Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 59 Conversation
With the help of the spiritual spring water, Sha Zhu's physical condition has been greatly enhanced, and his hearing has become particularly sensitive. He can distinguish the people in the courtyard by their voices.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he slowly sat up from the bed.

When He Daqing saw Sha Zhu getting up, he was stunned and the things in his hands fell to the ground. After a while, he spoke: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Sha Zhu slowly got off the bed so as not to disturb He Yushui, and walked over to He Daqing before whispering, "Of course, it's to talk to you?"

He Daqing was startled, and pretended to be calm and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Let's talk about the White Widow."

As soon as the words "White Widow" came out, He Daqing's face suddenly turned ugly: "What White Widow? I don't know what you are talking about?"

Sha Zhu said coldly: "Don't hide it. I know everything. The White Widow wants you to abandon us, right?

You may not know that there is a crime of abandonment in the laws of New China. If someone abandons a child, he or she will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison if caught.

Of course, there was no crime of abandonment at this time. Sha Zhu was just trying to scare He Daqing. Anyway, He Daqing would not know and he did not dare to ask anyone.

He Daqing was a little frightened, and his words were a little unclear: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I abandon you and your sister?"

Sha Zhu exposed him directly: "Then why are you packing your things in the middle of the night? Aren't you going to Baoding? If you dare to leave with Bai Guafu and go to Baoding, don't blame me for reporting you to the Military Control Commission."

Seeing that Sha Zhu could even tell Baoding, He Daqing knew that he could not hide it, and then said distressedly: "You don't understand, I have to leave, and I leave for your own good."

But Sha Zhu didn't let him go: "What do you mean it's for my own good? If you leave, how can we brothers and sisters survive?"

He Daqing said, "You have a job, and it won't be a problem if you follow your master. There's also Lao Yi over there in Yushui."

"There's also the matter of that bastard Yi Zhonghai involved." Sha Zhu pretended not to know: "Tell me, what's going on?"

He Daqing didn't want to say it, but he couldn't convince Sha Zhu, so he had to pick out some unimportant things and tell them.

How could Sha Zhu be satisfied and kept asking.

Finally, He Daqing had no choice but to tell the whole story.

He quickly found the things about Yao Wang and Yao Liye in his memory. These two people didn't have a deep relationship with Sha Zhu. The only difference was that others called him Sha Zhu, but they called him Master He.

No wonder these two are different from others, they are the ones behind everything.

Sha Zhu asked: "I don't believe you are going to abandon us for a woman. Is there something else?"

Seeing that everything had been said, and wanting Sha Zhu to have a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing told him everything Yi Zhonghai had done.

Only at this point did Sha Zhu understand the whole truth about He Daqing's departure.

After He Daqing finished speaking, he praised Sha Zhu, "Old Yi does have a lot of problems, but he's still a good person. I've already discussed it with him. After I leave, he will take care of you and your sister."

Sha Zhu curled his lips in disdain. If they count on Yi Zhonghai to take care of the He family, they will just have to wait for the extinction of the whole family! However, those things will only happen in the future. If they are told now, no one will believe it.

"Have you ever used your brain to think about how this could be such a coincidence?"

He Daqing was stunned and asked, "What's so coincidental?"

Sha Zhu explained: "You know who Yi Zhonghai is better than me. I have never heard of how good his relationship with Yao Wang is. I have never seen the Yao family visit him during the holidays. Why would he help the Yao family introduce a master?" "Maybe old Yi has come to terms with it. Didn't he accept Jia Dongxu as his apprentice?" He Daqing was stunned by the question and reluctantly found an excuse.

Sha Zhu had no other choice but to ignore the question: "What about you and the White Widow? You said you were both drunk. Okay, I'll assume you were both drunk. Let's not talk about whether you could do that thing with the White Widow when you were drunk. I just want to ask, how did you and the White Widow get to the other room?"

He Daqing frowned at first: "You are just a kid, what do you know?"

Sha Zhu said, "What don't I understand? Every few days, there would be a sound of "Auntie" yelling from Yi Zhonghai's house. It can't be that Yi Zhonghai is beating his wife at home!"

He Daqing blushed, cursing Yi Zhonghai in his heart for being shameless. He was too embarrassed to talk about this with Sha Zhu, so he could only think about the question Sha Zhu raised.

He was not stupid, and he understood it immediately. With so many people drinking together, it couldn't be a coincidence that only he and the White Widow went to the next room together.

"what do you mean?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "What's not to be confused about? They must have teamed up to plot against you."

"But why?" He Daqing couldn't figure it out.

"I'm looking for your help. What's so unclear about this?"

"What about Lao Yi? Why did he frame me?"

Sha Zhu thought, you are not qualified to make Yi Zhonghai pay so much attention to you. Again, the real reason has not happened yet, so there is no way to tell.

"Because he thinks you're in the way. Otherwise, why would Yi Zhonghai go to so much trouble to get you to leave?"

"How am I in the way?" He Daqing complained.

Sha Zhu chuckled, "That's a lot. You're a waiter cook, but you occupy the best room in the yard, does that count? He's a master chef in a steel factory and doesn't have a son, but you have both a son and a daughter, does that count? You usually bring lunch boxes home, but don't even remember to deliver them to his house, does that count? You don't follow his instructions to honor the old lady in the backyard, does that count?

If you want to hear it, I can tell you a few more.”

He Daqing sat aside in pain, unwilling to listen to these reasons. Although these reasons existed, they were just small conflicts between neighbors. It was not worth it to plot against him for such a small matter.

Sha Zhu continued, "Also, he was the one who scared you about the report."

He Daqing raised his head and asked, "Is this also fake? But I did cook for the Japanese devils, didn't I?"

"Many people have cooked for the Japanese, how can everyone be guilty? To be honest, Yi Zhonghai's crime is much greater than yours. You at most made sure the Japanese were well fed, but he made steel for them, and that steel was eventually used to bully the Chinese.

There is also the issue of our family background. What's wrong with Tan's cuisine? You are just a cook, serving people, you have no house or land, you are not a hired farmer, but you are also a poor person. The biggest problem is that we didn't figure it out during the initial investigation. Just go to the Military Control Commission to explain the situation and accept the criticism.

You are neither a party member nor a cadre. Why would the Military Control Commission hold you captive?
If someone really wants to report you, it will be Yi Zhonghai who will report you. Unless they find other evidence against you."

He Daqing was a little uncertain now. Back then, under the hands of the Japanese, if he didn't obey, he would die. Although he didn't become a traitor, he did a lot of things to please the Japanese in order to survive.

"So many things happened during those years that I can't remember clearly. Why did Lao Yi treat me like this?"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I think it has something to do with the old lady in the backyard. Do you know where that old lady came from?"

He Daqing shook his head: "I'm not sure. Anyway, she was already living in the courtyard when we came here. You know, we didn't live here before. It was only after the People's Liberation Army entered the city and those bastards fled that we were able to live in such a nice courtyard."
