Chapter 115 This time and that time

According to what He Daqing said in the letter, Widow Bai also knew that if He Daqing directed all his resentment at her, her family would never have a good life.

If He Daqing turns against them and runs back to Beijing one day, the Bai family will lose their meal ticket.

So Widow Bai confessed to He Daqing everything about how she had received the letter and went to Sijiu City to hook up with He Daqing.

The White Widow still kept some things to herself regarding this matter.

At least she said that it was not the deaf old lady who contacted her, nor was it the Yi family. As for who it was, the White Widow refused to say.

According to the White Widow, people introduced her to a potential partner with good intentions, and the idea of ​​scheming against the He family was also the White Widow's own.

She couldn't do anything to let down the introducer.

Neither He Daqing nor He Yuzhu believed this statement.

But it is certain that this person is an acquaintance of the He family.

The White Widow didn't say anything, either because she had been caught with some evidence.

Or they really have a good relationship.

He Yuzhu believes it is the former.

He Yuzhu did not persuade He Daqing to come back. He knew the old man's mind and he did not believe that He Daqing did not see anything from the beginning to the end.

Maybe He Daqing also wanted to take this opportunity to change his lifestyle, which is also possible.

For example, in He Daqing's letter this time, he explained why he didn't come back.

The general meaning is that he learned that He Yuzhu was living a good life with Yu Shui, so he didn't need to come back.

So if people want to find an excuse, they can always find one.

After He Yuzhu returned to the yard, he also heard about the deaf old lady crying.

I became even more certain that the deaf old lady must be related to Commander Huang.

But at most he would report this matter to Comrade Xia.

This is because He Yuzhu has great trust in Comrade Xia, otherwise, He Yuzhu would not have mentioned this matter.

If you go into a remote alley to fight a dog, you are likely to be bitten by the dog.

No matter how good He Yuzhu is at fighting, he cannot withstand the attacks from others.

But he said that what he promised Director Wang would be done tomorrow.

He Yuzhu had nothing to do, so he simply took a whetstone and sharpened a few of his kitchen knives.

The first time he went to the steel rolling mill, it wasn't that He Yuzhu didn't want to sharpen the knife, but he was not sure at that time, so he avoided the neighbors in the yard for fear that someone would do something bad.

And now, of course, I am not afraid anymore.

But when Yu Shui saw He Yuzhu sharpening the knife, she stopped him.

The little girl said in a low voice with a look of fear on her face: "Brother, you can't do that!"

He Yuzhu was a little confused and said, "If I don't do that, what will you eat? How can we buy watches and clocks?"

"Ah? You still want to rob money?" Yu Shui was so anxious that tears came out.

He Yuzhu looked at Yu Shui's anxious face, took a deep breath and asked, "Tell me first, what am I going to do?"

Yu Shui said hesitantly: "Don't you want... the old lady?"

Yu Shui pulled his hand horizontally on his neck, and He Yuzhu's face turned black. He thought for a moment and asked: "Where did you see the comic book? Who said that sharpening a knife means killing people?"

Yu Shui avoided his gaze, but was slapped by He Yuzhu, who scolded him: "You don't read serious books, but you are always right when you read these things.

I'm sharpening my knife to prepare for cooking tomorrow, what nonsense?" Yu Shui has recently become obsessed with comic books, and this is also He Yuzhu's fault. He Yuzhu didn't keep Yu Shui's New Year's money for the little girl like other parents did.

These days there are book stalls like this, either selling or renting books, and since most of the comic books were compiled before the liberation, there are good and bad books, and there is a mix of everything.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, although Yu Shui was hit with a chestnut and was punished by He Yuzhu to copy the new words she had learned ten times, she was still very happy. At least her brother would not do such a risky thing.

However, the rain's mischief did serve as a reminder to He Yuzhu.

The deaf old lady has been so traumatized that she might do something bad. It seems that my brother and sister should keep a low profile in the yard for the time being.

In fact, He Yuzhu was not the only one who was wary. For example, the first thing Xu Fugui did when he returned home was to warn Xu Damao to keep a low profile in the yard and not to act arrogantly.

During this period, the Xu family continued to serve the Lou family with the same attitude as they had agreed before the New Year.

The few people who followed Lou Bancheng to Tianjin were basically the ones who had followed the Lou family before liberation.

Logically speaking, they should all be credible.

But one of them, either because he saw through Lou Bancheng's actions or because he really had something to do, went back to his hometown to visit his relatives.

Xu Fugui has been paying attention to this matter and took a half-month leave. Now a month has passed.

But the person hasn't come back yet. Yesterday, Lou Bancheng asked Xu Fugui to go to the place where the family lives to inquire. If they encounter any difficulties, let Xu Fugui help if he can.

If Xu Fugui can't help, he can inform the Lou family.

Xu Fugui really went there yesterday, but didn't find out anything.

According to that colleague's neighbor, the family left in a hurry, saying that there was a funeral in their hometown for their elder, and they had to go back to attend the funeral.

Xu Fugui felt heavy-hearted, and he did not tell his family about this.

When a man encounters such a thing, he always wants to take the responsibility himself instead of letting his family worry about it.

Xu Fugui has not reported this matter to Lou Bancheng yet.
In things like this, Xu Fugui thought it was a misunderstanding, but he felt that the possibility of a misunderstanding was very small.

For example, the few people who went to Tianjin before the New Year were in a similar situation to the Xu family.

That is, a good income, a stable family, and a home and children.

Now is the time for children to go to school.

People at their level are different from other neighbors in the yard. They know the importance of knowledge.

Just like Xu Fugui, if Xu Damao was not really not cut out for school, Xu Fugui would have sold everything he had to give up his son.

But that colleague's children did not ask for leave, and did not even sign up.

Based on this, Xu Fugui came up with two possibilities: either the colleague ran away with his entire family.

But looking at Lou Bancheng's elegant and peaceful face, another possibility emerged in Xu Fugui's mind.

~That family may no longer be here.

Although Xu Fugui couldn't find any evidence to confirm his guess, the less evidence he had, the more he would speculate.

"Old Xu, Old Xu? What are you daydreaming about?" Seeing Xu Fugui coming back from outside, and apart from giving Xu Damao a good beating, he just sat there in a daze, Xu's mother couldn't help but become concerned.

Xu Fugui was awakened, but he shook his head to make himself more sober and said, "No, I was just thinking about something.

By the way, didn’t you say that Mrs. Lou wanted to meet our Damao? Find a chance to bring Damao to see Mrs. Lou.”

"Well, didn't we say that we should keep a distance from the Lou family?" Mother Xu still cared about her son and asked hesitantly.

　Thanks for the leisure time.
