Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

She pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm going to take a bus back and won't come next month." Han's mother shook her head: "Sister, that's not what I meant." After that, she glanced at Meng Xiaoxing, then whispered something in her aunt's ear.

After hearing this, the aunt frowned and asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?" Han's mother replied helplessly, "You don't want Chunsheng to be unable to find a wife, do you?" When the aunt thought of her nephew's marriage, she immediately stopped hesitating and agreed, "Okay, let's do as you say!"

On the other hand, Meng Xiaoxing had no idea what was about to happen, and she was still cursing Grandpa Guan and Li Weidong in her heart. Li Weidong carefully explained the precautions for a while, and Lou Xiaoe had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, how good it would have been if she had married him in the first place.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to repay Li Weidong, except for the yellow croaker, but she had already refused once. If she proposed it again now, I'm afraid Li Weidong would not accept it again. She seemed to have only one choice left...

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e showed a hint of shyness on her face. But once this thought appeared in her mind, it could not be shaken off. She looked at Old Lou in front of her and took a deep breath, as if she had made an important decision.

"Dad, you go back first, I have other things to do." Without thinking too much, Lou Lao agreed: "Okay, come back soon after you finish your work, we still have a lot of things to sort out." "Got it!"

After Lou Lao left, Lou Xiao'e watched him disappear from her sight, then turned to Li Weidong: "Weidong, can you accompany me to get the things? I'm a little scared to go alone." Li Weidong wanted to refuse, but seeing her pleading eyes, he softened his heart and agreed: "Okay, but hurry up."

"Yes!" Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously. Then, under the guidance of Lou Xiao'e, the two came to an abandoned yard. She said that this was the old house of their Lou family. No one lived there after the war. It was rarely visited by people at ordinary times. It was indeed a good place to hide things.

After entering the main room, Lou Xiao'e didn't turn on the light, but she still locked the door. The old window was not covered, but outsiders couldn't see what was going on inside the house without turning on the light. Two hours later, she snuggled in Li Weidong's arms: "What should I do? I suddenly don't want to leave."

Li Weidong patted her back gently and said, "It's okay if you don't leave. I will protect you." Lou Xiao'e was moved, but she shook her head firmly in the end. If Li Weidong was unmarried, she might stay, but he was married and her staying would only cause trouble. She didn't want to embarrass him, so although she was reluctant, she still chose to leave.

Why should we cling to the beauty that has been had? As long as we are alive, we will meet again one day. "Be careful when you go to Hong Kong this time, and write to me when you have time. I have a smuggler friend named Moyu Zong in Yangcheng, and if you get lost, you can ask him for help. Also, if you don't know how to invest, you can consider the film and television industry." If you don't know what to shoot, just buy the copyright of some martial arts dramas and shoot them step by step. You can also try real estate, but it's best to avoid the stock market, which is not something that ordinary people can handle.

Looking at Li Weidong who was nagging, Lou Xiaoe felt both sweet and sad. In order not to make Li Weidong worry, she smiled and assured him: "Don't worry, I'm not a child, I will pay attention to what you say. You must take good care of yourself in Beijing."

Hu Guangliang's wedding was much more lively than Li Weidong had imagined, and he also met several people he had only seen in newspapers. Hu's background was far beyond Li Weidong's expectations!

As best men, Li Weidong and Hu Guangliang were busy running around, and took this opportunity to meet many important people. However, this was just a superficial contact, and they could have a topic to talk about when they met again in the future. It was a daydream to want to use this to get promoted.

After a busy day, Li Weidong was exhausted. Yu Li was also pulled in to help and was busy and happy. After the wedding, Yu Li couldn't help complaining to Li Weidong: "I feel more tired today than when we got married. It's really torture."

Li Weidong said helplessly: "That's true. Let's stay here tonight. Lao Hu has already arranged a room for us."

"Can you go back to work on time tomorrow?" Yu Li asked.

Li Weidong shrugged and said, "It should be no problem. I have asked someone to apply for leave for me."

"That's good!" Yu Li nodded in agreement, then suddenly remembered something, grabbed Li Weidong's arm and said, "By the way, Weidong, I just met a man at the banquet, he said his name was He Daqing. I remember you said that He Yuzhu's father was He Daqing, could he be the one you mentioned?"

Hearing this name, Li Weidong immediately became energetic. When He Daqing eloped with the widow, He Yuzhu was still a child and had to take over his father's job early and work as a small cook in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. At that time, the life of the brother and sister was very difficult.

When he first joined the factory, He Yuzhu only had an apprentice's salary. When the widow's in-laws saw that the daughter-in-law had run away with the child, they came to ask for compensation. In short, they wanted money! At that time, He Yuzhu had not yet become a fighting hero in the courtyard, so he was naturally no match for those people, so he had to write an IOU.

