Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Suddenly I noticed a figure sitting at the head of the bed and was immediately startled.

Fortunately, that person was an old lady.

"Guiying, why are you up so early?"

The lady turned around and glanced at him calmly, her voice as still as a pool of dead water, "I didn't sleep at all, wait for you to wake up and give me an explanation."

Yi Zhonghai heard the abnormality in the tone and asked in confusion: "Explanation? What explanation?"

"It seems that you don't remember what you said yesterday after drinking. Let me ask you, are you infertile?"

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, his mind racing as he recalled everything that happened yesterday.

Damn it! I should have known not to drink that wine.

At this point, he regretted it too late. How could he have let this matter slip?

Given my wife's current attitude, if we don't handle it properly, the consequences will be disastrous.

He said calmly, "What infertility? I'm in good health. Where did you hear these nonsense rumors?"

The lady smiled bitterly, "Zhong Hai, if this matter cannot be explained clearly today, I will feel like there is a thorn in my heart and I will not be able to live in peace."

"Can't you just tell me the truth?"

Yi Zhonghai said without hesitation: "I've already told you that there's nothing wrong with my body, why don't you believe it?"

For the sake of a man's reputation, he would never admit this.

The aunt looked at him deeply and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Zhong Hai, today either you explain it to me clearly, or go to the hospital with me for a check-up, otherwise, let's...let's get a divorce."

After a night of thinking, she could no longer suppress her anger. At this moment, the man was still playing tricks on her, and her last bit of patience was completely exhausted.

Yi Zhonghai looked incredulous and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? You are so old and you still say such nonsense. Aren't you afraid that the neighbors will laugh at you?"

The aunt laughed at herself and said, "I am crazy. For so many years, I have been feeling guilty for not being able to leave a child for the Yi family. I always wanted to make it up to you and never dared to speak loudly in front of you. But in the end, I realized how ridiculous I was."

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"Your attitude says it all. If that's the case, I don't plan to continue living with you. We'll hold a meeting later to divide this family up."

"Don't worry, I know you care about your reputation. I will tell everyone that we are getting divorced because of our emotional incompatibility."

Seeing her speak so decisively, Yi Zhonghai looked very embarrassed and asked, "We have spent most of our lives together. Is it necessary to be so serious about such a small matter? Am I really not worthy of your trust?"

"Yes, I trusted you so much before, and that's why I was deceived by you. If I don't see the medical examination report today, we will be divorced." The aunt said firmly.

Yi Zhonghai's face changed from gloomy to bright. After a long sigh, he agreed to negotiate a divorce.

This is a matter of man's dignity, and he would never admit it no matter what.

She's just an old woman. I can live without her.

With his status as an eighth-level fitter, he can find any job he wants.

There will definitely be a day when Tian Guiying will regret it.

Chapter 212 Auntie Wants Divorce

Time flies by.

The sun rises, and the golden light covers the earth with a coat, bright and warm.

Even on the weekend, hardworking people get up early to do their laundry or take a walk. The simple atmosphere of life is everywhere.

At the entrance of Liu's house in the backyard, Liu Haizhong was lying on a recliner with a look of despair on his face, letting the sunlight pour down.

After going through untold hardships, I finally secured the position of a big boss, and thought that I would be able to shock the whole audience from now on.

But instead, whenever they encountered problems, they either solved them on their own or called the police, seemingly not taking him, a senior official, seriously.

It’s really frustrating!

Just at this moment, an old lady came to the door.

"What? You want to divorce Lao Yi?"

After hearing the purpose of the old lady's visit, Liu Haizhong jumped up from the recliner and was three feet tall.

It's hard to imagine that such agile skills can be displayed by such a strong body.

The couple had been together for most of their lives. What a big deal it must have been that it had to come to this point.

Liu Haizhong scratched his head but couldn't figure out what the problem was. Could it be because of Tian Dake?

Not so!

The neighbors were almost shocked when they heard this. Getting a divorce in their fifties was like a quarrel in a wine pot - nonsense.

The same was true for Pei Guang, who had just woken up and was washing up at the sink.

This scene did not happen in the TV series. Judging from the situation, Yi Zhonghai is the one at fault.

Even though he is a grown man, his gossipy soul couldn't help but awaken.

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai had an affair?

However, facing the surprised looks of the neighbors, the aunt completely ignored them.

"Old Liu, please call a meeting of the whole hospital to put an end to this matter."

Seeing that the aunt was determined, Liu Haizhong's persuasion was futile and he had to agree to her request.

Soon, all the families gathered in the central courtyard.

In front of the eight-immortals table, Liu Haizhong sat in the center, Yan Fugui sat on the right, and in front of them were two stools, one on the left and one on the right, on which sat Yi Zhonghai and Tian Guiying respectively.

His calm expression showed no emotion.

The neighbors around had already heard the news and were discussing it in a buzzing voice, with strange looks in their eyes.

Yan Fugui cleared his throat and started the conversation by saying, "The main purpose of holding this meeting today is that the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and Tian Guiying in our hospital has broken down and they are getting divorced."

