Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 189 Alas, what a sin!

Qin Huairu didn't care about anything else at this moment. She struggled to get up from the ground and quickly hid behind He Yuzhu.

She thought she was doomed today, but unexpectedly He Yuzhu would come forward to rescue her.

"Do you know each other~?"

Seeing this, the thugs all frowned and looked at He Yuzhu.

"Hey, this has nothing to do with you. Stay out of our way! Be careful or we'll teach you a lesson too!" one of the leading men shouted, with a threatening look in his eyes.

"I'm her neighbor. Did I bully her just now?" He Yuzhu asked in a calm tone with his arms crossed.

His appearance caused these people to become more alert.

Soon, the two thugs nodded to each other and gradually approached He Yuzhu with sarcastic smiles.

"Since you insist on intervening, then be prepared to suffer physical pain!"

The leading man sneered and suddenly attacked He Yuzhu's chest.

“You are overestimating yourself.

"A hint of coldness flashed across He Yuzhu's eyes.

However, just as the opponent was attacking him, He Yuzhu seemed to counterattack with a punch with ease, and the force was so strong that the opponent's hand was knocked back.

"Ugh!" The other person let out a scream, staggered a few steps before barely standing firm, his face full of shock and shame.

"What's your style?"

When the other people saw this scene, their faces turned grim.

These people are used to being domineering and often bully pedestrians by relying on their numerical advantage.

I didn't expect that I would run into trouble at the hands of He Yuzhu this time.

"I don't want to **, go away.

"He Yuzhu said lightly with his hands behind his back.

Although he did not have a good impression of Qin Huairu, it was after all a matter between neighbors; what's more, it was his nature to always stand up for justice when he saw injustice.

Therefore, we must ensure that Qin Huairu is safe and sound at all costs.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty.

“Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you can fight?” The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing cruelty.

"Today I have to teach you how to be a good person! Listen carefully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people also joined the attack. Holding tools such as sticks in their hands, they attacked He Yuzhu without reservation.

Seeing this scene, Qin Huairu looked more and more worried.

Although He Yuzhu is tall, the situation seems unfavorable when facing people who are several times larger than him and well-armed.

"Ah!" With a cry of horror, Qin Huairu closed her eyes and waited for the disaster to happen.

However, the expected pain did not come.

Qin Huairu opened her eyes when she heard a series of heavy moaning sounds.

The scene before her stunned her: He Yuzhu, who was supposed to have been injured and fallen to the ground, was still standing firm; on the contrary, the several strong men just now were now curled up on the ground wailing, looking extremely miserable.

"Have you practiced it?" The leader's face was as pale as paper. He asked while barely supporting half of his body.

It was obvious that he couldn't believe the scene before him.

“Get out of here.

'

He Yuzhu didn't answer, but just waved his hand.

"Don't be so complacent, I won't let you go easily!" The man gritted his teeth and looked at He Yuzhu angrily.

After saying this, he slowly stood up with the support of the wall and led the others away in a panic.

After watching these people go away, He Yuzhu turned around and said to Qin Huairu: "Are you okay?"

“Ah…thank you.

" Qin Huairu lowered her eyes, blushed slightly and nodded, her heart full of gratitude.

Facing the possibility that she might say more, He Yuzhu gently shook his hand and said:

"Don't thank me too much, it's just a small favor.

"But he immediately added: "Remember, if I weren't here, you might have been finished today.

"

After saying that, He Yuzhu dusted off his clothes and walked straight towards the courtyard.

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed him.

"Hey, He Yuzhu, you helped me, why not treat me to a meal?" Qin Huairu followed He Yuzhu closely and said flatteringly.

"No need."

He Yuzhu did not stop and coldly rejected Qin Huairu's kindness.

The two of them soon walked into the courtyard together.

"Why did you come back together?"

The third uncle was taking care of the flowers and plants at the door. When he saw them come in, he frowned and asked.

"I met her in the alley and I saved her life."

He Yuzhu shrugged, laughed, and then walked straight to the central courtyard.

"What? You saved Qin Huairu?"

The third uncle was shocked. He put down the shovel in his hand and turned his eyes to Qin Huairu with a questioning look.

"Uncle, it's okay. Don't believe his nonsense."

Qin Huairu didn't want others to know what she was doing outside. In this era, a widow's reputation was more important than anything else.

Although she no longer had a good reputation in this courtyard, she still had to save face outside.

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she hurried towards the central courtyard.

The third uncle stood there in a daze. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and then he followed them into the middle courtyard.

It happened that Yi Zhonghai was sitting in front of his house with a solemn expression.

When he saw three people entering the yard one after another, his expression changed slightly.

"Old Yan, do you have something to ask me?"

