Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

After saying that, He Yudong pushed Jia Zhang away and walked straight into the ward.

In the ward, Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, her face pale and her breathing weak.

He Yudong walked to the bedside and looked at Qin Huairu, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

He reached out and held Qin Huairu's hand, but found that her hand was frighteningly cold.

"Qin Huairu..."

He Yudong called Qin Huairu's name softly, but found that she didn't respond at all.

An ominous premonition came to my mind...

Sha Zhu sighed, walked to the bedside, and asked in a low voice: "Yudong, you really didn't do anything to Qin Huairu?"

He Yudong opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, "Silly Zhu, do you think I am that kind of person?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that Jia Zhang is making a big fuss, and I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that she will blackmail me? If she really had evidence, she would have reported it to the police long ago. Why would she be here cursing like a shrew?"

He Yudong snorted disdainfully, "She just wants to take the opportunity to blackmail me and ask me to pay for her sister's medical treatment."

Sha Zhu thought about it and felt that what He Yudong said made sense.

Who in the courtyard doesn't know what kind of person Jia Zhang is?

Greedy, selfish, tyrannical, they are capable of anything.

"Now what?"

Silly Zhu asked.

"What else can we do? If an enemy comes, we can stop him with our troops and if a flood comes, we can block it with earth."

He Yudong closed his eyes again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I just want to have a good rest now. I don't want to care about other things."

Sha Zhu knew that He Yudong was weak, so he didn't say anything more and turned to leave the room.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Yi Zhonghai and an old lady coming towards him.

"Silly Zhu, how is Yudong?"

An aunt asked with concern.

"Still like that, lying in bed."

Sha Zhu replied.

"Where is Jia Zhang? Gone?"

Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Just left."

Sha Zhu said, "Uncle, what happened to Qin Huairu? Why did she faint for no reason?"

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is indeed strange. I will go and ask about the situation later."

"Master, you must ask carefully, don't let Jia Zhang wrongly accuse a good person."

Silly Zhu said.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and walked into He Yudong's room with the aunt.

"Yudong, how do you feel?"

Yi Zhonghai asked with concern.

He Yudong opened his eyes and forced a smile, "Uncle, I'm fine, just a little tired."

"Just take a good rest and don't worry about other things."

Yi Zhonghai comforted her, "I will go talk to Jia Zhang."

"Then I'll trouble you, uncle."

He Yudong said.

Yi Zhonghai spoke a few more words to the aunt and then left He Yudong's room.

As soon as they left, Xu Damao sneaked in.

"Yudong, I heard that you gave Qin Huairu to..."

Xu Damao had a lewd smile on his face and deliberately stopped talking halfway.

He Yudong gave him a cold look and said, "Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense! I have never touched Qin Huairu!"

"Hey, you haven't touched it? Then why is Jia Zhang so excited?"

Xu Damao had a look of disbelief on his face.

"She's excited because she wants to blackmail me!"

He Yudong said unhappily, "Stop gloating over other people's misfortunes and get out of here!"

Xu Damao curled his lips, "Yudong, why are you so irritable? I just care about you."

"I don't need your concern!"

He Yudong said angrily, "Get out of here right now!"

Seeing that He Yudong was really angry, Xu Damao didn't dare to say anything more and left the room in shame.

He Yudong looked at Xu Damao's departing back, his heart filled with disgust.

This Xu Damao is such a villain!

He closed his eyes and tried to calm down.

He just wants to have a good rest now, and he doesn't want to care about anything else.

But will things really go as he wishes?

Outside the window, the night deepened and the courtyard was silent.

But behind this silence, there is a bigger storm hidden.

Sha Zhu sighed, walked to the bedside, and looked at He Yudong worriedly: "Yudong, are you okay? Jia Zhang's mouth is like poison, don't take it to heart."

He Yudong slowly opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes: "Zhu Zi, I'm fine. It's just...ah, when will this day end?"

"Yudong, don't worry, I will definitely help you find out the truth of the matter and clear your name!"

Sha Zhu clenched his fists and said with confidence.

He Yudong smiled bitterly: "Innocent? In this courtyard, what innocence can there be? Even if the truth is found out, what will happen? Qin Huairu will still blame me, and Jia Zhangshi will still make trouble endlessly."

He paused, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Zhu Zi, I'm tired, really tired. I don't want to go on like this. I want to leave this damn place and start over."

