He Daqing's sudden relief caught Xu Damao off guard. No, your son is about to find another father, and as his biological father, aren't you in a hurry at all?
"But Uncle He, even if you don't care about Sha Zhu recognizing Yi Zhonghai as his godfather, the White Widow is dead now, and you've been kicked out by your stepson. What's the point of staying in Baoding? Why don't you come back to the Forbidden City with me?"
Even if He Daqing has let it go, Xu Damao cannot let him go. If he gets him back, there will be a chance to destroy the relationship between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai. If he doesn't get him back, there will be no chance at all.
"Forget it, as long as Shazhu and Yushui are doing well, I can't go back!"
He Daqing was silent for a moment, but still shook his head to reject Xu Damao's proposal.
"I won't say whether Shazhu is good or not. He Yushui has always lived in dire straits. Now she won't even go back to the Siheyuan!"
When Xu Damao saw that He Daqing still cared about He Yushui, his eyes lit up and he immediately seized the opportunity to persuade him.
"What happened to Yu Shui? When I left, Sha Zhu was already working in the kitchen of the steel mill. As a chef, Sha Zhu would never let his sister starve, right?"
He Daqing was a little bit unconvinced. When he was a cook, his family had never been short of food and drink. After all, if the cook doesn't steal, the crops will not be harvested.
"Uncle He, what you said is a normal situation, but Shazhu is not normal!"
"Why is he abnormal? Did he learn Yi Zhonghai's self-righteous noble character and not take a single needle or thread from the factory? This is not like me at all!"
"No, Shazhu fell in love with the young widow of the Jia family next door. He often sent her food, drinks, money and tickets. The little oil and water he brought back from the kitchen was all fed to Jia Zhang and the children of the Jia family. Yushui didn't get any. She was as thin as a bag of bones. I felt sorry for her when I saw her!"
Xu Damao deliberately described He Yushui as miserable, causing He Daqing's dissatisfaction.
"What? You rebellious son, you rebellious son, why don't you learn from me? You like widows, and widows with children. I am a lesson for you. Do you think you will follow my example?"
He Daqing was really dumbfounded this time. He didn't expect that Sha Zhu had the same hobby as him. Could this hobby be inherited by a wife?
"No, I send money to Yi Zhonghai every month and ask him to pass it on to Yushui. Yushui should have enough for her. It's okay even if Shazhu doesn't care about her. Xu Damao, are you trying to cheat me, you little rascal?" He Daqing suddenly questioned Xu Damao.
"You sent money to Yi Zhonghai? I really didn't know about this. Not only me, but the entire compound didn't know about it, because Yi Zhonghai never gave He Yushui any money!"
This time Xu Damao was dumbfounded. He swears to God, although he deliberately exaggerated He Yushui's pitifulness, He Yushui really didn't get a penny from Yi Zhonghai.
"Are you saying that Yi Zhonghai swallowed the money I sent back?"
"Uncle He, how long have you been sending the money?"
"I started sending living expenses back to Yushui the first year I came to Baoding. Since Shazhu was working and could support himself, I wanted to send some money to Yushui. I never stopped sending five yuan a month. It's been more than ten years!"
The more He Daqing spoke, the lower his voice became. He guessed that since He Yushui had not received the money, it meant that Yi Zhonghai had swallowed up all the money.
"What a sin, Yi Zhonghai, that bastard!"
He Daqing couldn't imagine how He Yushui had managed to survive the past ten years when Sha Zhu didn't care about him and he had no source of income.
Chapter 221 The Reasons Why He Daqing Left
"Xu Damao, are you sure you didn't lie to me? Yi Zhonghai never gave Yu Shui a penny?" He Daqing asked seriously.
"Uncle He, I will be struck by lightning if I lie to you, okay? Really not. Yi Zhonghai may have given Sha Zhu some money, but that was entirely to build a good relationship with Sha Zhu and trick him into providing for his retirement. And he didn't say that the money was sent by you!"
Xu Damao swore to the sky and finally made He Daqing believe it.
"So how did the rain survive all these years?"
"He Yushui is like a weed. Even if no one takes care of it, it still grows tenaciously. But now she rarely comes back even during holidays, which means she is also heartbroken!"
When Xu Damao said this, he couldn't help but despise Sha Zhu. He only knew about Sister Qin and the Jia family every day and completely forgot that he had a younger sister.
"Uncle He, just come back with me. I think you should teach Sha Zhu a lesson and compensate Yu Shui at the same time!"
Xu Damao began to persuade He Daqing again, wanting to take him back to the courtyard and give Sha Zhu a good treatment.
Of course, he didn't dare to tell anyone that he had let the rat bite Xiao Shazhu and caused the He family to be extinct, otherwise He Daqing might kill him.
"I'll go back with you. I don't believe you've rebelled against him. You don't even care about your own sister!"
He Daqing was so furious that he really wanted to beat to death Sha Zhu, the evil creature whose soul was bewitched by the widow.
"Okay, let's go!"
Xu Damao was extremely excited, "Shazhu, Shazhu, just wait for death!"
"Wait, I can't go back!"
He Daqing stopped again and regretted his decision again.
"Why, Uncle He, you've already said this, why are you going back on your word?"
Xu Damao's mood was up and down, and he was really tormented.
"Let me ask you, what about the deaf old lady? How is she?" He Daqing asked seriously.
"She was discovered to be an enemy spy and was captured. I guess she will be shot soon!"
When talking about the deaf old lady, Xu Damao felt a little gloating.
This damn old woman, not only has she always favored Sha Zhu and suppressed me, she has also been planning to introduce her wife to Sha Zhu. She really deserves to die, and she deserves the fate she has today.
"really?"
"really!"
"really?"