For a long time, He Yuzhu's salary was taken away by these people before he could even warm it up. The brother and sister relied on the leftovers that He Yuzhu brought home from the canteen to survive. According to He Yuzhu, if it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's occasional help, he didn't know how he would have survived those difficult days. Therefore, he was grateful to Yi Zhonghai and didn't mind even if he knew that he took advantage of him, after all, it was a life-saving favor.

When Qin Huairu first married into the Siheyuan, she often took things from He Yuzhu at the instigation of Jia Zhang. She often gave small favors, such as cleaning and washing clothes. These are trivial things for others, but they mean a lot to He Yuzhu. Because his mother died early and his sister He Yushui was younger than him and could not do housework. He Yuzhu had never had the care of an adult woman, so Qin Huairu had a special place in his heart.

He Daqing has always been a knot in the hearts of He Yuzhu and He Yushui, and they have been looking for him for many years. The reason is simple, that is, they want to ask why he abandoned them, eloped with the widow, and ignored them for many years.

Li Weidong didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, but since he had encountered this, he probably had to help ask. Thinking of this, he said to Li: "Where did you meet him?"

"It's over there with the bride's family and friends."

"Okay, I'll take a look. You wait here for me."

"Ok!"

The guests at the scene had not yet completely dispersed, and Li Weidong quickly found the table that Yu Li mentioned. He looked at the people sitting at the table and recognized He Daqing at a glance. After so many years, He Daqing did not look much older.

Li Weidong stepped forward and shouted enthusiastically: "Uncle He, long time no see!"

He Daqing heard someone calling him and looked up. He could no longer recognize Li Weidong and asked in confusion, "Who are you...?"

Li Weidong smiled and said, "I am Li Weidong from Nanluoguxiang. Do you remember me?" Hearing the names of Nanluoguxiang and Li Weidong, He Daqing's eyes lit up. "Weidong, is it really you?"

Li Weidong nodded and said, "It's me. Are you ready to chat?" He Daqing glanced at his wife, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement. So, the two of them sat down at an empty table in the corner. Li Weidong poured He Daqing a cup of hot tea first, and then asked, "Uncle He, how have you been recently?"

He Daqing replied with an awkward but polite smile: "I'm doing fine." He didn't want to show his plight in front of the children, but he couldn't tell the truth. However, Li Weidong shook his head and said: "You are doing well, but the situation of Zhuzi and Yushui is not so optimistic." When he mentioned his children, He Daqing immediately became nervous and asked cautiously: "What happened to them?"

"What's wrong?" Li Weidong sneered, "When you left without a word, the widow's husband's family came to our house and demanded compensation from Zhuzi. At that time, he was just a novice apprentice, how could he afford to pay compensation? We could only reach an agreement to deduct a portion of his salary every month to give them to them. We lived a tight life for the first three years, but you were free and easy outside, and you didn't even send a letter."

Li Weidong thought that He Daqing would feel guilty after hearing these words, even if he still had a conscience. But he guessed wrong, and He Daqing looked confused after hearing them.

After a long while, He Daqing finally spoke: "No, this shouldn't be the case!"

Li Weidong rolled his eyes. "What's wrong? You didn't leave them any property. How can they live a good life?"

He Daqing looked at Li Weidong seriously: "When I heard about this, I immediately asked someone to bring money home. Before Zhuzi became a chef, I had been sending money regularly. How could they not be doing well?"

Li Weidong was stunned after hearing this and stared at He Daqing's face carefully.

Judging from his expression, he doesn't look like he's lying.

But if he really sent the money, why is life still so difficult for He Yuzhu and his siblings?

There must be something hidden in this.

Li Weidong frowned and asked He Daqing: "Uncle He, who helped you send the money back then?"

"Who else could it be? Old Yi!" He Daqing seemed to realize something after he finished speaking, and asked, "Don't you know about this?"

Li Weidong shook his head. He had never heard of this.

Yi Zhonghai is so bold that he actually dared to swallow up the money. Isn't he afraid of He Yuzhu's revenge afterwards?

Perhaps Yi Zhonghai was overwhelmed by the issue of retirement and wanted to use it to control He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu must be grateful to Yi Zhonghai for helping him in his most difficult time. When Yi Zhonghai is old, He Yuzhu may take the initiative to take care of him even without him saying anything.

This is such a well thought out plan!

Without sufficient wisdom and courage, it is impossible to do such a thing.

At this time, He Daqing's face was gloomy. He had already got the answer from Li Weidong's expression.
