Chapter 38 Yu Li and her sisters divorce

The next day, Lou Zhendong's car took He Zheng and He Xiu to school.

He Yong rides his bicycle to school by himself.

Lou Xiao'e stayed at the Lou family and accompanied Lou Tan. She planned to go and see the house as soon as she got news about her father buying a house.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle back to the courtyard, ready to pick up some things. He also left a note for the eldest brother, asking him to spend the weekend at Lou's house after he came back.

"Zhu Zi, are you back from your father-in-law's house?"

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see the third uncle first.

"Yes, Third Uncle, I went to do some work yesterday and drank a little, so I just stayed here."

He Yuzhu told a lie casually without blushing, his eyes didn't flicker, and his tone and intonation didn't change.

Alas, I am almost becoming a liar.

After a self-deprecating laugh, He Yuzhu pushed the bicycle in.

Nowadays, there are many people living in the courtyard, so an old man hired someone to build a slope with cement on the original threshold.

You no longer need to carry your bicycle when you go in and out.

When I arrived at the middle courtyard, I saw a group of people surrounding a woman. I didn't know what had happened.

"Woooooooo..."

The person surrounded by the crowd was Yu Li from the backyard. Judging from her posture, she was probably arguing with Xu Damao again.

"Uncle, what's going on?"

Seeing a group of women blocking the road, He Yuzhu simply parked his car under the eaves of an old man's house.

"It's that bastard Xu Damao. He didn't come home the whole night yesterday. When he came back this morning, Yu Li found that Xu Damao had a woman's thing in his pocket."

The old man was furious: "Yu Li asked him a few questions, and Xu Damao actually took a stick and beat Yu Li."

"Good fellow, Xu Damao's grandson did such bad things and has such a bad temper. Can Yu Li forgive him?"

He Yuzhu became excited when he heard about the troubles in Xu Damao's family, but he also knew that the couple in the Xu family quarreled every day, and Yu Li had no intention of divorcing Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu was about to go to work. Seeing He Yuzhu was there, she came over to say a few words and whispered, "Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2 just asked Liu Guangtian to go to the police station to report the incident."

When the old man heard this, he was filled with indignation. It had been many years since such a shameful thing happened in this courtyard.

Today, Xu Damao's incident has become a big deal, and the entire courtyard will be exposed in the nearby alleys.

He Yuzhu was delighted when he heard this: "Okay, wait for the police station to come over, find out who that woman is, and then drag them out and parade them through the streets with their broken shoes hung on them."

As Xu Damao's old enemy, He Yuzhu has not fought with Xu Damao for a long time.

But now that I have the chance, I can't help but want to give him a good beating.

The people from the police station came quickly, one old and one young, two police officers.

As soon as the young policeman appeared, he looked serious and shouted, "Who is Xu Damao?"

The uncle walked over quickly and said, "Hello, comrade, I am the uncle who manages this courtyard. Xu Damao is still at home in the backyard."

"Take us there."

Two policemen followed the old man, and the neighbors from other courtyards also followed in a large number.

He Yuzhu was also bored, so he followed a group of old women to watch the fun.

Xu Damao's liveliness is something you would have missed if you didn't watch, but it would be worth watching if you did.

Just one look at it can make your day.

When he arrived at the backyard, He Yuzhu suddenly thought of Lou Xiaoe.

If this woman knew that she was going to miss out on a show, she would regret not coming back with me.

All the women and elderly people who were not working in the courtyard came over, and more than 30 people were crowded together in a noisy manner.

He Yuzhu was tall and strong, but it was difficult for him to squeeze in, after all, most of the people inside were women from the orphanage.

If I squeeze in now, who knows how these old women will criticize me afterwards.

Through a group of people, he could hear bursts of screams coming from Xu Damao's house, especially Yu Li's heart-wrenching cries, which made He Yuzhu stunned.

After a long while, He Yuzhu thought that the policemen would take Xu Damao away, but the people in the room came out and the two policemen left alone.

Where is Xu Damao?

Why don’t you take Xu Damao away as well?
The people outside the house didn't hear clearly what happened inside. When they saw the police leave, they all rushed into Xu Damao's house.

