He Yushui was dumbfounded when he heard this. What was going on? He Daqing didn't ignore them? And he even left 200 yuan? Why didn't Yi Zhonghai say anything about it? At this moment, the brother and sister were full of questions.

He Daqing knew that Yi Zhonghai had tricked him. It was not that he didn't know that Yi Zhonghai wanted to find someone to take care of him in his old age, but Yi Zhonghai chose Jia Dongxu at that time, so he felt at ease to entrust Sha Zhu and his sister to Yi Zhonghai. However, he didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would treat his son as a spare tire for his old age.

He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would really get into trouble later. He was secretly angry that Yi Zhonghai had made a good plan.

At this moment, Sha Zhu also figured out what was going on and asked, "So Yi Zhonghai not only didn't help us, but also embezzled our living expenses?"

He Daqing nodded and said, "That's right. At that time, I knew Yi Zhonghai was looking for someone to take care of the elderly, but he had already chosen Jia Dongxu, so I didn't take it to heart and entrusted you and your sister to Yi Zhonghai. Now I think I didn't think it through, and you and your sister have suffered for so many years."

When He Yushui heard that He Daqing did not ignore her, she thought of the grievances she had suffered in previous years, and hugged He Daqing and burst into tears.

He Daqing also comforted He Yushui with heartache. Sha Zhu's eyes were red at this time. He was called Sha Zhu, but he was not really stupid. Why did Yi Zhonghai withhold the child support and instead help them? Now it seems that everything makes sense. Yi Zhonghai treated him well for the sake of his own retirement.

He recalled the suffering his brother and sister had endured when He Daqing had just left, and said angrily, "Yi Zhonghai, this old bastard, is really good at scheming. Just wait and see how I deal with him when I get back. He has to spit out everything he ate from me."

He Daqing comforted He Yushui, and seeing that Sha Zhu also understood the cause and effect of the matter, he was relieved and said, "Zhu Zi, it's good that you can figure it out. Stay in the guesthouse today. Tomorrow I will take a leave and go back to Sijiu City with you. I want to see how Yi Zhonghai will explain to me."

Sha Zhu and He Yushui looked at each other, and Sha Zhu said, "Dad, we'll just take one day off. We have to rush back this afternoon, otherwise we won't be able to explain tomorrow."

He Daqing thought about it and said, "That's fine. I'll go back and ask for leave. We'll go back to Sijiu City soon. I will make Yi Zhonghai pay the price."

On the train from Baocheng to Sijiucheng, He Daqing asked He Yushui about his life in the courtyard over the years. When he heard that the Lin family helped He Yushui, he sighed, "Lin Shanhai and his wife are good people. If they hadn't helped Yushui, you wouldn't know what you would have suffered. You must thank them when you go back."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Dad, you don't know, Yu Shui almost grew up in the Lin family. Look at her complexion, it's better than mine."

He Daqing then had the heart to observe He Yushui. He saw that He Yushui's face was rosy and he didn't look like a person with a missing mouth at all. So he smiled and said, "It's because Shanhai and Xiuzhi are kind-hearted, and it's also because we are lucky. But Lin Ping from the Lin family is really capable."

He Yushui said proudly, "That's right, my brother Pingzi is really capable. Now other people can't even get enough food, but I can eat meat from time to time at Aunt Wang's house, and it's always dry and filling."

Seeing that He Yushui's personality was still the same as before and was not affected by the previous years, He Daqing was very pleased. At the same time, he was also grateful to Lin Shanhai and Wang Xiuzhi.

It was getting dark in the afternoon when Shazhu, Yushui and Daqing came out of the station. Shazhu asked, "Dad, are we going back to the hospital directly?"

He Daqing thought of how his daughter almost starved to death, and he hated Yi Zhonghai so much that he shook his head and said, "You guys go back first. I'll go to the police station to report the case. Yi Zhonghai embezzled so much money that he should be put in jail."

Sha Zhu hesitated after hearing this and said, "Dad, although Yi Zhonghai did something immoral, he has helped me a lot over the years. Besides, we live in the same courtyard, so it's not a bad thing to do something wrong, right?"

He Daqing was so angry at Sha Zhu's words that he laughed. He glared at Sha Zhu and said, "Are you confused? Yi Zhonghai is helping you. He is using my money to buy your kindness. The ultimate goal is to provide for your retirement. Don't worry about it. I will handle it myself."

He Yushui had no good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai, so he stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go with you."

When Sha Zhu saw He Yushui wanted to go with him, he had no choice but to say, "Then let's go together."

Siheyuan.

The home of Yi Zhonghai in the Central Courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was wondering what Sha Zhu had been doing all day and why he hadn't been seen all day.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was thinking about it, Yan Fugui in the front yard saw Sha Zhu and He Yushui walking in with two police officers. When he saw He Daqing behind Sha Zhu, he widened his eyes and asked, "Daqing, why are you back?"

He Daqing smiled and said to Yan Fugui, "Old Yan, we can talk later. I have business to do first." After that, he walked towards the central courtyard.

Yan Fugui knew at a glance that something was going to happen in the courtyard, so he hurried to the central courtyard.

He Daqing came to the middle courtyard and pointed at Yi Zhonghai's house and said, "Comrade, this is Yi Zhonghai's house."

A police officer came to Yi Zhonghai's door, knocked and shouted, "Is Comrade Yi Zhonghai home?"

