Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"I think you've never liked me from the bottom of your heart. All these years you've helped me probably just because you felt sorry for me and took pity on me."

“There are a million reasons why it’s impossible for the two of us to be together. Your dad would be the first to disagree, and the kids wouldn’t be able to face it.”

“What’s more, the neighbors in the courtyard, the coworkers in the factory, especially Xu Damao, they will all laugh at you.”

"Is it a joke that you can't find a wife, nobody wants you, so in the end you can only take a widow like me as your wife?"

He Yuzhu felt a pang of sadness as he listened to these words. Seeing Qin Huairu standing there with her head down, crying as she spoke, his heart ached.

He didn't go up the escalator again. He slowly walked up to Qin Huairu and looked at her, who was sobbing. He hesitated to speak.

Tears streamed from the corners of Qin Huairu's eyes, flowing down her cheeks and pattering onto her half-undone floral cotton-padded jacket.

"But I still want to be with you."

"Because I understand you, I know that in this world I am the best to you."

"You might find what I'm saying ridiculous, but that's okay. I'm not in a hurry, I can keep waiting for you."

"You're going to marry Liu Yuhua, so let's get married."

"I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for the day you change your mind, the day you get tired of being with her. Then you'll know how good I am."

Outside the cellar, Cao Xu leaned against the wall, listening to the conversation inside. He knew that Sha Zhu was about to be taken down.

He had just come home to get something when he saw Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu go down into the vegetable cellar one after the other.

Out of curiosity, he followed along, only to witness this fascinating spectacle.

Qin Huairu is Qin Huairu. Even though He Yuzhu is about to marry Liu Yuhua, she still won't let him go. It seems like she's going to try and steal him away.

"Cao..."

At this moment, Cao Xu saw Xu Damao walking towards him and made a shushing gesture to her.

Xu Damao walked over with a suspicious look and whispered.

"Cao Xu, what are you doing here?"

Cao Xu smiled slightly and pointed to the vegetable cellar passage.

"They're performing opera inside. Just listen and don't talk."

Xu Damao immediately became interested, and Cao squatted down at the door.

"Sister Qin, can we stop crying?"

He Yuzhu's biggest weakness is that he's afraid of women crying, especially Qin Huairu.

Whenever she cries, all of He Yuzhu's principles vanish completely.

He crouched down and patted Qin Huairu's back to comfort her.

"If others see this, they might think I did something to you, and that would be a terrible injustice to me."

"Sister, please don't cry. Your crying is making my heart ache."

"I'm about to get married, what are you trying to do by putting on this show today?!"

Qin Huairu raised her head slightly and said.

"I already said that I love you, and I'm doing this so that I can marry you."

Qin Huairu's words were quite clear, and Sha Zhu understood them as well.

But when she bluntly said she wanted to marry him, he was still stunned.

"Didn't you say this afternoon that you agreed to marry Liu Yuhua just to get into Fengzeyuan?"

"Since that's the case, then you should marry me. If I marry you, you can still enter Fengzeyuan."

"They only stipulated that you could only enter after you got married, but they didn't say that you had to marry Liu Yuhua."

He Yuzhu opened his mouth to speak, but Qin Huairu interrupted him.

"Don't say anything yet, let me finish."

"This afternoon I asked you, if a woman who looks a lot like me were willing to marry you, would you still marry Liu Yuhua? What did you say?"

He Yuzhu said.

"I……"

Qin Huairu countered with a question.

"What, can't you remember?"

"Then let me tell you, if anyone you say is better than Liu Yuhua, you would have dumped her."

"Are you now going to deny it?"

"Or is it that you look down on me from the bottom of your heart, and think that I am not good enough for you, and not as good as that Liu Yuhua?"

He Yuzhu responded immediately.

"How could that be? Sister Qin, don't belittle yourself like that. In my heart, you are ten times, a hundred times better than that Liu Yuhua."

"Sister Qin, to be honest, I can't live without you either."

"But……"

Qin Huairu raised her face and looked at He Yuzhu with a hint of grievance.

"Do you think I'm being taken advantage of because I'm not a girl?"

He Yuzhu shook his head.

"My dear sister, could you please let me finish what I have to say?"

Does He Yuzhu dislike Qin Huairu because she's not a girl?

Of course not!

He wasn't some naive young man; he'd experienced everything, he just held the title of first-time bride.

Now that Qin Huairu has put it this way, he naturally has to give an answer.

"What I was trying to say was, why didn't you say that sooner? If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have even met Liu Yuhua. We would probably have already gotten our marriage certificate and gone to the bridal chamber by now!"

Qin Huairu's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. She had finally won over Sha Zhu. It would be a piece of cake for her to control him now.

"I wish I had said this sooner. Back then, with my mother-in-law around, even if I had said it, would you have dared to tell her you wanted to marry me?"

"Besides, my mother-in-law also has a heavy burden. Things are different now. I asked my mother-in-law today, and she probably can't give me an estimate for the next three to five years."

“I can find a place to be an apprentice and support myself. The money I earn is enough to support my two daughters.”

"Now that I've gotten through the hardest times, I can be with you without any burden, so I won't be a burden to you."

"If we want to get married, all we need to do is get past your dad. As for what the neighbors say, let them say it."

He Yuzhu said.

"You've thought things through quite thoroughly; all that's left is to get the marriage certificate and become the groom."

Qin Huairu suddenly reached out and grabbed He Yuzhu by the collar.

"You just said you'd enter the bridal chamber and become the groom, is that true?"

He Yuzhu suppressed his rising desire and waved his hand.

"Sister Qin, we're not in a rush. We can do it after we get our marriage certificate."

Qin Huairu felt that she should stick to the original plan and completely win over Sha Zhu, lest he change his mind after waking up.

Based on her understanding of He Yuzhu, she knew that as long as she gave herself to him, he would definitely take full responsibility.

"Silly Zhu, look at how I am, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

Outside the cellar, Xu Damao, who was squatting at the door, heard He Yuzhu's words. He stood up, looked at Cao Xu, and whispered.

"Cao Xu, is this idiot Zhu 4.6 ruined? He still can't play? Is he even a man?"

Cao Xu leaned against the wall, thinking to himself, "How would I know if he's crippled? You're in a similar situation; you know best than anyone else."

Seeing that Cao Xu didn't speak, Xu Damao squatted back down by the door to continue eavesdropping.

Inside the cellar, He Yuzhu's eyes were slightly red as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Qin Huairu, stop messing around. I'm a grown man. If you keep teasing me, I really won't be able to hold back."

Qin Huairu said.

"Silly Zhu, if you're willing to marry me, I'm willing to marry you. I've already been so proactive, so why are you..."

When Qin Huairu said this, her eyes drifted down to He Yuzhu's waist and below, and He Yuzhu understood the meaning behind that look.

After being discharged from the hospital following his injury, that area had already become his Achilles' heel, and Qin Huairu's provocation made him unable to hold back any longer.

He swallowed hard and pounced on it, not caring whether the cellar was cold or not.

Xu Damao clenched his fists as he listened to the voice coming from inside. Haha, it's done!

This time he caught them red-handed, and he's determined to parade them through the streets!
