Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1173 Yi Zhonghai and Auntie Divorce
Yi Zhonghai has had a very bad reputation in recent years, but Auntie is very popular among the residents of the compound.

Even people like Liu Haizhong had to admit that the aunt was a good person.

That's why I'm speaking for the aunt.

But
Yi Zhonghai was annoyed by Liu Haizhong's scolding. He stiffened his neck and retorted, "Liu Haizhong, what do you know? You are not in my position. Do you know how bitter I feel? I was already furious because of what happened yesterday. She keeps nagging me. How can I not be annoyed?"

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, "Humph, you feel bitter? That auntie doesn't feel bitter? She has sacrificed so much for this family and for you. But you, when something goes wrong, you take it out on her and even threaten her with divorce. Now, you've made your fake reality, right? Are you satisfied?"

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he felt that what Liu Haizhong said made sense, and he was speechless for a moment.

An old lady beside him was moved and aggrieved when she heard what Liu Haizhong said. She couldn't help crying again. She choked up and said, "Liu Haizhong, thank you for speaking for me, but this matter... Alas, maybe it's fate."

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai's stubborn expression, then looked at the old lady crying silently, and sighed helplessly. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was angry at the moment and probably wouldn't listen to anyone, so he could only watch them go to the street office.

Yi Zhonghai walked in front with a sullen face and without saying a word, while the aunt followed behind with heavy steps with red and swollen eyes. It seemed as if there was an icy chasm between the two of them, and they no longer looked like the couple they used to be.

Soon, they arrived at the street office. Yi Zhonghai walked straight to Director Wang's office. When he reached the door, he reached out and turned the doorknob, only to find that the door was locked. He frowned, feeling an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

At this time, a staff member passed by and Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Comrade, why is Director Wang not in the office? We have something important to discuss with him."

The staff member stopped, looked at Yi Zhonghai and the aunt, and said, "Oh, Director Wang went to the district for a meeting. It will probably take a while for him to come back. If you have anything to do, please wait here."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he secretly groaned in his heart, but since things had come to this point, he could only sit down with the old lady on the bench at the door of Director Wang's office and wait for Director Wang to come back.

Half an hour passed in the dull and depressing atmosphere. Yi Zhonghai and the old lady sat on the bench. No one spoke, but each of them was immersed in complicated thoughts.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Director Wang hurried back with a briefcase. He saw Yi Zhonghai and Auntie sitting on the bench at the door. They looked strange. Yi Zhonghai had a gloomy face, while Auntie had red and swollen eyes, and endless sadness was in her eyes.

Director Wang couldn't help but frowned, feeling very strange, and hurriedly walked forward to ask: "Lao Yi, Auntie, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here? You look like you are in a bad mood, is there something wrong?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard Director Wang's voice, he slowly raised his head, glanced at Director Wang, lowered his head again, and was silent for a while before he said in a muffled voice: "Director Wang, we...we are here to go through the divorce procedures."

When Director Wang heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He really didn't expect that this couple, who had been together for most of their lives and seemed to be in harmony on weekdays, would suddenly end up getting a divorce.
He quickly sat down on the chair opposite Yi Zhonghai and Auntie, and said with concern: "Oh, this is really unexpected. Old Yi, Auntie, you two are an old couple, how did it come to this? Did something misunderstanding happen? You must tell me what's going on, don't make a decision on impulse."

When Auntie heard what Director Wang said, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She choked and said, "Director Wang, yesterday Lao Yi got into trouble with someone in the compound and was punished to sweep the yard. I complained to him a few words, and then he...he said he wanted to divorce me. I...I was fed up with his temper, so I agreed."

After listening to this, Director Wang sighed softly, feeling helpless and a little regretful. He glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, you are wrong. An old lady complained about you out of concern. How can you divorce her just because of this? It is inevitable for a couple to have some bumps and bumps. They should tolerate and understand each other."

Yi Zhonghai stiffened his neck and insisted stubbornly, "Director Wang, please stop trying to persuade me. I'm determined to get a divorce. I can't live with her anymore. It's annoying to hear her nagging me all day long. I'm determined this time."

When Director Wang heard this, his face suddenly darkened and his expression became very stern. He looked directly into Yi Zhonghai's eyes and criticized him mercilessly: "Yi Zhonghai, what are you talking about? Auntie has spent most of her life with you, and has been running this family for so many years. She is busy running around and taking care of your daily life. Can't you see that? Just because she complained about you a few times, you want to divorce her. You are too irresponsible and don't know how to cherish her!"

Yi Zhonghai felt a little guilty after hearing Director Wang's harsh words, but he still stubbornly retorted: "Director Wang, you don't know, I feel bitter too. I was already furious after what happened yesterday, and she keeps nagging me. I really can't stand it anymore."

Director Wang snorted coldly, "Hmph, you have suffering? Who doesn't? Who doesn't have troubles in life? But is this your reason for abandoning your relationship with your spouse? Isn't it because the auntie cares about you that she says those things? But you, not only don't appreciate it, but also threaten her with divorce, and now you really want to divorce her. Your behavior is really infuriating."

However, Yi Zhonghai still stiffened his neck and insisted stubbornly: "Director Wang, please stop talking. I have made up my mind. I must get a divorce. I really can't live with her anymore."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was immediately furious. He widened his eyes, pointed at Yi Zhonghai and said loudly: "You are so good, Yi Zhonghai, I told you so much, but you didn't listen to a word! Since you are so ungrateful and don't know how to cherish your family, I can't let you do whatever you want. I think you have a problem with your thinking. You need to go to the study class and learn what family responsibilities are and what husband-wife love is!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the word "study class", his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that was not a good place.
His face turned pale instantly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He waved his hands hurriedly, his voice trembling: "Director Wang, don't... don't! I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't send me to the study class. I... I won't divorce, is it okay?" Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked at the aunt who had been crying silently beside him, his eyes full of guilt, and stammered: "Child... Child's mother, I... I was confused just now, let's... let's not divorce, you... please forgive me this time."

