"What's the matter? Aren't we even now? Uncle He, do you have anything else to say?"

Xu Damao stretched his donkey face, looking quite displeased, and questioned in a deep voice.

"Shazhu, my girl, you two should go to work quickly, it's getting late."

He Daqing urged his two children to leave, as what happened next had nothing to do with them.

"Dad, I won't leave."

He Yushui shook her head. Her old father was obviously in trouble, so how could she leave with peace of mind?

As for being late for work, then so be it. After graduating from high school, she found a job in a textile factory.

Currently, apprentices who have not yet been converted to regular employees only earn 18 yuan a month, and the deduction for one day's salary is only 3 yuan.

"I'm not leaving either. It's okay to go later."

Sha Zhu also shook his head. He went to work at around ten o'clock every day. It was only eight o'clock now, so it was still early.

"Then you two just sit there and keep quiet."

He Daqing gave a warning, looked at Xu Damao, and asked:

"Da Mao, I want to ask, how do you know that you are infertile because of the beating by Sha Zhu?"

Compensating for the money and pills were no big deal. He had to figure out what had happened to Xu Damao.

"Hmm? Well, didn't we agree that this matter is over?"

Xu Damao was shocked and his donkey face showed some panic. He mumbled for a long time and tried to evade the question.

He knew in his heart that He Daqing was beginning to suspect him.

"It's okay. I'm just a little curious. It's okay if you don't tell me."

A cold light flashed in the depths of He Daqing's eyes. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "By the way, if someone asks you again, you know how to answer, right?"

"Uncle He, I understand. When others ask me, I just say it's a misunderstanding and nothing happened!"

Xu Damao nodded and replied very sensibly.

"Okay, go back."

Seeing that he was so understanding, He Daqing waved his hand.

"Okay then Uncle He, Yushui, I'll go over first."

Xu Damao stood up, said hello, and left the He family.

After Xu Damao left, Sha Zhu and He Yushui looked at He Daqing, as if they were meeting their father for the first time.

"Silly Zhu, my girl, there is something I want to ask for your opinions."

After pondering for a moment, He Daqing decided to take the initiative and not just sit there and wait for death. He closed the door of his room and said to the brother and sister.

"Ah, what's the matter?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, a little flattered. Dad respects me so much? "Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Sha Ge and I are listening."

He Yushui was also a little confused and replied cautiously.

"It's like this, aren't you two curious about why I came back so suddenly?"

He Daqing organized his words and asked back, "Logically speaking, I don't have the face to come back."

"Dad, where do you get that from? This is your home."

He Yushui said quickly: "If you want to come back, you can come back anytime."

"Yes, you want to come back, can I not let you come back?"

Sha Zhu also nodded and said.

"Originally, I would not return to the capital until more than ten years later, but Xu Damao took me back."

He Daqing said: "But something unexpected happened to me, so I came back early."

"More than a decade later, Xu Damao will take you back? Dad, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

He Yushui was completely confused. What was going on?

Shazhu was even more confused. He only had an elementary school education, unlike He Yushui who had a high school education.

"I hope you two won't tell anyone about what's coming next, even until you die."

He Daqing nodded slightly and warned: "If you two can do it, I will tell you, otherwise I will take it into the coffin."

"Don't worry, Dad. I won't tell anyone."

He Yushui said solemnly: "Even if it's my boyfriend Li Shengli, I won't tell him."

"I won't tell anyone, don't worry."

Sha Zhu also made the promise.

"Well, Dad will tell you."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Dad was already dead. I died in 1998 at the age of 85."

A big news was revealed at the beginning, which made Sha Zhu and He Yushui's eyes pop out.

However, He Daqing did not explain, but lit a cigarette and continued: "This year, Yi Zhonghai died, Liu Haizhong died, Yan Bugui also died, and all the elderly people in the courtyard passed away."

"This year, you, Shazhu, are 63 years old. You have worked like a slave for the Jia family for more than 30 years. You don't have your own children, and you are ordered around by others."

"This year, my daughter, you are almost sixty years old. Although your parents-in-law don't like you, at least you have both sons and daughters, and a large family with many children and grandchildren."

