Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When Qin Huairu arrived at the steel rolling mill, she was led to the Environmental Management Section by the Personnel Department.

Nie Wenjun, the head of the Environmental Management Section, looked at Qin Huairu with disgust, then turned his head and said to the old woman beside him:

"Aunt Zhu, Qin Huairu will be given to you."

Aunt Zhu nodded slightly, turned to Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, follow me."

Aunt Zhu took Qin Huairu to the public toilet and said coldly, "Today, some farmers are coming to the factory to collect manure. You will be responsible for scooping manure into the manure truck."

In those days, chemical fertilizers were not yet popular, and feces were also a resource that nearby farmers scrambled to get.

After Aunt Zhu finished speaking, she didn't even look at her again and left without looking back.

Qin Huairu smelled the stench and was unwilling to do it, but this was her job now and she had to do it.

Qin Huairu felt sore in her back and waist after working for less than half an hour. She thought processing parts in the workshop was tiring enough, but she didn't expect that sweeping the toilet was even more tiring.

After finally getting off work at noon, Qin Huairu ran exhausted to the canteen to get food. As soon as she arrived at the canteen, her co-workers pinched their noses and ran away with disgust on their faces. Qin Huairu felt heartbroken.

Qin Huairu suppressed the sadness in her heart and started to queue up for food. The people in front of her smelled the stench on her and ran away in a swarm. This was a good thing for Qin Huairu, as she instantly became the first person in the line and got her food quickly.

She did get some food, but it was very little because the chef shook the spoon.

Qin Huairu was indignant and argued with the chef, but was instead ridiculed by everyone.

Qin Huairu was scolded so much that she covered her face and cried. She quietly went to the corner and ate her meal while crying. She looked as pitiful as she could be.

But her tearful appearance not only failed to arouse others' sympathy, but instead attracted endless abuse.

"You did such a shameful thing and you still have the nerve to cry. If it were me, I would have jumped into the river a long time ago."

"That's right. How can a shameless woman like this have the face to live in this world?"

"The leaders are too kind. They didn't even fire a woman who violates moral standards like this?"

"I won't eat anymore. I feel sick standing under the same sky with such a shameless whore."

"I'm leaving too. The air stinks wherever she is."

Qin Huairu finished her lunch in tears, turned around and walked out of the steel mill, and walked quickly towards the hospital.

She had limited time at noon, so she had to rush to the hospital as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Yi Zhonghai in order to cope with the hospital-wide meeting tonight.

Qin Huairu ran to the hospital panting and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's ward.

Yi Zhonghai saw the dusty Qin Huairu and said with concern:

"Huai Ru, why did you come to the hospital at this time? Did something happen?"

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's concerned eyes, her heart ached and she burst into tears.

Yi Zhonghai saw this and asked anxiously, "Huai Ru, what happened? Did anyone bully you?"

Qin Huairu said with tears in her eyes: "Master, I came to ask you for help. Liu Haizhong and his men want to drive my family out of the courtyard. My family only has a courtyard to live in. If they really drive us out, our whole family will have to sleep on the streets."

Seeing his beloved baby crying, Yi Zhonghai felt as if his heart was broken by a knife. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Damn Liu Haizhong, what right did he have to kick you out of the courtyard?"

When Qin Huairu heard the question, she cried even harder.

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously, "Qin Huairu, why is it so? Tell me!"

Qin Huairu cried and said: "That scumbag Guo Piezi raped me..."

"What? Guo Piezi raped you. How dare he?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were spitting fire and his face was ferocious, like an angry tiger.

He has always regarded Qin Huairu as his forbidden love, but now she has been touched by Guo Piezi. How can he not be angry?

Qin Huairu sobbed and said, "Master, you should know that Guo Piezi is a sex maniac. He has always had his eyes on me. If you hadn't protected him before, he would have reached out to me long ago."

Yi Zhonghai was furious and said, "Damn bastard, I will never let him go. Have you called the police?"

Qin Huairu said with a sad face: "It's useless. When Guo Piezi raped me, he was caught in the act by the people brought by Liu Haizhong. Guo Piezi insisted that I seduced him. I couldn't defend myself. In the end, the security department determined that this matter was adultery."

"Are all the people in the security department good-for-nothings? How can they rule a rape case as adultery?"

"No, I have to go talk to Wei Dayong and explain it clearly."

"Master, it's useless. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. Besides, I have a bad reputation and everyone is prejudiced against me."

This is where Qin Huairu's cleverness lies. She claimed that she had committed adultery with Guo Piezi and that Guo Piezi raped her. Her purpose was to prevent Yi Zhonghai from hating her. After all, Yi Zhonghai was the only one she could rely on now.

If Yi Zhonghai distanced himself from her, she really didn't know how to live in the future. After all, her current salary was barely enough to support herself, not to mention that she had three children to support.

"How did the factory punish you?"

"Guo Piezi was demoted to an ordinary employee, and I was demoted to the Environmental Protection Department to clean toilets."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Huai Ru, it's all because Master is a nobody now and has no say in front of the leaders, otherwise I would definitely seek justice for you."

"Fortunately, you were not fired. When I recover from my injury and return to the factory, I will find a way to transfer you back to the workshop."

Qin Huairu said with gratitude, "Thank you, Master! But this matter is not urgent. The key is that Liu Haizhong is instigating the neighbors to drive me out of the Siheyuan on the grounds that I have ruined the reputation of the Siheyuan."

"What did the idiot say?"

"Shazhu didn't comment, he just said he would hold a meeting of the whole institute tonight to discuss my punishment."

"Then have you gone to Sha Zhu to ask for mercy?"

"No, because I know that Shazhu hates me so much right now that it's impossible for him to help me."

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a moment, then said: "I will go back to the hospital tonight to attend the whole hospital meeting and do my best to help you..."

Qin Huairu pretended to be worried and asked, "Master, how are you injured?"

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry."

"Wait, you said that it was Liu Haizhong who brought people to catch you and Guo Piezi in the act?"

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Yes! Guo Piezi had just assaulted me when Liu Haizhong and the security guards barged in."

Yi Zhonghai said in a cold voice: "That bastard Liu Haizhong is really vicious! After using you, he wants to drive you out of the courtyard."

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Qin Huairu looked puzzled.

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Do you know how Liu Haizhong got his current position as squad leader? He got it by reporting Bi Yuntao for having affairs with both men and women."

"This bastard is greedy and wants to continue to climb up the social ladder, so he uses the same old trick again and reports Guo Piaozi for having an affair with you. Now that Guo Piaozi has been fired, he will have the opportunity to become the workshop director."
