Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

After Sha Zhu finished saying this with difficulty, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and his body trembled slightly. His originally straight back was now bent, and he looked extremely decadent and depressed.

Ye Fan looked at Sha Zhu in front of him with great interest, with a faint smile on his face: "Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu, don't you remember what you said at Yan Bugui's house that day? Do you need me to recall it for you?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Sha Zhu's mind immediately flashed back to every word and sentence he had said when he confronted Ye Fan at Yan Bugui's house that day. Instantly, a strong sense of shame surged into his heart, and he felt that his cheeks were burning as if they were burned by a raging fire.

However, when he thought of his beloved woman Niu Aihua, Sha Zhu clenched his teeth and forced down the feeling of shame.

Ye Fan had no sympathy for Sha Zhu's inner torment at this moment. He was too lazy to even think about how Sha Zhu felt at the moment. Instead, he said directly: "Sha Zhu, to tell you the truth, it was me who mentioned the matter about you at the meeting. Now, you actually want me to help you return to work in the steel mill. Why do you think I will help you?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's face became even uglier, but he still suppressed his anger and unwillingness. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I hope Chief Ye will be magnanimous and help me. It was indeed my fault before. I have deeply realized my mistake!"

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He really couldn't understand what on earth could have made Sha Zhu, who always had a hot temper, endure to such an extent.

Is it really as simple as just being able to return to work in the steel mill?

Or is there some other hidden secret? With full of doubts, Ye Fan decided to continue observing and see what Sha Zhu would do next.

Just as Ye Fan was thinking to himself, he saw Yan Bugui slowly walking out of the house. He squinted at Sha Zhu with his triangular eyes, his face full of disdain, and a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth. He said, "I really didn't expect it, Sha Zhu! You are usually so tough, but you are willing to bow down to Ye Fan just to get a wife. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... I think I have to look at you with a new eye, I really look down on you!"

Yan Bugui had always been resentful of Ye Fan's coming to his house to cause trouble and beating him up a few days ago. The conflict was not small at that time, and he was beaten so hard that he was hospitalized. Once he was admitted to the hospital, the medical expenses were not a small amount, which really made him feel distressed for a long time.

At this moment, hearing Yan Bugui's sarcastic words, Sha Zhu's face, which was originally red due to anger, instantly turned ashen, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes widened, and he stared at Yan Bugui fiercely, roaring: "What are you talking about? Say it again if you dare!"

Yan Bugui was not afraid of Sha Zhu's anger at all. He sneered and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, what's the matter? Are you angry because I said something about your heart? Do you think I don't know? The story about Niu Aihua has long been known to everyone in the whole yard! She was willing to get a marriage certificate with you only if you promised to help her find a job in the steel mill. Who doesn't know this?"

Ye Fan, who was standing aside, suddenly understood after hearing what Yan Bugui said. So that's what happened. No wonder Sha Zhu came to beg him so humbly today. Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and at the same time secretly sighed that the human relationships in this courtyard were really complicated.

It was probably Yi Zhonghai's idea that Sha Zhu came to him for help.

Sha Zhu stared at Yan Bugui with his eyes wide open, the veins on his forehead throbbing violently with anger. He opened his voice and yelled at Yan Bugui: "Old Yan, old Yan, think about it carefully, does your child never plan to get married and start a family in this life? If you dare to make trouble here again, don't blame me for going to your house and turning it upside down in the future!"

Ye Fan, who was standing aside, watched the farce in front of him with great interest. Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui were fighting back and forth, neither of them giving in, just like two vicious dogs fighting each other. Ye Fan, who was happy to watch the fun, stood there and watched without saying a word, letting the dispute escalate.

However, unlike Ye Fan, Han Yuying found this quarrel very boring. And because she was pregnant, she was more likely to feel sleepy and weak than usual. At this moment, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and she yawned continuously. Helplessly, she moved to Ye Fan's side and said softly in a low voice: "Brother Ye Fan, you take your time to watch here. I really don't think it's interesting, so I'll go back and rest first."

Ye Fan was such a smart man that he saw through Han Yuying's thoughts at a glance. She must have consumed a lot of energy walking all the way, and must be tired and sleepy now. So he nodded quickly and said to Han Yuying with concern: "Okay, then let Jingru go back with you, so that she can take care of you at home."

Han Yuying nodded obediently to show her agreement. Then she reached out and pulled Qin Jingru, who was still immersed in the lively drama, and the two walked towards the backyard together.

Qin Huairu on the other side saw this and couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart. No matter what, Sha Zhu had helped her a lot in the past, and now seeing him arguing with others like this, she still felt a little bit uncomfortable.

After Han Yuying left, she tiptoed to Ye Fan's side, lowered her voice, and spoke carefully: "Chief Ye, Sha Zhu has indeed helped me a lot before. Can you please show some mercy and let him go this time? After all, getting married is the top priority in life, and that workstation is very important to him. Otherwise... let's return it to Sha Zhu?"

When Ye Fan heard this, he turned his head and cast his gaze towards Qin Huairu, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Are you pitying him?"

Qin Huairu hurriedly shook her head and explained, "No, no, no, Chief Ye, you misunderstood. I just think that people should be grateful and repay kindness. Now that Sha Zhu is in trouble, I also want to do my best to repay him for his help in the past."

Ye Fan stared at Qin Huairu, still with a faint smile on his face, and continued to ask: "If I help Sha Zhu this time, doesn't it mean that you owe me a huge favor? I wonder how you plan to repay me?"

Qin Huairu glanced at Ye Fan coquettishly, her face flushed, her eyes seductive, and she responded softly, "Hey, Chief Ye, you've played with me all over my body, what else do you want from me?"

After hearing these words, Ye Fan was stunned and secretly amazed in his heart. He did not expect that Qin Huairu was so bold and uninhibited that she would say such explicit words in front of him!
