Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Although his abandonment of his child was despicable, he has tried his best to make up for it financially over the years.

Originally, He Daqing was quite grateful to Yi Zhonghai, and felt that it was thanks to him that he helped take care of He Yuzhu and his sister. When he wrote a letter a few days ago, he also mentioned that he had introduced a good girl to He Yuzhu, who also had a good family background. After receiving the letter, He Daqing was quite happy and planned to repay Yi Zhonghai.

But after listening to Li Weidong's words, he began to doubt Yi Zhonghai's words.

So he asked Li Weidong: "Weidong, was Zhuzi and Yudian's partner introduced by Lao Yi?"

Li Weidong was stunned: "What does this have to do with Yi Zhonghai? Yudian met her boyfriend herself, and I introduced Zhuzi to her boyfriend. The deaf old lady can testify to this." He came to his senses and asked, "Uncle He, didn't Yi Zhonghai tell you this?"

He Daqing smiled bitterly and nodded.

Li Weidong was furious and shook his head: "When you gave him the money, did you ask him to give you a receipt?"

He Daqing sighed: "We have been neighbors for so many years, I didn't expect him to do this."

It seems that as long as Yi Zhonghai firmly denies it, there is no evidence.

All the money He Daqing sent over the years was wasted.

"Uncle He, what are your plans now?"

"What can I do? I can only blame myself for being too trusting. Now there's no hope of getting her back."

Li Weidong touched his chin and said, "Not necessarily. We can't just suffer losses in vain."

He Daqing looked at Li Weidong expectantly: "Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have one, but your daughter-in-law must have a way. She is not someone you can easily mess with!"

"Really? Is this going to work?"

"Give it a try. But you can't just sit there and do nothing. Find a chance for him to give you a receipt. If he does, things will be much easier."

He Daqing was angry that Yi Zhonghai had swallowed his alimony, so he naturally wanted to seek justice. "Okay, I'll go back and find a solution."

After the two finished their discussion, Li Weidong left. Knowing that He Daqing had not completely given up on He Yuzhu and his sister, Li Weidong's doubts deepened.

Judging from his wife's attitude towards him, He Daqing's life has not been easy these years. He gave up his job to He Yuzhu and became an idler. Where did he get so much money to support himself?

Li Weidong didn't think He Daqing was lying, but he felt that He Daqing might be hiding something.

On the way home, Li Weidong looked at the small cloth bag that He Daqing had just stuffed into his pocket, which contained a roll of banknotes and food coupons. Even someone like Li Weidong, who was not short of money, was inevitably surprised.

He Daqing's family is very wealthy. He used to be very low-key in the courtyard house, but now he seems wealthy.

Li Weidong vaguely remembered that He Yuzhu's family had been poor peasants for generations, and he didn't know where He Daqing got so much wealth.

Maybe he was doing some business secretly like himself?

This is not impossible, after all, Li Weidong is not the only smart person.

The next morning, Li Weidong and Yu Li slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up and leaving after having breakfast at Hu Guangliang's house. Traveling during the day was faster than at night, and when they returned to the courtyard, it was just lunch time.

Li Weidong decided to cook at home, and after having lunch with Yu Li, they went to work.

There was nothing important to do today. Li Weidong just drove a truck of steel to Peking University and then had some free time.

He simply drove to the repair shop to have his vehicle serviced.

Han Zhizhi happened to be there, and Li Weidong originally planned to find an opportunity to tell He Yuzhu about He Daqing in private, and then pass it on to Han Zhizhi through He Yuzhu. But he saw that Han Zhizhi didn't seem to be busy, and He Yuzhu's work should be finished soon, so he decided to make it clear in front of the two of them.

If he talked to He Yuzhu alone, this guy might soften his heart and make a big deal out of a small matter, but this matter cannot be let go like this.

With Yi Zhonghai as a hidden danger in the yard, there will never be peace.

He Daqing really shouldn't have encroached upon the maintenance money that He Yuzhu and his sister were entitled to, and Li Weidong really didn't want to see this happen.

After the three of them gathered in the kitchen, Li Weidong found a quiet corner and told them about his encounter with He Daqing at the banquet yesterday.

When He Yuzhu heard that He Daqing was still in Baoding, he was very emotional at first, but when he heard Li Weidong say that He Daqing had been sending money to them over the years, his first reaction was disbelief.

"Impossible! I haven't received a penny in all these years. If I didn't work in the cafeteria, my brother and I would have starved to death by now!" He Yuzhu retorted.

Li Weidong glanced at him and said, "Can you listen to me first?"

He Yuzhu then shut up and waited quietly for Li Weidong to continue.

