Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

Lin Feng looked at the strange couple in front of him and suddenly found it a little funny.

He originally just wanted to stop Sha Zhu from hitting people, but he didn't expect to be framed by this weird couple and was accused of "plotting something bad".

"Okay, you said I was up to something, right? Then I'll show you what I'm up to!"

As Lin Feng spoke, he suddenly put his arm around Qin Huairu's waist, pulled her to his side, and then lowered his head to kiss her...

Sha Zhu stared with bloodshot eyes, grabbed Qin Huairu by the collar, and spit on her face, "Qin Huairu, you are such a good person. I provided you with good food and drink, but you secretly met with a strange man behind my back! Do you still have a conscience?!"

Qin Huairu was startled by Sha Zhu's sudden action. She hurriedly pushed Sha Zhu away, wiped the spit on her face with the back of her hand, and screamed: "Sha Zhu, are you crazy?! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"I'm talking nonsense?! I saw you take something out of the cafeteria and give it to this man!" Sha Zhu pointed at the man who was so scared that he sat on the ground and shouted, "You still dare to quibble?!"

Qin Huairu's eyes rolled around, and she immediately cried out, "Silly Zhu, you misunderstood me! He is really my cousin, I, I just felt sorry for him and wanted to help him..."

"Poor? If you want to help him, just help him. Is it necessary to go behind my back and steal things from the factory to give them to him?!" Sha Zhu was furious. He never thought that after being so kind to Qin Huairu with all his heart, he would get such a result!

"I didn't steal! I just, I just..." Qin Huairu stammered and couldn't make any sense for a long time.

"What do you mean by 'you'?! You dare not take responsibility for what you did?!" Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pushed Qin Huairu to the ground and said, "I must have been blind to believe a woman as vicious as you!"

Qin Huairu was pushed to the ground by Sha Zhu, and she simply did not get up. She sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried, "Oh my God, I can't live like this! Sha Zhu is bullying me! There are so many troubles around a widow, and I can't even help my cousin! Is there any justice in this world?"

There were already many neighbors watching the fun around, and when they heard Qin Huairu's crying, they all gathered around.

"What's going on?"

"Silly Zhu, how can you hit a woman?!"

"That's right. It's not easy for Qin Huairu, a widow, to raise three children. How could you..."

Listening to the accusations from the people around him, Sha Zhu felt dizzy. He pointed at Qin Huairu and wanted to explain, but he couldn't utter a word.

"I didn't, I didn't..." Sha Zhu defended weakly, however, his voice seemed pale and powerless amid Qin Huairu's superb acting skills and the accusations of the neighbors around him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with a frown. He knew that this matter might not be that simple. He knew Qin Huairu's character and she was definitely not the kind of person that Sha Zhu said. There must be some misunderstanding here.

He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a sneer from outside the crowd, "Hey, isn't this the good man in our courtyard, Sha Zhu? What's wrong with you today? Are you throwing a tantrum like a shrew?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Damao walking towards them with his hands in his pockets and a sarcastic look on his face.

He came to Sha Zhu, looked him up and down, and said in a gloomy tone: "What's the matter? Are you worried about your thing? I told you a long time ago that Qin Huairu is not an easy person to deal with, but you didn't believe me. Now you know, right? It must be unpleasant to be cheated of money and sex, right?"

Qin Huairu was frightened by Sha Zhu's roar and her face turned pale. She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her eyes were dodging, not daring to look directly into Sha Zhu's eyes.

"Silly Zhu, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..."

"It's not what I thought? What was it like? I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to lie to me?!"

Sha Zhu pointed at the cowering man on the ground, and said angrily, "Tell me, what is your relationship?!"

The man was frightened by Sha Zhu and trembled. He glanced at Qin Huairu and said hesitantly, "I...I am really Qin Huairu's cousin. I came to the city..."

"Cousin? I think he's more like an adulterer!"

Sha Zhu roared and kicked the man in the stomach. The man screamed, fell to the ground holding his stomach, and groaned in pain.

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Qin Huairu rushed over to protect the man. She raised her head, looked at Sha Zhu with tears in her eyes, and begged, "Sha Zhu, I beg you, don't hit him, he is really my cousin..."

"Qin Huairu, how long are you going to keep pretending?!"

Sha Zhu was furious. "I must have been blind to believe a fickle woman like you! You were having a secret meeting with this wild man here, and you even stole things from the factory to give to him. And you still have the nerve to beg me?!"