Just then, an old man came out and shouted a few times: "Everyone go away, everyone go away."

He Yuzhu was reluctant to leave. He hadn't seen the fun yet and hadn't figured out anything yet. How was he going to tell Lou Xiao'e about his visit to Lou's house in the evening?

"Zhu Zi, why are you joining in the fun?"

An old lady also came out and saw He Yuzhu standing on tiptoe and looking inside, so she pulled him directly towards the central courtyard.

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Auntie, is Xu Damao having an affair? Why didn't the police arrest him?"

It's not that He Yuzhu is gloating, but it's just a habit.

The He family and the Xu family are considered to be arch-enemies. If Xu Damao is not doing well, He Yuzhu will applaud.

He Yuzhu would feel sorry if Xu Damao was fine.

"Oh, how can I explain this?" The expression on the aunt's face was so rich, showing pity, surprise, and contempt.

"Tell me slowly," He Yuzhu smiled, and helped the old lady to sit down at the gate of the central courtyard. Several women behind her also ran over. It was obvious that they couldn't squeeze into the house, so they came to ask the old lady for news.

The aunt looked at the group of people surrounding her, their eyes eager for her to say something, and there was a bit of arrogance in her eyes:
"Xu Damao is having an affair."

A hammer is fixed.

He Yuzhu and several women opened their mouths wide and said "oh".

A woman asked in confusion: "Why didn't the police arrest Xu Damao?"

The aunt said mysteriously, "Because the person who had an affair with Xu Damao was not an outsider, but Xu Damao's sister-in-law!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked.

He Yuzhu was also shocked when he heard this. Could Xu Damao's sister-in-law be Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang? What was going on?

Yu Haitang is such a proud girl, how could she fall for Xu Damao, a loser like him?
The woman also reacted quickly: "Xu Damao's sister-in-law? Isn't that Yu Li's sister?"

"That's right," the auntie said with contempt, "Yu Li's sister's name is Haitang. She recently divorced her husband, and Xu Damao, that bastard, went to hook up with her. He found something women's in his pocket, and he admitted that it was Yu Li's sister's."

He Yuzhu was also very impressed after hearing this: "Wow, this Xu Damao is really good at playing around. Yu Li's sister wanted to divorce, but he, as her brother-in-law, didn't try to persuade them to reconcile. Instead, he took the opportunity to get both the sister and the husband back. Haha, he really deserves to be called Xu Damao!"

A group of women satisfied their curiosity and began to criticize Xu Damao.

Several women who had met Yu Haitang said, "I've seen Yu Li's younger sister. She's very beautiful. My husband said she was once the most beautiful girl in the steel mill. When she was young, many people pursued her. Later, she married a nephew of Director Li."

Some people didn't understand and asked, "Why are they getting a divorce now?" The woman said with certainty, "She must be disgusted with him. Last year, Director Yang was reinstated and Director Li stepped down. I think Yu Haitang is disgusted with Director Li's nephew and wants to draw a line."

"I don't think Yu Haitang is that good," one woman said, "Even if she wants to divorce, she should find a better one. If she messes around with her brother-in-law Xu Damao, the Yu family will be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!"

The Yu family was not far from the courtyard house, only three streets away.

Now that there is such a big commotion in the courtyard, Yu Li’s neighbors will definitely get wind of it.

The news that Xu Damao had Yu Haitang's underwear in his pocket quickly fermented.

On this day, He Yuzhu was reluctant to leave, so he stayed in the courtyard and listened to the noise.

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu went to Lou's house and brought Lou Xiao'e back.

If there is something exciting, we should watch it together.

If Lou Xiao'e knew afterwards that she had gotten herself into such a big drama, she would definitely blame the man for not informing her.

Sure enough, when Lou Xiao'e heard the news, she happily sat on the back of He Yuzhu's bicycle and returned to the courtyard.

It was the weekend when the student workers had a day off, and everyone in the hospital knew about Xu Damao's situation.

The scope of transmission spread rapidly.

By the second week, Lou Zhendong told He Yuzhu that he had found several houses for sale.

