Siheyuan, don't mess with me

The woman's face was obviously thicker than He Daqing's. He Daqing's face was flushed now, but she didn't change color at all, just like she was telling a story!

"Later, I found Yi Zhonghai, and he said he would find a way. A few days later, Lao He left with me! As for the time when Zhuzi came over, Yi Zhonghai came secretly. I took him to find a former sister of mine and arranged things for him. Then he ran away secretly. After that, we never contacted each other again!"

Chapter 124 Just for double insurance!

By this time, the truth had come to light. It was all Yi Zhonghai's fault. Chen Zhiguo's previous analysis was correct. Yi Zhonghai might have driven He Daqing away for the sake of his future retirement, but there might be other reasons involved!

Yu Li wanted to know more clearly, "Dad, do you know why Yi Zhonghai wanted to chase you away?"

"Isn't it for me to take care of him in his old age? Is there anything else?" He Yuzhu had heard Chen Zhiguo's analysis in person, but he didn't expect there was something else going on.

"Zhiguo is just speculating. Didn't he say so at the time? There may be other things involved, which is why he suddenly drove his father away!" Yu Li explained.

He Daqing was smoking quietly and recalling the past, "Or I rejected their request."

"What's the request?" He Yuzhu asked.

"At that time, I was the eldest uncle in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was the second son, and Liu Haizhong was the third son. Yi Zhonghai wanted us to respect the deaf old lady in the backyard, saying that she was a family member of a martyr and had donated shoes to the Red Army. She was an old lady worthy of our respect! I retorted at the time that she was just a five-guarantee household, not a family member of a military martyr. If she was, why didn't they hang a sign for her on the street? After I blocked her, the deaf old lady came to talk to me specifically and said that she wanted to recognize Sha Zhu as her godson and leave all her property to him in the future. I replied on the spot that my He family is not without ancestors, why should I recognize you? We parted unhappily! Not long after, I met your Aunt Bai, and something happened afterwards!"

He Daqing's narration was equivalent to restoring the whole thing. It was all the work of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, just to make He Yuzhu take care of them in their old age and till the end of their lives!

"Doesn't Yi Zhonghai have Jia Dongxu? Why is he still thinking about me?" He Yuzhu asked puzzledly. Ever since He Daqing passed away, the deaf old lady in the backyard was indeed very nice to him, and he was very grateful. He often cooked for her and brought some greasy dishes to her when he had nothing to do!

After He Yushui's incident, He Yushui's crying and Chen Zhiguo's persuasion, He Yuzhu stopped bringing leftovers. And knowing how the deaf old lady treated He Yushui, how could He Yuzhu still be nice to her if she didn't even give her the cooked noodles? The relationship gradually faded, and he would only go to Chen's house and his own home every day, and would not go to the backyard!

He Daqing wanted to say something, but looking at his daughter-in-law, "You tell him something!"

Yu Li thought for a while and said, "Although the deaf old lady has an aunt to take care of her, what will happen in the future when both of them are old? They can count on their apprentice Jia Dongxu, but can the deaf old lady count on Jia Dongxu? Definitely not. So, they thought of double insurance and let Zhuzi take care of the deaf old lady in her old age, so that both sides will have someone to take care of her!"

He Daqing nodded. This daughter-in-law is so smart. How lucky is this Zhu to marry such a good girl!

"Who is Zhiguo you are talking about? The boy in the front yard?" Chen Zhiguo was still young at that time and went to school every day. He had little contact with He Daqing, and He Daqing only had a vague impression of him!

"Dad, if it weren't for Brother Zhiguo, I would be in trouble!" He Yushui told He Daqing everything while crying. It was both a complaint and an apology!

After listening to this, He Daqing patted his head and said, "My daughter! Daddy is so sorry for you. You have suffered so much. And you are such a bad boy. How can you take care of your sister!" Then he stood up and was about to hit He Yuzhu. Yu Li and He Yushui quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, brother knows he was wrong. He has changed. He is very nice to me now. He has also improved himself. He was promoted to the next level and became the supervisor of the cafeteria!" He Yushui held He Daqing and spoke well of He Yuzhu. He Daqing also felt guilty. He did something wrong. Why did he blame the child for everything? "I didn't expect that you, a fool, could become a supervisor!"

"Dad, don't call me Shazhu anymore! I don't need to pretend to be stupid now!" He Yuzhu said blankly.

