Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 206 Congratulations!

Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, scratched his head, smiled and said, "It has just been decided, so I came to register right away."

Qin Huairu was carried on his back, listening to the discussions of the people around her. She felt her face burning and wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

After finally squeezing to the counter, Sha Zhu handed in the letter of introduction and household registration booklet. The staff asked without even looking up, "Name?"

"He Yuzhu."

"Qin Huairu." Qin Huairu said in a low voice.

The staff member raised his head, glanced at the two, then lowered his head to write something on the document, and asked nonchalantly, "Is it your own decision to get married? No one forced you, right?"

Before Sha Zhu could say anything, Jia Zhang rushed to say, "Comrade, what you said is a great thing. Who would force them? Right, Huairu?"

As she spoke, Jia Zhang poked Qin Huairu in the back with her elbow.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and whispered, "Yes...I am willing to do this myself."

The staff nodded, stamped it, and handed them the marriage certificate: "Okay, congratulations, and happy wedding!"

Sha Zhu took the marriage certificate and grinned, revealing his big white teeth: "Thank you, thank you!"

He excitedly picked up Qin Huairu, spun around several times, and shouted excitedly: "Huairu, we are married! We are married!"

Qin Huairu was held in his arms, feeling dizzy and everything around her became blurry. In her ears, Sha Zhu's excited shouts and the voices of blessing from the people around her echoed, but her heart was cold.

After coming out of the street office, Sha Zhu held Qin Huairu's hand tightly all the way, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Qin Huairu lowered her head, said nothing, and let him lead her away.

When we returned to the courtyard, several tables had already been set up in the yard, filled with food and wine, and the third aunt and others were busy entertaining guests.

When Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu came back, cheers suddenly broke out in the yard.

"The bride and groom are back!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a precious son soon!"

Sha Zhu couldn't stop smiling and pulled Qin Huairu to each table to toast.

Jia Zhang followed behind, constantly greeting the guests, with a beaming smile on her face.

Only Yi Zhonghai sat in the corner, drinking silently and watching the lively scene in front of him. He felt mixed emotions in his heart.

After Sha Zhu finished toasting, he returned to Qin Huairu. Seeing that she lowered her head and said nothing, he thought she was shy, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Huairu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at him, shook her head, and said nothing.

Seeing that she was silent, Sha Zhu thought she was tired, so he said, "Well, Huairu, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? I'm here."

Qin Huairu thought about it, nodded, turned around and went back to the house.

Sha Zhu looked at her back and felt a little puzzled. Why did his wife look so unhappy on their wedding night?

How could he know that at this moment, a storm was brewing in Qin Huairu's heart...

As the night deepened, the guests dispersed and the yard gradually became quiet.

Sha Zhu returned to the bridal chamber drunk and saw Qin Huairu lying on the bed with her back to him, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Huai Ru, I'm back." Sha Zhu burped and reached out to unbutton his clothes while speaking.

Hearing his voice, Qin Huairu turned around abruptly, looked at him coldly, and said word by word: "He Yuzhu, I tell you, I agreed to marry you only for the sake of the child and for myself, but I will never love you in this life!"

Sha Zhu was stunned and stopped moving his hands. He looked at Qin Huairu, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of hurt and disbelief.

Sha Zhu was sobered up by Qin Huairu's words. He stared at Qin Huairu blankly, as if he didn't know her. The wedding night should have been a time of love and affection, but he was poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his heart was chilled.

"Huai Ru, you...you are just saying that in anger, right? Is there something I did wrong? Tell me and I will change it. I will definitely change it!" There was a hint of pleading in Sha Zhu's voice. He wished Qin Huai Ru could take back what she had just said, even if it was a lie to him.

Qin Huairu turned her head away, not looking at him, and said in a cold tone: "I didn't say that in anger, this is what I really think. I married you so that the children can have enough food to eat and so that I can survive. It has nothing to do with you."

Sha Zhu felt as if his chest was hit by a sledgehammer, and the pain made him gasp for air. He staggered back a few steps, sat down on the bed, and muttered to himself: "For the child... for yourself... it has nothing to do with me..."

He thought about how good he had been to Qin Huairu over the years, how he had been sincere to her, how he had given her all his salary, and how he had even fallen out with his own sister for her and the Jia family. But in the end, he got this sentence in return.

Sha Zhu suddenly felt very ridiculous. He felt like a fool, being played around by Qin Huairu. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, stood up, and stumbled out of the room.

He didn't want to stay in this suffocating place anymore. He wanted to find someone to drink with and vent all the depression in his heart.

The next day, Sha Zhu went to work with a hangover headache. As soon as he entered the gate of the steel mill, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. The workers who usually treated him as a brother, saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding and evading him, not even daring to say hello to him.

Shazhu was wondering what was going on with all of them?

As soon as he walked to his workstation, he saw Xu Damao walking towards him with a smirk on his face, holding a piece of paper in his hand, as if he wanted to show him something.

"Shazhu, Shazhu, you are really a big celebrity in our factory! The funny things that happened on your wedding night have spread all over the factory!" Xu Damao said in a sarcastic tone, and the tone was as unpleasant as it could be.

Sha Zhu glared at him unhappily, ignored him, walked straight to his workstation, sat down, and prepared to start working.

"Hey, don't rush to work, come and take a look at this first." Xu Damao said, and slapped the paper on the table in front of Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu impatiently picked up the paper and took a look at it before his face turned livid. It was a "big-character poster" written on red paper, with the following words scribbled on it:

"It is a hooligan act to expose the moral corruption of the canteen chef He Yuzhu and his affair with a widow before marriage!"

There was also an unsightly cartoon below, which showed a man and a woman hugging each other. Although the painting was very abstract, Sha Zhu recognized it at a glance: the man in the painting was himself, and the woman was Qin Huairu.
