Chapter 461 1 Uncle, you have to make the decision for me!
Early the next morning, Jia Zhang ran to Sha Zhu's house and started crying and making a fuss, saying that Qin Huairu seduced Sha Zhu and brought disgrace to the family, and demanded that Sha Zhu must be responsible for Qin Huairu.
Sha Zhu was given a headache by her quarrel. He wanted to explain clearly, but Jia Zhang didn't give him a chance to speak. She kept crying and shouting, attracting many neighbors to watch.
Yi Zhonghai heard the noise and rushed over. He knew Jia Zhangshi's character and knew that she was making trouble again.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai asked in a deep voice.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me!" Jia Zhang cried, "Qin Huairu, this vixen, seduced Sha Zhu and ruined the reputation of our Jia family. You have to make Sha Zhu responsible!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu with an inquiring look.
Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Uncle, I...I like Huai Ru, and I want to marry her."
As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard was in an uproar.
People were talking about it. Some envied Qin Huairu for finding a long-term meal ticket, some laughed at Sha Zhu for being schemed by Jia Zhang, and some sympathized with Sha Zhu's infatuation.
Xu Damao hid behind the crowd, with a gloating smile on his face. He had long disliked Sha Zhu, and now that he saw him fall into Jia Zhang's trap, he was extremely happy.
"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, you have finally come to this day!" Xu Damao was secretly happy, "Now you have been completely defeated by Qin Huairu, you will suffer in the future!"
Sha Zhu turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him. He just looked at Qin Huairu with tenderness and affection in his eyes.
Qin Huairu lowered her head with a complicated expression. She was both touched and uneasy, touched by Sha Zhu's sincerity and uneasy about Jia Zhang's calculations. She knew that her union with Sha Zhu was destined to be not smooth sailing.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu and sighed. He knew that Sha Zhu was a simple-minded person who could be easily taken advantage of. He wanted to persuade Sha Zhu, but when he saw his determined eyes, he swallowed his words back.
"Shazhu, since you have made up your mind, I respect your choice." Yi Zhonghai said, "However, I hope you will consider the consequences more in the future and stop being so impulsive."
Sha Zhu nodded: "Uncle, I understand."
When Jia Zhang saw that Sha Zhu agreed to the marriage, she immediately smiled. She grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and said affectionately: "Huairu, you will be a member of our Jia family from now on, you must take good care of Sha Zhu!"
Qin Huairu forced a smile and said nothing.
In the next few days, the people in the courtyard were talking about the marriage of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu. Some people said that Sha Zhu was a lucky fool who married a beautiful wife; some people said that Qin Huairu was a scheming bitch who was calculating Sha Zhu's money; and some people said that Jia Zhang was an old witch who deliberately set a trap for Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu didn't care about these comments at all. He focused on preparing for the wedding. He repainted the house, bought new furniture and electrical appliances, and even asked someone to bring some local specialties from the countryside to entertain the guests.
Qin Huairu seemed a little absent-minded. She often sat alone in the room in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. Banggeng and Xiaodang also noticed that their mother was different. They did not dare to disturb her and could only stay with her silently.
On the wedding day, the courtyard was bustling with activity. Sha Zhu was wearing a groom's suit, with a happy smile on his face. Qin Huairu was wearing a red wedding dress, and although she was smiling, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Jia Zhang was busy greeting guests. She praised Sha Zhu as a good son-in-law and Qin Huairu as a good daughter-in-law to everyone she met, as if she was the protagonist of the wedding.
After the banquet started, the guests raised their glasses to toast Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu. Sha Zhu accepted all the toasts and drank one glass after another, and soon he was a little drunk.
Qin Huairu looked at the drunk Sha Zhu with mixed feelings. She knew that her marriage with Sha Zhu was not out of love, but out of helplessness. She didn't know whether she was right or wrong, but she had no way back.
As the night went on, the guests gradually left. Sha Zhu fell drunk on the bed, unconscious. Qin Huairu sat beside the bed, looking at Sha Zhu's sleeping face, and sighed softly.
She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw Xu Damao standing outside with a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Huai Ru, happy wedding!" Xu Damao said with a smile, "I'll have a drink with you."
Qin Huairu frowned: "Xu Damao, what's the matter?"
"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Xu Damao said with a wink, "We are neighbors after all."
Qin Huairu said with a cold face: "I'm tired and want to rest."
"No, Huairu, let's talk." Xu Damao said, and squeezed into the house.
Qin Huairu pushed him away and said angrily: "Xu Damao, get out!"
Xu Damao staggered and almost fell down. He was so angry that he pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed: "Qin Huairu, don't be shameless! Who do you think you are? Aren't you just a slut? Shazhu is so unlucky to marry you!"
Qin Huairu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and slapped Xu Damao hard.
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of slaps was particularly loud in the silent night.
Xu Damao covered his face and glared at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of resentment.
"Qin Huairu, you dare to hit me?" Xu Damao said with gritted teeth, "Just wait, I won't let you go!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
Qin Huairu stood at the door, watching Xu Damao's back as he walked away, her heart filled with anger and anxiety. She knew that she and Xu Damao had a grudge.
She closed the door, returned to the room, and looked at Sha Zhu sleeping on the bed, and her heart became more complicated. She didn't know how to go in the future, but she knew that she had to go on with strength.
The next morning, Sha Zhu woke up and found himself lying on the bed, covered with a quilt. He rubbed his eyes, sat up, and saw Qin Huairu sitting at the table, sewing clothes with needle and thread in her hand.
"Huai Ru, are you awake?" Sha Zhu asked, "How did I get back last night?"
Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at Sha Zhu, and said calmly: "I helped you back."
Sha Zhu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I... am I drunk?"
"Yeah." Qin Huairu nodded, "Drink less alcohol in the future."
Sha Zhu chuckled: "I understand."
He stood up, walked to Qin Huairu, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly, "Huairu, thank you."
Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but just leaned gently in Sha Zhu's arms.
At this moment, she felt as if she had found a little support.
However, what she didn't know was that even greater challenges were waiting for her.
