Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2560 Arguing as soon as they meet

Qin Huairu's initial attraction lasted only three seconds before she regained her composure.

Normally speaking, she should indeed apologize to Sha Zhu.

The matter was originally the Jia family's fault, and they should apologize.

Moreover, the Jia family also needed Sha Zhu's help, so they asked Sha Zhu to act as a go-between.

So, exchanging an apology for Sha Zhu's forgiveness is a very worthwhile deal.

But this normal situation is abnormal when it happens to Sha Zhu.

When have they ever been so humble and subservient when they asked Sha Zhu for help?

She never truly apologized to Sha Zhu in her entire life.

Now they're not only making her apologize, but also forcing her to come forward and offer her apology.

Does Sha Zhu have the qualifications?

If she really had to apologize to Sha Zhu, what should she say?

They said the Jia family shouldn't have been sucking Sha Zhu's blood, and that she shouldn't have used Sha Zhu as a crony.

If she says it's the Jia family's fault, how will she be able to face Sha Zhu with a straight face in the future?

She cannot admit her mistake.

"Liu Lan, you're killing me! I sincerely want to apologize to Sha Zhu, and I also want to spend the rest of my life with him in harmony."

But look how old I am!

If I did exactly as you say, would I still be alive?

My whole life has been manipulated by an old man, serving as his maid and servant, taking care of the elderly in the courtyard.

Now, with great difficulty, we've finally managed to send those elderly people away.

I want to live for myself for a few years.

I'd rather live a few more years for Sha Zhu.

I'm suffering, but Sha Zhu is suffering even more than me.

All I can do now is let Sha Zhu enjoy a few days of happiness.

I want to take care of Sha Zhu and grow old with him.

Liu Lan thought to herself, "You're already all white-haired. No matter how black your hair is dyed, it can't change the fact that you're old."

That's what they think in their hearts, but that's not what they say out loud.

"I understand what you're saying. But you also know about Sha Zhu."

When he gets stubborn, he won't listen to anyone.

"If only Yi Zhonghai were alive. Ever since that deaf old woman died, only he has been able to persuade Sha Zhu."

Qin Huai sighed helplessly.

When Yi Zhonghai was alive, she felt that he was a burden and caused her trouble all the time.

Only after Yi Zhonghai died did she realize that he was the guarantee of her family's happy life.

Even if Yi Zhonghai could only lie in bed, Sha Zhu would obediently listen to him.

Unfortunately, it's too late to understand all this now.

"Don't mention that old man. He was the mastermind behind the scheme against Sha Zhu. I was forced into it."

Back when I married Dongxu, he told me that Shazhu was abandoned by his own father and was very pitiful.

After I marry Dongxu, I will take good care of him.

I never expected that his talk of taking care of her was a lie, and that his real intention was to scheme against Sha Zhu.

Honestly, I've wanted to tell Sha-zhu the truth so many times.

"Then why don't you say so?" Liu Lan asked, curious about what kind of excuse Qin Huairu would come up with this time.

Qin Huai said slowly, "I dare not. Our whole family depends on Uncle for a living."

You wouldn't believe it, but there were a few families in the courtyard who didn't listen to the old man, and in the end, all three old men worked together to drive them away.

Dongxu is an apprentice of the First Master. If we don't listen to the First Master...

Then we would not only be kicked out, but our family would also be called treacherous and disloyal.

"How can we live if our reputation is ruined?"

Ultimately, it all comes down to Qin Huairu's own hardships.

Seeing that she couldn't say anything, Liu Lan didn't bother arguing with her anymore.

"Well, I'll go check on Sha Zhu's house."

Qin Huairu couldn't keep up the act any longer; she was afraid that if she continued, she would be exposed.

"Alright, go ahead. Talk to Sha Zhu for me later. If you can persuade Sha Zhu, I'll treat you to a meal later." Liu Lan was speechless; he only offered to treat her to a meal if he succeeded in persuading Sha Zhu.

