Sha Zhu quickly prepared the remaining two dishes. When he brought them into the house, Lingzi and her parents were all silent.

He quickly asked everyone to sit down and eat together. At this time, the three of them looked at him in unison.

Lingzi's parents are okay. After all, they are too old and can hide their emotions appropriately even if they have a grudge against someone. But Lingzi is different.

At this time, she was not fully recovered yet. With the help of her mother, she sat up from the bed and said to Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi, come here, I want to ask you something."

Sha Zhu sat over obediently, and she immediately went straight to the point: "Zhu Zi, tell me honestly, is it your opinion about my parents? My parents..."

Lingzi's mother quickly winked at Lingzi and interrupted her: "Lingzi, don't talk like that, sit down and I'll bring you food."

"Mom, don't stop me. I heard everything you two said today. You two have loved me the most since I was a child. How could I let you suffer this injustice?"

When Lingzi thought about how her parents had been mad at her because of her, and how they had lost their child, she was so angry that she became more and more excited:

"Zhu Zi, although my family's conditions are not as good as those of the people in the city, every time I go home, doesn't my family give us everything they can?"

"Ask yourself, what have my parents done to you that you need to give them a hard time at this moment?"

Lingzi's words left Shazhu completely confused. He asked in bewilderment, "Lingzi, what do you mean? I didn't show my displeasure to my parents."

Seeing that Shazhu refused to admit what he had done, Lingzi felt a lump in her throat and her eyes immediately turned red.

His wife's eyes were red because of him, especially at this critical moment, Sha Zhu suddenly became anxious and came forward to hug Lingzi to comfort her.

But Lingzi was so angry that she refused to let him touch her. She waved her hands and beat him away: "Don't touch me!"

"He Yuzhu, are you a man? You dare to say it, do it but not admit it, right?"

As she spoke, Reiko's tears began to flow, and she sobbed as she recounted what she had heard today.

Then she raised her tear-stained face and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

After hearing what Lingzi said, Shazhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. What was going on? It was nothing like that.

He was cutting and chopping in the kitchen, not because of Lingzi's parents, but because Yi Zhonghai ignored him.

The attitude changed too quickly for him to accept it, so he took it out on the cabbage and potatoes at home.

Sha Zhu was so anxious that he scratched his head. The more nervous he was, the easier it was to make mistakes. For a moment he couldn't even speak clearly and kept waving his hands to express that he didn't mean that.

But in Lingzi's view, this took on a different meaning. She thought that Shazhu was so nervous because he was guilty, and he didn't dare to say a word.

After struggling to sit up straight, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "He Yuzhu, you disappoint me so much!"

At this time, Lingzi's father came over, raised his rough big hand and hit Shazhu twice. After all, he was a man who had been doing farm work for many years, although he was no longer young.

But he was still very strong. After being hit twice, Sha Zhu groaned and immediately lay on the ground, holding his chest.

At this time, Lingzi and Lingzi's mother just looked at Shazhu on the ground coldly, and they didn't even intend to step forward to persuade him, let alone stop Lingzi's father.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu simply lay there motionless, squinting his eyes and thinking about random things. After lying on the ground for a while, still no one paid any attention to him.

When he stood up, he found that Lingzi's family of three had already finished their meal and were sitting together, whispering to each other.

In this situation, it would be a lie for Sha Zhu to say he was not sad. He sat down at the table and ate the leftovers in silence. When he finished his meal, he put away the dishes.

Lingzi finally spoke: "Zhuzi, I plan to go back to the countryside with my parents. I will leave in a few days when I feel better."

The way Lingzi spoke with an expressionless face made Shazhu so frightened. This was the first time he saw such an expression on Lingzi's face.

He quickly told Lingzi the reason why he lost his temper in the kitchen today. After explaining it, he raised his head and smiled at Lingzi, "Wife, I'm not angry with our parents."

"I am the eldest uncle in our courtyard. You have wronged me." After saying that, he begged his mother-in-law on the side: "Mom, please help me persuade Lingzi!"

Sha Zhu's words made Lingzi's mother a little shaken. She looked at Lingzi's father for his opinion, but Lingzi's father turned his gaze to his daughter instead.

Lingzi curled her lips in disdain: "He Yuzhu, you don't even need to draft your lies now, you are really good."

Lingzi believed in her heart that Shazhu was lying. This must have been the excuse he came up with while lying on the ground. Unfortunately, this reason didn't work for her.

Sha Zhu kept saying that he didn't lie, and that this was clearly his true thoughts. He asked anxiously, "Lingzi, can't you just trust me this time?"

Lingzi shook her head in disgust, slowly moved to the head of the bed and lay down. At this moment, she didn't want to listen to anything Shazhu said.

This feeling of helplessness made Sha Zhu feel isolated and helpless. He stood there for a while, and finally sighed and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked out of the house, the door behind him was immediately closed by Lingzi's father.

Sha Zhu was extremely helpless, and in a panic he decided to go out for a walk, thinking that maybe by the time he came back from the walk, Lingzi would have calmed down.

He walked aimlessly out of the alley, and just as he reached the entrance of the alley, he met a woman carrying a basket.

It was none other than Qin Huairu. Someone from the next alley was getting married and asked her to help make a new set of clothes. The cloth in the basket belonged to that family.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu kicking the stones on the ground from afar and laughed: This boy, why is he kicking stones like a stick?

After walking closer, she smiled at him and said, "Zhu Zi, what are you doing? Why aren't you going home so late? Aren't you hungry?"

Qin Huairu's smile and caring words made Sha Zhu feel warm. Ever since Lingzi's accident, he had been looked down upon and had never seen her smile again.

He took good care of Lingzi and her parents, but unfortunately he couldn't get the results he wanted, which made him feel a little sad.

Qin Huairu saw that he was in a daze and didn't reply, so she asked again with concern: "Zhu Zi, what's wrong? Are you worried?"

Sha Zhu was like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances. His eyes turned red and tears fell. He was afraid that Qin Huairu would see him so he quickly wiped them with his sleeves:

"Sister Qin, it's nothing. I just feel a little sad."

"Is it about your wife's miscarriage? You two are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities to have children in the future. There is no need to do this."

"Sister Qin, you don't understand. I, my wife probably doesn't want me anymore..." Before he could finish his words, tears welled up in his eyes again.

It was the first time that Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu crying in front of her, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart...