"What?" He Daqing was a little confused. How could this nickname, which had been used for more than ten years, be changed? Yu Li repeated what He Yuzhu said during the blind date. After He Daqing heard it, tears flowed down his face. "Dad was wrong. Dad will not call you Shazhu anymore, and Dad will not let anyone bully you anymore!"

No father will remain indifferent when watching his child being bullied. Children are the Achilles' heel of their parents!

As he was talking, the door was pushed open and a man walked in, saying in a frivolous tone, "Oh, it's so lively at home today! A guest has come, Old He, I'm a little short on money lately, can you lend me some money?" He stretched out his hand in front of He Daqing.

"No!" He Daqing's dead fish face was as stiff as a rock, "Hey! You old thing, I'm giving you face, am I?" The young man was about to make a move, but Aunt Bai on the side hugged him tightly, "Soldier, stop making trouble, mom will give you money!" She had seen clearly that with the father and son of the He family here, she alone could not beat them. In the past, it took the two sons together to barely defeat He Daqing. Now, with the father and son here, she would suffer no matter how she looked at it!

The young man who took the money pointed at He Daqing and said, "You old man, wait, I'll deal with you when I come back tonight!" After that, he left in a hurry!

He Yuzhu clenched his fists, "Dad, do they bully you often?"

He Daqing said angrily, "Your father is not old yet. No matter what, he has practiced martial arts and has been in the underworld. How can he be afraid of these little brats?"

"Okay, it's past noon, let's go out for dinner! There's no food at home!" He Daqing took the children out. Bai Qiuju naturally didn't have the face to follow them, so it was convenient for them to talk!

"Go back after you finish your meal!"

He Yushui burst into tears, "Dad, will you come back with us?" He Yuzhu also stared at He Daqing.

"What are you thinking about? Dad has to go back! Dad has to finish dealing with things here before he can go back. I was thinking of leaving my job to the Bai family, but now, I won't give it to them even if I sell it. You are all ungrateful!"

"Dad, you have to come back soon!" He Yushui was a little reluctant to leave. They had just met and were about to part! He Daqing rubbed her head and said, "My dear daughter, it will take at most a week. Dad will go back after he has dealt with the matter. You wait at home! Zhuzi, don't tell anyone that I am going back. I will tell you when I get back. This time, I will make Yi Zhonghai look bad!" He Daqing gritted his teeth and said,

"I understand. When you come back, don't go home first. Go to Zhi's house first. He's smart. Let's make a decision together!" He Yuzhu warned. He Daqing wanted to go back quietly and was worried about having no place to stay. "Okay, I understand. I won't go back to the courtyard yet!"

After sending them back on the train, He Daqing returned to the compound and asked, "Daqing, have your relatives gone home?"

"They are just distant relatives. They come to visit and then go back!"

"Hey! Your relative is really kind enough to come all the way to see you!"

While answering questions from neighbors, I walked towards home!

After returning home and closing the door, He Daqing's ugly smile disappeared. Bai Qiuju has been sitting there ever since He Daqing left. Although she originally approached He Daqing just to support herself and her two children, after so many years, there is some affection between them. Bai Qiuju knows in her heart that she can't keep He Daqing this time!

"Daqing, are you really leaving?" Bai Qiuju still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to hear the answer she wanted!

"Can you put the child down and come with me?" Although Bai Qiuju had impure intentions, she took care of He Daqing wholeheartedly and served him well. He Daqing also wanted to fight for it. Although there were still matters of Yi Zhonghai between them, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but this was not marrying a wife, so why should he care so much? He Daqing thought very clearly!

Bai Qiuju also wanted to go back with He Daqing. This man was really good! But she couldn't give up the two children at home. Besides, if she went there, would He Daqing's children be good to her? He Daqing would not marry her. She had begged him many times over the years, but he didn't agree! The most important thing was that after she went there, she would have to face Yi Zhonghai. Bai Qiuju had lived with him for more than a year. Although it was always at night, she was still afraid of Yi Zhonghai's cruelty!

In the house she rented before, there was always a second-rate guy harassing her. She told Yi Zhonghai about it. Not long after, she heard that the second-rate guy had his legs broken by a masked man at night and could never stand up again! This also made Bai Qiuju feel terrified. Yi Zhonghai arranged for her to get close to He Daqing, and she didn't dare to resist at all, because she was afraid of Yi Zhonghai's cruelty!

"I can't! This is my home!" Bai Qiuju shook her head.

He Daqing sighed, "After I leave, you have to take care of the children. They can't go on like this! What will you do when you are old?"

