When He Daqing heard that Xu Damao wanted to take him back to Sijiu City, his brain started working fast.

From the very beginning, He Daqing saw that Xu Damao had a conspiracy.

After all, he is not a rich man. Unless he is a fool, he will not regard an old man as his father.

And Xu Damao would definitely not get any benefit from him.

Could it be that Xu Damao’s target is Sha Zhuzi?

Thinking of this, He Daqing deliberately said sadly: "Da Mao, we are not strangers now. To tell you the truth, how can I have the face to go back?"

"Even if I go back, Shazhu will kick me out."

"By the way, how has Shazhu been doing these years? Is he married?"

"It's married, but you will never guess who your daughter-in-law is." Xu Damao said with a sly smile.

"Who is it?" He Daqing became interested.

"Qin Huairu." Xu Damao replied.

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu..." He Daqing kept repeating, "This name sounds a little familiar to me."

"Dad, you are right, Qin Huairu used to be the daughter-in-law of the Jia family."

"Jia...Jia family's daughter-in-law?" He Daqing widened his eyes in disbelief.

When He Daqing left the courtyard, Qin Huairu had already married Jia Dongxu, so he had naturally met her.

"Where's Jia Dongxu?"

"He's been dead for many years. After Qin Huairu became a widow, Sha Zhu often helped her. As time went by, the two of them got together."

Xu Damao looked at He Daqing with amusement.

In this respect, Sha Zhu has perfectly inherited the He family's fine tradition.

"Do they have children?" He Daqing asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I don't have any children, but Shazhu raised Jia Dongxu's three children as his own, and gave you, Old Bai, three grandchildren."

Xu Damao's teasing words were like a bolt from the blue.

"It's over, it's retribution, it's retribution, the He family is wiped out!" He Daqing's lips were trembling with anger.

"Silly Zhuzi, silly Zhuzi, why are you involved with a widow? Your father is a lesson for you..."

"Dad, don't be too sad. You still have me." Xu Damao said hypocritically.

"You..." He Daqing stared at Xu Damao in a daze, and subconsciously asked: "Damo, you have a son?"

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Damao's face suddenly froze.

"You don't have any children either?" He Daqing asked.

Xu Damao nodded with difficulty and explained dryly: "Something happened to me a few years ago, so I haven't gotten married yet."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Xu Damao noticed that He Daqing let out a long sigh, as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.

It seemed that he felt better knowing that Xu Damao didn't have any children either.

Xu Damao cursed in his heart, "This old man is so bad," and then changed the subject.

"Dad, something happened to Shazhu recently. You will know when you get back."

"But my sister Yushui is doing well now. I can take you to see her after you return to Sijiu City."

"Yu Shui..." He Daqing's face was filled with shame when he mentioned his daughter.

He never felt much guilt towards his son Sha Zhu.

Now after listening to what Xu Damao said, he started to think that Sha Zhu had let him down.

But Yu Shui was only nine years old at that time, and he abandoned her. He was really unworthy of being a father.

However, judging from what Xu Damao said, his target is his daughter.

"Rainwater...Is she married?"

"not married."

"What? She...why doesn't she get married?" He Daqing covered his chest with his hands. He was too traumatized today.

His son had no offspring and his daughter was unmarried. He Daqing suddenly felt that there was no hope in this life and the surrounding environment became gloomy.

What a sin this is! !

"Dad, how are you?"

Seeing He Daqing's face turning pale, Xu Damao was so scared that he quickly stood up and stroked his chest to help him calm down.

If something happens to He Daqing, all our work will be in vain!

It took He Daqing a long time to recover. Xu Damao quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Yushui is not married, but she has a daughter who is about five or six years old. She is so smart and beautiful."

"What... is going on?" He Daqing was about to collapse.

"You still remember Cao Yue in the backyard, right? He's the son of Cao Guomin."

"I remember Cao Guomin."

He Daqing was naturally impressed by Cao Guomin.

"That's right, Cao Yue and Sister Yushui secretly gave birth to a child."

"I remember that boy was thin and weak. He will definitely be a sickly person when he grows up. If Yu Shui follows him, she will be a widow forever!" He Daqing was heartbroken.

"Well, Dad, Cao Yue is actually still in good health. He went to Hong Kong Island and made a fortune. After returning, he opened a big hotel. Sister Yushui is now the general manager of the hotel."

"Cao Yue is rich now?"

He Daqing felt better immediately.

Cao Yue has money now, and although Yu Shui follows him without any status, at least she doesn't have to suffer anymore.

At the same time, he also understood Xu Damao's purpose in recognizing him as his father, probably because he wanted to get benefits from his daughter.

"Dad, you don't know that Cao Yue is extremely rich now. The newspaper reported that he donated tens of millions to various universities last year." Xu Damao said jealously.

When these things spread to Siheyuan, everyone thought Cao Yue was the biggest fool in the world.

Why should we donate so much money? It would be better to distribute it to their former neighbors.

