After riding for a few more minutes, Lin Yang finally saw the gate of the courtyard house.
At that moment, an old man with a bruised and swollen face stood at the door, while an old woman and her three younger brothers stood opposite him.
All that could be heard was an older woman speaking with an icy expression:
"Yi Zhonghai, whether you agree or not, I'm determined to get a divorce!"
"Didn't you want to support the Jia family? After we divorce, you can support them openly and legitimately!"
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was truly burning with anger.
Although he had already made his decision at the factory.
He wants to divorce an older woman.
But he didn't expect that he would be blocked at the door by an old lady as soon as he got off work.
This was an utter disgrace to him, who was so concerned about his image.
Looking at his brother-in-law, with whom he had fought at the factory earlier that day, Yi Zhonghai suddenly shouted:
"Fine, let's get a divorce! Lu Xiulan, let me tell you, it wasn't you who wanted a divorce!"
"It was I, Yi Zhonghai, who divorced you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiulan, the younger brother of the older woman who worked at the grain station, shouted sternly:
"Who do you think you are, Yi Zhonghai, to dare say you've divorced my sister?"
The older woman's younger brother, who worked at the neighborhood office, was quite shrewd. He sneered:
"Yi Zhonghai, what are you thinking? Do you think this is the Qing Dynasty? You want to divorce my sister?"
"I'm telling you, now it's only divorce! There's no such thing as 'reconciliation'!"
"Besides, even if there is such a thing as divorce, it's my sister who's divorcing her husband!"
"You shameless old man, you seduced a widow, gave her money, and you still have the nerve to talk about divorcing her!"
"That's really shameful!"
Jia Zhangshi, who had been watching the drama unfold, suddenly jumped out and said angrily:
"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by seducing a widow? Lao Yi and I are innocent!"
"He gave us money because he felt sorry for our Jia family!"
He then said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, don't be afraid, I won't let everyone misunderstand you."
"Pah!!" The older woman's younger brother, who worked at the steel mill, looked at Jia Zhangshi with disdain and said:
"Yi Zhonghai, you actually like this kind of guy?"
This statement may not be very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting.
Yi Zhonghai's temples throbbed with anger as he pointed at Jia Zhangshi and said, "What are you doing getting involved?!"
Then he looked at an older woman and said, "Lu Xiulan, whether it's divorce or reconciliation, the neighborhood office is closed now, so we'll go and complete the formalities tomorrow!"
"Don't worry about it!" The older woman's brother, who worked at the neighborhood office, shouted at Yi Zhonghai, then politely said to a middle-aged woman next to her, "Sister Sun, you've seen it too, could you please help me work overtime?"
Divorce procedures are actually quite simple these days.
They need to obtain a certificate from the local street office proving that the two people live on this street and that their relationship can no longer allow them to live together. They hope that the higher authorities will process the application.
Then you can stamp it with the official seal of the street office.
This Ms. Sun is from Nanluo Street. She agreed to come and visit because she knew the younger brother of the older woman.
If all goes well, she'll help out by working overtime.
Upon hearing this, Sister Sun coughed and looked at Yi Zhonghai and the older woman Lu Xiulan, saying:
"I understand what's going on between you two. Are you sure you want a divorce?"
Lu Xiulan spoke first: "I'm sure!"
Having made her decision, she wouldn't hesitate.
The neighbors were shocked to see this, since the woman was generally considered to have a very gentle personality.
Why did you suddenly become so assertive?
But Lin Yang knew that a woman who could raise her three younger brothers single-handedly could not possibly have such a soft personality.
The reason why, over the years, the personality of an older woman has been perceived as soft and gentle.
That's because she loved the old man and was giving him face in front of everyone.
But after so many years, the older woman has probably seen through the older man's true colors.
I don't love you anymore.
Then let's break up decisively!
At this moment, an old man also said forcefully, "I'm sure too!!"
Seeing that both of them agreed, Sister Sun didn't say anything more.
He simply said, "In that case, come with me to the street office. I'll issue you the necessary permits now."
Some people wanted to join in the fun, but Sister Sun simply said that the neighborhood office couldn't accommodate so many people.
Therefore, no one followed.
Lin Yang originally wanted to go and see what was going on, but after hearing what Sister Sun said, he didn't want to make a fool of himself and simply pushed the cart back into his house.
Since he wasn't hungry yet, Lin Yang took out a bag of sunflower seeds from his spatial storage and cracked them open while turning on the radio to pass the time.
Not long after, Lin Yang suddenly heard someone outside shouting something like "Director Wang".
Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice of Director Wang from the neighborhood office outside the door.
"Yangzi, are you home? I'm your Aunt Wang."
Putting down the sunflower seeds in his hand, Lin Yang pushed open the door with a hint of doubt and said, "Aunt Wang, what brings you here to see me?"
Director Wang, carrying a bag of frozen pears, smelled the aroma of sunflower seeds in the room and said with a smile, "I came to see you and brought you some frozen pears that a friend gave me. What's wrong, Yangzi? You're not happy to see me?"
"Welcome, welcome!" Lin Yang said with a smile. "How could I not welcome Aunt Wang?"
After helping Director Wang sit down, Lin Yang poured her some water and asked curiously, "Aunt Wang, did you see the old man in our courtyard when you came in?"
"Well, that's what I came here for." Director Wang said, then looked at Lin Yang and asked softly, "Yangzi, tell me the truth, why did Yi Zhonghai from your hospital divorce his wife?"
Lin Yang picked up a water glass and placed it in front of Director Wang, then said, "Aunt Wang, why are you suddenly interested in this?" He then pushed the sunflower seeds on the table next to Director Wang and said, "Aunt, have some sunflower seeds to eat, and we can chat while we eat."