Bai Qiuju couldn't help crying any more, hugged He Daqing and cried. It was really different to have a man in the family and not have a man. He Daqing was gone. Although the two children in the family were adults, without He Daqing, the backbone, Bai Qiuju's heart was still empty. She had experienced this feeling once after her husband left. She didn't expect to experience it again now! The days ahead would be really difficult. Why couldn't she live a stable life? Was her life so miserable?

If it wasn't really hard to let go, Bai Qiuju really wanted to follow He Daqing. Who doesn't want to live a stable life?

He Daqing did not comfort her. No matter how much he said, it would all be nonsense. He had made up his mind to go on this journey. She had chosen her own path and she had to endure the hardships herself. He Daqing just hugged her and let Bai Qiuju cry her heart out!

At night, lights were on in every house, and He Yuzhu and the other two returned to the Chen family courtyard. "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!" He Yuzhu had only drunk with He Daqing at noon, so he didn't eat much. The train was bumpy, and he was already hungry!

"There are steamed buns. Eat some first! I'll go heat up some food for you!" Chen Zhiguo replied. They had just finished their meal!

"I'll go!" Yu Li stood up quickly!

Chapter 125 Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished!

Chen Zhiguo stopped Yu Li. The hard seats on the trains nowadays are made of wooden planks. It is normal to have backache and buttocks pain after sitting for three or four hours. There is no need for Yu Li to drag her tired body to cook! At the same time, Chen Zhiguo also pulled He Yuzhu on board. How could a man not care about his woman?

We had some hot steamed buns. We had no leftovers at home, so Chen Zhiguo made some tomato and egg soup, and He Yuzhu fried two vegetarian dishes. We had no appetite due to fatigue, so we just had a simple meal!

After the meal, the few people slowly recovered. The journey didn't seem very far, only about 150 to 160 kilometers, but it was very tiring. He Yushui was already drowsy. After Yu Li washed the dishes, she took her home to sleep!

He Yuzhu stayed, smoking, drinking tea, and telling about his experiences today!

"This old Yi is really a piece of shit. If he wants to take care of himself in his old age, how much better it would be to adopt an orphan. How considerate! But he just does these useless things every day!" Chen Dayong said indignantly.

"Yes! They all have evil thoughts, always thinking about getting something for nothing! It's so tiring and worrying to bring up a child since he was little! After he grows up, he only thinks about providing for him in his old age and only thinks about good things!" Wang Meihua was also indignant. It takes ten months of pregnancy, raising the baby bit by bit, changing his pee and poop. The fetus in the belly becomes a baby in the arms, and then the hungry child becomes a toddler who learns to talk and walk. Every bit of growth is the result of the parents' hard work!

I raised you to adulthood, and now you are worried about me. I am just thinking good things about you!

"Don't take this matter too far. When Uncle He comes back, we'll discuss what to do. My opinion is very clear. If you don't kill the snake, you'll only hurt yourself! Either don't do it, or if you do, kill it with one blow. Don't give him a chance to fight back! If I'm not at home for something, tell Uncle He my opinion!"

He Yuzhu nodded. He Daqing couldn't stay out of sight for a long time after coming back. As long as Yi Zhonghai saw him, he would definitely be alert and on guard! So he had to discuss the matter as soon as he came back to catch him off guard!

"I think we should let Uncle He and you report the case. The reason is that Yi Zhonghai embezzled your sister's child support! He embezzled a child's living expenses. Can you imagine how bad this is? I believe he will be severely punished. When the time comes, you and Yushui will tell him about your miserable lives. Do you think he will be fine?"

"Okay, let's do it!" He Yuzhu also hardened his heart. In his heart, he always thought that Yi Zhonghai was a good person and cared about him very much. It was not until the incident with Yu Shui and Chen Zhiguo's enlightenment that the relationship between He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai gradually faded! Now they have become enemies directly. He is the culprit for all the injuries and sufferings he has suffered over the years!

"Okay! Go back and rest early! You have to go to work tomorrow!" Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Zhiguo urged He Yuzhu to go back and rest. It was useless to say anything now. They could only wait for He Daqing to come back!

When He Yuzhu returned home and entered the middle courtyard, he clearly felt that the curtains of Yi Zhonghai's house were opened a crack. "Old man, what are you looking at! It really looks like a hidden poisonous snake!" He Yuzhu thought to himself.

Yu Li was still awake, half lying on the bed, "Is Yu Shui asleep?"

"Come back, take a shower and go to bed!" Yu Li got out of bed and got some water for He Yuzhu to wash his feet. "Soak your feet after walking all day!"

