Chapter 834

No way! No way! No way!

Nanluoguxiang

Cao Cao Weiguo gave the little fatty a severe lesson, making him wipe away tears and promise never to play with fire again. Seeing his son's pitiful state, Seeing Shazhu was so angry smoke was coming out of his head. He glared at Cao Cao Weiguo with rage filling his chest: "Cao, what right do you have to hit my son! He Shen is my son! He's surnamed He, not Cao! If you dare to touch my son again, I'll fight you to the death!"

"You've got some nerve!"

Before Cao Cao Weiguo could speak, Jin Jin Lian swung the feather duster and hit Seeing Shazhu on the arm: "Fight to the death! How many lives do you have! If you want to die, do it quickly; don't drag it out and delay me from remarrying."

Seeing Shazhu's face turned red with anger. He stared at Jin Jin Lian with man-eating eyes: "You shrew, I must have been blind to marry you."

Back then, to marry Jin Jin Lian, he had worked like an ox or a horse, saving up the bride price with back-breaking labor. But he never expected that once this woman entered the house, she would turn from a gentle and lovely little fairy into a fierce and shrewish mother-demon. After their wedding night, he had never slept in the same bed again. If it weren't for the sake of his son, he would have divorced her and remarried long ago.

Regret!

Why had he been so possessed, single-mindedly begging to marry this shrew? If he had listened to Yi Yi Zhonghai and married Qin Qin Huairu, how good that would have been! Then he would never have lived such a life of fire and water.

Jin Jin Lian was furious at this and shouted with her hands on her hips: "Good for you, you heartless bastard. It's only been a few years, and your true colors are showing. Fine, you regret it, right? Then let's divorce. You shameless thing, carrying water for a widow outside, donating money to a widow in the courtyard—you're destined to be with widows your whole life. You think I care about you? I haven't wanted to live with you for a long time. Let's go get a divorce tomorrow."

Seeing Shazhu stomped his feet in shame and anger: "Divorce it is! Whoever doesn't divorce is a dog's offspring!"

Yan Yan Bugui hurriedly said: "Sha Zhuzi! What nonsense are you talking about! How can you just say 'divorce' like that! Spit it out! You and Jin Jin Lian finally got married; it's only been a few years. If you divorce, where are you going to find such a good wife?"

Jin Jin Lian turned to look at Cao Cao Weiguo and asked aggressively: "Cao Cao Weiguo, I want to divorce Seeing Shazhu. Do you agree or not?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said awkwardly: "Jin Jin Lian, why are you asking me that? You divorcing Seeing Shazhu is your business as a couple. Why ask me?"

Jin Jin Lian glared at Cao Cao Weiguo resentfully: "I'm asking if you agree or not. Say it! Stop being wishy-washy; you're not like a man."

A sinful deed!

Thinking back to that night several years ago, Cao Cao Weiguo really wanted to slap himself a few times.

It was the summer of '72. Jin Peng had gotten into a quarrel while eating, and after a fight, he was taken in by the police station. After the incident, Jin Jin Lian had come to him crying and begging for help, kneeling and pleading for him to get her brother out.

Because Song Song Yulan had given birth to their second child, Cao Cao Pingyi, a few years prior, Jin Jin Lian had often visited their home, chatting with Song Song Yulan, helping out diligently, and getting along well with Song Song Yulan and Song Cousin Yujuan, often helping to look after the children.

Seeing Jin Jin Lian begging at his door with tears and snot, Song Song Yulan couldn't bear it and asked Cao Cao Weiguo to help if he could. Thus, Cao Cao Weiguo went to the police station with Jin Jin Lian, found the young man Jin Peng had injured, and spent some money to get them to reconcile, which was how he got Jin Peng out.

Afterward, Jin Jin Lian made a table of food and dragged Cao Cao Weiguo to her house. It was a hot summer day, the room was stuffy, and Jin Jin Lian was dressed lightly. After a few drinks, both of them got hot-headed and rolled into bed... Who would have thought that one time would hit the bullseye.

Cao Cao Weiguo, already in his thirties, couldn't help but blush. Under the gaze of Jin Jin Lian, Seeing Shazhu, and Yan Yan Bugui, he bit the bullet and said: "The most important thing in a couple's life is happiness. If you feel you're no longer happy or joyful together, then divorce is a form of liberation for you."

Jin Jin Lian glared at Cao Cao Weiguo and turned to give Seeing Shazhu an ultimatum: "You heard him. You're liberated. We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to divorce. Afterward, you can let go and pursue your happiness. I know you like Qin Qin Huairu; you can go live with her."

Seeing Shazhu gritted his teeth, his face red: "Don't talk about that nonsense. Divorce, right? It suits me perfectly. We'll divorce tomorrow."

Yan Yan Bugui looked at them anxiously: "Why bother? Why bother?"

Cao Cao Weiguo rubbed the little fatty's head: "Little brat, do you want to go to Godfather's house to eat dumplings?"

The little fatty nodded, sucking his finger: "I like eating dumplings."

