Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 309 He Yuzhu is divorced?

The next day, the early morning sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the bluestone slabs of the courtyard, creating a faint golden glow. He Daqing had already gotten up. He found a corner in the yard and sat down, his eyes downcast, as if he was thinking about something.

As time passed, people in the yard began to get up one after another. He Daqing deliberately adjusted his sitting posture, making his body look more hunched, and an indescribable sadness appeared on his face.

Whenever someone passed by him, he would pretend to look up casually, then quickly lower his head.

Soon, Aunt Wang, the gossipy neighbor, came out of the house carrying a basket of vegetables. She noticed He Daqing's unusual expression at first glance and couldn't help but walk over curiously.

"Daqing, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?" Aunt Wang asked with concern.

He Daqing raised his head, a barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes. He sighed softly and spoke slowly: "Alas, it's all because of that kid Yuzhu..."

When Aunt Wang heard that it was about He Yuzhu, she immediately became interested and asked quickly: "What happened to Yuzhu? Didn't he just get promoted? This is a big happy event!"

He Daqing shook his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, he was promoted, but...he and Liu Xiuxiu divorced."

"What?!" Aunt Wang's eyes widened in surprise, "Divorce? How is that possible? Haven't they always been doing well?"

He Daqing sighed and began to explain in detail: "In fact, the reason for this divorce is mainly because of the incident with Yu Zhu last time. Liu Xiuxiu was afraid of being implicated, so she wanted to get more money and even left her son and just left like that."

At this point, He Daqing showed a trace of grief and indignation on his face, as if he was defending He Yuzhu. Aunt Wang was completely attracted by the story, and she sighed from time to time while listening.

The neighbors around heard the noise and gathered around. Some were standing, some were sitting, all of them listening attentively to the "truth" told by He Daqing.

He Daqing raised his head from time to time, observing everyone's reactions. Seeing expressions of sympathy and anger on their faces, he couldn't help feeling secretly proud.

Finally, He Daqing felt that the heat was just right, and he stood up with satisfaction. He lowered his head slightly and carefully patted the dust off his trouser legs a few times, as if to shake off all his worries and uneasiness.

Then he raised his head, a smug gleam flashed in his eyes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He turned around and said to the neighbors who were still talking around him: "Okay, it's time for me to go back. Chang'an is still waiting for me at home." After that, he took a step and walked towards home. His back looked a little lonely in the sunlight.

The neighbors were still discussing the matter between Liu Xiuxiu and He Yuzhu. One enthusiastic aunt first expressed her opinion:

"As for Liu Xiuxiu, I always thought she wasn't a good person. She was just lucky to meet He Yuzhu. If He Yuzhu had married my daughter, there wouldn't have been so many problems." She shook her head as she spoke, her face full of regret.

"Stop talking like that. With your daughter in that condition, He Yuzhu wouldn't even want her even if she was given to him for free." Another middle-aged woman retorted bluntly.

"But then again, Liu Xiuxiu must be regretting it now." The aunt from before felt a little embarrassed when she thought of her daughter's laziness and willfulness, and quickly changed the subject, saying:

"He Yuzhu is now such a high-ranking official. If Liu Xiuxiu hadn't left, she would definitely be in great glory now."

"What's the use of regretting? The He family definitely doesn't want her anymore." Another auntie added, "I don't think she is destined to enjoy life. She can't even grasp such a good opportunity." There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her tone.

The neighbors around nodded in agreement, their voices gradually faded away, and He Daqing had disappeared into the yard and returned to the house.

......

He Yushui got up early this morning, feeling a little heavy-hearted because of the conversation she had with He Daqing and He Yuzhu yesterday. She quickly washed up and headed to the broadcasting room with her carefully prepared breakfast.

Yu Haitang was sorting out the broadcast script, and when she saw He Yushui coming in, she showed a pleasant surprise on her face. But when she saw that He Yushui was holding breakfast in his hand, she took it with some embarrassment.

"Yu Shui, why did you bring me breakfast? This is so embarrassing." Yu Haitang said with a smile, but there was a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Seeing Yu Haitang's embarrassment, He Yushui quickly waved her hand and explained: "Oh, Haitang, don't be polite. We are just friends, don't take such a small matter to heart." As she said that, she walked to a chair nearby and sat down with a helpless smile on her face.

Yu Haitang nodded gratefully and began to enjoy her breakfast. He Yushui watched her quietly, feeling a little hesitant.

After Haitang finished breakfast, He Yushui took a deep breath and said tactfully: "Haitang, I want to discuss something with you."

Yu Haitang put down the cutlery in her hand and looked up at He Yushui: "What's the matter? Tell me."

He Yushui hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Haitang, the matter between my brother and you...maybe we have to wait a little longer."

Yu Haitang was startled when she heard this, and the cutlery in her hand paused slightly. But she quickly returned to normal with a smile on her face:

"Oh, so that's it. It doesn't matter if your brother doesn't like me. I believe I deserve someone better." Although Yu Haitang said this, there was a hint of disappointment in her tone.

He Yushui looked at Yu Haitang's white fingers, and the guilt in her heart spread like ripples. So, she took a deep breath and explained in a more sincere tone:

"Haitang, you really misunderstood. It's not that my brother doesn't like you, but he considers that his divorce has not been made public to everyone, and he wants to wait until these things are resolved before arranging a meeting. He is really afraid that others will misunderstand you, and he doesn't want you to be implicated in any way."

Yu Haitang listened to He Yushui's words, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She frowned slightly, looked at He Yushui with some disbelief, and then asked: "Are you telling the truth? Does he really think so?"

He Yushui nodded with a firm expression: "It's true, Haitang. My father has already started to take action today. I believe that within two days, everyone will know about my brother's divorce."

Hearing this, the haze in Yu Haitang's heart dissipated a little. She raised her lips slightly, revealing a hint of pride, and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll give your brother another chance. I'll wait for him to deal with these things and come back to me."

He Yushui was relieved to see Yu Haitang finally let go. She smiled and said, "Yes, yes, please! My brother will definitely take care of it as soon as possible."

Hearing He Yushui teasing her, Yu Haitang's face flushed. She rushed over and stretched out her hands to tickle He Yushui's itch.

He Yushui dodged with a smile, and the two of them started to laugh and play in the broadcasting room. Their laughter was clear and pleasant, echoing throughout the broadcasting room, as if even the air had become lighter.
