Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2557 Qin Huairu's Lament

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, who were inside the house, also heard Liu Lan's voice.

When they came out, they saw Liu Lan being pulled away by Qin Huairu.

"Why is Liu Lan here?" Sha Zhu asked in confusion.

Ma Hua is Sha Zhu's most loyal disciple and the best person in the world to him.

He never schemed against Sha Zhu.

When asked by Sha Zhu, MCA told the truth.

"Liu Lan said she was coming to visit you. But when she arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu pulled her away."

Xu Damao said, "No need to ask. Qin Huairu will definitely go to Liu Lan and cry her heart out, and then beg Liu Lan to come and persuade you to change your mind."

Sha Zhu spat, "She's dreaming. Anyone who dares to advise me, I'll turn on them."

What have you been up to all this time? Why haven't you come over?

Ma Hua hesitated, "Something came up at home. I..."

Looking at Ma Hua's tired face, Sha Zhu sensed something was wrong.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Xu Damao also noticed that something was wrong with Ma Hua's face.

"What exactly happened to you? Tell us, and we'll help you figure out a solution."

MCA didn't dare lie to Silly Chu, so they told the truth.

It's nothing really, it's just that his grandson isn't feeling well, and the family has been busy taking the child to see a doctor.

Sha Zhu felt a pang of guilt upon hearing Ma Hua's words.

This apprentice remained loyal to him throughout his life.

When he got into a fight, Ma Hua was the first to rush forward. When he was demoted, Ma Hua also followed him down to the workshop.

Later, when he had a falling out with Lou Xiao'e and couldn't earn money to support the beasts in the courtyard, Ma Hua took out her family savings and lent them to him to help him get by.

If it weren't for the MCA lending him money, he really wouldn't know how he would have survived those years.

Aside from teaching MCA cooking skills, he seems to have never helped MCA in any way.

"I understand, I'll think of a way."

"Master, no need."

Sha Zhu is just an ordinary old man now; how could he possibly come up with any solutions?

If the big boss hadn't died, Sha Zhu could still find someone.

MCA didn't want to put Shah Chu in a difficult position.

Sha Zhu wouldn't listen to that, so he looked to Han Yue and said, "Can you think of a way?"

"Help MCA use their connections to get him into a major hospital."

He wasn't looking for Han Yue, but rather for the relevant departments behind Han Yue.

Han Yue hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say no.

There are far too many beasts in Sha Zhu's story. Only MCA is a truly sincere person.

Such a person is also willing to help.

“I can ask my friends. But I think you should contact He Yuzhu.”

If he's willing, this matter is even simpler. And as for the treatment costs, only he can afford them.

There were some things that couldn't be said in front of the MCA, so Han Yue had to use medical expenses as an excuse.

Sha Zhu thought about it and realized he was right; seeing a doctor did cost money. He could ask Han Yue to help him find connections, but he couldn't ask Han Yue to pay for it out of pocket.

However, Sha Zhu didn't want to go to He Yuzhu. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that he had a better way.

"I'm going to find Qin Huairu in a bit. Isn't his foreign son-in-law quite capable?"

Let him handle it.

Xu Damao knew Sha Zhu too well and immediately guessed what Sha Zhu was thinking.

"And the medical expenses also came from Qin Huai. He's like half a son to his apprentice."

If Ma Hua is your disciple, then he's practically your son.

If you ask Qin Huairu for money, it's perfectly reasonable for you to use it to support the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association).

Sha Zhu slapped his thigh: "That's a good idea, let's do it that way. When Mike arrives, I'll go find Qin Huairu."

Han Yue was afraid that things would get out of hand and become difficult to manage, so he tried to persuade the two of them to stop.

"Don't do anything reckless."

Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything reckless."

I want to see just who Mike and Jin Jichuan actually know.

Han Yue was taken aback, then he understood what Sha Zhu meant. This was forcing Mike to go find someone.

The people Mike could contact were definitely people connected to them.

