Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 210 Rescue
Standing at the gate of the yard and looking up at the familiar gate, He Daqing sighed deeply, then forced a bitter smile of relief.

The child has grown up, it's time to let go...

Just as he walked into the front yard, Sha Zhu's voice came from behind him.

"Dad, why are you walking so fast? Can't you wait for me before you can settle the score? If you make a mistake later, you'll have to beat me up again."

As the voice fell, He Yuzhu had already run to He Daqing's side.

He had figured it out. It wasn't worth it for a widow.

It seemed that Qin Huairu just didn't get along with his family, and the previous incident with Yu Shui was also the same.

My father finally came back, and he didn't want to lose his hard-earned home because of a widow.

The most important thing is that Qin Huairu is actually only slightly prettier than those old ladies in the factory, so there's really not much to be reluctant about.

All the girls in his dreams were prettier than Qin Huairu.

"It's good that you're here. I'll come and tell you later. Just bring out the bill."

He Daqing smiled from the bottom of his heart and patted Sha Zhu's shoulder.

It seems that this silly son of mine can still be saved.

"Hiss... Dad, be gentle, it's swollen!"

"That's what you should do!"

He Daqing cursed with a smile and walked towards the central courtyard.

Zhou Weimin, Zhou Weibing and Yan Bugui, who heard the noise and came out, couldn't help but show strange expressions when they saw this scene.

Just now He Daqing went out with a bitter and resentful look on his face, but now he is smiling again, and he has come back with Sha Zhu. It must be something exciting to watch.

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhou Weimin did not forget to call Jiang Qiuna. The four of them gathered together and walked towards the central courtyard cautiously.

He Daqing didn't keep them waiting for long, and soon he knocked on the Jia family's door.

"Qin Huairu, I know you are at home, come out, let's settle the accounts!"

He Daqing's voice was full of confidence, and the whole yard could hear it clearly.

Residents from the central courtyard and the back yard came out one after another to watch the excitement.

Qin Huairu had just finished feeding Huaihua. When she heard the knock on the door and He Daqing's shout, she was startled and almost dropped Huaihua on the bed.

After handing the locust flowers to Qin Jingru, he forced a fake smile and slowly opened the door.

"Uncle He, what's the matter? The child just went to bed. How about we talk about it tomorrow?"

When Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu was there too, she knew that He Daqing had discovered what happened today, and she secretly glanced at Sha Zhu with a bit of resentment.

However, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Just when He Daqing was about to settle the score with Qin Huairu, Quan Fengzhen and Zeng Zhenggang from the street office came to the yard again.

Seeing that everyone was gathering around to look at Qin Huairu, Quan Fengzhen stopped Zeng Zhenggang who wanted to step forward and stood silently among the crowd.

Quan Fengzhen wanted to see if there was anything else about Qin Huairu that she didn't know. Such a big incident happened yesterday, and today the whole hospital was watching her. She had to reconsider her opinion of Qin Huairu.

"No need to wait until tomorrow. I'm here to ask you to pay back the money you borrowed from Sha Zhu. Just go home and give it to me."

Seeing someone coming from the Street Office, He Daqing was not surprised but happy. Sha Zhu was lucky as he didn't have to find a way to spread the news.

Qin Huairu looked at everyone in the courtyard with a miserable face, and said aggrievedly: "Uncle He, Zhuzi has helped me a lot, and I will pay him back as soon as I have money. But my family depends on my salary to make a living, and I really can't pay Zhuzi back, otherwise I can't ask Zhuzi to borrow money."

Ever since Jia Dongxu passed away, Qin Huairu has been acting like life is not easy in the hospital, so when she said this, many people really believed her.

These people looked at He Daqing with some displeasure in their eyes. Life is already so difficult for a widow, why make things more difficult for her?

"Qin Huairu, don't say your family has no money. Jia Dongxu died of a work-related injury, and the steel mill paid for his funeral. The pension the mill gave was at least three or four hundred yuan. Tell me, where did your family spend the money?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still trying to gain sympathy, He Daqing directly exposed Qin Huairu's past.

Qin Huairu has always been a widow and said that life is not easy, so he took off this layer of skin to let everyone know how much money the Jia family has.

"Me, Banggeng and Xiaodang are all growing up..."

Qin Huairu stammered and tried to use the child as an excuse, but her voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, she just shrank back and said no more.

Her family didn't have much use for the money, and they didn't touch a penny of Jia Dongxu's pension, which was intended to be saved for Banggeng to marry.

Now that she was suddenly asked about it, she had no idea what to say.

He Daqing waved her hand magnanimously and was about to continue speaking when she was pulled back by He Yuzhui beside her.

"Dad, why don't we just call it a day today? The comrades from the neighborhood office are here. Sister Qin has had a hard time these past two days."

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's pale face due to fear, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

He Yushui, who was standing next to the two of them, almost dropped his eyes when he heard what Sha Zhu said. He said in disbelief, "Sha Ge, why are you still speaking for Qin Huairu? Dad is helping you to get money, not asking you to take the money out!"

"If you say that again, you won't want me as your father, and you won't want Yushui as your sister."

He Daqing glanced at Sha Zhu coldly, which made Sha Zhu shut up immediately.

"Qin Huairu, I know Jia Dongxu is gone. I won't say anything if you want to save more money for the child. Shazhu can't bear to see the child go hungry, so I'll lend you the money. I've never asked you for it before."

He Daqing paused here and glanced at everyone. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued, "But look at how Sha Zhu's reputation has been ruined because of helping your family. He is almost sacrificing his entire life to help his neighbor! Qin Huairu, just for Sha Zhu's reputation, you have to take out the money today and let everyone know that this money is borrowed and repaid. It's not that Sha Zhu wants to have something to do with a widow like you!"

These words almost blocked Qin Huairu's way out and also helped Sha Zhu change his reputation of being concerned about the widow to being helpful.

The most important thing is that He Daqing really appealed to people's emotions and reason, and he gained both the truth and reputation.

If Qin Huairu doesn't pay the money, she will be regarded as an ungrateful person.

But if she took out the money, her reputation would not be good. She had money but still asked Sha Zhu to borrow money, which made it clear that she was treating Sha Zhu as a sucker.

It can be said that no matter what Qin Huairu does, the blame will fall on her.