"Sure enough, Uncle He, can I still lie to you? You should just come back with me!"
"Okay, let's go, let's go now!" He Daqing packed up his things.
"Is this true? Uncle He, please don't lie to me again!"
Xu Damao was made a little nervous and paranoid by the capricious He Daqing.
He Daqing didn't say anything. He packed up his things and walked straight to the train station.
Only then did Xu Damao believe that He Daqing was really planning to go back to Sijiu City with him, and he was overjoyed.
It's worth taking leave to come and see He Daqing. Shazhu, you want to recognize Yi Zhonghai as your godfather, how can I fulfill your wish?
Wait until I get your biological father back and make him fight your godfather, then I'll see who you will help.
And there was an unexpected surprise on this trip. No one expected that He Daqing had been giving money to He Yushui for so many years, but it was all swallowed up by Yi Zhonghai.
Even if He Daqing didn't go back, he felt that he could use this incident to sow discord between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
Of course, the effect would be better if He Daqing was willing to go back!
He Daqing walked silently, feeling a little complicated. He didn't expect that the deaf old lady was actually an enemy spy, and she was captured and would soon be shot.
Wasn't it because of the threat from the deaf old lady that he left the old city and went to Baoding to elope with the White Widow?
The old man was about to die, and he was finally free.
After He Daqing and Widow Bai met, they quickly became a couple, and one day they were caught by the deaf old lady.
The deaf old lady threatened to report He Daqing because He Daqing couldn't stand Sha Zhu getting close to her, so the deaf old lady hated him to the core.
She regards Sha Zhu as a candidate for retirement support, but to achieve her goal, she must eliminate the obstacle of He Daqing.
Unfortunately, He Daqing was a tough guy and was not afraid of her at all. He even said that if the deaf old lady reported him, he would get married to the White Widow, since they were both single anyway.
The deaf old lady didn't expect He Daqing to be so difficult to deal with, so when her first plan failed, she came up with another one and threatened to report He Daqing's background.
This really hit He Daqing's soft spot. Sha Zhu thought that his family was a family of hired farmers for three generations, but in fact, this identity was forged by He Daqing on behalf of someone else. Somehow, the deaf old lady found out about it and used it to threaten him.
He Daqing asked her what she wanted to do, and her request was that He Daqing leave Sijiu City and never go back, otherwise she would report him.
That's why He Daqing eloped with Bai Guafu to Baoding. Even after Bai Guafu died and he was kicked out of the house by his stepson, he never went back.
He Daqing and Xu Damao boarded the train to Sijiu City, but Sha Zhu knew nothing about it. He was chatting with Yi Zhonghai at Yi Zhonghai's home.
"Uncle, my colleagues from the kitchen would like to join in the family reunion party this Sunday. Do you think it's okay?"
After all, it was not his own money, so even though Sha Zhu had already promised Liu Lan, Ma Hua and Fatty to come to the family reunion banquet on Sunday, Sha Zhu still had to prepare it with Yi Zhonghai.
Don't let the situation happen when the old man's seat is not arranged properly and the person comes, because that would be a loss of face for him.
"These are all trivial matters. If there are more people, it's just a matter of having more pairs of chopsticks. If you have friends, just invite as many as you want. Are you worried that I can't afford the meal?"
Yi Zhonghai smiled calmly. It was just a little more money. What was the big deal? His retirement business was on the right track. Why did he still care about this little money?
"Yes, Zhuzi, call all your good colleagues and friends. This is a happy event, and everyone should share in the good fortune. The worst that can happen is that you can just set up a few more tables!" said an aunt with a smile.
She had long regarded Sha Zhu as her own child. After the recognition banquet, she would be his godmother. Wouldn't all the house and property she and Lao Yi owned be his from now on?
"Okay, then I'd like to thank Uncle and Auntie, but I don't have so many good friends, just these few people will be enough!"
Sha Zhu shook his head. He had a bad temper and foul mouth, so he didn't have many friends. He only had a good relationship with the people in the kitchen.
"By the way, Zhuzi, please invite Yushui back. After all, she is your sister!" The aunt reminded Sha Zhu again.
"She doesn't even know whether it's fake or not!" Kazhu said indifferently.
"How come there's no day off on Sunday? You should remind her to come back and have a good meal. How can she have any nutrition if she stays at school all the time?" An aunt couldn't help nagging.
"Why do you care so much? If Yu Shui doesn't come back, going to school is naturally more important. What if you call her back and it affects her studies?" Yi Zhonghai interrupted the old lady with a cold face.
Yi Zhonghai wants Sha Zhu to take care of him in his old age. He Yushui is just a burden, and he wishes He Yushui would disappear.
Chapter 222 He Daqing Returns to the Courtyard
"It's okay. Auntie is right. There will be no classes on Sunday if it rains. I'll ask her to come back then!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Sha Zhu couldn't help but try to smooth things over.
"Okay, by the way, ask your aunt to give you the money and then you can go buy groceries. After all, you are a cook, so you have a better eye, right?"
Since Sha Zhu said so, Yi Zhonghai no longer objected, but asked an old lady to get the money and bills for Sha Zhu.
"Too much, there's no need for so much!"
Sha Zhu was a little surprised when he saw the two hundred yuan and various bills in his hand.
"It's not much. Make it richer and add more meat dishes. Don't be so stingy. If the people in the next yard see us, they will think that I, Yi Zhonghai, can't afford to entertain them!" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go back first. Uncle and aunt, can you guys have a good rest?"
Sha Zhu nodded, then left with the money.
At the same time, Lou Xiao'e was having a barbecue at Lin Fan's house.
"Oh my god, it's so delicious. Xiao Meng, how did you make it? I want to learn how to make it!" Lou Xiao'e ate the skewers like crazy, her mouth full of oil.
