Chapter 230 I want you to pay me!
"Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense here! It's obviously you who have a bad temper. You hit people over a disagreement and then you put the blame on me. Do you have any conscience?" Jia Zhang sat on the ground, crying and wailing, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Sha Zhu sneered, too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He pulled Ran Qiuhong and turned away.
"Shazhu, stop right there! You beat me and you want to leave? No way!" When Jia Zhang saw Shazhu was about to leave, she quickly got up from the ground and blocked their way.
"What do you want?" Sha Zhu looked at her coldly.
"I want you to pay compensation! Medical expenses, mental damage compensation, and lost wages, all of them cannot be less!" Jia Zhang made a huge demand.
Sha Zhu was so angry that he laughed: "Jia Zhang, you really won't cry until you see the coffin! Do you think I am afraid of you?"
"Hey, you still want to hit me? Come on, hit me here!" Jia Zhang pointed at her own face and said arrogantly, "If you don't kill me today, you are not a human being!"
Sha Zhu clenched his fists and really wanted to punch her in the face, but he finally held back. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Jia Zhang, don't go too far! Even rabbits bite when they are angry! If you force me again, I can't guarantee what I will do!"
Seeing that Sha Zhu was really angry, Jia Zhang was a little scared, but she still insisted: "Hey, you still dare to threaten me? I tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to the street office to sue you! I will ruin your reputation and make you unable to raise your head in the whole courtyard!"
Sha Zhu laughed in anger. He pulled Ran Qiuhong behind him, then suddenly reached out and tore open his clothes, revealing his strong chest. He pointed at his heart and yelled at Jia Zhang: "Come on! Hit me here! If you don't kill me today, I'll take your surname!"
Jia Zhang was frightened by Sha Zhu's desperate action and shrank back. She didn't expect that Sha Zhu, who had always been weak and could be bullied, would dare to risk his life with her today. The people around were also stunned by this sudden change, and there was silence for a while.
Ran Qiuhong was protected by Sha Zhu behind her. She was touched and scared at the same time when she saw the man who was willing to sacrifice everything for her. She gently pulled the corner of Sha Zhu's clothes and whispered, "Brother Zhu, forget it, let's go."
Sha Zhu looked down at her, the anger in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by deep tenderness. He gently patted Ran Qiuhong's hand, signaling her to rest assured.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, today, for Qiu Hong's sake, I won't bother with you." Sha Zhu slowly put on his clothes and said word by word, "But, listen to me, if you dare to bully Qiu Hong again, I will make you pay the price even if I risk my life!"
After saying that, Sha Zhu took Ran Qiuhong and left the courtyard without looking back.
"Sha Zhu! Stop right there! Don't run! You heartless beast! You will not die a hapless death..." Jia Zhang's curse came from far behind, but Sha Zhu didn't even turn his head.
Back in the house in the backyard, Ran Qiuhong couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She threw herself into Sha Zhu's arms and choked up as she said, "Brother Zhu, thank you, thank you for everything you've done for me."
Sha Zhu gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? You are my wife. If I don't protect you, who will?"
"But you were too impulsive today. You know that Jia Zhang is a shrew. It's not worth it for you to argue with her."
"I know, but I can't just watch her bully you. You are my bottom line, and no one can touch you."
Ran Qiuhong raised her head, looked at Sha Zhu with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhu, are you really not afraid that Jia Zhang will go to the street office to sue you?"
Sha Zhu sneered and said, "Sue me? If she really had the ability, she would have sued me to the ends of the earth. She only dares to make a scene in the yard. If she really wants to do something serious, she is more afraid than anyone else."
Ran Qiuhong was still a little worried and said, "But everyone saw what happened today. It will have a bad impact on you."
"It's okay. I have nothing to fear. They can say whatever they want. I am upright and I am not afraid of them."
Sha Zhu comforted Ran Qiuhong, but he was not at ease. He knew that what happened today would definitely cause a big uproar in the yard, and his future life would probably not be easy.
Sure enough, the next morning, as soon as Sha Zhu walked out of the house, he felt strange looks from all around him. Those who usually treated him as a brother and a friend avoided him like the plague today.
Sha Zhu sneered in his heart. He had expected this to happen. These people were usually smiling tigers, but once their own interests were involved, their true colors were immediately exposed.
"Silly Zhu, you were too impulsive yesterday. How could you hit Jia Zhang?"
"That's right. After all, Jia Zhang is an elder. It's really outrageous for you to do this."
"I think this country girl is not a good person. She came here to sow discord between Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi."
……
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Sha Zhu's face became more and more ugly. He clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked towards the steel mill without saying a word.
He knew that what was waiting for him today would be a storm.
Sure enough, as soon as Sha Zhu walked into the gate of the steel rolling mill, he was called into the office by the workshop director.
"Shazhu, what happened to you yesterday? Huh? Who gave you the courage to hit people in the yard?" The workshop director slammed the table and shouted angrily.
Sha Zhu lowered his head and said nothing.
"Are you mute? I'm asking you a question!" The workshop director became even angrier when he saw Sha Zhu didn't say anything.
"Director, I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? Do you know that you have brought shame to our steel mill by doing this? Now the people from the street office have called and said that they will deal with you seriously! Tell me, what are you going to do about this matter?"
Sha Zhu raised his head and looked at the workshop director, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Sha Zhu looked up and saw the fat, big-eared face of the workshop director, and suddenly felt sick. He was like a wild dog that was cornered, and everyone wanted to step on him.
"Director, I'm not wrong. It was Jia Zhang who went too far!" Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"You're talking nonsense!" The workshop director slammed the table, spitting all over Sha Zhu's face. "You're a grown man, and you got into a fight with an old lady. You still have the nerve to say you're not wrong? I think you've gone too far!"
Sha Zhu wiped the spit from his face, and he was furious. He wanted to have a big fight with this director who looked down on others, but he knew that doing so would only make things worse.
