Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1959 Not a fuel-efficient lamp

The silly one is back!
In an instant, when the people in the middle courtyard saw Sha Zhu, this sentence was all in their minds.

Then, everyone turned their attention to the person next to Sha Zhu.

That woman is Sha Zhu’s new wife?
And it looks like she's pregnant.

Your belly has grown so big, it’s growing so fast!
This idiot Zhu is coming back now. Is he going home to celebrate the holidays?

But, does he have a home?

Everyone was thinking about it in their hearts, and soon their eyes turned to the entrance of Qin's house and Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yang Xiaotao heard the sound, carried his two daughters to the door, and then saw Sha Zhu standing there.

"Silly Zhu? Why is this guy back?!"

Yang Xiaotao muttered quietly, and Ran Qiuye put down the things in his hands and shook his head, "I don't know!"

Wang Dashan and a few others nearby glanced at Sha Zhu and stopped paying attention to him. Instead, they came up to Yang Xiaotao and started chatting with him.

Sha Zhu also saw Yang Xiaotao, especially the place where he lived, because that was his former home!

There are all the beautiful memories of his childhood!

But now, the owner of the house has become the person he hates the most, how can he be willing!

After glaring at Yang Xiaotao, Sha Zhu calmed himself down, glanced at the Qin family not far away, and finally walked towards the old man's house.

Qin family, Qin Huairu knew this morning that Yi Zhonghai had returned.

And Yang Xiaotao.

She found out after being woken up in the middle of the night.

I originally thought that Ran Qiuye was having an affair with a man at home, but then I thought that was impossible. Who would have an affair with a man at home? If they wanted to do that, they would have to go to the cellar.

The place is not only private but also soundproof. Apart from being a bit cold, everything else is fine.

So she concluded that Yang Xiaotao had returned.

In the following time, my ears were filled with noisy sounds and images appeared involuntarily in my mind.

It wasn't until dawn that it quieted down and she took a nap.

After getting up in the morning, she went to sit at an uncle's house and planned to have a reunion dinner together at noon.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she and an old lady were restricted from leaving the courtyard by the street office. They could only live frugally at home and wait for the results of the investigation.

But in her opinion, after so many days, there has been no result, which is the best outcome.

This shows that the other party has not found any evidence to prove that they were engaging in speculation.

So, it won't be long before they can continue.

It just so happens that the medicinal wine at home has been almost soaked these days, so it should work.

As for the medicinal liquors from the pharmaceutical factory, she had no way to deal with them.

We can only hope that the pharmaceutical companies eat the meat and leave them some soup.

Just when she went home to clean up the house and celebrate the reunion with her uncle, she heard the sound of bells in the yard.

I didn't think much about it at first, but then I heard people in the yard talking about Sha Zhu and so on, so I decided to go out and take a look.

Lift your legs and go out.

Qin Huairu was stunned.

Silly, I'm back.

For a moment, Qin Huairu didn't know what she felt.

Is it joy, resentment, or inexplicable expectation...

But then he looked at the little girl next to him, and the woman holding her belly next to him.

In an instant, Qin Huairu felt a sharp pain in her heart.

It was as if the best thing in my life was taken away from me.

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.

Tears seemed to be about to burst out, and I tried to lower my head so that no one could see them, and thought about going back to the house.

When I saw the thing hanging on the handlebars, I couldn’t move my legs anymore!
On the other side, Sha Zhu also saw Qin Huairu coming out, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

My heart ached.

Without my help, this woman must have suffered a lot.

I saw the woman I used to be, the tears on her face, and her red eyes on her thin cheeks.

If you look closely, you can see that his body has also become thinner.

Perhaps the only thing that has not changed is the existence of filling up the clothes.

咕咚
Qin Huairu's past appearance appeared in his mind, and Sha Zhu swallowed his saliva.

He felt that Qin Huairu now seemed more beautiful than before.

"Stupid column!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

When Sha Zhu heard a familiar voice, he turned around and looked.

Then a dishevelled, slovenly man ran in quickly from the hanging flower gate.

"Jingru!"

When the person got closer, Sha Zhu recognized who it was.

People in the surrounding courtyard also discovered that this was Qin Jingru who was taken away to assist in the investigation.

Qin Jingru felt extremely aggrieved at this time.

She thought she had found a confidant and trusted Tian Jing completely, but in the end, this woman actually harmed her.

But what made her most sad was Qin Huairu.

After all, we are cousins.

You can't write two characters for Qin with one stroke.

After I went in, she didn't even visit me, didn't bring me food, and didn't care about me at all. There was absolutely no family affection at all.

Fortunately, her mother-in-law visited her twice and brought her some warmth.

I don’t know how I managed to get through this period of time.

Living in a small space, eating steamed corn bread, and worrying all day long and unable to sleep well, this kind of life tortured her and almost drove her crazy.

Today, I finally made it through and regained my freedom.

She wants to come back and seek justice from Qin Huairu.

But unexpectedly, I saw Sha Zhu as soon as I entered the door.

So I couldn't help but shout.

"Kyoru!"

Sha Zhu uttered two words again and wanted to continue speaking, but he didn't know what to say.

He and Qin Jingru are the kind of people who cannot be seen in public.

Even though she had been pregnant with two children, in the end...

Perhaps this is the consequence of having a wrong name.

Both children were gone in the end!

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Jingru, feeling inexplicably complicated.

But when he saw Shen Cuihua's expression, he immediately recovered and ignored Qin Jingru.

At this time, Qin Jingru also saw Shen Cuihua, especially her belly. Her eyes shrank, and she thought of something.

