Chapter 279 What Shazhu should do!
She sighed softly: "Shazhu, thank you for your concern and help for us over the years. I know you are sincere, but I can't promise you now."
Sha Zhu nodded and said with understanding: "Sister Qin, I understand your concerns. It doesn't matter, I will always wait for you and will always care about you and the children."
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's determined eyes and was deeply moved. She knew that Sha Zhu was a trustworthy person, but she needed time to consider and accept it.
The days went on peacefully, and Sha Zhu still silently cared for and helped Qin Huairu's family. Although he did not get a clear answer, his heart was still full of hope and motivation.
He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be recognized and accepted by Qin Huairu one day. All this made his life more fulfilling and meaningful.
Qin Huairu sat in a corner of the courtyard, holding the meat that Sha Zhu had brought. She chewed slowly, her eyes slightly drooping, looking thoughtful. This was not the first time she had accepted Sha Zhu's kindness, but every time, her feelings were complicated. Although she enjoyed Sha Zhu's efforts, deep down in her heart, she did not think it was a gift, but rather something she should take for granted.
She remembered the difficult days in the past. Without Shazhu's care, she and her children didn't know how to get through it. Shazhu had always given everything to her family without asking for anything in return, which made her gradually accustomed to this kind of care. Perhaps to some extent, she had already regarded Shazhu's efforts as a normal thing, thinking that it was his obligation to her and the children.
Qin Huairu took a bite of the meat and felt the fat melt in her mouth. The familiar taste made her forget her troubles for a while. Sha Zhu always got more food than others, especially meat, which was particularly precious in the era of scarcity. Every time he brought meat, she felt a little satisfied, but there was not much gratitude in this satisfaction. She felt that it was natural for Sha Zhu to be nice to her, because Sha Zhu liked her, and this was his way of showing it.
She put down her chopsticks, raised her head, and looked at the sky in the courtyard. Sha Zhu was a good man, but he was too easy to be taken advantage of, which made her feel both fortunate and a little disdainful. Qin Huairu felt that she was a realistic person. She understood that in this world, many things had to be won by oneself, and a selfless good man like Sha Zhu made her feel that he was a little silly.
She thought about her and her children's future, and she felt a little worried. How long can Sha Zhu help them? After all, he has his own life and can't help them unconditionally forever. Qin Huairu knew that she had to find a way to allow herself and her children to live independently instead of relying on Sha Zhu's help all the time.
At this time, Qin Huairu suddenly remembered that she had tried to talk to Sha Zhu about this issue. She said to Sha Zhu: "Brother Zhu, you are so good to us, I am really grateful, but I can't always rely on you. We also have to learn to take care of ourselves." Sha Zhu smiled, patted her shoulder, and said: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I am willing to help you, and I don't need you to return anything."
Qin Huairu remembered this conversation very clearly, but she did not feel too moved. Instead, she felt that Sha Zhu was a little silly. She knew that she and her children could not always rely on him for their lives, and she needed to find other ways out.
Thinking back to reality, Qin Huairu took another look at the meat in her hand and decided to put aside these thoughts for the time being. She knew that now was not the time to think about the future, and she had to go on with her life. Although Sha Zhu's help was only a temporary reliance, she had to seize every opportunity to make herself stronger and create a better future for her children.
When Sha Zhu came back, Qin Huairu was sorting some clothes in the yard. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Sister Qin, is there enough meat? If not, I'll get some more tomorrow."
Qin Huairu smiled and replied, "That's enough, Brother Zhuzi, don't work too hard, you have to eat something good." Sha Zhu nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll be happy if you are full."
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's departing back, feeling a little complicated. She knew that Sha Zhu was really good to her, but this kind of kindness made her feel a little at a loss. She didn't like the feeling of relying on others, especially when facing someone who treated her well without reservation.
The sky gradually darkened, and the courtyard became much quieter. Qin Huairu sat in the yard, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, thinking silently about the future. She knew that this road would not be easy, but she had to be strong and create a better life for her children.
Qin Huairu was immersed in her own thoughts, and the night became darker and darker. Her heart was filled with all kinds of complicated emotions, including helplessness towards Sha Zhu, confusion about the future, but more of a kind of determination. She knew that no matter what the future held, she had to rely on her own strength to move forward, because this was her only choice.
The next day, Qin Huairu got up early and started a busy day. While doing housework, she thought about how to improve the situation at home. Sha Zhu brought food again, this time not only meat, but also some fresh vegetables.
"Brother Zhuzi, you need these too, right? Why did you bring them all here?" Qin Huairu asked in confusion.
Sha Zhu smiled innocently and said, "Sister Qin, don't worry about me. I can still get it. I just want you and the children to live a better life."
Qin Huairu's heart was slightly moved, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhuzi, thank you so much."
Sha Zhu waved his hand and said, "Sister Qin, you are too polite. I will leave first. Tell me if you need anything."
Watching Sha Zhu's departure, Qin Huairu still had mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Sha Zhu's kindness to her would not change, but she also understood that such kindness could not be relied on forever. She needed to find her own way out so that she and her children could live independently.
As the days passed, Qin Huairu began to actively look for opportunities. She tried to learn some new skills and strive to make herself more valuable. She knew that only when she became strong could she truly protect the children and give them a better future.
And Sha Zhu was still as kind to them as before, helping them without hesitation every time. Although Qin Huairu didn't feel much gratitude in her heart, she gradually understood that Sha Zhu's kindness was a selfless care and a silent support for their family.
In this process, Qin Huairu gradually learned to be independent and learned how to better face the challenges of life.