He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e to have a look and decided on four small Western-style houses near the imperial city. Without giving the owners a chance to hesitate, he directly paid real money and bought all four houses.

He Yuzhu is now willful because he has a lot of money.

The average price of the four houses was about 5,000 yuan. He Yuzhu didn't even blink when he took out 20,000 yuan.

The subsequent procedures were rather complicated, so Lou Zhendong used his connections again.

While processing the formalities, He Yuzhu hired a decoration team to renovate the four houses.

Everything from floor heating to bathroom needs to be installed.

Air conditioners, chandeliers and so on, all want the best.

The old furniture needs to be sorted out.

If it's an antique, keep it.

If it's not an antique, get rid of it.

It will take a lot of time to renovate these four houses. The decoration team estimated that it will take at least two or three months.

Anyway, the He family won’t be able to move in for a while.

The matter between Xu Damao and the Yu Li sisters finally came to a conclusion.

First, Yu Haitang was the first to divorce.

It turned out that Yu Haitang was divorced, but the man still wanted to keep her.

One reason is that the Li family is now in decline, and it is more difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

Of course, the main reason is that Yu Haitang is beautiful.

After divorcing Yu Haitang, the man might not be able to find such a beautiful woman.

Just at this time, the news that Xu Damao had an affair with his sister-in-law spread, and the man had to let go no matter how much he liked Yu Haitang.

After all, even if men are reluctant to divorce, their families may not agree.

So shameful.

So, in the end, Yu Haitang was the first to divorce.

Then Xu Damao and Yu Li divorced.

Unlike Yu Haitang's divorce which was clean and smooth, Xu Damao and Yu Li's divorce was extremely painful.

The two have been married for more than ten years. Logically speaking, since they don't have children, they should have completed the marriage formalities quickly.

However, these two people quarreled every day over the division of property, and even engaged in physical fights many times.

Xu Damao said that this house was left to him by his parents and was the ancestral property of the Xu family. Why should it be given to Yu Li?

Yu Li said that she had been married for so many years and her salary was several thousand yuan, all of which she spent on this family, and she would definitely not be able to not divide the family property.

The neighborhood office came to mediate twice, but was unsuccessful both times.

Because the two of them refused to give in.

Moreover, the husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons.

Originally, the house belongs to whoever owns the ancestral property, and there is no dispute about this matter.

The problem is that Xu Damao is the party at fault.

As the party at fault, it is rare for Xu Damao to speak so confidently.

There are a lot of things going on in the street, and it is impossible to deal with the Xu family's affairs every day. In the end, the ball was kicked to the manager of the courtyard.

The second uncle went to say a few words, but was scolded out by Yu Li.

The first and third uncles went in and asked Xu Damao to come out again.

Without Shazhu stirring up trouble in the courtyard, the three managers have less and less authority.

The uncle has no children, and as the old saying goes, he is the head of a family with no descendants.

Although he is kind and generous in his daily life, everyone has their own lives to live and doesn't have time to listen to his nagging like Shazhu.

Why should we be kind? We should not only care about ourselves but also ignore others.

Everyone in the courtyard is one family, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

When an old man says these words in daily life, everyone will listen.

But when things really come to a head, ordinary people who really live their lives will find that blood-related relatives are more reliable.

The reason why an old man's clichés are so popular in TV dramas is actually because of the help of a silly character.

Without Sha Zhu to support the Jia family and practice the nonsense of the eldest uncle, the eldest uncle would be just an ordinary worker.

The second and third uncles are even worse than the first uncle.

The second uncle believed that a good son would be born under the stick, but as a result, his eldest son Liu Guangqi, whom he valued the most, never came back to see his parents after he got married.

When the earthquake struck the third uncle's house, the second and third sons ran into the yard and dismantled the third uncle's earthquake-resistant shed.

If they can't even control their own son, who in the courtyard would be willing to listen to their nagging?
On this day, the three uncles were taken turns to have their faces thrown to the ground and stepped on by Xu Damao and Yu Li.

It also represents the power of the man in charge of the courtyard house, which has completely declined.

If there was a voice-over at this time.

They would probably say, “This is a historical turning point for Siheyuan.”
