Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Chapter 36 Qin Huairu spends the night at Shazhu's house

"Do you know that you have been doting on her too much, and instead made her lose her ability to be independent?" Chen Fei's voice was low and firm, and every word was like a needle piercing into Sha Zhu's heart.

Looking up, Sha Zhu looked at Chen Fei with eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Spoil?" He repeated these two words, seeming to savor their meaning.

"Yes, doting." Fade Chen nodded and continued, "You have been paying for her and solving all her problems, making her accustomed to relying on you. But is this kind of dependence really what she wants? Do you really understand her heart?"

Chen Fei's words left him speechless, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

I never thought that my efforts would become shackles that bound her.

He stood up suddenly and slammed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table. The crisp sound of the glass breaking was particularly harsh in the silent night.

"Why? Why do you treat me like this!" Sha Zhu's voice was hoarse, filled with endless anger and sadness.

He staggered to the window, and his back cast a lonely and desolate outline in the moonlight.

Sha Zhu was so out of control that it seemed as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment; Chen Fei tried to step forward to comfort him, but was interrupted by Sha Zhu waving his hand.

"Don't call me!" Sha Zhu yelled, his voice full of despair and helplessness, "I thought that if I treated you sincerely, you would understand. But I didn't expect that in the end, it was just a joke of my wishful thinking!"

He turned around suddenly, tears flashing in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

He walked towards the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of liquor, and drank it.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu rushed forward to grab it, but was pushed away by Sha Zhu.

She fell to the ground, looking at Sha Zhu's crazy and desperate back, her heart aching.

"Silly Zhu, why are you doing this?" She sighed softly, her eyes full of worry.

Chen Fei stood aside with a frown on his face.

Sha Zhu's mood at this moment cannot be comforted by words.

The strong liquor went down Sha Zhu's throat and chest like a flame.

He seemed to want to pour all his pain and despair into the wine and drink it all in one gulp.

However, when wine enters the heart, the sorrow becomes even greater.

It was as if there was a huge black hole in his heart that no amount of wine could fill.

I fell to the ground, holding my head in my hands, and tears finally flowed out uncontrollably.

She cried heart-wrenchingly, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances and resentment.

The roar and tears were particularly harsh in the silent night.

Seeing Sha Zhu lose his composure for the first time, Qin Huairu and Chen Fei looked at each other in surprise.

Qin Huairu sighed softly, squatted down, and tried to calm Sha Zhu down.

Gently stroking Sha Zhu's hair, a gentle voice echoed in the night: "Sha Zhu, you are drunk, take a rest first."

However, Sha Zhu was like a wild animal out of control. He pushed Qin Huairu away and roared, "I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! Why do you treat me like this? Why!"

Qin Huairu was pushed and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

She bit her lip, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward again, trying to help Shazhu up.

Seeing this, Fade Chen's heart moved and he thought to himself, "Perhaps, this is an opportunity."

With a slight smile, he took a step forward and said to Qin Huairu, "It may be difficult for one person to handle it. I will help you."

As he said that, he carried Shazhu on his shoulders and walked towards the bedroom.

Qin Huairu followed closely behind, feeling uneasy.

After placing Sha Zhu on the bed, Fade Chen turned to Qin Huairu and said, "I need you to stay and look after Brother Sha Zhu tonight."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then said: "This... this is not appropriate."

"You and Shazhu have a deep brotherly bond, and he needs someone to take care of him right now. Besides, I'll feel more at ease if you stay."

Qin Huairu was a little hesitant when she heard this, but when she looked at Sha Zhu who was drunk and unconscious on the bed, she nodded in the end.

Seeing this, Fade Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of pride.

He turned and walked to the door, but suddenly stopped and turned to Qin Huairu and said, "I have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

"Tonight, I hope you can stay and don't leave."

Qin Huairu's face flushed when she heard this, and she said in a panic, "You...what do you mean?"

Chen Fei, however, looked calm and said, "Misunderstood. I just hope you can stay and look after Brother Sha Zhu, nothing else. Also, I hope you can lock the door to prevent Brother Sha Zhu from waking up in the middle of the night and running around."

The moonlight quietly falls on the silent courtyard, adding a bit of silence to the depth of the night.

Chen Fei gently pushed open the door, his face showing a bit of fatigue, but still calm.

Although the matter has been temporarily settled, the real storm may have just begun.

He glanced at the tightly closed door and prayed silently in his heart that Sha Zhu could survive this disaster safely.

After returning to his room, Chen Fei lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The scenes of last night kept replaying in his mind. Qin Huairu's panicked but determined eyes, Sha Zhu's desperate and painful roar, were all engraved in his heart like a brand.

"Is all this right or wrong?" Fade Chen muttered to himself.

As the night deepens, the moonlight gradually fades, replaced by the dawning light.

Qin Huairu sat beside the bed, looking at Sha Zhu who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and gently stroked Sha Zhu's slightly haggard face.

"Why are you so persistent?" Qin Huairu murmured in a low voice, her voice full of helplessness and heartache.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, accompanied by Jia Zhang's sharp voice: "Qin Huairu! You shameless bitch! Come out here!"

Qin Huairu was startled and quickly got up and walked to the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Jia Zhang standing outside with an angry look on her face, her hands on her hips, looking very aggressive.

"Qin Huairu! You are so brave! How dare you come to Sha Zhu's house! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Jia Zhang shouted loudly.

Qin Huairu's face darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "Don't slander me! I'm just here to look after Brother Shazhu. When did I ever have any improper thoughts?"

"Bah! Do you think I'm blind? I've seen everything that happened between you and Sha Zhu!" Jia Zhang said with her eyes wide open and spit flying.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she was shaking all over. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Sha Zhu's hoarse and weak voice coming from the room: "Have you had enough of the fuss? Sister Qin came to visit me, why are you so aggressive?"

Just as Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were arguing, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance, accompanied by a deep shout: "Jia Zhang, what are you doing here?"

Following the sound, I saw the first and third uncles coming side by side, both of them had serious looks on their faces.

The old man walked up to the crowd, his eyes wandering between Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, and said in a deep voice: "We are all neighbors, why do we have to argue over such trivial matters?"

Seeing this, Jia Zhang was even more furious. She pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and said, "Master, you have to make the decision for me! This Qin Huairu, she...she actually took advantage of Sha Zhu's drunkenness and ran to his house to seduce him! Although my Jia family has fallen, we can't let others bully us like this!"

Qin Huairu was so angry when she heard this that her face turned pale. She was about to retort, but the old man raised his hand to stop her.

"The matter has not been clarified yet, so don't get excited." The uncle's tone was a bit majestic, shocking everyone present.

At this moment, Xu Damao squeezed out of the crowd with a playful smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this Qin Huairu? What, do you also want to learn from that vixen and take advantage of Shazhu's drunkenness to sneak in?"