Jin Jin Lian reached out and pinched the little fatty's ear: "Little brat, same habits as your father."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Since your mind is made up, come stay at my place for the night. I'll help you find a place to live tomorrow."

Jin Jin Lian said resentfully: "Then I'll bother you and Song Yulan."

"Cao Cao Weiguo, you bad seed, I'll remember this! Let's wait and see!"

Seeing Shazhu glared at Cao Cao Weiguo with red eyes, gritted his teeth, and left a harsh threat. He turned and walked into the courtyard with a ferocious expression, looking just like a wild beast ready to eat someone, scaring the neighbors so much they didn't dare to speak.

Cao Cao Weiguo shrugged and said, "Fine! If you insist on divorcing He He Yuzhu, he will definitely think I’m the one behind it and hold a grudge against me again."

Jin Jin Lian said irritably: "What? You think you're innocent?"

Cao Cao Weiguo laughed: "If you have too many lice, you don't itch; if you have too many debts, you don't worry. Anyway, Seeing Shazhu has always been at odds with me, so one more grudge or one less doesn't matter. Let's go, let's go to my house for dumplings."

Yan Yan Bugui watched Cao Cao Weiguo lead Jin Jin Lian and her son away and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not what they used to be. What is this? Seeing Shazhu, this mixed-up kid, it's pitiful."

Qin Qin Huairu was borrowing grain from Yi Yi Zhonghai when she saw Seeing Shazhu return in a rage. She was curious and leaned over with concern: "Sha Zhuzi, look at you, gritting your teeth like you're about to eat someone. Who made you angry again?"

Seeing Shazhu, with bloodshot eyes, kicked over a water bucket: "Cao Cao Weiguo, that despicable villain! I'll never stand with him!"

Qin Qin Huairu laughed: "Cao Cao Weiguo, huh? How did he provoke you this time?"

Seeing Shazhu and Cao Cao Weiguo being at odds wasn't a one-day thing. Even though Jin Jin Lian had let the little fatty call Cao Cao Weiguo godfather, their relationship hadn't eased. Whenever Seeing Shazhu saw Cao Cao Weiguo, it was like seeing an enemy.

However, whenever Qin Qin Huairu thought about the relationship between Jin Jin Lian and Cao Cao Weiguo, she felt very unhappy. Even though she had a thing with Cao Cao Weiguo, after all this time, she wasn't as close to him as Jin Jin Lian was.

She had always wanted Bang Geng to call Cao Cao Weiguo godfather to pave the way for his future, but Cao Cao Weiguo looked down on Bang Geng. She had said all the nice things, used all the tricks, and flattered him in every way, but Cao Cao Weiguo wouldn't budge. Yet, when Jin Jin Lian gave birth to the little fatty and mentioned letting him call Cao Cao Weiguo godfather, that heartless man had happily agreed. It was enough to make one die of anger.

Especially after Cao Cao Weiguo became the little fatty's godfather, he treated him like his own son, sending all the good food, drink, and things he had. When Jin Jin Lian mentioned wanting to make clothes for the little fatty herself, Cao Cao Weiguo turned around and sent a sewing machine. It made her so jealous she couldn't sleep, making her suspect if the little fatty was actually Jin Jin Lian and Cao Cao Weiguo's child. Otherwise, for just a god-relative, would he be so attentive?

This time, Seeing Shazhu being provoked by Cao Cao Weiguo was definitely because of the little fatty again.

Whenever the little fatty got close to Cao Cao Weiguo, Seeing Shazhu would flare up, kicking stools, overturning tables, or smashing cups and bowls while arguing with Jin Jin Lian.

Seeing Shazhu said with a ferocious face: "Cao Cao Weiguo, that bad seed, he has ulterior motives. He intentionally became a godfather to sow discord between Jin Jin Lian and me, causing Jin Jin Lian to want to divorce me. That damn bastard, I'll break his dog legs sooner or later."

Qin Qin Huairu opened her eyes in surprise: "Jin Jin Lian wants to divorce you!"

Seeing Shazhu said hatefully: "That shrew has been brainwashed by Cao Cao Weiguo, taking him for a good person and me for a bad one. Even if she doesn't divorce, I can't live with her. Divorce, good! I'll divorce her tomorrow. I've long since found her an eyesore."

Qin Qin Huairu reached out and grabbed Seeing Shazhu's arm, looking heartbroken: "Sha Zhuzi, these years have been hard on you. Divorce is fine. You and Jin Jin Lian were never on the same path. Since you got married, you haven't had a few days of peace. Fighting every three days and arguing every five—I've felt bad watching it all these years."

Seeing Shazhu looked at the still-charming Qin Qin Huairu and listened to her tender words. He couldn't help but feel moved and couldn't resist pulling Qin Qin Huairu into his arms: "Qin Huairu, I've always liked you in my heart. I want to marry you, I want to live my life with you."

"Sha Zhuzi, what are you doing!"

Qin Qin Huairu pushed Seeing Shazhu away in fright, her face turning red as she scolded: "This is the courtyard! Are you crazy? If my mother-in-law sees this, she'll burn your house down!"
