My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 378: Qin Huairu Brainwashes Sha Zhu

As the two were talking, the door suddenly opened, and Qin Huairu quickly released her grip on Sha Zhu's hand. He Daqing saw that Sha Zhu had already prepared the food and brought it to Qin Huairu, and immediately said, "Hey, Zhu, you didn't even tell me! Look at the two of us, we even overcooked the food."

Sha Zhu stared intently at He Daqing, his eyes fixed on him, sending a chill down He Daqing's spine. He Daqing found Sha Zhu's behavior strange and immediately asked, "Zhu Zi, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu quickly and quietly tugged at Sha Zhu's sleeve, which brought Sha Zhu back to his senses. He hurriedly said nervously, "It's nothing."

Looking at Sha Zhu's appearance and then at Qin Huairu lying paralyzed on the bed, He Daqing said, "This is inexplicable." He then looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, now that I'm here, you should go back."

But when He Daqing said this, Sha Zhu didn't move an inch. Qin Huairu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Zhu Zi, go back."

Sha Zhu nodded and left the room.

Watching Sha Zhu leave, He Daqing asked Qin Huairu with some curiosity, "Huairu, what's wrong with Zhu Zi?"

Qin Huairu quickly explained, "How would I know what happened to him? He probably got upset at the factory."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, He Daqing immediately said, "This Zhu Zi, he doesn't know how to control his temper. He's still so straightforward. This temper is likely to offend the leaders."

Qin Huairu looked at He Daqing and said, "Yes, you should try to persuade him more often when you have time."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Huai Ru, you are so considerate. I'll talk to him when we get back and tell him to stop doing thankless tasks."

Qin Huairu interrupted He Daqing and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Daqing, I'm almost fully recovered. I'm just wasting money at this hospital. I'll go home and rest."

He listened to Qin Huairu's words, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, since that's what you think, I'll listen to you. Let's go home; it'll be more convenient at home."

Soon, Qin Huairu was discharged from the hospital. Worried that Qin Huairu might be unwell, He Daqing specially called a rickshaw.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the tavern.

Chen Xueru told Xu Huizhen and her husband about Qin Huairu's miscarriage, and the couple were shocked to hear it.

Xu Huizhen quickly asked Chen Xueru, "Xueru, is this true?"

Chen Xueru nodded.

Hearing this, Cai Quanwu felt uneasy, after all, He Daqing was his brother. Seeing Cai Quanwu's expression, Xu Huizhen immediately understood and said, "Quanwu, how should we put it? They're relatives, we have to go and see them."

Cai Quanwu nodded and said, "Okay."

Soon, the two prepared the gifts and hurried towards No. 95 Courtyard. On the way, Xu Huizhen kept complaining to Chen Xueru, "Xueru, so much time has passed, why did you only tell me now?"

Chen Xueru said somewhat innocently, "How can I tell you? I only know it hasn't been long. I've been busy at the shop the whole time."

Chen Xueru didn't pay much attention to Xu Huizhen's complaints. After all, she knew Xu Huizhen was anxious. No matter what, they were relatives with He Daqing, and it was indeed a bit unreasonable to arrive so late for such a big matter. However, they couldn't be blamed, since no one had told them about it, and they couldn't possibly keep track of what was happening at No. 95 courtyard house every day, given how far apart the two houses were.

But soon, Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu arrived at courtyard house number 95. In the backyard, He Daqing had already tidied up the house and was about to check on Qin Huairu when he heard a rapid knocking on the door.

Upon opening the door, he was surprised to see Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu. He Daqing, seeing them, exclaimed happily, "Quanwu, sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

Xu Huizhen asked anxiously, "Daqing, how is Huairu? You see, we've been so busy with business every day that we haven't even noticed you. We just heard about it and Quanwu and I rushed over to see if there's anything we can help with."

Seeing their anxious expressions, He Daqing quickly invited them in and said, "Hey, this was an accident. I've been in the hospital these past few days and haven't had a chance to tell you. It's my fault."

Cai Quanwu also asked anxiously, "How is it?"

He Daqing looked at his younger brother and continued, "Sigh, the first child was miscarried."

Cai Quanwu said directly, "What a pity."

Xu Huizhen then went to Qin Huairu's side, took her hand, and asked with concern, "Huairu, how are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Huizhen, who was concerned about her, and shook her head, saying, "I'm much better now."

Looking at Qin Huairu's haggard appearance, Xu Huizhen said with concern, "This is such a pity. If you ask me, try to think more positively. You're still young, and your brother is in good health. Once you've recovered, we can have another one."

Qin Huairu listened to Xu Huizhen's words, nodded, and remained silent. Xu Huizhen continued to offer Qin Huairu words of comfort.

On the other side, He Daqing and Cai Quanwu stared at each other, not saying a word, just sitting there blankly. He Daqing looked at Cai Quanwu, asking a question every now and then, and Cai Quanwu just nodded, occasionally uttering a single word.

Zhang Lei looked at Chen Xueru who had returned and asked curiously, "Why are you back so early today?"

Chen Xueru recounted Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu's arrival. Zhang Lei immediately slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Hey, look at my brain! How could I forget about that?"

Chen Xueru looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Honey, don't blame yourself. I just remembered this."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Never mind, since you've already said it, it's fine. People would find out about these things sooner or later anyway, so you can't blame us for not reminding you."

Before long, everyone went back to work and school. But Sha Zhu took leave.

Not long after He Daqing left in the morning, a furtive figure arrived at He Daqing's house.

Qin Huairu was startled when she saw Sha Zhu running towards her. She exclaimed, "Sha Zhu, what are you doing? Why didn't you go to work?"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, I came to see you and see how you are."

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu and said, "What else can we do? Just leave it at that. Let him work as usual. What are we going to do, keep resting forever?"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu and couldn't help himself, so he grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and said, "You rest, I'll take care of things."

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu, patted his arm, and said with a smile, "You silly thing."

Sha Zhu, feeling itchy with desire after being teased by Qin Huairu, said, "Sister Qin, you should rest, I'll do the work." He then started working diligently.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, what's going on with what you promised me?"
