Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 113 Strike
"Damn it! I'm going to go find him and get the money back!"

The fig leaf was torn off, and He Yuzhu could no longer pretend to be ignorant. The anger and shame made him want to drag Yi Zhonghai out and beat him up!
"Sit down! What's the point of beating him up? He's such a grown man, why is he still acting like a teenager?"

He Daqing scolded in a low voice and held He Yuzhu tightly.

This is not the way to deal with him. A beating that doesn't hurt him will never make him feel better.

"Let me go!"

He Yuzhu didn't listen at all. He yelled at He Daqing with red eyes, broke free from the hand that was holding his shoulder, and rushed out of the house.

"Snapped!"

A clear voice sounded in the room, and it was obvious that someone was in a good mood.

He Daqing slapped Sha Zhu and scolded him in a low voice: "Have you had enough of the trouble?"

"You hit me!"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards He Daqing in anger.

"Snapped!!"

He Daqing slapped Sha Zhu again with his backhand, grabbed his hand and pressed him to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, continuous hammering sounds were heard in the room, which stopped after more than a minute.

What to do if your child yells repeatedly? Just give him a beating!

He Yuzhu covered his face with his arms and begged for mercy, "Dad, stop hitting me. I won't cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai anymore."

After all these years, his father still beats him like a chicken. If he doesn't beg for mercy, he will be too embarrassed to face anyone tomorrow.

"Hmph, get up and sit down."

He Daqing snorted coldly, dusted himself off, and sat back on the stool.

"Dad, you're too cruel. I have to go to work tomorrow."

After being beaten, He Yuzhu was no longer awkward. He complained in a low voice like an ordinary father and son. Then he asked hesitantly: "When are you leaving this time? I'll go to the post office to keep an eye on you."

He Daqing glanced at Sha Zhu and said unhappily, "Why are you leaving? I'm not leaving."

But there was a smile in his eyes.

The child deserved to be punished. He is much better now after a beating. He can still be saved.

"Ah, will Yi Zhonghai report to the street office?"

He Yuzhu asked with some concern. The more he trusted Yi Zhonghai before, the worse he thought of Yi Zhonghai now.

Considering what Yi Zhonghai has done, it is not impossible to report it.

"He didn't dare."

He Daqing shook his head and said, "Tell me about the current situation in the hospital."

……

The next morning.

He Yuzhu walked out of the house listlessly with a washbasin in his hand. When he saw Qin Huairu, he just greeted her casually.

Qin Huairu saw that he looked unhappy, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Zhu Zi, did you not sleep well last night?"

He Yuzhu waved his hands and said absentmindedly: "It's okay, I just slept a little late yesterday."

I chatted with He Daqing for most of the night yesterday. He really felt that he had been so stupid over the years that he was starting to doubt whether there was something wrong with his brain.

"You still have to see each other today, so take some time to rest when you get to the factory, and be more energetic in the evening."

Yi Zhonghai came out of the house and just happened to hear the conversation between the two. He frowned and reminded them.

"Ah."

He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at him, suppressing the anger in his heart and responded. Yi Zhonghai frowned even deeper, Shazhu's current appearance was very abnormal.

He walked slowly to Sha Zhu, squatted down, and asked in a deep voice, "Did something happen?"

"Old Yi, long time no see."

Just at this moment, He Daqing walked out of the house with a smile, not at all the gloomy look he had when he came back yesterday.

"Old, Old He, why are you back?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the voice, his whole body trembled. He stood up suddenly, then squatted down again, almost kneeling in front of He Daqing.

"Shazhu and Yushui are getting old, and the family needs someone to take care of them. We don't plan to stay in Baocheng anymore."

He Daqing explained lightly, then smiled and said, "Old Yi, we are all old now. We should take care of our health and stop working so recklessly like before."

"Haha, I just didn't sleep well. I'll be fine after taking a break."

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. He had no idea when He Daqing came back, nor did he know what He Daqing had said to Sha Zhu.

I don’t know if Sha Zhu knows about what he did before.

He Daqing must go back quickly, otherwise something bad will happen!

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go call Yushui to get up for dinner. Come to my house tonight and we'll have a couple of drinks. We haven't gotten together in years."

He Daqing extended the invitation as if he were an old friend who had not seen each other for many years, and then walked to the door of He Yushui's house and knocked.

Yi Zhonghai agreed immediately, forced a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I'll bring some wine over tonight. Lao He, now that you're back, it's a good opportunity to go see the old lady. She hasn't been feeling well lately and has been lying in bed for quite some time. Seeing you back, she might feel better."

"It's time to go see the old lady. I'll go to the backyard when I'm done."

He Daqing turned around and said something. When he saw He Yushui opening the door and coming out, he stopped paying attention to Yi Zhonghai and said softly, "Yushui, Dad is back."

In fact, He Yushui knew yesterday that her father had returned. When Wei Mingge and the others returned to the yard, there was a lot of noise, so she lifted the curtains and took a look, and happened to see her father following behind Wei Mingge.

She burst into tears at that time. She didn't expect that her father would really come back. She struggled mentally for the whole night just to show her best side when she saw her father.

But now that I have really seen it, I can't stop the tears from flowing.

"Yushui, it's Dad's fault. I have made you suffer these years."

He Daqing felt bad when he saw his daughter crying.

He felt that he owed nothing to Sha Zhu, as the path had been arranged for him when he left.

But he really owed a lot to Yu Shui. Yu Shui was still a child when he left. He couldn't imagine how sad Yu Shui felt at that time and how she got over it.

He Yushui wiped away her tears and said to her father with a smile, "I'm not wronged. Dad, I'm glad you're back. I'm just so happy."

This crying and laughing look made He Daqing feel even more guilty.

"Yushui, Dad won't leave this time. No one can bully you in the future. Go wash your face. I made breakfast for you."

"Uh-huh……"

He Yushui nodded happily. It was good that she would not leave. She would have a home again.

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by the faucet, watched the father and daughter reunite with a gloomy look in his eyes.

After quickly washing up, he went back to the house.

The sudden change caught him off guard, and he had to think carefully about how to deal with what happened next.

He didn't believe that He Daqing knew nothing.

But I don’t know how much He Daqing knows, so I can only respond to his moves as they come.
