Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Facing his son who suddenly came to visit, He Daqing seemed a little at a loss. He put down his raised hand awkwardly and stammered, "Zhu Zi, you... why are you here?"

"You haven't been back to Sijiu City for so many years. Yu Shui and I are very worried about you, so we came to see you."

There was both resentment and relief in He Yuzhu's voice.

He Daqing's appearance hasn't changed much after not seeing him for a few years. It seems that he is living a good life and has not suffered any injustice from the White Widow's family.

He Yuzhu felt better now.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."

He Daqing originally wanted to ask about the situation of He Yuzhu's brother and sister, but before he could open his mouth, a sudden shouting interrupted the atmosphere of reminiscing.

"Okay, He Daqing, so he is your son!

Tell him to let me go, or I'll go back and tell mom that you bullied us!"

He Daqing's face suddenly changed when he heard the voice, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he hurriedly said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, let them go quickly, they are your brothers."

He Yuzhu still remembered the evil deeds of the two brats, and hesitated for a moment before slowly letting go.

"I only have one sister, Yu Shui, and I don't remember having any brothers."

"Humph, my mother only gave birth to two, and we don't even remember having any older brothers."

The two boys from the Bai family who escaped glared at He Yuzhu fiercely and did not forget to retort.

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, He Daqing hurriedly spoke to mediate.

"Zhu Zi, these are your Aunt Bai's sons, the older one is Bai Yong and the younger one is Bai Zhi.

They are all your younger brothers, and they are quite naughty, so you should not bother with them."

"Bai Yong, Bai Zhi, he is my son He Yuzhu, and also your eldest brother."

He Yuzhu said nothing more for the sake of his father.

Bai Yong and Bai Zhi did not give him any face at all. They bared their teeth at He Daqing and shouted, "You are just pretending to be a good person! Just wait!"

After saying that, the two brats ran straight into the yard, shouting bad things about He Daqing as they ran.

"Dad, look at what they are like.

I just asked them for directions, and they took my candy and made fun of me. This is really too much!"

He Yuzhu became angrier the more he thought about it, and he pretended to break into the yard.

"No, I must teach them a lesson today!"

"Pillar!"

He Daqing stepped forward and stood in front of He Yuzhu, and said solemnly: "They are just fooling around for a while. As an adult, why do you care about them?"

He Yuzhu looked at his father in disbelief and felt very disappointed.

How could the father be so partial? Is he, his own son, not as good as his two step-sons?

"Dad, so they are your sons, and I am not?"

He Yuzhu sighed with a feeling of resentment.

"nonsense!"

He Daqing scolded him harshly: "When did I say you are not my son? You are so grown up, stop messing around."

“Who’s messing around?

He gave up his good life, abandoned his own children and ran to Baocheng to help a widow raise her children.

This is unreasonable!

It would be fine if they were good and filial children.

Look at what kind of people they are?

When you are old, will they be able to take good care of you?!"

He Yuzhu stomped his feet, furious, but when he saw his father's helpless look, his tone quickly softened.

"Dad, come back.

Huairu is pregnant, and you will be a grandfather in a few months.

Isn't it nice for our family to be together?"

He Yuzhu hopes that his father can change his mind and make the broken family whole again.

He Daqing looked at his son with an earnest face, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and he fell into hesitation.

It's not that he has no feelings for He Yuzhu and his sister, he just can't give up the gentle arms of the White Widow.

In the past few years, the two boys from the Bai family have been disrespectful to him, but Widow Bai has served him very attentively, which makes He Daqing very happy.

It would be nice if both sides could be taken care of.

He Daqing was thinking when a soft female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Daqing, what is this?"

He Daqing and his son looked in the direction of the sound and saw a graceful and charming woman slowly walking out of the yard.

"Sister Bai, this is my son He Yuzhu, he came from Sijiu City to see me."

He Daqing came back to his senses and introduced himself to Widow Bai with a smile.

As soon as He Daqing heard the voice of the White Widow, his body softened and his thoughts of returning to the city disappeared immediately.

It’s better to stay in Baocheng. As long as I can be happy with the White Widow, nothing else matters.

"Zhu Zi, this is your Aunt Bai, why don't you say hello?"

He Yuzhu stared, the more he looked, the more he felt that the woman in front of him was a vixen, a bad woman.

"I don't know any Aunt Bai."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly, his eyes full of vigilance.

“We didn’t know each other before, but we know each other today.

I often hear Brother Daqing say that you are an excellent cook and have inherited his true skills. You set up your own business early on and are now doing very well in this city.

How come you have time to come to Baocheng today?"

Widow Bai seemed unaware of He Yuzhu's hostility and started by praising him.

In the past, He Yuzhu, who was very concerned about his reputation, would have been fooled.

"My dad is here. As a son, can't I come over and see him?"

He Yuzhu immediately saw through Bai Guafu's thoughts.

The reason I say so much nonsense is that I am worried that He Yuzhu will drag He Daqing back to Sijiu City, and then the Bai family will have no gang to support him.

“Of course, you’re welcome anytime.

Dinner is being prepared in the room, so I won't disturb you and your son from reminiscing about the past.

Brother Daqing, remember to come back early."

Widow Bai just gave He Daqing a charming smile, said nothing more, and walked into the yard with her waist swaying.

He Daqing stared at the back of the White Widow so infatuatedly that he even ignored his son who was right in front of him.

"dad……"

He Yuzhu's call brought He Daqing back to his senses.

“Yushui has missed you a lot over the years.

Just come back to Sijiu City with me."

He Daqing was so bewitched by the White Widow that he was at a loss as to what to do.

In front of the White Widow, He Yuzhu couldn't persuade her no matter what.

The only way to make He Daqing regain his sanity is to find a way to get him back to Sijiu City.

"How have you been these years?"

He Daqing did not agree, but instead asked about the situation of He Yuzhu and his sister.

Receiving the long-awaited greeting, He Yuzhu felt a little warmer in the heart and a smile appeared on his face again.

“It’s been pretty good.

Let me tell you something. I have passed the application and will be the director of the canteen at the steel mill in a few days. "

He Yuzhu held his head high and chest puffed out, like a kid in elementary school who had won a certificate of honor, waiting for praise from his parents.

"Okay."

He Daqing patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said with a smile: "This makes me feel relieved. Since you are living well in Sijiu City, I will not go back."

"what?!"

He Yuzhu was struck by lightning, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Dad, why are you like this?"

"I'm busy with work and can't leave."

He Daqing touched his pocket and took out a few bills. He said awkwardly, "It's almost the end of the month and I haven't received my salary yet. These are all I have left. You can use them to buy some snacks for Yu Shui."
