Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

"Oh, tell me!"

He Daqing also became interested. He also wanted to know what the connection was between this White Widow and Yi Zhonghai.

The second uncle took a sip of wine and a bite of scrambled eggs, then spoke slowly.

"Not long after you left, Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood at that time. He had just become the eldest uncle of the courtyard, so he invited me, who had just become the second uncle, to drink with him."

"Yi Zhonghai can't drink much. He gets a little drunk after just a few drinks."

"We talked about you and the White Widow. Yi Zhonghai said that you knew the White Widow and he introduced you to her, right?"

The second uncle stared at He Daqing and asked.

He Daqing nodded.

"I met the White Widow through Yi Zhonghai. Could it be that this White Widow and Yi Zhonghai...?"

The second uncle nodded.

"Yi Zhonghai said that this White Widow had actually had an affair with him a long time ago. Later, this White Widow pestered Yi Zhonghai and asked him to divorce her and marry her. Yi Zhonghai then decided to kick this White Widow out."

The third uncle had the typical expression of a spectator.

"Is it so exciting? Is this Yi Zhonghai playing so colorfully? "

The third uncle had also seen the White Widow. In terms of appearance and waist, she was no less beautiful than the Widow Qin in the courtyard.

This Yi Zhonghai is really lucky in love.

"Why did Yi Zhonghai choose a middle-aged woman instead of the beautiful Bai Guafu?"

He Daqing couldn't understand why anyone with a normal mind and eyes would choose the beautiful White Widow instead of the yellow-faced old lady.

The second uncle looked at the door and then spoke in a low voice.

"Yi Zhonghai said that whoever of the three sons of the White Widow gets involved will die, and he will not be the one to be taken advantage of."

After saying that, the second uncle looked at He Daqing. When the third uncle saw the second uncle's actions, he immediately understood something and also looked at He Daqing.

When He Daqing saw the two old men looking at him, he immediately knew what they meant.

Didn't he just say that he was the one who was taken advantage of?

He Daqing looked embarrassed and sighed, saying a little embarrassedly.

"It's also my fault. I was blinded by my crotch and was attracted by the beauty of the White Widow."

"Without a second thought, I followed the White Widow to Baoding."

"I didn't even know that she had three sons. When they let me go back, they had already married the White Widow."

Having said that, He Daqing took a sip of wine.

"I actually had my own reasons for leaving. If I hadn't left, what would have been waiting for my He family..."

He Daqing paused, stopped talking, stood up and said to the two uncles.

"Forget it, it's all in the past. It's too late to talk about this now. You guys eat slowly. I'm going back first."

After saying that, He Daqing left the second uncle's house.

When Yi Zhonghai just returned to the courtyard, he heard from his neighbors that He Daqing had returned from Baoding.

He was so scared that he ran out of the courtyard, fearing that He Daqing would come to settle the score with him.

When he introduced Bai Guafu to He Daqing, he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Bai Guafu's entanglement.

The second is to get He Daqing, a strong contender for the position of the big boss, out of the courtyard.

He also confiscated the living expenses that He Daqing had sent back for his children.

Any one of them would be enough for He Daqing to beat him half to death.

At this time, it is better to go out and hide. I believe He Daqing can't stay for a few days. The White Widow is still waiting for him.

He Daqing returned to the central courtyard and saw Jia Zhang.

Just a casual glare was enough to frighten Jia Zhang so much that she ran back home crawling.

When she was young, Jia Zhang thought that Old Jia was popular in the courtyard and was domineering.

Everyone in the hospital is afraid of her.

Only He Daqing never believes in himself. He slaps himself in the face whenever he wants. Old Jia and the others dare not say a word.

Now that the god of death has returned, Yi Zhonghai was so scared that he ran away crawling, and he decided not to get into this bad luck.

He Daqing turned around and went back to the He family, where the family was watching TV.

He Yuzhu took out a key and handed it to He Daqing.

"You go live in Yi Zhonghai's house. Clean it up first. No one has lived there for half a year."

He Daqing nodded, took the key, turned around and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

The room was covered with a layer of dust and there was a chill in the air; He Daqing couldn't help but shiver.

I picked up a rag and a basin, went to the central courtyard to get a basin of water, and started a simple cleaning.

He Yushui also came over holding a quilt and a pillow.