"Now, please allow the uncle to speak to everyone."

Liu Haizhong drank a sip of tea in a very aggressive manner and said in a deep voice: "Before the meeting, I had a lot of arguments with Lao Yan, but Tian Guiying was very determined to divorce. Here I want to ask, Lao Yi, have you done anything to let her down?"

No matter how righteous his words were, he was actually very happy in his heart and wished that Yi Zhonghai would be humiliated so that no one could threaten his position.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the figure opposite him and said calmly, "It's hard to explain the story between Guiying and me in a few words. We have been going through so many ups and downs for so many years, and now our relationship has broken down to the point where it cannot be reconciled."

"I have already advised everyone I should, you just need to mediate the separation. I will agree to any reasonable request."

The neighbors shook their heads, with disbelief clearly written on their faces.

Tian Guiying was famous for her good temper. She had never had a quarrel with anyone and was extremely obedient to Yi Zhonghai, so there was no chance of any conflict between them.

What is it for?

But the other person didn't want to say more, so they didn't force him.

Someone advised: "Guiying, if you don't think about it again, it will be too late to regret it in the future."

Third Aunt: "Sister Tian, ​​you've lived like this for half your life, and it's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. There's really no need to make a fuss about it."

......

However, despite repeated persuasion from her neighbors, Tian Guiying remained indifferent and was determined to divorce.

Anyway, she has thought it through. After the divorce, she will divide the property, adopt a child, and live out her life.

This was the life she had always dreamed of, and now she finally had the chance to realize it.

Seeing this, the two uncles looked at each other and began to discuss the division of the family property.

Yan Fugui: “##*&???&**%”

After a lot of talk, the summary was that all the money was divided equally. There were two houses, Yi Zhonghai lived in the west wing and Tian Guiying lived in the ear room.

If you have any objections, the case can only be left to the court for judgment.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face changed immediately. All the family property was earned by him bit by bit through hard work. Why should he share it equally with a housewife?

"Guiying, do you think it's appropriate for you to take half?" he said, suppressing his anger.

Tian Guiying was still a little hesitant at first, but when she thought about how she had lived a lie for so many years and that she would need money for everything in the future, she suddenly became ruthless.

"Zhong Hai, if you don't agree, we can take it to court."

The rabbit is in a hurry and even bites!

Worried that the matter would get out of hand and that unpredictable situations might occur, Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time and finally agreed.

He has a job and a pension when he gets old, so the remaining money is enough for him to squander.

So, in full view of everyone, the separation of the two was decided.

Although the exact amount of his assets has not been announced, you can already tell it's an astronomical figure just by thinking about it.

Many neighbors showed greedy expressions.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang looked at each other, their eyes flashing. If they could get so much money, the Jia family would surely soar to the sky.

There's no need to calculate those trivial things.

When the conference came to an end, Pei Guang showed a little regret as he looked at the two people going out to handle the formalities.

It's really unpleasant to be kept in suspense without taking a big bite of the melon.

In fact, it was not just him, everyone else had the same idea. Everyone discussed Yi Zhonghai's faults.

In the afternoon, Pei Guang finally escaped from the little guy's clutches and had his own private time.

When I have free time, I hide in the carving room and do what I like.

It just so happens that the little guy’s first birthday is coming up in a few days, so I carved a small thing as a gift.

"Bang bang! Shashasha!"

Chiseling and dividing are as smooth as flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, Zhao Maimai came to the door with Sanmao and several other children.

Xiu'er hugged his thighs and said in a baby voice, "Uncle Pei, when was the last time you said you would make us something delicious?"

Uh......

Pei Guang was stunned. He had originally wanted to ask them to take care of his children and bribe them with some food.

Who would have thought that plans could not keep up with changes, and since he was not assigned to a class, he slowly forgot about it.

Good boy! You have a very good memory!

A country cannot stand without trust, and he couldn't let the children down with just a little snack.

After a moment of hesitation, an idea came to my mind.

"How about this, Uncle Pei will make you some popcorn. I guarantee it will taste better than what you find outside." Pei Guang said with a smile.

"Great!"

“I love eating popcorn the most!”

The children were overjoyed and clapped their hands excitedly.

Chapter 213 Popcorn

Although Xiaoze and Xiaoyan have never eaten popcorn, there is no doubt that their father’s cooking skills are great and it must be delicious.

The next moment, saliva flowed uncontrollably.

Zhao Maimai was so adorable that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, she was also full of expectations. The crispy and refreshing taste made people linger.

Considering that there were no pressure cookers at that time and ordinary corn kernels could not produce popcorn, a special stove was needed, commonly known as a "bangguo", which had a gourd-shaped appearance. The residents in the next yard happened to have one.

Although under the planned economy, except for a few poor households, individual businesses were not allowed to operate, but there were exceptions in certain occasions, such as market days, when all kinds of vendors popped up like mushrooms after rain.

At this time of year, residents in the neighboring yard would go to the market to make popcorn and earn a little money.

Pei Guang did what he said. He handed a few cigarettes to the residents in the next yard and borrowed the pot back.
