Chapter 811: Chapter 812: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 60

He Yushui got up early in the morning and began to dawdle, "Sister, I don’t want to go back, let my dad go back instead."

"Or we can go back together." She was always worried she wouldn’t be able to handle the situation.

She wanted to go back too, but she still had work to do, especially this time she felt it was better not to be present.

"Yushui, if you go back late, aren’t you worried that Qin Huairu might coax your brother into signing the settlement agreement?"

"Also, transfer the house ownership sooner, and then have your brother give you ten yuan a month for rent."

"The money Yi Zhonghai embezzled, you take that too. No matter how your brother asks you for money, don’t give it to him."

"Your brother, a chef, doesn’t spend much on clothes or anything, so you should know who he is spending all that money on."

He Yushui nodded incessantly, "I know, I know, it’s spent on Qin Huairu."

"Right, his family isn’t actually that short on money, it’s just a habitual claim of poverty."

"As long as you are unwilling, no one can force you. Keep the money for yourself, whether it’s your private savings or for taking care of your brother when he’s old, you’ll need the money."

He Yushui kept nodding, "Sister, I know, I know."

"And study hard."

"If possible, you can work at the steel rolling mill, or go to the police station."

Actually, it would be great to work at a police station or similar units, as you’d have a hefty salary after retirement.

It’s a pity that the welfare benefits are so-so, "Just work close to home, so you can keep an eye on your brother."

"In time, with me and Xiao Li to teach you a few tricks, you’ll be able to handle your brother with ease."

They say once a man becomes a father-in-law, his aura changes and he becomes more effeminate.

Forgive her for being an ignorant child, even after having done N number of tasks, this was her first time dealing with a father-in-law.

He Yushui had no idea that Zhang Yu was actually bluffing her; she simply believed that everything Zhang Yu said was right, and following her sister made life joyful.

He Daqing went to get a proof of employment early in the morning, then hurried over and took He Yushui away.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhang Yu prayed in her heart, hoping that by the time she returned, the big issues would have been resolved.

"Forget it, time to get to work." There was no time to think too much; she came to Baocheng with real business to handle.

Zhang Yu, spirited, made her way to Baocheng Steel Rolling Mill.

On the way back to Capital City, He Daqing incessantly questioned He Yushui about the changes at the courtyard house after he left.

Although He Yushui was still a bit annoyed with He Daqing, she knew he hadn’t neglected them, as he mailed money every month; after Yi Zhonghai’s embezzlement, she started to think better of He Daqing.

Speaking up wasn’t likely, but she was willing to answer questions, and in this manner, through a series of queries and replies, they arrived at Capital City.

He Daqing also learned quite a bit—information that made him extremely angry.

Thinking about it made him mad, feeling that he should have no sympathy for that Sha Zhu kid.

Any sensible person wouldn’t be easily swayed by Yi Zhonghai, and even if you wanted to take care of supposed neighbors, you shouldn’t neglect your own sister.

Once at the hospital, He Yushui, as agreed upon earlier, lured First Elder away, then He Daqing appeared in the ward.

Ever since regaining consciousness, Sha Zhu’s mood hadn’t been great, appearing listless.

Seeing He Daqing, who had aged quite a bit from his memory, Sha Zhu was just about to curse, "Don’t say that I haven’t been thinking of you guys."

"The second month after I settled down in Baocheng, I mailed the allowance for He Yushui."

"From initially ten yuan to later fifteen yuan." He Daqing directly presented the hard facts.

He Yuzhu was just about to scold him for not caring about their sibling relationship when he heard this and was completely stunned.

"When did you send me money? When have you ever mailed money to me?"

"I never received it." Sha Zhu could be sure, "Yu Shui didn’t get it either."

He Daqing brought out the remittance receipt and the certification obtained from the Post Office.

"This is the remittance slip, with a note for Yu Shui’s living expenses, and as for you, I had already arranged a job for you before I left."

"I did go out of town, I didn’t neglect you all."

"I also wrote you several letters, but you never even bothered to write back."

He Daqing was also annoyed, "I originally thought you were angry because I went out of town..."

"You wrote me letters? I never received them."

"Besides, I later took Yu Shui with me to Baocheng to find you, but the White Widow wouldn’t let us in."

Thinking about it made Sha Zhu angry; overnight, everything had really changed. His father was gone, and the money was taken away too.

"I didn’t know." He Daqing had already heard from Yu Shui that they went looking for him, "Right, are you sure you didn’t receive this money?"

He Daqing asked again, "This is supposed to be Yu Shui’s living expenses."

"I didn’t take it." He Yuzhu got angry, "If I said I didn’t, then I didn’t."

"Fine, then write a declaration." He Daqing didn’t say what he wanted the document for.

He was just worried that if this kid’s mind got muddled, he wouldn’t want to write it.

He even has to write this? Of course, Sha Zhu was reluctant, but with He Daqing waiting right there, "If you don’t write, does that mean you have a guilty conscience?"

Sha Zhu was provoked by He Daqing, "I didn’t get it, so I really didn’t get it. I’ll write it."

Sha Zhu picked up pen and paper, wrote the statement, and handed it to He Daqing, "Here."

He Daqing looked it over carefully, then gathered the remittance receipt and the certification from the Post Office together carefully.

"I hope when the police come, you’ll still remember that Yi Zhonghai embezzled money that was meant for your sister."

"Don’t change your story at that time." After saying this, He Daqing left with the documents to report the case.

Watching He Daqing’s departing figure, Sha Zhu thought to himself: Police? That’s not good, is he going to file a report?

Just when he thought to stop him, Yu Shui came back by herself, "Where’s First Elder?"

"She went back." Yu Shui was still considering how to get First Elder to leave, but learning that she had already been here for quite a while, she let her go rest.

"Was it you who went to look for Dad?" Although Sha Zhu was dim-witted, he was capable of thinking things through.

He Daqing had always been in Baocheng, how could he know about his injury. If First Elder had taken the money, he would definitely hide it, he wouldn’t notify anyone.

It had to be Yu Shui who went to look for him, "First Elder has been very kind to us."

"He’s been kind to you, and to the Deaf Old Lady," Yu Shui needed to correct this, "If you go there, they would give you food, because you’re a boy."

"Sometimes when you come home late and there’s no food, I go to the Deaf Old Lady and to First Elder, no matter how much I knock, they just won’t open the door."

"I often go to Sister Little Yu’s place to eat."

"Yi Zhonghai takes the money Dad gave me each month, doesn’t give it to me, sometimes throws me a corn bread while endlessly praising himself in front of you."

"And they have the audacity to expect gratitude."

"Brother, I know Yi Zhonghai is nice to you, but has he not swindled you countless times too?"

"But you wouldn’t notice. I don’t feel like persuading you anymore," Yu Shui gave up, Sha Zhu was truly a fool.

"This money is what Dad gave to me, Yi Zhonghai has no right to take it."
