Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

Yi Zhonghai's appearance made the already quiet courtyard even quieter. Everyone was afraid to breathe, their eyes rolled around, afraid of missing a good show.

Sha Zhu was a little confused by this sudden obstruction. He let go of Qin Huairu and shouted impatiently to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Yi Zhonghai blew his beard and glared, pointing at Sha Zhu's nose and scolding him in a frustrated manner: "You bastard! How can you hug and cuddle in broad daylight? You have brought shame to our compound!"

"Shameful? You sir, I'm hugging my wife in broad daylight, how can it be shameful?" Sha Zhu retorted with his neck stiff.

"Your wife? When did Qin Huairu become your wife? Stop talking nonsense, kid!" Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Sha Zhu's words that he fumed and glared.

"Why isn't she my wife? I'm telling you today that I, Sha Zhu, like Qin Huairu! I want to marry her as my wife!" Sha Zhu put his arm around Qin Huairu's shoulders and announced loudly.

Qin Huairu was startled by this sudden confession. She tried frantically to break free from Sha Zhu's arms, but Sha Zhu held her even tighter.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about! Who wants to marry you!" Qin Huairu blushed and said in a low voice.

"Hehe, whether you marry me or not is just a matter of time!" Sha Zhu was delighted when he saw Qin Huairu's shy look. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss Qin Huairu's cheek.

"Shut up!" Yi Zhonghai roared, interrupting Sha Zhu's "sweet dream".

"Silly Zhu, wake up! Qin Huairu is Jia Dongxu's wife, what are you doing? Do you want to be the third party who destroys other people's families?!" Yi Zhonghai scolded in grief.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Qin Huairu was Jia Dongxu's wife, and Jia Dongxu was his good brother.

"I...I..." Shazhu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Shazhu, I know you like Qin Huairu, but feelings cannot be forced, not to mention that Qin Huairu is already someone else's wife. Are you doing this to Jia Dongxu?" Yi Zhonghai persuaded earnestly.

Sha Zhu lowered his head, his heart was in a mess.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Sha Zhu said in a low voice.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. Stay away from Qin Huairu in the future and don't do stupid things again." Yi Zhonghai said earnestly.

Sha Zhu nodded and let go of Qin Huairu's arms.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly took a few steps back and kept a distance from Sha Zhu.

"Uncle, I...I'll go back first." After Qin Huairu said this, she left the yard as if escaping.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's departing back, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Oh, what is going on?" Yi Zhonghai sighed, shook his head, turned around and went back to his room.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people in the yard dispersed.

Only Sha Zhu was left standing there, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Qin Huairu's figure kept appearing in his mind. Her voice, smile, gentleness and thoughtfulness were all deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.

"Qin Huairu, I really like you, but...but what should I do?" Sha Zhu murmured to himself.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Sha Zhu's mind.

"Ding! The host is detected to be in emotional distress. The system has been activated. Would you like to bind the host to the system?"

Sha Zhu was stunned at first, then he was ecstatic.

"System? Is it the system described in the novel?" Sha Zhu asked excitedly.

"Yes, host, this system is called the "Super Life Winner System" and can help the host realize any wish, including money, beauty, power, etc." The system's voice sounded again.

"Oh my God! This is so awesome!" Sha Zhu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Host, do you want to bind to the system?" The system's voice sounded again.

"Bind! Of course bind! I want to bind!" Sha Zhu said without hesitation.

"Ding! System binding successful! Congratulations to the host for receiving a novice gift pack. Would the host like to open it?"

"Open it! Open it quickly!" Sha Zhu said impatiently.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards:

1.

2.

2.

"Oh my God! This...this is too cool!" Sha Zhu looked at the rewards on the system panel and was so excited that he was incoherent.

"With this system, I must change my destiny. I will make all those who look down on me kneel down at my feet and sing "Conquer!" Sha Zhu clenched his fists and swore secretly.

What he didn't know was that his decision would completely change the trajectory of his life and the fate of the entire courtyard!

At this time, a figure walked over from a distance. When Sha Zhu looked closely, it turned out to be...

