Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Chapter 222 Father He Passes Away

When He Yongqiang heard Xu Huizhen mention the cause of his grandfather's death, he knew he was in the wrong and changed the subject.

He stiffened his neck and said, "The document was in the tavern. I left in a hurry and didn't take it with me."

Xu Huizhen sneered and said, "Before the old man died, he asked me to burn the documents. It was clearly to clean up the mess, so you don't have to worry about it."

In the original plot, after the 1980s, in order to get the tavern back from Xu Huizhen, He Yongqiang sent his youngest daughter He Xiaoxia to Xu Huizhen's house again and again to look for the adoption documents. Xu Huizhen was well prepared and of course did not let them get what they wanted.

What Xu Huizhen said today completely put an end to He Yongqiang's thoughts, so he won't have to waste his efforts in the future.

He Yongqiang couldn't help but feel discouraged after hearing this. This uncle didn't care about the friendship between brothers at all! He didn't know whether what Xu Huizhen said was true or not.

Wang Lixin naturally sided with Xu Huizhen in his heart. Xu Huizhen had done him a favor, and he didn't know how to repay her. So he said, "In this case, the facts are clear. The house has nothing to do with He Yongqiang."

He Yongqiang raised his head and said, "Xu Huizhen just said that the old man left the house to Xu Jingli. Xu Jingli is not only Xu Huizhen's daughter, but also my daughter. Why does Xu Huizhen occupy the house alone?"

When Xu Huizhen heard this, she was furious. She stood up, took two steps forward, and slapped He Yongqiang twice. He Yongqiang was caught off guard and was hit hard.

After he realized what was happening, he raised his fist to fight back. As a man, being beaten by a woman was intolerable.

How could Xu Huizhen give him a chance? She raised her leg and kicked He Yongqiang in the abdomen. He Yongqiang fell to the ground holding his stomach. He didn't expect this woman to be so strong. It seemed that he didn't fully understand his ex-wife.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhi wanted to help, but He Yuzhu quickly stopped her. He said, "He Yongqiang deserves a beating, and it's only right for my wife to vent her anger."

As a police officer, Wang Lixin couldn't just watch them fight, so he pretended to come out and stop them, "Don't fight. This is a police station. Fighting is wrong."

In fact, it was just to hold He Yongqiang back and prevent him from having the chance to hit Xu Huizhen.

In fact, He Yongqiang didn't have the strength to fight back. The kick was too heavy. He couldn't even straighten his back and his face swelled up instantly. It can be seen how much strength Xu Huizhen used.

Xu Huizhen pointed at He Yongqiang with a trembling hand and cursed, "You still have the nerve to mention your daughter. At the critical moment when I was giving birth, you two shamelessly eloped. I couldn't even go to the hospital alone. If Cai Quanwu hadn't taken me to the hospital on his tricycle, I would have died on the street with two people. I want to ask you, are you qualified to be a father? You also know that Xu Jingli is your daughter? Have you ever looked at the child since he was born? Have you ever bought him a grain of food or an inch of cloth? Now that you are in trouble, you use your daughter as an excuse? What did you say when you divorced, have you forgotten?"

She took out the divorce agreement she had signed from her pocket. This was prepared in advance. Today she was here to fight, so of course she had to be fully prepared.

She handed the agreement to Wang Lixin and said, "Public Security Officer Wang, take a look. This is our divorce agreement. The neighborhood committee has a backup copy, so it can't be faked. It clearly states that he will be kicked out of the house."

Wang Lixin read the agreement and it was indeed written very clearly. When they divorced, Xu Huizhen had just come over, and in order to avoid future disputes, she plugged all the loopholes in the divorce agreement to prevent He Yongqiang from looking for trouble later.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "He Yongqiang! You are not a man. As a policeman, I have seen all kinds of life, but I have never seen someone as shameless and without moral bottom line as you. Grandpa He raised you and married you off, but you pissed him off to death and didn't see him off. How dare you inherit his family business? It is clearly written in the divorce agreement that He Yongqiang will leave the house with nothing. I tell you, you two are here to cause trouble for our police and waste police force. If you do it again, I will not forgive you."

