Sha Zhu couldn't understand what Yi Zhonghai meant either. Why was he hesitant to leave? He just stood there, stunned, at the door.
After a moment of stunned silence, Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh.
“Zhu Zi, there’s no one else here, just the two of us, so let’s tell the truth.”
Sha Zhu blinked, unsure of what Yi Zhonghai wanted to say, and could only nod.
Yi Zhonghai sighed for the fourth time and said, "Listen to me and don't say anything. Everyone in the courtyard knows about your feelings for Huai Ru, but now is really not the time. I advise you to restrain yourself, otherwise it will damage Huai Ru's reputation if word gets out."
Sha Zhu wanted to argue, but he held back after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said next.
“If you really care about Sister Qin, then you have to consider the bigger picture. The whole courtyard is watching the Jia family’s current situation, so you have to be careful. If something bad happens to Dongxu one day, I’m not cursing Dongxu, but we can’t ignore the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, like this one.”
“If you still liked Huai Ru back then, you just had to tell Uncle Yi, and I would have spoken to him on your behalf.”
"To put it another way, even if Dongxu is unable to work and has difficulty supporting his family, his wife can find someone else and they can live together. This is very common in rural areas, and it happens even in our city."
Sha Zhu was immediately displeased: "Uncle Yi, what are you saying? You're asking me to recruit others, how can that be?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Yi Zhonghai simply sat down on the stool that Qin Huairu had just sat on. "Huairu is still young. Although she already has three children, if she were to marry you, she would have to give you two more."
Upon hearing that Qin Huairu should have two children for him, Sha Zhu was tempted. He wiped his face with his hand, took out a cigarette, and handed it to her.
Sha Zhu lit a cigarette for Yi Zhonghai and then squatted down at Yi Zhonghai's feet.
"Uncle Yi, how about we forget about it? It's true that I like Sister Qin, but she has a husband and children. What would it be like for me to live with her? Besides, I want to get married, have children, and live my own life."
When Yi Zhonghai arrived at Sha Zhu's house, all he did was sigh and talk.
Stamping his cigarette butt on the ground, Yi Zhonghai stood up, opened the door, and turned around to say, "Zhu Zi, it seems your feelings aren't deep enough. Let's just forget about it then!"