Yi Zhonghai, who was thinking in the room, heard the noise outside. Just as he was about to get up to see what was going on, he heard someone calling him. He opened the door and saw a police officer. He was stunned at first and then asked, "I am Yi Zhonghai. What do you want to talk to me about?"

The police officer confirmed Yi Zhonghai's identity, took out the handcuffs from his waist and handcuffed him directly, saying: "Yi Zhonghai, your case has been exposed, please come with us."

Yi Zhonghai was admitted with handcuffs on his face, and was dazed for a moment. But when he saw He Daqing standing outside, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was bad.

He Daqing saw Yi Zhonghai was furious, so he ran over and kicked Yi Zhonghai to the ground and asked, "Yi Zhonghai, you are really amazing. I trusted you and entrusted the children to your care, but what did you do? Do you have any conscience? Is this how you repay my trust? The rain was so light that year, but you embezzled the 200 yuan I left and watched her starve. Are you still a human being? Not only that, you also embezzled the living expenses I sent you. For eight whole years, Yi Zhonghai, have you let a dog eat your conscience?"

After saying that, he kicked twice more, still not satisfied. Aunt Yi saw Yi Zhonghai being kicked to the ground, and hurried over to stop him, saying, "Daqing, let's talk it over. Although what my old Yi did was wrong, he has taken good care of Zhuzi and his sister over the years. You can't treat him like this."

He Daqing was so angry that he almost laughed. He said coldly, "Don't try to trick me. You are not a good person either. You knew I left money for Sha Zhu, but you pretended not to know and watched them suffer. You and Yi Zhonghai are birds of a feather."

Aunt Yi's face turned red after being scolded by He Daqing, but she couldn't find any reason to refute. She sighed in her heart. She didn't agree with Yi Zhonghai's doing this at the beginning, but it was too late to regret it now.

Yan Fugui was stunned after hearing what he heard, thinking that Yi Zhonghai was too cruel. Everyone saw how Sha Zhu and his sister lived. He didn't expect that He Daqing didn't ignore his children, but let old Yi embezzle all the money he left.

However, he also knew that Yi Zhonghai was not short of that little money, and he did this for his retirement. Thinking of this, he sighed that Old Yi was actually a poor man, but the thing he did was too unkind. It seems that he has to be careful when dealing with Old Yi in the future.

The neighbors in the courtyard also understood and thought to themselves, He Daqing has been gone for eight years and has also sent money for eight years. How much money does this add up to? Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the Shazhu brothers and sisters with envy.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to kick a few times but was stopped by He Yushui. No matter how to say Yi Zhonghai has been good to Sha Zhu over the years, if Sha Zhu took action, his reputation would be ruined.

Yi Zhonghai got up and explained: "Lao He, you misunderstood. The money was kept for Zhuzi and Yushui. I didn't touch a penny. I was afraid that Zhuzi would spend money recklessly at a young age, so I helped him keep it. I thought I would give it to him after he got married." After saying that, he winked at Aunt Yi.

Auntie Yi understood what was going on and went into the house to get the money. After a while, she came to the middle courtyard with a stack of money.

Yi Zhonghai took the money and handed it to He Daqing, saying, "Old He, you don't know me well enough. Besides, I don't need this little money. Don't you think this is true?"

When the neighbors in the yard thought about the fact that Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level worker and earned 99 yuan a month, they thought he didn't need that little money, so some of them believed what Yi Zhonghai said. Only Yan Fugui kept shaking his head.

He Daqing was so angry when he heard this that he asked, "I know you don't need this little money, but you took my money and watched the brother and sister suffer. It's unacceptable in any way. If you have anything to say, go to the police station and tell them."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's explanation, the two police officers did not take any action. They also thought that it was better to have less trouble than more, and if the matter could be resolved privately, everyone would be happy. After hearing what He Daqing said, they knew that the other party was unwilling, so they had to step forward and pull Yi Zhonghai out of the yard.

Yi Zhonghai struggled and said, "Lao He, if you let me go, I will double the compensation, otherwise we will both die together."

He Daqing's face changed when he heard this, but when he saw He Yushui, he made up his mind and said nothing. He just watched Yi Zhonghai being taken away by the police.

When Aunt Yi saw this, she quickly ran to the backyard. The only person who could save Yi Zhonghai at the moment was the deaf old lady.

When Xu Damao saw Yi Zhonghai being arrested, he was so happy that he wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate.

Lin Shanhai and Wang Xiuzhi shook their heads, thinking that Yi Zhonghai was a really sinister man. It was obvious that he was trying to make Sha Zhu hate He Daqing so that Sha Zhu would provide for him in his old age.

Yi Zhonghai was arrested. He Daqing brought the two siblings back to the house. Sha Zhu frowned and said, "Dad, what did Yi Zhonghai mean by the last sentence? What does it mean to fight to the death?"

He Daqing sighed unnaturally, "Why do you think I left Sijiu City? The White Widow was only one of the reasons. The real reason was that I cooked for the Japanese invaders and I was afraid of being liquidated, so I ran to Baocheng. This was Yi Zhonghai's idea. I didn't expect that he would have such an idea."

He Yushui became anxious when she heard this. Now that she was older, she could understand some things. She couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What are you going to do, Dad? What if Yi Zhonghai tells everyone?"

Sha Zhu finally understood why He Daqing left Sijiu City without hesitation. It turned out that he was afraid of being liquidated. So he worriedly said, "Dad, what will happen to you if this gets out?"
