Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

44

What terrible luck she's had! How did her life end up like this?

It's so difficult, so incredibly difficult!

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more upset she became. She couldn't help but purse her lips, and tears streamed down her face.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and rolled off her smooth face.

It flowed over her pointed chin, dripping one drop at a time into the laundry tub.

Qin Huairu's brows were furrowed, but her face was still incredibly alluring.

Even when she puts on a worried face, she doesn't look old; instead, she exudes a pitiful charm that makes you want to hold her in your arms and cherish her.

That's what Sha Zhu is thinking right now.

He moved closer to Qin Huairu as if his feet were on springs, his eyes glued to her face, drool practically dripping from his mouth.

Sha Zhu grinned, his voice sticky and slurred.

"Sister Qin! Sister Qin, I'm here! I've missed you so much these past few days!"

"Sister Qin, do you miss me? You must miss me a lot, right?"

"You know that I, Shazhu, have a heart full of sincerity towards you!"

Why haven't we seen each other for the past month?

It's all because Sha Zhu is dragged out to parade through the streets before dawn every day, leaving him covered in dirt and grime.

Qin Huairu found him embarrassing and would avoid him whenever she saw him, not wanting to talk to him at all.

It's considered unlucky!

Especially after the scandal involving Sha Zhu and Xu Damao came out, Qin Huairu felt even more disgusted.

This brainless thing, she clearly likes men, yet she keeps pestering me.

Nausea!

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's voice, Qin Huairu glared at him fiercely and cursed him angrily.

"Silly Zhu, is that you? What are you looking for?!"

"Shouldn't you be going to find Xu Damao? Aren't you two a couple?"

"You idiot Zhu, you've already hooked up with Xu Damao, and you still come bothering me, Qin Huairu? Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu reached into the washbasin, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it at Sha Zhu.

"Splash!"

Sha Zhu got splashed all over his face.

Most people would feel ashamed and run away after encountering such an obviously humiliating act.

But Sha Zhu is different; he's a scoundrel.

He didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.

Sha Zhu stared at Qin Huairu with a look of expectation mixed with a hint of grievance.

"Sister Qin, are you saying this because you're jealous? Are you jealous of my silly Zhu?"

"That's wonderful! I knew you'd understand my sincere feelings!"

"To be honest, what happened between me and Xu Damao was all a misunderstanding, Sister Qin, you have to believe me!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu stared at Qin Huairu expectantly, hoping that she would believe in his innocence.

But Qin Huairu was determined not to embarrass him today.

She had long been fed up with Sha Zhu's endless harassment, and today she was determined to teach him a lesson and humiliate him severely!

Qin Huairu sneered, glancing at him sideways, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Oh? Silly Zhu, you're saying it's a misunderstanding with Xu Damao?"

"You mean, you two didn't get together?"

"You two were seen naked by everyone in the yard, and that was a misunderstanding?"

"Do you really think I, Qin Huairu, am stupid? I was there that day, I saw it all clearly!"

As Qin Huairu spoke, the scene from that day flashed through her mind.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were pinned to the ground by Lu Zhenxing.

Those two bright red things that were showing.

It's obviously not a legitimate product.

Qin Huairu, after all, was someone who had been through it all.

It was obvious at a glance what those two had done.

There's something fishy going on between them, is that even a question?

Now, Sha Zhu is doing the opposite, refusing to admit anything.

Still trying to fool her?

Hmph, does she really think Qin Huairu is so easy to fool?

Thinking about that incident, Qin Huairu felt nothing but anger and disgust.

She couldn't help but give Sha Zhu a disgusted look.

But she had no idea how powerful that look was to a sycophant.

In that instant, Sha Zhu realized how much Qin Huairu disliked him.

It felt like I had fallen into an ice cave.

I felt so terrible!

Sha Zhu stared at Qin Huairu with a pained expression.

He put on a pitiful look and said:

"Sister Qin, it's really not what you think, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"I have nothing to do with Xu Damao. My heart is only for you, Sister Qin."

"Sister Qin, don't you know how I feel about you? Sister Qin! My dear Sister Qin!"

In the end, Sha Zhu was so moved by his own words that he was almost moved to tears.

Tears and snot covered his face.

I was so moved by my own words.

But the more Qin Huairu looked at him, the more disgusted she felt.

I think that idiot Zhu is a complete scoundrel!

She clearly has an ambiguous relationship with Xu Damao, yet she dares to spout nonsense here.

He wanted to fool Qin Huairu.

Fortunately, she was a worldly-wise widow.

If it were some clueless little girl, she would have been screwed over by Sha Zhu!

That idiot Zhu, what a bastard!

Qin Huairu became increasingly angry as she thought about it.

He raised his hand and slapped her.

"Snapped!"

A slap landed hard on Sha Zhu's face.

Sha Zhu was completely dumbfounded.

He covered his face and stared blankly at Qin Huairu.

He opened his mouth and stammered, "..."

"Sister Qin, why did you hit me?"

Qin Huairu gave a cold laugh, pointed at his nose, and began to curse:

"I'm going to beat you up, you shameless bastard!"