Sha Zhu was shocked when he heard this: "Leave? Where are you going?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, I want to leave here. Leave this place that suffocates me."

He Yudong's voice was low and firm.

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment. He knew He Yudong's determination and also knew that he had suffered too much injustice in this courtyard.

"Yudong, if you really want to leave, I support you. No matter where you go, I will help you."

Sha Zhu patted He Yudong on the shoulder and spoke in a firm tone.

He Yudong looked at Sha Zhu with gratitude: "Thank you, Zhuzi."

"Why thank you? We are brothers!"

Sha Zhu grinned, then sighed, "But, if you leave, what will happen to Qin Huairu and her children?"

He Yudong's eyes dimmed. He had been thinking about this question.

"I'll arrange it."

He said in a deep voice, "I won't abandon them."

"That's good."

Sha Zhu nodded, feeling a little relieved.

The two chatted for a while, and then Sha Zhu stood up and said goodbye.

He Yudong lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Can leaving really bring you relief?

What will the new life be like?

He didn't know, but he knew that he had to make changes and find a new future for himself, Qin Huairu and her children.

The next morning, He Yudong got up early, packed his simple luggage, and prepared to leave this courtyard that made him love and hate.

He walked to Qin Huairu's door, hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Qin Huairu's weak voice came from inside the room.

"It's me, He Yudong."

The door opened, Qin Huairu's face was pale, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "You...why are you here?"

He Yudong looked at her haggard appearance, and his heart ached: "I came to see you."

"I am fine."

Qin Huairu said calmly, "You can go back."

He Yudong took a deep breath and said, "Huai Ru, I...I'm leaving."

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Go? Where are you going?"

"Leave here, go to a new place and start over."

He Yudong said in a firm tone.

Qin Huairu was silent for a moment, then asked: "Then...will you come back?"

He Yudong looked at her, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"I do not know."

He finally said these four words.

Qin Huairu's eyes turned red and tears welled up in them.

"Why...why are you leaving?"

She asked, choking with sobs.

He Yudong looked at her, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness.

"Huai Ru, I'm tired, really tired. I don't want to go on like this."

He paused and continued, "I don't want to be scolded endlessly by Jia Zhang, I don't want to be pointed at by people in the yard, and I don't want to... see you in pain again."

"I......"

Qin Huairu wanted to say something but was interrupted by He Yudong.

"Huai Ru, stop talking. I have made up my mind."

He took a deep breath and said, "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.

Qin Huairu stood at the door, looking at He Yudong's departing back, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She knew that He Yudong would never come back once he left.

And she will face the future storms alone.

He Yudong walked to the gate of the courtyard and suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the courtyard where he had lived for many years, feeling mixed emotions.

Goodbye, courtyard.

Goodbye, Qin Huairu.

He took a deep breath, walked out of the courtyard gate resolutely, and disappeared in the morning sunshine.

He didn't know that behind him, a pair of eyes full of resentment were staring at him.

That is Jia Zhang.

She looked at He Yudong's departing back, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"He Yudong, do you think you can get away? I won't let you go!"

Only after leaving the courtyard did He Yudong breathe a sigh of relief, and the depression in his chest finally dissipated a little.

The morning sun shone on his face, but it did not bring a trace of warmth.

He touched the few remaining bills in his pocket and smiled bitterly.

How easy is it to start over?

He walked aimlessly on the street, his mind a mess, like a pot of boiling paste.

He didn't know where to go or what to do.

Over the past few decades, his life trajectory has revolved around the steel mill and the courtyard house. Now that he has been suddenly separated from them, he seems like a ship that has lost its direction, drifting in the vast ocean.

His stomach growled, reminding him that it was time to solve the problem of food and clothing.

He walked into a dumpling shop, ordered two meat dumplings, and began to eat them ravenously.

After eating the hot dumplings, he finally felt a little bit alive.

After eating and drinking, he began to think about his next plan.

All he knows how to do is cook, so maybe he could try working in a restaurant.

Thinking of this, he perked up and went from house to house along the street asking.

However, the reality was far more cruel than he had imagined.

"Master, are you hiring a cook?"

He Yudong walked into a restaurant with pretty good decoration and asked cautiously.

The restaurant owner looked him up and down with a hint of contempt in his eyes: "What can you cook?"

"I...I can cook Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine..."

He Yudong listed all the cuisines he knew.

The boss sneered: "You know everything? I see you know nothing! We want professional chefs here, not half-baked ones like you!"
