Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

By the time he realized it was a trap, it was too late. The White Widow had evidence in her hands and could send him to the authorities at any time. Given the situation at the time, not a single peanut could escape.

So He Daqing had no choice but to agree to go with the White Widow to defend the city, acting like a live-in son-in-law.

After telling Sha Zhu and He Yushui the whole story, He Daqing slowly said, "I originally thought this was a trap set by the White Widow to force me to surrender, but now it seems that there might be something else going on with Yi Zhonghai."

"Yi Zhonghai has his problems everywhere, just like a damn dog-skin plaster."

Sha Zhu was so angry that his teeth were itching. Now he understood that all the tragedies in their family over the years were caused by Yi Zhonghai. This man had already decided to die!

None of the three spoke, but all six eyes revealed one message, which was to deal with Yi Zhonghai when they returned.

After dinner, Sha Zhu asked He Daqing, "We're going back this afternoon. Do you want to come with us?"

"I'll go back with you and stay for a few days to see my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and visit some old friends."

Sha Zhu frowned, "What do you mean? Are you planning to come back?" After knowing that He Daqing was not going to abandon them, but had reasons to leave, Sha Zhu's resentment towards him was not so great.

Although he still feels resentful now, it is understandable. Anyone who has experienced the same thing as him will feel resentful.

"Dad?" He Yushui's expression also changed, and his joy faded a lot.

He Daqing smiled and patted his daughter's head. "Yushui, the misunderstanding between us has been resolved. You will soon become an adult and it's time to have your own life. The same goes for me. I should have my own life too."

Sha Zhu sneered, "It's just right that you don't go back. When you get old, you'll see if those two bastards from the Bai family will provide for you in your old age."

He Daqing glanced at him and said, "I didn't say I would live with the White Widow in the future."

This made Sha Zhu's eyes widen. Before he could say anything, He Daqing explained, "Originally, I did have the idea of ​​spending my whole life with the White Widow, but now that I know this is all a trap, I no longer have that thought.

But the confession is still in her hands, I have to find a chance to get it out, otherwise it will always be a disaster if I keep it."

"In that case, why don't you come back to Sijiu City with us? How can I stop you from finding a partner after you go back?" Sha Zhu asked doubtfully. It's not only Baocheng that has widows, there are also many widows in Sijiu City.

He Daqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, the problem is that I have found it here."

As the saying goes, what you can’t get is the most delicious. It’s like when you eat instant noodles, you think it’s delicious when you see others eating it, but when you make a bowl and take a bite, it feels just like that.

This was the case with He Daqing. Before he was really together with the White Widow, he was quite happy. But after they were really together, he soon felt bored.

Especially after the past ten years, the White Widow's face has aged and her beauty has faded, and she has long been unable to capture He Daqing's young heart.

And who is He Daqing?

What an old pervert.

The wilted cabbages at home were no longer tasty, so of course he went out to find fresh ones. It was unknown how long the White Widow had been wearing the green hat on her head.

When Sha Zhu heard the news, he was stunned. At this moment, he began to doubt whether he was He Daqing's biological son.

Back then, finding a wife was as easy as moving a mountain for him, but for He Daqing, it was as simple as eating and drinking water.

Chapter 375: He Daqing Returns to the Siheyuan

The three of them walked along the way and discussed the matter.

He Daqing first went back to the Bai family to get some things and to deal with Widow Bai. He couldn't break up with her right now. He would talk about it after he came back.

Sha Zhu and He Yushui were waiting outside. They were not afraid of what the two sons of the White Widow might do. They were still begging He Daqing for help.

As for how He Daqing would make excuses, that was his business. Sha Zhu didn't care. If He Daqing couldn't even deal with the White Widow, then forget about going back to deal with Yi Zhonghai. He could just go to bed.

Not long after, He Daqing walked out of the yard carrying a bundle.

"Let's go, first go to the street office to get a letter of introduction, then we'll go home."

……

At night, the sky in the old city was completely dark.

Xu Damao pulled Jiang Fan to squat at the entrance of the alley and smoked.

The cold wind blew, and the cigarette burned faster.

"You are sick, and so am I. Following you out to smoke? Is this smoking? This is not pure madness."

Jiang Fan finally understood what it meant to "I smoke on the balcony, I smoke half, I smoke the other half, and then I start to smoke."

