Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Yuzhu was not afraid of He Daqing. He went into the house as soon as he was told to and followed closely behind He Daqing.

He Daqing closed the door, pulled the stool over and sat down.

"Zhu Zi, I am divorced from the White Widow and will come back to take care of you and Yu Shui."

As soon as these words came out, He Yuzhu obviously didn't believe them.

"Who are you kidding? Are you willing to leave that widow? You followed her like you were drinking honey, how can you come back now?"

He Yuzhu frowned, "Yushui was only five years old at that time, and you didn't feel sad at all when you left. Now that you've grown up, you say you feel sad again?"

He Daqing understood that He Yuzhu had resentment in his heart, but the person who did the stupid thing at that time was not him, but his original self.

However, he couldn't say these things. He could only try his best to whitewash the original body and divert the conflict.

"Zhu Zi, you blame me, and I admit it. But I only recently realized that I was tricked."

He Daqing sighed and He Yuzhu snorted.

However, He Yuzhu's expression seemed to have softened a lot, probably because he heard it.

He Daqing continued, "I was tricked by Yi Zhonghai and the White Widow. They deliberately set me up. I got drunk and the White Widow said I bullied her."

"If I didn't marry her and go with her, she would sue me."

"I had no evidence to prove my innocence at the time, and I was scared. I was also worried about bringing trouble to your and Yu Shui's reputation, so I just accepted it with a pinch of my nose."

"But I didn't ignore you two. After I left, the house wasn't transferred. I just wanted to keep the house so that I could guarantee it to you and Yu Shui."

"Although my monthly salary is taken away by the White Widow under threat, I secretly take private jobs for you and Yu Shui, and I can earn two or three dollars a month."

"I thought that two or three dollars would be a subsidy for you and Yu Shui. Adding your own salary, it should be enough for you two brothers and sisters to eat and drink."

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Sha Zhu became anxious.

"What do you mean two or three dollars? I've never seen a dime. When Yu Shui was little, she missed you, so I had to lie to her and tell her that you were out working, and I even wrote to her in your tone."

Sha Zhu was furious, and suddenly thought of what He Daqing said about Yi Zhonghai cheating him. Sha Zhu continued: "Yu Shui and I are still alive today, thanks to the old man, how can you throw dirty water on him!"

Sha Zhu was obviously brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai, and was only thinking about Yi Zhonghai's integrity and kindness.

He Daqing was mentally prepared and he explained patiently.

"Zhu Zi, seeing how you are now, if I haven't come back yet, Yi Zhonghai will have completely succeeded."

"What do you mean?"

Because of their blood relationship, although Sha Zhu still felt some resentment towards He Daqing, he was still willing to calm down and listen to his explanation.

He Daqing sighed and stared at Sha Zhu seriously.

"Yi Zhonghai got me away because of you. He wanted you to take care of him in his old age, so he often tried to sow discord between us."

"Zhu Zi, I really sent you money. At that time, I didn't know that Yi Zhonghai was plotting against me. I always sent the money to him and asked him to pass it on to you two."

"I didn't give it to you directly at the beginning. Alas, it was because I, your father, was too embarrassed to contact you directly. I was afraid that if I contacted you directly, you would go and cause trouble on impulse, and then be sued by the White Widow and put in jail."

Sha Zhu was extremely shocked, but he still didn't completely believe in the Qing Dynasty.

He was silent for a long time, as if he was pondering the possibilities.

He Daqing saw through Sha Zhu's thoughts at a glance, and he continued, "You may still not believe in his character. You may think that although he has no son, he has an apprentice."

"But think about it again, can he really count on his apprentice? Jia Dongxu's family has many mouths to feed."

"He really hopes that Jia Dongxu will take care of him in his old age. Shouldn't he be more friendly now? How should he be friendly? He still has to give away real things."

"No one's money comes from the wind. Yi Zhonghai can afford to give him a meal or two, so can he be willing to provide for him forever?"

"You are different. You have severed your relationship with me, and Yu Shui is just a girl. You obviously have enough money to spend. Yi Zhonghai doesn't have to support you all the time, and he even gives you some appropriate care. You think he is better than your father."

These words touched Sha Zhu's heart; he really thought so.

Recalling his previous interactions with Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu increasingly felt that what He Daqing said was true.

He didn't want to accept this fact, but it was obviously true.

Sha Zhu clenched his fists in annoyance and stood up suddenly.

"I'm going to find him and ask him why he did this!"

He Daqing knew that he would act impulsively, so he grabbed Sha Zhu.

"Wait, we don't have any evidence when we go to him, what's the point of asking him with empty words?"

"You can't just get mad at me for nothing and be made a fool of yourself."

Sha Zhu was furious. He could tolerate others deceiving him, but he could not tolerate Yi Zhonghai deceiving him.

He had been grateful to Yi Zhonghai from the bottom of his heart, but he never thought that the truth would be like this.

"You have to pay for the money you gave me."

During these six years, even if it was two dollars a month, twenty-four dollars a year, it would be more than a hundred dollars in six years.

Yi Zhonghai had helped him and Yu Shui before, but he had never paid any real money.

He Daqing did not deny this, "The money must be returned, but not now."

Sha Zhu was stunned, "When then?"

"When I sent the money, I kept the remittance slip. Yi Zhonghai can't deny this. He ruined my reputation in the first place, and I want to pay him back."

He Daqing said in a cold voice that the person he least wanted to let go of when he came back this time was Yi Zhonghai.

He wants to bring disgrace to Yi Zhonghai.

The Siheyuan still needs a manager at least for the next few years. In this case, Yi Zhonghai can forget about being the manager and it will be He Daqing who will take over.

Sha Zhu was a little dazed. He felt that the father in front of him seemed to be a different person.

The original He Daqing had never had such a confident look, but the aura emanating from the father in front of him was completely unpredictable.

Furthermore, Sha Zhu thought that there was no one in the entire courtyard who was stronger or better at fighting than him.

But when He Daqing grabbed his wrist just now, he couldn't move at all.

"Zhu Zi, listen to me. Go to work first. I will tell you my plan after get off work."

"I have to go to the market too. Your uncle will come over for lunch at noon."

"By the way, don't bring food home from the cafeteria starting today. We are not so poor that we can't afford to eat."

He Daqing warned Sha Zhu that this was a critical period and he must not let anyone catch him in any way.

Sha Zhu was completely confused. It was an open secret that people could take food home from the cafeteria, and no one bothered him.

Why did his father want to remove this benefit as soon as he came back? Isn't this stupid?

"Okay, just do as I say, and you'll know later."

He Daqing patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and prepared to go out. He opened the door and turned back to say, "Your room smells too bad. Take the quilt out to dry it before going to work. Remember to lock the door."
