Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 270 Don't Alert the Snake

Looking at this lovely appearance, He Yuzhu felt helpless and sad. How could six-year-old He Yushui, who had always been a spoiled little princess, know how to do housework? But this cannot be blamed on her, but on the irresponsible mother who ran away from home. This is really a pity.

He Yuzhu sighed, picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into his sister's bowl: "Eat, eat, and grow up quickly after dinner. When you grow up, you can help your brother with housework."

Seeing the piece of meat, He Yushui's eyes lit up. She picked up the chopsticks with her tender little hands, picked up the piece of red meat with great effort, and carefully put it into her mouth, chewing it happily.

"Brother, you are the best!" He Yushui said vaguely, and her naive appearance made people's heart beat faster. He Yuzhu couldn't help but rub her hair with his hands, "Girl, you just like to say sweet words."

At this time, the voice of father He Daqing came from outside the door: "Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, it's time to eat!" The two quickly put down what they were holding, walked to the dining table and sat down.

Three meals were neatly placed on the table: two bowls of mixed grain porridge with two-grain steamed buns, and one bowl of white steamed buns with mixed grain porridge. The dishes were a plate of braised pork and a plate of shredded green pepper and potato. The peanuts that He Da had cleaned were placed in front of the main seat, and a bowl of porridge was placed opposite. The braised pork was placed in front of He Yushui, and the shredded green pepper and potato were prepared for He Yuzhu.

He Daqing, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at his son and said, "Zhuzi, you are seventeen years old now, so don't always fight for food like a child. You are the older brother, so you should be more humble to your younger sister."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly after hearing what his father said: "Dad, you said this as if I didn't give in to Yu Shui. Besides, she is not a child anymore, she should learn to eat by herself."

He Daqing sighed deeply after hearing this: "I understand that you are angry, but don't forget that she is your mother after all. She must have her own difficulties."

He Yuzhu sneered and asked back: "Her difficulties? She has never come back in the past five years. Hasn't she ever thought about our feelings? Has she ever looked at us again in the past five years?"

He Daqing was speechless for a moment after being criticized by his son. He lowered his head and continued to drink the multi-grain porridge in his bowl silently, unwilling to say anything more.

He Yuzhu looked at his father's old and silent back and felt a bitterness in his heart. He knew that his father had been silently enduring all the pain and pressure brought by his mother's departure over the years, and he had been working hard to maintain the harmony and warmth of the family. But the resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time could not be calmed down in the short term.

At this time, He Yushui's voice suddenly sounded, "Brother, do you think mom will come back?"

The sudden question made He Yuzhu stunned for a moment. When he turned his head to look at the innocent little face, he felt guilty - his emotional outburst just now might have frightened his sister. But he didn't know how to comfort her.

Just when He Yuzhu was at a loss, He Daqing slowly answered: "Baby, your mother...may not come back." He Yushui opened his eyes wide, and asked with doubt and anxiety, "Why? Does she not like us anymore?"

Looking at his little daughter's helpless expression, the father felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms and said softly, "It's not like that, child. Your mother didn't abandon us. She had some unavoidable reasons. No matter what, please believe that we will always be in her heart."

At this moment, tears slid down He Yushui's cheeks into her father's arms, sobbing: "But I just miss my mother very much, I hope she can come to visit me again one day..."

Seeing his sister like this, He Yuzhu's resentment gradually melted away. So he stood up, approached his sister, squatted down and said to her: "Don't cry, good girl. I will protect you and take care of you and won't let you suffer." Then he hugged his sister gently and firmly.

He Yushui looked up and felt relieved to see his brother's generous and considerate look. He then grabbed his brother's arm and said, "Thank you, brother..."

"I miss you too. Let's live together and lean on each other from now on." He patted his sister's back more firmly to reassure her.

Just as the family returned to silence and immersed in this warm time, He Daqing suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "Zhu Zi, what is the so-called 'honey trap' you mentioned just now? Can such a bizarre thing really happen?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was a little surprised and turned his gaze back to his father's anxious face, "Dad, why are you suddenly paying attention to this?"

"When I passed by the factory gate today, I heard the workers chatting about someone using this trick to commit fraud, so I was worried that it might pose a potential threat to you as well," He Daqing said worriedly.

