Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

He Yuzhu looked at the few pitiful bills in his father's hand, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

He Yuzhu came all the way from the old city, but he didn't expect his father to be so indifferent. He wanted to send him away with just a little money. It was too perfunctory.

This incident also shows that the family's financial power is in the hands of Widow Bai, and He Daqing does not have much spare money.

When you are in a foreign country, money is the foundation of your life.

If any accident happened, He Daqing, who was short of money, would not even be able to resist.

"Dad, how could you give the money to that woman?

If...if...oh..."

He Yuzhu was so angry that he didn't know how to teach He Daqing a lesson for a moment.

"She is my wife, so what if I give her my salary?

Didn't you also give your salary to Qin Huairu to manage?"

He Daqing said indifferently.

According to the tradition of this era, men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. Men earn money to support the family, and their wages are given to their wives to manage.

"Can that be the same?"

Seeing that his father didn't take it seriously, He Yuzhu spread his hands anxiously and explained: "Qin Huairu and I are real husband and wife, and we have children. Do you have children with the Bai widow? The two little bastards of the Bai family are not yours!

They don't even consider you as their father, why don't you understand?"

In the past, He Daqing was known for his intelligence and ability when he was in Beijing. However, ever since he followed the White Widow, he seemed to have lost his brain and always did some stupid things.

He Yuzhu felt like he didn't recognize his father anymore.

"Nonsense! How can you, as an elder brother, speak ill of your younger brother like this?

They value friendship and loyalty, and they don't call me dad because they miss my biological father.

If you lose your principles just because I do you a favor, you're a piece of shit.

But it doesn’t matter. After a few years, they will definitely call me dad with conviction.

Don't worry about this matter.

Also, that’s your Aunt Bai, not the White Widow, and I’m still alive and well.”

Not only did He Daqing not listen, he also scolded He Yuzhu again.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu became more and more disappointed and kept backing away.

It seems that He Daqing has been completely bewildered and it is difficult to turn back.

The distraught He Yuzhu did not take the money handed over by his father. He turned around and lowered his head, like a soulless puppet, and walked towards the station step by step.

His father was so sad that He Yuzhu didn't want to stay in Baocheng any longer.

The bus service stopped after nightfall, and He Yuzhu, who missed the bus, had to find a guesthouse nearby to stay for the night.

Lying on the simple bed in the guesthouse, looking at the mottled ceiling, He Yuzhu blinked, tears flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the bed.

Just as he sighed and was about to close his eyes and force himself to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.

He Yuzhu thought that his father had changed his mind, so he sat up suddenly and hurried out to greet him.

However, when he opened the door, he saw that it was a waiter from the guesthouse who came to verify his identity documents.

Dejected He Yuzhu suppressed his emotions and completed the work, then closed the door and threw himself back onto the bed.

After this incident, He Yuzhu no longer felt sleepy and lay in bed with his eyes open until dawn, but in the end he still did not see He Daqing.

At dawn the next day, He Yuzhu took the earliest bus and returned directly to Sijiu City.

……

Dragging his tired body back home, He Yuzhu was immediately greeted by his wife and sister as soon as he entered the door.

"Zhu Zi, what's going on?

Have you seen Dad?"

"Brother, how is Dad doing? When will he be back?"

Facing He Yushui who was looking forward to it, He Yuzhu took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and then said, "Dad is living well in Baocheng, but he is busy with work and has no time to come back. He also gave me some money and asked me to buy more snacks for you."

He Yuzhu didn't want his sister to be sad, so he could only make up some lies to cover it up.

"Really?"

When He Yushui heard that there would be snacks, his eyes lit up, but then quickly dimmed.

"Is Dad really so busy at work that he doesn't even have time to come home?

He has been away for several years and has never come back to see me.

Brother, why don't you take me to see him next time."

He Yushui's idea was very simple. Since her father was too busy to come back, she would go to Baocheng to visit him. There would always be a way to reunite the family.

"Dad is really busy, so don't cause him any trouble.

When you get into college and become successful, I will take you to see him."

According to He Daqing's attitude, the rain would do no good except break the defense and cause injuries.

Thinking of the two little bastards from the Bai family, He Yuzhu didn't want the rain to pass, lest he suffer any grievances.

"Ah? Got into college?

How long will it take to wait? "

He Yushui scratched his little head, looking worried.

“It’s so difficult to get into university, what if I fail?

How about I go there after I pass the high school entrance exam?"

He Yuzhu waved his hands and refused sternly, "No, it's not enough to just get into middle school. You have to get into college to make Dad happy. In fact, getting into college is not that difficult. As long as you study hard, you will definitely get in."

When the time comes, when your dad sees how successful you are, he might be so happy that he will go straight back to Beijing.

Isn’t that better?”

He Yuzhu continued to fool his sister, while Qin Huairu, who was silent on the side, sensed something was wrong.

"Ok."

He Yushui sighed and could only agree.

"It's getting late and you have classes tomorrow. Yushui, you should go back to sleep first."

Qin Huairu sent He Yushui away, turned around and asked her husband seriously, "Zhu Zi, what happened?"

"Hi~"

He Yuzhu was depressed and had no place to vent. He sighed and told his whole experience in a low voice.

Qin Huairu also looked unhappy as she listened to her husband's story.

"I didn't expect Dad would be like this. It's really too much."

He Daqing hasn't come back to see his children in the past few years. Qin Huairu already had a bad impression of him, and now her impression of him is even worse.

Normal people know that there are differences between relatives and strangers. No one would favor a stepson and squeeze out his own son.

When He Daqing gets old and can no longer work, he still has to rely on He Yuzhu and his siblings to take care of him in his old age.

The two guys from the Bai family don’t have the surname He, so it would be strange if they could help.

"Hey, who says it isn't?

But what can I do as a son?

Forget it, let’s not talk about him.

Don't tell Yushui about these things.

Let's put it off for a few years, she will understand it herself later."

He Daqing's behavior was outrageous, but due to the deep-rooted ethical ideas over the past thousand years, He Yuzhu could not refute him no matter how excessive he went, and could only endure it.

Seeing her husband's dejected look, Qin Huairu also felt sad. She stepped forward, hugged He Yuzhu and comforted him, "Zhuzi, it's okay. If Dad doesn't want to come back, then don't come back.

Our family can still live a good life in Beijing."

Qin Huairu's belly was visibly pregnant, and when she leaned over, He Yuzhu could clearly feel the changes in his wife's body shape.

Thinking of the baby who was about to be born, He Yuzhu felt somewhat relieved.

"You're right, after a while, I'll be a father too.

I just don’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl yet, so I need to prepare two names first to avoid panic later.”
