Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

He Daqing went out for a stroll and bought some things before returning to the courtyard.

As soon as he got home, He Daqing took out the snacks he bought to coax Xiaodang.

Qin Huairu was very happy to see this scene.

The fact that my future father-in-law likes my daughter means that he truly accepts the three of us, mother and daughter.

Just Banggeng felt a little jealous when he saw this scene.

He Daqing bought things for his sister but not for himself.

This made Banggeng hate He Daqing as well.

"Be good, I'll ask your grandfather to buy you something delicious."

Jia Zhang also hated He Daqing to the core.

Why did He Daqing buy food for Xiaodang, that money-loser?

If I were to give it to someone, it would be for my eldest grandson.

After putting down his things, He Daqing took some cooked food and wine and went to the backyard to find Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun was also a little surprised to see He Daqing coming back.

"Chuxia, go get some peanuts and melon seeds. Uncle He, why did you come back without a word? I didn't even hear Yu Shui mention it."

"It happened so suddenly that I haven't told Yushui yet. Zhuzi and Huairu are looking after the child. I'm an eyesore, so they came to you to have a drink."

Wang Jianjun took the nuts brought by Shen Maiqiu and placed them on the table, saying with a smile:

"Uncle He, you came back because of the pillar, right?"

"Yes, I came back this time to help Zhuzi get married."

"How long will you stay this time?"

"No, I'm just coming back to retire this time. I won't go back to Baoding after I break up with the White Widow. When Zhuzi gets married, I'll live in the old deaf man's house. We'll be neighbors in the same yard in the future."

Wang Jianjun didn't expect that He Daqing would break up with Bai Guafu so quickly.

Wang Jianjun talked to He Daqing about his next plans.

After the job at the steel factory was passed on to Sha Zhu, he had no intention of going back.

He Daqing actually has a lot of connections in Beijing, and he also has some skills.

It was not difficult for him to find a job.

"Oh, Uncle He, when you come back, please pay more attention to Yi Zhonghai. I guess he was drugged when he married Jia Zhang. He was supposed to drug Qin Huairu, but somehow he got drugged instead."

"Okay, I had my suspicions when Zhuzi told me about this. Yi Zhonghai really likes to use some shady tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage."

He Daqing had some guesses after hearing about what happened to Yi Zhonghai that night.

Qin Huairu is now his future daughter-in-law.

If Yi Zhonghai succeeds, wouldn't it bring shame to the He family?

He Daqing drank most of the bottle of wine, and Wang Jianjun just had a few drinks with him.

After drinking, He Daqing strolled back to the central courtyard.

It's still early and He Daqing doesn't want to go to bed so early.

Just go out for a walk.

By the way, look for old friends from back then.

He Daqing strolled along the way and came to an alley.

Looking at the red lanterns hanging at the intersection of the alley, He Daqing chuckled.

This place is still there.

He then strode into the alley.

I had only walked a few steps when an old procuress came over and said with a smile:

"Hey, old man, you look familiar?"

The madam was stunned when she saw the expression on He Daqing's face.

"You are... Brother He?"

"You are... Lotus?!"

He Daqing was also a little surprised that he met an old acquaintance when he went out with his girlfriend.

"It's really you, Brother He?!"

The woman named Lotus was a little surprised. It was obvious that she and He Daqing were old acquaintances.

And it's not just an old acquaintance.

"It's been a long time, Lotus."

He Daqing rubbed his hands awkwardly.

The woman named Lotus said with some resentment:

"Nine years is not a long time. You said you wanted to marry me, but then you disappeared. I asked around and found out that you ran off with a widow. How come you came back to me now that the widow doesn't want you anymore?"

He Daqing's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He was widowed at an early age, and had some money as he was a good cook.

So I often hang out in these places of fireworks.

Sister Hua was one of his lovers back then.

As the saying goes, a man's mouth is deceiving.

When He Daqing and Sister Hua were having a hot relationship, sweet talk was inevitable.

As for whether he had ever said he would marry her, He Daqing himself couldn't remember.

"Lotus, why are we still talking about this at our age? By the way, how have you been these years?"

"Okay, I shouldn't have expected anything from you back then."

Lotus snorted coldly and said resentfully:

"No one calls me Lotus now. My sisters all call me Sister Hua. After Sister Zhao passed away, I am now taking over her job."

"Sister Zhao is dead? As far as I remember, she was only about ten years older than you, right?"

Sister Hua glanced at He Daqing with a half-smile and said faintly:

"She died of a dirty disease."

When He Daqing heard this, his heart immediately sank.

Sister Hua looked straight at He Daqing and asked with a smile:

“Brother He, are you here to patronize the sisters’ business tonight?”

He Daqing was so scared that he didn't have any thoughts.

"Haha, I'm just stopping by to see you, aren't I?"

As He Daqing was speaking, he caught a glimpse of a man walking into the alley.

He couldn't help but frown and pulled Sister Hua to hide in a corner.

After that person passed by, he came out with Sister Hua.

"Lotus, who is that man?"

Lotus looked at it with disdain and said:

"A new guest is obsessed with one of our girls. Now he is being played around by her."

That person was none other than Yi Zhonghai.

He Daqing watched Yi Zhonghai walk into a room, thinking about something.

He then narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly and said to Sister Hua:

"Lotus, how about doing me a favor, Brother He?"

"What do you want to do?"

He Daqing pointed at Chuntao's house and said:

"Help me set up a trap for that man. You should know a few girls with dirty diseases. Just find one to accompany the old guy for a night."

Sister Hua looked in the direction of Yi Zhonghai and couldn't help but frowned:

"Brother He, do you have a grudge against him?"

"That guy is a family with no descendants. He was the one who planned for me to leave Sijiu City. He also planned for my two children to turn against me and provide for his retirement. If I hadn't been lucky, he would have really tricked me. Do you think there is no hatred between him and me?"

Although He Daqing said that his feud with Yi Zhonghai was settled.

But if there is a chance to trick Yi Zhonghai, he will not let it go.

"But Brother He, that man is a big customer of ours. He spends several dollars a night on Chuntao. If you do this, you will cut off my source of income. And if Chuntao gets sick, customers will be afraid to come in the future."

He Daqing touched his chin and thought to himself that this was true.

"However, you guys should set up a trap to defraud him of all his money. Once he has no money left, he will be of no use to you."

Sister Hua thought this was feasible.

"Okay, brother He, leave this to me. But I've helped you so much, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

He Daqing directly took out twenty yuan and handed it over and said:

"This is a deposit. I will reward you handsomely after the matter is completed."
