Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"What's going on?" He Daqing said to himself, feeling angry and heartbroken. He couldn't understand why someone would steal his money, and he was overwhelmed by the indescribable loss and anger.

He Daqing began to become anxious and suspicious of the people around him. He began to reflect on his own behavior and wonder if he had offended anyone, causing them to behave like this towards him.

"Could it be that what happened with Jia Zhang yesterday caused the other party to retaliate?" He Daqing guessed in his heart, but he felt that this possibility was very small. He began to fall into an anxiety and suspicion that he could not extricate himself from.

At the same time, He Daqing also had a little fear in his heart. He was worried that if this matter got out, it would bring him more trouble and distress, and might even affect his life and family.

He Daqing decided to ask He Yuzhu to inquire about the situation from those who might know the situation. He said to his son, "Yuzhu, I will give you a task. Go and find out who knows about the money I lost. But be careful not to let anyone know that we are interested in this matter."

He Yuzhu nodded, looking a little nervous. After all, this was a challenge for a young child. But he also knew how much his father valued this matter, so he was determined to complete the task.

He went out and started asking around on the street. With his wit and flexibility, he quietly asked some familiar people to try to find some clues.

However, he did not make much progress at first. People either did not know about it or kept silent about it, seemingly unwilling to solve the mystery.

He Yuzhu felt a little frustrated, but he did not give up. He knew how much his father valued the money and the importance of this matter. So he decided to keep working hard and keep looking for clues until he found them.

With the continued efforts of He Daqing and He Yuzhu, they finally found the person who stole the money. It was a young boy who did not look like a malicious thief. He hid in the corner, facing the two with a face full of shame.

He Daqing felt a little sorry for the young man. He knew that there were often deeper problems behind theft, perhaps difficulties in life or other reasons. He Daqing softened his heart and did not want to punish the young man too harshly because of a momentary impulse.

"Why did you steal my money?" He Daqing asked in a calm tone, trying to understand the motivation behind the young man's behavior.

The young man raised his head, his eyes full of regret and remorse. "I... I am too poor and have no money to buy food." He whispered, with a hint of tears in his voice.

He Daqing was moved when he heard this. He understood the feeling of poverty and could empathize with it. He secretly decided that he would not only ask the young man to pay back the money, but also give him some help to help him out of his predicament.

"Give me the money first, and then I will help you solve your life difficulties." He Daqing said in a firm tone, his eyes revealing care and understanding for young people.

When the young man heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He immediately took out the money in his pocket and returned it to He Daqing. Then, he looked at He Daqing and He Yuzhu with gratitude, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Although He Daqing had a kind impulse in his heart, he also understood that being soft-hearted might lead to the failure to achieve greater goals. He began to reflect on his decision and felt a little regretful and anxious about his soft-heartedness.

"Should I be more resolute and take more severe measures against this thief?" He Daqing began to ask himself. He felt that his soft-heartedness might cause him to lose some prestige and status in society.

He Yuzhu saw his father thinking and patted him on the shoulder gently. "Dad, you are doing the right thing. This young man may really need help. We can't punish him too harshly because of a momentary impulse."

He Daqing felt a little comforted after hearing his son's words. He knew that his son was also kind and compassionate, and they were on the right path together.

However, despite his hesitation, He Daqing firmly decided to continue to help the young man and give him a chance to start over. He knew that kindness to others would be rewarded no matter what, even if the reward might not be immediately apparent.

Qin Huairu suddenly appeared in front of He Daqing. She said with a face full of grievance: "Brother Daqing, how can you believe what that thief said? He must be lying! I have never stolen your money, you should believe me."

He Daqing looked at Qin Huairu's eyes and felt her sincerity and innocence. He was a little conflicted. On the one hand, he believed the young thief's words, but on the other hand, he also knew that Qin Huairu was a kind and upright person and was unlikely to steal.

"I know you are a good person, Sister Qin. But this happened in front of me, and I just believed the facts. If you are really wronged, I will help you find out the truth." There was a hint of apology and contradiction in He Daqing's tone.

Qin Huairu listened, and a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. "Thank you, Brother Daqing. I know you will definitely help me clear my name."

He Daqing decided to find a friend he could trust to help him investigate the matter, and he thought of Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong was a friend of He Daqing for many years, and the two had experienced many things together and trusted each other. He Daqing believed in his vision and judgment, and hoped that he could help him solve this problem.

So He Daqing hurried to Liu Haizhong's home. When he arrived at Liu Haizhong's door, his heart was full of expectation and anxiety. He knew that if Liu Haizhong could help him, he might be able to find the truth and make everything return to peace.

There was a knock on the door and Liu Haizhong opened it. He saw He Daqing's anxious expression and immediately asked about the situation.

"Brother Haizhong, I've encountered a difficult problem and need your help." He Daqing said anxiously.

Seeing He Daqing's expression, Liu Haizhong knew that he must be in trouble, so he pulled him into the house and asked for details.

He Daqing told Liu Haizhong the whole story, hoping that he could help him investigate and find the truth. Liu Haizhong listened, thought for a moment and nodded, expressing his willingness to help He Daqing solve the problem.

In the gap between investigations, He Daqing decided to make a pot of hen soup. This was not only to fill his stomach, but also to relieve his inner stress and anxiety. He took out a fresh hen from the kitchen, some nourishing Chinese medicinal materials, and some seasonal vegetables, and prepared to start stewing this nourishing soup.
