Chapter 232 Wang Feng enlightens He Yushui
When Wang Feng and Qin Jingru arrived at He Yushui's room, Wang Feng knocked on He Yushui's door.
"Knock knock knock".
"Rain, it's me, Wang Feng. Please open the door."
He Yushui opened the door, and Wang Feng and Qin Jingru went inside.
Wang Feng handed He Yushui the 2780 yuan, plus the 500 yuan compensation that the postman Xiao Zhang had given him earlier, totaling 3380 yuan, along with the compensation agreement.
"Here's the total for Rainwater, 3380 yuan. Also, here's a voluntary compensation agreement written by Yi Zhonghai. Keep it. Your sister-in-law Jingru has cooked a meal. Why don't you come and eat with us?"
He Yushui didn't take the money. She wiped away her tears and looked at Wang Feng, saying:
"Brother Wang Feng, didn't we agree before that you would keep this money for me?"
"Rainwater, so much money, are you really comfortable leaving it with me?" Wang Feng asked again.
"Yes, Brother Wang Feng, I believe you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that my dad had been sending us living expenses, and I wouldn't have received so much compensation."
Wang Feng sighed, counted out 80 yuan, and handed it to He Yushui.
"Hey, take this 80 yuan first. Come back to me when you've used it up. If I'm not here, you can ask your sister-in-law Jingru."
"Um."
He Yushui did not refuse this time. She took the 80 yuan and put it in her pocket.
"Let's go, we haven't had lunch yet."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Wang Feng, and thank you, Sister-in-law Jingru."
The three arrived at Wang Feng's house, and Qin Jingru went to cook. Wang Feng poured He Yushui a cup of tea, but it was made with ordinary tea leaves.
"Rain, are you really going to sever your sibling relationship with your brother?"
He Yushui nodded, saying bitterly, "After I found out about this at the post office, I wanted to report it to the police directly, but I wanted to see what my brother's attitude would be. He disappointed me so much. He actually hit me for Yi Zhonghai? I hate him to death!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng shook his head speechlessly.
"Your brother is indeed quite foolish, no wonder your dad calls him 'Foolish Pillar.' But it's also because Yi Zhonghai is too cunning. You saw it yourself, Yi Zhonghai and his wife kept saying how good they've been to 'Foolish Pillar' all these years, and they persuaded your brother with just a few words."
"Sigh, this fool Zhu, I really don't know what to say to him. He only made Yi Zhonghai pay two thousand yuan? If it were me, I would make him pay at least twenty thousand yuan, not only emptying his entire fortune, but also making him work every month to pay off his debts."
"I saw Sha Zhu fighting Yi Zhonghai with all his might before, and at first I thought highly of him, but I didn't expect it to be like this?"
"Rain, it's good that you cut ties with Sha Zhu. Anyway, you have so much money now, and your dad sends you living expenses every month."
"And also, Rainwater, don't think that just because Shazhu raised you, you owe him anything. Let me tell you, Shazhu borrowed 1500 yuan from Yi Zhonghai before, and he got the IOU back this time, so he doesn't have to pay it back. Think about it, over the years, has Shazhu ever spent 1500 yuan on you?"
He Yushui shook her head. Let alone 1500 yuan, her brother would be lucky to have spent 500 yuan on her, probably 300 to 400 yuan at most, and that includes tuition fees.
"Brother Wang Feng, Yushui, dinner's ready."
Wang Feng wanted to give He Yushui some more advice, but Qin Jingru interrupted him.
"Rain, eat first. Try your sister-in-law Jingru's cooking. Let me tell you, don't underestimate your sister-in-law Jingru. Her cooking is much better than Shazhu's."
"Um."
He Yushui nodded her head, took the rice that Qin Jingru served her, and forced a smile.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Jingru."
"You're welcome, Rainwater, eat more."
Qin Jingru put a piece of Kung Pao Chicken on He Yushui's plate and a piece of chicken on Wang Feng's plate before they started eating.
At noon, Qin Jingru cooked two dishes, both made with chicken: Kung Pao Chicken and Braised Chicken Pieces.
He Yushui took a bite of chicken and her eyes widened immediately. There was really no comparison. Her brother, oh no, Sha Zhu, was far inferior to Jingru's sister-in-law's cooking skills.
She was starting to wonder. Wasn't Jingru's sister-in-law from the countryside? Where did she learn such excellent cooking skills?
He Yushui was unaware that because of her presence as an outsider, she used ordinary rice and only used about 60% of her usual cooking skills. Otherwise, He Yushui would have been absolutely astonished.
......
The Intermediate People's Court, the Yi family.
An older woman finished wiping Yi Zhonghai's wounds with medicinal wine, wiped away her tears, and wept bitterly, saying:
"Old Yi, what kind of mess is this? I told you a long time ago to return the money to Sha Zhu, but you wouldn't listen. Sha Zhu has been treating us like his own parents all this time. Now look what's happened, what are we going to do?"
Yi Zhonghai roared, "What do you know, you woman? If you weren't infertile, would I be acting like this?"
Upon hearing this, the older woman immediately burst into tears of grievance.
"Waaah, Lao Yi, I'm so sorry. How about we get a divorce? You can find someone else who can carry on the Yi family line."
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Alright, alright, Shufen, I was too harsh just now. Don't take it to heart. We've been married for decades, so let's not talk about divorce."
In fact, Yi Zhonghai did this not because he was planning to support Sha Zhu in his old age, but because he wanted money. Moreover, he was saving the money for Bang Geng. However, he never expected that Bang Geng was not his son.
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the middle-aged woman felt even more guilty. If she hadn't been unable to have children, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Old Yi, now Sha Zhu treats us like enemies. If it weren't for his old friendship, he might have called the police today. What would we do then? Why don't we go and adopt a child from an orphanage? You're only in your early fifties, we can raise the child without any problem."
Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply: "Let's talk about it later. I'll talk to Sha Zhu again in a few days when he's calmed down."
"Why!"
......
The Intermediate People's Court, at Sha Zhu's house.
Sha Zhu returned to the house and sat on the bed, his eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched, and veins bulging all over his body.
He never expected that the old man who usually treated him like a father would do such a thing to him. How could he accept this?
During this time, he had come to regard Yi Zhonghai and the older woman as his parents, but he never expected things to turn out like this.
It's all a lie, a complete lie! Qin Huairu is just trying to bleed him dry to support the Jia family, and Yi Zhonghai is just trying to provide for him in his old age. Liars, all of them are liars!
Sha Zhu suddenly realized that from the time he was born until now, the only person who had ever truly been good to him was his deceased mother. Everyone else who was good to him had ulterior motives. But his mother had been dead for a long time, and now there was no one in the world who was genuinely good to him anymore. Even his sister, with whom he depended on each other, was going to sever ties with him. How tragic was that!
