Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

After listening to Zhao Xina's questions, He Daqing fell into deep thought. It was such a simple question, but he hadn't thought about it for more than ten years. He was already so old that he was like a dog.

"Dad, how did you and the White Widow know each other?"

At this time, He Yushui's IQ finally came online, and she quickly discovered the key point from the conversation between her father and sister-in-law.

"It was a coincidence. We didn't know each other at first. But one day, when I was working overtime at the factory, Yi Zhonghai came to me and asked me to do him a favor and deliver some food to someone. He said that they were a mother and son who had fled.

I didn’t think much about it at the time, it was just something I could do on the way, so I gave it to him.”

"And that person is the White Widow?"

"Well, that's her."

"Then it makes sense if you put it that way."

After listening to He Daqing's words, Director Zhao said coldly: "He Daqing, you seem to be a smart person, but you were so easily tricked by someone!"

"Calculation, that's impossible, right? Where did Director Zhao get this from?

At the beginning, I did think about Yi Zhonghai's problem, but later I asked Xiaobai, and she said that Yi Zhonghai just felt sorry for her, so he helped her a few times.

Besides, why did Yi Zhonghai plot against me like this? "

"Humph, you are deeply in love with Widow Bai! You believe everything others say. No wonder you followed others to defend the city as soon as others told you about it. You don't even care about your own son and daughter. He Daqing, you are such a good father!"

After listening to He Daqing's words and combining them with He Daqing's narration, Director Zhao also guessed some of the things that happened after He Daqing came to Baocheng. When the two were combined, it instantly made sense.

Of course, Director Zhao couldn't talk about these things.

As I said, although he disdained He Daqing's behavior, he also sympathized with the siblings Sha Zhu and Yu Shui.

But it is totally not worth it for him to offend his former boss just for the two siblings.

After all, Sha Zhu and his men could just pat their butts and go back to Sijiu City after they were done. But he still had to stay in Baocheng.

However, now he always glanced at He Daqing's head unconsciously, and always felt that the white chef's hat on this man's head did not match him well.

"Director Zhao, I really didn't ignore them. Even if I, He Daqing, am no longer a human being, I am not so foolish as to abandon my own children and use all the money I earn to support other people's children!

I send them living expenses and write letters every month. 10 yuan a month. Look, I sent them this month too. Look."

As He Daqing spoke, he handed Director Zhao the mailing slip he had sent two days ago.

Director Zhao opened it and saw that it was indeed sent to Sijiu City. He immediately looked at Sha Zhu and Zhao Xina in confusion.

This obviously doesn't match what Shazhu and the others said.

Wasn’t it said that He Daqing had been on the run for more than ten years and had not cared about the two siblings?

But what is this letter about?

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw three confused people. Well, it seemed that these three people really didn't know.

He Daqing also saw the expressions of Sha Zhu and the others. Before Director Zhao opened his mouth, he took the lead in explaining.

"When I left, Zhuzi was still young. And after the incident with Xiaobai, bah, the White Widow, I thought Yi Zhonghai was a good guy. So before I left, I asked him to take care of you. I also asked him to help get the money and then pass it on to you. Didn't you receive it?"

Sha Zhu shook his head honestly.

"Letter, what about the letter? I will write you a letter every two months at most to let you know about my recent situation here."

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't know about the money, He Daqing's heart sank immediately, and he hurriedly asked about the letter again.

When he saw Sha Zhu shaking his head again, his heart was finally hanging.

In an instant, he suddenly understood a lot of things, such as why Director Zhao said just now that he was tricked by Yi Zhonghai.

The idea of ​​helping someone out of pity was all a scam. A scam specifically targeting him.

And the answer to why he wrote so many letters but Shazhu and Yushui never replied once was revealed.

Reply to the letter, reply to the letter, only reply if it is received! Shazhu and Yushui didn't receive it. How can they reply?

For a moment, He Daqing didn't know what to say.

Is it because Shazhu doesn't respect him as a father? Is it because Yushui doesn't get close to him as a father?

He doesn't blame anyone, he just hates.

He hated himself for trusting the treacherous man, hated him for turning his enemy, who had caused him to be deserted by his friends and relatives and disowned by his children, into his benefactor. He wished he could cut Yi Zhonghai into pieces right away.

Looking at He Daqing's confused expression.

At this moment, Sha Zhu's resentment towards He Daqing didn't seem so strong anymore.

After all, his resentment towards He Daqing mainly came from two aspects. One was because he abandoned them back then, and the other was naturally because He Daqing had been ignoring them for more than ten years.

But now that they knew the whole story of He Daqing's departure, and also knew that He Daqing had not completely ignored them over the years, Sha Zhu's resentment towards him naturally faded a lot.

However, although his resentment had faded, he really couldn't turn around and call He Daqing "Dad" immediately.

Because it is an indisputable fact that He Daqing abandoned him and He Yushui back then.

The wounds left by this incident will take time to heal.

"Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, how dare he do that! I live frugally every month and secretly save this little money, not daring to let Widow Bai know, just so that my son and daughter can eat better. How dare he do that! Isn't he afraid of retribution?"

"Dad, Yi Zhonghai has already received retribution. He has committed a crime and has been taken to the northwest."

Seeing her old father so angry, Yu Shui couldn't help crying. It turned out that she had really misunderstood him all along. She still had family members who cared about her.

"My girls, don't cry, don't cry! It's Daddy who is sorry for you, Daddy who is sorry for you!"

He Daqing, who was originally furious, immediately calmed down when he heard Yu Shui crying.

He hurriedly walked to Yu Shui and comforted her in a gentle voice, just like he did when Yu Shui was a child.

As he spoke, he began to cry himself.

Seeing He Yushui and He Daqing hugging each other and crying, Sha Zhu probably felt that it would be a bit inappropriate if he didn't cry, so he also shed tears at the right time.

Director Zhao looked at the crying family and felt sad for a moment.

After they cried for a while, Director Zhao said, "He Daqing, the matter between you and the White Widow was indeed a problem at the time, but now..."

Director Zhao stopped there. As for whether He Daqing could understand it or not, that was none of his business.

Then he talked about another thing: "But you said that you once cooked in the palace. It doesn't affect your family background. After all, in that environment, as a chef, you don't have much choice.

In the final analysis, you are still the exploited class. You! You are simply frightened.

Well, I have shown you the person and explained the matter. It is time for me to go back."

After saying that, Director Zhao stood up and walked out.

He has given them some pointers as needed, but as for what to do, it is up to them to choose.

It is pitiful that He Daqing was deceived so badly, but this cannot cover up his hateful side.

What do you mean he gave help to the White Widow out of pity? That's just kidding.

If you didn't see that she is pretty, could you be so kind?

In the final analysis, He Daqing had brought this upon himself. It was just a pity for the two children.
