Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2480 Qin Huai Ru Makes Up Stories

Sha Zhu is indeed foolish, but that's only when he's facing people like Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

These people had done him a favor, and he owed them something, so he couldn't refuse their requests.

There were only three people in the courtyard who could have enabled him to do this: the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, and Qin Huairu.

Even an older woman couldn't make him so obedient.

If Qin Huairu hadn't pleaded, he wouldn't have agreed at all, even if it was just Jia Zhangshi calling back her soul.

"You're talking nonsense. You were the one who begged me. You kept giving me meaningful glances, trying to get my help."

"No, I'm just implying that you should refuse."

As long as it's not put on paper, Qin Huairu will not admit it.

This is what she does best.

Qin Huairu continued, "At that time, the eldest uncle was staring at my sister, and the second and third uncles were also staring at her."

Do you think I would dare to disobey them?

My sister was forced into this situation.

Sha Zhu, I'm a victim of the courtyard house system, just like you.

They'll stop at nothing to secure their retirement. If you want to hate someone, hate Yi Zhonghai, hate Liu Haizhong, hate Yan Bugui.

You can't hate your sister.

This is how the blame was shifted, making Yi Zhonghai and the other two take the fall for her.

Actually, it wasn't exactly taking the blame for her; those three people did indeed scheme against Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was tricked so badly, and Yi Zhonghai and the other two were the culprits.

Of course, Qin Huairu was the same, but she was hidden behind them, and you really couldn't tell until the very end.

There was no truth to the story of Bang Geng kicking Sha Zhu out of the house. No matter what others said, Sha Zhu wouldn't believe it; Qin Huairu was a vicious woman.

Unlike before, Sha Zhu was not easily fooled. He hated Yi Zhonghai and the other two, and he also hated the Jia family.

These are the people who dragged him into this mess.

"Don't try to portray yourself as so noble. How many times have you schemed against me?"

"Was it Yi Zhonghai who forced you to do what happened to Teacher Ran?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu wasn't falling for it, Qin Huai had no choice but to back down again.

"I admit that what happened to Teacher Ran was intentional. But I already told you that."

My sister did it because she wanted to marry you.

You've helped me for so many years, I have no way to repay you but to offer myself to you.

"What a fine offer of marriage!" Sha Zhu laughed heartily.

Because if Qin Huai wanted to repay him with his body, he would have no choice but to fawn over Jia Zhangshi.

That's fine then. Given his circumstances at the time, if he didn't marry Qin Huairu, he basically wouldn't be able to find a wife anyway.

He dealt with Jia Zhangshi, thinking he could finally win the heart of the beauty.

As a result, she waited for eight years because of a single sentence from Bang Geng.

For eight years, Qin Huairu was afraid that Bang Geng would get angry, so she wouldn't let him touch her at all, and she still took his salary with a straight face.

Finally, when Banggeng had nowhere to live, he offered up the house of the deaf old lady.

I thought I'd finally win the heart of my beloved this time.

But because Bang Geng had to work, Qin Huairu felt that he was delaying Bang Geng's ability to earn money, and directly wanted to break up with him.

At that time, he should have realized that he held no place in Qin Huairu's heart.

But when Qin Huairu was shouting that she wanted to break up with him, Xiao Dang, Xiao Huaihua, and Yi Zhonghai came over to persuade him to be patient.

Just as He Yuzhu said, he became an obedient dog.

He did whatever they told him to do.

Even though Qin Huairu disliked him, he still did everything he could to please her.

In order to curry favor with Qin Huairu, he had never asked a high-ranking leader for anything in his life, but that time he did.

He married Qin Huairu using a letter of introduction for a job in a ministry.

Back then, with that letter of introduction, he could have married not only Qin Huairu, but even a young woman in her twenties.

He acted like a dog, delivering the letter of introduction to Bang Geng in exchange for Bang Geng's nod.

Qin Huairu had also thought of these things, and her face showed a slight embarrassment.

"Silly Zhu, I didn't really want to take up so much of your time."

Bang Geng initially disagreed with our marriage, and I thought I could persuade him.

After a few years, when I realized I couldn't persuade you anymore, I wanted to give up. I want to advise you to stop thinking about me and go marry someone else.

Just as I was about to confront you, an old man appeared and forced me to marry you.

On one hand, Bang Geng disagrees, and on the other hand, an old man is forcing me. It's really tough for me.

After hesitating for a long time, the woman finally decided to refuse the old man.

Who knew…

Here, Qin Huairu had set up an ambush.

Logically, Sha Zhu would proactively ask who knows what.

At that time, she didn't need to be so direct; a simple hint would be enough for Sha Zhu to fill in the blanks in his mind.

But after waiting for a while, Sha Zhu didn't make a sound, so Qin Huairu had no choice but to speak up.

"Who knew that the old man would be so despicable, threatening my sister with a stick."

He took his second uncle and third uncle with him and found his sister.

They told my sister that if she didn't do as they said, they would find a way to send Banggeng to Xishuangbanna to work as an educated youth.

Bang Geng is your Dongxu brother's only son, and I can't let your Dongxu brother die with regrets.

"I had no choice but to agree to their demands and continue to hold you back."

"That's well said." Sha Zhu showed no anger, only admiration.

"It's because of the 'bang genie' again that you colluded with them to frame me."

You're such a good person.

Qin Huairu immediately realized that too much mud had been thrown at Bang Geng.

He wanted to win back Shaju, but not at the cost of Bangkyung.

If Sha-zhu truly hates Bang-geum, the plan to win Sha-zhu over will not succeed.

Qin Huairu quickly came up with a new reason.

"It's not because of the joke, it's mainly because of you."

"It was my fault again this time." Sha Zhu finally understood why he couldn't escape Qin Huairu's grasp in the first place.

These reasons came one after another, and if you weren't careful, you would fall into Qin Huairu's trap.

Qin Huairu nodded very seriously: "It's because of you."

Don't be unconvinced. Listen to what I have to say, and you'll understand.

"Tell me, I'm listening." Sha Zhu really wanted to know how Qin Huairu cleaned the stick.

Qin Huairu first gave Sha Zhu a flirty wink before continuing.

"Back then, you only listened to the deaf old lady and wouldn't listen to anyone else."

The deaf old lady was dying, and you wanted to give her the best things in the world.

Do you remember the time when I didn't want to cook meat for her?

My sister did that partly because she was worried that eating too much meat at her age wouldn't be good for her, but more importantly, she was testing your attitude towards her.

You almost fell out with me because of her, and I knew then that there were some things I couldn't tell you.

Let me tell you something, and you'll tell the deaf old lady what old man's scheme is.

The deaf old lady and the old man were inseparable. If the deaf old lady found out, the old man would find out too.

How could I possibly tell you this?

Even if I risked my life to tell you, what good would it do?

You only listen to the deaf old lady, not your sister.

When the time comes, the old man will definitely try to take advantage of the woman to ensure his retirement.

The best outcome for my sister would be to be kicked out of the courtyard house.

Sister Ke is leaving, what about you?

My sister lives in the courtyard house, so she can take care of you and show you concern.

If I leave the courtyard house, no one will care about you anymore.

You know better than anyone how domineering that old man is.

His sister lives in a courtyard house, and he's hoping she'll win you over so you can marry her.

If my sister weren't in the courtyard house, he would never let you get married.

You'll be a bachelor your whole life.

I admit I have my own selfish motives, but it's all for your own good. (End of Chapter)
