Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

"You...why are you here?" Qin Huairu's face was pale and her eyes were evasive, not daring to look directly into Lin Sian's eyes.

"Why can't I be here?" Lin Sian took a step closer and asked aggressively, "Didn't you say I was dead? Why are you disappointed to see me come back alive?"

Qin Huairu stepped back in fear, her face as pale as paper, and she stammered, "I... I didn't..."

"No? Then what are you afraid of?" Lin Sian sneered, grabbed Qin Huairu's wrist, pulled her in front of him, looked down at her panicked eyes, and said word by word, "Qin Huairu, I tell you, in this life, you are my woman, no one can take you away from me!"

Qin Huairu was frightened by Lin Sian's sudden action. She struggled desperately, trying to shake off Lin Sian's hand, but Lin Sian's hand was like an iron clamp, firmly holding her and making her unable to move.

"You...let me go! Help! Help!" Qin Huairu screamed in horror, her voice full of fear and despair.

"You can shout, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!" Lin Sian said viciously, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, like an enraged beast.

He carried Qin Huairu on his shoulders and strode towards his room, leaving behind the astonished Jia Zhang and the neighbors who were hiding behind the door and peeking.

With a loud "bang", the door was kicked open by Lin Sian, who then closed the door and threw Qin Huairu on the bed.

Qin Huairu got up from the bed in panic and tried to escape, but was grabbed by Lin Sian and pressed back onto the bed.

"What...what do you want to do?" Qin Huairu asked in horror, her body trembling slightly and her eyes filled with tears of fear.

Lin Sian sneered, pressed forward, stared at the prey under him with burning eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "What do you think? My dear Huairu, I have been thinking about you for a long time..."

The anger in Lin Sian's heart was like a pot of boiling oil, waiting for a spark to completely ignite. He clenched his fists and was about to break into the door and teach the mother and daughter a lesson, but suddenly stopped.

No, can't be so impulsive.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to reveal his identity. He had to first understand the situation and figure out what Qin Huairu was up to.

Inside the house, Qin Huairu was still sobbing softly, her thin shoulders heaving like a wounded bird, making people feel pity for her.

"Mom, I really don't want to marry someone else. I just want to stay with you and Bang Geng. Although our family of three may be a little bit hard, at least we are together..."

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? What's the point of guarding us? Can it make you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks? Can it make your brother live a good life?" Jia Zhang poked Qin Huairu's forehead in frustration, "I tell you, woman, the most important thing in this life is to find a good man. As long as you marry into a rich family, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks is just a matter of words. By then, let alone Bang Geng, even if it's ten or eight of your brothers, I can make them live a good life!"

"But, Brother Siang..."

"Don't mention that short-lived guy to me!" When Jia Zhang heard the name "Lin Sian", she was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She instantly got angry. "He has been dead for many years. Why are you still thinking about him? I tell you, he is a dead man now, a dead man who can't give you anything!"

"mom......"

"Stop talking, it's settled. Tomorrow you have to dress up beautifully for the blind date. If you dare to embarrass me, I will beat you to death!" Jia Zhang said, pulling out a wrinkled handkerchief from her bosom and stuffing it into Qin Huairu's hand. "Here are two dollars. Use it to buy some rouge and powder, and dress yourself up. Don't embarrass me!"

Qin Huairu took the handkerchief and tears burst out again. She choked with sobs and could not speak. She could only let the tears blur her eyes.

Lin Sian, who was hiding outside the door, heard it all clearly. He looked at the woman in the house who was working so hard to make a living, and felt mixed emotions.

Qin Huairu has clearly decided to remarry, but she still keeps saying "Brother Si'an". It's a pity that she doesn't practice acting instead of singing.

And that Jia Zhang, for the sake of money, actually forced her own daughter-in-law to remarry. She is so inhumane!

Lin Sian became angrier the more he thought about it. He clenched his fists and was about to rush in to teach the mother and daughter a lesson, but suddenly he heard hurried footsteps coming from a distance.

"Huai Ru, Huai Ru, are you home?"

A sharp voice came from the gate of the yard, and then a fat, ostentatious woman walked in with a slender waist.

"Oh, isn't this Third Aunt? Why are you here?" As soon as Jia Zhang saw the visitor, she immediately put on a smiling face and greeted her warmly.

