"You're not going to go ask for it now, are you?"
"Of course not, let's wait a bit longer. I don't think He Daqing will just leave like this; something must have delayed him."
Yi Zhonghai believed he knew He Daqing quite well.
He's so destitute now that he has to shamelessly beg Zhao Ailing for food during the day.
And then, without any regard for the consequences, they borrowed money from them.
He has degenerated into a shameless old scoundrel.
This kind of scoundrel will definitely not let He Hongyang off the hook if he sees that He Hongyang is living a good life!
He was certain he would be back tomorrow!
He Daqing suffered from stomach pain all night outside the city.
He didn't return until the next day, dragging his exhausted body back.
I had diarrhea all night and now I have no strength left.
There was no food in his stomach, his legs were weak, and his face was deathly pale, like a wilted eggplant.
I had to spend two cents to get a bowl of porridge from the porridge shop.
Once the stomach is warmed up, a person feels more energetic.
It wasn't until now that he realized there was something wrong with the steamed buns he ate yesterday.
He started having stomach pains after eating 3717 steamed buns.
Why would those two girls be so kind as to give him steamed buns?
They seem very cunning; how could anyone believe that a few steamed buns would make him return to Baoding?
They must be trying to lure him outside the city, make him work all night, and prevent him from returning to the city.
He thought he could fool both girls.
I never expected to be scammed by them!
He Daqing clenched his fist and said angrily, "You actually dared to put laxatives in the steamed buns! I'll come back and find you!"
"I must find He Hongyang and tell him how awful his two sisters-in-law are, so he can kick you out."
But then I thought about it again.
He Hongyang had already blacklisted him.
If you go to him, he will definitely side with his sister-in-law.
It seems we still need to think of another way.
He vowed to teach those two girls a lesson.
He returned to the courtyard house in a fit of rage.
But there was no one left in the He family.
They go to work or go to school.
He Daqing tried pushing the door of the small kitchen.
Zhao Ailing had made preparations beforehand; when she left, she not only locked the doors to her house tightly, but also locked the doors to the small kitchen.
The curtains were drawn inside both the windows and the doors.
From the outside, you can't see anything inside at all.
He Daqing was even angrier: "So, you and your family were all prepared. You don't want me to come back."
"You probably didn't expect this, did you? I, He Daqing, am back. This time, I won't fall for your tricks again, and I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed to see him return.
He said He Daqing wouldn't leave.
Sure enough, he came back.
He immediately came out and said, "You're back! Where did you go last night? Why are you only coming back now?"
When He Daqing saw him, he wanted to pour out all his grievances.
"Let's go to your house to talk."
Upon arriving at Yi Zhonghai's home, he first drank a large bowl of hot water, then stretched out his hand and asked, "Is there any food at home? My stomach is almost empty. I've only had one bowl of porridge since last night."
"It's well past breakfast time now, and we don't have anything to eat at home."
"Don't you even have cornbread? Just give me a cornbread."
"I need to save the remaining two cornbread buns for lunch. If my wife comes back and sees one is missing, she'll definitely scold me."
He Daqing scrutinized Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, how come you're different from before? Now you're not only stingy but also afraid of your wife."
“I remember before, not to mention at home, even in the yard, everyone would listen to you if you said something. How come you’ve become so timid now?”
He Daqing's words struck a chord with him.
Money gives a man courage!
Yi Zhonghai is now impoverished and lacks ambition.
He was fired from the steel rolling mill. He had no children and worked as a temporary worker, doing menial tasks like shoveling night soil.
Now they're practically pariahs in the courtyard houses.
People no longer call him "Master Yi" as they used to.
He would avoid other people as much as possible and never speak to them.
When he got home, his wife looked down on him even more.
Every time he opens his mouth, he says that he only earns a few dollars a month, which isn't even enough to eat.
Gradually, he developed the habit.
He was not only afraid of his wife, but also of everyone in the courtyard.
He used to think that he would only live such a mediocre life.
But He Daqing's return this time rekindled his hope.
He couldn't wait for He Daqing to cause trouble with the He family.
That would make him feel incredibly comfortable.
When you're in a good mood, you naturally gain confidence!
He simply took a cornbread from the pot and some pickled vegetables: "Eat it. I don't care what that old woman says. Today I'm in charge. You can have this cornbread."
