My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 218: Qin Huairu's Divorce

At noon, Zhang Lei was resting on a deck chair in his yard when Ye Shuqin rushed in from outside. Looking at her, Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Looking at his lazy appearance, Ye Shuqin smiled helplessly, "The Central Court is almost in a fight, and you still have the mind to lie here." Hearing that there was going to be some excitement, Zhang Lei immediately jumped up and asked hurriedly, "Where? Where?"

Looking at him, Ye Shuqin couldn't help but laugh: "You, your personality is sometimes just like a child who hasn't grown up. You get all excited as soon as you hear something." Zhang Lei chuckled and retorted: "This habit of watching the excitement is ingrained in Chinese people. It's not like I'm the only one who's like this."

Ye Shuqin smiled and explained, "It's about the Jia family. Qin Huairu came with people from the Women's Federation, asking the Jia family for something. It seems she and Jia Dongxu have already divorced." Zhang Lei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So fast?"

"Yes, nobody expected them to break up so quickly. It looks like it was over something," Ye Shuqin replied. Zhang Lei immediately grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Come on, wife, let's go, let's go see! It would be such a shame to miss such a great show."

Ye Shuqin smiled and nodded: "I knew you were like that, otherwise why would I have come to inform you so quickly?" Soon, Zhang Lei brought Ye Shuqin to the middle courtyard, where the Jia family courtyard was noisy like a goose nest. He quickly peeked inside.

Then they heard Jia Zhangshi pointing at Qin Huairu and the women from the Women's Federation, cursing loudly: "Qin Huairu, you little slut! Our Jia family has treated you so well, and you dare to divorce my son and still want to take our Jia family's money? Dream on! With me, Jia Zhangshi, here today, you won't get a single penny from the Jia family!"

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was being unreasonable, the Women's Federation staff said sternly, "Jia Zhangshi, don't make trouble. This is the court's ruling. Qin Huairu has worked hard for your family all these years, so it's reasonable for the Jia family to compensate her 200 yuan. If you continue like this, we'll call the police, and then you'll have to pay much more than that."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately sat down on the ground, throwing a tantrum and crying, "Old Jia, come back quickly! Look at that bitch Qin Huairu, she brought people to bully our Jia family and steal our money! Take them all away!"

Jia Zhangshi's words made the onlookers frown. Zhang Lei muttered to himself, "This Jia Zhangshi is really fearless. She actually dares to promote feudal superstition here. If the Women's Federation seizes on this, they'll make her suffer."

He had barely finished speaking when the women's federation member shouted angrily, "Jia Zhangshi, you've gone mad! How dare you promote feudal superstition in front of us!" Turning to the people behind him, he ordered, "Take her away and take her to the neighborhood committee office. I'll teach her a lesson!"

Upon hearing that Jia Zhangshi was to be taken away, Jia Dongxu, lying on the bed, hurriedly shouted in fright, "No, no, no, don't take my mother away! I'll give you money, I'll give you money!" Seeing this, Qin Huairu said, "Director Zhang, since they are willing to give you money, let's just let this matter go. Besides, she is my former mother-in-law."

Director Zhang of the Women's Federation looked at Jia Zhangshi and reprimanded her sternly: "Look at Qin Huairu's magnanimity, and look at you! If it weren't for Qin Huairu speaking up for you today, I would have punished you severely." Jia Zhangshi was so frightened by Director Zhang's imposing manner that she dared not shout anymore and became meek.

Soon, persuaded by Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi reluctantly took out 200 yuan from where she hid the money and threw it angrily in front of Qin Huairu. Seeing Jia Zhangshi's angry action, Qin Huairu didn't care. She squatted down and picked up the money one by one. After counting out 200 yuan, she left the courtyard with the women's federation members.

Watching Qin Huairu leave, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but chuckle. Once Qin Huairu and the Women's Federation members were far away, Jia Zhangshi began to hurl insults from inside her house. Although she didn't name names, everyone knew who she was cursing. Everyone found Jia Zhangshi unlucky; her public cursing was truly annoying, and the crowd in front of Jia's house quickly dispersed.

Seeing this, Zhang Lei was overjoyed. He turned to Ye Shuqin and said, "Wife, don't just stand here. Let's go see our new house." Ye Shuqin looked at the key he suddenly took out, her face full of doubt: "Honey, why didn't I see you with the key just now?" Zhang Lei laughed and joked, "Your husband has a skill: I can hide things on my person without anyone noticing."

Hearing this, Ye Shuqin rolled her eyes at him, assuming he was just teasing her, and didn't ask any further questions. Zhang Lei then led Ye Shuqin to Yi Zhonghai's room, opened both doors, and the two went inside to look around. Looking at the well-equipped room, Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Honey, there's quite a lot of stuff in this room."

Zhang Lei nodded: "Everything is genuine, but these pots and pans are out of the question. They were used by Yi Zhonghai's family, and I find them disgusting to use, so I don't want them." Ye Shuqin quickly advised: "That won't do. They can be used after washing, why throw them away?" Zhang Lei's attitude was firm: "No, they're disgusting to use. I'll sell them all later." Seeing his insistence, Ye Shuqin didn't say anything more. After all, the family had everything they needed, except for some pots and pans.

The two then slowly began to look around the room. Zhang Lei secretly used his senses to carefully scan the room, hoping to find something unexpected. When he scanned the cabinet, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He went over to take a look and found that one of the cabinet's legs had been added later. He knocked on it and found that it was hollow inside.

Zhang Lei immediately said to Ye Shuqin, "Shuqin, wait for me a moment. Go to the front yard and call Uncle San over. Tell him I have something to sell to her." Ye Shuqin nodded and went out. After Ye Shuqin left, Zhang Lei quickly removed the cabinet legs and found something to prop the cabinet up.

After removing the cabinet legs and opening it, Zhang Lei cursed inwardly: "Damn it, that old fox Yi Zhonghai actually hid things here! Who could have discovered this without sensory abilities?" He emptied the contents of the cabinet legs and found four small yellow croakers. Zhang Lei didn't dare delay and quickly put the four yellow croakers into his personal space. He then found some other things to fill the cabinet legs and put them back in their original positions.

Afterwards, he carefully swept both rooms inside and out several times to make sure there was nothing else hidden before he was finally relieved.
