Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Qin Huairu pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Xu Damao, we'll each take half of the loss, and I'll give you another twenty yuan, and we'll let this matter go."

"If you're still not satisfied, then I can't do anything about it. The worst that can happen is that both of us will perish."

Xu Damao was delighted when he heard this. He thought that Qin Huairu, who loved money like her life, would not pay a penny, but he did not expect that Qin Huairu was willing to bear half of the loss. This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for him.

Although Xu Damao was overjoyed, his face remained cold and frosty as he said in a deep voice:

"For Qin Jingru's sake, I agree with your plan, but from now on, no matter if you have any problems or not, don't come to me. If I get involved with you, nothing good will happen."

"Everyone is right. You, Qin Huairu, are a disaster star. Whoever gets close to you will be unlucky."

Qin Huairu said with a gloomy face: "Xu Damao, you've gone too far."

Xu Damao said impatiently: "Stop talking about those useless things and give me the money quickly. From now on, we will never have anything to do with each other again."

Qin Huairu said with a gloomy face: "I don't have any money on me, I'll give it to you when I get home tonight!"

Xu Damao said coldly, "Qin Huairu, you'd better not play tricks, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

Qin Huairu said indifferently: "Don't worry, since I promised to give you money, I will definitely give it to you."

"You better keep your word!"

Xu Damao snorted coldly and left without looking back.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's departing back, and a surge of anger surged in her heart. Then she felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and finally despair.

"Is this really how my life is going to be?"

"No, I can't just let Sha Zhu go. I've been waiting for three years, just waiting for an opportunity. I want to fight for it. I'm not trying to prove how great I am, I just want to tell everyone that I must get back what I lost."

……

As soon as the bell rang, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to come to the infirmary. When Ding Qiunan saw He Yuzhu, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

Doctor Pi teased, "Deputy Director He, you're really quick. Are you so impatient to see our Doctor Ding?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Laopi, Qiunan and I are newlyweds and can't bear to be apart for a moment. You've been through this before, so I believe you can understand."

Doctor Pi smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. Who hasn't been young once?"

Ding Qiunan listened to the two people's conversation and said shyly, "Brother Zhuzi, let's go."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Laopi, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to go home with my wife."

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

He Yuzhu left the steel mill and said to Ding Qiunan beside him:

"Qiu Nan, we have to go to your parents' house first."

Ding Qiunan asked curiously, "Why are you going to my parents' house?"

He Yuzhu explained: "Of course, I told them that the rumor issue has been resolved and told them not to worry."

Ding Qiunan agreed, "Hubby, you're really thoughtful. They must be worried about us today. Only when we tell them everything's fine can they feel at ease."

He Yuzhu came to the Ding family and told his father-in-law and mother-in-law about the things happening in the factory. After hearing it, the two elders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dad, I was planning to assign you to the steel mill tomorrow, but Director Li said that my case had just passed and it would have a bad impact if you joined the factory now. He asked you to go and complete the entry procedures in a week."

"Zhu Zi, what Li Changli said is right. I'm not in a hurry at all. I've been idle for so long, so a week or two won't make a difference."

"OK then!"

When He Yuzhu came back from his father-in-law's house, he went into the kitchen to cook. His father-in-law and mother-in-law had tried their best to invite him and his wife to have dinner at their house, but because of the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu declined.

After dinner, He Yuzhu and Ding Qiunan returned to their rooms.

After washing up, He Yuzhu took out a novel and was about to read it while lying on the bed when Ding Qiunan excitedly said:

"Hubby, don't read the book yet, tell me the story of Qin Huairu!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu did not refuse and told the story of Qin Huairu calmly.

"Before we talk about Qin Huairu's story, we must first talk about the composition of the Jia family."

"The men of the Jia family died early, leaving behind Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, mother and son, to depend on each other. Jia Dongxu is Qin Huairu's husband, and Jia Zhang is Qin Huairu's current mother-in-law."

"Qin Huairu is a country girl. It would have been difficult for her to marry into the city. However, in order to save money on the bride price and to provide a free labor force for the family, Jia Zhang married her son to Qin Huairu, a country girl."

"Ever since Qin Huairu joined the Jia family, Jia Zhang has acted like the Empress Dowager, asking her to do everything for her. If she's not satisfied, she'll either beat or scold her..."

He Yuzhu drank three large glasses of water and spent more than three hours telling Qin Huairu's story.

After listening to this, Ding Qiunan said with a complicated expression, "Hubby, Qin Huairu is a perfect example of the saying that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. You helped her so much, but she didn't know how to be grateful. Instead, she turned her kindness into hatred. If she hadn't committed suicide, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

He Yuzhu sighed, "A little kindness, a peck of rice, a grudge." Some people are like that. If you help them moderately, they might be grateful, but if you help them with all your might, they'll take it for granted. If you even slightly disappoint them, they'll blame you, or even hold a grudge against you."

"After what happened to Qin Huairu, I came to a conclusion: let go of the need to help others and respect their fate."

"Everyone has their own destiny. If you take the initiative to interfere with the fate of others, you will have to bear the consequences of this fate yourself."

Ding Qiunan hesitated and said, "Husband, what you said is too weird, isn't it?"

He Yuzhu said seriously, "It's not weird at all. If I hadn't helped Qin Huairu's family, Qin Huairu wouldn't have ruined my blind date, and I wouldn't have divorced twice and finally married you."

Ding Qiunan smiled and said, "In that case, I have to thank Ding Qiunan!"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "From your perspective, you should definitely thank Qin Huairu, otherwise you wouldn't have the chance to marry such an outstanding man like me."

"But from my perspective, I hate Qin Huairu to death. If I hadn't woken up in time, I might have been childless in this life."

Ding Qiunan pondered for a moment and agreed, "Husband, you are right. We cannot interfere with other people's fate, otherwise we will suffer the backlash of fate."

"Hubby, tell me more about Bang Geng. How was he castrated? And how did he end up in a juvenile detention center?"

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time and said, "Wife, it's getting late. We should do something meaningful."
