Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Xu Damao was so angry when he heard his colleagues praising He Yuzhu that he almost exploded and roared hysterically:

"You are all crazy. How can Shazhu be as good as you say?"

"He helped the Jia family because he was greedy for Qin Huairu's beauty; he served the deaf old lady because he coveted the old lady's money and house."

"Xu Damao, don't think that Director He is as sinister and mercenary as you are. You have a dirty heart and everything you see is dirty."

"Director He earns over a hundred dollars a month, so he can afford any house he wants. How could he be interested in the shabby little house of the deaf old lady?"

"As for being greedy for Qin Huairu's beauty, that's even more ridiculous. Qin Huairu is not a fairy, her looks are just average, and she has given birth to three children. She can't be said to be old and ugly, but at least she is a fallen woman."

"Director He is young and rich, and he can find any young lady he wants. Why would he fall in love with a slut?"

"Xu Damao, you can't slander Director He everywhere just because he beat you."

"Xu Damao, jealousy can make a person look bad. Just being jealous of others will not help. You should learn skills down to earth and work hard to improve yourself. Only in this way can you stand out."

"Xu Damao, as someone who has been through this, I must advise you not to be blinded by hatred. Otherwise, you will live in pain forever. Only by letting go of hatred can you be free."

"Yes, Damao, I heard that you and Director He live in the same compound and have been friends since childhood. Is there any grudge that cannot be resolved?"

Listening to everyone's words, Xu Damao clenched his fists, his eyes were red, his face turned pale and red, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Why are you all supporting Sha Zhu and not believing me? I am not jealous of Sha Zhu, and I have never framed him."

"Let's not talk about anything else. It's absolutely true that Sha Zhu is obsessed with Widow Qin. It's a family tradition for the He family to like widows. His grandfather liked widows, and his father eloped with a widow. What's so strange about He Yuzhu being obsessed with a widow?"

"Everyone in the hospital knows about this. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask it yourself."

"Come on! I've never heard of a liking for widows being hereditary."

"Besides, everyone knows that Director He's bad reputation is a rumor deliberately spread by Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai in order to achieve their own evil purposes."

"Da Mao, stop throwing dirty water on Director He. We won't believe you!"

Xu Damao was so angry that he cursed "idiot" and left the office without looking back.

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Workshop 3, break time.

Qin Huairu said with a worried look on her face: "Uncle, I feel like someone is pointing fingers at us behind our backs again."

Qin Huairu's life during this period can be said to be a year of misery. First, Sha Zhu cut off her family's lunch boxes, then her mother-in-law went to prison, and then her son was beaten and sent to the hospital. She had to go to work and take care of Bang Geng at the same time. It can be said that she was overwhelmed and miserable.

The hemp rope is cut at the delicate point, and bad luck finds the poor.

Not only is Qin Huairu's family a mess, but her work is also not going well. A few days ago, Guo Piezi and Liu Haizhong strictly controlled her pass rate and asked her to bring it up to the average level within three days, otherwise she would be sent to sweep toilets. She tried her best and finally got away with it.

As for the price paid, we will talk about it in detail in the following chapters.

Seeing that her mother-in-law would be released from prison tomorrow, she could feel a little more relaxed. But today, some co-workers were talking behind her back, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Qin Huairu was almost like a frightened bird. After all, all she had received during this period of time was bad news. Now, at the slightest sign of trouble, she felt scared.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "I felt it too, but I don't know why."

At this time, a group of workers gathered around.

"Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, you two are getting worse and worse. You even took away the old lady's food rations. You are really crazy and bring shame to our steel mill."

"Yi Zhonghai, don't you always talk about respecting the elderly and loving the young? Why are you hitting even the old lady now? This is enough to prove that you are a sinister villain who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

"He is not a human being at all for beating up an old lady."

"Yi Zhonghai, I heard that you were beaten up by people from your hospital again yesterday. Tell us how you felt at that time!"

"Old Yi, you were beaten up by a group of people just two days ago, and you were beaten up again yesterday, but you were fine. Please tell us about your experience of being beaten up by a group of people!"

Listening to everyone's mocking words, Yi Zhonghai's big face instantly turned the color of liver, and he said angrily:

"You are talking nonsense. I, Yi Zhonghai, am upright and honest. I have never robbed the old lady of her food, let alone beaten her."

"Yi Zhonghai, stop quibbling. Xu Damao spread the news about what happened in your compound yesterday. Now everyone in the factory knows what you two did."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his whole body was shaking and fire was almost spitting out of his eyes. If Xu Damao was standing in front of him at this moment, he would definitely bite the other's neck.

"Don't listen to the nonsense that Xu Damao said. Things are not at all as Xu Damao said."

"I just saw He Yuzhu brought back two lunch boxes, and I was afraid that the deaf old lady wouldn't be able to finish them, so I suggested giving one to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu's son was seriously injured and hospitalized, and he needed to supplement his nutrition."

"As for beating the elderly, that is nonsense. It was the deaf old lady who hit me first. I just accidentally knocked her down in a panic."

Everyone was not a fool. They immediately found loopholes in Yi Zhonghai's words and began to refute them.

"Yi Zhonghai, do you think everyone is a fool? Since you didn't steal the old lady's food, why did he hit you?"

"Besides, you don't even know what's in their two lunch boxes, so how can you conclude that they can't finish it?"

"Even if they can't finish the food, can't they save it for dinner? Why should you let them give one lunch box to Qin Huairu?"

"Don't you know why Qin Huairu's son was admitted to the hospital?"

"Her son is a highway robber. You actually want an old lady to cut back on her spending to help a robber. How could you come up with that?"

"The old lady has no children and is not related to the Jia family. Moreover, the old lady has no ability to make a living. She relies on Shazhu for her food and drink..."

"She herself is having a hard time, and you're asking her to help the Jia family. Don't you think that's despicable and shameless, and insane?"

"Since you feel sorry for Qin Huairu's son, why don't you buy some supplements for Banggeng yourself? Why do you have to be generous and make things difficult for an old lady who has no ability to make a living to help Banggeng?"

"You, Yi Zhonghai, are quite smart. You are generous with other people's money and property to gain a good reputation for yourself..."
