Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Sha Zhu clenched his fists, anger burning in his chest. He wanted to punch He Yudong in the arrogant face.

"you......"

"Silly Zhu, stop talking." Qin Huairu pulled the corner of Sha Zhu's clothes and whispered, "This is my business, I can handle it myself."

Sha Zhu looked back at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness. He knew Qin Huairu's difficulties. She was a widow with three children. Life was not easy and she needed a man to rely on. Although He Yudong was a mean and shameless person, he could at least provide her with material security.

"Huai Ru, you..."

"Shazhu, thank you." Qin Huairu forced a smile, "Really, thank you."

Sha Zhu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Qin Huairu's forced smile. He knew that Qin Huairu was trying to persuade him to leave and didn't want him to get involved in this dispute.

"Huai Ru..." Sha Zhu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qin Huai Ru.

"Shazhu, please go." Qin Huairu pushed Shazhu, "I beg you, please go."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu deeply, then finally sighed, turned around and left.

He Yudong looked at Sha Zhu's back as he left, a smug smile on his face. He walked up to Qin Huairu, put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "See? Qin Huairu, no one can stop me from getting you!"

Qin Huairu's body froze, her eyes filled with fear and despair. She knew she had no way to escape.

He Yudong hugged Qin Huairu and walked into the house with a swagger.

In the yard, the onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only some whispers.

"This Qin Huairu is such a vixen, seducing one person after another."

"Yeah, I don't know what tricks she used to make Shazhu so obsessed."

"I think He Yudong is not a good guy either. He will be squeezed dry by Qin Huairu sooner or later."

......

As night fell, the courtyard was silent.

Only in He Yudong's room came a series of blushing voices...

The next morning, Qin Huairu washed clothes silently with dark circles under her eyes.

Her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.

At this time, Sha Zhu came over with two hot ones in his hands.

"Huai Ru, eat something."

Qin Huairu looked up at Sha Zhu, tears silently flowing down her face.

Sha Zhu sighed with heartache and reached out to touch Qin Huairu's head.

Just then, He Yudong walked out of the house. Seeing Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu being intimate, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Silly Zhu, what the hell are you doing here again?!"

He Yudong was stunned by this sudden change and stumbled back a few steps. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the uninvited guest in front of him. The visitor was thin and small, wearing a washed-out blue cloth jacket, with messy hair and a face covered in dust, like a mud monkey. But his eyes were piercing, burning with rage, staring straight at He Yudong, as if to devour him.

"Silly Zhu?" He Yudong recognized the man and said with a hint of contempt, "What are you doing here? Meddling in other people's business?"

Sha Zhu, whose real name is He Yuzhu, is the chef of the canteen of the steel mill and a well-known "fool" in the yard. He is upright and helpful, but also a bit stubborn and impulsive.

"Let go of Sister Qin!" Sha Zhu pointed at He Yudong and yelled, "You are being a hooligan!"

He Yudong sneered: "Playing hooligan? I'm pursuing my love! What do you know?"

"Love?" Sha Zhu seemed to have heard a joke. He pointed at Qin Huairu's swollen lips and messy clothes and said loudly, "You call this love? You are forcing it! It's an insult!"

The neighbors around him also began to talk about it and criticized He Yudong's behavior. However, He Yudong did not take it seriously and became even more arrogant: "I love Qin Huairu and I want to marry her. What's wrong with that? You idle gossipers, stop gossiping here!"

"You..." Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over, clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly grabbed Sha Zhu's arm and cried, "Sha Zhu, stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."

Sha Zhu felt distressed when he saw Qin Huairu's tearful face. He took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and said to He Yudong: "He Yudong, I warn you, stay away from Sister Qin in the future! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"

He Yudong curled his lips in disdain: "Who do you think you are? You dare to warn me? Who do you think you are? The guardian of the courtyard?"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said nothing. He knew that it was useless to reason with a man like He Yudong.

He Yudong straightened his clothes and said to Qin Huairu with a sneer: "Qin Huairu, remember, you will be mine sooner or later!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, and a group of neighbors who were talking about the matter.

Sha Zhu helped Qin Huairu up and asked with concern: "Sister Qin, are you okay?"

Qin Huairu shook her head, but her tears kept flowing down.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's helpless look, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that it was not easy for Qin Huairu, a widow with three children, and she was looked down upon and bullied in this courtyard. And He Yudong, this despicable and shameless villain, actually wanted to take advantage of the situation and force Qin Huairu to marry him.

The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the angrier he got. He wanted to rush over and beat He Yudong up. But he knew that would only make things worse. He had to find a way to protect Qin Huairu and stop her from being harassed by He Yudong.

"Sister Qin, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Sha Zhu said firmly.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked into Sha Zhu's sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. In this cold courtyard, Sha Zhu was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating her gloomy life.

"Shazhu, thank you." Qin Huairu said while choking.