The third uncle doesn’t usually come to the Intermediate Court. He suddenly appeared this time, so something must have happened.

"I'm not looking for you. I heard from He Yuzhu that he saved Qin Huairu, so I came to see what's going on."

"If I really did a good thing, I should report it to the street office and get a praise." The third uncle found a good excuse for himself.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu's name, he was stunned for a moment.

He thought about how Qin Huairu looked a little nervous when she came in just now.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai immediately shouted loudly: "Huai Ru, come out for a moment."

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat when she heard Yi Zhonghai's shout, but she still walked out of the room.

As soon as he came out, Yi Zhonghai asked, "It is said that He Yuzhu saved you? What happened outside?"

Before Qin Huairu could react, Yi Zhonghai stood up and walked in front of her, looking down at her as if he was trying to find something from her face.

"I...I...I didn't do anything?"

Facing Yi Zhonghai's gaze, Qin Huairu felt extremely flustered and her speech was a little stammering.

"You didn't do anything? But there was news that you were attacked outside?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly and continued to ask.

"Who said I was attacked? I didn't..."

Qin Huairu's face turned red and her speech became incoherent.

She wanted to explain it clearly, but the scene just now emerged in her mind again - the scene of the gangster attacking her made her feel suffocated.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this look, his eyes flickered.

"Huai Ru, are you really being bullied?"

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be concerned and reached out to grab Qin Huairu's arm.

"No...no."

Qin Huairu was so scared that she immediately withdrew her arm, took two steps back, and shook her head in horror.

"Really not?"

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward, and his voice became even deeper.

"Then tell me, why did you run away? And why are you blushing like this?"

Yi Zhonghai took another step closer, his tone becoming increasingly gloomy.

"me……"

Qin Huairu was extremely nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Yi Zhonghai's eyes. She felt guilty and didn't know how to answer.

"Huai Ru, we have known each other for so many years."

"It's been almost two years. Who in this alley doesn't know about our relationship..." Yi Zhonghai ignored the third uncle who was still standing aside and asked Qin Huairu.

He was not worried about how Qin Huairu would be criticized, but he was afraid that Qin Huairu was unreliable and might cause trouble for him.

"Yi Zhonghai, have you had enough?" Qin Huairu suddenly raised her head and asked angrily.

"What's wrong? Someone hit you in the sore spot, so you got angry?" Yi Zhonghai said sarcastically, "Qin Huairu, you have to understand your position."

"You are just a widow. I can accept you because of our old friendship." Yi Zhonghai's usual gentle attitude disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of dominance.

"I..." Qin Huairu wanted to open her mouth to refute, but found that she couldn't organize any effective words.

After all, her social status destined her to always be at a disadvantage.

What's more, as the saying goes, there is always trouble around a widow.

Qin Huairu's beauty easily leads to speculation and rumors.

"Don't forget, it was you who insisted on following me!" Yi Zhonghai's eyes were full of coldness.

Qin Huairu's body trembled slightly, and tears flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Yi Zhonghai, you..."

"Okay!" Facing Qin Huairu's almost tearful expression, Yi Zhonghai's inner sternness eased a little, "Let's put this matter aside for now and prepare the meal first."

After calming down, Yi Zhonghai turned around and walked into the house, leaving Qin Huairu with an unwilling look on her face.

At this time, the third uncle muttered to the side: "Oh, what a sin!", and followed him into the house without saying anything more.

"Hmph!" After the few people left, He Yuzhu slowly closed the door of his house.

At this time, Qin Huairu stood alone in the kitchen. The hot water bubbling in the pot in front of her reminded her of the grievances and dissatisfaction that was rising in her heart.

"Qin Huairu, don't cry! Crying shows that you are weak inside. Maybe you have done something wrong to me outside?" At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's stern words rang in her ears.

The frightened Qin Huairu quickly held back the tears that were about to fall, "Old Yi, how dare you scold me?" Her face was full of anger, and it seemed that she was about to pounce on Yi Zhonghai and grab him in the next second.

Seeing this scene, although Yi Zhongwai was smiling with pride in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

"What's wrong with me scolding you? You're a good-for-nothing and you haven't given me a child yet." After hearing this, Qin Huairu immediately looked very depressed.

"Old Yi, we need to have a good discussion about this issue."

Qin Huairu is very aware of her physical condition, and the issue of fertility does require the joint responsibility of both parties.

So after a big fight, the two of them didn't stop until they were interrupted by He Yuzhu who broke in.

"Move away from me." He Yuzhu ordered coldly to Yi Zhonghai who was standing in front of the stove.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, but finally stood up and stepped aside.

Noticing this, Qin Huairu also followed his movements and left.

The next morning, He Yuzhu accompanied Xu Huizhen out of the courtyard.