He Yuzhu then felt that life was good with a wife. There was someone to serve him and the house was clean. This was the life that people should live!

"Zhiguo said that he will find time next week to go to Director Li Huaide and ask for a temporary job for you. Do you want to work in the kitchen or in the warehouse as a warehouse manager?"

Yu Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll be a warehouse manager!"

"Why don't you go to the cafeteria? I can still take care of you!" He Yuzhu asked puzzledly.

"It's because you're in the cafeteria that I can't go. It'll be hard for you to manage me!"

"What's so hard about that? Just take care of whoever did something wrong!" He Yuzhu said nonchalantly.

"What would you do if I and someone else made a mistake at the same time?" Yu Li asked.

"This?" He Yuzhu was in a dilemma. He should treat everyone equally, but how could his wife be wronged? But if he didn't care, how could he convince everyone?

"That's why I can't be with you. If we're in the same factory, no one will say anything about you no matter how much you care about me. But if we're in the same department, people will say you're partial! That's not good for anyone!"

Yu Li's explanation made He Yuzhu understand, "Then go be a warehouse manager, that job is easy too!!"

"Okay, let's go to bed! It's already eleven o'clock!"

"it is good!"

. . . . . . . .

Chen Zhiguo slept in the new room today, and the original room remained unchanged. Originally, Chen Xiaoli and the others were supposed to move back there, but Chen Xiaoli, who was used to freedom, didn't want to move back under her mother's nose, and insisted on staying in the original room. The Chen family has always been open-minded, so they just followed Chen Xiaoli's wishes!

Chen Zhiguo's east wing has a living room in the middle. A circle of Luohan beds are arranged in a circle, and a tea table is placed on the right side, with three armchairs! The wood material is the same, all Huanghuali!

The bedroom is very simple. There are two kang cabinets on the kang, a large wardrobe against the wall, and a small table near the window!

The study was also very simple, with bookcases, bookshelves, antique shelves, and a large table! Four armchairs! Chen Zhiguo had already moved all his books here, but it still looked empty! When he had time, he would buy some more books!

After a simple wash, Chen Zhiguo read a book for a while, turned off the lights and went to bed before twelve o'clock!

. . . . . . . . .

He Daqing was very fast and appeared in the Chen family courtyard on Thursday night!

Chen Dayong and He Daqing are old acquaintances, but they don’t have many opportunities to meet!

But He Daqing is good at chatting and talking, and he and Chen Dayong have a very good chat!

He Yuzhu prepared dinner, with Chen Zhiguo in charge. He Yuzhu went into the kitchen on his own initiative after work, so Yu Li felt very relaxed. Apart from cleaning up the dishes after dinner, she had nothing else to do. Chen Zhiguo and Chen Xiaoli would help clean up. Such a family atmosphere made Yu Li willing to stay here every day!

Now, except for breakfast, lunch and dinner are all eaten at Chen Zhiguo's house at He Yuzhu's house. Yu Li was embarrassed at first, but He Yuzhu was carefree and pulled her over. When they just got married, Yu Li was alone at home at noon and was embarrassed to go over, so Wang Meihua asked Chen Xiaoli to come and call her. Later, after they got familiar with each other, after He Yuzhu went to work, Yu Li cleaned up the house and had no work to do, so she locked the door and went directly to Chen's house!

After dinner, Chen Zhiguo made tea, He Yuzhu boiled water, and a family meeting began!

He Yushui, Chen Xiaoli and the others were all rushed to Chen Zhiguo's study to study. Chen Zhiguo's big desk was prepared for them to study together!

"Uncle He, have you finished handling the matter in Baocheng?" Chen Zhiguo served hot tea to He Daqing and Chen Dayong.

"Everything is done. I sold my job and left two hundred for your Aunt Bai. I brought the rest of the money back!" He Daqing handed a cigarette to Chen Dayong and put the Daqianmen cigarette box on the table!

"Dad, how are you going to deal with that old dog this time?" He Yuzhu took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and lit it for himself.

"I brought back all the remittance stubs from these years. Tomorrow I will go to the post office to check who withdrew the money. Then I will go to the police station to report the case. If I don't put him in jail, I will have to be very careful in my life!" He Daqing's idea coincided with Chen Zhiguo's, both of them wanted to strike a fatal blow!

"Dad, your idea is the same as what Zhiguo said the day before yesterday!" He Daqing glanced at He Yuzhu, "What can you expect from your pig head?"

"How much money has Uncle He sent over the years?" Chen Zhiguo asked.