"Here, this is what my sister-in-law asked me to bring over. It's cold at night, so cover yourself with something thicker."

He Yushui put the quilt and pillow on the bed and turned to leave.

He Daqing took out a cloth bag and handed it to He Yushui.

"Yushui, I know you hate me, and I don't ask you to forgive me. I couldn't come back for your brother's wedding, but Dad will definitely come back to attend your wedding. This is your dowry, and Dad has been saving it for you."

He Yushui looked at the cloth bag handed to her by He Daqing, then looked at He Daqing's expectant eyes, and suddenly tears came to her eyes.

Fatherly love!

She really didn't feel it.

Maybe there was such a thing before, but I was too young and have forgotten it.

He Daqing stuffed the cloth bag into He Yushui's hand and continued cleaning the house.

"dad……!!!"

He Yushui finally called out the long-standing name.

She had called out this name countless times in her dreams, but each time the person she called out this name was always blurry and she had never been able to see the face clearly.

When He Daqing heard He Yushui calling him "Dad", he couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

My daughter has forgiven herself.

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried loudly.

"Why did you abandon me and my brother and run to Baoding?"

He Yushui has always been brooding over He Daqing's abandonment. Now that He Daqing is in front of her, she still wants to know whether the White Widow is really more important than her own children.

"A lot of things happened back then. If I hadn't left, my whole family would have been in danger of losing their lives."

He Daqing was still frightened when he talked about this.

"That was just two years after the liberation, when the country began to purge. Our family was classified as one of the four categories because we knew how to cook Tan's cuisine, which is also known as official cuisine. If I didn't sever ties with you, you two brothers and sisters would also be implicated."

In that crazy era, how many people fell on the steps of class identity division.

"The reason I went to Baoding to hide from you two was because I was afraid of getting you into trouble. I thought that if I sent you ten yuan every month, it would be enough for you two to eat and drink. But it made you two suffer."

He Daqing blurted out everything.

He Yushui just cried. These things were too far away from her.

"Rainwater, why haven't you come back yet? It's late at night."

He Yuzhu's voice came.

This is He Yuzhu coming to see his sister.

When I entered the room, I saw that both the father and daughter had red eyes from crying. However, looking at their positions, I could tell that their relationship had eased.

This is also what He Yuzhu is happy to see. In his previous life, the father and son could not reconcile, which has always been his pain.

"Yushui, go back. We can talk about it tomorrow."

He Yuzhu called his sister and went home.

He Daqing felt mixed emotions as he watched his children leave.

Yi Zhonghai escaped from the courtyard and didn't know where to go for a moment.

I could only walk to an alley and knock on a house's door.

A man about the same age as Yi Zhonghai opened the door yawning.

“Yi…Yi…Zhonghai!?.”

When the man who opened the door saw Yi Zhonghai, he was so surprised that he almost shouted out loud.

"Feng Liu, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to stay here for a few days. Come in quickly. It's quite cold. I bought some wine and food. Let's drink together."

Yi Zhonghai said as he squeezed into the yard.

This Feng Liu is a friend of Yi Zhonghai, and they haven’t been in touch for many years.

It’s also strange that Yi Zhonghai came suddenly today.

Feng Liu never married in his life. When he was young, he was just like Yi Zhonghai, always going to the Bada Hutong and ruining his health.

Yi Zhonghai works in a steel rolling mill. Due to his job, he is more restrained than Feng Liu, so he doesn't walk in a floating manner like Feng Liu does now.

When I entered the house, it felt like an ice cellar.

"Why don't you light the coal? Aren't you cold?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a little dissatisfaction, how can people live in this house in the middle of winter.

"The coal briquettes were burned out a long time ago, and I don't have the money to buy expensive ones, so I'll just have to make do with what I have."

Feng Liu said helplessly.

Because of his weak health, he didn't have a proper job and usually went out to do odd jobs to earn a living.

There wasn't much furniture in the house, just a broken table and a few wobbly chairs.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head after seeing this. The doghouse wasn't much different from this place.

Feng Liu closed the door and saw the wine and food brought by Yi Zhonghai on the table. He swallowed his saliva.

He quickly sat down, picked up a piece of braised meat with his hand and put it into his mouth.

'This is what meat tastes like. It's been a long time since I last ate meat!'