Then he pointed at Sha Zhu and cursed him, his teeth slid along his lips, "You, you bastard whose conscience has been eaten by dogs, you still have the nerve to come back!"

"You, you bastard!"

As he said this, he walked up to Qin Huairu, and after their eyes met, they stood aside.

The two sisters will settle their scores later. Now they are on the same side.

Don't let this happen to you!

Sha Zhu understood the meaning of Qin Jingru's words. He knew that she was not standing up for Qin Huairu, but was full of resentment towards him.

But he can't even protect himself, what can he do?
He felt a little upset, especially when he saw Qin Huairu. He thought he came back to spend a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, but now he kind of regretted coming back!

"Pillar, is it a pillar?"

There was another voice behind him, and Sha Zhu could tell it was that of an old lady.

Looking back, I saw an old lady coming out.

Behind him, Yi Zhonghai was holding the door frame with one hand, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Auntie, uncle, I'm back to see you!"

Sha Zhu calmed down and remembered the purpose of this trip.

As he said this, he led the child over.

"This is little pomegranate, call me grandma!"

Little Pomegranate was shy, but he still timidly called out "Grandma".

"Hey, good!"

The aunt was a little overwhelmed, but she didn't tell her child.

Yi Zhonghai also nodded, indicating his acceptance.

"This is Cuihua, my wife!"

When Shazhu said this, he didn't feel very confident.

Especially with Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru standing behind him, he lowered his voice for no reason.

Shen Cuihua was unhappy, but fortunately she had been mentally prepared before coming, so she didn't say much. Instead, she looked at the two of them with a calm expression.

"This is an old lady and an old man..."

Sha Zhu introduced them again, and Shen Cuihua came to Sha Zhu's side, "Auntie, Uncle!"

"I am Zhuzi's daughter-in-law."

"I often hear him talk about how you took care of him in the past..."

When Shen Cuihua was speaking, her eyes kept glancing at the Qin sisters standing beside her. How could she not know these two people?

Especially the recent incident of medicinal liquor in the countryside, the two sisters were behind it.

Not to mention the others, one is Shazhu’s current boyfriend, and the other is his ex.

Although the means are not fair, the benefits gained are real.

What's more, Shen Cuihua felt that Qin Huairu was the same type of person as her.

Just as Shen Cuihua was looking at Qin Huairu and her sister, Qin Huairu was also looking at Shen Cuihua.

This woman is not simple.

It is especially difficult for widows who are raising children alone in rural areas.

She absolutely doesn't believe that this woman would remain faithful to her husband, otherwise would she ask Sha Zhu to divorce her?

The reason why Sha Zhu couldn't control his lower body was definitely because of this woman.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu remembered the reason why Sha Zhu came back.

Her heart was suddenly lifted up, because she knew that Sha Zhu's only thought was about this courtyard.

But he doesn't have a house in this yard.

The only hope is Yi Zhonghai's family.

And this is also hers!
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu looked at Shen Cuihua with an even more fierce gaze.

Because she knew that Shazhu was a fool and would not do such things. The only explanation was that this woman was behind it.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai was chatting politely with the aunt and Shen Cuihua, and then they both looked at Shen Cuihua's belly.

"Auntie, uncle, I, Shazhu, have a successor too!"

When talking about children, Sha Zhu immediately became proud.

I originally thought that I would be like Yi Zhonghai, with no descendants in this life, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and I now have a child.

This time it’s real, and I can say it openly without having to hide it.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai remained calm on the surface, but felt bitter in his heart.

I wanted a child all my life but couldn't get one, but Sha Zhu, actually got one!

"well!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "If your father knew, he would definitely be happy for you!"

When Sha Zhu heard Yi Zhonghai talking about He Daqing, his expression darkened and he remained silent!

He hated it at first and thought that there would never be such a person in his life.

But later, after a series of events, he understood what was going on.

At that time, he forgave his father.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Now he doesn’t know where He Daqing is or whether he is dead or alive.

Seeing Sha Zhu like this, Yi Zhonghai felt very complicated.

At the beginning, he wished so much that Sha Zhu could be with Qin Huairu, and that Sha Zhu could be a man for once.

But it just doesn't work.

As a result, he didn't dare to move his hands and feet, for fear of implicating Qin Huairu.

I couldn't wait any longer!
But now...

Silly Zhu is actually working again.

He glanced at Qin Huairu who was standing in the distance, and felt that it was not that Sha Zhu was not working hard, but that Qin Huairu had lost her initial enthusiasm.

Otherwise, Shazhu would have had a child after only being away for a few months!
But now that things have come to this, he doesn't know what to say.

An auntie was saying this to Shen Cuihua, but in her heart she was happy for Sha Zhu. Although he was driven to the countryside, he unexpectedly had a child, which was a blessing in disguise.

While she was happy for Shazhu, the aunt felt a little embarrassed.

How is Shazhu going to come back in this state?

How can I be with Qin Huairu in the future?
Both of them have always set their sights on providing for Sha Zhu in their old age.

Even though Sha Zhu went to the countryside, he was unwilling to give up after investing for so many years.

Therefore, the old couple both hoped that Sha Zhu could change his mind and reconcile with Qin Huairu.

But now, the situation is a little beyond our expectations!
"Uncle, when did you come back? I was wondering if you would come back to see me..."

Sha Zhu was also happy to see Yi Zhonghai, and asked quickly.

"I came back last night..."

Yi Zhonghai talked about his situation and saw that Sha Zhu was still full of respect for him, especially that he was thinking of coming back to visit at this time, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

"It would be nice if Sha Zhu had a son!"

"By the time…"
