Chapter 419

Later, Liang Ladi discovered that Qin Huairu's gaze toward He Great Qing was also off.

It wasn't impossible that the old widow had set her sights on He Great Qing.

Sha Zhu nodded repeatedly: "Good, I know. Let's sleep quickly; I still have to go out to work tomorrow."

Actually, his heart had no such thoughts at all.

He Great Qing has now fallen into such a wretched state; where would an old woman find him appealing?

He still knew his own father somewhat.

He Great Qing liked young, beautiful widows, but in the big courtyard, there were no widows who met those conditions anymore.

Qin Huairu's conditions used to be passable, but Qin Huairu is now married to 449.

The only widow left was Jia Zhang Shi.

But Jia Zhang Shi was old and ugly; He Great Qing certainly wouldn't look favorably on her.

As for He Great Qing going to other courtyards to find widows, Sha Zhu never even thought along those lines.

Also in the central courtyard, at Yi Zhonghai's home.

Yi Da Ma and Yi Tie Niu were already asleep.

But Yi Zhonghai tossed and turned, unable to sleep; his heart was extremely uneasy.

He Great Qing has returned.

Sha Zhu already knows the truth from back then; he will certainly tell He Great Qing.

That old bastard He Great Qing, when he gets stubborn, is even more reckless than Sha Zhu.

If he comes to my house and comes to settle the score with me, what then?

If the deaf old lady were still alive, Yi Zhonghai could have let that wretched old woman take the blame for him.

·· ··· Begging for flowers ·····

But now, that wretched old woman, the deaf lady, has been dead for a long time; no one even knows where her body was thrown.

Sigh!

Yi Zhonghai tossed and turning, thinking only of this problem.

So much so that early the next morning, he didn't even eat, and hurried off to work at the Rolling Mill.

When He Great Qing got up in the morning, the sky was already fully bright.

He originally wanted to sleep a bit longer.

But he smelled the aroma of cooking coming from He Yushui's house across the door!

The scent was truly too fragrant; He Great Qing could no longer sleep.

"He Yushui lives so well, much better than Sha Zhu."

"Early in the morning, her family is already eating meat."

While He Great Qing dressed and washed, he kept staring at He Yushui's house.

"What are they eating?"

"Early in the morning, it seems they are eating fish?"

"That's so much oil; are they eating fried fish?"

"They don't know how to live frugally; that fish only needs to be boiled in clear water."

"Early in the morning, they put in so much oil; don't they know supplies are scarce now?"

"After you finish eating today, you won't be able to buy any tomorrow."

"But this fried fish must be delicious; I haven't had it in such a long time."

The more He Great Qing smelled that scent, the more he craved it.

Sha Zhu came to call him to eat.

He Great Qing looked at the white flour steamed buns, cornmeal buns, pickles, and cabbage stalks on the dining table, and instantly lost his appetite.

But he still ate.

He couldn't be picky; He Yushui and he were no longer related.

Whatever good things they ate, they wouldn't send any to him.

Liang Ladi also smelled the cooking aroma from He Yushui's house.

She deliberately said, "He Yushui just moved into her new home and is already making a feast of big fish and meat."

"After all, her own father is still here; she doesn't even know to send over a single bite."

"Uncle He, you've raised this daughter for nothing."

He Great Qing's face darkened.

For so many years, he had hardly raised this daughter at all; how could it be said he raised her for nothing?

"Even eating can't shut your mouth."

"We already cut ties yesterday; didn't you hear, or didn't you see?"

He Great Qing looked down on this daughter-in-law.

Mainly because yesterday she treated him like a beggar and even drove him away.

She publicly said she wouldn't support him in his old age!

If he hadn't said the house was under his name, Liang Ladi would never have agreed to let him stay.

Liang Ladi didn't care what He Great Qing said; she continued, "Does cutting ties really sever the blood relationship?"

"Who are you trying to fool?"

"He Yushui is now very close to Lu Jianye's family in the back courtyard; every day it's big fish and meat, and this has been going on for several years."

"She never sent a single bite of good food to her foolish brother before."

"I think she just wants to eat alone and deliberately cut ties with you."

He Great Qing suddenly brightened up upon hearing this.

That's not wrong either.

He ate five mantou and three bowls of Bai Caitang, yet still didn't feel full.

Putting down his chopsticks, he went out the door.

Shazhu asked, "Dad, where are you going?"

He Great Qing said grumpily, "To visit my daughter's house!" Yi.

249. Setting a trap for the father-in-law! He Great Qing falls for it!

Shazhu and Liang Ladi saw He Great Qing leave; the couple exchanged a glance and both smiled.

Just now, Liang Ladi deliberately sowed discord, wanting He Great Qing to go eat at He Yushui's house.

Shazhu had already seen through it and was very cooperative with his wife.

"Wife, do you think our dad will get beaten out of He Yushui's house?"

Shazhu quickly ate all the remaining mantou.

He was afraid that if He Great Qing got kicked out again later, he would fight him for the mantou.

Liang Ladi glared fiercely at Shazhu several times.

There were so many Bai Mianmantou, and the children hadn't even come up to eat yet, but he ate them all.

"He Yushui is your dad's biological daughter; so what if they've cut ties?"

"Can't a biological father go visit?"

Liang Ladi stopped eating too; he sat by the window, staring at He Yushui's house.

Yesterday, when He Yushui moved out of the small house, she was quite happy about it.

She had been eyeing that small house for a long time; she planned to use it for her son to marry a wife in the future.

He Yushui moved from a small house into a big house.

It was the house that used to belong to Qin Huairu's family.

This house had the best location in the Sihe Academy, and it wasn't small either; it had been empty "Six Two Seven" all along.

After Liang Ladi married in, she also learned that this house belonged to Lu Jianye's family in the back courtyard.

If it were someone else's house, she would have definitely gone to stay there.

Once moved in, she might not know when she'd have to move out; at that point, who the house belonged to would be hard to say.

But now seeing He Yushui move in, Liang Ladi felt extremely uncomfortable.
