Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu drank too much tea and got up to go to the toilet. As soon as he came out of the toilet, he met Qin Huairu coming towards him.

He Yuzhu pretended not to see it and strode away.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu said anxiously: "Zhu Zi, wait a minute, Sister Qin has something to tell you."

He Yuzhu pretended not to hear, but walked faster.

Qin Huairu stamped her feet, trotted a few steps, grabbed He Yuzhu, and said in a tender voice: "Zhuzi, Sister Qin is calling you, didn't you hear it?"

He Yuzhu pushed Qin Huairu away and said in a cold voice: "Widow Qin, are you mentally ill? My last name is He and your last name is Qin. How can you be my sister? Don't try to be related to me. I find it disgusting."

Qin Huairu immediately put on a heartbroken expression and said with resentment in her eyes: "Zhu Zi, you have changed. You would never treat me like this before!"

He Yuzhu was too lazy to listen to Qin Huairu's nonsense and just walked away.

Qin Huairu grabbed He Yuzhu again and said in a sad voice: "Zhuzi, don't leave yet, I really have something to talk to you about!"

He Yuzhu once again shook off Qin Huairu, patted the place where Qin Huairu had pulled him with disdain, and said with satisfaction and disgust:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't bother me. You, a widow, don't care about your reputation, but I do."

He Yuzhu's actions deeply hurt Qin Huairu, and she was about to cry: "Zhuzi, do you really hate me so much?"

"Yes!" He Yuzhu nodded without hesitation.

Qin Huairu was struck by lightning, tears fell like beads from a broken string, and she said sadly:

"Zhu Zi, we shouldn't be like this..."

He Yuzhu said impatiently: "Widow Qin, do you have anything else to do? Get out of here. I don't have the time to listen to your nagging."

Qin Huairu suppressed her anger and said flatteringly, "Zhu Zi, can you lend me ten yuan? Bang Geng hasn't eaten meat for half a month. He needs to supplement his nutrition as he is growing..."

He Yuzhu interrupted, "Widow Qin, don't be so miserable in front of me. I won't fall for it."

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Zhu Zi, can you stop calling me a widow? Do you think I want to be a widow?"

He Yuzhu cursed: "You are such a psychopath. It's none of my business whether you want to be a widow or not. It's not me who made you a widow."

Qin Huairu stared at He Yuzhu and said sternly: "He Yuzhu, do you still have any sympathy? Do you know how difficult it is for me as a widow?"

"I endured beatings and scoldings from my mother-in-law at home, gossips from neighbors, and teasing and taking advantage of workers in the workshop. If it weren't for Bang Geng and the others, I would have jumped into the river and committed suicide long ago."

"I'm suffering so much, and you still say such things. You are not a human being!"

"Snapped!"

He Yuzhu said nothing, raised his hand and slapped him, saying coldly: "Who the hell are you calling a non-human? Say it again if you dare, or I'll slap you to death!"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while. She said with a gloomy face: "Shazhu, you actually dared to hit me, you must compensate me fifty yuan, otherwise this matter will never be over."

"Snapped!"

He Yuzhu raised his hand and slapped him again, saying in a cold voice: "Who the hell are you calling idiot Zhu? Call me that again if you dare!"

The burning pain on her face made Qin Huairu wake up instantly. Sha Zhu was no longer the obedient licker who always obeyed her. If she dared to call him "Sha Zhu" again, he would slap her in the face again.

"He Yuzhu, you slapped me twice for no reason. If you don't compensate me a hundred dollars, I will report it to the security department immediately!"

He Yuzhu was not threatened at all, and said expressionlessly: "If you have the guts, go and report it. I can also talk to my colleagues in the security department about your blackmailing me!"

Qin Huairu's face suddenly changed, and she said in a trembling voice: "He Yuzhu, don't talk nonsense, when did I blackmail you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You want me to pay a hundred yuan. If this isn't blackmail, what is it?"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. You hit me, and it is only natural for me to ask for compensation. This is not extortion at all."

He Yuzhu said sternly: "That's a cheap insult, you deserve to be beaten!"

Qin Huairu said arrogantly: "I cursed? Who heard it? Do you have any evidence?"

He Yuzhu smiled calmly and said towards the toilet: "Brothers, stop hiding and come out quickly!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, two people walked out of the men's restroom. They were Xiao Yichen and Feng Zhuangfei.

What surprised He Yuzhu was that six people also walked out of the women's restroom, and they were the "Six Demons" of the Propaganda Department.

Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned pale when she saw this. She was about to run away, but Aunt Cui grabbed her hair and pulled her back, then slapped her in the face.

"Qin Huairu, you are simply embarrassing us women. People don't want to pay attention to you, but you still push them. Can you not live without a man?"

"Snapped!"

Another auntie also slapped her and scolded her, "Widow Qin, if you want your man to just remarry, why do you keep pestering Zhuzi? Don't you think it's not enough to harm him?"

"Widow Qin, I have never seen a woman as shameless as you. When someone doesn't want to lend you money, you scold them and even blackmail them. Do you have any sense of shame?"

"People fight for their breath, and trees live for their skin. You don't have money to buy meat for your son. Don't you know how to be self-reliant, work hard to improve your skills, upgrade your fitter level, and raise your own salary?"

"What I hate most in my life is a woman like you who is afraid of hard work, lazy and unwilling to make progress. When you encounter difficulties, you cry and wait for others to rescue you!"

"Widow Qin, why can't you learn from Liang Ladi? You are both widows, but Liang Ladi is in a more difficult situation than you. Do you think she is crying poor and pitiful like you are?"

"That's right. Liang Ladi raised four children by herself. She didn't even have a mother-in-law to take care of her children. Not only did she raise her four children to be plump and white, she also worked hard to improve her skills and became a level 5 welder. She is better than many men. When talking about her, who wouldn't give her a thumbs up?"

"Look at Liang Ladi, then look at you, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Widow Qin, don't think that others have a higher starting point than you. Liang Ladi's situation is almost exactly the same as yours."

"Before she got married, Liang Ladi was also an illiterate rural woman."

"She joined the factory after her husband died. She started from scratch and through her own efforts, she became a fifth-level fitter in just a few years. She also trained many outstanding apprentices."

"If Liang Ladi can do it, why can't you, Qin Huairu?"

"And judging from the way you scheme against men, you are smarter than Liang Ladi. The reason you live like this today is because you are lazy, have no ambition, and just muddle through..."

"If you put all your efforts into calculating men at work, you would have been a third-level fitter by now, earning more than 40 yuan a month. Why would you still be crying poor and begging for charity like you are now?"
