Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 70 I want a divorce from Jia Dongxu!

"That's true!"

Sha Zhu quickly recovered and praised Shen Zhishou, "Comrade Shen, you are really good to your wife. No one in this courtyard can compare!"

That's absolutely true!

Sha Zhu is a man who always speaks the truth!

He Yushui stood to the side and couldn't help but glance at Shen Zhishou a few more times.

Since Shen Zhishou moved into the courtyard house, she hadn't really had much contact with him. Last time when she had breakfast at the Shen family's house, she didn't dare to stare at Shen Zhishou, but she felt that Shen Zhishou was very different.

Looking back now, He Yushui feels that Shen Zhishou is truly different.

In other households, the tasks of preparing fish and cooking would be done by the woman.

Why are you asking why Sha Zhu is dealing with chickens?

Sha Zhu is a professional chef; his job is to cook. If he doesn't do these things, who will?

"By the way, Mr. He, shouldn't Yushui be looking for a job by now? Do you have any plans?"

Shen Zhishou changed the subject and inquired about He Yushui's work.

In the story, He Yushui went to work at a textile factory.

But how should I put it?

Working in a textile factory is by no means easy.

In his past life, Shen Zhishou watched a fairly good period drama called "The People of the Alley". The female lead worked in a textile factory, which was really tiring.

With her thin and bony figure, it would be understandable if He Yushui were to work as a clerk in a textile factory, but clearly, that's not the case.

High school graduation doesn't guarantee job placement. The only way she could get a job in a textile factory was by working in the workshop.

Whether He Yushui found this job herself or Sha Zhu helped her is not explained in the plot, which is why Shen Zhishou asked this question.

Sha Zhu paused for a moment upon hearing Shen Zhishou's question, then turned to He Yushui and said, "Yushui, do you have any ideas?"

"What thoughts could I possibly have?"

He Yushui rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu.

As for jobs, it's good enough if we can find any. Who do they think they are, to be picky?

"Hey, just tell me whatever I ask. I know a few leaders, so I can find you a decent job. We need to start planning as soon as possible!"

"Well, I told you!"

He Yushui immediately thought of Yu Haitang's previous work requests.

Not hard, not tiring, not dirty, and the salary requirements aren't high!

Of course, there aren't any specific requirements.

Everyone who just joined the factory was an apprentice!

"Forget about your request, never mind!"

When Sha Zhu heard He Yushui's request, he was speechless. A job that wasn't hard, tiring, or dirty—did such a job even exist? He wanted to find one too!

"Comrade Shen, please excuse my naiveté; my sister is still too innocent!"

Sha Zhu glanced at Shen Zhishou somewhat embarrassedly, thinking that his sister was being a bit far-fetched.

Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "Master He, I think Yushui is right. What young girl would look for a job that's hard, tiring, and dirty? Those are jobs for us men!"

"Brother, look, even Brother Shen knows more than you!"

Hearing Shen Zhishou's words, He Yushui felt as if she had found a pillar of support and immediately started chirping Shazhu.

Sha Zhu was even more speechless.

"Come on, tell me, what job isn't hard, tiring, or dirty?"

"How would I know?"

He Yushui snorted, "You're the one who said you knew a few leaders!"

"And another thing, you asked me what my thoughts were about work. I didn't say anything before, and you blamed me. Now that I've said anything, you still blame me. You're really hard to please!"

He Yushui has figured out how to deal with a woman's unreasonable demands!

Poor Sha Zhu, this is probably the first time he's ever experienced this!

Shen Zhishou watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

These brother and sister are quite amusing.

……

Meanwhile, the Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi's plump face was filled with sorrow.

Ever since Jia Dongxu was arrested, Jia Zhangshi has never had a smile on her face.

The entire Jia family was shrouded in a gloomy and somber atmosphere.

Looking at Qin Huairu, who was sitting on the kang holding Xiaodang without moving, Jia Zhangshi took a deep breath and slowly said, "Huairu, given our family's current situation, I'm afraid we can no longer stay in the city."

"I want a divorce from Jia Dongxu!"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Qin Huairu suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with a fierce and resolute look, as if she were a widow.

When Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu's eyes, she was startled.

"OK!"

A moment later, Jia Zhangshi responded, "However, I can't give you the stick, but I can give you the small one!"

It seems I can't count on my son for the time being.

She could no longer stay in the city and had to return to the village.

Although bringing Qin Huairu along would provide an extra person to do the work, Qin Huairu had married into their family specifically to avoid farming, and even if she went back to the village, she wouldn't earn many work points.

In Jia Zhangshi's view, Qin Huairu was a burden.

Since it's a burden, we have to get rid of it.

And then there's Xiao Dang, who was already a money-losing commodity. Now he's so young, he can't do any work, so we can't keep him.

"good!"

Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhangshi for a long time before finally agreeing.

She didn't know if Yu Li's promises still held true, but she had no choice.

If there's no hope left with Yu Li, then we can only rely on Sha Zhu!

Qin Huairu did not consider Sha Zhu as her first choice because she knew very well that although Sha Zhu desired her body, he never thought of marrying her.

Even if she's divorced!

In Sha Zhu's mind, he was capable of marrying a virgin.

The Jia family's house now belongs to the steel rolling mill.

Once Jia Dongxu is fired from the steel mill and loses his job, the house will naturally be taken back.

Jia Zhangshi did consider causing trouble at the steel mill, but in the end she didn't dare to go.

The reason, naturally, is that the fault lies with Jia Dongxu.

She's being unreasonable and argumentative. Leaving aside what the steel mill's security department will do, the neighborhood committee will immediately send her back to her village. If she's really forcibly sent back to her village by the neighborhood committee, she'll lose all face.

How will she continue to live her life in the village after this?

Looking at Qin Huairu, who had lowered her head again, Madam Jia spoke once more: "When you married into our family, you didn't bring any dowry. Now that you want to divorce Dongxu, then leave the way you came!"

"On what grounds?"

Qin Huairu suddenly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Jia Zhangshi. "I, Qin Huairu, married into the Jia family, bore children for the Jia family, did laundry, cooked, and cleaned the house. I have done my duty and hard work. You think you can just dismiss me like this? No way!"

"If you push me too far, I'll report you to the neighborhood committee right now!"

Since they're already getting a divorce, they'll be two separate families from now on, so Qin Huairu won't care what Jia Zhangshi thinks.

She herself didn't care, but Xiao Dang needed to eat.

She can't just leave with nothing!

Jia Zhangshi naturally feared the neighborhood committee, and when she heard that Qin Huairu was going to sue them, she panicked immediately. However, despite her inner turmoil, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Haven't we provided for your food and clothing?"

"fart!"

Qin Huairu immediately resorted to profanity, "Jia Zhangshi, I'm telling you this right now: half of the Jia family's assets belong to me. Otherwise, I'll go to the neighborhood committee and cause a scene!"

"Since I've already lost everything, I'm not afraid to make a big fuss!"
