Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 579 Adopting Rainwater
Director Wang had thought carefully about not letting Yi Zhonghai see the deaf old lady and his wife. It was not known whether Yi Zhonghai did it alone or someone else was involved in the withholding of child support from He Daqing. The same was true for the honey trap incident. Director Wang was worried that Yi Zhonghai would collude with others.

By letting these two people meet He Daqing's family, Director Wang also wanted to observe from the side whether these two people knew about it. If they were people who knew about it, they would definitely panic when they saw He Daqing's family. At the very least, the degree of surprise would definitely be different from that of normal people.

When they arrived at the conference room, Director Wang opened the door and said, "Please come in, everyone here is your acquaintance."

Li Cuilan helped the deaf old lady walk in. When the deaf old lady saw He Daqing, she blurted out, "He Daqing, why are you back?"

When Li Cuilan saw He Daqing, she was a little surprised, but she was not too excited. She just said, "Daqing, you are back. Now they are very happy."

Director Wang knew through indirect observation that the deaf old lady must be related to He Daqing's running away, and she must know all the facts. Director Wang was not interested in their greetings and turned away, because she knew that when the deaf old lady knew that Yi Zhonghai was detained for intercepting letters and embezzling child support, she would definitely not look for her.

He Daqing took his two children back to the courtyard. The deaf old lady took Yi Zhonghai's wife and went somewhere unknown. The He family's return to the courtyard caused a sensation in Courtyard No. 95. Some people who knew the inside story talked about it. Xu Damao was among them. Listening to all kinds of rumors, he planned to go to the next yard tomorrow to tell the two mothers about it.

After dinner, there was a knock on the door of Grandma Jinhua's small courtyard. When Mother Feng opened the door, she saw that it was He Daqing who came to visit with two boxes of cakes and He Yushui, and took the opportunity to thank him for taking He Yushui in.

After hearing the news from the little girl, Wang Wenyuan also came to the central hall of the next courtyard, but did not say anything. He just sat aside quietly watching a few people chatting.

He Daqing didn't talk much. Most of the time, it was Feng Mama who asked the questions and he answered them. However, He Daqing's expression was already very ugly, because the questions asked by Feng Mama were very unpleasant, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Hua Mama had been trying to smooth things over, otherwise He Daqing would probably have run away by now.

At this time, He Yushui quietly ran to Wang Wenyuan and whispered to him that his brother was beaten by his father and could not get out of bed. Wang Wenyuan then smiled with satisfaction, turned around and took the little girl back to his yard. He Daqing also looked back at this young man who was about the same age as his son.

The next morning, Wang Wenyuan felt that he had been a little slack in his studies, so he got up early to meditate, and then practiced the sword skills taught by his master. He only practiced the boxing and kicking routines, which he rarely practiced now. These were of little help to him. He always felt that he was in a very mysterious state, like a bubble, struggling on the edge of breaking or not breaking. It was a bit uncomfortable, but he had no choice. He thought about trying the medicinal bath taught by his master.

Just after breakfast, Xu Damao ran over. What surprised Mother Feng was that he brought He Yushui with him.

Xu Damao said, "I can't help it. He Yushui was making trouble with his father, so Uncle He asked me to bring him here. He knows that I know you."

After they sat down again and placed the melon seeds, tea, and cigarettes on the table, Xu Damao started gossiping. All kinds of rumors about that yard and things that had happened in the past came out of his mouth.

The two mothers listened with great interest and asked a question or two from time to time. Wang Wenyuan looked at Xu Damao and felt that he had the potential to be a crosstalk performer and would surely make a lot of money performing on the flyover.

Xu Damao said, "Mother Feng, why do I feel like Uncle He still wants to leave? If you don't believe me, ask Yu Shui."

Mother Feng was startled, turned to Yu Shui and asked, "What did your father say when he got home?"

He Yushui said a little aggrievedly: "Last night, when my dad came back, he talked to my brother. I heard him say that his new wife was pregnant, and he had to go back after he finished dealing with things here."

Mother Feng looked at He Yushui and asked, "Did they tell me how to arrange for you?"

