Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

He Daqing and the widow got involved with Yi Zhonghai and Men Qing'er, and Yi Zhonghai even secretly followed them to see where they rented a house.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was lying in bed, feeling very conflicted. He wanted to report He Daqing for having illicit relationships with women.

Firstly, it would ruin He Daqing's reputation, and secondly, it would vent my anger.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I still felt it wasn't enough to vent my anger.

Widows and widowers are a perfect match; one has lost her husband, and the other has lost her wife.

Even if they report He Daqing, they won't lose anything.

What if it's consensual?

He Daqing would probably be furious if he married the widow Bai into the family.

Is Yi Zhonghai also eyeing the figure of the White Widow? Could it be that he's been eavesdropping on the neighbors all day?

Yi Zhonghai felt he needed to take action.

So the next day at work, I casually mentioned the story of the widow and the widower to the white widow's cousin.

When her cousin heard this, he also felt that his cousin was being taken advantage of.

He knew that He Daqing and his cousin were having an affair, but he kept his mouth shut and never let it slip.

Anxious, he went to see Widow Bai during his work hours and told her to think it over. He couldn't keep letting that bastard He Daqing take advantage of him.

We are indeed surnamed Bai, but we can't sleep with you for free.

The white widow said helplessly:

"Third Brother, what should I do? He Daqing has two children. How can he come with me to Baoding?"

Bai Guimeng took a deep drag of his cigarette and said fiercely:

"I've thought of two ideas, would you like to hear them first?"

Upon hearing this, the white widow's eyes lit up:

"Third Brother, tell me quickly."

"First, make it clear to He Daqing that if he doesn't go to Baoding with you, he can forget about sleeping with you. He'll be staying at my house for the next few days, so don't give He Daqing a friendly look."

"Don't pay attention to him if he tries to contact you, unless he's willing to go with you."

"Second, tell He Daqing directly that if he doesn't go to Baoding with you, you'll accuse him of rape. I don't believe he won't be afraid."

The white widow was shocked by what she heard and it took her a long time to calm down.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Then let's do it this way, I'll use both methods!"

Bai Gui was surprised by his cousin's ruthlessness, but thinking about it, it made sense; it was better to let others suffer than to suffer himself.

Humans are selfish...

That evening, Widow Bai gave He Daqing an ultimatum, then packed her things and went to Bai Gui's house.

He Daqing was very depressed and slowly made his way home under the cover of night.

Little did he know that someone at home was also waiting for him.

After getting off work in the evening, Sha Zhu went to the backyard, where the deaf old lady reminded him.

You said your dad hasn't been back for a while, and you don't know what's missing from the house?

Sha Zhu didn't think much of it at the time, but after returning home and looking around the house, he found that his father's things were indeed much less.

So I went to the front yard to find my senior brother and discuss what to do.

Li Jiuzhou knew how the plot was going to unfold; He Daqing would definitely leave, but whether he was being schemed against or simply bewitched was uncertain.

After discussing it, the two decided to stay at the He family's house. If He Daqing returned, they could talk directly and get things over with.

Around 9 p.m., the door opened. Li Jiuzhou and Shazhu were still awake, so they quickly got up.

He Daqing looked at the two men approaching with some confusion:

"You two are staying up so late, you're going to scare people to death!"

There was no surprise at all that his nephew was sleeping at his house; his silly son was determined to follow him.

Sometimes, what his junior apprentice says is more effective than what his father says.

However, He Daqing did not object. His nephew was more promising than himself, and his son would not fare badly if he followed him.

"Dad, come sit down, let's talk..."

Sha Zhu had already prepared some wine and snacks, just waiting for He Daqing to return.

He Daqing was slightly taken aback, sensing something was amiss, but he did not refuse.

This was the first time his son had formally spoken to him, and he had to agree.

"Hehe, okay..."

After they sat down, Sha Zhu poured wine for him and his senior brother.

"Father, Senior Brother, let's drink first as a sign of respect!"

"hehe..."

He Daqing smiled after finishing his drink:

"Come on, guys, show us what you've got."

Sha Zhu took a deep breath and said:

"Father, I want to ask where you've been lately?"

"Even your bedding has disappeared. Do you have a new home outside?"

"Does this mean you don't want me or the rain anymore?"

Sha Zhu's three questions made He Daqing's scalp tingle.

The key issues also went straight to the heart of the matter.

He felt a little guilty and didn't answer immediately.

He Daqing's appearance was seen as guilty by Sha Zhu and Li Jiuzhou.

Sha Zhu was about to explode in anger, but Li Jiuzhou stopped him with a look.

Li Jiuzhou took out cigarettes and offered them to the two of them.

After lighting it, he said slowly:

"Zhu Zi, don't be anxious. I think your uncle has something he can't say about."

"Why don't you tell us, Uncle-Master?"

"One is your own son, and I am your apprentice-nephew. There's nothing that's hard to say."

"If there are any problems you can't solve, we can give you some advice."

After hearing this, He Daqing drank two cups of wine and then poured out his story about him and the widow Bai.

Li Jiuzhou listened very attentively, but he couldn't discern any significant scheming in He Daqing's words.

If there's any scheming involved, it's simply to get He Daqing to abandon his own children and go to Baoding to seek help.

From a human nature perspective, what the White Widow did was immoral.

However, from the perspective of the White Widow, she also had her difficulties. She had two young children at home who were crying for food. How could she, a woman, support them?

Without using some tricks, it's not certain that I could raise both sons.

Sha Zhu wasn't angry after hearing this, because He Daqing hadn't left yet.

"Dad, I have no objection to you finding me another wife, but this widow Bai has a family to support. Aren't you afraid of working yourself to death?"

"Or do you prefer someone like the White Widow?"

He Daqing blushed as he listened to his son's words:

"Your Aunt Bai is a very considerate person, and I'm satisfied with her."

"It's no big deal that your father married a widow, and it's no big deal for a widower like me to get a wife."

"But here's the problem: marrying her means bringing three children into our household."

"How will this house be divided then? Zhu Zi, are you willing to give it to Aunt Bai's son?"

Sha Zhu waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this:

"Don't even think about it. This house is only for me and the rain."

"Father, if you really like Widow Bai, why don't you go to Baoding with her? I think it's a good idea..."

"Um?"

Li Jiuzhou and He Daqing were both shocked.

What are you up to?

Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed by their stares and touched his nose, saying:

"Father, my senior brother was only 15 years old two years ago when he took charge of the family."

"I think I can manage without you."

That's right, Sha Zhu was just envious of his senior brother's life. How carefree he was, with no one above him to control him, and he could do whatever he wanted.

As for myself, I still have my father above me, and I occasionally get beaten and scolded.

Which good men are often scolded and punished?

Anyway, I can occasionally cook at Fengzeyuan now, and my dad can go wherever he wants...
