As the demolition date approached, the villagers of Xixia Village finally finished their last season of grape harvesting.
At this time, everyone was eagerly awaiting the news. A large number of demolition offices moved into the village office. After confirmation, the demolition offices immediately announced that each household would use the residential area as evidence and the homestead property certificate as important demolition proof.
The crowd was in an uproar. Some people had already made ample preparations and were just waiting for the demolition office to come and measure the demolition area. In order to ensure that everyone could receive more favorable compensation, the demolition office suggested that they divorce in order to get compensation. It should be noted that when a couple is a household, the property certificate belongs to them jointly. However, divorce is different. They can get an extra household, an extra house, about 90 square meters, and more than 300,000 yuan in compensation.
Upon hearing this, the villagers were immediately alarmed and rushed home to discuss countermeasures. In no time, the entire Xixia Village was abuzz with rumors, and everyone secretly took their marriage certificates to apply for divorce. On the surface, this divorce was a sham divorce agreed upon by the couple, but legally it was a real divorce.
Early that morning, Huang Minghao's childhood friend A Jing and Cao Gang both called him, and the group agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to process their divorces.
Huang Minghao was stunned upon hearing this, feeling a deep sense of desolation. Others were discussing a fake divorce, but he was getting a real one. Realizing that there was no longer any possibility between him and Jiang Shuya, he was in a daze and felt sad for many days.
Inside the Huang family's courtyard, Huang Minghao sat on the living room sofa, smoking and quietly listening to his parents arguing.
It turned out that Huang Guohua wanted to go with the flow and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, but Li Yuxiang refused, because she thought Huang Guohua was unreliable and she was afraid that he would not remarry her after the divorce.
"You idiot, look around! Even the young couples around here are getting divorced. We've been married for decades, what are we afraid of? It's a house plus hundreds of thousands of yuan, where am I supposed to earn that kind of money? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Huang Guohua sniffed, his face contorted with rage, while Li Yuxiang, holding Tangtang in her arms, also shouted loudly;
"You spendthrift! You didn't do anything right with that money. You never intended to leave it to Hao Hao. Do you think I didn't know? You wanted to go out and fool around again. When you were young, you indulged in drinking, gambling, and whoring. Now that you're old and have money, you want to repeat the same mistakes, don't you?"
Sitting to the side, Huang Minghao had a splitting headache from listening to this. He threw down his cigarette butt, looking annoyed, and said;
"Stop arguing! There isn't a single grapevine on that wasteland near my house by the Jiajiang Bridge. You're still arguing here? Hurry up and find someone to transplant grape seedlings to that wasteland. Otherwise, do you think they'll compensate you for the seedlings?"
Huang Guohua came to his senses and said;
"Where can we get grape seedlings now? Everyone's transplanting grapevines into their unused vegetable plots. That wasteland is huge, where are we going to find them?"
Li Yuxiang's eyes darted around, and she suddenly became alert;
"Oh, I remember now, Zhang Xiaohui's family has some. Last year, Xiaoya helped her family sell grapes, and I saw she was cultivating a lot of seedlings in her private plot. Haohao, why don't you call Xiaoya and ask her to talk to Zhang Xiaohui? They're running a shop together now, they'll definitely agree."
After hearing this, Huang Minghao hesitated and picked up the phone to call Jiang Shuya. Unexpectedly, the call was hung up. He frowned and then went to Zhang Xiaohui's house in person.
Jiang Shuya was busy at the cashier's counter in the Leshan Road store. The store was packed with people in the morning. Since Sun Qi launched several kinds of pan-fried delicacies, they have been favored by the surrounding people.
Zhang Xiaohui is now the head chef of this restaurant. Today she is off work and staying at home. She did not expect Huang Minghao to come to her door, so she called the cashier. Jiang Shuya answered the phone and heard that Huang Minghao wanted to buy her family's grape seedlings. Jiang Shuya immediately understood. She calculated the time. At this time, the Jiangdao relocation office came to the village. The next step was to measure the land from house to house and calculate the seedling fee.
"Sister Xiaohui, you can sell it to him. You can decide the price yourself; you don't need to discuss it with me."
Jiang Shuya finished speaking hurriedly and then hung up the phone.
Zhang Xiaohui understood immediately after hearing this. She glanced at Huang Minghao standing in the courtyard, sighed, and walked over.
"Come on, I'll take you there. You can find someone to dig it up yourself."
Huang Minghao was pleasantly surprised that Zhang Xiaohui agreed so readily.
"Sister-in-law Luo, how much is each sapling? I'll settle the bill and pay you later."
Zhang Xiaohui waved her hand;
"It's free. I'll give it to you out of respect for Xiaoya. She's helped me a lot; this is nothing."
Her refusal made Huang Minghao a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head:
"Oh, that's not a good idea. She is her, and I am me."
Zhang Xiaohui sneered;
"I know you're divorced, right? I'm a few years older than you, and you call me sister-in-law. Don't think I'm being long-winded, but your whole family is blind. You didn't cherish such a good girl like Xiaoya, and you treated her like that. You're so cruel. Everyone at the door says you're good-looking and loyal, but in my opinion, you really don't deserve her."
Huang Minghao's face darkened upon hearing this, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. He lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I didn't treat her well before, and I regret it now. Please help me persuade her. I'm waiting for her. As long as she comes back, I will cherish her."
Zhang Xiaohui sighed deeply, shook her head, and looked helpless.
"I'm afraid you can never get back together."
In the afternoon, Jiang Shuhuai rushed to the store to find Jiang Shuya, and went to the dormitory on the third floor with a mysterious look on his face.
"Sister, we have evidence. Li Xiaoru took the money. The security cameras in my room recorded everything. Look, I put the remaining money from last time in the same spot, and she secretly went in and took it again. She has my key; she must have taken it from your room. Don't you never lock your room upstairs?"
Jiang Shuya remembered that the last time she went to Xixia Village to get a change of clothes, the drawers and closets were in a mess, and she definitely didn't see the key.
"Save the footage from the camera first. I'll go and confront her myself."
The scene of Li Xiaoru spying in the video made Jiang Shuya's brow twitch. This wasn't stealing at all; it was like she was just being friendly, taking things as if they were her own. There was no hint of malice or guilt on her part.
Jiang Shuhuai clenched his fists in anger:
"That Li Xiaoru is truly despicable. She's taken my money time and time again. She seems like a habitual thief. You've been so good to her, even my mom feels sorry for her and gives her money. What have we done to wrong her? No, I'm going to tell my mom about this and make her kick her out of Xixia Village."
Jiang Shuya interrupted him;
"Let's not talk about it for now. My mom has a very strong temper; she won't tolerate any nonsense. If she finds out, my uncle's whole family will be in trouble. Let's wait another day, and I'll go talk to her in person first."