Sha Zhu patted Qin Huairu's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't cry, everything is over."

However, what Sha Zhu didn't know was that all this had just begun. He Yudong's appearance was just the prelude to this storm. A bigger crisis was waiting for them.

He Yudong staggered a few steps and almost fell down due to the sudden push. He steadied himself and glared at the person in anger, but was stunned after seeing the other person's face clearly.

"Silly Zhu? Why the hell are you meddling in other people's business!" He Yudong cursed with gritted teeth.

Sha Zhu, a famous cook in the compound, is also He Yudong's mortal enemy. The two have been at odds since childhood, and they always quarrel whenever they meet, almost to the point of being incompatible.

Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and looked ready to fight: "I'm in charge today! You bastard, you dared to kiss a widow in broad daylight, do you have any humanity at all!"

"Whether I am humane or not is none of your business!" He Yudong rubbed his painful shoulder, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "Qin Huairu will be my wife sooner or later, I can do whatever I want to her!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Sha Zhu roared and swung his fist towards He Yudong's face.

He Yudong was prepared. He dodged the punch by leaning sideways and slapped Sha Zhu in the face with his backhand.

With a crisp "pa" sound, Sha Zhu was hit and staggered, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The people around were immediately excited and cheered as if they were watching a wonderful play.

"Well done! Kill this scoundrel!"

"Silly Zhu, teach him a lesson!"

"He Yudong, you beast, you even spared the widow!"

......

Qin Huairu took advantage of the gap between the two people's fight, hurriedly broke free from He Yudong's arms, hid aside, and trembled. She looked at the scene in horror, feeling like a bird trapped in a cage, at the mercy of others.

After being slapped, Sha Zhu became even more furious. He waved his fists and rushed towards He Yudong like a mad bull.

He Yudong was not willing to be outdone, and the two men wrestled with each other, punching and kicking each other, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

The yard was dusty and filled with sounds of shouting, cursing, and cheering, making it very lively.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" An old lady rushed into the crowd and tried to pull the two men apart.

However, the two angry men refused to listen and pushed the old lady to the ground.

"Ouch!" An old lady fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Now the scene became even more chaotic.

Some people went to help the old lady, some continued to watch and cheer, and some sneaked back home for fear of being involved in the dispute.

Qin Huairu looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with despair and helplessness. She didn't know what to do, nor did she know where her future lay.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Stop it!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a uniformed policeman walking over, followed by several people from the neighborhood committee.

"What's going on? Who is fighting here?" the police officer asked sternly.

Everyone suddenly quieted down and pointed at He Yudong and Sha Zhu who were fighting with each other.

Seeing this, the police immediately stepped forward, separated the two people, and took them back to the police station.

A farce will end here.

However, for Qin Huairu, this is just the beginning.

She knew that He Yudong would not let her go easily.

And how should she face the rest of her life?

He Yudong staggered a few steps, steadied himself, and looked at the person fiercely. It was Sha Zhu. He was standing in front of Qin Huairu with an angry look on his face, like a hen protecting her cubs. He Yudong sneered, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said contemptuously: "Hey, isn't this Sha Zhu? What's wrong? Are you heartbroken? Want to be a hero and save the beauty?"

Sha Zhu's eyes widened with anger, he clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth and said, "He Yudong, you bastard! Sister Qin is a woman, why do you treat her like this?"

"Why?" He Yudong laughed, as if he had heard a huge joke. "Because I like her, and because I want to marry her! What, do you have any objection?"

"Of course I have an opinion!" Sha Zhu roared, "Sister Qin is a good person, you can't bully her like this!"

"Bullying?" He Yudong raised his eyebrows, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "Silly Zhu, you better understand the situation. I'm pursuing her, how can it be considered bullying? If you don't like it, you can challenge me. Whoever wins will own Qin Huairu!"

His words shocked the people around him. This He Yudong is really a lunatic! He actually said such a thing in public! Qin Huairu was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't hold back her tears. She covered her face and ran away.

"Sister Qin!" Seeing this, Sha Zhu hurriedly chased after her.

He Yudong looked at the two people's backs as they left, and a sneer appeared on his lips. He just didn't believe that Qin Huairu could escape from his grasp!

Sha Zhu caught up with Qin Huairu and saw her crying. He felt distressed. He comforted her clumsily, "Sister Qin, don't cry. I won't let He Yudong, that bastard, go!"

Qin Huairu choked up and said, "Shazhu, thank you, I know you mean well, but...but I..."

"I know, I know you are worried about the children." Sha Zhu sighed. He knew Qin Huairu's difficulties. "But don't worry, I will help you, I will protect you, and I will not let He Yudong bully you again!"

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu's sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. In this cold courtyard, Sha Zhu was the only one who was really kind to her. But could she really accept Sha Zhu's help? Could she really let Sha Zhu pay for her with peace of mind?