It's just a cornbread bun, Yi Zhonghai said it as if he were being fed a white flour steamed bun.
However, He Daqing didn't mind and just picked it up and put it in his mouth.
After finishing his cornbread, he recounted how the two girls had tricked him into going outside the city and how they had given him laxatives the day before.
"Damn it, I never thought that after playing with eagles my whole life, I'd get pecked in the eye by one. We just wanted to trick them out of a few steamed buns, but we ended up being tricked by them instead!"
"Two little girls dared to put laxatives in the buns, and I was so sick that I couldn't recover for a whole night."
"Otherwise I would have arrived much earlier last night."
"They locked all the doors today, isn't that a clear indication that they want me to leave?"
Yi Zhonghai never expected that they could do such a thing.
They're really brave.
Could it be that He Hongyang ordered them to do it?
But He Hongyang came back very late yesterday, and it seemed like he had no idea that He Daqing had come.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to tell He Hongyang?"
"Hmph, what's the use of telling him? He doesn't care about me as his father at all."
"Didn't you say you were going to see He Wenwen at the childcare center? Did you see her? Did she acknowledge you as her grandfather?"
"Speaking of this makes me want to curse even more. Not only did I not see her yesterday, but I also wasted five cents."
He then recounted how the two girls had taken He Wennuan away the previous day, and how he had chased her through several alleys without success.
Yi Zhonghai looked at him and asked, "You're supposed to be quite capable, so how come you've lost to those two girls time and time again? They're only a few years old, and you're almost 50, yet you can't even beat them..."
"If they can't even beat them, how can they possibly beat He Hongyang?"
"He Hongyang doesn't know you're back yet. If he did, he probably wouldn't just put laxatives in your buns; he might break your legs."
He Daqing glared at him, his eyes wide: "He wouldn't dare! I'm his father!"
"What's the use of just talking tough? You need to quickly come up with a way to give them a taste of their power!"
What should I do?
"This is your own business, why are you asking me what to do?"
“You’ve lived in the courtyard house for a long time and spent a lot of time with them, so you must have a way.”
Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment: "The best course of action now is to avenge the diarrhea I had last night and show them that He Daqing is not someone to be trifled with!"
This idea coincided with his own.
He Daqing clenched his fist: "I must avenge this!"
"Where did they go? When will they be back?"
“We sent He Wennuan to the childcare class. She should be back by now.”
The person returned while they were talking.
After the two girls returned, they kept looking around in the yard.
I noticed that the lock on the small kitchen door was undone, and the lock on the main door was also undone.
It seems He Daqing has not returned.
They were also worried that he might come today.
His legs might be too weak to pull him back for a while.
"Great, he didn't come."
“We’ll go to the front yard in a bit. If he dares to come back, we’ll trick him out again. We can’t let him see my brother-in-law, and we can’t let him bother him.”
"Have you forgotten what your brother-in-law said this morning? We still have a mission to complete."
Wang Lili suddenly remembered that He Hongyang had given them a package this morning, asking them to deliver it to the agreed time and place.
These are two packs of cigarettes, and they are the Golden Monkey brand, which is currently the hardest to obtain.
He should have delivered such a valuable item in person.
But He Hongyang needed to go to the hospital today, and the other party was in a hurry and offered a high price, so they let the two of them go.
"Let's hurry home and get ready."
I saw two girls go into the house.
He Daqing wished he could immediately enter the He family and drag them out.
Ask them why they treated themselves that way last night.
Just as he was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai stopped him, saying, "If you go in like this, they definitely won't admit it."
"If someone overheard this, they'd think you were bullying two girls. If He Hongyang found out, that would be terrible."
"What's there to be afraid of? He's not home anyway, and it's just the two of them at home."
“What if the other people in the courtyard hear this? Most of the young people in the courtyard support He Hongyang, and the sons of the Liu and Xu families have been trying to curry favor with these two sisters.”
"You're all alone. Do you think you can be a match for them?"
Yi Zhonghai's consideration was indeed more thorough.
"What should we do then? Are we just going to let this go?"
"Of course not. They can't stay in the yard forever. When they go out, follow them quietly and catch them off guard. You'll definitely get your revenge then!"
