Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Wang Shitou punched Sha Zhu hard one after another.

Sha Zhu's face and body were covered with scars, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth.

But Wang Shitou had no intention of stopping and continued to attack frantically.

Seeing this, the neighbors rushed forward and tried to pull Wang Shitou away, but Wang Shitou had completely lost his mind at this time and did not listen to anyone's dissuasion.

Under Wang Shitou's continuous attack, Sha Zhu finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

His body became weak and his consciousness began to blur.

While Wang Shitou was still immersed in anger and punching and kicking Sha Zhu, member Li Dahai happened to pass by. He heard the fierce fighting and Cuilan's shouting from afar, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

Li Dahai quickened his pace and rushed over. When he saw Sha Zhu was beaten to death, he was shocked.

He rushed forward, hugged Wang Shitou, and shouted, "Shitou, stop it! You're going to kill him!"

Wang Shitou's eyes were already red with anger at this point, and he struggled hard to continue attacking Sha Zhu.

"Let me go! This bastard bullied my wife, I'm going to beat him to death!" Wang Shitou roared.

Li Dahai hugged Wang Shitou tightly, not letting him break free.

"Shitou, calm down! If you keep fighting, someone will die. Why can't we just solve the problem peacefully? Why do we have to resort to violence?"

While Li Dahai was persuading Wang Shitou, he looked at Sha Zhu lying on the ground, his heart full of worry.

Cuilan was also crying and said, "Shitou, stop hitting him. If anything happens to Shazhu, we will be responsible too."

With the persuasion of Li Dahai and Cui Lan, Wang Shitou finally calmed down.

He looked at Sha Zhu lying on the ground, feeling a little scared. Li Dahai saw that Wang Shitou was no longer impulsive, so he let him go.

Li Dahai looked at the dying Sha Zhu, frowning, and said anxiously: "Sha Zhu's injury is too serious. We need to send him to the hospital in the city as soon as possible."

Cuilan, who was standing by, looked worried and nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Yes, Shitou, Shazhu is injured like this, we can't delay any more."

However, Wang Shitou looked embarrassed. He bit his lip and said, "How much does it cost to go to the hospital in the city? We don't have that much money."

Li Dahai said anxiously, "Human life is at stake, Shitou. Now is not the time to feel bad about money. If anything happens to Shazhu, will you be able to live with it?"

Wang Shitou thought about it and decided not to spend so much money to send Sha Zhu to a hospital in the city. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask the village veterinarian, Mr. Liu, to take a look."

Cuilan was shocked when she heard this: "Veterinarian? How can that work? Shazhu is not an animal."

Wang Shitou said helplessly, "We don't have any other options. Uncle Liu is very experienced in treating animals in the village. Maybe he can help. Let him take a look first. It's better than doing nothing."

Li Dahai also frowned, but there was really no better way at the moment, so he could only say: "Then go quickly and come back and see what Uncle Liu says."

Wang Shitou immediately ran towards Uncle Liu's house.

Wang Shitou pulled the veterinarian, Uncle Liu, with an anxious look on his face, and said eagerly, "Uncle Liu, please help us. Shazhu is almost dying from the beatings, and we really have no other choice but to come to you."

Uncle Liu frowned and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Shitou, it's not that I don't want to help you, I only know how to treat cows, I can't treat this person's illness."

Wang Shitou tightly grasped Uncle Liu's arm and refused to let go. "Uncle Liu, just give it a try. You have so much experience treating animals in the village, maybe you can cure Sha Zhu, too."

Uncle Liu sighed helplessly and said, "Shitou, humans are different from animals. The methods I use to treat cows cannot be used on humans. If something happens, I can't take the responsibility."

Wang Shitou was so anxious that tears were about to come out. "Uncle Liu, we don't have any other way now. The village is far from the city. By the time Shazhu is sent to the hospital in the city, he may not be able to hold on. Please just save his life."

Uncle Liu still shook his head. "No, no, I really can't do this. If I make the cow sick, at most I'll lose a cow. But if I make a person sick, that's a life. I can't take that risk."

Wang Shitou looked at Uncle Liu in despair, "Uncle Liu, don't you have any solution? At least you can stop the bleeding first."

