Chapter 135

When Chen Xueru heard the other party claiming to be her boyfriend, she quickly explained for fear of being misunderstood.

"Master He, don't listen to him. This guy is a scoundrel. I wouldn't let him into my house, so he started to make trouble. It's totally unreasonable."

"Sister Chen, don't worry, this kind of person is not worthy of you at all. I don't believe a single word of what you said. Boy, you dare to act like a hooligan to Sister Chen, I think you are blind."

As Sha Zhu spoke, he walked in front of Fan Jinyou and swung his fist to punch him directly. The fist hit Fan Jinyou's face and he started bleeding on the spot.

Fan Jinyou was beaten so hard that he saw stars and was about to fall down, but Sha Zhu grabbed his collar and pulled him up again, then punched him in the face twice.

Fan Jinyou was completely confused and was knocked unconscious on the spot.

"Master He, please be gentle, don't beat him to death."

Seeing how harshly Sha Zhu attacked her, Chen Xueru also felt a little scared.

At this time, Li Jiandong also got out of the car.

When Xu Zhengyang and Qin Huairu saw him get off the car, they followed him down.

"Zilla, stop hitting it."

Li Jiandong shouted, and Sha Zhu calmed down after hearing his words.

Turning back to Li Jiandong, he said:

"Master, this rascal bullied Sister Chen and pretended to be Sister Chen's boyfriend to harass him. I couldn't help but teach him a lesson."

Li Jiandong has a headache.

It was not a big deal for Sha Zhu to beat someone. After all, he had just seen that it was indeed the other party who was harassing Chen Xueru.

However, Sha Zhu felt helpless about the fact that his intelligence dropped when he saw a widow.

Of course, there would be nothing wrong if the two could get together. It is understandable that he would go to great lengths for his wife.

But the key point is that Chen Xueru may not be attracted to Sha Zhu, and it would be a tragedy if she ends up being left with nothing after licking him.

"Okay, stop talking. Chen Xueru, go call the police first."

Li Jiandong sent Chen Xueru away. After beating someone like this, he had to take action.

Anyway, you are in the right. If you wait for the other party to call the police, it would be like the bad guy filing a complaint first, which would put you in a passive position.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Chen Xueru agreed, went back to the yard, took out her bicycle, and went to call the police.

Qin Huairu walked to Li Jiandong and said to Sha Zhu,

"Zhu Zi, you are such a jerk. You hit too hard. What if someone gets killed?"

Sha Zhu snorted:

"It's his bad luck to get him killed. Who told him to be a hooligan?"

"All right."

Li Jiandong let out a low growl and tried to stop Sha Zhu's complaints. Seeing that the situation had reached the point where it had to be dealt with, he had no choice but to confront Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, let me ask you, are you attracted to Chen Xueru?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu was shocked first.

"Brother Jiandong, you must be mistaken. Zhuzi is still a grown man. Xueru is a nice person, but she already has a child."

Qin Huairu's views are the same as those of ordinary people.

Although Chen Xueru is a nice person, beautiful and rich, she is a strong woman who can share the pressure with men.

But she was married and had children.

Apart from being a little ugly, Shazhu has very obvious advantages.

Not only is he the director of the Nanluoguxiang Street Police Station, a young and promising man, but he is also a good cook.

With such good conditions, what kind of girl couldn’t find one?
Among the girls he rejected, there were some who were prettier than Chen Xueru.

How could he possibly fall for Chen Xueru, a divorced woman with children?

However, Sha Zhu's reaction left Qin Huairu dumbfounded.

"Master, I don't know if this is love or not. I just think Sister Chen is a very nice person, and it's not easy for her to raise a child alone. I just want to help her."

Shazhu is so old, but he is still a little ignorant about love.

He knew that he might have fallen in love with Chen Xueru, but he couldn't be sure, after all, no one had ever experienced first love.

"Okay, I get it. If you like someone, just chase them. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You don't have to care about whether they are getting married for the second time or the first time. As long as they have good character and no bad habits, that's fine."

After hearing what Li Jiandong said, Sha Zhu felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill and was no longer confused.

