Ever since Sha Zhu lost his temper yesterday, he had done nothing but beat and scold Jia Jia Dongxu, not giving him a single grain of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Jia Jia Dongxu didn't even know where Sha Zhu and Qin Qin Huairu were. If this continued, he would truly starve to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Help! Someone come and save me! I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore! I’m so hungry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Dongxu’s lips were pale, his eyes half-open. Clearly, his physical condition was weak to a terrifying degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Jia Jia Dongxu was about to breathe his last, Yan Yan Bugui finally walked in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was shocked by Jia Jia Dongxu’s appearance—scars all over his body, his cheeks sunken!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He looked exactly like someone who had just escaped from prison!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With no color in his face and cracked, pale lips, Yan Yan Bugui didn't even need to think to know that Sha Zhu had been torturing Jia Jia Dongxu at home every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had really wanted to stop interfering in the Jia family’s affairs and had chosen to turn a deaf ear, but even if he had wanted to intervene, Sha Zhu wouldn't have listened to him anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Jia Jia Dongxu, how did you end up like this? What exactly has Sha Zhu done to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you hungry now? What do you want to eat? I’ll go back and get it for you. Sigh, forget it, look at you—just have some porridge!\" After receiving the message Chen Tian had sent, Yan Yan Bugui didn't dare to delay and rushed to Jia Jia Dongxu’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, seeing Jia Jia Dongxu’s semi-conscious state, he was shocked. If he had arrived a few hours later, Jia Jia Dongxu would have been dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the wounds on Jia Jia Dongxu’s body were worsening, and a foul, rotting stench was wafting from them!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Yan Yan Bugui brought two bowls of white porridge, Jia Jia Zhangshi took them and gulped them down, looking exactly like a starving ghost reincarnated!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First Uncle, you have to save me! Sha Zhu is like a lunatic now, staying at home every day, doing nothing but torturing and beating me. Look, my wounds are getting worse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't know where he ran off to now, but as soon as he comes back, I’m his punching bag!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Think of a way to bring Qin Qin Huairu back, or make Sha Zhu stop hitting me! I really can't take it anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Dongxu didn't want to live this life for another quarter of an hour; it was too miserable. He didn't know when he would suddenly die in the room he had lived in his whole life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't want to be beaten to death by Sha Zhu; that would be a death so miserable he wouldn't be able to close his eyes even in hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There’s nothing I can do about it. After all, when it comes down to it, he is your mother’s husband. How can I manage your family’s affairs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Just endure it for a while. When he returns to normal, he’ll surely divorce your mother and leave your house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And stop thinking about finding Qin Qin Huairu every day. Look, every time Qin Qin Huairu comes home, Sha Zhu forces her to marry him. How could she possibly come back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you have the energy, you’d be better off persuading Sha Zhu to stop targeting Qin Qin Huairu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yan Yan Bugui had learned a little about the relationship between Qin Qin Huairu and Chen Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't want to see Jia Jia Dongxu drag him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What neither of them expected was that Sha Zhu not only had no chance to target Qin Qin Huairu anymore, but he couldn't even leave the mental hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu and Qin Qin Jingru had returned to the countryside in the car with Chen Tian!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Tian’s status as a Grade 3 Senior Engineer was like a national treasure. When the village officials learned of this, they brought the entire village to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This spectacle made Qin Qin Huairu’s parents feel deeply proud; they hadn't expected their daughter to have such a glorious moment one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They had always thought their daughter was working like a beast of burden at Jia Jia Zhangshi’s house, suffering every day, but they never expected she would have the chance to become friends with such a powerful person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, Chen Tian had people renovate Qin Qin Huairu’s parents’ house and persuaded Qin Qin Jingru’s parents to let her stay and work in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a time, the whole village was stunned that Qin Qin Huairu and Qin Qin Jingru could be so capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My god, that’s an engineer! In a big place like the capital, an engineer is an incredible figure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard that engineers can earn 100 yuan just like that! My family probably hasn't earned that much in a whole year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Qin Qin Huairu is really lucky. I thought she was suffering in the city, but it turns out she’s flown up to the branches to become a phoenix!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Her parents’ house is being renovated now. Life in our village will be much better for them from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a time, the villagers were incredibly envious; their own houses hadn't been renovated in a long time!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, they couldn't believe Chen Tian’s status was real—that he was actually a legendary Grade 3 Senior Engineer!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They wouldn't even see a person of that level in their entire lives, let alone have him know Qin Qin Huairu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu was deeply moved, but she knew that Chen Tian coming back to the countryside with her was already giving her a lot of face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Qin Qin Huairu didn't dare to stay at her parents’ house for long; if she stayed the night and went back later, she might make Chen Tian unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-16T18:44:27.665Z","2026-06-17T08:56:13.387Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0496ff714cda2be1bc7b2fdb61336007dd68c94705e0781a73b27a5d4d695ab7","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-259","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-257",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
