Although Sha Zhu was a big man, his weight was not as much as Jia Zhangshi after all. After being hit so hard, he swayed from side to side and almost fell down.

He was angry and anxious, and he stood up and shouted to Jia Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, if your eyesight is not good, go get treatment immediately. Can't you see that your daughter-in-law is about to faint?"

"If anything happens to Qin Huairu, there won't be anyone in your family who can go out to work and earn money. You'll just have to beg for food with your children."

"I tell you, in this situation, you may not even be able to get food even if you beg for it."

These words hit Jia Zhang's soft spot. She was most afraid of two things: first, being sent back to the countryside, and second, having no money to eat.

But he still said stubbornly: "Hmph! This is our family matter. It's not up to you, an outsider, to point fingers." As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Huairu.

His face seemed not right and his lips were pale, and Jia Zhang felt a little panicked.

At this time, Bang Geng came up and stopped Jia Zhang, crying, "Grandma, you don't want the watch anymore, please stop stopping me, let Sha Zhu help save my mother, wuwuwu..."

Jia Zhang followed the steps Bang Geng had given her and stood aside, still stubbornly saying, "If it weren't for my eldest grandson's plea, you wouldn't have dared to touch a hair of my daughter-in-law..."

Before Jia Zhang could finish her words, Sha Zhu had already picked up Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

The scene before her made Jia Zhang's anger, which had just calmed down a little, suddenly flared up again. She stepped forward to stop Sha Zhu and said, "What are you two doing? Put her down!"

Qin Huairu saw that things were not going well and her mother-in-law was about to throw a tantrum again, so she finally said, "Zhu Zi, don't go to the hospital. Put me on the kang."

Her voice was so weak that it made people feel distressed. Sha Zhu immediately felt a strong desire to protect her and gently put her on the kang as instructed.

After pressing the pillow that Bang Geng handed over and putting it on Qin Huairu, he said very gently, "Sister Qin, how do you feel?"

In Jia Zhang's eyes, this action was tantamount to flirting. How could she tolerate her daughter-in-law doing this with another man under her nose?

He twisted his fat body and squeezed in between the two of them, and said to Sha Zhu in a commanding tone: "Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu probably has hypoglycemia. There is no food at home. Go get her something to eat."

Sha Zhu was very unhappy to hear these words coming from Jia Zhang's mouth. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely jump up and curse loudly.

But he didn't know what happened today. Seeing Qin Huairu's weak appearance, he felt very distressed, and his reaction to Jia Zhang's attitude was not so intense.

"I have some sugar at home. Wait, I'll go make Sister Qin a bowl of brown sugar water." Sha Zhu said this and quickly walked out of Jia's house and rushed towards his own home.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui, who was looking around in the front yard, followed in his footsteps. His eyes lit up when he saw Sha Zhu taking out brown sugar from the cabinet.

This is a good thing, most people are reluctant to buy it, so they quickly said: "Zhu Zi, you want to take all this brown sugar to Jia's house? It's not necessary, right?"

Sha Zhu didn't say anything. He just found a bowl, scooped a spoonful of brown sugar into the bowl, then wrapped up the remaining brown sugar and put it back in the cupboard.

He poured water into the bowl and stirred it while saying, "Uncle, please stop talking at this time. If it's any later, Sister Qin will probably get into trouble. It's a matter of life and death."

After saying this, without waiting for Yan Bugui to speak, he hurried out of the house and ran towards the Jia family.

Yi Zhongyuan had just walked into the central courtyard when he saw Sha Zhu walking into the Jia family with a puzzled look on his face: Didn't Sha Zhu ignore the widow Qin? Why is he so enthusiastic now?

After returning home, he expressed his doubts. Auntie sighed and said, "I think Zhuzi still can't let go of Qin Huairu. What a silly boy."

"Qin Huairu has three children, plus her unreasonable mother-in-law. The burden is too heavy. It would be a shame for Zhuzi to find her."

After Yi Zhonghai finished talking to himself, he said to the auntie, "My dear, if it doesn't work, please go find out who has a daughter of the right age and tell Zhuzi about it."

"We can't just watch a good kid like Zhuzi jump into the firebed like that."

An old lady agreed with him and promised that starting tomorrow, whenever she had time, she would go to the nearby alleys to ask people for help.

When Sha Zhu walked into the Jia family with the brown sugar water, he was about to help Qin Huairu up and feed her the water, but was pushed aside by Jia Zhangshi.

After helping Qin Huairu up, he stuffed a few pillows behind her. After letting her drink several sips of brown sugar water from the bowl, Qin Huairu's complexion slowly returned to normal and she recovered.

She said to Sha Zhu with gratitude: "Zhu Zi, thank you so much for today, otherwise I would..." As she said this, her eyes turned red and tears fell.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu's heart tightened and he wanted to step forward to help her wipe away her tears. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang was quicker than him and immediately tore off a pillowcase and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand.

With a straight face, he said, "Okay, stop crying. It's nothing. Don't scare the children."

Then he turned around and frowned and said to Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, there is nothing for you to do here, go home quickly." Seeing that he did not move, he urged him: "Go, what are you looking at?"

Before leaving, Sha Zhu still felt uneasy. He looked back at Qin Huairu and said to Jia Zhang who was following closely behind him:

"Aunt Zhang, Sister Qin is not feeling well. Please don't let her cook tonight. Please feel sorry for your daughter-in-law."

"Alright, alright, just mind your own business first!"

Jia Zhang looked at the way Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu looked at each other and wanted to kick him out immediately, so she was naturally not polite when she spoke.

After leaving the Jia family, Sha Zhu could always think of Qin Huairu's tearful face, but he could not remember at all Jia Zhangshi's act of abandoning her after she had done her job.

Sha Zhu has something on his mind and can't concentrate on his work.

The steamed buns made in the evening were sour, and the fried cabbage was added with salt and vinegar twice. He Yushui only ate two bites and drank a whole teacup of water.

Complained: "Brother, are you possessed by evil spirits today? The food you cooked is terrible, don't you want to cook for me?"

Sha Zhu took a bite and found it really hard to swallow. He scratched his head and laughed, then quickly apologized to his sister.

That night, Sha Zhu tossed and turned in bed, thinking about all the things that had happened since he met Qin Huairu, and he couldn't fall asleep.

It was not until the second half of the night that I could no longer resist my tiredness and fell into a deep sleep, which lasted until noon.

Usually Yu Shui would call him before going out to school, but today, I don’t know if he couldn’t wake him up or if he was still holding a grudge against me for not eating enough last night, but Sha Zhu was definitely late for work today.

Without time to think, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran towards the steel mill without washing...