Even the master said that there was no difference between the first and second marriages, so he had even less to worry about.

"But, Silly Zhu, if you like someone, just say it out loud and pursue them openly."

"Why are you hiding like this?"

"Before, you secretly delivered food to Chen Xueru a few times, right? Including where did you go this afternoon? Did you think we didn't know?"

Li Jiandong continued speaking, but Qin Huairu next to him looked confused.

She really didn't know that Sha Zhu had secretly delivered food to Chen Xueru.

No wonder Chen Xueru thanked her when they were chatting last time, saying that Li Jiandong had people send her meat and vegetables every day.

At that time, Qin Huairu was nervous for a few days, thinking that Li Jiandong had fallen in love with Chen Xueru and was sending food to her in order to have something happen between them.

These days, Qin Huairu couldn't sleep well because of this matter, and she was too embarrassed to ask Li Jiandong directly, it turned out that it was Sha Zhu who delivered food there every day.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu with a strange look in her eyes.

If you like a girl, you can pursue her, but it is a bit hard to understand why she is delivering food under the name of Li Jiandong.

This was the first time that Li Jiandong scolded Sha Zhu so harshly, leaving Sha Zhu unable to raise his head.

Next to her, Qin Huairu realized that she had misunderstood before and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She pulled Li Jiandong's arm and advised:
"Brother Jiandong, don't be angry. You know Zhuzi. He is always simple-minded. How can he understand these things?"

"I know he doesn't understand, so that makes me even angrier. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, don't you have a mouth?

Why did you try to hide such a big thing from your father and me?
Although it is a new era now and we don’t care about parents’ orders or matchmakers’ words, but you didn’t even tell your family about such a big thing as finding a partner? "

Li Jiandong became angrier as he spoke.

Of course, half of it was fake.

He must make Sha Zhu realize the seriousness of the matter so that he can help him solve the problem of being a bootlicker.

Sure enough, after being scolded by Li Jiandong, Sha Zhu realized his mistake.

He bowed his head and apologized softly:
"Master, I know I was wrong."

Qin Huairu also advised: "Okay, Brother Jiandong, Zhuzi hasn't figured out his feelings yet. Now that we know, let's think about what to do next."

Seeing that Sha Zhu really realized his mistake, Li Jiandong's expression relaxed a little.

After thinking for a while he said:
"Zhu Zi is not young anymore. If you really like her, you should express your feelings openly. Now that we haven't even started dating yet, you should at least ask Chen Xueru what she thinks."

Dating is not a one-person thing. Just because someone likes you doesn’t mean that person has to be with you.

Although Sha Zhu has excellent conditions, not everyone cares about them.

Some women are obsessed with looks and don't care about anything else except appearance.

Then Sha Zhu's good conditions are completely meaningless.

Generally, people who are obsessed with appearance have no worries about food and drink and can support themselves, so they dare to pursue the appearance of their partner.

Chen Xueru is exactly this kind of person.

Therefore, it is too early to say what to do now. We have to see Chen Xueru’s attitude first before we can deal with it.

So, Li Jiandong said to Sha Zhu:
“How about this, when Chen Xueru comes back later, let’s finish today’s affairs first.

Tomorrow morning, when Zhuzi goes to deliver food to Chen Xueru, tell her clearly that you like her.

Ask her what she means, and if it works, then it works, if not, then change it quickly."

Although Li Jiandong did not object to Sha Zhu and Chen Xueru being together, he did not think that Sha Zhu had to marry her.

But Shazhu doesn't think so.

"Master, I, I..."

"Zhu Zi, why are you stumbling over your words? Just say whatever you're thinking. Why are you being so cautious in front of your master?"

Seeing Sha Zhu's hesitation, Qin Huairu said with some regret.

It's fine that he fell in love with a divorced woman, but he became such a coward because of his love for her.

He couldn't even speak. This was not Shazhu's style at all.

"Master's wife, I was thinking that if Sister Chen is not ready yet, I would still like to try my best to get her."

Sha Zhu racked his brains to come up with such a rather obscure sentence.

Qin Huairu knew what he meant as soon as she heard it. He seemed to have been bewitched by Chen Xueru.

