Get something in the courtyard

In Baoding not far away.

He Daqing was glaring at his son angrily, "Can't you do better for me? Your grades are always the last in the class. You have made me lose face."

"Old He, why are you so angry? The child can't learn it, but it's not like he hasn't studied hard. What can we do?" A widow who still had her charm stood in front of the child, blocking He Daqing.

Behind the widow was a fifteen-year-old boy whose face was 60% similar to Sha Zhu.

"Just stop him. He's so old, how can he go to college if he doesn't study hard?"

The little boy said unconvincedly: "I don't want to go to college. I want to be a chef in the future."

He Daqing was so angry that he picked up a broom and wanted to teach him a lesson: "He Yuliang, can you be more presentable? Did I raise you to be a cook? Didn't you listen? Your sister and brother-in-law said that it is popular to take college entrance exams now. In the future, Jiancheng and Jianye will be admitted to college. Will you have the nerve to meet them?"

He Yuliang was the son of He Daqing and Widow Li. Unlike Widow Bai, Widow Li had no children of her own. After marrying He Daqing, she especially wanted a son for future insurance.

Only after her son was born did she feel satisfied in her life.

This son was not easy to come by, and Widow Li was reluctant to beat or scold him since he was young, and spoiled him in every way.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never said a harsh word to her beloved son, and she did not allow He Daqing to teach her son a lesson.

In such an environment, He Yuliang developed a mischievous character all day long.

Maybe due to genetic reasons, He Yuliang is not good at studying, but his talent in cooking is no worse than Sha Zhu.

With Widow Li protecting him, He Yuliang knew that He Daqing couldn't do anything to him and was not afraid at all.

"If I can't get into university, I'll be a cook. Jiancheng and Jianye have both said they'll support me."

"You little bastard, you've caused chaos." He Daqing was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Widow Li glared at him, holding her waist with one hand and pointing at He Daqing with the other: "I don't think you dare to fight. Don't forget, He Yuliang is also your son, you can't favor one over the other. If you don't teach him your cooking skills, who are you going to teach him?"

He Daqing had been dominated by Widow Li for so many years that he dared not refute her at all: "I am so old and can't work, how can I teach him?"

Widow Li's momentum suddenly weakened. He Daqing was already over seventy years old, and no restaurant would hire him. A cook with no place to practice would never learn how to cook.

It is impossible to do it just by relying on the conditions of the family. Although their family conditions are not bad, they can only be said to be passable.

He Daqing dropped the broom and sat aside. When he wanted a son, he was so happy, but now he is so worried.

The age gap between his youngest son and BJ's older brothers and sisters is too big. They don't see each other often. It's easy to deal with He Yushui, but it's hard to deal with Sha Zhu.

The father and son have not reconciled until now.

Seeing that his parents didn't say anything, He Yuliang quietly ran out to find his friends.

Widow Li heard the noise but did not stop him. Since her child was not around, she could have a good talk with He Daqing.

"Well, why don't we go to BJ!"

When He Daqing heard this suggestion, his face suddenly became ugly: "No. I can't afford to lose face."

The more Widow Li thought about it, the more she felt that going to BJ was a particularly good suggestion. She had heard from He Yushui that a big hotel had opened in BJ. He Yushui had a small share in it. Wouldn't that be a good place for her son?

He didn't ask his son to get shares. As long as he could learn the skills and open a small restaurant in Baoding, he wouldn't have to worry about life.

"What's shameful? Go back and see your son, who can say anything? Yuliang and Yuzhu are brothers, they can't live their whole lives without seeing each other! Let the two brothers meet while you are still alive.

They are a family after all, Old He, can you just pity me?" He Daqing was not soft-hearted this time, he stood up, shook off Widow Li's arm, and walked out of the house.

The reason why he didn't go back to BJ was that he was waiting for Sha Zhu to come and invite him. He never expected that Sha Zhu didn't even think about him, as if he didn't have this father.

Walking on the streets of Baoding, He Daqing's heart was not here.

He is almost eighty years old, how could he not want to go back to BJ? He can't really die in Baoding!

To be honest, he felt extremely regretful. When He Yushui came to find him, he should have followed her back. It was a good opportunity to go back and teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson.

I regret it.

Suddenly, an old lady cried out in front: "You can't just ignore me. I'm so old. If you don't take care of me, I'll die."

"Mom, what are you talking about? When did we stop caring about you?"

"That's right. We've prepared food for you at home. What else do you want?"

He Daqing didn't want to get involved at first. A man of his age wouldn't be in the mood to meddle in other people's business.

However, the voices of the three people were particularly familiar, as if they were people he knew.

Looking through the gap between the people, a familiar face appeared there. Although he was twenty years older, He Daqing would never forget the way he saw her throwing tantrums.

"White Widow!"

Since they were acquaintances, He Daqing would naturally not leave. Although the incident back then was a plot by the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, without the White Widow, their plan would have no chance of success.

Seeing how slovenly the White Widow looked now, he knew that the two ungrateful men of the White Widow had not treated her well.

He felt somewhat fortunate in his heart. If He Yushui had not come to him and let him see the true face of the White Widow, his fate would probably be even worse than that of the White Widow.

The people watching the fun nearby were very familiar with the situation of the White Widow's family, and no one was reckless enough to stand up.

In the end, it was the nearby police officers who stepped forward to disperse the crowd and gave the White Widow's son a lecture, which put an end to the farce.

The police had no way to solve the problem of unfilial children, they could only persuade them. But no matter how many times they persuaded, the white widow's son would promise to do something, but then turn around and throw those words into the stinking ditch.

He Daqing also wanted to leave with the crowd, but unfortunately, he was seen by the White Widow.

"Lao He, is that you? You came to see me."

He Daqing stopped and said disdainfully, "Yes, I came to see you. If I hadn't come, how would I know that you were kicked out by your son. This is really retribution. Back then, you screwed me so badly for these two bastards.

Now you are kicked out. You deserve it."

Widow Bai didn't care about what He Daqing said. She got up and ran to He Daqing, hugging him: "Old He, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I shouldn't have treated you like that."

He Daqing pushed her away in disgust: "Go find whoever you should go find. If all else fails, go to BJ to find Yi Zhonghai."

Widow Bai finally found a life-saving straw, so how could she give up easily? She knew her son would not change his mind, so she set her sights on He Daqing.

After that, he went to He Daqing's house to harass him for several days in a row.

He Daqing was so harassed that he had no choice but to be scolded by Widow Li when he returned home at night.

"Stop cursing, let's go to BJ. I can't afford to offend, but can I avoid him? It's a good opportunity to go to BJ and settle old scores." (End of this chapter)
