Chapter 167: He's started stirring up trouble again

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong frowned and said:

"No, Xiao Xu, Xiao'e usually looks quite honest."

Xu Damao: "You're being deceived by her outward appearance."

"It's all an act."

"I, I want to divorce her, cut ties with her."

Xu Damao recently found a partner; he's had enough of not being able to share a room with Lou Xiao'e.

Moreover, Lou Xiao'e's belly hasn't shown any sign of growth; every time he asks if she's pregnant, she says she doesn't know.

He's run out of patience.

Moreover, the situation has suddenly changed; Lou Xiao'e's background is questionable, so he must cut ties with her.

Besides, he wants to achieve merit.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong fell into deep thought.

Because he knows Lou Xiao'e gets along very well with Lin Shengli.

And Lin Shengli also has a very good relationship with Director Li.

If we mess with Lou Xiao'e, will Lin Shengli get angry?

If Lin Shengli gets angry, will Director Li take care of him?

These are all things he must consider.

Seeing him silent, Xu Damao continued:

"Just now, just now, she came over, pointed at my nose, and told me:"

"Xu Damao, I tell you, if you dare betray my family, I will... you hear..."

Liu Haizhong: "Then divorce her, it's unacceptable, we must divorce her."

Xu Damao happily nodded.

On the other side.

Yan Bu Gui was walking back and forth in the front courtyard.

He was waiting for Liu Haizhong; earlier he went to Liu Haizhong's house, but Liu Haizhong hadn't returned yet.

At that moment, Liu Haizhong entered, pushing his bicycle.

Yan Bu Gui hurried forward to meet him.

Liu Haizhong glanced at him, but didn't stop his steps.

Yan Bu Gui quickly said:

"Stop, stop, stop, I, I have something to tell you."

"First, let me state my attitude: from now on, I will certainly treat you as the First Elder of the courtyard."

Liu Haizhong gave a cold snort and said:

"Old Yan, are you giving me the cold shoulder?"

"With Lin Shengli around, I can't be the First Elder of this courtyard; I give up, okay?"

Yan Bu Gui: "No, I absolutely don't mean that, really, I absolutely don't."

Liu Haizhong: "Alright, I'm telling you, I'm really tired today."

"Tomorrow there's a meeting, a very important one."

"So, if you have anything to say, just keep it brief."

Yan Bu Gui, with a worried, bitter face, said:

"Actually, what I want to say, you also know."

"That, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Help me establish our image in the courtyard."

"You see, to establish our image in the courtyard, I first need to establish my family's image."

"Our family is now a complete mess."

"The eldest son no longer obeys me; now they've split the household from me."

"The second and third sons also demand living expenses from me, and they're also eager to split the household."

"You, you say what's this about? I'm worried sick."

Liu Haizhong, upon hearing that, furrowed his brow and asked:

"No, Old Yi is still the First Elder; why don't you talk to him?"

"And what about Shengli—have you spoken to him?"

Yan Bu Gui: "I've told them, but they both said they won't interfere in my family affairs."

"So, I can only rely on you now."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said:

"Alright, let's do it tomorrow—oh no, the day after tomorrow."

"Let's gather everyone from the courtyard for a meeting to specially discuss your family's issues."

Yan Bu Gui happily said: "This is great, great!"

"I'm so grateful to you."

"From now on, I will surely win people's hearts."

Liu Haizhong raised his eyebrows.

Yan Bu Gui hastily said:

"No, no, no, right away, right away."

"That sesame sauce we have this month, huh?"

"I've saved it; later I'll bring that side-dish ledger to your place."

"Go ahead and smash it."

Liu Haizhong said happily, "No problem."

"Alright, just like that."

After saying that, he pushed his bicycle away.

As he walked, he silently thought to himself:

"Being an official really has its perks."

Yan Bu Gui shouted at his back:

"Take it slow, watch the step."

Liu Haizhong returned home; Second Aunt hurriedly went to meet him, saying:

"You've finally come back."

Liu Haizhong rubbed his big belly and said:

"I, I haven't eaten yet."

Second Aunt: "I've saved it for you; sit down first."

Liu Haizhong nodded, walked to the table and sat down.

Soon after, Second Aunt brought the food over.

Suddenly.

Liu Haizhong walked over, lifted the inner room's curtain, peeked inside, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were already asleep.

He shouted angrily:

"You damned things, all get up for me!"

"I'm telling you, you have ten seconds."

That day Liu Guangtian brought people over, stood on Lin Shengli's side, and Liu Haizhong still resents it to this day.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were woken by the noise, hurriedly got out of bed and came out.

Just as they came out, suddenly a clang sound was heard.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the window glass had been shattered by someone unknown.

Just as they were stunned, the front door pushed open, and the Deaf Old Lady walked in with a cane.

"Liu Haizhong!"

Upon seeing the Deaf Old Lady, Liu Haizhong immediately turned away; he dared not face her, especially now.

Because he had taken Shazhu away.

And the Deaf Old Lady has always regarded Shazhu as her own grandson.

Liu Haizhong turned with fear and trepidation, his voice trembling:

"Old, old lady..."

The Deaf Old Lady questioned:

"Where is our Shazhu?"

Upon hearing that.

Liu Guangtian hurriedly ran out.

Liu Haizhong: "Old lady, what are you doing?"

Second Aunt said with a sullen face:

"Don't bother talking to her; she can't hear anything."

Deaf Old Lady: "I'm telling you, if you don't hand over Shazhu tonight, none of you will get any sleep."

After saying that, she raised her cane to strike Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong dodged while saying:

"Old lady, I can't afford to provoke you."

Second Aunt: "We can't afford to provoke this old lady; otherwise we'd have to pay for her coffin."

Liu Haizhong ran to the door and said:

"Old lady, I, I will bring Shazhu back for you, okay?"

After saying that.

As he turned to leave, Liu Guangtian arrived with Lin Shengli, Yi Zhonghai, and others.

Liu Haizhong hurriedly grabbed Lin Shengli's hand and said:

"Shengli, this old lady is going too far—she smashed our window and still forces me to release Shazhu."

"But Shazhu was arrested on Director Li's orders; he's to be detained for three days then expelled, which is also Director Li's idea—I didn't say anything."

Upon hearing that, the Deaf Old Lady's body involuntarily shuddered.

This news was like a bolt from the blue for her.

Lin Shengli laughed: "Yes, Second Elder, this is really over the top."

"How could one just smash your window like that?"

"You're just following orders."

"I think whoever smashed the window should pay for it."