Director Xia scratched his head with a helpless expression and responded, "Old He, this matter involves personal grudges and disputes. It is not within the scope of our public security department. I can't easily intervene."

Notes: Some expressions have been adjusted to make the tone closer to natural spoken language while keeping the core content intact. At the same time, the scene dialogues have been slightly adjusted to ensure smooth transitions. The names of the characters in the original text have been retained unchanged.

He Yuzhu frowned and explained quickly, "Director Xia, you may have misunderstood. I am not asking you to intervene in my personal dispute. I just hope you can help investigate whether the White Widow has other motives. How could a foreign woman who has just arrived in Beijing commit such a bold fraud? And I heard that similar fraud gangs are usually organized and planned. I am worried that my father and others have been used."

Director Xia stared at He Yuzhu with wide eyes, as if touched by his words. He pondered for a while, then responded: "Old He, you are right. The behavior of this White Widow is indeed abnormal, and we should investigate it in depth. However, this matter is not something I can decide on my own, I need to report to the leader."

He Yuzhu was secretly delighted when he heard this. He realized that Director Xia had begun to seriously consider his request. So he continued, "Director Xia, I understand that this is difficult for you, but I sincerely hope that you will believe me. I am doing this for my sister. She is only six years old. If her father is deceived, she and I will lose all our support."

Director Xia sighed, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Lao He. I will do my best to help you. But this matter must be done privately, and the news must not be leaked. I will contact my colleagues in Baoding and try to find out the true identity and motives of this White Widow."

He Yuzhu was filled with gratitude and held Director Xia's hand tightly: "Director Xia, thank you so much. I will never forget this kindness."

Director Xia smiled, waved his hand and said, "Old He, you don't have to be so polite. Serving the people is our duty, and helping each other is a matter of course. But you have to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else."

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly and assured, "Director Xia, please rest assured. I will keep my mouth shut."

After the two continued to talk for a while, Director Xia left the police station. He Yuzhu stood at the door, watching him go away. He was full of hope and gratitude, believing that with the help of Director Xia, ** would surface and protect the peace of himself and his sister. He was full of confidence in the future and firmly believed that he would be able to uncover the true face of the White Widow.

Then, Director Xia walked into a dimly lit office of the steel mill security department. A few old chairs surrounded a dilapidated table, and the air was filled with an uneasy atmosphere, as if something big was about to happen.

"How's the White Widow case going?" Director Xia asked seriously. Everyone present felt a stern atmosphere and they held their breath unconsciously.

A young policeman stood up and said hesitantly, "Chief Xia, we did find some clues, but..."

"But what?" Director Xia frowned, his tone slightly impatient.

"But the White Widow seems unwilling to cooperate with our investigation." The young police officer continued, "She insisted that she was an innocent victim and claimed that she knew nothing about it."

"Humph! How can there be so many innocent people in the world?" Director Xia sneered, "I think she will not give up until she reaches the Yellow River, and she will be even more crazy after seeing the Yellow River."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and then a policeman hurried in with a report in his hand: "Director Xia, we just got the latest information about the White Widow. Two months ago, she went to Beijing."

"Beijing?" Director Xia's eyes sparkled. "This is an important clue. Go to Beijing immediately to investigate and find out where she is."

A few hours later, a colleague in Baoding called Director Xia and told him the news: "Director Xia, I have found the White Widow, and she is at home now."

"Very good, ask her immediately if she knows someone - Yi Zhonghai." Director Xia instructed.

The other party quickly started asking questions, and after a moment responded again: "Xia, she said she knew Yi Zhonghai, and also said that Yi Zhonghai gave her one million in cash and asked her to try to get close to a man named He Daqing."

"What!" Director Xia's voice suddenly rose. "Please explain in detail what is going on?"

The comrade repeated in detail what the White Widow had said over the phone. After listening, Director Xia's expression became very shocked: "I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to actually plan such a conspiracy behind the scenes. It's really hard to imagine."

"Chief Xia, what should we do now?" asked a colleague.

Director Xia thought for a moment and replied, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Let the White Widow remain as she is. I will report this matter to my superiors immediately and wait for further instructions."

After hanging up the phone, Director Xia immediately organized a meeting with all his colleagues to report the whole incident. Upon hearing this infuriating news, everyone present was furious and found Yi Zhonghai's behavior incomprehensible.
