have children? Then the one who can't is Yi Zhonghai, right?"

"That must be his problem. If there were nothing wrong with him, how could he have been married for decades without having children?"

"Do you think Yi Zhonghai knows that he can't have children? If he does, he's so disgusting. Isn't this delaying Aunt Wu's life? Don't you know how much Aunt Wu wants a child of her own?"

Listening to the neighbors' discussions, Yi Zhonghai's brain raced. "Right, as long as I insist on saying I don't know anything about this, then at most I'll be labeled infertile. I absolutely can't admit that I knew about this a long time ago, otherwise I'll be completely humiliated."

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai looked guilty.

"Director Wang, Director Yu, my dear. I really didn't know about this. I was taught from a young age that not being able to have children is a woman's problem. So I blamed this problem on you, my dear. I was wrong. I reflect on it and I promise I won't do it again."

Yi Zhonghai's attitude was sincere, his face filled with remorse for his wrongdoing. This made those who didn't know the truth think he was also suffering from a lack of education. After all, most people wouldn't blame men for infertility.

Aunt Wu didn't take out Yi Zhonghai's medical report, but asked him, "Old Yi, since you said so, you certainly don't mind going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, right?"

"This? I don't think this is necessary." How could Yi Zhonghai agree to this? Wouldn't that expose his true identity?

At this time, the fool Sha Zhu started to stir up trouble, "Uncle Yi, I believe you. Let's go to the hospital tomorrow. It's just a physical examination. There's nothing wrong with our health. Why should we be afraid of him?"

Sha Zhu's words were like a powder keg. The neighbors spoke up for Yi Zhonghai and expressed their support for him to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Even Xu Damao stood up and said, "Neighbors, everyone knows that Sha Zhu and I don't get along, but today I want to say that what Sha Zhu said is right. I also support Yi Zhonghai going to the hospital."

As the atmosphere became more lively, Yi Zhonghai became even more flustered. Beads of sweat streamed down his forehead, and he spoke incoherently, not knowing what to say.

"Chunhua, what are you doing? Now that you've proven you can have children, no one will say anything anymore. I've also admitted my mistake, what else do you want?"

"I don't want anything. I just want a child of my own. Is that wrong?" Aunt Wu said coldly, "If you, Yi Zhonghai, can't prove that you can have children, then we'll divorce and I'll find someone who can."

The neighbors fell silent at this remark. Aunt Wu's words were truly bold. While divorces among young people are rare these days, they still happen. But for someone like Aunt Wu, who's half buried in the earth, to say they want a divorce is extremely rare.

"What did you say?"

Chapter 206 Divorce

Yi Zhonghai looked at Wu Chunhua in disbelief. He simply couldn't believe what he had just heard. His wife, with whom he had lived for most of his life, actually wanted to divorce him.

The audience was stunned. Was this such a big deal? Everyone had assumed Aunt Wu was trying to prove herself. They hadn't expected it to involve a divorce.

Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu were also confused, and quickly came to Aunt Wu and began to persuade her.

"Master's Wife, what are you doing? You and Master have spent most of your life together, why are you still asking for a divorce?"

"Yeah, isn't it just that we don't have children? Now Banggeng recognizes you as godparents, and when my child is born, I will still recognize you as godparents. Isn't it the same?"

Aunt Wu looked at Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu, feeling a little touched. "Dongxu, Zhuzi, you are both good children. But please don't try to persuade me anymore."

Seeing that Aunt Wu had made up her mind, the two men turned around and came to Yi Zhonghai, persuading him to go to the hospital.

But Yi Zhonghai said he was unwilling to do anything. Jia Dongxu seemed to know something and pulled Sha Zhu back with some surprise.

"Wu Chunhua, are you really going to take this far?"

"Yi Zhonghai, I gave you a chance."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, and said, "Then divorce."

These four words shocked the neighbors and broke Aunt Wu's fragile heart.

"However, divorce is a matter between the two of us, so there's no need to let everyone laugh at us."

Yi Zhonghai's idea was very simple. Since the two of them had already torn their faces apart, he had to keep the last bit of face at all costs. No matter what, he would never reveal the fact that he could not have children. This was a man's dignity.

Aunt Wu didn't know why, but she didn't expose Yi Zhonghai in public. She asked Director Wang and Director Yu to preside over the divorce.

……

"This isn't right. If Aunt Wu doesn't produce the medical report, how can we expose Yi Zhonghai's infertility?"

Xu Damao ran to Jiang Fan and asked.

"No need to expose it. By now, most people in the hospital have figured out that Yi Zhonghai is infertile. All we have to do is fan the flames and let everyone know why Yi Zhonghai is infertile. I don't need to teach you this, do I?"

Xu Damao understood. "It's just a rumor. I'm familiar with this. I promise to make up one, no, several versions for Yi Zhonghai."

Xu Damao's forte is rumor-mongering. As an excellent film projectionist, he has heard too many stories in the countryside. Just picking two of them can ruin Yi Zhonghai's reputation.

