After the fried chicken shop closed, Tang Yanling excused herself to go to the restroom and went out to inquire about the situation.

He remembered that Qiao Kai from No. 93 Courtyard was standing in front of the fried chicken shop at the time.

"Brother Qiao, tell me, what did Xu Damao mean back then?"

Qiao Kai was hesitant to talk about this.

Before Banggeng got married, Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai had already hinted at it.

Anyone who dares to disrupt Bang Geng's wedding will be harassed at their home.

The two elderly people, both nearing eighty, were not to be trifled with.

"Yanling, my family doesn't live in your courtyard, so I don't know either."

Besides, I was too young then to remember anything from back then.

"So, there's something going on between the Jia family and the He family, is that right?"

Tang Yanling was also a smart person, and she could tell immediately that Qiao Kai was not telling the truth.

"Oh dear, Yanling, don't ask. Outsiders don't know what's going on in your courtyard." Qiao Kai thought to himself that he had almost let something slip.

He was afraid he couldn't hold on, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Tang Yanling knew that she wouldn't get any results without taking drastic measures.

She said to Qiao Kai's retreating figure, "If you don't tell me today, don't blame me for going to find your wife."

"No." Qiao Kai chickened out.

His wife has a terrible temper; if she found out he dared to be intimate with other women, she would never forgive him.

"Oh, Yanling, I didn't do anything to you. Please don't hurt me."

Tang Yanling said coldly, "Whether you did it or not is not up to you to decide. If I say you did it, then you did it."

"Brother Qiao, I won't make things difficult for you. Just tell me what you know, and I'll let you go."

Qiao Kai stood there stunned for a long time before gritting his teeth and recounting the story of He Yuzhu and the Jia family.

That's all I know.

"So why exactly did the He family and the Jia family cut off all ties?" Tang Yanling thought that the two families at most had some conflicts.

In her opinion, given Jia Zhangshi's temperament, it was actually quite normal for her to have some conflicts with her neighbors.

It would be abnormal if there were absolutely no conflicts.

She thought she knew the problem, so she forced Bang Geng to apologize to He Yuzhu.

As long as she shows sincerity, a big boss like He Yuzhu won't hold it against her.

Tang Yanling never imagined that the relationship between the Jia family and the He family would deteriorate to such an extent.

From 1951 to now, more than 30 years have passed, and He Yuzhu's relationship with the Jia family has not improved.

Qiao Kai said awkwardly, "I really don't know. I wasn't even born when they had their falling out."

You know what kind of person Teacher Yan in your department is.

My grandma told me that when Uncle He's latrine was empty, he would insist on making the people carrying the latrine take a look before letting them leave.

Those old men in your compound are not to be trifled with.

People in this area rarely go to your compound unless absolutely necessary.

Really.

If you want to know the truth, you should ask the people in your own department.

Tang Yanling combined what she knew with Qiao Kai's words and realized that what Qiao Kai said was true.

"I'll ask someone."

Qiao Kai quickly whispered, "Don't tell anyone else, I'm the one who told you."

After saying this, Qiao Kai ran away. He even vowed never to provoke the Jia family's daughters-in-law again.

The men in the Jia family aren't much, but the wives they marry are all incredibly cunning.

Tang Yanling then consulted a few more people and obtained information that was similar to what Qiao Kai had told her.

In short, the relationship between the He family and the Jia family was extremely bad.

Tang Yanling was stunned.

She married Bang Geng not to help Qin Huairu sell fried chicken. She wanted to work at He Yuzhu's company.

Even if it's not Chaoyang Hotel, Xiangpiao Bancheng would be fine. Now, telling her that the He family and the Jia family have never spoken again, how is she supposed to go to He Yuzhu's company?

Tang Yanling couldn't hold back any longer and squatted down in the corner to cry.

Since getting married, Banggeng has been beaming with joy every day, humming a little tune all the way home.

Hearing the familiar crying from the alley, she immediately became anxious: "Yanling, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Bang Geng quickly racked his brains for possible candidates, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with anyone.

The Jia family held a dominant position in Nanluoguxiang. Backed by Yi Zhonghai, few dared to bully them.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Jia family could do whatever they wanted in Nanluoguxiang.

Especially before the movement, the Jia family was a force that no one dared to provoke.

Bang Geng really didn't know who had the audacity to bully his wife.

Upon hearing Banggeng's voice, Tang Yanling stopped crying, suddenly stood up, and almost knocked Banggeng over.

Immediately afterwards, she slapped Bang Geng: "You bastard. You dare to lie to me, I'm divorcing you."

Bang Geng was completely stunned. He was fine when he left in the morning, but when he came back he was yelling about wanting a divorce.

Bang Geng was unwilling to divorce Tang Yanling. He had finally managed to marry her, and unless he didn't want her anymore, he wouldn't consider a divorce.

"No, I disagree. If you've been wronged, I can stand up for you."

But don't even think about making me divorce you.

Tang Yanling cried and cursed, "Jia Geng, you shameless bastard, how dare you lie to me!"

You said you'd let me work at the Chaoyang Hotel. And what happened?

"Your family has completely severed ties with the He family, how can you expect me to go to work?"

At this time, there were quite a few people walking around outside in the alley.

After listening for a few moments, they understood what was going on and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

For Tang Yanling to get a job at He Yuzhu's company through the Jia family is just a pipe dream.

People in the neighborhood are likely to work at He Yuzhu's company, but the Jia family members are the only ones who can't.

Banggeng, feeling ashamed, dragged Tang Yanling back to the courtyard house.

Tang Yanling struggled all the way, but could not break free, and could only follow them back to the courtyard house.

Upon entering the courtyard, an even bigger argument immediately erupted.

Seeing that things were going badly, Yan Bugui took the lead and stood guard at the door, closing it shut.

No matter how many conflicts he has with Yi Zhonghai, when problems arise, he will still stand on the same side as Yi Zhonghai.

The people in the courtyard had been waiting to see what would happen. They weren't surprised at all that they had heard the Jia family arguing.

Tang Yanling questioned Bang Geng: "What did you say to me before we got married?"

You promised I could get a job at the Chaoyang Hotel. You even told me I could go to Hong Kong with you.

That's why I agreed to marry you.

So it turns out you were just lying to me.

"I'm telling you, Banggeng, if I can't get a job at Chaoyang Hotel, I'm divorcing you."

Bang Geng felt wronged at this moment. The method of deceiving Tang Yanling wasn't his idea. He was just following Qin Huairu's instructions.

Qin Huairu told him that once a woman is married, she won't make a fuss no matter what grievances she suffers.

At the time, Qin Huairu even used herself as an example.

Xu Damao was resting at home when he was awakened by the argument.

He ran over with his neighbor to see what was going on, and after listening for a while, he finally understood what was happening.

Xu Damao asked Liu Guangtian, who was standing next to him, "I don't understand. What does Bang Geng's marriage have to do with Tang Yanling going to He Yuzhu's company?"

Liu Guangtian didn't quite understand either. The plan to commit marriage fraud was devised by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu together, so they didn't tell Liu Haizhong about it.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward: "Enough. What's all this commotion about? A married couple is living together, and you're getting a divorce over a job? Aren't you ashamed?"

Yanling, let me tell you, you can't be too selfish.

As a daughter-in-law, you should learn from Huairu.

Tang Yanling wasn't about to put up with him: "Pah! What business is it of yours?" (End of Chapter)