Li Jiandong had long expected that Sha Zhu was this kind of person. Once he took a fancy to someone, he would never forget him.

You can call him a bootlicker or you can call him affectionate, anyway, he is so disappointing that Li Jiandong can't do anything about it.

"In that case, don't tell her directly yet." Li Jiandong turned around and said to Qin Huairu.

"Later, find an opportunity to test Chen Xueru's attitude. Otherwise, if Zhuzi goes to confess his feelings and I reject him, it will be difficult to handle the situation next."

Li Jiandong has some experience in love and is strategic in doing things.

If your confession is rejected, it will be difficult to make a comeback. Sometimes, if you continue to pester the other person, you will even be looked down upon.

Since Sha Zhu is so obsessed with Chen Xueru, Li Jiandong, as his master, has to stand on his side.

Let Qin Huairu test the waters first and help to bring them together. Even if it doesn't work out, you can still think of other ways to continue pursuing her so as not to be rejected outright.

"Okay, I'll find a chance to ask for Zhuzi tomorrow."

Qin Huairu also saw Sha Zhu's stubbornness, so she didn't plan to persuade him anymore.

A few minutes later, Chen Xueru came back with the police.

"Comrade, this is it."

Chen Xueru brought the police to the scene. There were two policemen in total. They looked at Fan Jinyou lying on the ground and asked, "Who beat him?"

"it's me."

Sha Zhu took two steps forward and said, "This man harassed women, so I beat him."

One of the two policemen looked at Sha Zhu, looking him up and down several times.

He asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Why do you look familiar to me? Who are you?"

"My name is He Yuzhu, and I'm from the Nanluoguxiang Street Police Station."

Sha Zhu introduced himself, and when the other party heard that he was from Nanluoguxiang Police Station, he immediately remembered who Sha Zhu was.

"So it was Director He. The flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple."

The other party greeted him with a smile, then turned serious and asked, "Director He, what's going on? Ms. Chen Xueru just said that she was harassed. It's not that we don't believe you, but we have to go through the procedures."

"I understand. That's what happened."

Shazhu is also in this line of work, so of course he knows what the procedure is.

So, he came back and saw Fan Jinyou harassing Chen Xueru, and Chen Xueru asked him for help.

Fan Jinyou was being unreasonable and trying to deceive him, so he told him everything.

The two policemen also knew Fan Jinyou and had had dinner together before.

Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and said:
"To be honest, this Fan Jinyou is from our neighborhood. He used to be a playboy. We have no doubt that he is capable of doing such a thing. In this case, we will not disturb He Suo's rest. Xiao Zhang, come with me and take Fan Jinyou back."

The old policeman turned and said something to the young policeman, and then the two of them lifted Fan Jinyou together and finally carried him on the back of the young policeman Xiao Zhang.

When Fan Jinyou wakes up, what should be waiting for him is the interrogation room of the police station.

"Master He, Deputy Director Li, Huairu, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't come back in time, I, a woman, would not know what to do if I encountered such a thing."

Chen Xueru was relieved to see Fan Jinyou being taken away, and she thanked Li Jiandong and the others repeatedly.

Li Jiandong knew that she was not in a good mood today and it was not appropriate for her to talk about love between men and women.

So, after a few simple polite words, he took Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu back.

the next day.

Li Jiandong and Sha Zhu went to work, and the children went to school and kindergarten. Qin Huairu was the only one left in the yard. Seeing that Chen Xueru did not go to the cloth shop today, Qin Huairu walked to her door and knocked.

After a long while, voices were heard in the yard.

"Who is it?"

"Xue Ru, it's me."

When Chen Xueru heard Qin Huairu's voice, she quickly took a few steps over and opened the door.

"Huai Ru, please come in. I just woke up and haven't combed my hair yet. Please go in and sit for a while."

Chen Xueru let the people into the yard, then closed the door and walked inside with Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu looked around Chen Xueru's house and asked, "Where's your son? Didn't he go to school today?"

"Yesterday was the weekend, so I sent him to his grandmother's house. The old lady missed her child, so she let him stay there for one night. I can rest today and sleep in, so it's killing two birds with one stone."