Although Uncle Liu was very worried, he finally softened his heart when he saw Wang Shitou's desperate and helpless eyes. He sighed and said, "Shitou, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I can cure it."

When Wang Shitou heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face and thanked him repeatedly: "Uncle Liu, thank you so much. No matter what the result is, we are grateful to you."

Uncle Liu turned around and went back to his hut, and after a while he came out carrying an old wooden box.

The wooden box looked quite old, with some wear and tear on the corners. He followed Wang Shitou and hurried to Wang Shitou's house.

After opening the wooden box, the veterinary tools inside were presented to everyone.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of large rusty scissors. These scissors were usually used to trim animals or deal with the hair around wounds. Although the blade was a bit blunt, it still exuded a cold and hard metallic smell.

Next to it was a roll of rough gauze, which was used to bandage animal wounds. It was thick in texture and a bit yellow in color.

  There is also a small iron box containing tweezers of various shapes. Some of the tweezers have very sharp heads and are used to pick up foreign objects from wounds.

Some tweezers are wider and are used to deal with larger wounds. In addition, there is a small bottle containing some unknown medicine with a pungent smell, which is usually used to disinfect animals.

The last one is a wooden stethoscope, which looks rather crude and is very different from the stethoscopes used for humans. Its earplugs are relatively large and the stethoscope head is also relatively rough.

Everyone looked at these veterinary tools and felt a little unsure, but there was no other way at this time.

Uncle Liu was very nervous when he saw Sha Zhu lying unconscious on the simple bed, but since things had come to this point, he could only go ahead with it.

He first picked up the big scissors and carefully cut open the blood-soaked clothes near Sha Zhu's wound. The scissors were a bit blunt, so Uncle Liu had to be extra careful, for fear of hurting Sha Zhu. After cutting open the clothes, the shocking wounds on Sha Zhu's body were exposed, including purple bruises and bleeding wounds.

Then, Uncle Liu picked up the bottle of medicine with a pungent smell, poured some on a clean cloth, and then gently wiped the area around Sha Zhu's wound to disinfect it.

Sha Zhu's body trembled slightly, and Uncle Liu's hands also trembled, but he continued with his actions.

After disinfection, Mr. Liu picked up the tweezers and carefully checked the wound for any foreign objects. His eyes were focused and nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fortunately, there was no large foreign body in the wound, only some tiny dust particles. Uncle Liu carefully used tweezers to remove the dust particles, and was extremely cautious in every move.

Then, Grandpa Liu picked up the rough gauze and began to bandage Sha Zhu's wound. Although his movements were not skillful, he was very serious, wrapping the gauze around Sha Zhu's wound layer by layer, trying to make the bandage tighter to prevent the wound from bleeding.

I have to say that although Uncle Liu is just a local veterinarian, he is quite skilled. In less than a short while, Sha Zhu woke up.

When Sha Zhu woke up slowly and gradually regained consciousness, he learned that he was actually saved by a veterinarian. An indescribable anger suddenly surged in his heart.

He struggled to sit up, his face flushed, and he shouted, "What? I was saved by a veterinarian? What's going on?"

Wang Shitou and Cui Lan rushed forward to support him and tried to calm him down.

Wang Shitou said awkwardly, "Shazhu, don't be angry. The situation was urgent and I had no other choice but to ask Uncle Liu for help. Uncle Liu was also trying to help me out of kindness."

Sha Zhu just couldn't listen. His eyes widened with anger. "Veterinarians treat animals. How can they treat humans? What if something goes wrong?"

Cuilan also gently persuaded him, "Shazhu, don't be so angry. Uncle Liu has done his best. If it weren't for him, you might have..."

Having said that, Cuilan did not continue.

Sha Zhu was still furious. He kept muttering, "This is ridiculous. I was actually saved by a veterinarian. How can I face people in the future?"

Wang Shitou sighed helplessly and said, "Shazhu, now is not the time to be angry. You just woke up and your body is still very weak. Have a good rest."

But Sha Zhu couldn't calm down at all. His heart was full of grievances and anger.

  Sha Zhu realized that this was a good opportunity, so he told Wang Shitou and Cuilan that if Cuilan did not change her confession, he would sue Wang Shitou for intentional injury.

When Wang Shitou and Cuilan heard what Sha Zhu said, their faces suddenly changed.