Li Weidong went on, "I thought so at first, but your father later told me that he gave you the money through Yi Zhonghai. Although there was no receipt, he did sneak into the city once a month. If you still don't believe it, I can tell you one more thing: Yi Zhonghai did write a letter to your father before, and the letter mentioned that the person you were dating was introduced by him. This is definitely not fake. The original letter is still in your father's hands. You can go to Baoding to find him to verify it."

"No, this is impossible." He Yuzhu felt like the sky was falling.

The person he respected the most for many years had actually been deceiving him?

No matter what, He Yuzhu could not accept this reality. He was angry and helpless, but he didn't know what to do and fell into deep confusion.

Seeing He Yuzhu's silence, Han Zhizhi did not stop talking. Han Zhizhi was straightforward and had a bad temper. Han Zhizhi did not care about the relationship between He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai.

She slammed the wooden door hard, almost breaking it. "This is too much! What does Yi Zhonghai think of Ah Zhu? We can't just let this go. We can't lose a penny of the money that belongs to us! And he made Ah Zhu and Yang Yang suffer so much, so we have to settle this account!"

After hearing Han Zhizhi's words, He Yuzhu looked at her and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Li Weidong glared at him, so he had to hold it back.

He Yuzhu didn't want to fall out with Yi Zhonghai, but he also knew that he couldn't just let it go.

"I'll go to the workshop now, pull Yi Zhonghai out and skin him alive!" Han Zhizhi said sternly.

Li Weidong quickly persuaded him, "No, this makes sense, but it will become unreasonable. Things cannot be solved directly with violence, but if you are really angry and want to beat him up to vent, I will not stop you."

Han Zhizhi widened her eyes and asked, "You want me to not touch him, then what about the anger we suffered and the money we lost?"

Li Weidong consoled him, "Hold on for now, and wait until we hear from your father-in-law to see if Yi Zhonghai can write a receipt. If not, we can take other measures."

Han Zhizhi was reluctant to listen to Li Weidong's words, but she knew that Li Weidong was a reliable person. She was able to get together with He Yuzhu largely because of Li Weidong's matchmaking. Therefore, she was willing to give Li Weidong this face.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Yes, don't rush to find Yi Zhonghai. Be patient. I think your father-in-law will respond soon. He is also anxious." After saying this, Li Weidong paused and turned to He Yuzhu: "Azhu, do you want to see your father again?"

Hearing this question, He Yuzhu hesitated. If he didn't know that Yi Zhonghai had swallowed the money, he would definitely go to see He Daqing, and even beat him up and ask him why he abandoned him and his sister. But now He Yuzhu's heart is very complicated.

He did have hatred towards He Daqing in his heart. After all, it was an indisputable fact that He Daqing abandoned him and his young sister. But He Daqing had not completely forgotten his responsibilities as a father, and his concern for them was not completely indifferent. Moreover, Han Zhizhi also wanted to meet He Daqing. After all, he was her father-in-law, and she was going to marry He Yuzhu. Their only relative was her sister. It would not sound good if this matter got out. After all, the guests would be curious about why there were no elders from He Yuzhu's side. Once they inquired, they would know that, ah, it was heard that Miss Han's father-in-law was seduced by a widow in his early years. How embarrassing!

However, Han Zhizhi respects He Yuzhu's decision. As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. If you have conflicts before marriage, how can you live in the future? For her, it doesn't matter whether she meets He Daqing or not. The key is to live a good life with He Yuzhu. Her personality is completely opposite to that of her sister Han Wanwan. Although Han Wanwan is kind, she is too kind. In addition, she is young and does not know the importance of things, so she is easily taken advantage of. Han Zhizhi's aggressive personality can protect He Yuzhu and bring them closer.

After He Yuzhu and his wife left, Li Weidong felt relieved. He was worried that they would get into trouble because of their impulse, which would be bad for all of them. If he didn't want to do that, he would understand the feeling. Li Weidong couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart. This incident had gone through many twists and turns and offended many people. He had no choice. It was so complicated and involved them.

On the way, Han Zhizhi suddenly asked Li Weidong a very abrupt question: "Does the team have any missions to the Northeast recently?"

Li Weidong couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He looked at her in confusion and said, "Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you want to hitchhike home?"

Han Zhizhi waved her hand and said casually: "If I want to go back, it would be more convenient to buy a train ticket."

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, for you, if you encounter a train without a ticket, getting a train ticket is really a piece of cake."

Hearing him say this, Han Zhizhi was a little annoyed and frowned and said, "Actually, it's like this. My uncle has a group of friends whose children want to go home to visit their relatives, but it's not convenient for them to take the train, so I wanted to ask if you have any arrangements in this regard. If possible, I can let them take the train together."