"I didn't! I didn't steal anything from the factory!"

Qin Huairu shook her head desperately, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "I saved all this flour by living frugally, I just wanted to help my cousin..."

"Live frugally? Who are you kidding?!"

Sha Zhu sneered, "You are a widow with three children, and you have to support that old hag Jia Zhang every day. Where do you get the money to live frugally? Do you think I'm a fool?!"

"I......"

Qin Huairu was speechless after hearing Sha Zhu's words. She hated Jia Zhang in her heart. If Jia Zhang hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.

"Silly Zhu, please stop talking, please..."

Qin Huairu was crying so hard that her eyes were wet. She looked so pitiful that people around her felt pity for her.

"Silly Zhu, calm down. If you have anything to say, talk to me nicely and don't use your hands."

"That's right, Silly Zhu. It's not easy for Qin Huairu to be a woman. Don't bother with her."

"Silly Zhu, even if you don't want to give face to the monk, you should at least spare Qin Huairu this time for the sake of the Third Master."

......

Everyone started to persuade Sha Zhu, hoping that he would let Qin Huairu go for everyone's sake.

Sha Zhu looked at the scene in front of him and felt sad. He had given everything for Qin Huairu, but in the end, he got such a result.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Qin Huairu coldly, and said word by word: "Qin Huairu, from now on, we will go our separate ways. You go your way, and I'll go mine!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu no longer paid attention to everyone, turned around and left without looking back.

Qin Huairu didn't expect Sha Zhu to appear suddenly, let alone that he would be so angry. She was panicked for a moment and stammered, unable to speak.

"Silly Zhu, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..."

"Not what I thought? What was it like? I saw with my own eyes that you gave the flour to him, and you still want to quibble?!" Sha Zhu roared, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"I...I was..." Qin Huairu was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man got up and tried to run away, but was grabbed by Sha Zhu and knocked to the ground with one punch.

"You bastard, you dare to seduce my wife, I will beat you to death!"

Sha Zhu rode on the man and rained down his fists, beating him until he cried for his parents and his face was bruised and swollen.

Qin Huairu rushed forward and tried to hold Sha Zhu back when she saw this. "Sha Zhu, stop fighting. Stop fighting. Someone might die!"

"Go away!"

Sha Zhu pushed Qin Huairu away and beat him even harder, not stopping until the man was on the verge of death.

"Shazhu, are you crazy?!" Qin Huairu cried, "You beat him like this. If someone dies, you will go to jail too!"

Sha Zhu finally calmed down. He looked at the man who was beaten beyond recognition, and then at Qin Huairu who was crying bitterly. Suddenly, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He worked hard, saved money, and gave all his salary to Qin Huairu. Why? Wasn't it for this family, for her and her three children?

But what about her?

How did she treat him?

She actually secretly met with another man behind his back and even stole things from the factory to give to the strange man!

The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the angrier he got. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. With red eyes, he pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Huairu, I was really blind to fall for a fickle woman like you!"

After saying that, he turned around abruptly and left without looking back.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's departing back, collapsed on the ground, and burst into tears.

"Silly Zhu, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think..."

However, no matter how she cried and screamed, Sha Zhu never looked back.

This scene happened to be seen by Xu Damao who was hiding in the dark and watching.

Xu Damao originally just wanted to watch the fun between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, but he unexpectedly saw such a good show. He was immediately overjoyed.

"Haha, you silly Zhu, you silly Zhu, you have come to this day!"

Xu Damao was secretly happy. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He had disliked Sha Zhu for a long time. Who made Sha Zhu so big and strong that all the girls in the yard liked to hang around him?

Especially Qin Huairu. It was obvious that it was Xu Damao who took a fancy to her first, but she was snatched away by the big idiot Sha Zhu. He has been holding this anger in his heart and just couldn't swallow it.

Now that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have fallen out, Xu Damao’s chance has come!

When Xu Damao thought of this, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Qin Huairu didn't expect Sha Zhu to appear suddenly. Her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"Qin Huairu, you are such a traitor. I treat you like my own sister, and this is how you treat me?!" Sha Zhu was furious, pointing at Qin Huairu's nose and scolding, "You are such a traitor. You secretly met with a strange man behind my back and even stole things from the factory to give to him! Do you still have a conscience?!"

"Shazhu, you...don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't..." Qin Huairu wanted to explain in a panic, but Shazhu didn't give her a chance at all.
