After saying that, the two went out and drove home.

After getting home, I called Er Ya immediately. "Have Qi Hong go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. We'll wait for him there. It can't be later than 10:30."

"Sister-in-law, Qihong isn't home. He went to Zhenye's place. I'll call Ping'an."

"Okay, we'll go over there in a bit."

Speaking of the Ding family, after Zhu Zi and the others left, Ma Lan called out Ding Xiaowei, and that idiot was still crying.

"Alright, stop crying. Go and get ready, we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Mom, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"So what do you want to do? Han Mei is ruthless. She'll go straight to the police station and report your father. Are you thinking that the three of us will suffer the same fate as you? Are you trying to ruin this family?"

"mom."

"You don't need to say anything. Go pack up. Once this is done today, you can go back to your hometown."

"mom!"

Ma Lan waved her hand and sat down weakly on the sofa.

Er Ya called Ping An, "Go with Qi Hong."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry."

Ping An found Zhang Weiyu and said, "Third Brother, I'll go with Qi Hong."

"Okay, go ahead and give Lao Cao a call."

"knew."

After leaving safely, I called the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, "Director Cao, come over in a bit too, um, to process the divorce."

The two arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 10 o'clock, but it wasn't there yet, so Ping An and Qi Hong went to find Director Cao together.

"Assistant Cheng, your ambiguous statement has made me quite uneasy for quite some time."

"I'm sorry, Director Cao, please take care of it for me in a bit."

"No problem, I'll do it myself."

When Han Mei and Zhu Zi arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, they saw Ping An's car and knew that Qi Hong had arrived.

The couple didn't go inside; instead, they waited here for the Ding family.

At 10:20, the Ding family of three also arrived.

There's nothing more to say to them when they meet. The fact that they didn't act like enemies is already a testament to their good manners.

As they entered, Qi Hong and Ping An both stood up, and Director Cao sat down behind the workbench.

Han Mei took out the agreement, her household registration book, and her marriage certificate.

When Ding Chunqiu saw Ping An, he knew he had done the right thing by not delaying.

Ma Lan also handed over her household registration book and marriage certificate.

It was completely quiet, without a sound. The procedures were completed very quickly, without any routine questions or anything like that.

Five minutes later, the divorce certificate was ready. Qi Hong took it, glanced at it, walked to his mother's side, and put his arm around her shoulder. "Mom, thank you."

"You are my son."

“Auntie, Qihong and I are going back.”

"Well, let's go eat first," Zhu Zi said, his son still hadn't even glanced at him.

"Uncle, Third Brother is waiting for us to eat."

The two drove away, and Han Mei and Zhu Zi also drove away.

After watching them leave, Ding Chunqiu said, "If you were smart, you would have ridden in this car, but you're an idiot."

After saying that, he ignored the mother and daughter and turned to leave.

When I got home, my son was already there. "Mom, how did you resolve that? When are they going to take my sister back?"

"We're divorced," Ding Chunqiu replied to his son.

"What? The Li family is going too far! I'm going to find Li Qihong!" Ding Xiaoming was furious and rushed out with his sleeves rolled up.

"Stop right there. Don't get involved in this. If something goes wrong, you'll be in big trouble."

"Dad, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Let's not settle this. What do you want to do? Who do you think the Li family is?"

Ding Xiaoming wasn't stupid. After thinking for a moment, he sat down dejectedly.

When Ping An and Qi Hong returned, they saw Zhang Weiyu in a meeting. The two sat down, and Qi Hong picked up the phone and called the restaurant to order a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup.

"Are you trying to turn your grief into appetite?" Ping An teased his cousin.

"Yes, cousin, I'm a divorced man now."

"Yeah, it's worthless now."

"Cousin, can you stop teasing me like this?"

"Qihong, it's not a big deal. You can just find someone you like in the future."

"Can I find it?"

"Why not?"

"Cousin, even if I find someone I like, they won't want a second-hand item."

Zhang Weiyu burst into laughter upon hearing Qi Hong's words.

"Little brother, you're not secondhand, you're still the original, don't worry, don't worry."

"Third brother, I'm heartbroken. Shouldn't you comfort me and empathize with me?"

"Why would I do that? This is just a funny thing. Okay, man, what's the big deal?"

When Han Mei and Zhu Zi returned, Zhu Zi went to the kitchen, and Han Mei dialed Zhang Hongmei's number.

"Madam, it's resolved. The Ding family isn't completely stupid yet."

"Okay, that's good, don't overthink it."

"Yes, I know."

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.

During lunch, the two said, "Han Mei, let Hong Mei help Qi Hong find a wife in the future."

"We'll talk about it later."

"Hongmei has good taste."

If Zhang Hongmei knew, she would definitely laugh. What kind of judgment does she have? Isn't she just a genius? Being able to hear a person's inner thoughts is enough to understand 70% of that person; the rest is just investigation.

After finishing lunch, Han Mei and Zhu Zi drove to Liu Maocai's house.

"Aunt, the matter is resolved. Qihong has already gotten a divorce."

"Sigh! It's better that we're divorced."

Li Cuihua looked at the pillar sitting to one side, picked up the broom handle from the bed, and hit him a few times.

The pillar dared not move or dodge, and took the blows head-on.

"Auntie, please hit me a few more times."

Li Cuihua hit her a few times, then put her down, panting.

"Auntie, are you calmed down? I'll hit it myself."

"You're driving me crazy! You've ruined our perfectly good child."

"Auntie, I was wrong, I really know now."

Han Mei quickly helped Li Cuihua lean against something, saying, "Auntie, don't be angry anymore. It's good that it's resolved now."

"Han Mei, I'm sorry you had to marry such a blockhead."

"Auntie, I'm not wronged, I'm fine."

Zhu Zi quickly sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), next to Li Cuihua.

"Auntie, please don't be angry. I will never do it again."

"Hmph! You've already ruined enough for Qihong, what else can you do?"

Zhu Zi was speechless. His aunt was right. His son was probably angry with him too. Back then, he had told his son that he was going to find him a wife, but he didn't want to, and neither of them wanted to.

In the end, the child compromised. At that time, she was convinced that the Ding family was good, Ding Chunqiu was her good friend, and Ding Xiaowei was a good child.

But reality slapped me in the face. No wonder my aunt called me a blockhead. My face hurts.

Han Mei was comforting Li Cuihua. Just then, Liu Maocai entered.

"Uncle."

"Zhu Zi, you can't do that again."

"Yes, Uncle, I know. I won't do such a thing again."