He Yushui shook his head and said, "No, I don't know. Later, my brother started arguing with him, and I ran back to my room."

"This He Daqing, he must have been blinded by greed. No matter what we say to him, he still won't turn back." Mother Feng said with gritted teeth.

Hua's mother suddenly realized and said, "I understand. I said you insulted him so much yesterday, but he didn't get angry. I guess he wanted to talk about the rain yesterday, but you scolded him so much that he didn't know what to say."

Mother Feng asked doubtfully, "Is that so? That can't be right?" Granny Jinhua chuckled and said, "That's right. He came here yesterday to ask for your care. He tried to speak several times but you scolded him."

Mother Feng looked down at He Yushui and asked, "Yushui, do you agree to live with your two mothers and grandmother in the future?"

He Yushui thought about it, nodded and said, "I like grandma, and I also like Mama Feng and Mama Hua, and I also like Brother Yuan and Sister Lili."

Mother Feng said, "Okay, Damao, I have a favor to ask of you. Go to that courtyard and invite He Daqing over. Tell him I'm treating him to a drink."

"Okay, I'll follow your orders." Xu Damao stood up, took his hat and left.

Mother Feng stood up and said, "I'll go cook. Yuanzi, go get two bottles of good wine."

"Okay, I'll follow your orders." Wang Wenyuan imitated Xu Damao's speech and turned to leave the house.

At noon, He Daqing came, but Sha Zhu didn't because he was sent to the hospital. He Daqing beat Sha Zhu really hard this time because Sha Zhu still believed that Yi Zhonghai was a good man and everything was for his own good. This made He Daqing very angry, and with the incident of He Yushui, he became even more furious.

After everyone sat down, Granny Jinhua spoke for the first time. The old lady asked, "He Daqing, who is Tan Yunyi to you?"

He Daqing was stunned. He looked at Granny Jinhua and felt that she was familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. He replied, "My master's daughter, madam, who are you? I didn't dare to ask yesterday, but I felt that she looked very familiar."

Mother Hua introduced: "Shihua Pavilion, Granny Jinhua."

"Oh, it's you. I have to kowtow to you. Please don't stop me." After saying that, He Daqing stood up and kowtowed respectfully in front of Grandma Jinhua.

Granny Jinhua smiled and said, "When you were an apprentice, I gave you two pieces of pea yellow."

He Daqing stood up and said with a smile: "I remember, I remember, Madam. I still remember the taste. At that time, the master was strict and I didn't meet the master's requirements. I was hungry for a whole day."

"Since Tan Wenqing is your master, we are not outsiders. My girl Feng likes rain very much. Just say whatever you want to say before dinner. There is no need to beat around the bush." ​​Granny Jinhua said.

He Daqing said, "Okay, Madam, Sister Feng, Sister Hua, I'll be frank. I know I was fooled, but I realized it after I was caught this time. I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so insidious. When I left, I had already arranged a job for Sha Zhu. He was an apprentice in a steel mill, earning 185,000 yuan a month. Later, he was gradually promoted to a regular employee. I also kept some money and gave Yu Shui child support every month. I didn't expect it."

He Daqing poured himself a glass of wine and continued, "Before I came back, Bai Fengyi, oh, that's my new wife, just got pregnant. I have no choice but to go back. Here, I was thinking about whether I could entrust Yu Shui to you two and let Sha Zhu take care of her. I'm really worried now, but you two can rest assured that I will mail the child support on time every month."

Just as Mother Feng was about to say something, Mother Hua interrupted her and said, "I'll call you Daqing. In principle, we agree, but you know, this yard belongs to the Madam and will be left to Yuanzi in the future. You have to give the rain a place to live, right?"

He Daqing thought for a moment and said, "I will transfer Yu Shui's room to Yu Shui. It is my private house."

Wang Wenyuan slammed the table and said, "It's settled. Let's have a drink and not talk about anything else. Tomorrow, Mother Feng will take Yu Shui and Uncle He to handle the formalities."

Granny Jinhua and the two mothers stopped talking. It was then that He Daqing realized that this young man had the final say in this courtyard. He was very surprised.
