Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 386

You could say you'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life.

With He Yuzhu's constant care, they lived a better life than anyone else.

But right now, for the sake of her younger siblings' happiness, only she, as the older sister, can step forward and jump into the fire.

She thought to herself that Yi Wending was, after all, a eunuch and could not have sex.

She was only nominally his wife when she married him, and she could still have sex with He Yuzhu.

This can be considered as giving Yi Wending a green hat (a symbol of being cheated on).

"How can this be done?"

Xu Zhaodi said, "Why can't this work? Can you think of a better way?"

This question left them speechless.

If someone had to be sacrificed, marrying the widow Xu Zhaodi to him would be the best outcome.

At the very least, it can preserve Xu Xiaomei's virginity, and she can still find a husband in the future.

This would also save Xu Damao from going to jail, which could be considered a win-win solution.

Xu Zhaodi said, "I need to ask He Yuzhu first to see if he has any ideas."

"What can he do?" Xu Damao felt annoyed whenever he heard He Yuzhu's name.

Xu Zhaodi certainly didn't want to ask He Yuzhu what his solution was; she wanted to discuss it with him first and get his consent, since she was still his mistress and her son was still his offspring.

"Isn't this all your doing? You hit someone, fine, but why did you hit them so hard?"

These words left Xu Damao speechless, and he also resented himself for kicking him before leaving.

But things have come to this point, and it's too late for regrets.

When Xu Zhaodi returned from her parents' home, she made a commotion in the courtyard. He Yuzhu heard it and used his spiritual power to investigate, knowing that Xu Zhaodi had returned.

After a while, they arrived at the neighboring courtyard. Zhao Di's eyes were red, clearly indicating that she had been crying.

He Yuzhu asked in surprise, "Who bullied you?"

"No one is bullying me. I have something to tell you."

He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions, but instead held her tightly in her arms.

Xu Zhaodi was very satisfied and whispered, "Yi Zhonghai went too far. Not only did he ask for 1500 yuan, but he also wanted my younger sister to marry Yi Wending."

"What?" He Yuzhu was genuinely surprised.

I never expected Yi Zhonghai to make such a condition.

1500 yuan is quite a lot. When Xu Wude served four years in prison, Yi Zhonghai gave him only this much compensation.

They all have to go back now.

What's even more outrageous is this second point, which is to make Xu Xiaomei marry Yi Wending.

He Yuzhu was furious. He had been trying to seduce that girl for so long and hadn't even gotten to sleep with her yet. Why should this guy surnamed Yi get to do it for free?

Xu Zhaodi said, "Of course I can't agree to this. My little sister is still young. This is like sending a lamb to the slaughter!"

"That's more like it. How do we resolve this?"

Xu Zhaodi said, "Since my younger sister can't go now, only I, a widow, can go."

"What do you mean by that?"

Xu Zhaodi said, "I am a widow. Since he wants to save face and find a wife for Yi Wending, then I have no choice but to marry him."

"You...you must be joking, you're mine."

Xu Zhaodi kissed him and then said, "I know I'm your woman, but I can't just stand by and watch my brother go to jail or my little sister marry him."

"Only a divorced person like me getting married is the best outcome."

"But he..."

"You mean Yi Wending? It's been confirmed that he's a eunuch and will never be able to hold his head high in this life. I don't think it's a big deal for me to marry him. He can't have my body anyway, and I'll still be your woman."

He Yuzhu said angrily, "No, I don't agree to this."

"Do you have any good ideas on how to prevent Damao from going to jail?"

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment after hearing this question.

Xu Zhaodi sighed, buried her head in He Yuzhu's neck, and said softly, "This is already the best solution. Who told Da Mao to do such a thing?"

He Yuzhu regretted not expecting Mediterranean to propose such conditions.

In his view, he would rather let Xu Damao go to jail than let Xu Zhaodi marry Yi Wending.

However, this is a matter between the Xu family and the Yi Zhonghai family.

He Yuzhu had no right to criticize them.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was angry, Xu Zhaodi said, "This matter may not necessarily come to fruition. I'm just letting you know, after all, this is just wishful thinking on our part."

Yi Zhonghai made it clear that he wanted Xu Xiaomei to marry into the family, so Xu Wude bargained and offered to let Xu Zhaodi, who had given birth to a son, take her place.

It's still unknown whether Yi Zhonghai will agree or not.

If Yi Zhonghai disagreed, he would have to marry Xu Xiaomei off to him, which would have made He Yuzhu very upset.

Having successfully conquered the milky white snow mountain, they failed at the very last moment.

Then someone will try to steal the bride's place and make the younger sister marry into the family.

"Wouldn't that be a disservice to my younger sister if she married him?"

Xu Zhaodi knew she was being wronged, but the Xu family didn't want Da Mao to go to jail right now, so they could only let one of the two sisters marry into the family.

We need to get a letter of understanding first.

The next day, Xu Wude bypassed the middleman and went directly to Yi Zhonghai to negotiate.

"No, absolutely not! How can we possibly change the person?"

Xu Wude got anxious and said, "Why not? Your eldest son is already like this. He just wants to get married to save face."

"That won't do either. Zhao Di already has a son. If she marries the eldest son, wouldn't that mean she wants us to raise her child?"

Compared to the third sister, Xu Zhaodi already has a child, so what's the point of marrying her?

The Yi family wanted to make Xu Wude suffer. By marrying his younger sister into the family, they intended to make her suffer for the rest of her life.

If it were Xu Zhaodi instead, the Xu family wouldn't be in such a predicament.

"Old Yi, don't push me."

Yi Zhonghai sneered, "Your son beat our eldest son so badly he couldn't have sex. Who forced whom?"

"If you keep dawdling, then Xu Damao will go to jail!"

"If that's the case, I don't want a single penny."

Yi Zhonghai once said, "Turn around and leave."

Xu Wude thought it over and over, but couldn't come up with any ideas.

Yi Zhonghai only gave two options: one was to send Xu Damao to jail.

The second thing is to pay 1500 yuan in compensation and to marry Xu Xiaomei off to Yi Wending.

For the sake of his son's future, Xu Wude made a firm decision and chose the second path.

When Xu Wude told his younger sister to marry the eunuch Yi Wending so that her brother wouldn't have to go to jail.

"What? You didn't let me marry someone surnamed Yi?"

Xu Wude nodded hesitantly.

Xu Xiaomei's face was full of disbelief. After digesting this information, she looked at her father.

At this moment, Xu Wude suddenly squatted down, buried his head in his hands, and cried:

"Little sister, don't blame your father. He had no choice."

Xu Xiaomei turned to look at her mother again and asked, "Mother, if I don't marry him, aren't you pushing me into a fire pit?"

Da Mao's mother was also in tears, hugging her little sister and saying:

"Don't blame your mother for being heartless, but you also have to think about it. If your brother goes to jail, our Xu family line will end and our descendants will die out!"

"But..."

“We have no choice. Your sister is willing to marry him, but Yi Zhonghai disagrees. He specifically named you as the one to marry into the family, otherwise he will send your brother to jail, which would ruin our whole family.”

Xu Xiaomei hated him to death and cursed Yi Zhonghai's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Even someone as seemingly righteous as Yi Zhonghai could come up with such a deceitful scheme.

The eldest sister had been married and divorced before, so it's not a big deal for her to remarry for her younger brother's sake.

But she was different; she was still a virgin. Although He Yuzhu flirted with her every day, she still maintained the bottom line of a girl and didn't let him succeed.

That damned Yi Zhonghai actually wanted me to marry that eunuch Yi Wending.

From now on, won't we have to call Yi Zhonghai our father-in-law?