The aunt originally thought that the marriage was over and was feeling sad and desperate, but she didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to suddenly have such a big change. She was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help sobbing again, but this time her sobs were more of a feeling of relief.

Director Wang saw that Yi Zhonghai finally gave in and his attitude changed, so he softened his expression a little, but still said seriously: "Humph, you are sensible. Yi Zhonghai, you must remember today's lesson and be nicer to Auntie in the future. Don't act impulsively because of trivial matters. If I hear about your divorce again, I won't let you go so easily."

Yi Zhonghai nodded hurriedly, saying, "Yes, yes, Director Wang, I'll remember that. I will live a good life in the future and never dare to do it again."

Yi Zhonghai hung his head and walked towards the compound with the aunt in a dejected manner. Along the way, the two of them didn't talk much. Although the atmosphere was still a bit dull, at least the divorce storm was temporarily calmed down, but there were still some knots in their hearts.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the third uncle standing in the courtyard chatting with a few neighbors. The third uncle was sharp-eyed and immediately saw Yi Zhonghai and the first aunt. He had heard that the two were going to the street office to get a divorce, and thought that the divorce had already been finalized.

The third uncle rushed over, grabbed the first aunt's arm, and said with a big smile on his face: "Hey, first aunt, how is it going? I heard that you got a divorce. Well, it's good to get a divorce, so you don't have to suffer that anger in the future. But don't worry, I just happen to have a suitable candidate here, and I want to introduce you to her."

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but before she could open her mouth, Yi Zhonghai beside her got furious.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes were as big as copper bells, he rushed forward, shook off the hands of the third uncle and the first aunt, and shouted: "Yan Bugui, what nonsense are you talking about here? Who wants a divorce? Huh? We are not getting a divorce, we are living a good life, why are you messing around here!"

The third uncle was startled by Yi Zhonghai's sudden action. He stepped back a few steps, looked at Yi Zhonghai in astonishment, and stammered, "Old Yi, you...what are you doing? I...I thought you two had divorced, so I wanted to introduce a partner to Auntie so that she would have someone to rely on in the future."

Yi Zhonghai still roared angrily: "What do you think? You think shit! When is it your turn to point fingers and make trouble for our marriage? Humph, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai so angry, the third uncle felt a little aggrieved. He muttered, "I just have good intentions. I saw that the lady was wronged, so I wanted to help her. Since you two are not divorced, forget it. Why are you so angry?"

When the neighbors heard the noise, they all gathered around and talked in low voices as they looked at the tense situation between Yi Zhonghai and the third uncle.

Auntie stood aside awkwardly. She wiped the tears from her face and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, don't be so angry. Uncle San also means well. He doesn't know that we are still together."

Yi Zhonghai snorted, glared at the third uncle, then turned around and walked home angrily. Auntie sighed helplessly and followed Yi Zhonghai home, leaving the third uncle standing there, shaking his head helplessly, thinking to himself that this matter was really a mess and his good intentions had led to bad results.

Of course, what the third uncle regretted was the two dollars of matchmaking money that he was about to get.

"Oh, that old man Chen is much richer than Yi Zhonghai, and he is also the section chief in the factory. If Auntie really follows Section Chief Chen, she will definitely enjoy a good life."

While the Third Uncle was secretly regretting, Jia Zhang came back from outside and heard the Third Uncle's muttering. Her ears perked up immediately, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "Oh, there is such a good thing? This Section Chief Chen sounds like he has good conditions. If I can marry him, my family and I will have a good life."

Jia Zhang ran over and grabbed Third Uncle's arm, saying anxiously, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, that Section Chief Chen you just mentioned sounds very good. Can you introduce him to me? I've been a widow for so many years, and it's time for me to find someone to rely on. Please help me."

The third uncle was startled by Jia Zhang's sudden pull. He turned his head to look at Jia Zhang, frowned and said, "Jia Zhang, what are you doing? I just said I was introducing her to the aunt, not you. Besides, how can you just introduce someone else so casually? Don't get involved."

Jia Zhang was relentless. She grabbed Third Uncle's arm tightly, shook him and said, "Third Uncle, please be kind. Look how hard my life is. I have to raise a child by myself, and my family is so poor. If I could be with Section Chief Chen, I would be able to get out of this hardship. Please introduce him to me, I beg you."

The third uncle looked helpless. He tried to break free from Jia Zhang's hand and said, "Jia Zhang, let me go first and listen to me. Section Chief Chen has conditions. I only wanted to introduce her to me because I saw that Auntie was a good person and a decent woman. You don't match her conditions. This matter is really not going to work. Stop making a fuss."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes widened immediately. She raised her voice and said, "Third Uncle, are you looking down on me? Why can't Auntie do it? How am I worse than her? If you don't introduce Section Chief Chen to me, I will never forgive you!"

The third uncle was annoyed by Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior. He frowned and said unhappily, "Jia Zhang, don't you look at yourself? You dare to ask me to introduce Section Chief Chen to you? Everyone in this compound knows what your reputation is."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but she still said stubbornly, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? What's wrong with me? Why can't I let you introduce me to someone?"

Jia Zhang really wanted to marry the leader.
