The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chen Ping and Lu Zixuan waited until 9 o'clock in the evening but there was still no movement. Chen Ping wanted to give up, but when she heard her son's voice, she immediately became alert.

Lu Zixuan shouted in his heart, "Oh no, He Daqing is going to run away, Mom, go find Shazhu and Yushui quickly."

Chen Ping got up immediately, holding Lu Zixuan and ran to the middle courtyard. Fortunately, He Yuzhu got off work late and was still awake. After knocking on the door, she heard He Yuzhu shout "Come in", pushed the door open, and saw He Yuzhu holding Yushui and preparing to go to bed. Chen Ping said without much nonsense: "Zhuzi, put Yushui on the bed, let's talk. I guess your father will leave in the next two days, you should be mentally prepared."

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Ping in surprise at first, then said calmly: "I feel the same way. He has been back at around 2 a.m. for three consecutive days. Sister, what do you think Yu Shui and I should do?" He Yuzhu was about to cry. After all, he was just a child.

Chen Ping looked at the two siblings and said calmly, "Zhu Zi, don't cry. Hold it in. A man should be responsible and courageous. Put on shoes for Yu Shui. Yu Shui, stop pretending. I'll make it clear to you and your sister... Yu Shui, what did I tell you a few days ago? You didn't tell me that your dad came home in the middle of the night? Needless to say, Zhu Zi, I know it was your idea."

Seeing that both of them were hanging their heads, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "First, I have to talk to your father, but before that, I want to ask for your opinions. Now it seems that your father is definitely going to leave, and I want him to sign a letter of commitment before he leaves."

“First, transfer the house you currently live in to Zhuzi;

Second, I have to sign a certificate of severing ties with you. Don’t wait until you grow up and finally have a stable life, and then come back with a biological father who has never given you a single day of warmth.

Third, don't use a penny from He Daqing. If you want to end it, just end it cleanly. Don't use a few insignificant coins to buy retirement security for decades to come. Don't worry, my salary is much higher than your father's, but I didn't tell you that I am now an official in the street office, and you are not allowed to tell others;

Zhuzi, don't think about anything. I will give you 5 yuan every month, for yourself, not for both of you, until you finish your studies. Yushui, as long as you want to study, I will always support you. If you don't want to study, I will find you a better job when you grow up.

The reason I did this is very simple. I want you to be my pillar and protect Xuanxuan and me until Xuanxuan is 15 years old. I will help you raise Yushui until she gets married, and give you three years to learn and become a master.

I will arrange a job for you, and I will no longer pay you after you become a regular employee. You have to be a real man. I don't need anything in return from you. As for why, it's probably because we have similar fates and I don't want you to suffer. I will tell you about my life story later, and then you will know that you are still very happy. Do you have any objections? If you do, then you should say that since you call me sister, I have to find a way to protect you. Of course, you can also refuse and live your own way. "Chen Ping still gave them the opportunity to choose, what if they wanted to be self-reliant?

He Yuzhu and Yu Shui stared at each other for a long time. Yu Shui jumped down from the stool and pulled He Yuzhu. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. Chen Ping accepted it because it was a grace of rebirth for them.

The two of them solemnly called her "big sister". The three decided that He Yuzhu would sleep in He Yushui's side room, while He Yushui and Chen Ping would sleep at home. The main room would be locked. The three said they must wait until He Daqing arrived.

Indeed, at 3 a.m., He Daqing was blocked, and He Yuzhu hurried to the backyard to call Chen Ping and He Yushui. The four of them reached an agreement in the back and forth, and all the conditions proposed by the three were met. He Yuzhu also asked for two more things, the recipe of Tan's dishes and his mother's relics.

He Daqing didn't even wait for the next day. He packed up his things and tied them into a huge bag, and left the courtyard with it on his back. From then on, He Daqing had no relationship with the courtyard anymore. Only three people were left, and they unanimously decided to kill a chicken to celebrate the next day...

The next day, the family of four had just finished their meal and had just left the house when they saw Lu Zhihai’s smiling face frozen.

Chen Ping said sarcastically: "Hey, wake up. If you beg at someone's doorstep at this time, your legs will be broken. If you come to borrow money, forget it. We have four people to support now. If you want to follow some disgusting people to do disgusting things, it depends on whether you can bear the consequences. Do you understand? Tell you, my master, if he gets angry, I will cut off his livelihood. Zhuzi, Yushui, let's go." Chen Ping did not give Lu Zhihai face and directly exposed

"No..." Without saying anything, Lu Zhihai froze in his place. He was frantically thinking about what went wrong. He had been cooperating for the past few months. Was it intentional or was it someone's advice? How did she guess? Even he had just learned about this vicious plan...

Chen Ping held Lu Zixuan and pulled He Yushui into the office. "Yushui, you are 6 years old now, so you should go to school, right? Why didn't you go when school started?"

"My dad, no, He Daqing said he was too busy and didn't have time to pick me up. Actually, I wanted to go to school. Others read characters in comic books, while I read pictures. I used to think it was good, but now I feel embarrassed that I'm the only one who can't read." After saying this, He Yushui's face turned red.

"Okay, I thought you didn't want to go, so I didn't ask. I'll take you home after I finish my work. You can get your household registration book and register for school. It's just the beginning of the school year, so you should be able to keep up. If you don't understand something, go home and ask me." Chen Ping said as she opened her itinerary notebook. This was made by Chen Ping herself according to Lu Zixuan's suggestion.

After reading the purchase plan and various requirements and making good docking arrangements, she handed the remaining matters over to other clerks. Chen Ping took Yu Shui home directly to get her household registration book and go through the enrollment procedures. Chen Ping's identity as an officer was still very useful. She only had to wait until the next day to send Yu Shui to school. She also bought cloth to make a school bag and bought...

Two days later, during the morning working hours, five people, yes, plus Li Changsheng, the son of the old Li family, just entered the middle courtyard and saw Yi Zhonghai saying to He Yuzhu with a kind smile: "Silly... uh, Zhuzi, your father left me a message when he left two days ago, asking me to take care of you two siblings. He and the White Widow have gone to Baocheng. You two can come to me if you have any problems in the future. Don't worry, your uncle is here, you won't starve."

"Who? My dad? We don't have a dad? You mean He Daqing? He has severed ties with us. The street office has a record of it. Didn't he tell you? Uncle Yi, thank you for your concern. We are doing well. We will definitely come to you if we have any difficulties. We are in a hurry to go to work and school, so we won't waste your time." After saying this, He Yuzhu took Yu Shui and followed Chen Ping out of the middle courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. What was going on? He Daqing said he would leave only after he had explained everything, but he left without saying anything. Was he going to explain to Sha Zhu? He finally found a reason, but was tricked by He Daqing again. It was probably impossible to break off the relationship. Sha Zhu must have said it in anger. Otherwise, how would they live? Just an unpaid apprentice? No, he had to discuss countermeasures with the old lady. This was all planned, how could there be any mistakes?