Today, Xu Damao took his wife and children to Xu Wude's house to pay New Year's greetings. After having lunch, he ran back, waiting for Sha Zhu to come back to enjoy the show.

After waiting until now, Jiang Fan said that even if Sha Zhu came back today, it would be around seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

This idiot Damao couldn't just drag Jiang Fan here and wait after dinner.

"If you want to eat melons, you must have the mentality and preparation to eat melons. I can already imagine the scene of Sha Zhu beating up Yi Zhonghai. It must be very exciting." Xu Damao grinned wickedly and showed a lewd expression.

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him. "If you want to see this happen, there are prerequisites. Can you guarantee that Sha Zhu will make this matter public? Will this attract the attention of the police?"

"Over a thousand yuan, enough for Yi Zhonghai to eat a volley of bullets. So, if you were Sha Zhu, would you choose to settle the matter privately or publicly?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "If we settle this publicly, Yi Zhonghai will kill me. Although it will be a final solution, I still feel that it is not enough. But if we settle this privately, Yi Zhonghai has no money now."

"Even if I don't have money, I still have a house and a workstation. Adding these together, I guess it won't make much of a difference. After all, Yi Zhonghai is just a sweeper now, and his workstation is not worth much. And if the steel mill knew about this, they would definitely fire Yi Zhonghai."

Generally speaking, factories cannot dismiss workers at will, but Yi Zhonghai was previously punished for Fang Tu's adoption of a child. Now that this matter has come to light, the steel mill will definitely not want him anymore.

Not to mention that he is just a sweeper, even if these two things happened to any ordinary worker in the factory, he would have no chance of staying in the steel mill.

"If that's what you say, then I'd rather settle it privately. If it's public, I'll have to pay a loss. Besides, settling it privately means I have leverage over Yi Zhonghai. Then I can do whatever I want to him and he'll do whatever I ask him to do."

Jiang Fan nodded. He also felt that He Daqing would choose to settle the matter privately, as that was the only way to maximize their benefits.

But after He Daqing did this, the pressure was put on the Jia family.

On the way back to the courtyard from the train station, just as Jiang Fan and Xu Damao had just said, Sha Zhu and He Yushui were considering whether to settle the matter privately or publicly.

He Daqing listed the pros and cons of both options and left it to Sha Zhu and He Yushui to choose.

To be honest, both of them wanted to settle the matter publicly, but that would mean losing a lot of money. However, if they settled it privately, they both felt that it was too easy for Yi Zhonghai.

As they were about to reach the entrance of the alley, He Daqing asked the two if they had made up their minds.

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "I'll go back and discuss this with my wife and see what she says."

"Well, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."

He Daqing was a little surprised. He now had some understanding of his daughter-in-law Yang Shufen, who was a good housekeeper.

It can be said that the He family’s ancestors were really blessed by the fact that Sha Zhu married such a wife.

"Yushui, why do you have to listen to your sister-in-law?"

"Those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. My brother and I are in the middle of this situation, so it's inevitable that we can't see some things clearly. But my sister-in-law is different. She may be able to see things more clearly."

He Yushui replied.

Sha Zhu also said, "Me too."

He Daqing expressed his appreciation for He Yushui's answer, but told Sha Zhu to get out!

As he walked into the gate of the courtyard, He Daqing's eyes flashed with nostalgia. He had not been back for ten years.

"Siheyuan, I, He Daqing, am back again."

"Yi Zhonghai, I will take back everything you owe our family this time."

Without making a sound or disturbing anyone else, the three of them went straight home. Because it was dark and everyone in the yard had gone to bed, no one noticed that He Daqing had returned.

Except for two people who were waiting for them to come back.

"That's He Daqing, right?"

"Yes, there's no doubt about it. I don't think there's another face like this in the city."

Jiang Fan nodded. He Daqing's face was quite recognizable. "Okay, everyone's back. Go home and get some sleep so you can have enough energy for the show tomorrow."

Xu Damao was a little disappointed. "Do you think they will start fighting tonight?"

"Probably not. How about you stay awake tonight and just keep an eye on it. If a fight really breaks out, you can call me later."

"Then forget it."

They rolled their eyes at each other and went home.

When He Daqing returned home, the first thing he did was hug Zhaodi.

"Good granddaughter, grandpa is here, call grandpa quickly."

He Daqing, holding his granddaughter, had a loving look on his face, just like a kind old grandfather, and there was no trace of the temperament of an old gangster at all.

