Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

The old man smiled mysteriously, leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

After Qin Huairu heard this, her expression was first shocked, then hesitant, and finally... determined.

"Okay!" she said through gritted teeth, "I promise you!"

......

He Yudong and Ran Qiuye returned to the courtyard. Both of them were immersed in the sweetness of love and had no idea that danger was approaching quietly.

They walked in the yard hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Yudong, you are so nice." Ran Qiuye snuggled in He Yudong's arms and said softly.

He Yudong stroked her hair gently and said, "Silly, I have become a better person because of you."

The two were talking sweetly when suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the corner, holding a shining knife in its hand, and stabbed towards He Yudong.

"Be careful!" Ran Qiuye exclaimed and pushed He Yudong away.

The knife stabbed into Ran Qiuye's shoulder, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

"Ah!" Ran Qiuye screamed and fell to the ground.

He Yudong was stunned by this sudden change. He stared blankly at Ran Qiuye lying in a pool of blood, his mind going blank.

The black shadow succeeded in his attack, but did not stop. Instead, he raised the knife again and stabbed towards He Yudong.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of He Yudong.

It’s…Qin Huairu!

The knife stabbed into Qin Huairu's chest and blood gushed out.

"Qin Huairu!" He Yudong exclaimed and hurriedly supported her.

"Why...why did you save me?" He Yudong asked tremblingly.

Qin Huairu's face was pale, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Because... I want you to... watch with your own eyes... the woman you love... die in front of you..."

After saying this, Qin Huairu slowly closed her eyes and her body went limp.

He Yudong held Qin Huairu's body and looked at Ran Qiuye lying in a pool of blood. Qin Huairu's last words echoed in his ears, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.

What…is going on?

Qin Huairu slumped on the ground, the rain mixed with mud soaking her clothes, like a destroyed wild flower. She stared at He Yudong's receding back, her eyes burning with jealousy, as if she wanted to burn him to ashes.

"He Yudong, you bastard! I have followed you for so many years, and you abandoned me for such a slut! I curse you to die a horrible death!" Qin Huairu cursed with gritted teeth, her voice hoarse, like a wounded beast.

She climbed out of the mud, staggered to the tree by the roadside, and held onto the trunk while breathing heavily. The pesticide bottle in the package hurt her, as if reminding her that there was one last way to go.

"It's better to die, death will put an end to everything..." Qin Huairu murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face. She thought of the bitterness she had experienced over the years, how much she had sacrificed for this family and for the vampires of the Jia family? In the end, she was abandoned.

"Why? Why is God so unfair!" Qin Huairu screamed to the sky, her voice filled with despair and unwillingness.

At this moment, a voice sounded behind her: "Huai Ru, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure standing behind her.

It’s Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was holding a bag of peanuts and two bottles of Erguotou in his hands. When he saw Qin Huairu's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then an obscene smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, isn't this the pretty widow in our courtyard? Why are you crying here alone? Are you missing a man?" Xu Damao walked up to Qin Huairu and said with a smirk on his face.

Qin Huairu glared at him with disgust and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xu Damao became even more proud. He leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered, "Huairu, I know you feel bad. Shazhu is a piece of shit. He dumped you for a little goblin. But it doesn't matter. I've always liked you. If you're willing, I'll marry you right away and make sure you have everything you want."

As he spoke, Xu Damao put his hand on Qin Huairu's shoulder.

Qin Huairu shook off his hand and said angrily, "Xu Damao, get out of here! Even if I die, I will never be with a scum like you!"

Xu Damao was startled by her sudden anger. He took a few steps back, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Don't be angry, I mean well..."

"Get out!" Qin Huairu roared again.

Seeing that she was really angry, Xu Damao didn't dare to pester her anymore and left angrily.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's back and felt even more desperate. She felt like a drowned dog, being chased by everyone.

She leaned weakly against the tree trunk, looking ahead with empty eyes.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her from a distance.

It’s He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was holding a bag in his hand and walking hurriedly, as if he had something urgent to do.

Seeing He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She thought, maybe He Yuzhu came back to find her, maybe he regretted it.

"Silly Zhu!" Qin Huairu shouted loudly.

When He Yuzhu heard someone calling him, he stopped and turned to look at Qin Huairu.

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, He Yuzhu frowned and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"What else do you have to say?" He Yuzhu asked coldly.

Qin Huairu saw the disgust in He Yuzhu's eyes, and her heart sank. She knew that He Yuzhu really didn't intend to pay attention to her anymore.

