"Brother Guohui, my sister's house has been occupied by my father, and my father wants my sister to marry Liu Laosan from West Street. Brother Guohui, for the sake of our past relationship, please help my sister!" Seeing Yu Meiru's indifferent expression, Xu Meiqin felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Yu Meiru, not to mention that she still had to ask Zhao Guohui for help. Liu Laosan from West Street was almost the same age as Xu Laolai, and he was a ruthless person. Everyone in Sanhe Town knew that Liu Laosan's ex-wife was beaten to death by him? Xu Laolai wanted Xu Liqin to marry Liu Laosan. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to force Xu Liqin to die?
However, Xu Meiqi was also sensible. After knowing that Yu Meiru was Zhao Guohui's new wife, Xu Meiqi immediately changed the way she addressed Zhao Guohui back.
There was no other way. Xu Laolai was fearless, but he was afraid of Zhao Guohui getting angry. If he wanted Xu Laolai to change his mind, Zhao Guohui would have to step in.
"Your sister's house?" Zhao Guohui was stunned. Could it be what he thought? When they divorced, Zhao Guohui was planning to move out of town, so he lent his house in Sanhe Town to Xu Liqin for temporary residence. The house belonged to Zhao Qingshan, and Zhao Guohui had agreed with Xu Liqin that he would only lend it to her for a period of time and move out once Xu Liqin found a place. Of course, whenever Zhao Guohui needed to use the house, he had the right to ask Xu Liqin to move out immediately.
"Brother-in-law, oh no! Brother Guohui, it's your house. My dad kicked my sister out a few days ago and moved in with my eldest brother and his family." Xu Meiqi was so anxious that she couldn't speak clearly, but at least she could explain the general idea.
Zhao Guohui's rage suddenly rose. He had already told Xu Liqin that the house could only be occupied by Xu Liqin, and no one else in the Xu family could live in it. It had only been a few months, and Xu Laolai had the audacity to occupy the magpie's nest?
"Xiaoru, go to the restaurant in front and wait for me. I'll go and take care of the house matters first." After Zhao Guohui said this to Yu Meiru, he prepared to follow Xu Meicen.
"I'll go too." At the critical moment, Yu Meiru made a quick judgment with a calm mind. Judging from the situation, Zhao Guohui was going to find trouble with the Xu family. As Zhao Guohui's newly-wed daughter-in-law, how could Yu Meiru miss the opportunity to see her husband follow his lead?
Zhao Guohui initially hadn't planned to bring Yu Meiru along, fearing she'd be disgusted by the scoundrel nature of Xu Laolai's family. But when Yu Meiru offered to go along, Zhao Guohui suddenly felt a surge of energy. The thought of the couple going together excited Zhao Guohui!
During the few months in City N, Zhao Guohui realized that Yu Meiru was not as weak as she appeared. When Yu Meiru became tough, few people could withstand her anger, including Zhao Guohui himself.
The three of them, one in front and two behind, walked towards Zhao Guohui's house. Xu Meiqin seemed anxious, almost wanting to jog all the way there. Compared to Xu Meiqin, Zhao Guohui and his wife seemed a bit more relaxed. Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru walked side by side, their pace not slow, but not at all hurried. Most importantly, Zhao Guohui kept talking to Yu Meiru the whole way, mostly telling her about the embarrassing things that happened to him when he was a child living in Sanhe Town.
Xu Meiqin's face was gloomy. In just a few minutes, Xu Meiqin could see that Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru had a very good relationship. Zhao Guohui's attitude towards Meiru was one of admiration mixed with cautious flattery, like a child waiting for praise, carefully showing the side of himself that he thought was good in front of Yu Meiru. A slight smile from Yu Meiru could make Zhao Guohui dance with joy. The doting look in Zhao Guohui's eyes when he stared at Yu Meiru was something that Xu Liqin and Zhao Guohui had never experienced in all the years they had been married.
Yu Meiru looked at Xu Meiqin, who kept turning back to look at them, and reminded him, "Brother Guohui, should we walk faster? Look, everyone is getting anxious."
"It's okay, the house is there and they can't run away. As for Xu Liqin's affairs, it's no longer my business. Even if I'm not here, I think they will be able to solve it themselves." Zhao Guohui shook his head and continued to follow Yu Meiru's footsteps at a leisurely pace. If the Xu family's affairs did not involve Zhao Guohui's house this time, Zhao Guohui really didn't want to intervene.
Zhao Guohui felt that if Xu Liqin couldn't think straight and always let Xu Laolai have his way, even if he helped her this time, given Xu Laolai's character, there would be trouble again soon. The most important thing Xu Liqin should do is not tolerate Xu Laolai's exploitation of her. Only when Xu Liqin learned to resist would Xu Laolai not dare to make plans against her.
After the divorce, Zhao Guohui had thought deeply about his relationship with Xu Liqin. To be honest, if Xu Laolai hadn't been so stubborn, Zhao Guohui might not have divorced Xu Liqin. Zhao Guohui was a responsible man. When he married Xu Liqin, he thought about being responsible for her for the rest of her life. But when did their marriage change?
In the three years since Zhao Guohui and Xu Liqin's marriage, Xu Laolai had repeatedly gotten into trouble, and Zhao Guohui had to deal with it. Xu Laolai himself didn't dare make any demands in front of Zhao Guohui, but he was completely rude to Xu Liqin. Xu Liqin had gotten used to it; whenever Xu Laolai wanted something, she would find a way to get it for him. These things, in fact, weren't a big deal; Zhao Guohui, having married Xu Liqin, was mentally prepared for these chaotic events.
It was Xu Erwang's incident that chilled Zhao Guohui's heart. Xu Erwang had stolen Zhao Guohui's official seal, forged a false bill of lading, and taken a truckload of goods from the supply and marketing cooperative, leading to Zhao Guohui being summoned to the police station. Far from standing by Zhao Guohui, Xu Liqin, relying on her unborn child, demanded that Zhao Guohui take the blame for Xu Erwang. In that moment, Zhao Guohui realized that Xu Liqin didn't love him at all. In her heart, he, Zhao Guohui, was perhaps just a tool to help her solve the Xu family's problems.
Fortunately, they are still young, and it is not too late. Even if they get divorced, they can still have their own happiness. Zhao Guohui glanced at Yu Meiru beside him, with a sweet smile on his face.
When Zhao Guohui and his friends arrived near their house, they found that a large group of people had gathered in the alley to watch the fun.
Zhao Guohui's house, a single-story building with a five-room yard and a kitchen, was considered first-class housing in Sanhe Town. Sanhe Town was a densely populated place with limited land, so every household had limited space. For example, Xu Laolai's house had only three rooms: two bedrooms and a kitchen.
Old Lai Xu lived a muddle-headed life. All he did when he got his salary was gambling and eating and drinking. His family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy a piece of land to build a new house.
