Chapter 208: Slut, Get Out of the Steel Mill
Sha Zhu felt his nose sore and tears almost burst out. He hugged Qin Huairu into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
"Huai Ru, thank you, thank you..." Sha Zhu murmured to himself, his voice full of gratitude and emotion.
Qin Huairu gently patted Sha Zhu's back and comforted him softly, "Sha Zhu, it's okay. Everything is over."
The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if the whole world had quieted down, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats.
However, what they didn't know was that behind a big tree not far away, a pair of resentful eyes were staring at them, full of jealousy, anger and hatred...
Qin Huairu's words were like a warm current, temporarily dispelling the haze in Sha Zhu's heart. He hugged her tightly, greedily breathing in the fragrance of her hair, as if this was his last straw.
"Huai Ru, let's go home." Sha Zhu let go of Qin Huai Ru, took her hand and walked out.
"Hey, wait, your big-character poster..." Qin Huairu struggled to go back.
"Fuck the big-character posters!" Sha Zhu's eyes turned red as he interrupted her rudely, "Whoever wants to read it can read it, I won't serve you anymore!"
Qin Huairu was shocked by Sha Zhu's reaction. She had never seen him lose his composure like this. She knew he was upset, so she didn't say anything more and followed him obediently.
When he reached the factory gate, Sha Zhu saw the eye-catching "big-character poster" at first sight. The white paper was filled with slander and attacks against him in bright red ink, and every word was heart-piercing and bloody.
"Silly Zhu, you are a shameless thing!"
"Get out of the steel mill, bitch!"
The workers who passed by pointed at them and whispered to each other. Those contemptuous and mocking looks pierced Sha Zhu's heart like knives.
Sha Zhu clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward to tear up the damn poster, but was held back by Qin Huairu.
"Shazhu, don't be impulsive. Let's not bother with them." Qin Huairu advised in a low voice.
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's pleading eyes, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He dropped his arms helplessly, letting those dirty words pour down on him like garbage.
"Let's go..." Sha Zhu pulled Qin Huairu, lowered his head, and quickly left this place that made him sad.
Back at the courtyard, Sha Zhu was still in a low mood. He sat in the room without saying a word, with Xu Damao's smug face and his fellow workers' contemptuous eyes constantly appearing in front of him.
Qin Huairu felt bad when she saw Sha Zhu in pain. She knew that Sha Zhu had a strong sense of self-esteem and this incident was a big blow to him.
"Shazhu, stop thinking about it and drink some water." Qin Huairu poured a glass of water and handed it to Shazhu.
Sha Zhu took the cup of water, but didn't drink a sip. He just stared blankly out the window.
"Huai Ru, do you think I am really stupid?" Sha Zhu suddenly asked, his voice very hoarse.
Qin Huairu held his hand distressedly and said softly, "Silly Zhu, how could you be stupid? You are just too kind, that's why you are bullied by others."
"Kind?" Sha Zhu laughed at himself. "I've been so sincere to them for so many years, but in the end, this is what I get. Is this my retribution?"
"Shazhu, don't say that. I believe good people will be rewarded." Qin Huairu comforted.
“Good people will be rewarded…” Sha Zhu muttered to himself, his eyes confused, as if he had lost the direction of life.
Seeing Sha Zhu's decadent look, Qin Huairu felt very uncomfortable. She knew that she had to do something to cheer Sha Zhu up again.
A bold idea emerged in her mind. She took a deep breath and summoned up her courage to say, "Shazhu, how about... we..."
Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked at Qin Huairu in confusion, not understanding what she wanted to say.
Qin Huairu's cheeks flushed with shame. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Let's...consummate our marriage tonight..."
Sha Zhu's eyes widened immediately, as if he had heard something incredible. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. He could only stare at Qin Huairu blankly, his mind going blank.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous, and the air seemed to be filled with a special fragrance that made people's heart beat faster and their mouths dry.
Qin Huairu lowered her head, nervously twisting the corners of her clothes, waiting for Sha Zhu's answer.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the occasional bird calls outside the window breaking the suffocating silence...
Sha Zhu stared at Qin Huairu blankly, his head buzzing as if struck by lightning. Qin Huairu's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him.
"Huai Ru, what...what were you saying?" Sha Zhu finally found his voice, but it was very dry.
"I say... let's consummate our marriage." Qin Huairu mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked straight into Sha Zhu's eyes.
Sha Zhu felt a warm current rushing to his head. He pulled Qin Huairu over and held her tightly in his arms. Qin Huairu snuggled in his arms, feeling the warmth of his chest.
That night, they forgot all their worries and pains and enjoyed each other's tenderness and caress.
However, peaceful life is always short-lived. The next morning, as soon as Sha Zhu arrived at the factory, he was called to the director's office.
"Shazhu, tell me the truth, did you steal this batch of goods?" the director asked seriously, with a document on the table.
Sha Zhu was confused: "Director, what are you talking about? What about stealing goods?"
"Are you still playing dumb in front of me? The purchasing department reported that a batch of steel purchased last month is missing, and you are the last person to handle it!" The director slammed the table and said angrily.
Sha Zhu immediately understood that someone was deliberately framing him! He immediately thought of Yi Zhonghai, the hypocritical hypocrite! Ever since Sha Zhu exposed his true face at the last college meeting, Yi Zhonghai has been holding a grudge against him. This time, it must be him who did it!
"Director, I didn't steal anything! I clearly put this batch of goods into the warehouse. If you don't believe me, go check it out!" Sha Zhu argued with reason, but seemed powerless.
"Where is the warehouse entry form?" the director pressed.
Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered that he had issued a warehouse entry form, so how come he couldn't find it?
"What? You are speechless?" The director sneered, "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Sha Zhu was extremely anxious. He knew that he was being framed this time, but he had no evidence to prove his innocence.
Just then, a figure appeared at the office door.
"Director, I know who stole this batch of goods!" The person who came was Chu Tian, who lived in the same courtyard as Sha Zhu and worked in the purchasing department.
When Sha Zhu saw Chu Tian, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Could it be that he knew something?
The director frowned when he saw Chu Tian: "Chu Tian, what do you know? Tell me!"
