Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 235 He Daqing leaves 49 cities with compensation money

After He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai agreed on the compensation amount, Yi Zhonghai went to the bank to withdraw the money, which left the old woman heartbroken and slumped to the ground.

Four thousand yuan is all the money their family has left. Without their retirement savings, what will they do in the future?

After Yi Zhonghai left, He Daqing looked at Wang Feng, patted him on the shoulder, then glanced at Qin Jingru beside him and laughed loudly:

"Wang Feng, it's been years! You've grown so much, and you've even married such a beautiful wife. I heard about what happened from Yu Shui. Thank you, Uncle He. Come on, let's go back inside with Uncle He and have a good talk."

"become."

Wang Feng said to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, you go back first, I'll be back soon."

Ok.

When everyone in the courtyard realized there was no more good to see, they all dispersed, leaving only an elderly woman sitting on the ground, heartbroken. Fortunately, Jia Dongxu helped her back inside, otherwise she would have definitely caught a cold.

Wang Feng followed He Daqing to Sha Zhu's house. He Daqing invited Wang Feng to sit down and went straight to the point:

"Wang Feng, I heard from Yu Shui that Yi Zhonghai and the money that the postman Xiao Zhang lost in compensation were entrusted to you for safekeeping, is that right?"

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "It's with me, a total of 3300 yuan. Uncle He, do you want it back?"

He Daqing waved his hands repeatedly: "Wang Feng, Uncle He is grateful to you for helping Yushui save this money. Don't worry, Uncle He has heard everything from Yushui about your situation."

As he spoke, He Daqing gave Wang Feng a thumbs up again: "You're much better than Sha Zhu. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving this money with Sha Zhu, but I'm completely at ease keeping it with you."

Sha Zhu felt indignant when he heard his father belittle him like that, but he knew his father's temper and didn't dare to say anything.

"Wang Feng, Uncle He called you here. First, to thank you for exposing Yi Zhonghai's true colors, which allowed Yu Shui and Sha Zhu to learn the truth, so they went to Baoding to find me and bring me back."

"Secondly, I want to ask how you found out about Yi Zhonghai embezzling living expenses. Don't worry, Uncle He won't say anything, and neither will Yushui and Shazhu. Yi Zhonghai won't know. It was you who took Yushui to the post office to check on the living expenses."

"Hehe, it's like this, Uncle He. I saw the postman delivering letters to Yi Zhonghai a lot before. I was just curious. Uncle He was so good to Yushui and the others before. Even if you're gone, you can't just abandon them, right? So I went to the post office to ask. I didn't expect the post office staff to actually find out that you've been sending living expenses to Yushui and the others every month. That's why I told Yushui the truth." Wang Feng said casually.

As for Yi Zhonghai, even if they knew he was the one who brought the rainwater to the post office, so what? Would he be afraid of Yi Zhonghai? If he hadn't wanted to see the commotion in the courtyard, he would have killed him long ago.

Upon hearing Wang Feng's explanation, He Daqing frowned slightly. It didn't sound like the truth, but since this matter was beneficial to their family, he didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing that everything was alright, Wang Feng immediately took his leave: "Uncle He, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb your family reunion any longer."

He Daqing nodded: "Okay, Wang Feng, if I didn't have to rush back to Baoding later, I would definitely have a couple of drinks with you tonight. If you can help out in the yard after the rain, please do so. Thank you, Uncle He."

"Don't worry, Uncle He. Yu Shui has helped me before. If Yu Shui encounters any difficulties in the future, I will definitely help if I can." Wang Feng smiled and nodded in agreement.

With that, Wang Feng opened the door and went out.

Looking at Wang Feng's retreating figure, Yu Shui's eyes were filled with gratitude. If it weren't for Wang Feng, she would still be kept in the dark by Yi Zhonghai, and she might never have gone to Baoding to find her father.

......

After closing the door, He Daqing launched into a tirade of abuse at Sha Zhu, which lasted for a full half hour before he finally let out a long sigh.

Sha Zhu is already useless; he can no longer even carry on the family line. Now, all his hopes can be placed on Yu Shui.

He's only 50 years old this year. It seems he still needs to go back to Baoding and work hard. Maybe he can have another child to continue the He family line.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Zhonghai knocked on Sha Zhu's door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Rain, go open the door."

He Yushui opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai; her face immediately turned cold.

Yi Zhonghai walked into the room, took out a paper package from his pocket, handed it to He Daqing, and said with a wry smile:

"Daqing, here is 3500 yuan and two small yellow croakers. This is all my possessions."

He Daqing didn't even glance at Yi Zhonghai, took the money and started counting it. After confirming it was exactly 3500, no more, no less, he spoke in a deep voice:

"Yi Zhonghai, you can write a voluntary compensation agreement now and then get out of here. From now on, the affairs of the He family will have nothing to do with you."

Yi Zhonghai nodded bitterly.

Soon, Yu Shui brought paper and pen, and Yi Zhonghai quickly wrote out the voluntary compensation agreement. He Daqing took it and waved at Yi Zhonghai as if shooing away a fly.

Yi Zhonghai left Sha Zhu's house. Before leaving, he glanced at Sha Zhu one last time, but Sha Zhu didn't even look at him, which made him feel incredibly lonely.

After closing the door, He Daqing glanced at Sha Zhu, sighed, counted out two hundred yuan, handed it to Sha Zhu, and began to curse:

"Shazhu, take these two hundred yuan. Let me tell you, after I leave, if you dare touch a single penny of Yushui, or dare to bully Yushui, I'll chop you up alive when I get back, you hear me?"

"Okay." Sha Zhu pouted, took the money, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Shazhu, it doesn't matter who's right or wrong in your affair with Xu Damao anymore. If you really can't help but want to take action against Xu Damao, then you have to go all out and kill him with one blow. Otherwise, don't do it at all. Also, think carefully before you do it, so that no one can find any evidence against you, understand?" He Daqing instructed.

"understood."

He Daqing looked at He Yushui with a guilty expression and said, "Yushui, Dad is going back to Baoding soon. You still have more than three thousand yuan with Wang Feng. Dad won't give you any money this time. These two small yellow croakers can't be taken on the train, so you can keep them. Hide them well and don't take them out to use unless absolutely necessary, understand?"

"Waaaaah."

He Yushui suddenly threw herself into He Daqing's arms, crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Dad, can't you just stay?"

He Daqing gently patted He Yushui's head and comforted her, "Yushui, Dad still has work to do over there and a lot of things to take care of. If you miss Dad, just send him a letter, and Dad will come back to see you when he has time."

After comforting He Yushui for a while, He Daqing finally calmed her down. Amidst He Yushui's reluctance, He Daqing resolutely boarded the train back to Baoding.

He Daqing returned this time partly to avenge his children, and partly for money—yes, for money, for Yi Zhonghai's money.

He knew Yi Zhonghai was rich, and with such a big handle on Yi Zhonghai, how could he possibly miss such a good opportunity? He was dirt poor in Baoding, and not only did he hand over his entire monthly salary, but even the living expenses he sent to Yushui were earned by taking on odd jobs outside.
