Chapter 595

"Is Sister Xiaoe really going to divorce Xu Damao?"

Song Yulan asked while mixing water for a foot bath.

Cao Weiguo replied: "Yes! They can't live together without divorcing."

"Xu Damao is too ruthless."

"He has no feelings for Lou Xiaoe."

"And Lou Xiaoe doesn't think much of Xu Damao either."

"Divorcing is better for both of them."

Song Yulan sighed: "What will Sister Xiaoe do after the divorce?"

"In my opinion, it's normal for couples to have their ups and downs."

"Couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot."

"It's not good to talk about divorce at the drop of a hat."

Song Yulan's thinking was relatively traditional; she believed that a woman should focus on remaining chaste and being obedient to her husband.

She had a good relationship with Lou Xiaoe and could be considered her best friend in the courtyard.

But when a couple was fighting, she felt embarrassed to get involved.

First, she was afraid of getting hurt, and second, she was afraid of offending people.

Furthermore, she didn't take the couple's fighting too seriously.

She thought it was just a couple bickering and having a disagreement.

Back in the village, couples fighting was a common occurrence.

But it was rare to hear of a divorce just because of one fight.

Regardless of whose fault it was, if there was talk of divorce,

all the relatives would come to persuade them to reconcile, and every household would be watching the spectacle.

It was easier for the man, but it would be difficult for the woman to remarry.

Hearing that Lou Xiaoe and Xu Damao were going to divorce,

Song Yulan felt that the two were making a mountain out of a molehill.

Cao Weiguo didn't say much to Song Yulan's words.

In any case, he supported Lou Xiaoe and Xu Damao's divorce with both hands and feet.

Even if the two didn't want to divorce, he would have to make them divorce.

Otherwise, what would he do with Lou Xiaoe in the future?

Although their current relationship wasn't exactly honorable,

the status of being married versus divorced was completely different.

Once Lou Xiaoe divorced Xu Damao, there would be much less entanglement.

His private interactions with Lou Xiaoe would have fewer worries.

Although they were sneaking around now, it wasn't impossible to immigrate abroad in the future.

The world is so big; it's not like there aren't countries that practice polygamy.

Furthermore, the times are changing rapidly, and all sorts of strange things can happen.

Nowadays, people take male-female relationships very seriously, but in the future, who will care if you have a third, fourth, or eighteenth mistress?

Perhaps in the future, illegitimate children will also be able to be registered and legally inherit property; that's not impossible.

Regarding his extramarital affair, although Cao Weiguo was afraid, he absolutely did not regret it.

Anyway, he wasn't a good person to begin with.

Moreover, he didn't have such noble character.

He just wanted to live his life happily.

Let the gentlemen or whoever is noble be the ones to be noble.

Being a selfish villain suited him just fine.

Back Courtyard

Xu Damao was happy to see Lou Xiaoe leave.

Originally, he had only brought Lou Xiaoe back to get money from the Lou family.

Now that he had the money, Lou Xiaoe getting lost was exactly what he wanted.

Once he divorced Lou Xiaoe, he could rightfully marry Qin Jingru.

Not only could he win the beauty, but he could also piss off that grandson Sha Zhuzhu to death.

Looking at the empty room, Xu Damao suddenly felt refreshed.

Without the eyesore Lou Xiaoe, he could do whatever he wanted again.

Taking money from the drawer, Xu Damao happily went to find an old flame.

Qin Jingru was good, but for now, he could only look and not eat.

Before he won over Qin Jingru, he still had to find an old flame to satisfy his cravings.

Not long after Xu Damao left in the dark, Banggeng entered the room like a rat.

Lou Xiaoe was not only an eyesore to Xu Damao, but she also hindered Banggeng's business.

Now that Lou Xiaoe was gone and Xu Damao had also gone out,

Banggeng felt that spring had arrived; the time to rob the rich to help the poor had come.

A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit; ever since his hand was pinched,

Banggeng had become more cautious when stealing things; after opening the cabinet, he wouldn't rush to rummage through it.

Instead, he patiently did the fine work and was even more careful in his actions.

"This bad seed Xu Damao really has money!"

Opening the cupboard and grabbing a handful of peanuts, Banggeng pulled open the drawer again.

Seeing the loose change scattered inside, he couldn't help but rub his hands in excitement.

Resisting the urge to sweep it all away, Banggeng only took three banknotes.

Closing the cupboard and drawer, Banggeng tiptoed away quickly.

When he reached his front door, he took out the money under the light.

One 2-yuan note, one 5-jiao note, and one 2-jiao note.

Taking two yuan and seven jiao at once—not bad, really not bad.

Don't underestimate these two yuan and seven jiao; Qin Huairu's daily wage wasn't even two yuan.

These two yuan and seven jiao could buy an old hen and enough grain to eat for several days.

Putting the money in his pocket and hiding it, Banggeng entered the room as if nothing had happened.

Inside the room, Qin Huairu was pointing at Qin Jingru's nose and lecturing her:

"You! How did you get mixed up with Xu Damao!"

"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with him now?"

Qin Jingru said dismissively: "We are just ordinary friends."

Qin Huairu pointed at Qin Jingru's little leather shoes: "Ordinary friends? Would he buy you leather shoes?"

"Do you know how much these leather shoes cost?"

"If exchanged for grain, it would be enough for the family to eat for over a month!"

"You call this an ordinary friend relationship?"

It must be said that Xu Damao was truly willing to spend money to pick up girls.

Going out to eat, buying clothes, and buying shoes.

In one day, he spent nearly a month's wages of an ordinary worker.

It's no wonder Qin Jingru's relationship with Xu Damao was advancing by leaps and bounds.

Otherwise, Xu Damao wouldn't be in such a hurry to fall out with Lou Xiaoe.

According to this offensive, it was only a matter of time before Qin Jingru was won over.

Qin Jingru said impatiently: "Oh, Sister! We really are just ordinary friends!"

Qin Huairu pointed at Qin Jingru: "You, you!"

"Xu Damao is about to divorce Lou Xiaoe because of you!"

"And you're still lying to me saying you're ordinary friends?" ===== CHAPTER 597 =====