Qin Huai is as stingy as ever.

"We'll see. Sha Zhu usually doesn't listen to me anyway."

Qin Huairu automatically ignored those words. She had become accustomed to others helping her, and whoever didn't help was considered to be in the wrong.

“Since you and Shazhu are such good friends, he’ll definitely listen to you.”

"No, please don't say that." Liu Lan was startled.

During the movement, Qin Huairuo did not marry Sha Zhu, but she still became Sha Zhu's wife.

The entire kitchen staff had to curry favor with Qin Huairu, and she was no exception.

The kitchen is full of Qin Huairu's eyes and ears; she can even tell if a female mosquito flies past Sha Zhu.

Any woman who dares to get close to Sha Zhu will immediately face Qin Huairu's retaliation.

After leaving the Jia family's house, Liu Lan entered the He family's main room and looked around at everything inside.

"It hasn't been easy. Shazhu, it's been so many years since you gave the house to Banggeng.

Sha Zhu and his friends sat at the table, drinking and waiting for Liu Lan to arrive.

Hearing that this was the first thing she said when she entered the room, Sha Zhu said irritably, "Why are you still so mean?"

"You came all this way just to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

Liu Lan said, "Is it not allowed that I came here to watch the fun?"

"Okay." Sha Zhu had no room to refuse.

Everyone in the alley knows what happened to him.

Ma Hua asked Liu Lan, "What did Qin Huairu say to you when you went to Qin Huairu's room?"

“There are so many. If you want to hear them, make room for me,” Liu Lan said.

Ma Hua voluntarily gave his seat to Liu Lan, and then went to the side and moved a stool for himself.

After Liu Lan sat down, she started to nitpick about the food on the table.

"You guys are just going to eat this with your drinks? You're all chefs, can't you make some proper snacks to go with your drinks?"

There was a plate of peanuts and a plate of Dezhou braised chicken on the table; it wasn't exactly shabby.

Sha Zhu said, "Alright. We're just having a few drinks, what are you picky about?"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu: "If you have a temper, go talk to Qin Huairu."

She angrily picked up the wine glass that Ma Hua had just used and took a sip.

Neither Sha Zhu nor Xu Damao had time to stop it.

This wine is a medicinal wine that we got from He Yuzhu. The two of them usually don't want to drink it.

I poured a glass for MCA because I saw how hard they were working.

After taking a sip, Liu Lan felt that the wine was not spicy and even had a sweet taste, so she took another sip.

Sha Zhu said to her, "Alright. That's Ma Hua's liquor."

Liu Lan said, "What's wrong with Ma Hua's wine? I can't drink his wine anymore."

Sha Zhu, you better tell me honestly where you got this wine from.

"How come I've never drunk it before?"

"It's none of your business where you got it," Sha Zhu said irritably. "Just tell me, what did Qin Huairu say to you just now?"

Liu Lan ignored Sha Zhu and held onto her wine glass tightly. She had been chatting with Qin Huairu, who had been sobbing the whole time, and the sound of Qin Huairu's sobs filled her mind.

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Lan felt her mind clear up considerably.

"Pour me some more, and I'll talk to you."

"No, that's all." Sha Zhu immediately refused.

These medicinal wines are simply unavailable outside. He and Xu Damao cherish them more than their own lives, and they rarely drink them in large gulps.

Both of them sipped their drinks slowly.

Unlike Liu Lan, who could drink almost half a glass of wine in just a couple of sips.

"You and Qin Huairu are a match made in heaven, both so stingy. Qin Huairu just cried to me for ages, and wouldn't even let me have a sip of water."

"When I got here, you didn't even offer me a drink."

Sha Zhu said angrily, "Shut up. She and I are not a match made in heaven."

"You might want to be her perfect match, but she has to be interested in you too." When it comes to arguing, Liu Lan isn't afraid of Sha Zhu. (End of Chapter)