"Didn't I hear that your Huairu is going on a blind date? I came here specially to see if there is anything I can help with." The third aunt said, her eyes sweeping over Qin Huairu, a hint of barely perceptible jealousy flashing in her eyes.

"Oh, thank you so much, Third Aunt, you are so polite." Jia Zhang took Third Aunt's hand and warmly invited her to sit down, "Huai Ru, why don't you pour Third Aunt a glass of water quickly."

"No, no, I can do it myself." The third aunt said, taking out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffing it into Qin Huairu's hand, "Huairu, this is a little gift from the third aunt, take it, and buy yourself something nice when you go on a blind date tomorrow."

Qin Huairu declined several times, but finally accepted the red envelope.

Seeing this, the third aunt showed a satisfied smile on her face. She patted Qin Huairu's hand and said earnestly: "Huairu, women, the most important thing in this life is to marry a good family. Don't worry, the third aunt will definitely help you with advice and will never let you suffer any loss."

Lin Sian stood outside the door, watching the hypocritical performance of the three women in the house, and felt sick. He couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to kick the door, but suddenly heard...

Lin Sian wanted to pry open this woman's head to see what was inside. The original owner saved money and worked hard to marry her, but in the end, he died, but she couldn't even wait for a day and rushed to climb into another man's bed!

He laughed in anger, strode into the house, grabbed Qin Huairu's arm and pulled her up from the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Qin Huairu was frightened by this sudden change and struggled in panic.

"What am I doing? I was just wondering what you are doing!" Lin Sian asked with gritted teeth, "I'm not even dead yet, and you're in a hurry to remarry. Do you still take me seriously?!"

Qin Huairu finally saw who the person was and was stunned. Her big watery eyes were filled with disbelief: "Si'an? You...you are not..."

"Nothing? Wasn't he captured by the Intelligence Department?" Lin Sian sneered, "Why, are you disappointed to see that I'm still alive?"

Qin Huairu opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She originally thought that Lin Sian was in danger this time. After all, the Intelligence Department was no joke. If she fell into their hands, she would be dead or skinned.

But now, he was standing in front of her, looking at her with eyes full of resentment, which made Qin Huairu feel guilty.

"I......"

"What do you mean by you? I'm telling you, Qin Huairu, if you want to marry someone else, there's no way!" Lin Sian interrupted her rudely, "You are my fiancée, Lin Sian. You can only be my woman for the rest of your life!"

"Si'an, listen to me..."

"I won't listen! Shut up!" Lin Sian roared, throwing Qin Huairu onto the bed. "You'd better behave yourself and don't let me hear that you're going to remarry. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Qin Huairu was frightened by Lin Sian's sudden rage. She curled up on the bed and trembled, not daring to say a word.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang rushed forward to protect her daughter, pointing at Lin Sian's nose and cursing: "Lin Sian, you have no conscience! How dare you come back! What did you promise my family in the first place? You said you would marry Huairu and take good care of us, but what happened? You just walked away, leaving us here to fend for ourselves, and now you still have the nerve to come back and act wild?!"

Lin Sian looked at Jia Zhang coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes: "What did I promise you? Did I promise to marry your daughter? Did I promise to take care of you and your daughter? Let me tell you, I, Lin Sian, never do business at a loss. I know very well what kind of person your daughter is. If it weren't for her pity, I wouldn't bother to care about her!"

"You...you..." Jia Zhang was so angry at Lin Sian's words that her face turned blue. She pointed at his nose and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What do you mean by 'I'? I'm telling you, Jia Zhang, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to marry your daughter to a rich man so that you can enjoy the good life together. I'm telling you, don't even think about it!" Lin Sian sneered, "No one can take away what belongs to me, Lin Sian!"

After saying that, Lin Sian grabbed Qin Huairu's wrist, pulled her up from the bed, and forcibly dragged her out of the room regardless of her struggle.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" Qin Huairu shouted in horror while struggling.

“Shut up!” Lin Sian roared, dragged her to the center of the yard, then pushed her to the ground, pointed at her nose and said, “I’m telling you, Qin Huairu, listen to me clearly, from today on, you are my woman! If you dare to run or resist, I will break your legs!”

Qin Huairu was frightened by Lin Sian's words. She collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, with fear and despair in her eyes.
