Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 295 A familiar figure

In the dim moonlight, she saw a familiar figure - it was Sha Zhu's sister, He Yushui.

Qin Huairu quickly opened the door and asked anxiously, "Yushui, it's so late, what happened?"

He Yushui's face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying. She choked and said, "Sister-in-law...Brother...he was detained..."

Qin Huairu felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted. She held onto the door frame and asked, trying to hold back tears: "What happened? Why was I detained?"

He Yushui told Qin Huairu what happened in bits and pieces. It turned out that Sha Zhu was taken to the police station with an old man named Yi Zhonghai. After investigation, the police found that although Yi Zhonghai did not do anything, he was suspected of instigating the fight, and there was irrefutable evidence that Sha Zhu had hit Xu Damao. Although Xu Damao's injuries were not serious, Sha Zhu had a record of fighting before, and this time he was considered a "recidivist", so he was detained for fifteen days.

Qin Huairu felt dizzy after hearing this. Fifteen days! How was she going to get through these long fifteen days? What about the children?

She slumped in the chair, tears streaming down her face. Seeing this, He Yushui quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Brother will be fine. Fifteen days will pass quickly."

Qin Huairu shook her head and choked up, saying, "Yushui, you don't know, I... I'm scared..."

He Yushui put his arm around Qin Huairu's shoulders, patted her back gently, and said, "Sister-in-law, I know you are worried about my brother, and I am worried about him too. But now we have to be stronger and not fall down. My brother is in there, and we have to take good care of the children and wait for him to come back."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at He Yushui's determined eyes, and her heart was slightly relieved. She wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and said, "Yushui, you are right, we can't fall down. I still have to take care of the children and wait for Shazhu to come back."

He Yushui nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, don't go to work these days. Rest at home and take care of the children. I will ask for leave for you for things at the factory. If you need anything, just tell me and I will help you."

Qin Huairu held He Yushui's hand gratefully and said, "Yushui, thank you, thank you so much."

He Yushui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we are a family, why should we thank you?"

After seeing He Yushui off, Qin Huairu returned to the house and looked at the sleeping children with mixed feelings. During the fifteen days when Shazhu was away, she had to shoulder the burden of taking care of three children alone, and also had to face various pressures from the courtyard.

The next morning, Qin Huairu got up early. She simply packed up and started to prepare breakfast. The children were still asleep, and she didn't want to wake them up.

After making breakfast, Qin Huairu gently opened the children's door and woke them up to eat. Banggeng rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Mom, where's my dad?"

Qin Huairu suppressed the sadness in her heart and said with a smile: "Your father is on a business trip and will be back in a few days."

Bang Geng said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that whenever his father was away on business, his mother would be very tired.

After breakfast, Qin Huairu sent the children to school. On the way back, she ran into Xu Damao. When Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu, he smiled smugly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Qin Huairu, your husband was arrested. It must be hard to feel good, right?"

Qin Huairu glanced at Xu Damao coldly, ignored him, and walked away.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu's back and snorted with pride, feeling secretly happy. Now that Sha Zhu was arrested, he could finally vent his anger.

In the next few days, Qin Huairu had an extremely difficult life. She had to take care of the children, wash clothes and cook, and face all kinds of rumors from the courtyard.

Some people sympathized with her, some laughed at her, and some took pleasure in her misfortune. Jia Zhang even criticized her more harshly, saying that she had a bad fate and would bring bad luck to her husband.

Qin Huairu endured it all silently. She knew that the only thing she could do now was to live on bravely and wait for Sha Zhu to come back.

A week passed, and Sha Zhu still hadn't come back. Qin Huairu became more and more anxious, and she began to worry whether Sha Zhu would suffer in there.

That night, Qin Huairu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Her mind was full of Sha Zhu's image, and she was worried that he would suffer in prison.

Suddenly, she heard a slight noise outside the window. She sat up alertly and listened carefully.

The noise became clearer and clearer, as if someone was climbing the wall. Qin Huairu's heart sank suddenly. Could it be a thief?

She got out of bed quietly, picked up a wooden stick, tiptoed to the window, and looked out through the gap in the curtains.

In the dim moonlight, she saw a dark shadow climbing up the wall. The shadow moved swiftly and soon reached the roof.

Qin Huairu's heart was in her throat. She gripped the stick tightly, ready to fight back at any time.

At this moment, the shadow on the roof suddenly stopped, then slowly turned around. In the moonlight, Qin Huairu saw the man's face clearly...

With the faint moonlight, Qin Huairu saw the man's face clearly - it was Sha Zhu!

He had lost weight, had a scruffy beard, and looked tired, but his eyes were unusually bright. When he saw Qin Huairu, he grinned, revealing a slightly silly smile.

Qin Huairu's tears burst out instantly. She threw away the stick in her hand, rushed forward, and hugged Sha Zhu tightly.

"Shazhu, you're back! You're finally back!" Qin Huairu said with a sob, her voice full of grievance and longing.

Sha Zhu hugged Qin Huairu tightly, feeling her warm embrace, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Huai Ru, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry." Sha Zhu said softly, his voice full of apology.

The two hugged each other tightly and did not separate for a long time. At this moment, they forgot all their troubles and pains, and only had each other.

After a long time, Qin Huairu let go of Sha Zhu and pulled him into the house.

"Shazhu, how did you come back? Weren't you arrested?" Qin Huairu asked, her tone full of confusion.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "I was lucky. I met a kind person who interceded for me and released me early."

Qin Huairu finally felt relieved. She looked at Sha Zhu carefully and found that he was much thinner and darker than before.

"Shazhu, you must be suffering in there?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm tough, so a little hardship is nothing. But for you, raising three children by yourself, it must be very hard, right?"

Qin Huairu's tears flowed again. She nodded and said, "It was very hard, but fortunately, the rain helped me a lot."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu gratefully and said, "Huairu, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me."
