Yi Zhonghai was initially unwilling to attend today's meeting. He knew Qin Huairu's thoughts, but once the meeting was held, Sha Zhu's reputation would be completely ruined, which would indirectly affect Yi Zhonghai's prestige.
However, with Qin Huairu insisting and Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui stirring things up, the meeting still went ahead. Right from the start, Sha Zhu was targeted by everyone, which was something Yi Zhonghai hadn't expected.
"Grandpa, I'm truly innocent!" Sha Zhu began to protest his innocence.
“I just went to the school to do some good deeds, helping to guide students in class and maintain order, and then some people with ulterior motives accused me of having illicit relationships. If that’s the case, who will dare to do good deeds in the future? Isn’t that right, Uncle San?” Sha Zhu questioned Yan Fugui.
“Shazhu, I’ve inquired about your affairs and found that there are many discrepancies between what you said and what you said. First, do you specifically choose to do volunteer work when there are female teachers around? Second, did you bribe the security guard to keep an eye on the female teachers’ whereabouts?” Yan Fugui said righteously.
Sha Zhu hadn't expected that the security guard would immediately tell everyone what he'd done that afternoon. Actually, he'd wrongly accused the security guard.
In the afternoon, when Sha Zhu went to chat with the gatekeeper, he happened to bump into Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui had been observing the situation from the sidelines, and then appeared after Sha Zhu left. Between a few packs of cigarettes and work, the gatekeeper decisively betrayed Sha Zhu.
Seeing that Yan Fugui was questioning him like this, Sha Zhu knew that there were some things he couldn't deny, but he didn't want to be labeled as such.
"I had my reasons for all of that. The female teacher is a senior teacher, so it's normal for me to focus on her. It's to have good communication with her and to help my students learn better."
However, if Qin Huairu truly doesn't trust me, then I'm willing to get a divorce.
Sha Zhu knew some things couldn't be explained in the end, so he simply brought up divorce. This divorce was the result of his thoughts that morning while lying in bed; only through divorce could he pursue his true love.
Even if we assume that Ran Qiuye doesn't want to be with him after the divorce, with his current circumstances, he could easily find a young, unmarried woman. Why waste his time with that fat woman, Qin Huairu?
To this day, Qin Huairu has not given him a single child. Perhaps having too many children has damaged her health.
Sha Zhu's suggestion of divorce surprised everyone present. They all thought it would just be a reprimand, something to be done next time, but Sha Zhu really was going to do something unconventional.
"Divorce? You silly Zhu, how could you say that? I've wasted my youth on you these past few years, and now that I'm old and faded, you think you can just walk away like that? Not so easy."
"I'm telling you, I'm going to the factory today to report you for having affairs. I'll make sure you lose your job as deputy director of the canteen. Once you're just a regular cook, see if any girls will still be throwing themselves at you," Qin Huai said angrily.
She suspected that Sha Zhu had other ideas, but she hadn't expected him to propose divorce in front of so many people. If they divorced, she would become a third-hand woman, and her value would be severely diminished. Therefore, divorce was absolutely out of the question.
"If you're not going to divorce me, then why did you put on this show today? Just to make me look bad? What good does it do you, Qin Huairu, to embarrass me!"
Sha Zhu was a little confused about Qin Huairu's tactics. He was prepared to be ripped off by Qin Huairu and then escape. With his current status, wouldn't he be able to turn things around in a very short time?
"Today I'm going to get everyone to stand up for me. Gentlemen, look at Sha Zhu's attitude, he doesn't seem to feel any remorse at all, it's as if I, Qin Huairu, am the one who's been messing around outside." Qin Huairu looked at the three gentlemen.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui looked at each other, unable to come up with a solution. This fool Zhu seemed completely unconcerned, even threatening divorce; he had already played his hand. What could they do?
"Does anyone have any opinions?" In the end, Yan Fugui came up with a good idea and mobilized the masses.
The neighbors downstairs were already impatient and annoyed with Sha Zhu. When asked, their first reaction wasn't to give an answer, but to viciously curse Sha Zhu as inhuman, shameless, and despicable.
Sha Zhu looked completely bewildered, wondering why everyone was so indignant. Having dealt with many leaders over the years, he naturally knew what kind of people they were; many of them were keeping their wives at home while having affairs on the side.
Leaving aside other people, just look at Li Xuewu; he's been with so many women that you can't count them on one hand. Everyone knows about Liu Lan, for example. But no one seems to have any complaints about Li Xuewu; on the contrary, they're quite envious of him in private.
Why is it that when it comes to Sha Zhu, he gets attacked? Is this a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden even to light lamps"?
