Protagonist:

Chai Mi

The story goes that Chai You Fu left Chai Mi's home, and had just not walked out too far when he saw Chai Youqing riding a bicycle, whooshing past in a flash.

Chai You Fu didn't even have time to say a word before Chai Youqing vanished without a trace.

"How is he riding the bike so fast?"

"He went to my granduncle's father-in-law's house; it must be that Chai Mi just told my grandaunt she wants to divorce him, so my granduncle panicked." Chai Min analyzed.

If it were usual, Chai You Fu might have treated it as a trivial matter, but right now he had absolutely no desire to joke or watch the show.

In case Chai Youqing really divorced, then their Old Chai Family would become the first divorced household in all of Sanjiacun, which would affect their children's marriages in the future, not to mention who would still work for Chai Zhongxiao afterwards? If Big Brother Chai Youqing stopped working, then wouldn't it fall to him……

Chai You Fu knew in his heart clear as a mirror that Chai Youde and his wife were absolutely not good people. Back then……

But no matter how you put it, Big Brother Chai Youqing absolutely must not divorce. If he divorced, he could never afford to marry a wife again, and then not only would no one work for Chai Zhongxiao, when Chai Youqing got old or poor, what if he came to the school to borrow money from him……

These are all problems.

The Chai Family has been able to live in harmony for so many years entirely thanks to Chai Youqing and his wife enduring hardship without complaint. If the two of them divorced, there would be no one to endure hardship without complaint, and then the days to come would definitely be chaotic.

Chai You Fu couldn't help but gasp: "Chai Min, how do you feel your Cousin Sister Chai Mi has been lately?"

"She doesn't seem as pretty as in my imagination."

Chai You Fu frowned at Chai Min, and didn't speak for a long while.

He always felt this sentence was weird, but it also seemed to match a girl's view of another girl, so he didn't say anything more.

Chai You Fu returned home just like that, heavy-hearted.

Chai You Fu's home is actually not close to Chai Mi's, about one li of road away. Back when Chai You Fu chose his new house plot, for the sake of peace and quiet he deliberately picked a place far from the Laozhai.

The courtyards here are generally on the large side.

Back when housing plots were approved, only the house had a deed; the courtyard did not.

But at that time land was plentiful, and it belonged to the production team; every household kept vegetable plots in front of and behind their doors. Later no one managed it, so they all enclosed them, turning them into their own courtyards.

Therefore, every household's courtyard exceeds the standard.

Of course, if everyone exceeds the standard then no one exceeds the standard, and no one cares anymore.

Chai You Fu's courtyard is even larger, thirty meters east-west and thirty meters north-south wide.

Many later-generation people don't have much concept of this kind of courtyard; in reality it is a nine hundred square meter courtyard, roughly one and a half mu.

It is quite spacious to use.

Chai You Fu's courtyard also has a vegetable garden…… Of course, because Chai You Fu's wife Song Qiuping likes flowers and plants, not much vegetable was planted, only two vegetable beds.

(Vegetable bed: the planting area is described in "beds"; one bed is approximately the length of two sleeping mats and one width of a sleeping mat used when people sleep.)

One bed grows scallions, one bed grows beans.

The rest of the space is all planted with flowers.

China roses, peonies, tree peonies, moss roses, roses……

It rained a few days ago, the flowers bloomed gorgeously, but those few scallions were wilted and limp.

Song Qiuping was holding that kind of watering can like a lotus-seed shower head, watering the flowers. Seeing Chai You Fu carrying back a large basket of vegetables, she was momentarily delighted: "Oh my, that Elder Sister-in-law is really nice, knowing we have no vegetables to eat, every time she goes she brings back a big basket."