He Yongqiang stammered, "She forced me to sign it. I didn't do it voluntarily."

No wonder Xu Huizhen insisted on him signing some agreement when she was getting divorced. It turned out that she was waiting for her here. It seems that he really underestimated this woman. It is true that women have the most vicious hearts.

It's also my own fault for being so confused. I was provoked by Xu Huizhen's words and signed without thinking much. Alas, it's no use regretting it now.

Seeing He Yongqiang like a defeated rooster, Xu Huizhi said: "No matter what, my father-in-law is Uncle He's younger brother. Now he can't eat. Xu Huizhen inherited the He family's business. It's not right for us to stand by and watch him die. It's reasonable for him to lend us some food, right?"

Wang Lixin: "We police officers handle cases based on the law. As for personal relationships, that is a matter between you. If Comrade Xu Huizhen is willing, we will not interfere. If she is not willing, we cannot force her."

Xu Huizhen: "Your father-in-law can't eat, that's because you, as sons and daughters-in-law, are unfilial and incompetent. Don't come to me, he is not my father-in-law."

Xu Huizhi: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be so cruel and not care about family affection at all."

Xu Huizhen said coldly: "Don't call me sister in the future. From the day you eloped with He Yongqiang, you are no longer my sister. Remember, don't randomly call on relatives in the future."

The matter was resolved here. Xu Huizhen requested that the results of today's trial be recorded in the file, and both parties signed on it in triplicate. Xu Huizhen kept one copy in case of emergency.

Then, he left the police station with He Yuzhu.

He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi also walked down the street with their heads down. He Yongqiang looked at the familiar streets in the capital with mixed feelings.

When he reached the door of the grain store, he saw the residents buying grain, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. His household registration was still in the capital and had not been moved back to the countryside. Logically, he should also be supplied with grain.

To be honest, after leaving the capital, He Yongqiang was too embarrassed to come back. He knew that he had a bad reputation. The fact that he had angered his adoptive father to death and eloped with his sister-in-law was enough to make him unable to hold his head up. He didn't know why he had been so stupid in the first place.

At this time, he didn't care about his face anymore. He happily ran to the grain station and consulted with the stationmaster Ma.

Stationmaster Ma told him, "Since you have a city hukou, you should be able to buy the rationed grain, but our grain store only recognizes grain books. Go back and bring your grain books back."

He Yongqiang asked: "Ma, may I ask the stationmaster, where can I get the grain certificate?"

Stationmaster Ma said, "Do it at the neighborhood committee." He Yongqiang rushed to the neighborhood committee again. Director Wang had a good relationship with Xu Huizhen, so naturally he didn't like He Yongqiang, but the system was there, so they had to do it for him.

With the newly-issued grain book, He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi ran back to the grain store. However, buying grain required money, and they only had some money for the trip, not for grain.

Someone who was buying grain nearby gave them an idea. He told them to sell half of their grain quota and use the money to buy the rest.

He Yongqiang thought about it and realized that this was the only way. His supply was originally 30 kilograms, but now he could only distribute 24%, which is kilograms.

I heard that He Yongqiang was selling a fixed amount of food and there were many buyers. So He Yongqiang went home happily carrying 12 kilograms of food. He was happy to think that he would have a supply of food every month in the future. In addition, when the weather got warmer, wild vegetables in the fields would grow. If he mixed some wild vegetables in, he would not starve to death.

As soon as he entered the house, He Yongqiang shouted happily: "Dad, Dad, I'm back from buying food."

Not hearing any response from his father, he put down the food and asked Xu Huizhi to cook porridge quickly. He then walked into the room where his father lived and saw his father lying straight there with a pale gray face. He reached out and touched his nose and found that he was no longer breathing.

He Yongqiang fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Oh my God! Why do you treat me like this! Dad, I am an unfilial son. I am sorry for you!"

He Yongqiang knew that his father knew that the family was running out of food, so he deliberately ate less to save food for his son and granddaughter. This disease was also caused by hunger. If he had eaten enough and had enough nutrition, he would not have passed away like this.