"Shazhu, I... I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit you and scolded you. Can you... can you forgive me?" Qin Huairu said crying.

He Yuzhu sneered and said, "Forgive you? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have for me to forgive you?"

"Silly Zhu, I...I beg you, I...I will never dare to do it again, can you...can you come back to me?" Qin Huairu knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu kneeling on the ground, without a trace of pity in his heart, only endless disgust.

"Qin Huairu, I tell you, it's over between us a long time ago! Don't come to me again!" He Yuzhu said, turned around and left.

"Silly Zhu! You...you can't do this to me! I...I have given so much for you! You...you can't be so heartless!" Qin Huairu cried and wanted to chase after him.

At this moment, a voice sounded behind her: "Huai Ru, stop chasing."

Qin Huairu looked back and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai walked up to Qin Huairu, sighed, and said, "Huairu, Shazhu has changed. He is no longer the same Shazhu as before."

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with despair in her eyes. She knew that Yi Zhonghai was right, He Yuzhu had changed, he was no longer the silly Zhu who obeyed her in everything.

"Uncle, what should I do?" Qin Huairu asked crying.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Huai Ru, you...you come with me."

Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't understand what Yi Zhonghai meant.

"Uncle, where are you taking me?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at her with deep eyes and said slowly: "Go to a place where no one knows you."

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai, and suddenly a bad feeling arose in her heart...

Qin Huairu slumped on the ground, the rain and mud splashing her clothes and blurring her vision. She stared at He Yudong's receding back, as if she wanted to carve him into her bones. The pesticide bottle in the package hurt her, as if urging her to make a break.

"He Yudong, you bastard! You will die a miserable death!" Qin Huairu screamed, her voice hoarse like a broken bellows. She struggled to stand up, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground powerlessly.

The pedestrians around her looked at her sideways, as if she were watching a monkey show. Some whispered, some pointed, and some laughed contemptuously. These voices pierced Qin Huairu's heart like needles, making her even more desperate.

"What are you looking at! Get out of here!" Qin Huairu roared at the crowd like a wounded beast.

The crowd dispersed, leaving Qin Huairu alone shivering in the rain. She hugged the package tightly in her arms, her heart filled with hatred. She hated He Yudong, Ran Qiuye, and even more so this indifferent world.

"I've given so much for you, and you treat me like this! Are you worthy of me?!" Qin Huairu cried out to the empty street, her voice shrill and desperate.

She thought of everything she had done for He Yudong: she washed his clothes and cooked for him, took care of his children, and did housework for him. She even gave up her dreams and her future for him.

But in the end, what did she get?

What she got was betrayal, abandonment and endless humiliation.

"He Yudong, I won't let you go! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!" Qin Huairu said gritting her teeth, her eyes full of resentment.

She opened the package tremblingly and took out the bottle of pesticide. The skull logo on the bottle looked particularly ferocious under the gloomy sky.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, and a pungent smell hit her face. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then put the bottle mouth to her mouth...

Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Qin Huairu suddenly opened her eyes and saw a strange man standing in front of her.

The man was tall, with a stern face and a hint of imperceptible pity in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Qin Huairu asked vigilantly.

The man didn't say anything, but silently snatched the pesticide bottle from her hand and threw it into the trash can next to her.

"Are you crazy?!" Qin Huairu roared, "Why do you care about my business?!"

The man sighed and said, "You only have one life, why do you want to commit suicide like this?"

"None of your business!" Qin Huairu pushed the man away, turned around and wanted to leave.

The man grabbed her and said, "Do you really want to die?"

Qin Huairu was stunned. She looked at the man with confusion in her eyes.

"I…I don't know," she murmured.

The man looked at her and said, "If you really can't survive, I can help you."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at him puzzledly.

The man smiled and said, "I can take you to a place where no one knows you and start your life anew."

Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't expect that this strange man would say such a thing.

"Why...why are you helping me?" she asked.

The man smiled and said, "Because I don't want to see a young life wasted like this."

Qin Huairu looked at the man, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in her heart.

In this cold world, there are still people willing to help her and care about her.

"Thank you." Qin Huairu said with sobs.

The man smiled and said, "No need to thank me, I just did what I should do."

He paused, then said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Qin Huairu."

"My name is Li Weiguo."

Li Weiguo took Qin Huairu out of the park and disappeared in the crowd.

He Yudong and Ran Qiuye continued their happy journey, completely unaware of Qin Huairu's experience.
