Chapter 561 He Daqing returns!

Chapter 561 He Daqing returns!
At around 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, a middle-aged man in his early fifties, carrying luggage, looked up at the gate of the courtyard in front of him. Thinking of the little things that had happened over the years, an expression of guilt unconsciously emerged on his face.

"He Daqing! Why are you back?" He Daqing had just walked into the front yard. Yang Ruihua, who was sitting at the door of Yan's house mending clothes, saw He Daqing carrying his luggage. A look of shock appeared on his face, and he blurted out to He Daqing.

He Daqing subconsciously stopped when he heard Yang Ruihua's shout. Looking at Yang Ruihua, who was shocked, he replied expressionlessly, "Old Yan's family, my home is here. I can come back whenever I want. Does it have anything to do with you?"

When Yang Ruihua heard He Daqing's answer, an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly explained, "He Daqing! That's not what I meant. I was just a little surprised to see you come back so suddenly."

He Daqing heard Yang Ruihua's explanation and did not argue with Yang Ruihua. He replied, "My son Shazhu is getting married tomorrow. As a father, I naturally have to come back."

After passing through the moon gate, He Daqing came to the central courtyard. When the aunties and young wives in the courtyard saw He Daqing appear, the aunties who knew He Daqing all had surprised expressions on their faces, while the young wives who did not know He Daqing were wondering in their hearts, who is this middle-aged man?
When Jia Zhang saw He Daqing, she was surprised at first. After a moment, she reacted and asked He Daqing, "He Daqing! Why did you come back so suddenly? Are you here to attend Sha Zhu's wedding?"

The reason why He Daqing came back at this time was because he received a letter from Sha Zhu, in which he learned that Sha Zhu was getting married this week and would hold a wedding banquet, so he took leave to come back.

Through the information Sha Zhu introduced in the letter, He Daqing learned that Sha Zhu was able to get so much compensation from Yi Zhonghai this time thanks to the help of Jia Zhang's eldest son.

When He Daqing heard Jia Zhang's question, he did not answer as he did to Yang Ruihua before, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family! Isn't Zhuzi getting married tomorrow? As a father, I naturally have to come back."

When Jia Zhang heard He Daqing's answer, she immediately introduced him to Liang Lali, who was sitting at the door of the He family: "From Zhuzi's family, this is Sha Zhu's father, your father-in-law He Daqing."

When Liang Lali heard the conversation between He Daqing and Jia Zhang, she immediately guessed that the strange middle-aged man in front of her was her father-in-law He Daqing!
When Liang Lali heard Jia Zhang's introduction, she immediately stood up from her chair and hurriedly greeted He Daqing, "Dad! You're back. Have you had lunch? If not, I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

As soon as He Daqing walked into the middle courtyard, he saw Liang Lali sitting at the door of her house.

When He Daqing heard Liang Lali's words, he showed a friendly smile on his face and replied, "You are Lali, right? I have already had lunch at the train station, so you don't have to worry about anything."

At this time, Sha Zhu was riding a tricycle from the steel mill's kitchen, carrying the food he bought from the Security Department's warehouse through Jia Dongming. He was humming a tune while riding towards the courtyard.

Soon Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard. When Sha Zhu pushed the tricycle into the front yard, Yang Ruihua saw the back of the tricycle filled with food. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He hurried forward to stop Sha Zhu and said to him, "Sha Zhu! Your father is back."

When Sha Zhu heard what Yang Ruihua said and learned about He Daqing's return, a happy smile flashed across his face, and he said to Yang Ruihua, "Aunt Yang! Isn't it normal for me to get married and my father to come back?"

Sha Zhu pushed the tricycle back to the middle courtyard very quickly. When he saw He Daqing sitting at the door of his house, he thought of his experiences over the years and a complicated expression appeared on his face. He shouted to He Daqing, "Dad! You're back." He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu pushing the tricycle in front of him and thought of what he learned from the police. He showed a guilty expression on his face and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! I received your letter and learned that you were getting married, so I asked for a few days off from work and came back."

"Brother Zhuzi! You're back. Come back to the house with us and chat first. Leave these things to me!" Liang Lali heard the noise coming from outside the house and immediately walked out of the house, greeting Sha Zhuzi with a smile.

When He Daqing left Sijiu City without a word, the lives of Sha Zhu and his sister fell into difficulties. At that time, Sha Zhu was filled with tremendous hatred towards He Daqing.

It was not until the police found him not long ago that Sha Zhu realized that although He Daqing left Beijing, he had never neglected them, but he had entrusted his care to the wrong person, which led to them suffering unprecedented hardships.

When Sha Zhu heard what Liang Lali said, he smiled and said to her, "Wife! The food in the car is for our feast tomorrow. Move the food to the kitchen first, and I'll clean it up later."

Sha Zhu said as he walked into the house with He Daqing and asked He Daqing, "How many days do you plan to stay this time?"

He Daqing saw that Sha Zhu didn't call him dad, and knew that Sha Zhu still had resentment towards him. He said with guilt in his heart: "Zhuzi! I only took four days off this time. I will take the earliest train back to Baocheng the day after tomorrow morning."

When Sha Zhu heard He Daqing's answer, he thought about how He Daqing had run off with the White Widow to Baocheng without even saying hello, so he asked He Daqing, "If you wanted to continue Xuan, you could have told us. Why did you just pack up and run away without even saying hello to us?"

When He Daqing heard Sha Zhu asking him why he went to Baocheng with the White Widow, he showed a guilty look on his face and explained to Sha Zhu: "Zhuzi! This matter is all my fault for trusting Yi Zhonghai too much, and I ended up being fooled by him."

When Sha Zhu heard He Daqing mention Yi Zhonghai, he curiously asked He Daqing: "You and the White Widow went to defend the city, what does this have to do with Yi Zhonghai?"

When He Daqing heard Sha Zhu asking about what happened back then, he thought about how Yi Zhonghai tricked him into going to the city to defend it, so he introduced Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! Your father was a famous chef in the city back then. Because of this, I was forced to cook by the Japanese invaders many times."

"One day, Yi Zhonghai suddenly told me that the higher-ups were investigating my background. I used to cook for the Japanese. If they found out, I would be the target of liquidation."

"At that time, I had to leave Sijiu City in order not to implicate you two brothers and sisters. What I didn't expect was that all this was actually a plan by Yi Zhonghai specifically targeting our family in order to find someone to take care of him in his old age."
