Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

"Thank you, Director Wang!" Qin Huairu followed Wang Xia to the divorce office of the subdistrict office and completed the divorce procedures. With the divorce certificate, Qin Huairu did not go back to the courtyard to pack up her things, but went directly to the car repair shop. Sun Quezi, who was sitting at the door basking in the sun, was slightly stunned when he saw Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu said straight to the point: "I have already completed the divorce procedures. Bring your household registration booklet and come with me to get a marriage certificate!"

Sun Quezi suddenly jumped up from the stool and asked in surprise: "Are you serious?!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Sun Quezi and replied, "Who is kidding you?!"

Sun Quezi stared at Qin Huairu for a few seconds, then stood up and went back into the repair shop. After a while, Sun Quezi changed his clothes, pushed a bicycle out, locked the door of the repair shop, and turned to Qin Huairu and said, "Let's go!"

Sun Quezi got on the bicycle, waited for Qin Huairu to sit firmly on the back seat, and asked, "Where are we going?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "Street Office!"

Sun Quezi kicked his foot and rode his bicycle straight to the street office. On the way, Qin Huairu asked: "Your legs are not convenient, how can you ride a bicycle so steadily?!"

Sun Quezi replied: "It will be stable if you ride more."

Qin Huairu then asked: "Why don't you find a wife at your age?!"

Sun Quezi replied, "I was married before. She died during childbirth." Then he asked, "I'm about the same age as your father. What do you like about me?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "Since you asked, I will tell you the truth." Then Qin Huairu told him about what happened between him and Yi Zhonghai.

After listening to Qin Huairu's narration, Sun Quezi was shocked. Sun Quezi never thought that Yi Zhonghai, who was usually righteous, would do such a thing. Sun Quezi sighed and said, "Let's live a good life from now on!"

Qin Huairu didn't say much, just rested her head on Sun Quezi's back and said, "Although you are old and your feet are not convenient, I know you are not a bad person. Since I have chosen to follow you, I will definitely live a good life with you wholeheartedly."

Soon Sun Guizi took Qin Huairu to the street office. Wang Xia, who was waiting for the two of them at the street office, saw them coming and took them directly to the place responsible for issuing marriage certificates without saying anything more. She asked the staff to issue them marriage certificates.

At the same time, the staff of the subdistrict office, accompanied by the police, appeared at the door of the detention room where Jia Dongxu was. The police shouted, "Jia Dongxu!"

"Here!" Jia Dongxu thought he could go out, and ran to the iron fence excitedly and asked, "Comrade, what's the matter?!"

The police officer looked at Jia Dongxu with contempt and said, "The comrades from the subdistrict office are looking for you."

Jia Dongxu then noticed the young man next to him. The staff of the street office asked, "Are you Jia Dongxu?!"

Jia Dongxu nodded and replied, "That's me!"

The staff of the subdistrict office said, "I am here to inform you. Your wife Qin Huairu has applied to us for a divorce from you. After our study, we agree that you two can divorce. Here is your divorce certificate!" After that, the staff of the subdistrict office showed Jia Dongxu the divorce certificate, and then handed it to the police nearby, saying, "Give this to him when he is released."

"Yes!" The police officer responded, took the divorce certificate handed over by the staff of the street office, and left with the staff of the street office.

Jia Dongxu seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat down on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He cried miserably! If one of the bosses hadn't been annoyed by Jia Dongxu's crying and slapped him in the face, Jia Dongxu wouldn't have known how long he would have cried.

After getting the certificate, Qin Huairu followed Sun Quezi out of the street office. Sun Quezi asked, "Where are we going next?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "It's getting late. I'll go back with you and cook for you. After dinner, we'll find a car and you can go with me to move the things. I have to deliver the keys to Director Wang in the afternoon."

Sun Quezi said, "The repair shop is only this big. Don't you regret living there with me?"

Qin Huairu said with an unhappy look on her face: "I've already married you, what else is there to regret?!"

Sun Quezi smiled and said, "I am happy to hear what you said! Let's go! Let's go home!" Then Sun Quezi got on the bicycle. After Qin Huairu sat on the back seat, she urged, "Let's go!"

After leaving the subdistrict office, Sun Quezi first took Qin Huairu to the supply and marketing cooperative. He bought two cans of meat and half a pound of assorted candies, and also bought Qin Huairu a set of clothes and a pair of leather shoes. Sun Quezi took Qin Huairu back to the repair shop. After lunch, Sun Quezi borrowed a cart and dragged it with Qin Huairu to the courtyard.

"Hey?! Qin Huairu, you're back?!" The third aunt saw Qin Huairu coming in from outside and greeted her with a smile.

Qin Huairu smiled and replied, "Yes! Come back and pack your things."

The third aunt was stunned for a moment and asked, "Pack your things?! You don't live here anymore?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "I have divorced Jia Dongxu, and I plan to live a good life with him."

The third aunt only then noticed Sun Quezi following behind Qin Huairu. The third aunt was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief, then looked at Sun Quezi, and asked, "You guys?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "We have already obtained the marriage certificate." Then, Qin Huairu took out the marriage certificate. Sun Quezi immediately took out a handful of candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the third aunt, smiling and saying, "This is our wedding candy, you can have some sweets to enjoy!"

When the third aunt saw the candy in her hand, she also reacted and said, "Huai Ru, since you have found a man, live a good life. Don't be like the past."

Qin Huairu said, "Third aunt, you know what I was like in the past. It's not that I don't want to live a good life. It's that the Jia family doesn't want me to live a good life. Now I have finally made it. Third aunt, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back and pack my things first." After saying that, Qin Huairu walked towards the central courtyard.

After a while, Qin Huairu called Sun Quezi in. Not long after, Qin Huairu and Sun Quezi moved some things out one after another and loaded them onto the cart. After working for almost half an hour, Qin Huairu walked out of the courtyard carrying a package.

Sun Quezi asked: "Have you taken all the things?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "We have taken everything we should take! Let's go!" After that, Qin Huairu took one last look at the courtyard and left with Sun Quezi.

After Qin Huairu left, a group of middle-aged women surrounded the third middle-aged woman. They started asking what was going on. When they learned from the third middle-aged woman that Qin Huairu divorced Jia Dongxu and remarried Sun Guizi, they were all surprised.

However, although these people were surprised, they were all thinking about how to get the Jia family's house. But these had nothing to do with Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu followed Sun Quezi back to the car repair shop, and after putting the furniture back in place, Qin Huairu went to the street office and handed the key of the Jia family to Director Wang.
