"Brother Daqing, what's wrong with your hand?" Li Guihua asked with concern.

"I took a job outside a few days ago and accidentally burned my hands. Now my hands are like this, I can't do tasks like cutting vegetables or carrying pots. The factory also gave me some compensation and let me leave."

"How could they do this?" Li Guihua was indignant.

"This is the style of those big companies. They are enthusiastic when they need you, and discard you like trash when they don't." He Daqing smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Guihua, don't worry. Although I have lost my job, as long as I am here, I will never let you and your son suffer any injustice."

If I really have nowhere to go, maybe I can only consider borrowing some money to become a rickshaw driver. As long as I can ensure basic living, it will be enough.

Cough... cough, he cleared his throat deliberately, trying to attract Li Guihua's attention.

However, Li Guihua's attention was not on his desire to become a rickshaw driver, but on the word "borrowing money" he mentioned.

Brother Daqing, why did you think of borrowing money? She asked in confusion. You worked in the kitchen of a steel mill, so you should have some savings, right?

He Daqing's face flashed with embarrassment, and he explained: You don't know, I raised two children alone before, and the daily expenses were very high. Dazhu needs to go to school, which requires tuition, and he needs to make connections to learn a craft, and he also needs to prepare for his marriage in advance. With this calculation, my savings have been almost used up.

Seeing that Li Guihua's face looked a little serious, He Daqing hurriedly added: Guihua, don't worry, if we are together, I will give at most half of my monthly income to them two brothers, and the rest will be left to the two of us.

But, regarding the place to live, he hesitated for a moment. If we get married, I may not be able to continue living in this yard. Perhaps, we can move to your place?

As soon as these words came out, Li Guihua's face immediately turned gloomy, but she still forced herself to hold back.

She needed to figure out one thing - was He Daqing's hand injury really irreparable, or was he testing her?

Brother Daqing, how is your hand injury? Let me accompany you to the hospital.

If you can cure it, maybe you can find a job in a restaurant. After I give birth to the baby, I can also go out and find a part-time job, so that we can live a decent life.

He Daqing was a thoughtful person, so he naturally sensed Li Guihua's doubts. He did not point them out, but was surprised at Yang Ming's insight in his heart.

When they arrived at the hospital, He Daqing untied the bandage on his hand, revealing the shocking injury. Li Guihua was shocked when she saw it.

His right hand was covered with various burns, some of which had already scabbed over, but pus was still flowing out, and there was faint blood.

Oozing.

The injury was too severe. The doctor shook his head and said that if he had come to the hospital earlier, there might be a glimmer of hope. But now...

Doctor, what will happen if the disease cannot be cured? Li Guihua asked anxiously. He is a cook. Will this affect his future work?

The doctor sighed and said: cooking may be difficult, but daily life should be no problem. After hearing this, Li Guihua already had the answer in her mind.

The reason why she considered marrying He Daqing was because someone told her that he was a good cook. Now it seems that this marriage is difficult to continue.

Walking out of the hospital gate, Li Guihua looked firm and resolute.

She turned to He Daqing and said, "Mr. He, I have thought it through clearly. I cannot keep this child. Our marriage should end here."

He Daqing was shocked and confused when he heard her words: "Guihua, why did you suddenly say this? Have you forgotten the oath we once made?"

"Pledge?" Li Guihua sneered, "You don't even have a job now, what oath can you talk about? To tell you the truth, the child in my belly is not yours."

He Daqing seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt. He had never thought that this would be the result. But Li Guihua continued to speak with a tone full of disdain: "I originally thought that if you had a promising future, I would reluctantly live with you. But now, you are not even qualified to raise a child!"

It turned out that Li Guihua left the village because she had a child with another man. She met He Daqing and wanted to give the child a nominal father. But now that He Daqing was unemployed, she naturally chose to leave without hesitation.

"Guihua, you...are you really going to leave?" He Daqing's voice trembled.

"Yes, let's part ways in peace." Li Guihua didn't look back, called a tricycle, and disappeared from He Daqing's sight.

He Daqing stood there, watching Li Guihua's back gradually going away.

Although he felt lost, he was more relieved. He understood that this woman was not his true home. And this experience also made him realize more clearly what he was really pursuing.

"Yang Ming, I have to thank you for all this." He Daqing said silently in his heart, "It is you who made me see the reality clearly and helped me find my true self."

In the ancient courtyard of the Siheyuan, He Daqing passionately shared his extraordinary experience of the day with Yang Ming.

"Yang Ming, have you ever imagined how funny Guihua's face would become when she knew that I was unemployed and had nothing!" He danced and vividly described the scene at that time.

Yang Ming smiled and shook his head gently, interrupting He Daqing's interest: "Uncle He, please be patient. Have you ever thought that there may be some unknown secrets behind this matter? Why is it such a coincidence that a young widow wants to marry you at this time?"

After hearing this, He Daqing also realized that something was wrong. He frowned and thought, "Are you saying... Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady are behind this?"

Yang Ming nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "That's right, I guess they may have played a role in fueling the flames. But now, we lack solid evidence and cannot question them directly."

He Daqing was furious when he heard this and wanted to stand up and argue with Yi Zhonghai. However, Yang Ming stopped him in time and calmly suggested: "Uncle He, don't be impulsive. We can change the way and teach Yi Zhonghai a profound lesson."

"How to teach a lesson?" He Daqing asked curiously.

Yang Ming thought carefully and spoke slowly: "Uncle He, you can follow my previous suggestion and ask the matchmaker to find a good match for you from the countryside, and find a stable job in the city. In this way, you can live a comfortable life, and occasionally invite Sha Zhu and Yu Shui to come out for a gathering."

“When Yi Zhonghai thought he had everything under control, he discovered that his plan had completely failed… That scene will surely make people burst into laughter.” Yang Ming added with a smile on his face.
