Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Yi Zhonghai knew that the news of his divorce could not be concealed.

So when someone asked where Zhao Guilan was going, he simply replied that she was divorced, and then left without looking back.

The news of Yi Zhonghai's divorce soon spread like wildfire in the courtyard.

Everyone was shocked to hear the news.

No one knew what was wrong with Yi Zhonghai.

They are getting divorced at such an old age.

There is no other example of this happening in the surrounding streets.

Yi Zhonghai also thought it through, it’s just a divorce.

What is this.

I am an eighth-level worker, which is rare in the factory.

If you want to remarry, it's easy.

Just as he thought, just a few days later Yan Fugui came to Yi Zhonghai to introduce him to a girl in order to earn a matchmaker fee.

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to be reserved, but when he heard that the woman Yan Fugui introduced was only one year younger than him.

Even after his grandson was able to play a supporting role, he was almost broken down by Yan Fugui.

Even if I were desperate, I would never remarry an old woman.

This is simply disgracing yourself.

In the end, he could only politely decline Yan Fugui's kindness.

What Yan Fugui didn't know was that the old man Yi Zhonghai was now obsessed with Qin Huairu.

But he had never been able to find a way to give Qin Huairu the drug.

The two families don't interact much now, so even if he wants to take action, he needs a chance.

Not to mention that Qin Huairu is avoiding him now.

On the other hand, after hearing that Yi Zhonghai was getting a divorce, Jia Zhang's mind started to work on something.

She didn't intend to take advantage of Zhao Guilan's departure to gain power.

She wasn't willing to do so, but at least she had some self-awareness.

As for that old dog Yi Zhonghai, I'm afraid he would only be interested in a woman as pretty as Huairu.

What Jia Zhang was interested in was Yi Zhonghai's money.

She has no income now and has to take painkillers every month to stay alive.

Thinking that Yi Zhonghai is single now and there is no woman to do the housework.

It would be nice to volunteer to do some laundry and cleaning for him to earn some pocket money.

If some sparks fly between the two of them, then the rest of my life would be settled.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang became a little excited.

So one day when Yi Zhonghai came home from get off work, Jia Zhang quietly came to Yi Zhonghai's room.

Yi Zhonghai was drinking water.

When he saw Jia Zhang come in, he was so scared that he almost spit water on her face.

"Sister Jia, what are you doing here?"

Jia Zhang showed what she thought was a kind smile and said:

"Lao Yi, I heard you are divorced, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was almost choked by her words.

This fat woman really can't talk.

"So what's the matter with you?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked, could it be that this Jia Zhang was here to laugh at him?

"That's right, Old Yi. I see that you live alone and don't have a woman to help you with housework. There are some things that need to be done by a woman."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai broke out in a cold sweat.

He thought to himself that maybe Jia Zhang was targeting him.

"So, I was thinking that why don't our two families live together? You can give me ten dollars a month, and I can help you with the laundry and housework. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to refuse, but then he thought that this was an opportunity for a breakthrough.

He was just worrying about how to get close to Qin Huairu. Now, wasn't Jia Zhang giving him a chance?

Yi Zhonghai's mind raced and his expression changed as he said:

"It's not impossible, but ten dollars is too much. With that much money, I can easily hire two people in the hospital."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she knew something was going to happen, so she said hastily:

"How about eight dollars? I tell you, no one in this hospital can outwork me, Zhang Cuihua."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless. You fat woman, how dare you say that?

He said he didn't know that all the work for the Jia family was done by Qin Huairu.

Although Yi Zhonghai wanted to take this opportunity to sleep with Qin Huairu.

But he also didn't want to waste too much money.

After some bargaining, Yi Zhonghai hired Jia Zhang to help with housework and laundry for five dollars a month.

The deal was done, and Jia Zhang happily left Yi Zhonghai's house.

Qin Huairu was left to do the cleaning and washing clothes, while she earned the money by just lying down.

The money for a bottle of painkillers every month is now available.

She feels happy just thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, when she returned home, Jia Zhang told Qin Huairu about this matter.

Qin Huairu simply shook her head and refused.

"You can wash it if you want. I have to take care of the housework after work. I don't have the time or energy to take care of him."

Qin Huairu's relationship with Jia Zhangshi is not very good now.

The relationship between the two of them was kept from falling out simply because of Bang Geng.

But Qin Huairu will not give Jia Zhang a good face now.

And Jia Zhang didn't dare to push too hard.

If Qin Huairu got angry and just abandoned her and married Sha Zhu.

Then she would lose more than she gained.

So Jia Zhang changed her strategy to a conciliatory one and said to Qin Huairu:

"Daughter-in-law, just help me. It's just a matter of washing clothes. Let me do Lao Yi's housework. You just need to help him wash his clothes."

Qin Huairu sneered and looked at Jia Zhang and said;

"There's no room for negotiation. If you want to earn the money, just wash the clothes yourself. I won't get the money from washing the clothes."

Qin Huairu naturally couldn't do housework for Yi Zhonghai, because she knew that this old man had always been plotting against her.

But because of her face, she never told this to Jia Zhang.

"you!!!"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she stood up and pointed at Qin Huairu and started to curse her.

But Qin Huairu didn't hush her at all. She just stood up and glared at Jia Zhang, refusing to give in.

Jia Zhang was helpless. She couldn't really turn against Qin Huairu just for these five dollars.

"Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself."

Jia Zhang sat back on the bed angrily and turned her head away, ignoring Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu sighed secretly, her mother-in-law was not an easy person to deal with, she hoped that she would not cause any more trouble.

If she didn't help, Jia Zhang would be reluctant to give up the five dollars.

Of course you have to do things yourself.

As a result, Jia Zhang went to Yi Zhonghai's house to help with housework the next day.

When she saw that Yi Zhonghai's house was as messy as a doghouse, especially the clothes piled up like mountains, Jia Zhang felt that she had too little money.

Doing this kind of work for five dollars would tire the old woman to death.

But for the sake of money, Jia Zhang finally gritted her teeth and persevered.

And Jia Zhang went in and out of Yi Zhonghai's house every now and then to do the laundry and cleaning.

The people in the courtyard were shocked at first, and then they suddenly understood why Jia Zhangshi would do housework for Yi Zhonghai.

Housework is not usually done by the wife.

Yi Zhonghai and Zhao Guilan divorced some time ago.

After the divorce, Jia Zhang came to Yi Zhonghai's house to work, acting like a hostess.

Then there is only one truth, Yi Zhonghai divorced Zhao Guilan for Jia Zhang!