Encouraged by Sha Zhu, Yang Shufen also paid her respects to He Daqing, who was quite satisfied with her.

However, there was no scene where He Daqing said anything while holding his wife's belongings. This was the plot where Sha Zhu's mother left it to pass on to her daughter-in-law.

Yang Ergou also came to pay his respects, but He Daqing's attitude towards him was not very enthusiastic.

"Silly Zhu, now that you're back, tell your wife about that incident. Come back and tell me after you've discussed it."

Now He Daqing is only concerned about He Zhaodi, so he directly handed over the stall to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu did not dare to delay and quickly told the whole story from beginning to end.

"What? That Yi Zhonghai is such a beast in human form, he actually did such a thing. Brother-in-law, what are you waiting for? I'm going to his house with you to fuck him!"

Yang Ergou got angry when he heard this. Well, he thought his family was at the end of the road, but he didn't expect that someone would embezzle such a large sum of money.

More than a thousand yuan! Yang Ergou had never seen so much money in his life.

Over the past decade, he had heard of three incidents involving thousands of yuan. One was the division of property during Yi Zhonghai's divorce, another was the theft of Yi Zhonghai's money, and another was the Jiang family's two and a half months' income, which was close to a thousand yuan.

Chapter 376 Final Choice

"Shufen, our father wants us to choose between a public settlement and a private one. Yushui and I have discussed this, and now I want to ask for your opinion."

Sha Zhu said slowly.

Yang Ergou immediately yelled, "Brother-in-law, what else can we say? Just go beat up Yi Zhonghai first, then report to the police and have him arrested."

The three of them looked at him and said nothing.

Yang Shufen pondered for a moment, looked at Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, and then looked towards the room where He Daqing was staying.

Then he said, "Brother Zhuzi, this is what I think. We should just make it public and report this to the police. My father-in-law has sent us nearly 1,500 yuan over the years. 2,000 yuan is definitely not too much for us to ask Yi Zhonghai for."

"Of course it's not much, even less. When I think of the hardships and sufferings I've endured in the past ten years, I want to beat Yi Zhonghai to death."

He Yushui gritted her teeth and said that she hated Yi Zhonghai the most among all the members of the He family. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai, she wouldn't have been without a father for ten years.

"It's just that his house and workstation can only be sold for a thousand yuan at most. He can't come up with the remaining thousand yuan, and even if he does, it will probably take more than ten years. Zhuzi, Yushui, can you two wait?" Yang Shufen raised her eyebrows and asked the two.

The brother and sister looked at each other and shook their heads.

For various reasons, the relationship between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai is not too deep, far from what is shown in the plot.

Now that this incident has happened again, Sha Zhu feels that two punches from Yi Zhonghai were light, so how could he tolerate Yi Zhonghai jumping around in front of him for ten years.

"Then we have to do it publicly. Report it to the police tomorrow. Although this will reduce the money, it will ruin Yi Zhonghai's reputation. He may even be imprisoned or even executed. This will be the punishment he deserves."

After a pause, Yang Shufen continued, "This way, we can give justice to my father-in-law."

Sha Zhu and He Yushui looked at each other in bewilderment. They hadn't expected this. Because of Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing had been branded an abandoner for ten years without any reason.

If this matter is resolved privately, He Daqing's reputation cannot be cleared openly.

He Daqing, who was in the next room, smiled when he heard Yang Shufen say this. He didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would think of this.

In fact, whether it is proven or not is not important to him. He Daqing has never had a good reputation since he was young.

But if the daughter-in-law is willing, then let them go. In the end, he will have to play, and then we will know what it means that the old ones are the best.

Sha Zhu nodded and decided to go public. However, he planned to have someone report the incident to the police tomorrow morning. He would first give Yi Zhonghai a beating, otherwise he would have a hard time getting over the anger he was feeling.

"Brother-in-law, sister, even if Yi Zhonghai can't come up with 2,000 yuan in compensation, isn't he married to Jia Zhang? It's the son who pays the father's debt, so can't we ask Jia Dongxu for the remaining money?"

Yang Ergou suggested.

"this."

Yang Shufen was speechless for a moment. It was not that she had not thought of this, but she was afraid that even Aunt Wu didn't know that Yi Zhonghai had withheld more than a thousand yuan, not to mention Jia Dongxu and the others, who were probably also unaware of it.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang had only been married for a short time, so it was impossible for them to talk about this matter before they got married.
