Chapter 662: Courtyard 38
For the sake of my wife and children, what's the harm in enduring this time?
Just like what my wife said, it is not convenient to do it openly, and we can't put a sack on Yi Zhonghai and beat him to the point of paralysis in secret.
Sha Zhu's open-mindedness won him praise from most of his neighbors, who all said he was kind and righteous.
Humans have always been accustomed to looking for reasons in others.
After realizing that they had misunderstood Sha Zhu in the past and that his character was not as bad as he had shown before, the neighbors all felt that Yi Zhonghai had misled them.
Invisibly, more people began to curse Yi Zhonghai, while more people began to truly interact with Sha Zhu's family.
After getting to know him, I realized that Sha Zhu really had no bad intentions. No matter who had problems at home and asked for help, he would really help.
He just really doesn't know how to express himself, and even with good intentions, his noisy behavior can cause misunderstandings.
The aunties in the yard will also come over and ask how the preparations for giving birth are going, whether they need help, etc.
There are people who call Shazhu stupid, and Xu Damao is one of them.
But Shazhu doesn't care.
Now, the most important thing to him is his wife and children, and everything else has to take a back seat.
As for Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, although Sha Zhu said that he would not pursue the matter of drugging someone, it was already 1966 and if a man and a woman were caught having an improper relationship, they would be subject to very severe punishment.
The last time Qin Huairu was caught having an affair in the factory, the steel mill handled the matter internally and did not parade her through the streets.
But this time the incident has become so big that many activists are keeping an eye on it.
After the investigation results come out, parades are inevitable.
In order to prevent things from getting worse and letting everyone know about their scandal, Yi Zhonghai simply got a marriage certificate with Qin Huairu.
In this way, at least the scandal was covered up.
Qin Huairu's thoughts were even simpler.
Although Yi Zhonghai's hand was disabled and he lost his job, he had a high salary before and had saved a lot of money, so it was not a problem for him to help her raise several children. So he agreed very readily.
The fact that the old lady had escaped was naturally also discovered.
An aunt gave this explanation.
"Comrade, I have no other options. I've seen Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's scandal before.
I want a divorce, but Yi Zhonghai refuses to agree.
But seeing these two people flirting with each other, I feel really bad.
There was no other way, so I just wanted to stay away from them, out of sight, out of mind, and it would also make my life easier.
I know what I did was wrong, and I will accept any punishment you give me, but please don't ask me to go back and face Yi Zhonghai again."
Of course, investigators will not just listen to the one-sided story of the aunt.
They went to the yard and conducted some investigation. Combining the information provided by the aunt, they found that she was not lying.
So, divorce procedures were completed for Yida Ma and Yi Zhonghai.
However, it is impossible not to punish an old lady who travels around and obtains a fake identity without being punished.
The two young female comrades who were in charge of the aunt were very sympathetic to her situation and understood her.
So they only gave her the lightest punishment symbolically and issued a divorce certificate between her and Yi Zhonghai.
After finishing all the things, when Auntie was about to go back to Jinshi, they bought some fruits and went to the station to see her off.
They encourage the aunties to look forward, they are optimistic about their rebellious spirit, and they think that this is what women in the new era should be like, etc.
Yi Zhonghai was fired from the factory. The house he lived in was a staff housing allocated by the factory, so he naturally could no longer live there.
The Jia family’s house is also staff housing and faces the fate of being repossessed.
The factory gave them a month to find a house to move to.
Yi Zhonghai was used to living here, so he found a street and rented a room and a half less than a hundred meters away from No. 95 Courtyard.
However, I still need to clean up the new house I found, so I haven’t moved in yet.
The room where Qin Huairu originally lived had been allocated to a new employee by the factory, so she had to move all her things to Yi Zhonghai's place.
The next day, she went to the countryside to pick up Banggeng and his children.
Although Jia Zhangshi did not come back with her, she put forward two conditions after learning that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were married:
First, he must send her ten dollars every month;
Second, Banggeng’s children must be raised, and they can never change their surnames, they can only have the surname Jia.
Qin Huairu promised to raise the children and not change their surname.
But she felt embarrassed about giving ten dollars a month.
Asking your current husband to support your ex-husband's biological mother is not an easy task for anyone.
However, Jia Zhang would not let Qin Huairu take the children away unless she agreed.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree, because she found that if she didn't agree, not only would she not be able to take the child away, she might not even be able to leave the village, because everyone here was a member of the Jia family.
After being released, Yi Zhonghai has been very depressed and stayed in the house all day. Since he appeared in the yard once on the day he came back, he has never been seen out again.
He didn't speak until Qin Huairu told him about Jia Zhang's request.
"It's your business to support Old Madam Jia. I won't interfere or ask about it.
I've lost my job now, and the little money I saved has to be used for the rest of my life. I don't have the money to support an old lady who is not even remotely related to me."
What Yi Zhonghai said made sense, but Qin Huairu didn't expect him to be so heartless and just ignore it.
Banggeng hid in the corner, staring at Yi Zhonghai with hatred in his eyes.
Because before coming back, Jia Zhang told Banggeng that all the money collected from here should be saved for him.
Now that Yi Zhonghai says he won’t give it, doesn’t that mean his money is gone?
He remembered this incident.
Qin Huairu sat on the chair for a while, and seeing that there was no room for maneuver on Yi Zhonghai's side, she sighed.
"I understand. I'll go to the street to get some work tomorrow and won't make things difficult for you.
You haven't eaten well these past two days, I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
She thought of appeasing Yi Zhonghai first, and then slowly discussing the matter of giving money to Jia Zhangshi after their relationship eased.
Yi Zhonghai didn't say much, just said to just make something to eat and let the matter be for the time being.
On the day of moving, all the other things had already been moved onto the borrowed truck.
Yi Zhonghai asked Qin Huairu and the others to take the children away first, and he stayed to see if there was anything left behind.
Qin Huairu was a little confused. All their belongings in the house had been moved out, and she checked twice to see if anything was left behind.
But I didn't ask much.
After spending these days with Yi Zhonghai, she discovered that Yi Zhonghai was really different from what she knew before.
It’s best not to ask too much about his affairs. Even if you know something, don’t say it out loud. Just keep it in your heart, otherwise he will definitely be unhappy.
"Okay, then we'll go over there first, and you should come back early."
