Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 106 Shell
"Sister-in-law, please don't bother me. I came here today to ask Brother Weimin for help. I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I really don't know who to ask for help."

He Yushui looked at Jiang Qiuna apologetically, feeling guilty for disturbing them.

"What happened? Did anyone bully you? Just tell me slowly. It's okay."

When Jiang Qiuna saw He Yushui like this, she put the teacup in front of her and comforted her softly.

Zhou Weimin sat opposite the two of them and said softly, "Yushui, did something happen? Tell me what it is first."

"I went to the post office a few days ago to do some work, and I wanted to see if my dad had replied to my letters. But I saw that my dad had been sending money back, and he also sent a lot of letters back. The money and letters were all signed and taken away by an old man, and I didn't know about it before."

He Yushui thought she would be calm when she said this, but when the words came out, she couldn't help crying.

Although Zhou Weimin knew what was going on, he still followed up with a question: "Yushui, you mean that Yi Zhonghai has been intercepting the money and letters your father sent back. Have you asked Shazhu about this? Did Master Yi give him the things?"

After all, this matter was not explained clearly in the drama and was only mentioned in passing. If Yi Zhonghai had talked to He Yuzhu about it before, then things would have to be done differently.

"My brother definitely never received the letter, and he probably never received the money either. When my father first left, we were almost out of food. If Aunt Zhou hadn't seen how hungry I was and given me food from time to time, I would have starved to death. If my brother had received the money my father sent back, our life wouldn't have been so hard."

He Yushui shook her head. These days, she had been thinking about what happened in the yard after her father left.

In addition to wanting to know when Yi Zhonghai started to plot, she also wanted to think about how to help her and Silly Brother get out of their current predicament.

What made her feel creepy was that it seemed that Yi Zhonghai's plan had started since her father passed away, and even the deaf old lady in the backyard was involved in it.

She was so hungry that she went to the deaf old lady to ask for food, but the deaf old lady told her directly that there was none, even though she could clearly smell the aroma of food at that time.

It's understandable not to give it to her. After all, she's just a neighbor and it's not necessary to help her.

But not long after she returned home, an old lady came to deliver food, and this coincidence happened more than once.

At that time, she thought that the uncle and aunt were good people, but now looking back, she realizes that it was all calculation.

The purpose of sending food was to make Silly Brother accept their favor and to bring the two families closer together.

So she was very sure that Silly Brother had never received any money or letters from his father.

"How could this person be so evil? He even took the money your father sent back to keep you and your sister alive. Does he have any conscience at all?"

Before Zhou Weimin could say anything, Jiang Qiuna's eyes turned red with anger, and she felt that He Yushui was even more pitiful.

"Yi Zhonghai is not after that little bit of money. He has never lacked money and has always been frugal with his food and drink. The money Uncle He has sent back over the years is not worth the big risk Yi Zhonghai has to take. His goal is to make Sha Zhu hate Uncle He and completely sever the relationship between them. From this point of view, his goal has been achieved."

Zhou Weimin shook his head and told Yi Zhonghai's purpose. Then he looked at He Yushui and asked softly, "Yushui, do you plan to get the money back, live a good life in the yard, and wait until you get married in the future? Or do you want to use this incident to let Sha Zhu see Yi Zhonghai's true face and make Sha Zhu stop associating with Yi Zhonghai in the future?"

There is a huge difference here. If he just wants to get the money back, he doesn't need to do anything. He can just let He Yushui go find Yi Zhonghai.

I think Yi Zhonghai will definitely give money to He Yushui for his retirement, and he may even give more money as hush money.

But if he wants to get Sha Zhu out of Yi Zhonghai's control, it will be very troublesome. To be honest, Zhou Weimin is unwilling to take action.

The relationship between him and He Yushui was just like that. There was no need to push Yi Zhonghai to death for her. Even a cornered dog would jump over the wall, not to mention Yi Zhonghai.

He Yushui shook his head and said softly but firmly, "Brother Weimin, I want my dad to come back and explain this matter to Yi Zhonghai in person, and also let my dad take good care of my silly brother. But I can't go to Baocheng. Yi Zhonghai will definitely feel something is wrong if I leave, so I want you to help me ask if there is anyone from the procurement department who is going to Baocheng on a business trip."

"There are people going to protect the city, but I don't know if they will pass by Uncle He. Yu Shui, if you ask someone else to do this, it may not be possible to call Uncle He back."

Zhou Weimin thought about it and gave a positive answer. He didn't expect that He Yushui wanted to call He Daqing back. To be honest, he didn't think He Daqing would be called back.

"If my dad doesn't come back, that's my stupid brother's fate. I've already sent a letter to my dad explaining the situation. This time I'll ask someone to go and tell him. If my dad doesn't come back, I'll just accept my fate. Go ask Yi Zhonghai for money and leave a way out for my brother. I'll just wait to find a good family to marry me and never come back to the courtyard again."

He Yushui calmed down at this time, his face was full of helplessness and sadness, but his words were clear and logical.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to accept the fact that her father would most likely not come back.

His father left in a hurry, it didn't seem like he had made a plan, it seemed more like he was fleeing.

Although I don't know what happened at that time, there must be a reason why he had to leave the yard.

"Since you have already made up your mind, I won't say much. I will go to the purchasing department tomorrow to ask who is the person who went to Baocheng recently."

Zhou Weimin nodded. He Yushui had obviously made various plans, so he just needed to help find someone.

No matter how things develop from now on, it has nothing to do with him.

"Thank you, Brother Weimin. You just need to help me find the person. I will talk to him about the matter myself. Thank you, Brother Weimin. If it weren't for you, I would have just accepted my fate."

He Yushui stood up and thanked him solemnly. Brother Wei Min's willingness to help her was giving her one of the few hopes, and also her last hope.

"Don't be so polite, I didn't do anything."

Zhou Weimin waved his hands and wanted to say something to comfort her but didn't say it out loud.

What He Yushui needed at this time was not meaningless comfort. Saying it out loud would only make He Yushui feel worse.

"But this is very important to me, I won't bother you, Brother Weimin and Sister-in-law."

He Yushui bowed, then said goodbye and left.

It was already very bad to come and disturb Brother Wei Min at this time, and it would be too much to stay and disturb the two of them after the matter was settled.

Ever since she found out that Yi Zhonghai had been plotting against her family, He Yushui seemed to have grown up overnight.

Although his temperament seems to have not changed much, he has put on a strong shell.

Yi Zhonghai's experience taught her a lesson: one must rely on oneself, and relying on others will only lead to more losses.