There was one thing Chen Xueru didn’t say, which was that Sha Zhu sent her four lunch boxes yesterday.

How could she and her child eat so much meat, so when she sent the child home, she also gave two lunch boxes to the elderly at home.

"Are your parents in the city too?"

Qin Huairu asked casually.

Chen Xueru picked up the comb and combed her hair in front of the mirror.

"Yes, my home is originally on Qianmen Street, and my parents' home is not far away.

Usually, if I am too busy, I will send my children to them and let them take care of them, which is quite convenient.”

Qin Huairu said enviously:

"That's great, my parents are in the village, and they only go back during the holidays.

I have to take care of all four children by myself, and sometimes they make a fuss and it’s really frustrating.”

Chen Xueru smiled and said:
"I envy you. It's more lively when you have more children. My family is just me and my son."

Qin Huairu felt that the topic had almost been discussed.

Suddenly said:

"Xue Ru, I think we get along pretty well. To be honest, please don't be offended."

"I think it's not easy for a woman like you to raise a child alone. If you have the chance, you should find someone to live with."

"You are still young, you can find a better one. If you delay any longer and get older, it will be difficult to find a good one."

In fact, Chen Xueru is not young anymore.

Although they are not yet thirty years old, women in their twenties are already old women these days.

Qin Huairu's words touched Chen Xueru's heart. Even though she had a glorious life as a boss and gave people the image of a strong woman.

But, when there is no one around her, she is just a weak woman.

Fan Jinyou last night was just one of her suitors. There were many other men around her who coveted her beauty and property.

It’s just that those people are more well-behaved and no one is as shameless as Fan Jinyou.

It would be fine if there is one person that Chen Xueru likes. She can just find another one. Having a man at home can solve many problems.

But the key is that she has high standards and doesn't like ordinary men, while outstanding men dislike her because she is a second marriage and has children.

So, after all these years, I haven’t found a suitable one.

"Huai Ru, it's not that I don't want to find someone, it's just that there is no suitable one. The men around me are either like Fan Jinyou, who looks good on the outside but is actually rotten on the inside. Or they are talented but too old. It's unfair to be with such a man. If I really have no choice, I would rather be single."

Qin Huairu said: "I do have a candidate, he's pretty good, but I don't know if you like him."

"Who?"

Chen Xueru's eyes suddenly lit up.

She felt that Qin Huairu had good taste and that she must be a very ambitious person since she could marry Li Jiandong.

The man introduced should satisfy you.

Qin Huairu said tentatively:
"What do you think of our pillars?"

"Zhu Zi? Are you talking about Master He?"

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Qin Huairu would actually introduce He Yuzhu to her.

Qin Huairu nodded and continued:

"Yes, that's He Yuzhu. He is the apprentice of my brother Jiandong. I have watched him grow up since he was a child. His character and personality are beyond reproach.

Moreover, the job is also very good. You heard yesterday that he is already the chief of the Nanluoguxiang Street Police Station at a young age. He has a bright future ahead of him."

"This……"

Chen Xueru was really a little conflicted.

To be honest, Shazhu is indeed a very good person, although he is a little ugly.

But, when you think about it, the moment he stood beside Chen Xueru yesterday and blocked Fan Jinyou for her was quite handsome.

But Chen Xueru still couldn't accept him.

"Huai Ru, there are some things you don't know. Master He is indeed very good, but it is impossible for me to be with him."

Chen Xueru's answer made Qin Huairu a little confused.

What do you mean he is good, but we can't?

Besides, in Qin Huairu's opinion, Sha Zhu's conditions were definitely more than enough to marry Chen Xueru, and it should be Chen Xueru who was marrying above her station. She thought Chen Xueru should be very happy to hear that it was Sha Zhu, but why did she look a little disgusted?
Is it because Shazhu is a little ugly?
But his father He Daqing is uglier and much older than Xu Huizhen.

Didn't she get married without hesitation when she was still a virgin?

As long as he can live a good life, who cares about a man's appearance?
Qin Huairu felt that Chen Xueru must have no idea of ​​her own worth, but Sha Zhu couldn't help but be optimistic about her.