The appearance of Yi Zhonghai instantly brought the originally ambiguous atmosphere to a freezing point.

His face was livid, his beard trembling with anger, and he pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and cursed: "Sha Zhu! You bastard! In broad daylight, you...what are you doing?!"

Sha Zhu was startled by Yi Zhonghai's sudden anger, but then he stiffened his neck and retorted: "Uncle, I... Qin Huairu and I are truly in love! Please help us!"

"Bullshit!" Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How can you, a young man who is not married yet, have improper thoughts about a widow? How will the people in the courtyard see you? How will Qin Huairu live in the courtyard in the future?!"

Sha Zhu grumbled unconvincedly: "Master, what era is this? Why are you still using these feudal ethics? Qin Huairu and I are in love with each other, who is bothered by this?"

"You..." Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Sha Zhu's words that he almost choked. He pointed at Sha Zhu for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The onlookers couldn't help but whisper to each other when they saw that the usually highly respected Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Sha Zhu.

"This idiot is so bold that he even dares to contradict an old man!"

"That's right. I think he's really been blinded by greed. Who is Qin Huairu? Is she someone that can be easily provoked?"

"Hey, I don't think this matter is that simple. Didn't you see the look in Lin Sian's eyes just now? I guess this matter is not over yet..."

Qin Huairu was awakened by the quarrel between Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. She hurriedly broke free from Sha Zhu's arms, lowered her head, and twisted the corner of her clothes nervously.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance and became even more angry. He pointed at Sha Zhu and said angrily: "Sha Zhu, look at what you have done! How can Qin Huairu face people in the future?!"

Sha Zhu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes red, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle, this is not Shazhu's fault, it was me...I took the initiative..."

"What?!" Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu exclaimed at the same time when they heard this.

The crowd watching was in an uproar, with discussions rising one after another.

"Oh my God, did I hear it right? Qin Huairu actually said that she took the initiative?!"

"This... this is too exciting! Qin Huairu looks so weak, but I didn't expect she is so good at playing!"

"Alas, these days, you can never know a person's heart by looking at his face..."

Qin Huairu's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the calm lake surface, shattering everyone's cognition.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Qin Huairu ignored Sha Zhu's gaze. She took a deep breath and continued, "Uncle, I know it's wrong for me to do this, but...but I really have no choice..."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her face like pearls from a broken string.

"As a woman, I have to take care of my mother-in-law and raise three children. My life is already very difficult. Now Jia Zhang is paralyzed in bed, and the family is in even worse trouble..."

"I...I really have no other choice but to resort to this last resort..."

When Qin Huairu said this, she was already crying.

Her words silenced everyone present.

Yes, Qin Huairu is a woman who has to raise three children and take care of her paralyzed mother-in-law. How difficult must her life be?

Although they often talked about Qin Huairu, it was just talk.

After all, who doesn’t have problems?

Yi Zhonghai felt mixed emotions as he looked at Qin Huairu, who was crying bitterly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu hurriedly walked to Qin Huairu, hugged her in his arms, and said distressedly: "Huairu, don't cry, I'm here, I won't let you suffer any grievances!"

Qin Huairu leaned in Sha Zhu's arms, her tears flowing more and more.

She knew that by doing this, she was taking advantage of Sha Zhu's kindness and innocence.

But she really had no other choice...

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd:

"Hey, isn't this the famous widow Qin in our courtyard? What's going on? Has she hooked up with a new victim?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Sian standing outside the crowd with a sinister smile on his face, staring at Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu with resentment.

There was still a plaster on his arm, which was obviously broken by Sha Zhu.

Lin Sian's appearance made the already tense atmosphere even more tense...

Yi Zhonghai's appearance instantly brought the originally ambiguous atmosphere to a freezing point. His eyes widened, his beard trembling with anger, and he pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and cursed: "Sha Zhu! You bastard! How dare you act like a hooligan in the yard in broad daylight!?"

Sha Zhu was half sobered up by Yi Zhonghai's shout. He let go of Qin Huairu, blushed, and retorted with his neck stiff: "Uncle, how can you say that I am a hooligan? Huairu and I..."