"Even now, you're still insisting that nothing's wrong with Xu Damao. Are you treating me like a fool?"

"You think you can fool me, Qin Huairu? Pah!"

Qin Huairu became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

She was already annoyed enough by having that simp, Sha Zhu, constantly pestering her.

As it turned out, she ended up discovering that this idiot Zhu was the real jerk.

She likes men and got together with Xu Damao!

What is that silly Zhu trying to gain by clinging to her all these years?

What's this guy up to?!

Could it be that all these years, Sha Zhu has been playing her for a fool?!

hateful.

hateful!

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu raised her hand and struck again.

"Snapped!"

The slap landed squarely on Sha Zhu's face.

This time, Sha Zhu's face turned bright red.

A clear handprint.

He covered his face, and his eyes immediately reddened.

I felt so wronged.

Sha Zhu hissed in pain, looking pitifully at Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, why did you hit me again? You slapped me twice, it hurts so much!"

"Sister Qin, how could you treat me like this? I've already told you, it was a misunderstanding between Xu Damao and me!"

"Sister Qin, my feelings for you are completely sincere. Can't you really feel that at all, Sister Qin?"

In the end, Sha Zhu felt extremely wronged.

Tears streamed down my face.

He looked at Qin Huairu with tears and snot streaming down his face, looking pitiful.

Qin Huairu almost vomited from seeing it.

She didn't just finish with those two blows.

You have to swing it a third time, and a fourth time.

I absolutely have to vent all this anger!

That idiot Zhu actually dared to try and deceive Qin Huairu.

They ate them one after another; he and Xu Damao were completely clean.

They really think Qin Huairu is a fool.

They're not wronged at all!

With that thought in mind, Qin Huairu became even more ruthless.

Raise your hand, and use all your strength.

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap!"

Six slaps in a row, so fast I couldn't even see them.

It just hit Sha Zhu right in the face.

Sha Zhu didn't even have time to dodge before the slap landed.

In an instant, Sha Zhu felt as if he had been hit six times on the face.

Immediately following was a piercing pain.

The pain was so intense that his eyes nearly popped out, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He covered his face, which was swollen like a pig's head.

After taking a deep breath, he screamed at the top of his lungs like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah! Ahhh! Ahhh!"

"My face! It hurts so much!"

"Sister Qin, why did you hit me so hard?!"

Despite her delicate appearance, Qin Huairu is actually quite strong.

Qin Huairu's ability to establish herself at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and raise her three children was not solely due to luck.

For a widow to go to such lengths, she was certainly no pushover. Not only was she cunning, but she also possessed a strength almost comparable to a man's.

Without saying a word, he swung his arm and slapped Sha Zhu across the face seven times in a row, the sound of the slaps echoing loudly.

Sha Zhu's face wasn't completely smashed, which means he's lucky he's tough.

Even if it wasn't rotten, its face was still swollen like a pig's head.

The pain was so intense it felt like it could blow your skull off.

No wonder Sha Zhu was howling like a wild boar, his face covered in tears and snot, jumping around in pain.

He glared at Qin Huairu, his eyes wide like copper bells. Although his face was so swollen that his expression was obscured, his aggrieved look still shone through.

Tears streamed down his face as he cried and cried out, "Sister Qin, how could you do this to me? You're so heartless!"

"I've poured my heart out to you, can't you see any of that? Sister Qin, are you really not moved at all?"

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin, you hit me so hard! But my heart aches even more, Sister Qin!"

As Sha Zhu spoke, he looked expectantly at Qin Huairu, hoping she would come over and say a few words to coax him.

Despite his aggrieved tone, he harbored no resentment whatsoever.

Although she didn't understand why Qin Huairu took action, she felt quite aggrieved.

But who told him to be such a simp? He wouldn't dare harbor the slightest resentment towards the goddess, Sister Qin.

He thought that after Sister Qin beat him up, she would surely believe what he said.

I believe that there is nothing wrong between him and Xu Damao.

Then come over and comfort him a bit, and finally accept his sincere feelings.

He and Sister Qin should be an enviable couple.

Thinking this way, a hint of expectation appeared on Sha Zhu's face as he looked at Qin Huairu pitifully, waiting for her to soften her heart.

Little did anyone know, Qin Huairu had no intention of coaxing him at all.

She spat directly onto Sha Zhu's face.

"Pooh!"

You just slapped him seven times, and now you're going to comfort him? Dream on.

Qin Huairu isn't mentally unstable; she wouldn't do something so contradictory.

Only a simpleton like Sha Zhu could come up with such an absurd plot.

Qin Huairu squinted, a cold smile playing on her lips, and immediately began to hurl insults.

"You dare ask me why I hit you? Don't you have any idea what despicable things you've done?"

"You and Xu Damao's little affair, do you think anyone can't see through it? You think you can fool me? Do you think I'm stupid!"

"If you dare to lie to me, I'll slap you."

After saying that, Qin Huairu raised her hand again and rushed over to slap him a few more times.

She kept cursing, "I not only dare to hit you, I dare to keep hitting you!"

"What can you do to me?"

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu raise her hand again, he was so frightened that he shuddered.