"Hiss~" He Daqing took a breath of cold air when he heard the number of tens of millions, and quickly changed his words:

"Back then, I saw Cao Yue was handsome, with big, bright eyes and fair skin. He was different from the wild kids in our yard. I could tell at first glance that he was a blessed child. Now it seems to be true."

Xu Damao resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Dad, I actually feel bad for you."

"Think about it, your daughter is the boss of a big hotel, she enjoys an endless amount of delicacies every day, and she travels in luxury cars and bodyguards, but you, her own father, are still picking up rags. Is this reasonable?"

"I think you shouldn't suffer here anymore. Come with me back to Sijiu City to find Sister Yushui. She will definitely not ignore you."

He Daqing had long wanted to go back, but...

"You know what I did back then. I'm afraid that Yu Shui won't recognize me as his father."

"Dad, I don't think you made a big mistake. You didn't abandon your wife and children after becoming rich. You only went to find my little godmother after my old godmother passed away."

"Whether it's the old society or the new society, there's nothing wrong with men pursuing their own happiness. You have needs too!"

"Besides, it's not like you didn't take care of my sister Yushui. Don't you mail ten dollars home every month after coming here?"

"The minimum living standard in this city is only five dollars. You have done her a great favor."

After listening to Xu Damao's words, He Daqing felt that it made a lot of sense.

At that time, his son Sha Zhu took over his job and was able to support himself. Ten yuan was indeed enough for them to live on.

Xu Damao felt relieved when he saw that He Daqing was slowly convinced by him.

"Da Mao, thank you so much. Without your advice, I would still be stuck in a dead end!"

“Since Yu Shui is now the general manager of the hotel, I will definitely not treat you unfairly when I find her.”

"Shazhu is useless, and his life is ruined. You are capable, so you can help Yushui more in the future."

He Daqing is an old fox, so he naturally knows what Xu Damao likes to hear at this time.

"Dad, we are family now, so don't be polite." Xu Damao was really delighted.

I feel more and more that this trip to Baoding was the right decision.

After dinner, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. I couldn't go back today, so I could only buy a ticket for tomorrow.

In order to save money and cultivate his relationship with He Daqing, Xu Damao returned to the shabby house where He Daqing lived with a pinch of his nose.

This made He Daqing realize that Xu Damao was just a shiny donkey with shiny balls, and he didn't have much money in his pocket.

No wonder he was invited back to join the rain.

He Daqing slept very comfortably that night. He hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time.

Only Xu Damao suffered.

It was already autumn, and it was very cold at night. In addition, the house was leaking, so Xu Damao had to cover himself with a moldy quilt, which almost suffocated him.

Fortunately, he had suffered in the northwest in previous years and was able to endure it.

The next day, Xu Damao was about to take He Daqing with him, but unexpectedly He Daqing caused trouble again.

"Da Mao, I collected these old books and waste paper boxes bit by bit with great effort. Please help me take them to the waste collection station and sell them for money before we leave."

Xu Damao was anxious: "Dad, how much can you sell this junk for? Let's take a car and go see Sister Yushui as soon as possible..."

"No, I won't leave if you don't help me sell it." He Daqing shook his head like a stubborn donkey.

"Okay, I'll sell it. I'll sell it now."

Xu Damao didn't dare to offend He Daqing, so he could only agree.

There was a shabby flatbed truck in the yard. Xu Damao moved all the old books and waste paper boxes onto it, and then he saw He Daqing sitting on the truck.

"Da Mao, I'll sit on it and show you the way." He Daqing said.

"It should, it should."

Xu Damao's eyes twitched constantly. He helplessly put the rope around his neck and pulled the cart with difficulty.

"Da Mao, you're not feeling well. Why are you so slow? Hurry up." He Daqing urged slowly.

"Why am I slow? You haven't figured it out yet!"

Xu Damao was complaining in his heart, but he replied, "Dad, I didn't have breakfast this morning, so I feel weak."

"Be patient for now. When I sell the dough, I'll treat you to fried dough sticks."

"Thank you very much." Xu Damao gritted his teeth.

After selling the items at the scrap yard and finishing breakfast, He Daqing suddenly said:

"Da Mao, I'm grateful to some old friends for taking care of me these past two years, otherwise I would have starved to death. It would be too rude for them to leave without saying goodbye."

Xu Damao covered his forehead and cried out in pain. He realized that He Daqing was backing down.

"Dad, after you meet Sister Yushui, you can come back in glory and treat your old friends to dinner at the biggest hotel in the city. Wouldn't that be better?" Xu Damao advised patiently.

"You're right. Then let's take the bus back now?" He Daqing said hesitantly.

"Let's go quickly, otherwise we will miss the bus." In order to save time, Xu Damao bent down, carried He Daqing on his back and walked away.

……

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The two finally returned to Sijiu City.

In front of the hotel.

He Daqing looked at the magnificent and tall hotel and suddenly felt a little timid. He turned around and was about to run away, but was pulled back by Xu Damao.
