Chapter 280 Anger
Chapter 280 Anger
As soon as he heard the noise in the room, Xu Damao knew that Qin Huairu must not have left the house yet.
He became even angrier in his heart, as he knew they must be hiding inside and dared not come out.
So he knocked even harder, as if he wanted to break the entire door down.
Qin Huai was so frightened at this time that she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, fearing that Xu Damao would do something even crazier.
Seeing this, Qin Jingru could only quickly step forward, pick up Huaihua, and gently comfort her.
However, such delay is not a solution. Xu Damao outside is already getting impatient.
The anger in his heart had burned to its peak, and now he could no longer endure such waiting and escape.
Because of Qin Huairu's avoidance and silence, Xu Damao could no longer hold back his anger.
He kicked the door hard and it opened with a bang.
As for Qin Huairu, who was standing behind the door, he was knocked to the ground by the impact of the door.
She was sitting on the ground with a look of confusion and helplessness on her face, but before she could react, Xu Damao grabbed her wrist fiercely.
Xu Damao's eyes were filled with anger and determination, as if he wanted to use the power in his hands to completely expose Qin Huairu's sins.
"Yesterday, you took advantage of me being drunk and defenseless to sneak into my house and take my things away, right?"
Xu Damao's tone was full of determination, as if the evidence was irrefutable, and he did not give Qin Huairu any chance to refute.
"So what exactly is missing from your house?"
Yan Bugui also came back to his senses at this time. He had never thought that Xu Damao would question him so directly. Now that he heard these words as soon as he entered the door, he immediately began to question him.
After all, if this matter got out of hand, it wouldn't just be Qin Huairu who would be embarrassed, but their entire courtyard.
"The rice, flour, grain and oil in my house are much less. The rice jars and flour bags that were once full are now empty. And the dried goods and bacon were also looted. Most importantly, the fifty yuan in my cupboard was also taken."
As Xu Damao spoke, he stared at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of scrutiny, as if he wanted to find any trace of abnormality on the other's face.
He was certain that all this was done by Qin Huairu. After all, apart from his contact with Qin Huairu, he had no contact with anyone else during this period.
Other people in the courtyard also knew that he had some savings due to his divorce, which made many people eye him covetously.
But no matter how many ideas those people have in their minds, if I don't contact them, they will never find an opportunity to attack me.
In fact, it was also his fault that he was blinded by lust. Why did he agree to go to Qin Huairu's house for dinner yesterday?
But even if the fault was his, Xu Damao would never admit it.
When the others heard Xu Damao's words, they were also shocked. They obviously didn't expect that his house had so many things.
A hint of jealousy flashed in many people's eyes. After all, in this era, not many people can own so many materials.
"Xiao Qin, if you really took someone's things, you have to give them back."
An aunt suddenly spoke, with a hint of reproach in her tone, as if she was admonishing Qin Huairu.
"Yeah, you can't just take other people's things. If your family really can't make ends meet, you can tell us and we can all help you find a solution."
Yan Bugui also spoke hypocritically at this time, but he did not really want to seek justice for Xu Damao, but was concerned about the fifty yuan.
He thought that even if he didn't return it to Xu Damao, he would at least get some of it.
Li Youquan looked at Yan Bugui's face from behind and couldn't help but reveal a hint of disgust in his eyes. He naturally saw through Yan Bugui's plan.
"You guys are just making up stories out of nothing and making malicious assumptions! How could I possibly take things from their house? This is simply an insult to my character!"
Qin Huairu had calmed down her inner panic at this moment. She straightened her chest and looked at everyone aggrievedly and firmly, as if what they had just said was so ridiculous.
Under normal circumstances, this expression would undoubtedly arouse everyone's sympathy and make everyone feel pity for her.
However, at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the 50 yuan that Xu Damao lost, and no one had the mind to appreciate her grievance and pretense.
"Personality, do you Qin Huairu have personality?"
I don't know who made the sarcastic remark, but everyone started laughing.
This also made Qin Huairu so angry that his chest kept heaving, as if he wanted to find the person who had just said that.
But after saying this, the man had already hidden in the crowd and could not be found at all.
"You can't say that. Everyone in the compound knows about your family's difficulties. Maybe you just got greedy and did something like this."
Suddenly, another voice came from behind the crowd, with a hint of sarcasm in the words.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with everyone, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing that things were developing increasingly unfavorably for her, Qin Huairu felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her body, making it hard for her to breathe.
She thought that as long as she refused to admit it, she would never be blamed for the incident.
However, the current situation is obviously beyond her control and she finds it difficult to accept.
She couldn't help but look at Li Youquan behind the crowd, her eyes filled with sadness and expectation.
Li Youquan naturally understood Qin Huairu's eyes. He knew that she hoped he could help plead for mercy.
But why should he help? He and Qin Huairu were not close friends, and he had no obligation to take on such a responsibility for her.
Seeing that Qin Huairu seemed to want to get involved with him, Li Youquan's eyes suddenly became cold.
He has always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", so naturally he would not give Qin Huairu such an opportunity.
"I'm curious, why did you go to Xu Damao's house for dinner yesterday? Is there some unknown secret between the two of you?"
Li Youquan suddenly spoke, shifting everyone's attention from Qin Huairu to the relationship between Xu Damao and Qin Huairu.
This question surprised everyone, and they began to re-examine the relationship between Xu Damao and Qin Huairu.
Their eyes moved between the two of them, becoming ambiguous.
The originally tense atmosphere was eased by this change. Everyone began to discuss the relationship between Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, and what had just happened was temporarily put aside.
