When Luo Yu saw that the older women had spoken up, she also said, "Lu Dali, at a time like this, stop saying such useless things. You know what will happen to you and Meng Jiao if this gets out. Not to mention you, even your son won't have a good ending."

When his son was mentioned, a fierce glint flashed in Lü Dali's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

With Xi Beizhan around, even if he wanted to make a move, he couldn't; he couldn't win.

Lu Dali slumped to the ground, burying his face in his hands, looking utterly regretful.

Luo Yu gave Aunt Zhang a wink, and Aunt Zhang coughed twice and said, "Lu Dali, it's our Women's Federation that came to our door today. If word gets out, tomorrow it will be the Bureau of Management coming."

You know what kind of punishment the management bureau will give for something like this; being forced to eat peanuts is a given.

Upon hearing that he had to eat raw rice, Lü Dali buried his face in his hands and cried, "I didn't want to either, but things have already come to this, what can I do? I have no choice."

Luo Yu's eyes lit up when she heard what Lü Dali said.

After I told him, he actually admitted it.

They were afraid he wouldn't admit it. Although there was Miao Xiaohua's testimony, as long as Lü Dali didn't admit it, and Yang Wei testified for him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Lü Dali. But to their surprise, Lü Dali actually admitted it.

With the admission made things much easier, Luo Yu gained great confidence in the next steps.

Aunt Zhang and the others' eyes lit up. They clearly knew that as long as Lü Dali didn't admit it, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't force someone to admit it, could they?

“Lu Dali, since you’ve admitted it, we won’t make things difficult for you.”

We're not here to cause trouble; we're here to resolve the issue.

Comrade Miao Xiaohua has clearly stated that she doesn't want to continue the relationship with you and wants a divorce. What's your opinion on this?

Lu Dali was taken aback.

How to see it? How can he see it?

Doesn't he want a divorce?

He didn't think much when he was young, and he was healthy enough to live a carefree life, so he wanted to get a divorce and marry a young and beautiful woman.

But things are different now. He's old, and you can feel it every day when he's working. He's so different from ten years ago. He can't live like he used to when he was young anymore, and he's lost his obsession with divorce.

Moreover, Meng Jiao wouldn't marry her even after the divorce. After all, she's Yang Wei's wife now, so who would take care of him after the divorce?

Although Miao Xiaohua is old and faded, she is still very good at serving people. She cooks, washes clothes, and cleans the house without complaint. Her cooking is much better than Meng Jiao's.

Furthermore, although Meng Jiao gave birth to his son, the son is registered under Yang Wei's name and has no relation to him in name. It's uncertain whether he will be able to support him in his old age. He might have to rely on several girls and Miao Xiaohua in the future.

Therefore, Lü Dali did not want a divorce in essence. He just wanted to keep the wife at home and have affairs outside. He wanted both women and both homes.

Seeing that Lü Dali didn't speak, Aunt Zhang glared at him and then added more pressure on him.

"Lu Dali, don't be ungrateful. I just said that if this gets out, you won't have a good ending. So, you have to get a divorce whether you like it or not, or we'll take this to the Administration Bureau."

When Lü Dali heard that the matter was going to be reported to the management bureau, he broke out in a cold sweat. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly said, "I'll get a divorce, I'll get a divorce, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Lü Dali looked at Miao Xiaohua again, this time with dissatisfaction and a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Miao Xiaohua didn't even look at him; all she wanted was to get a divorce from Lü Dali and get the job.

Upon hearing that Lü Dali agreed to the divorce, Luo Yu and the other women secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they were not completely relieved yet.

Aunt Zhang continued, "This is your fault. Do you admit it?"

Lü Dali nodded. "I agree."

Aunt Zhang continued, "As punishment, you'll have to leave the house with nothing. Are you willing to do that?"

The phrase "leaving with nothing" was learned from Luo Yu. Aunt Zhang used it immediately after learning it and thought it was a perfect description.

Lu Dali was taken aback, then stood up and glared fiercely at Miao Xiaohua, "What do you mean? You want to take over the family property?"

Aunt Zhang wasn't afraid of him. She narrowed her eyes and said, "What are you yelling about? Why are you being so fierce? Do you have the right to be fierce with her? Think about what you've done. What gives you the right to be fierce with her?"

"You've been beating her for so many years, and you've been having affairs with other women for so many years, what's wrong with giving her your assets as compensation?"

Lu Dali wanted to retort, but after opening his mouth several times, he couldn't say anything. He finally murmured, "But that's all the money I earned. She stays at home and doesn't earn a penny. Why should she take the family property?"

Lu Dali glanced at Aunt Zhang with dissatisfaction, then squatted down again.

Aunt Zhang patted the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), "Why? Because she wasn't idle at home, she did some work too."

Didn't she clean the house? Didn't she cook the meals? Didn't she buy the groceries? Didn't she wash the clothes? Didn't she raise the children?

Besides earning money, what else have you done? What have you contributed to this family?

Besides indulging in debauchery and womanizing outside, you also beat people when you get home, not only your wife but also your children.

Aren't these children your own? Don't they call you "Dad"?

Look at your eldest daughter standing outside. How old is she? Look at her clothes, they're tattered, she looks like a beggar. Does she have a single decent piece of clothing to show off?

Don't even mention that you gave all your money to Miao Xiaohua. If you had given her enough money, would she have just watched the girl go out dressed like that?

From what I can tell, you don't usually give your family much money, do you? It's barely enough for the mother and her daughters to have enough to eat and wear.

Miao Xiaohua suddenly burst into tears. The sobs were not loud. She covered her face and lowered her head, as if her hard work over the years had finally been recognized. She was not as useless as Lü Dali said; she had also contributed to the family.

Luo Yu sighed and patted Miao Xiaohua on the back comfortingly, "I know you've suffered a lot of grievances over the years. If you want to cry, then cry, but don't cry out loud. It'll be hard to explain if the neighbors hear you."

Luo Yu's words of comfort stopped Miao Xiaohua from crying. She smiled shyly at Luo Yu and looked gratefully at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang ignored her and launched into a tirade against Lü Dali, making Lü Dali almost depressed.

You can say whatever you want, but why do you portray him like an animal? Is he really that despicable?

It's just that he made a mistake that all men in the world would make, so why does that mean he doesn't deserve to be a human being?

If this had happened twenty years ago, what would this have been considered a big deal?

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the existence of concubines was still permitted, but it has been prohibited in recent years. (Explanation below)

Seeing that Lü Dali remained silent for a long time, Aunt Zhang said again, "Lü Dali, things have come to this point, let's stop beating around the bush and tell us our solution."

After pondering for a while, Aunt Zhang laid out all the conditions that Luo Yu had mentioned earlier.
