Chapter 74: It's almost as expected
"Divorced just like that?" Hao Mei looked at the divorce certificate in Li Hua's hand in surprise. This was too fast.
Hao Mei stayed at home and steamed three large pots of steamed buns. Before the buns were cold, Li Hua, Rutang and others came back.
There was an extra divorce certificate in Li Hua's hand.
This speed was simply unbelievable to Hao Mei. These days, Hao Mei had been rehearsing over and over in her mind how she should divorce Chen Fu, how the Chen family would make trouble, and then how they would fight for three hundred rounds, with both sides fighting back and forth.
In Hao Mei's mind, Li Hua's divorce probably went through the same process.
As a result, they got divorced in just three pots of steamed buns, and even got the divorce certificate back!
For a woman, such an important matter was done so quickly!
"It's more than just a divorce certificate. We also helped Sister Hua get the house." Rutang expressed satisfaction with his efficiency.
The group got the recorded evidence and caught the scum off guard. Li Hua was determined to divorce, so after beating Zhang Lang up, he dragged Zhang Lang directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau, even bringing his household registration book with him as preparation in advance.
Li Hua even prepared the certificate from the factory and the letter of introduction from the street.
This incident is enough to show Li Hua's courage. She has been busy with this matter these days, and went to the factory to handle the formalities without telling Zhang Lang. Her success was all thanks to the connections Li Hua has accumulated over the years, and Zhang Lang's arrogance and domineering behavior in the factory, often relying on his position as workshop director to bully others.
Li Hua knew Zhang Lang's interpersonal relationships best and knew who had a bad relationship with Zhang Lang. So he would ask the leaders who had a bad relationship with Zhang Lang to write letters of introduction, and every time he wrote, it worked.
Zhang Lang didn't even understand what was going on. He let Li Hua take him to the Civil Affairs Bureau, completed all the formalities, and got divorced right away.
Before the divorce, Rutang, who was quite legally conscious, asked Zhang Lang to sign a declaration of voluntary giving up of real estate and savings, put his fingerprints on it, and found witnesses, which was legally effective.
In that era, houses were allocated by the factory. There was no house deed or anything like that. There was only the right to use the house issued by the factory. In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, Zhang Lang was asked to write clearly that this was the compensation for Li Hua after the divorce.
The more than 1,000 yuan in savings that the two had saved over the years were also given to Li Hua.
Rutang has doubts about this deposit figure.
Zhang Lang himself confessed that he accepted a lot of money and gifts from workers. It was impossible for him and Li Hua to have only a little over a thousand yuan in property after marriage. Considering that this man had a mistress outside and had unclear relationships with his female colleagues, he probably had a lot of hidden funds.
But Li Hua was angry and didn't want to get entangled with the scumbag any longer, so he thought about cutting the Gordian knot and getting a divorce quickly. He didn't pursue the matter of the slush fund and would just get the house and the savings and be even.
Zhang Lang didn't want to get divorced. Although he was living a life of debauchery and having a mistress, he knew that Li Hua was good at managing life, and this woman was very sociable and could help him build good interpersonal relationships. To put it bluntly, Li Hua was a lucky charm for her husband.
But in the current situation, Zhang Lang has no choice but to accept it. The tape in Rutang's hands is fatal evidence. Once it is released, everything Zhang Lang has will come to nothing.
In addition, Yu Yaoyang and his brother were too good at fighting. Zhang Lang beat them until they were dizzy and signed without thinking. By the time he felt that something was not right, the matter was already done. The Civil Affairs Bureau stamped the marriage with a big seal and they were divorced.
"I will go to the police station to move my household registration out tomorrow! It's unlucky to be in the same household with such a scumbag!" Li Hua's eyes were red and swollen, but he was in high spirits.
Rutang guessed that her excitement would last for a while, and when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would probably feel uncomfortable and cry secretly. However, based on Li Hua's adventurous personality, she would be able to get over this failed marriage in less than a month.
A woman’s divorce is different from a man’s. A woman will feel pain for a while after a divorce, but as long as she gets over it, it will be a new world and she will no longer be obsessed with her scumbag ex.
It’s different for men. During the immediate period after divorce, he may feel lucky that he doesn’t have to see his wife, but the longer time goes by, the more uncomfortable he will feel.
However, Zhang Lang's situation is different. He was tricked into leaving the house with nothing by Rutang and others. He will definitely try every means to retain Li Hua and cling to her shamelessly. It's not that he cares much about Li Hua. He just can't bear to give up the house issued by the unit, the money he saved for many years, and his face in front of the outside world.
In that era, divorce was not a glorious thing, especially since Li Hua had to live in the candy factory’s family quarters after the divorce, with so many employees in the factory watching her. Zhang Lang must have felt ashamed.
"So what are your plans for the future?" Hao Mei asked Li Hua.
"I'm going to get my hair permed in a bit. I've wanted to get big curls. I've wanted to get it permed for a long time, but I couldn't bear to spend the money. I was thinking of saving it to buy delicious food for this bastard. From now on, I'll live for myself. I'll treat you guys to dinner tonight. I'll treat you guys to delicious food. You're all at a loss this time!"
Li Hua said proudly that she had not thought too far ahead yet and was just thinking about rewarding the heroes in the present moment.
The Rutang couple helped her a lot. Li Hua felt that this young couple was the guides sent by God to her. Maybe God couldn't bear it anymore and thought she was too miserable and shouldn't be bullied by the Zhang family, so he sent such good people to help her.
"There's no rush for food. Sister Hua, you have to be careful of the Zhang family coming to cause trouble. Zhang Lang was stunned by our attack and can't react yet, but his mother is not a pushover. She will definitely come to our house when she finds out."
Rutang’s analysis is very logical.
Although she had only met Zhang's mother once, Rutang had already seen through what kind of person Zhang's mother was.
The old lady will inevitably come and make a fuss, confuse right and wrong, cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself, and she might even morally blackmail Li Hua.
"You're right... How about this, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow. You guys don't have to run back and forth anymore, and you guys can move to the main house. I won't live here for the time being, and don't pay me rent. Just consider it as helping me look after the house."
"That's impossible!" Hao Mei waved her hands when she heard that someone wanted to provide a house for free.
Yu Yaoyang said nothing, but kept looking at Rutang.
If he moves here, can he sleep in the same bed with his wife?
The attraction was so great that he couldn't even be polite.
Rutang didn't say anything either, not because she was envious of Yaoyang's muscular body. Well, actually, she is a little greedy. Such a handsome guy, and the man she likes, it would be strange if she didn't have any thoughts.
But this is not the point. The point is that she thinks it is the best choice for Li Hua to hide away for a while.
"Why is it useless? If it weren't for your daughter and son-in-law, I would still be fooled by the Zhang family into drinking that harmful medicine. I went back to my parents' home to relax and think about what to do in the future. If you feel bad about living in the house for free, please do me a favor." Li Hua said sincerely, holding Hao Mei's hand.
"What can I help you with?" Yu Yaoyang and Rutang asked in unison.
Xiaoyue next to him touched his double chin and thought to himself, his brother's expression could probably only be described in one word, impatient?