Feng Liu almost cried while eating. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last had meat.

Yi Zhonghai asked Feng Liu to take out two wine glasses, poured wine, and the two began to drink.

Feng Liu drank a few glasses and suddenly remembered something.

"Lao Yi, last time I went to the hospital to get medicine, I thought I saw you. I called you, but you didn't hear me."

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

"When did this happen?"

Feng Liu thought for a while and said.

"Not long ago, you were with a pretty woman, but she didn't look like Sister Li."

Feng Liu didn't know that Yi Zhonghai was divorcing his mother.

Yi Zhonghai just remembered it at this time.

"That's my new wife. She's pregnant, so I'm accompanying her to the hospital."

Feng Liuzheng picked up a piece of braised meat and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard that the beautiful woman was Yi Zhonghai's wife and was pregnant.

"Is that woman a widow?"

Feng Liu asked casually.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and asked in surprise.

"How... did you know that!!!"

Feng Liu said with a chuckle.

"You married the younger one after you divorced Mrs. Li."

"Look at yourself. Your hair is all white. That woman looks less than 30 years old. If she were a young girl, she would be attracted to you. So she must be a widow."

Feng Liu's words almost made Yi Zhonghai faint, but he was powerless to refute.

Feng Liu didn't care whether Yi Zhonghai could bear it or not, and continued.

"Do you know why you and Mrs. Li have been married for so many years but still have no children? What's the reason?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said.

"I know, isn't it because she has a gynecological disease that makes her infertile?"

Feng Liu shook his head and said.

"Do you still remember Doctor Jin, the doctor who treated you and me? He told me that Mrs. Li's gynecological disease was only one of the reasons, not that she was completely unable to get pregnant."

"The fundamental reason why you have not been able to conceive is still because of your heart disease. You are no longer able to have children!"

Feng Liu's words made Yi Zhonghai laugh out loud.

"Nonsense, if I'm infertile, how did Qin Huairu get pregnant?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it, Feng Liu didn't continue speaking, but just said it lightly.

"Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, just go to the hospital for a check-up. If you really are infertile, then the baby in your wife's belly...!!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and remained silent.

He could still believe what Feng Liu said.

They had carried guns together, been to jail together, and seen the world together. He had no reason to lie to himself.

"Is the child in that bitch's belly really not mine?"

The seed of Yi Zhonghai's doubt has been planted, and he decides to go to the hospital tomorrow to have a romance. If it really is a bastard, he will make Qin Huairu regret lying to him.

The He family's courtyard.

He Yushui sat at the table, crying as she spoke to He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye.

"Brother, do you think we should really forgive He Daqing?"

He Yushui has been wavering in his heart.

If I forgive myself for all the suffering I have endured over the years, it will all be in vain.

Don't forgive me.

But when I saw He Daqing's gray hair and wrinkles on his face, I felt soft-hearted again.

"Maybe he really had his own difficulties. After all, anything could happen in that era."

Ran Qiuye patiently advised that she didn't know what to do with her adopted father-in-law and could only persuade them to reconcile rather than break up.

After hearing what Ran Qiuye said, He Yuzhu also nodded.

"The fact that you can ask this question shows that you have forgiven him in your heart. There is no such thing as a family holding a grudge overnight."

After listening to her brother and sister-in-law's words, He Yushui finally felt relieved and took out a cloth bag from her bag. It was the dowry that He Daqing gave her.

"He gave this to me, saying it was a dowry for me."

I saw several thick stacks of money in the cloth bag, each note was ten yuan, and I estimated there were about four or five hundred yuan.

"Brother, he asked me to give it to you for safekeeping, saying that he would find an opportunity to divorce the White Widow. Now he knows who the White Widow is, and he will never help her again."

After He Yushui finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.

It started snowing outside again, and the north wind was blowing.

Qin Huairu was looking out the window, and she didn't know where Yi Zhonghai had gone.

But she didn't care about that. As long as Yi Zhonghai brought the money back every month, it didn't matter whether he came or not.

The next day, Yi Zhonghai went to the hospital. When he received the examination report, it was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely devastated.

"Sure enough, the baby in your belly is a bastard, okay, widow Qin! You are really cruel, just wait and see, I will make sure you lose your job in the factory."
