Chapter 174 The story is very vague
According to He Daqing, the chairman of the maintenance association at that time loved the food He Daqing cooked, so he often asked He Daqing to come to his house to cook.
He really met a lot of people there.
Like the nouveau riche, the street thugs, those who used to beg for money, and some who came to pay tribute.
Logically speaking, people like those who did evil before liberation were dealt with by the bald men and us in turn.
But it is inevitable that one or two fish will slip through the net.
What He Daqing encountered was just such a fish. If it was a small fish or shrimp, He Daqing would not have run away. Maybe he could have reported it directly to the institute and made some small contribution.
But according to He Daqing's observation, the fish was still a big fish, the kind that would eat people.
At least according to what He Daqing had heard, that person was a big shot. The family surnamed Lu in the alley had to politely call him "old leader" when they met.
But this person was a frequent visitor to the residence of the then maintenance chairman, and he would chat and laugh with them every day.
He Daqing recognized the other person, but he didn't know whether the other person recognized him or not. He also didn't know whether that person was our undercover agent at the time or had concealed his identity at the time.
But at that time, He Daqing must have had something on his mind and was worried every day.
If that were all, He Daqing would just keep it to himself and muddle through.
But something happened later that made He Daqing decide to leave.
A concubine of the chairman of the maintenance association, after her life became unbearable, was taken in by a black-foot patrolman on the street and became his concubine.
After being abandoned due to old age and fading beauty, she became a half-closed door on the street.
"... You must have heard about the incident two years ago. The woman tied a belt to the door bolt and killed herself.
To be honest, my dad tried it at home, and at that height, he wouldn't die if he sat on the ground and slightly stretched his neck.
How much pain must that woman have gone through, that she strangled herself to death without even struggling?
During that time, my father had nightmares every day. I dreamed that the woman came to me and said that she died unjustly and that I would be the next one.
····
It just so happened that the White Widow was nagging me to go back to Baoding with her, so Dad got excited and went straight there." He Daqing finally finished his story, and there were four or five more cigarette butts on the ground.
He Yuzhu listened to this thrilling story and for a moment he didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
Logically speaking, He Yuzhu believed that what He Daqing said was true.
Since He Daqing sent money back in his previous life, we should know that he still has some feelings for his brother and sister.
Baoding has convenient transportation to Sijiucheng. Even if He Daqing wants to hide from his brother and sister, it is normal for him to come here secretly, take a sneak peek, and ask acquaintances about how the brother and sister are doing.
But in his previous life, He Daqing never came back.
He Yuzhu moved his mouth, but found that his throat was dry and his voice was hoarse.
He Yuzhu asked: "Do you know which department that person is from? What's his last name?"
He Daqing shook his head and said, "I encountered him once when the son of the Lu family was entertaining guests.
Old Man Lu said that the man was the leader of his son.
At that time, the son of the Lu family had just moved into his new house and started cooking, so they invited the leader to come and help support the situation.
As for the rest, I didn’t dare ask too much about it. Besides, Old Man Lu might not know the answer.”
"Did that person recognize you?" He Yuzhu asked again.
He Daqing hesitated and shook his head, but said: "Probably not, you also know the temper of Old Man Lu in the alley, like our entire alley's neighbors are not taken seriously by him.
If it were someone else's house, the host might even ask the cook to go up and offer a toast.
But the Lu family didn’t.
I was afraid that he would taste the food I cooked and find out about it.
After all, we cooks rely on our reputation to make a living on the street."
He Yuzhu felt a bit of a headache after hearing this.
He still doesn't want to believe how he could have been involved in such a thing.
There was a poisonous snake staring at me in the dark. It would have been fine if I didn't know. But now I know it, but the key is that I don't even know the other party's information.
I just know that He Daqing met Old Man Lu's son once.
How could He Yuzhu find out?
At first, He Yuzhu wanted to find out who this person was and then report it to Comrade Xia in order to dig out this cancer.
But I can’t get any detailed information from He Daqing!
If other people had not noticed the He family, they would have been alerted.
Considering He Daqing's reputation on the street, it wasn't difficult to find out where he was.
He Yuzhu kept on clicking his tongue, but He Daqing consoled him: "Don't worry, since he hasn't looked for you or me in the past two years, maybe he hasn't noticed me.
After all, I wasn’t the private chef of the maintenance chairman’s house at that time.
I don't stay there every day, so people may not notice me.
I am telling you something today, just as your master said, there are some things that I, as your father, must explain to you and Yu Shui.
It must have been Dad's fault that he went to Baoding.
I mentioned to the White Widow the idea of taking you and your sister over there.
The White Widow refused to do so.”
He Yuzhu almost laughed out of anger when he heard He Daqing's aggrieved words.
However, seeing that He Daqing was in such a bad mood, He Yuzhu held back his sarcasm.
Things have come to this. He hated him all his life in his previous life, and his future comfortable life in this life has been ruined by He Yuzhu.
There's no point in hating anymore.
He Yuzhu let out a sigh of frustration and asked, "What's going on between you and the White Widow?
If you don't want to come back to our house, what will you do in the future?"
He Daqing lowered his head at this time, but told the story of the White Widow again.
When it comes to confronting the White Widow, He Daqing still said reluctantly: "I originally thought of bringing up the matter to control her family, but no one expected that the White Widow's cousin was such a ruthless person that he actually wanted to kill people to silence them.
There's nothing I can do.
If I really stay there, nothing good will happen.
He simply took this opportunity to sever his relationship with the White Widow.
As for my affairs, you don't have to worry about them.
Your father and I have skills, so we can go anywhere in the world.
There is a senior brother in Tianjin who is doing quite well, and he asked me to go over there two years ago.
After I returned to Sijiu City, I also called him. He needed someone.
I will write to you again when I am settled there."
He Yuzhu nodded, affirming He Daqing's approach.
At this moment, he had some vague ideas in his mind.
But it’s still too far to say that now.
I could only shake my head and give up this idea for the time being.
Instead, he smiled and said, "White Widow, are you just going to let it go?"
When He Daqing heard this, he raised his head and blurted out, "Grandma, those cheap siblings want me dead, so why should I just let it go?
While I was on the train, I wrote a letter and reported what the White Widow's cousin had done to the street.
Even if we can't kill him, we'll at least make him lose a layer of skin. ..."