Wang Shitou's eyes widened with anger. "Silly Zhu, you're going too far! Although I hit you, you were the first to misbehave with Cuilan."

Cuilan was also anxious, "Shazhu, you can't do this. We don't want things to turn out like this."

Sha Zhu looked at Wang Shitou and Cui Lan, his eyes full of determination and coldness.

"I'm not trying to scare you. If Cuilan doesn't change her confession, I will definitely sue Wang Shitou for intentional injury." Sha Zhu's voice echoed in the room with an unquestionable momentum.

Wang Shitou was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Sha Zhu and cursed, "You ungrateful guy, Uncle Liu saved you out of kindness, but you turned around and threatened us. I don't believe you can do anything to me." Sha Zhu sneered, "Wang Shitou, don't be stubborn. It's an obvious fact that you beat me so badly. If I go and sue you, the government will definitely come to investigate. Then, you can just wait to be punished."

Cuilan was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She grabbed Wang Shitou and turned to Shazhu to plead, "Shazhu, you can't do this. We don't want things to turn out like this. Can you think of another way? We don't mean to hurt you."

Sha Zhu was not moved at all, "There is no other way. This matter can only be resolved if you change your confession. Otherwise, I will keep my word."

There was no other way, Cuilan could only agree to Shazhu's request. After all, she didn't want her husband to be taken away.

Sha Zhu set out on the journey back to Beijing with a heart full of exhaustion and a hint of triumph. Along the way, his mind kept replaying the difficult negotiation with Cui Lan and the fierce conflict with Wang Shitou. But when he thought that he had finally completed the mission and was one step closer to being with Qin Huairu, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

When Sha Zhu finally returned to the capital, he ignored his pain and went to find Qin Huairu as soon as possible. Qin Huairu was busy in the yard, and when she saw Sha Zhu, she showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Shazhu, what happened to you?" Qin Huairu walked quickly to Shazhu and looked him up and down. Shazhu's face was covered with bruises and his clothes were torn, obviously he had been through a fierce battle.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's concerned eyes, and his heart warmed. He gave a somewhat forced smile and said, "Huairu, I'm fine. I went to the small village to find Cuilan, and everything was settled."

Qin Huairu was touched and worried when she heard what Sha Zhu said. She gently stroked the wound on Sha Zhu's face and said distressedly, "Why are you so stupid? You made yourself like this for me."

Sha Zhu held Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Huairu, as long as I can be with you, I am not afraid of anything. Cuilan has agreed to change her confession, so Jia Zhangshi should fulfill her promise now."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with mixed emotions. She knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was, and she wasn't sure if she would really keep her promise. But looking at Sha Zhu's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to voice her concerns.

"Shazhu, don't think too much about it. You need to treat your wounds quickly." Qin Huairu said gently. She helped Shazhu into the house, asked him to sit down, then brought a basin of hot water and carefully wiped Shazhu's wounds.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's serious look, and his heart was filled with happiness. He felt that everything he had done was worth it, and as long as he could be with Qin Huairu, he could overcome any difficulties.

"Huai Ru, it's great to have you." Sha Zhu said softly.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu, her eyes full of tenderness. "Sha Zhu, don't be so impulsive in the future. I will be worried."

Just as Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were immersed in this moment of warmth, Jia Zhang rushed in. When she saw Sha Zhu, her face suddenly became gloomy, and her eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

"Shazhu, why are you here?" Jia Zhang asked in a bad tone, her voice so sharp that it seemed to cut through the air.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then straightened his chest and said, "I'm here to tell Qin Huairu that Cuilan's matter has been settled. Jia Zhangshi, you promised me that as long as I can make Cuilan change her confession, you will marry Qin Huairu to me. Now it's time to fulfill your promise."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly, with a hint of mockery on her face. "Do you really take yourself seriously? What if I agree to you? I have changed my mind now. Qin Huairu is my daughter-in-law, and she cannot marry a fool like you. Don't you think about your own character and whether you are worthy of Qin Huairu?"

Sha Zhu was so angry that his face turned red, and his eyes were burning with anger. "Jia Zhang, you are too much! I almost lost my life because of this matter, how could you do this to me? You promised solemnly at the beginning, but now you go back on your word, do you still have any conscience?" (End of this chapter)
