Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 391 Waiting for the Stupid Pillar

"Master? Are you my senior brother?" He Daqing asked doubtfully.

"He Daqing, don't think about it. You don't know him. It was Sha Zhu who recognized the master. He is younger than Sha Zhu," Yi Zhonghai said. "Okay, let's stop here! Go do what you need to do. I don't have time to care about you!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai closed the door directly. He didn't want anyone to disturb his small life now. He wanted to go out to work later. As for revenge on Sha Zhu, he no longer had that thought. Now he just wanted to live his own small life, living one day at a time.

"Hey, this old Yi, he's getting more rude as he gets older," He Daqing cursed.

After cursing, he could only go back to his doorstep and squat down to wait.

"Grandpa, are we just going to wait like this?" asked the young man.

"Where are you going if you don't want to wait?" He Daqing said unhappily, "If you can't wait, just go back first. You won't leave even if I send you home."

"Old man, you are really... Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll wait, okay?" the young man said helplessly.

In this way, the two of them waited while hungry. After waiting for a long time, it was finally time to get off work, and people who worked in the courtyard came to the courtyard in groups of three or four.

Seeing someone sitting at the door of Sha Zhu's house, the people who came back pointed and talked about who this person was. Even Qin Huairu looked at him curiously, wondering who this person was.

"Huai Ru, did you see this? This is Sha Zhu's father!" Yi Zhonghai walked out and said, "I've been waiting here all afternoon. I've been waiting here since noon, and I'm waiting here again when I come back."

"Shazhu's father?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise, "Old Yi, are you saying this is He Daqing who abandoned Shazhu and his sister and ran off with the widow?"

"You didn't expect that! This might be a good show to watch." Yi Zhonghai whispered.

"He doesn't look that good! Look at him, his eye bags are like those of an old lady. How could a widow be interested in him?"

"Do you think people are attracted by his paralyzed face? They are attracted by his money and his cooking skills that make money," Yi Zhonghai explained.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Qin Huairu's thoughts instantly went back to the past. She had thought the same thing back then. She also had her eyes on Sha Zhu's craftsmanship and money, but...

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's mood suddenly turned bad, "Let's go back. When will Shazhu come back? There's no show to watch right now."

After watching for a while, the people around went home one after another. They also knew that there was no show to watch at this time.

After most people had left, it was getting dark. At this time, Yan Fugui and his wife came back carrying snakeskin bags. Seeing someone at Sha Zhu's door, Yan Fugui walked closer and looked at him.

After taking a look, he felt that this person looked a bit like He Daqing. Just when he was about to ask, He Daqing spoke up, "Yan Fugui?"

"He Daqing, are you He Daqing?" Yan Fugui exclaimed.

"Yes, I'm He Daqing. Have you just come back from get off work? That's not right! You should retire!" He Daqing asked.

"Alas, I am not destined to retire. You see, I don't even have a house now. The place I live in is rented from Lao Yi." Yan Fugui said, pointing at Yang Ruihua who opened the door.

"Where is your house?" He Daqing asked hurriedly.

"This is a long story. What happened? Why did you come back? Don't you want to live with the widow anymore? Or were you kicked out?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Dead, died a long time ago," He Daqing lied, "Isn't it because he missed his son that he came back to live with Sha Zhu?"

Yan Fugui didn't believe a word He Daqing said. He knew what was going on just by looking at his clothes.

But he was happy that He Daqing came back, at least it could give Sha Zhu some trouble, because he got his own house, even though he knew it belonged to Li Kangri.

"Really? That's great. Shazhu is now very powerful, very powerful! He is the richest man in our yard. He has many houses, even my house is his." Yan Fugui said.

"Old Yan, what is going on? I am confused. Are you talking about Sha Zhu?" He Daqing asked puzzledly.

"Well, it's hard to explain right now. I'm still hungry! I'll tell you in detail after I finish my meal."

"No! Old Yan, you won't ignore me like Old Yi, right? I'm hungry too, you can give me a meal." He Daqing said, "This idiot Zhu hasn't come back yet."

"No, Daqing, what kind of life am I going to have? Even eating is a problem, I can't afford it." Yan Fugui refused.

"Hey, you're still the same, stingy. Don't worry, I'll ask Shazhu to give you the money when he comes back, okay?"

"Haha, Daqing, don't blame me for speaking rudely. How can a fool like me care about you? I will write the word Yan for you backwards." Yan Fugui said contemptuously.

"He dares. I am his father. If he dares to be unfilial, I will beat him to death." He Daqing shouted.

"You, stop being stubborn. Look at yourself. You obviously came back because you have no other choice. What's the use of being stubborn?" Yan Fugui said with a smile.

"Look, old man, people have figured it out," said the young man.

"Who are you?" Yan Fugui asked.

"I'm from the Baoding Rescue Station. I'm here to send him here! It's been the whole afternoon, and his son hasn't come back yet," the young man complained. "Uncle, when does his son normally come back?"

"I'll be back at eleven o'clock." Yan Fugui replied.

"Okay, old man, I won't wait with you anymore. I'm going to go eat and come back to see you after I'm done. I'm almost starving."

Having said that, the young man was about to leave.

"No, take me with you,"

"Old man, I heard what you said just now. Your son may not recognize you, and the money I paid for it has not been settled yet! I will not care about you anymore."

"What nonsense! How can a son not recognize his father? Don't listen to his nonsense." He Daqing explained.

"Old man, you are the best man. This way my money will be settled. Please wait. I will come back at eleven o'clock."

After saying that, the young man ran away. Are you kidding me? How could I possibly invite him to dinner again?

After the young man left, He Daqing said helplessly, "Old Yan, you can ignore the meal, but can you give me some boiled water? I'm dying of thirst."

"That's no problem," Yan Fugui said, "Qing! Don't blame me. Look, my husband and I have to pick up garbage to fill our stomachs, so..."

"I know. Don't I know you?" He Daqing stood up and said, "By the way, tell me about Sha Zhu. Why do I feel that the Sha Zhu you are talking about is not my stupid son?"

So, just like that, He Daqing stayed in Yan Fugui's house and listened to what Yan Fugui said. After hearing about what Sha Zhu had experienced over the years, He Daqing was also sighing. However, Yan Fugui did not tell him that Yi Zhonghai intercepted the living expenses he sent to Sha Zhu. There was no way, Yi Zhonghai was his landlord, and he didn't want to get involved.
