1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 329 Relief

He Daqing stood up holding the child, with a smile on his face, and responded: "Oh, it turns out to be Weiguo. You have grown so tall, and you look like your father. Come and sit down and talk to uncle!"

"Hey! Uncle He, have you just arrived home?"

"Yes, I just got home not long ago! I heard from Yu Shui that you helped them a lot, uncle, thank you here!"

"Uncle He, you're welcome. We are all relatives. Aunt Lanxiang is my second aunt's cousin. It's only natural for us to help each other!"

"So that's what's going on. Then I should thank you even more! You and your family are our He family's great benefactors!"

It was only then that He Daqing realized that the Li family had this kind of relationship with his daughter-in-law, and he felt even closer to Li Weiguo.

The two chatted politely about family matters. While He Yushui was putting the basket of vegetables into the kitchen, Li Weiguo approached He Daqing and said in a low voice, "Uncle He, I know you came back this time for other things besides visiting your grandson. I advise you not to worry about that."

He Daqing was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Then he reacted and asked in a low voice: "Weiguo, do you know something?"

Li Weiguo nodded slightly and said softly: "Uncle He, as far as I know, the police station investigated Yi Zhonghai last year, but was later obstructed and could not investigate further."

After being reminded by Li Weiguo, He Daqing's thoughts surged like the tide, and he suddenly remembered the memory fragment from last year.

At that time, some public security comrades did come to see him, but he did not think too much about it and just regarded it as an ordinary investigation and did not take it seriously.

However, after his daughter He Yushui wrote to him, he asked why the brother and sister had not contacted him for so many years. It was only when he saw his daughter's reply that he realized there was something fishy.

Now that Li Weiguo had reminded him of this, he realized that there must be someone behind Yi Zhonghai.

Then, he reacted quickly, looked at Li Weiguo anxiously, and asked: "Weiguo, what do you think we should do next?"

Li Weiguo looked determined, and he leaned closer to He Daqing and whispered, "Uncle He, don't worry. When you come back this time, Yi Zhonghai will definitely come to you on his own initiative. You just need to wait quietly and do nothing. He will be confused and will come to you by himself."

He Daqing nodded slightly upon hearing this, secretly thinking about what to do next.

He came back this time to question Yi Zhonghai why he treated his children like this.

Even if Yi Zhonghai didn't come to him on his own initiative, he would never give up.

However, Li Weiguo's mention of the initial obstruction of the investigation did serve as a reminder to him.

This Yi Zhonghai is definitely not as simple as he seems. If he is forced into a corner, Yi Zhonghai will do something desperate and harm Sha Zhu and his wife.

Thinking of this, He Daqing clenched his fist and responded: "Weiguo, Master knows, I won't act rashly."

Just at this moment, He Yushui came out of the kitchen.

Li Weiguo immediately changed the subject and said to He Daqing with a smile: "Uncle He, your family must be short of housing when you come back this time, and Yu Shui is a girl, so why don't you stay at my house. I live alone in the east wing of the front yard, and it's convenient for us both men to live there."

He Daqing had originally been thinking of staying at a guesthouse, but when he heard Li Weiguo's invitation, he couldn't help but feel tempted.

He thought that it would be much more convenient if he could live in the yard, and he would also be closer to his eldest grandson and be able to see the child at any time.

Before he could answer, He Yushui responded excitedly: "Okay, okay, Li Weiguo, your idea is really good. Dad, you can go live in Weiguo's house. He lives in the east wing, which is very spacious."

He Daqing looked at his daughter's happy face, and also looked at Li Weiguo's sincere expression, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Weiguo, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll stay in your room tonight. I'll stay there for a few nights."

Li Weiguo smiled and agreed: "Sure, no problem, Uncle He, you guys go ahead and I'll go back to the house to clean up, see you in the evening."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the He family.

He Daqing held his grandson in his arms and sent Li Weiguo out with He Yushui: "Weiguo, why don't you stay and eat dumplings with us! Your aunt Lanxiang is making dumplings now!"

"No, Uncle He, it's rare for you to come back and have a good time with your family. We'll have plenty of opportunities to eat together in the future. I know Uncle He is a good cook, and I will definitely not miss this opportunity!"

"Okay, I'll trouble Weiguo tonight!"

As soon as he came out of He's house, Li Weiguo keenly felt that someone was staring at him closely.

He looked in the direction he felt and saw an old lady sitting at the door with Xiaodang.

There seemed to be some inquiry in that look.

Li Weiguo nodded to the old lady naturally as a greeting, and then left the courtyard with steady steps.

Sha Zhu finished his day's work and set out on his way home with tired steps.

Along the way, he was thinking about what to cook when he got home, completely unaware that a huge surprise was waiting for him at home.

When he walked into the yard that day, he learned from the third aunt that his father He Daqing had returned.

When his steps paused unconsciously, an inexplicable feeling came over him.

Sha Zhu's mood became complicated and his steps became a little heavy.

He walked slowly into the middle courtyard, and every step seemed to be filled with memories and entanglements.

To be honest, his life has become warm and beautiful since he married Chen Lanxiang.

Chen Lanxiang also counselled him many times, allowing him to gradually let go of some of his resentment towards his father.

But at this moment, thinking about facing his father He Daqing soon, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

At that time, He Daqing resolutely left him and his sister He Yushui and followed the White Widow to Baocheng.

At that time, Sha Zhu's heart was full of resentment and confusion.

He felt abandoned by his father, and only he knew the pain and loneliness.

However, as time went by, he got married and had children, and gradually he began to understand his father's original choice.

He thought, if that person was Chen Lanxiang, he might make the same choice for love.

Thinking of this, the resentment in Sha Zhu's heart seemed to be alleviated a little, and he felt relieved and relaxed instead.

When he reached the door of his house, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the house.

The laughter made him feel dazed, as if he had returned to his childhood, when the whole family sat together in joyful times.

He took a deep breath and opened the door.

Inside the house, the lights were warm. He Daqing was holding his eldest grandson and teasing him, with a happy smile on his face.

Chen Lanxiang and He Yushui were busy serving dumplings to the table. When they saw Sha Zhu coming in, Chen Lanxiang smiled and said, "Zhu, you're back. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

When Sha Zhu saw this scene, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Okay, I'll come right away!"

His eyes met He Daqing and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Finally, he mustered up the courage and shouted, "Dad, you're back." There was a hint of strangeness in his words, but also a hint of relief.

He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu, with a hint of guilt and relief in his eyes: "Sha Zhu, you're back! Are you tired from work?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Dad, I'm not tired. I'm used to doing the same thing every day."
