The old lady just wanted to say, even without her experience, hadn't Yang Cuihua already faced enough gossip?

He was going to save her; besides, how would Yang Cuihua live after he died?

What business is it of my own how Yang Cuihua lives?

But those present had no idea that so much was going on behind the scenes.

They all looked at Yi Zhonghai and Yang Cuihua with shocked expressions.

Yang Cuihua and Yi Zhonghai are getting a divorce. What's going on? Why isn't Yi Zhonghai saying anything?

And Yang Cuihua even said she was a burden to Yi Zhonghai?? That she caused the Yi family line to almost end?

That's obvious, everyone in our courtyard knows you have a gynecological problem and can't have children.

Why didn't you mention it when you were younger? Why are you bringing it up now that you're so old?

Could there be more to the story? Everyone sensed something juicy. A really big juicy story...

They all looked at Yi Zhonghai and Yang Cuihua with suspicion.

Upon hearing Yang Cuihua's words, Yi Zhonghai nearly ground his teeth to powder, his hands clenching into fists.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Yang Cuihua, but seeing the old lady's expressionless face...

For some reason, the anger I felt suddenly dissipated.

Yi Zhonghai helplessly loosened his clenched fists; he knew he had utterly humiliated himself today.

But what could he do?

Yi Zhonghai never expected that the old lady would know that Banggeng was her son.

They even threatened me. That's absolutely despicable!

My plans were almost complete! Ugh! Now this damn old woman has ruined everything!

Now look what's happened, I'm going to end up with nothing.

Yan Bugui, who was already in a depressed mood, heard that Yi Zhonghai and Yang Cuihua wanted to get a divorce.

I felt incredibly happy, hahaha, what goes around comes around!

Serves you right, Yi Zhonghai, for not helping me earlier.

"Old Yi, since your wife says so, what's your opinion?" Yan Bugui asked unhurriedly.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui say that, he was filled with resentment. Wasn't it just because he hadn't spoken up for him earlier?

You're asking me what I mean now? What am I supposed to say? That I actually have a child?

If I said yes, wouldn't that make me, Yi Zhonghai, seem like a heartless person?

But if I say no, the old lady is watching.

The old lady noticed Yi Zhonghai's hesitation and directly scolded Yan Bugui: "Little Yan,..."

This is their own family matter, and it's not appropriate for us to interfere. Besides...

They're not young anymore; since they've decided to do this, they must have thought it through.

As neighbors, we shouldn't interfere with their choices.

When Yan Bugui heard the old lady say that, he curled his lip in disdain.

Why shouldn't I interfere? I think if it weren't for you, they would never have gotten divorced.

Yan Bugui was right; Yi Zhonghai's divorce from Yang Cuihua was entirely instigated by the old lady.

However, since Yan Bugui had made a mistake, it wasn't appropriate to say much, and the matter was left at that.

Originally, Madam Jia wanted to say something after the meeting ended, but Qin Huairu stopped her.

As soon as she got home, Jia Zhangshi angrily scolded Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, what do you mean?!"

Why did you stop me just now!

"Mom, you still don't understand?" Qin Huairu sighed.

Although I didn't know what had happened between them,

However, when Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai winking at her, she knew that something was definitely going on.

How could they dare let Jia Zhangshi throw a tantrum at the meeting?

"Huh?" Madam Jia looked at Qin Huairu with a face full of doubt, as if to say, "Don't blame me for making a scene if you don't explain yourself clearly."

After all, his beloved grandson's house has flown away, and the little guy is already so big.

It's so inconvenient to share a room with someone else.

"Mom, haven't you realized? They've already planned this all along. No matter how much we make a fuss..."

It's no use. If things really escalate, do you believe the old lady will tell you about the abuse she's been inflicting on her these past few days?

"I'm telling you this too, our family will definitely be in trouble then, believe it or not." Qin Huairu snorted coldly.

You're so stupid, you really can't see the situation clearly, and you even have the nerve to criticize others!

Look at how you treat that old lady!

You're really something. It's one thing for you to eat the dry rations yourself, but you even took half of the cornmeal porridge.

They just add water to people's mouths.

If others saw this, they'd think they were feeding an old lady dishwater.

This charge of elder abuse alone is enough to get you into trouble.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhangshi's earlier arrogance gradually vanished.

His voice gradually lowered: "This isn't what the old lady said at the meeting—that three meals of cornmeal porridge a day would be enough, I…"

"Alright, we can talk about this later, don't rush. Banggeng is my son, I'm more anxious than you are!"

Qin Huairu waved her hand at Jia Zhangshi, interrupting her. "Since the old lady's house isn't suitable..."

Then she'll have to plan this out carefully.

Just then, there was a knock at the Jia family's door. Qin Huairu glared at Jia Zhangshi.

After tidying herself up a bit, she quietly spoke up: "Who is it? Come in."

To the surprise of the two widows of the Jia family, the person who came was actually Yang Cuihua.

Yang Cuihua carried a small bag of cornmeal, saying she had come to thank the Jia family for their previous care of the old lady.

After Yang Cuihua left, Qin Huairu's face immediately darkened.

Wow, this old woman really knows how to do things perfectly.

If I were to use the debt of gratitude I owed her for raising me these past few days after she died,

I still have a chance to get a house, but now this road has been completely blocked by the old lady.

Now there's only one path left, and Qin Huairu fell into deep thought.

,,,,,,,,

Ma Hua had no idea that so many things would happen afterward. He rode his bicycle straight to the Laodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

As soon as Ma Hua arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw his brother Liu.

He was standing at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative smoking when he saw Ma Hua arrive.

They immediately greeted her warmly.

"Xiao Hua, you've finally arrived!"

Ma Hua was a little surprised. What was going on? Why was Brother Liu being so enthusiastic towards him today?

Seeing Ma Hua's confusion, Brother Liu immediately explained, "Have you forgotten what you told me about exchanging chicken for wine?"

Ma Hua then remembered that he had previously asked Brother Liu to help him collect some baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Yes, I think that's what I said back then: as long as I have it, I can exchange it for chicken or any kind of meat.

"Brother Liu, judging from your expression, is there some progress?" Ma Hua said excitedly.

It's not that Ma Hua is in a hurry, it's just that there's not enough wine left for him to drink, let alone collect.

Since receiving the gene serum and the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, his alcohol tolerance has increased dramatically.
