Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

The White Widow was stunned by the beating, but He Daqing had never hit her before.

He Daqing walked forward with a cold face, pinched the white widow's chin, and said viciously: "Tell me, was it Yi Zhonghai who asked you to seduce me back then?"

When Widow Bai heard this, her eyes changed from anger to guilt. Seeing her evasive look, He Daqing understood a little. He threatened: "Since I said this, I have a basis. If you don't tell the truth today, I will go back to Sijiu City tomorrow, and we will divorce and end it all."

Widow Bai lowered her head and thought to herself, if he is gone, who will help me raise these two sons? I can’t let the meat at my fingertips fly away. So she wiped her tears and cried, “Daqing, it’s true that Yi Zhonghai introduced us to each other, but I really like you. After so many years, can’t you feel it?”

He Daqing: "Don't give me any nonsense, get to the point."

Widow Bai thought for a long time and said hesitantly: "Yi Zhonghai gave me 100 yuan and asked me to bring you to Baoding to live. It just so happens that I also want to marry you, and my son is still in Baoding. So I went with the flow and agreed."

As He Daqing expected, at this moment, he felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.

He closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, and said, "Give me 200 yuan, and I will go back to Sijiucheng tomorrow."

Widow Bai didn't dare to refute. She handed over the money and asked aggrievedly, "Then, will you come back?"

He Daqing: "I'll be back in three or four days." He didn't want to return to the city for the time being, as some things needed to be considered carefully. The class background issue was still a hidden danger.

After getting off the train and returning to the city he had been away from for more than four years, He Daqing felt as if a seasoning bottle had been broken into, with all kinds of flavors. If he was not forced to do so, who would be willing to leave their hometown, and who would have the heart to abandon their children?

In the courtyard, the men had not yet finished get off work, and a few aunties who were not working were basking in the sun and chatting in the yard. When He Daqing and his son came in, everyone was surprised. Especially the auntie, she stammered, "Zhu...Zhu...Zhuzi, is this...is this your father back?"

He Yuzhu: "Well, Yu Shui missed my dad, so my dad came back to see him." He Daqing ignored everyone and went straight to his home.

Jia Zhang, who had a big face, looked at his back and spat, "Bah, look at his behavior. It's as if someone owes him money." He Yuzhu complained in his heart, isn't it true that someone owes us money?

He Daqing took out some money and asked his son to buy some food to improve Yu Shui's life at night. At the same time, he wanted to see how He Yuzhu's cooking skills were after not seeing him for several years.

The auntie was so anxious that she kept walking in circles at home. After being married for so many years, she had been in the same boat. How could she not know that her husband had intercepted He Daqing's money and letters? What should she do? She simply stopped waiting at home and walked to the entrance of the alley to wait for Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing that everyone was going home after get off work, she finally saw her husband. After years of marriage, they still had a tacit understanding. Yi Zhonghai asked in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong?"

The lady looked around like a spy meeting and said, "He Daqing is back." Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat and he stopped involuntarily. He knew what he had done and had to think about how to deal with what was about to happen.

He Daqing was sitting in the main room, while Zhuzi was in the kitchen preparing food. Hearing the noise in the east wing, he knew that Yi Zhonghai had returned. He stood up and said to his son, "Come with me, you don't have to do anything. Just watch."

I kicked open the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, and Yi Zhonghai came out quickly with a smile on his face, saying, "Daqing, you're back. I was just thinking of coming over to talk to you after dinner."

He Daqing didn't listen to his nonsense. He went up and punched him in the face, raised his right leg, bent his knee, and then pushed it into his crotch. Yi Zhonghai screamed and fell to the ground, his body bent like a shrimp.

Yi Zhonghai had already thought of how to argue, but he didn't expect He Daqing to be so aggressive that he didn't even give him a chance to speak. He started punching and kicking him. He was also a strong man, but he knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to fight back. At this time, he regretted his actions back then.

An old lady on the side advised: "He Daqing, if you have something to say, just talk it over nicely, don't use force."

He Daqing rode on Yi Zhonghai's body and slapped him again. Only then did he feel relieved.

Yi Zhonghai's screams and the aunt's pleadings alarmed the people in the yard.

The necromancer Chang Shi, the white lotus of the prosperous age Qin Huairu, the fat-headed and big-eared Liu Haizhong, the shrewd and calculating Yan Bugui, and so on all came over after hearing the noise. He Yuzhu locked the door from the inside and refused to let anyone in.

The third uncle Yan Bugui asked with concern: "Old Yi, are you okay?"

Yi Zhonghai endured the pain and replied: "It's okay, I have something to discuss with Daqing. You all can go back." Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone whispered to each other in the yard.

He Daqing sat down and looked down at Yi Zhonghai who was lying on the ground: "Tell me, how did this matter end?" It must be said that He Daqing's words were really concise and to the point. He didn't say a word of nonsense, just like Cai Quanwu who was very frugal with words.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked. He had no idea what He Daqing's bottom line was. When the pain eased a little, he sat up. He said, "So what do you think we should do?"

He Daqing: "Yi Zhonghai, are you still a human being? You are old, but you do such immoral things. You alienate our father and son for your own selfishness. Don't you understand the principle of alienating relatives? You ask me, I want to send you to jail to relieve my hatred."

He Yuzhu was watching from the side and was also shocked by his father's ferocity. Alas, it feels good to have a father to protect him.

The lady quickly took out a pile of money, which she probably prepared before. She put the money in front of He Daqing and said, "You have sent me a total of 480 yuan in the past four years. This is 960 yuan. Lao Yi was wrong in this matter. The rest is considered interest to you."

Yi Zhonghai argued, "I didn't intend to embezzle the money. I was worried that Zhuzi was too young and couldn't manage money, so I planned to save it for him to use when he got married."

He Daqing grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground with a bang. Pointing at Yi Zhonghai, he cursed: "You are still quibbling! I gave that money to Yushui for living expenses, not for Zhuzi's marriage. If they had starved to death, how could they talk about marriage. Well, well, since you don't admit your mistakes, I will let the people in the yard judge whether you can continue to be a big boss. Director Yang of the steel rolling mill has some friendship with me, I will ask Director Yang to do justice. I estimate that your sixth-level worker status will be demoted by two levels. If it doesn't work, report it to the police. You illegally intercepted other people's letters and embezzled 480 yuan in child support. At least you should go to prison for seven or eight years of labor reform."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were red as he stared at He Daqing and said, "He Daqing, don't forget, I have something on you too. If you push me too far, I will fight to the death. No one will have an easy life."