These people might include spies, or those who assist Mike's espionage activities.

Once these people show themselves, it will be much easier for them to investigate.

Ma Hua didn't understand and thought that Sha Zhu was going to bow down to Qin Huairu for his sake.

Sha Zhu had finally managed to escape the Jia family, and he certainly didn't want Sha Zhu to continue working for them like a slave.

"Master, it's really not necessary. I can think of something."

Sha Zhu knew that Ma Hua was stubborn; once he made up his mind, not even eight horses could pull him back.

He said, "Are you still going to listen to your master?"

Xu Damao, who was standing nearby, also persuaded him, and Ma Hua finally agreed.

In the west wing, Qin Huairu cried for most of the day.

She started crying even before she married Jia Dongxu, lamenting her bad luck, saying she was born into a rural family.

Then she cried about how she had married a bad man: "I was cheated by an old man."

"Even though there's someone as good-looking as Sha Zhu in the courtyard, he introduced Jia Dongxu to me instead."

Liu Lan gave a very perfunctory response.

That's one thing to say to fool others, but to try and fool her?

When Qin Huairu got married, Jia Dongxu had the best conditions for owning a courtyard house.

He's handsome and has a job.

What did Sha Zhu have at that time?

Aside from having a better house than Jia Dongxu, there's nothing about them that compares to Jia Dongxu.

Even if Yi Zhonghai had introduced Qin Huairu to Sha Zhu, Liu Lan believed that Qin Huairu would not have agreed.

Another crucial point is Shazhu's age.

Sha Zhu was only sixteen years old at the time, far too young to get married.

If Qin Huai wants to marry Sha Zhu, she will have to wait at least four years in the countryside.

Liu Lan didn't believe that Qin Huai could stay quietly in the countryside for four years.

Marrying Jia Dongxu was the best choice for Qin Huairu.

More importantly, no matter how hard Qin Huai suffers, it can't compare to how hard Liu Lan suffers.

No matter how useless Jia Dongxu is, he will still give all the money he earns from work to his family.

Even if Jia Zhangshi held onto that money but was unwilling to hand it over, the money remained at home.

Qin Huairu also had Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu helping her. Basically, Qin Huairu never experienced hardship.

Where is Liu Lan?

She married a husband who rarely brought home any of his earnings and spent all his time fooling around with his cronies.

He even keeps a mistress outside the marriage.

Liu Lan had no one to help her at all.

Qin Huairu's weeping did not evoke any empathy from Liu Lan.

Seeing that Liu Lan didn't try to persuade her, Qin Huairu continued to cry. She cried about Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable behavior, about Jia Zhangshi's refusal to let him transfer his household registration, and then about Jia Dongxu's untimely death.

Liu Lan almost rolled her eyes. If she could, she would have preferred her husband to die young.

If Liu Lan were to suffer a work-related injury, she could receive some compensation.

After mourning Jia Dongxu's untimely death, she then lamented her own difficult life.

From gratitude towards Sha Zhu to tears, it all turned into love for him. Anyone who didn't know better would think she truly loved Sha Zhu that much.

"Liu Lan, I know I've wronged Sha Zhu. I've already reprimanded Bang Geng."

Sha Zhu, however, has never forgiven me.

I know you're close to Sha Zhu, I'm begging you, please help me.

Go and try to persuade Sha Zhu.

"As long as Sha Zhu forgives me, I promise I'll treat him well for the rest of my life."

Liu Lan pretended to think for a moment.

"Qin Huairu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but your son Banggeng really did do something wrong."

Without Sha Zhu, could he have lived this long?

Sha Zhu was completely open and honest with him, but what did he do in return?

Qin Huairu was unconvinced. What do you mean, without Sha Zhu, would Bang Geng have survived this long?

Bang Geng was raised with great care by her, so what does it have to do with Sha Zhu?

"You're right. I apologize on behalf of Bang Geng." (End of Chapter)
