My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 411: Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu carry out the death penalty

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The verdicts for Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were handed down. He Yushui looked at the verdict, tears streaming down her face. The word "death penalty" was particularly glaring. When the person who came to the station reminded He Yushui not to forget to pay for the bullets, Zhang Lei quickly took out the money and asked the person to pay it for her, afraid of upsetting He Yushui even more.

After everyone left, He Yushui looked at the verdict and said to Zhang Lei, "Brother Zhang Lei, I want to see my brother one last time."

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

Before they knew it, it was time for the execution. Many people arrived at courtyard number 95, all heading to the execution ground. Zhang Lei stood with He Yushui in the first row.

Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui through tears and shouted, "Yushui, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to our dad. My brother is gone, you have to take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, He Yushui cried out in anguish, "Brother! Brother, you stupid brother!"

Zhang Lei pulled He Yushui into his arms.

Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Lei and shouted, "Zhang Lei, I'm entrusting my sister to you. Please take good care of her."

Zhang Lei nodded to Sha Zhu and shouted, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll never let Yu Shui suffer in this lifetime."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Sha Zhu burst into tears, then smiled and said, "Zhang Lei, as long as you take good care of Yu Shui, I'll be your slave for the rest of my life."

Zhang Lei listened to Sha Zhu's words without saying a word, just watching silently.

Meanwhile, Qin Huairu frantically searched around with her eyes. She spotted Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng in the crowd and tried to call out, but Jia Zhangshi simply hid Bang Geng behind her back.

Qin Huairu looked around again, trying to find people from Qin Family Village, her parents, and her brother, but she couldn't find a single person from Qin Family Village.

With two gunshots, two lives fell on the execution platform.

At this moment, He Yushui could no longer contain herself. Crying and screaming, she rushed towards Sha Zhu's body. Zhang Lei followed closely behind.

Watching Yu Shui cry and vent her emotions, Zhang Lei waved for the people he had arranged to take away Sha Zhu's body. He glanced at Qin Huairu's body beside him, thought for a moment, and then had it taken away as well.

Looking at the drops of blood left on the execution platform, Zhang Lei felt a mix of emotions.

He had always considered himself very courageous in facing any problem, but when he truly faced death, he found himself timid. It wasn't just pain, but a loss, a feeling of having nothing left, which left Zhang Lei unable to recover for a long time.

On the way back, Zhang Lei supported He Yushui as they walked in silence.

Back at courtyard house number 90, Zhang Lei looked at the weeping and haggard He Yushui and asked, "Yushui, do you want your brother's body buried with your father? And what about Qin Huairu's body? What are you going to do with it?"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Yushui shook her head and said, "My brother told him to be buried next to my father's grave. As for Qin Huairu, I don't know what to do."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Qin Huairu still has family members from her maternal home. I'll go and ask them what they think. If they're unwilling to get involved, we can just find a place to bury Qin Huairu."

He Yushui nodded and said to Zhang Lei, "Brother Zhang Lei, you can arrange it as you see fit."

After hearing this, Zhang Lei helped He Yushui slowly fall asleep. However, He Yushui kept holding Zhang Lei's hand even after falling asleep, so Zhang Lei had no choice but to stay by her side.

After returning to courtyard house number 95, the people who had come to the courtyard house gathered in twos and threes and began to discuss the execution that had just taken place.

Just then, Liu Guangtian suddenly smelled a foul odor. He sniffed it, then looked up and saw Yan Jiecheng. He immediately shouted, "Yan Jiecheng, did you pee yourself?"

Yan Jiecheng blushed instantly and cursed, "Liu Guangtian, what the hell are you talking about? You're the one who peed!"

But the more Yan Jiecheng cursed, the more certain Liu Guangtian became. He said to everyone, "Look, everyone, Yan Jiecheng is such a grown man, yet he's scared to death. Smell the stench on him."

Everyone immediately looked at Yan Jiecheng.

When Yan Jiecheng saw everyone looking at him, he strode forward, saying as he went, "Liu Guangtian, what the hell are you talking about? You're the one who peed, your whole family peed."

But this blatant attempt to cover up their misdeeds only made everyone burst into laughter.

The next day, the person Zhang Lei had asked came to Qin Family Village and told them about Qin Huairu's situation.

When Qin Huairu's parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law heard about Qin Huairu's situation, the family was thrown into chaos.

Qin Huairu's sister-in-law angrily retorted, "What do you mean 'our family'? A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; she's not part of our family. Our family wouldn't do such a thing."

Then she turned to her husband and said, "Let me tell you, you surnamed Qin, your sister can't be buried here. Burying her here will ruin the feng shui of the Qin family. If you really bury her here, see if the people of Qin Family Village will talk behind your back."

Qin Huairu's older brother listened to his wife's words, then silently squatted down, covering his head. He never expected that the news he would hear about Qin Huairu this time would be such devastating.

Qin Huairu's mother wept, saying, "My poor daughter, how could the world be like this?"

Qin Huairu's father silently smoked his pipe, his head bowed and saying nothing.

After his daughter-in-law had finished scolding him, Old Man Qin silently stood up and said, "That's enough."

Upon hearing her husband's words, Qin's mother felt as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope and said, "Old man, what do you think we should do?"

Old Man Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Beijing. If Huai Ru really did those things, she doesn't deserve to be buried in our Qin family's ancestral graveyard. But if these things are false, I will definitely make the Jia family and the He family give our daughter an explanation."

Hearing this, Qin Dazhuang, who was standing to the side, also stood up and said, "Dad, you're right. We have to go into the city. We don't know anything about my sister's situation. We can't just listen to what these people say."

Soon, under Qin Laohan's guidance, the family took their meager savings and set off for Beijing.

In courtyard No. 95, the subdistrict office specially dispatched cadres to conduct legal and regulatory knowledge training to enhance the legal awareness of the residents, since too many things have happened in courtyard No. 95.

Ye Shuqin's older brother, Ye Jianjun, complained to Zhang Lei every day.

Zhang Lei could only helplessly advise, "Brother, since the neighborhood committee made you study, just study hard. This is also an opportunity."

Ye Jianjun said helplessly, "What opportunity? You have no idea how tired I am after work every day. As soon as I get off work, I have to study with everyone in the institute. I feel that this studying is more tiring than my job. If you put these two things together, won't I be even more tired?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Brother, why don't you just suggest to the factory that you work overtime? If you can't handle the hardship of studying, then you can handle the physical hardship."

Hearing Zhang Lei's teasing, Ye Jianjun immediately retorted irritably, "You're just teasing me on purpose. I don't want to suffer any hardship."

Zhang Lei smiled at Ye Jianjun, secretly took a bottle of wine, and tucked it into his arms, saying, "Big brother, don't let second brother or third brother see this, drink it secretly."

Upon seeing the wine in his hand, Ye Jianjun was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, you're still the best!"

He tucked the wine into his pocket and walked happily toward his home.
