Chapter 418

After finishing the meal, Sha Zhu gave his own bedding set to He Great Qing.

In the small room, the grandfather and grandson whispered a few private words.

He Great Qing asked Sha Zhu: "All these years, how have you managed?"

"Have the people in the courtyard treated you well?"

"By the way, what about the Deaf Old Woman? Wasn't she always so good to you?"

"Why didn't she come out this time?"

"And Yi Zhonghai? Didn't you used to have a very good relationship with him? You were just one step away from calling him your own father."

Before He Great Qing left, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai already had a very good relationship.

His decision to leave the Sihe Academy with a heavy heart was partly due to this.

He could see that both Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Woman wanted Sha Zhu to support them in their old age.

So even if he abandoned Sha Zhu, these two old things would definitely take care of him.

Just hearing about these people made Sha Zhu furious.

He spoke angrily: "The Deaf Old Woman, that wretched old woman is already dead. No one even knows where her bones are; she was probably thrown out to be fed to wolves."

"That old thing Yi Zhonghai, I have also broken ties with him."

"Back in the day, the money and things you left for me were all swallowed by him and the Deaf Old Woman. He Yushui and I got absolutely nothing."

"These two old things conspired to deceive me into supporting them until their deaths!"

"After I learned the truth, I completely stopped caring about them."

248. Yi Zhonghai was scared away! Liang Ladi suspects: Is Jia Zhang Shi going to be my mother-in-law?

Sha Zhu told He Great Qing everything he knew about the truth and his experiences over the years in one go.

What?

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, He Great Qing was instantly stunned.

Back when he left, he indeed wasn't that heartless; he had left tens of yuan for his son and daughter.

Afterwards, in Baocheng, he would send them money every month.

But he never expected that all that money had been intercepted by Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Woman!

And these two old things spent his money while still deceiving his son!

This made He Great Qing feel deeply humiliated.

"That old childless man Yi Zhonghai, he actually dared to treat you like this! Just wait, I'll see how I deal with him!"

"And that wretched old woman, the Deaf Old Woman, she deserves it! She should be struck by lightning!"

He Great Qing could no longer sit still; he suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush out!

He wanted to settle the score with Yi Zhonghai and seek justice for his son!

Seeing He Great Qing like this, Sha Zhu felt deeply moved in his heart.

After all, he was his own father; hearing such facts, he still knew how to vent his anger on his behalf.

But now it was already dark, and everyone was almost asleep.

Sha Zhu was also very tired; he had to go pick up scrap tomorrow, so he stopped He Great Qing.

"Dad, you've had a tiring day too. You should rest well first."

"Yi Zhonghai is right here in this courtyard; he can't run away."

"We can settle the score with him; finding him tomorrow is fine too."

Of course, Sha Zhu wanted He Great Qing to go settle the score with Yi Zhonghai.

He had treated Sha Zhu like a fool for so many years!

Now that his father is back, he must humiliate him severely!

Of course, Sha Zhu must also take the opportunity to squeeze some money out of Yi Zhonghai.

Recently, Liang Ladi had always said that Sha Zhu earned his money through hard labor.

Working so tired every day, yet earning so little money.

Sha Zhu knew that Liang Ladi looked down on him for being a scrap collector.

This time, if he could squeeze some money from Yi Zhonghai, it might make Liang Ladi treat him a bit better.

Actually, He Great Qing was just putting on a show just now.

He definitely intended to settle the score with Yi Zhonghai, but not right now.

He was also tired after a day's work; now that he was full and well-fed, he just wanted to sleep well.

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, He Great Qing took the opportunity to step down from the situation.

The father and son parted ways.

Sha Zhu returned to his own home next door.

As soon as he entered the door, Liang Ladi spoke angrily: "Sha Zhu, I didn't expect you to deceive me."

"Back then, didn't you tell me you had no parents, not even a younger sister?"

"Now your family suddenly has an elderly father appearing, and he wants you to support him in his old age."

"Don't you know the current situation of our family?"

"With so many mouths to feed in the house, where is the money and grain to support your father?"

"Besides, don't you remember how your father treated you?"

"For so many years, you lived such a bitter life, yet he didn't care about you at all."

"Now it is obvious that he was abandoned by the widow over there, so he came to find you."

Liang Ladi spat a huge mouthful of saliva.

She had to make things clear with Sha Zhu beforehand.

Originally, the money Sha Zhu earned was enough to support his three children.

But now, this money must be shared to support a wretched old man.

Liang Ladi was unwilling.

Seeing Liang Ladi angry, Sha Zhu hurried to coax her: "Wife, don't be angry first, listen to me."

"Everyone in the courtyard knows my brother is back."

"You know the faces of these beasts in the courtyard."

"If I don't support my father, the Menkeshi Society will report me."

"Our family's conditions are indeed poor, but my father still has strength; he can work too."

"Rest assured, in a few days, I will take him to scavenge for scrap together."

"The two of us will definitely earn sixty yuan a month, which is even more than your salary."

"Our family's life certainly won't be bad."

Actually, Sha Zhu didn't want to support He Great Qing either.

On one hand, he was indeed forced by these people.

On the other hand, the house they currently live in is still under his own father's name.

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, Liang Ladi's attitude softened considerably.

If He Great Qing could also go out to earn money to support this family, then she wouldn't mind supporting him.

How much money can a wretched old man eat in a month?

Give him five corn buns a day, and in a month he only costs six yuan.

Even if you give him a few more good meals, it adds up to at most ten yuan.

And He Great Qing can earn thirty yuan a month.

The remaining money, he will hand over to me.

Liang Ladi thought this was good.

"Then you must keep a close eye on your father."

"In the past, he could abandon his own biological children for a widow and run off to Baocheng, a place so far away."

"Now that he is back, after eating and drinking his fill, perhaps he will marry a wife again."

Liang Ladi is indeed a smart person.

Just now, that one-eyed old cripple Jia Zhang Shi, the look in her eyes when she saw He Great Qing was not right.
