Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Yao Xueqin brought Wang Erhai to Liu Meiqi's house.

Then she took out the key and opened the door.

"Go on in. From now on, this is your home."

Yao Xueqin said to Wang Erhai with a smile.

Wang Erhai was stunned:

"Isn't this Liu Meiqi's house? Are you crazy? You want me to come back and live here? If Liu Meiqi finds out, she'll kill us both!"

But Yao Xueqin said:

"This house used to be Meiqi's, but now it's mine. Meiqi just sold the house to me. The transfer procedures are all done. I plan to give this house to you for free."

"Give it to me? For real?" Wang Erhai was stunned.

He simply couldn't believe his ears.

"Of course it's real." Yao Xueqin took out the purchase contract she signed with Liu Meiqi. "Look, this is the transaction contract I signed with Meiqi. This house indeed already belongs to me. But to transfer it to you, we still have to wait a few years. After all, a second-hand house transaction requires a waiting period. You can't just buy it and immediately sell it off. You know this too."

Wang Erhai's head was buzzing. He still couldn't believe the fact before his eyes:

"No... how did Liu Meiqi sell the house to you?"

Yao Xueqin said:

"She wants to go to Guangzhou to buy a house. She couldn't scrape together enough for the down payment, so she sold the house to me to make up the down payment."

Speaking of this, Yao Xueqin sighed:

"Sigh. You also know Meiqi's personality is very stubborn. Once she sets her mind on something, no one can persuade her. She's buying a commercial apartment — no school district, no property rights. There's simply no cost performance. I patiently persuaded her several times, but she wouldn't listen. In the end, I could only reluctantly buy her house. After all, a friend taking it over is better than an outsider. An outsider taking it over — unknown background, unknown bottom — it's easy to get cheated."

"That's true. You're actually quite considerate of Liu Meiqi. Too bad she doesn't appreciate it at all." Wang Erhai sighed along.

Yao Xueqin sighed again:

"Meiqi will probably have a hard time from now on. After buying the apartment, she has to pay back over five thousand a month in mortgage. Fortunately, she found a job with a monthly salary of twenty thousand. But who knows if it's true or false. It just doesn't feel very reliable. She never had experience working in a big city before. How could she suddenly find a job paying twenty thousand a month? Unless..."

Speaking here, Yao Xueqin stopped mid-sentence.

"Unless what?"

Wang Erhai asked.

Yao Xueqin hemmed and hawed:

"Unless she found the kind of work that can't see the light... I'm just guessing wildly. Maybe she really has the ability to find a proper job paying twenty thousand a month."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was first stunned, then revealed a complex smile.

"You know what, there really is that possibility. Liu Meiqi used to do real estate sales at Huangsheng Group. She climbed up using her beauty. For someone like her who's used to earning fast money, how could she possibly go find a job down-to-earth?"

Wang Erhai laughed it off at this point:

"Forget it. Let's not care about her. Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with me anymore. The two of us already got the divorce certificate today."

But Yao Xueqin said:

"But Meiqi is my good sister. I can't just watch her perish without helping. Do you think I should go persuade her again?"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Xueqin, a woman as kind and compassionate as you is really rare these days. But you still shouldn't meddle with Liu Meiqi. She's not worth you worrying like this. Besides, even if you want to meddle, you can't. She's already bought the apartment. It's a done deal. What can you do? You can't go help her pay the mortgage, can you?"

Yao Xueqin frowned and sighed:

"You're right. Let's not talk about this. The more we talk, the more upset I get. Also, the two of us being together — if Meiqi finds out, who knows if she'll blame me. Sigh. It's all your fault. How could you take advantage of me being drunk and cross that line back then..."

Yao Xueqin's face was full of worry and guilt.

Wang Erhai felt heartache watching her:

"Xueqin, don't blame yourself. If you want to blame someone, blame me for not holding back. Rest assured. If Liu Meiqi comes back looking for trouble, I'll block everything for you!"

Yao Xueqin said at this time:

"I've experienced a failed marriage. I don't want a second relationship to fail again. In the future, whatever happens between us, we must communicate well. We can't be like you and Meiqi before, quarreling at the drop of a hat. You agree?"

Wang Erhai embraced her:

"Rest assured. As long as you don't quarrel, I definitely won't quarrel."

Yao Xueqin said again:

"When the time comes that we can transfer ownership, I'll give this house to you."

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"It's your house. No need to give it to me. This isn't some small gift. You spent a lot of money to buy it back."

But Yao Xueqin said very firmly:

"No, I must give it to you! This is my sincerity, and also my determination!"

She also said:

"Also, if we get married in the future, I hope we don't divide yours and mine so clearly. Husband and wife are one body. We must share weal and woe, share honor and disgrace. Between husband and wife, we must not guard against each other. Otherwise, we definitely can't be of one heart."

Wang Erhai nodded, expressing agreement:

"You're right. Between husband and wife, we must be of one heart."

He and Liu Meiqi, it was precisely because from beginning to end they were never of one heart, always guarding against each other, always calculating against each other, that they reached the step of divorce.

But he didn't know, Yao Xueqin saying these words to him had another layer of meaning.

That is, when getting married, don't do pre-marital property notarization, don't sign a pre-marital property agreement.

In this way, once they married, Wang Erhai's assets would become hers, Yao Xueqin's assets.

Just then, Wang Erhai's mobile phone rang.

He took it out to look — it was his mother Li Xiulan calling.

"My mom's calling, I'll take it."

Wang Erhai let go of Yao Xueqin and pressed the answer key:

"Hello, Mom, what's up?"

Li Xiulan's simple, honest voice came through the phone:

"Erhai, did you eat the old hen you took down last time?"

"Oh, ate it, ate it..."

"Did Mei Qi think it tasted good?"

"Cough cough, pretty tasty, not bad..." Wang Erhai's tone carried some guilt, because to this day he still didn't know how to confess to his parents the fact that he and Liu Meiqi had already divorced.

"Good that it tasted good. If not, come back and take a few more old hens down. I'll slaughter them here, you take them down, put them in the refrigerator to freeze, stew chicken soup once every few days. Mei Qi is pregnant, it's exactly the time she needs to supplement her body."

Li Xiulan laughed heartily, saying so.

"Mom, no need, everything can be bought in the county town." Wang Erhai hurriedly refused.

But Li Xiulan said:

"If you're too busy, no time to come back, then your dad and I will send them down. Anyway, the county town isn't far from Shanggou Village. Taking the bus down is very easy!"

"No need, no need, really no need!" Wang Erhai hurriedly refused again.

"Don't be polite with me. Home-raised old hens can't be bought in the county town! Tomorrow your dad and I will bring them down to you! It just so happens we're going to the county hospital to visit Liu Xiaoli tomorrow, perfectly on the way!"

Li Xiulan said so.

Hearing this, Wang Erhai grew even more panicked.

He hurriedly said:

"How about I go back to Shanggou Village to get them tomorrow instead!"

Li Xiulan laughed:

"Good, then come back, and then drive your dad and me to the county town. We'll first go sit a while at yours and Mei Qi's, then go to the county hospital to see Liu Xiaoli!"

Wang Erhai's mind instantly went blank, buzzing, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He knew he could no longer stop his parents from coming down to the county town.

The matter of his divorce from Liu Meiqi would probably be impossible to keep hidden now.

What to do about this?
