Chapter 420: I sold the house to Lin Shengli—do you think he'd dare to buy it?
Yu Haitang coldly laughed and said, "Is that so? I don't think so."
"Xu Damao, you're the one who's wrong first, and no matter where you go, everyone will side with me."
Xu Damao: "Who says I'm wrong?"
Yu Haitang: "Then let's wait and see."
"I can tell you, Xu Damao."
"Even if we go to court, the judge will support me."
"Because you cheated!"
"Then you must leave with nothing."
"If you don't want too much trouble, I can state my demands."
"Divorce is fine, but get lost."
"Get out of this siheyuan, as far as you can."
Xu Damao frowned and said:
"No, you're just itching for a beating, right?"
Yu Haitang smiled and said:
"Xu Damao, if you've got the guts, come hit me."
"Even if Qin Jie is outside, or even if she isn't, I doubt you'd dare."
"If you dare lay a finger on me today, I'll immediately sue you in court."
"I'll make you eat prison food."
Upon hearing that, Xu Damao was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect Yu Haitang to be so tough.
He's the type who yields to softness but not to force.
Seeing Yu Haitang so tough, he had no choice but to soften, saying:
"I'm not that low-class."
"Do you think I'm as uncultured as Shazhu?"
"I'm a gentleman—I settle things with words, not fists."
Yu Haitang gave a cold laugh and said nothing.
Xu Damao then said: "We're not divorcing; I'll just stick it out with you, buddy, to see who can outlast whom."
"Didn't I just say that?"
"The red flag at home never falls, while outside the colorful flags flutter."
Yu Haitang laughed: "Sure."
"You don't have to divorce."
"But I need to warn you."
"The property deed for this house is in my hands."
Upon hearing that, Xu Damao was dumbfounded again.
How could he have forgotten that?
Back then, to coax Yu Haitang into marrying him, he handed over the property deed for her to keep.
Now Yu Haitang is using it to threaten him.
Seeing Xu Damao silent, Yu Haitang continued:
"Let me tell you again, Xu Damao: if you dare step out of this door today,"
"I'll immediately sell the house."
Xu Damao was dumbfounded again.
Yu Haitang is really a ruthless character.
She says it and actually does it.
Still, he put on a tough front and said:
"You dare sell it, but someone has to dare buy it."
Yu Haitang coldly laughed: "No one dares to buy?"
"Xu Damao, who do you think you are?"
"Still no one dares to buy."
"First, Shengli would definitely dare to buy it—can you stop him?"
Xu Damao's brow involuntarily furrowed.
He really didn't dare to stop him.
Lin Shengli is someone he can't afford to provoke, and he doesn't dare to provoke him.
Yu Haitang continued: "Second, I can also sell this house to Shazhu."
"See if Shazhu dares to buy it or not."
Xu Damao became even more depressed.
He rolled his eyes and said:
"Haitang, actually, I really don't want to divorce you."
"I still like you."
Yu Haitang snorted and said nothing.
Xu Damao then said:
You also shouldn't listen to them spouting nonsense there.
This always tries to stir up our relationship.
Still splashing dirty water on me.
That's right, I accompanied a woman to look at furniture yesterday.
But, the situation is really not what you imagine.
That woman is one of my customers.
To me, customers are God.
You say she has this demand—how could I not accompany her?
Do you know it's easy to make money outside these days?
You know this is really hard, right?
I also have no choice but to do this.
I have to do this superficial thing thoroughly.
Right?
I really am not...
Yu Haitang gave a cold snort, impatiently interrupting:
Xu Damao, stop making up stories—nobody's a fool.
Don't treat me like a fool.
No, you can go on.
Keep making things up.
I see what else you can make up.
Xu Damao frowned, at a loss for words.
Yu Haitang then said:
Xu Damao, I won't believe anything you say now.
She pointed at Xu Damao and continued:
I now give you two options.
Either I take you to court.
Or you leave the house to me and walk away with nothing.
Having said this much, Xu Damao felt there was nothing left to say.
He had the look of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, and said:
Fine, go ahead and sue me.
Even if you sue, I could still get half the house.
Yu Haitang laughed: 'Okay, I didn't expect you to know that.'
Okay, as long as you understand.
Tell me, how much money do I need to give you for you to leave?
Xu Damao smiled, arms crossed, looked at Yu Haitang, and said:
Then I'll have to think it over carefully.
Everyone knows you've been running a restaurant and made quite a bit of money.
Yu Haitang: 'Xu Damao, no matter how much money I earn, it has nothing to do with you.'
Xu Damao: 'How could it be unrelated?'
We are still legally married, which is protected by law.
Besides, whether you sell it to Lin Shengli or to Shazhu.
These two are not short of money.
Especially Shazhu, he practically wants to open a porridge shop.
Also don't know if he's really rich or just pretending.
Hmph, all he does is good deeds—he deserves it.
Also show me some kindness.
Yu Haitang: 'I tell you, I have no relation whatsoever with Lin Shengli, Shazhu, or even Qin Huairu.'
They're them, I'm me.
Don't play tricks with me.
This house price is clear.
Evening.
Shazhu carried a stack of lunch boxes back to Zhongyuan.
Just then Qin Huairu opened the door and came out.
Seeing him, Qin Huairu hurriedly walked up and said:
You finally came back.
There's been another big incident in this courtyard.
Shazhu calmly said:
No big incident in the courtyard.
Qin Huairu: 'What do you know?'
This is about to catch fire.
Shazhu looked around and asked:
"Where is it?"
"Isn't it missing?"
Qin Huairu let out a long sigh and said:
"Xu Damao has a woman outside."
Shazhu grinned and said:
"What does Xu Damao have to do with me?"
"No matter how big a deal he gets into, it has nothing to do with me, Shazhu."
"Besides, isn't that abnormal?"
"If Xu Damao didn't cause a big incident, that would be abnormal."
Qin Huairu: "He and Yu Haitang are about to divorce again."
Shazhu shook his head and said: "Not divorcing would be abnormal."
"Xu Damao should end up alone."
"If I were Yu Haitang, I would have left long ago, instead of staying with this old bachelor for so many years."
Qin Huairu looked around, lowered her voice, and said:
"But doesn't this involve the property issue?"
"I think we should let Haitang take the house, then we buy it from her—much easier than buying it from Xu Damao."
