Chapter 438 A tall, thin middle-aged man
Qin Huairu was embarrassed and ashamed, her face flushed red, she tried to stand up in a panic, but because the ground was too slippery, she almost fell again. With tears in her eyes, she said angrily and anxiously: "Don't look at it, what's so funny, everyone has a chance to be careless."
But the neighbors couldn't stop laughing at this time, and they were still pointing and talking. Qin Huairu finally stood up, her clothes were soaked and smelled bad. She lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone's eyes, and hurriedly ran into the house. Her back looked so embarrassed, and the laughter in the yard continued for a long time before gradually subsiding. However, this matter became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner, and Qin Huairu felt ashamed in the yard for a long time.
Qin Huairu was already feeling ashamed and annoyed because of such an embarrassing thing that happened in her own yard, and was rushing back into the house. However, just as she reached the gate of the yard, she happened to run into people from other courtyards passing by.
Those people smelled a pungent odor from a distance, and they looked over and saw Qin Huairu, who was covered in urine and in a miserable state. One of the aunties first widened her eyes, then grinned and shouted at the top of her voice: "Hey, isn't this Qin Huairu, how did she get into this state, hahahaha, she must have fallen into the toilet, how funny."
Several young girls and boys nearby also laughed. One boy even joked, "Sister Qin, what new skills have you learned? Why are you competing with this chamber pot? I'm afraid the smell of you can be smelled by people in the surrounding villages."
Another middle-aged woman laughed and said to the people around her: "Look at this widow. She usually looks quite neat and tidy. But what happened today is really embarrassing. I guess she won't forget this embarrassing incident for a long time."
Qin Huairu listened to the merciless ridicule and jokes, tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly and quickened her pace to get away from these people, but they were still relentless and followed her for a few steps, continuing to laugh and talk.
An old man with good intentions couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them, saying, "Alright, stop laughing. Everyone has accidents now and then. Aren't you ashamed of laughing so loudly?" But those people only restrained themselves a little. When Qin Huairu entered the yard, she could still hear faint laughter and quiet teasing words coming from outside.
Qin Huairu returned to the room, slammed the door shut, and leaned against it, unable to hold back her tears. She felt that she was so unlucky today. This embarrassment had been exposed to the public, and she was afraid that people would point fingers at her wherever she went. She felt wronged and embarrassed, and the smell of urine seemed to remind her of the extremely embarrassing scene she had just experienced.
As soon as Sha Zhu entered the courtyard, he heard about Qin Huairu's experience and was immediately furious. He put the lunch box in his hand heavily on the table, turned around and rushed out, and happened to run into the neighbors of other courtyards who were still discussing Qin Huairu's affairs at the gate of the courtyard.
Sha Zhu stared at them, pointed at them and yelled, "You bunch of people, are you bored? You have the time to laugh at others, why don't you go home and look at yourself in the mirror! Qin Huairu fell down, it's bad enough for her, and you are still here making fun of her, have you any shame?"
A tall, thin middle-aged man heard this, curled his lips, and replied with disdain: "Hey, Shazhu, you are just trying to meddle in other people's business. What's wrong with us saying a few words? She fell down accidentally, and she doesn't want people to say anything?"
Sha Zhu got even angrier when he heard this. He took a step forward, put his hands on his hips and said, "Say it again? If you have the guts, say it to my face, don't gossip about me behind my back. Qin Huairu is from our hospital, and I just can't stand you bullying me like this."
A fat lady nearby also jumped out, crossed her arms and said, "Silly Zhu, what are you so great about? We didn't say anything wrong. It was funny that she fell in the urine. Is there something fishy going on with you protecting her like this?"
Sha Zhu's face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Stop slandering me here! Qin Huairu and I are innocent. I just can't stand your faces. What's the point of bullying a widow?"
At this time, another young man said with a smile: "Shazhu, you are so excited, do you like Qin Huairu? Otherwise, why are you so concerned about her?"
Sha Zhu was so angry that he stamped his feet and said with his eyes wide open: "You are just a young boy, you know nothing! I just can't stand your evil deeds. If you don't apologize to Qin Huairu today, don't even think about leaving."
The neighbors were not afraid when they heard this. Instead, they burst into laughter and said in unison: "We won't apologize, what can you do to us?" "Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten us."
Seeing them so arrogant, Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to take action. Fortunately, he was stopped in time by other neighbors in the yard, who persuaded him, "Zhu Zi, don't be impulsive. There's no need to bother with them." But Sha Zhu was still so angry that he was gasping for breath, staring at those people, and those neighbors showed no intention of backing down. The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like it was about to explode.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, an old neighbor who was highly respected walked out of the crowd. He frowned and said to the neighbors who were laughing at Qin Huairu: "You all should stop making trouble. Look at what has happened so early in the morning. Who doesn't have difficulties and embarrassment? Why keep harping on it? Forgive others when you can."
The neighbors listened, and although they were still grumbling, their arrogance was obviously not as strong as before. Sha Zhu was also held tightly by the people in the yard, and someone whispered in his ear: "Zhu Zi, calm down, don't make a big deal out of it, otherwise it will be difficult to end it later."
Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, glared at the neighbors fiercely, and said, "Today, for the sake of our old neighbors, I will let you go for now. If I hear you say bad things about Qin Huairu again, I will never let you go!"
The neighbors knew that Sha Zhu had a hot temper. If they really got into a fight, they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. So they took the opportunity to save face and slowly dispersed, muttering, "Humph, you're lucky today, Sha Zhu. You'll see what happens next."
Sha Zhu looked at their backs as they left, panting heavily, and turned back to the courtyard, heading straight for Qin Huairu's house. At this time, Qin Huairu was still crying in the house. When she heard the knock on the door, she opened the door and saw that it was Sha Zhu, and her tears could not stop flowing.