Inside the house, Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Wu argued fiercely over the division of their family property. At that moment, years of affection vanished into thin air, blown away by the wind.

"Since we got married, I've been working outside to earn money, and all the savings in the family are earned by me."

According to Yi Zhonghai's idea, even if they divorced, he would not give Aunt Wu too much money, not even the house.

However, Director Yu directly brought up the new marriage law and told Yi Zhonghai that if he dared to do so, he would be breaking the law and could be arrested. This immediately made Yi Zhonghai wilted. No matter how bold he was, he did not dare to violate the law in front of his leader.

"According to the new marriage law, I want half of the family property, and I also want one of this house."

"This isn't fair!" Yi Zhonghai yelled. "I work so hard outside, toiling away every day to earn this little fortune. And you just wash clothes and cook at home every day and you want to take half of it? Why?"

"Why? Because it's the law, and because you, Yi Zhonghai, have wasted Wu Chunhua's time for so many years." Director Yu pointed at Yi Zhonghai, his eyes full of anger. "You, Yi Zhonghai, can't have children, and you blame others. You've kept her childless for so many years, so asking you for half is still a bargain."

Yi Zhonghai was struck by lightning, but he still insisted that it was not his fault that he could not have children, it was just that the two of them were unlucky.

"Yi Zhonghai! You really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Think about it carefully. What did you do in the hospital after the old deaf man was arrested last year?"

Aunt Wu's words were like a 10,000-ton hammer hitting Yi Zhonghai's forehead, and his head was buzzing.

Aunt Wu continued, "You came back that day like you had lost your soul. I thought you were having another hysterical attack, so I asked Sha Zhu to wake you up. But the truth is, you were scared when you found out you couldn't have children, right?"

"how do you know?"

Yi Zhonghai blurted out, then he changed his words and said, "No, I'm not, don't talk nonsense! You are slandering me."

"I slandered you? Do you think I don't know?"

"what do you know?"

"Haha," Aunt Wu laughed, "I went to the hospital today and the doctor told me everything."

Yi Zhonghai panicked, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said the name Yi Zhonghai sounded familiar, and it seemed like he'd done a fertility test. I asked him what he looked like, but he couldn't tell me. He just knew your hands were shaking. How dare you say that wasn't you!"

This was not something Aunt Wu came up with, but something Jiang Fan told Xu Damao, who then told Aunt Wu. If Yi Zhonghai denied it, they would use this to blackmail him.

As expected, Yi Zhonghai was stunned after hearing this, and his heart finally gave out.

Heartbroken, Yi Zhonghai signed a divorce agreement with Aunt Wu in the presence of Director Wang and Director Yu. Since they were only in a de facto marriage and didn't have a marriage certificate, they couldn't get a divorce certificate. They just had to go to the neighborhood committee office tomorrow to handle the paperwork.

The two of them still had half of their property, including the house. Yi Zhonghai took the one they were living in, and the other was left to Aunt Wu.

Now the two of them can be said to be officially divorced.

Director Yu told Yi Zhonghai not to forget to go to the street office tomorrow, and that the people from their Women's Federation would pay attention to the matter throughout, so he should not have any crooked ideas about the division of property.

After the two directors left, many people came to Yi Zhonghai's door, wanting to see if they could get some more information. However, Yi Zhonghai kept the door closed tightly, and even Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu refused to open it when they knocked.

"Wu Chunhua, I didn't realize you were so cruel. You don't care about the feelings between husband and wife at all and just want to divorce me." Yi Zhonghai looked at Aunt Wu coldly, with hatred surging in his eyes. He wanted to kill the woman who had slept with him for many years on the spot.

"Yi Zhonghai, I'm no match for you. You clearly know how much I want a child of my own. But you knew you couldn't have one, yet you still wanted to delay me. You're truly heartless!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I really knew about this last year."

"It doesn't matter anymore, Yi Zhonghai. I'll have my own children in the future who will call me mom, and I might even see my own grandchildren. As for you, just hold on to your grandson Jia. I want to see how you'll face the ancestors of the Yi family in the future!"

Chapter 207 Choice

While Yi Zhonghai and his friends were discussing the distribution of property, the neighbors outside began to have an in-depth discussion on the matter.

"I feel like Yi Zhonghai is infertile. Did you see that when Aunt Wu told him to go to the hospital, he looked so terrified, as if his father had died?"

"Aunt Wu still has the medical report from the hospital. Director Wang even certified it. How could this be fake?"

"By the way, didn't Aunt Wu say she was with Xu Damao and the others today? Do you think Xu Damao knows about this?"

At this time, Xu Damao had just returned from the toilet. Seeing so many aunties squatting there, he immediately went up to them with a smile and said, "Aunties, are you peeling the raw meat here?"

"Da Mao is here, please sit down, I have something to ask you." When they saw Xu Damao, their eyes lit up.

"What is it?"

"Nowadays……"