"That year, I died of old age, but I wasn't dead. My soul floated in the air until 2002, when I saw Shazhu frozen to death under the overpass."

"I am unwilling to accept this. I hate it so much that my He family is going to be wiped out like this!"

"I never thought that I would suddenly return to Baoding in 1965 and be alive again."

"So, I packed my bags overnight and returned to the capital ahead of time, just to stop Sha Zhu, so that my He family would not be wiped out."

Ugh! This made Shazhu even more confused, and He Yushui didn't understand what he said either.

Forgive them. In this era, there is no such thing as time travel and rebirth. It is completely nonsense.

This is also the reason why He Daqing revealed his secret! Of course, he did not say that he was a time traveler, but only said that he was reborn from the 1990s.

The purpose of doing this was, firstly, to prevent any trouble from happening on Xu Damao's side, and secondly, to take Sha Zhu and He Yushui away.

With rebirth as an excuse, it would be natural for him to do anything weird in the future.

Otherwise, if he said he was going to run away to Hong Kong, what excuse would he make? Wouldn't the brother and sister think he was crazy? "Dad, what you said is a bit confusing. Let me sort it out and see if I'm right."

He Yushui was a high school student after all. He had more knowledge and broader experience, so he roughly understood what He Daqing meant.

"Okay, girl, you can say it."

He Daqing nodded.

"You were originally in Baoding all along, and it wasn't until more than ten years later that Xu Damao took you back?"

He Yushui took a deep breath and said, "Then in 1998, you died of old age at the age of 85? But your soul didn't die. In 2002, you saw my silly brother frozen to death under the overpass?"

As expected of a high school student, she quickly sorted out what He Daqing said.

"Yeah, that's what I mean."

He Daqing nodded in agreement and replied.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could I freeze to death under the overpass? Where is my wife and children? They don't care about me?"

Sha Zhu probably understood what He Daqing meant, but he didn't believe what He Daqing said at all.

Are you kidding me? How could I freeze to death under the overpass? "Girl, tell me, if I don't come back, what will happen to your stupid brother? Will he be able to get married?"

He Daqing ignored Sha Zhu's shouting and turned his gaze to He Yushui.

Among the more than one hundred people living in the courtyard of Siheyuan in the entire TV series "Love in the Courtyard", He Yushui is one of the few smart people.

She had long seen through the true nature of Yi Zhonghai, Widow Qin, the Jia family and others. They were all ungrateful and sinister villains.

So, after graduation, she couldn't wait to leave the courtyard and escape from this man-eating den.

"If you don't come back, my silly brother will gradually become a fool who helps the Jia family, and will be driven out when he is no longer useful."

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu with disdain and said, "So, Dad, I believe what you said about Sha Ge freezing to death under the overpass in the future."

"Yes, if you are no longer useful, you will be driven out. After the White Widow died, her two sons also drove me out."

He Daqing nodded. In order to make Sha Zhu believe him, he did not hesitate to expose his own scandal and said, "If I hadn't kept some private money, I might have been frozen to death in some corner."

Compared to Sha Zhu, He Daqing was smarter. He knew to keep some money for himself and didn't let Bai Guafu and the two brothers know.

Otherwise, He Daqing in the original book would have died long ago, so how could he have lived to be over eighty years old?

"This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible."

Shazhu was dumbfounded. He kept saying it was impossible, but he actually believed it in his heart.

Shazhu is just stubborn, but he is not stupid.

"Dad, let's ignore him. Tell me, what will happen next?"

Compared to Sha Zhu who is still struggling, He Yushui is obviously more interested in the future.

"As for what happened afterwards, I was in Baoding until 1992, so I don't know much."

After all, He Daqing was not really reborn from the future, and there were some things he was not very clear about, so he said the prepared speech in advance.

"Yeah, that's fine. You can just pick whatever you know."

When He Yushui heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case, so he didn't care.

"Then I will just tell you what I know. I also learned this from the future idiot."

Starting from the incident where Sha Zhu stole a chicken, He Yushui's marriage was delayed. Later, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e divorced. The deaf old lady locked Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e together, and they slept with each other. When Xu Damao found out, he reported the Lou family in a rage. Sha Zhu found a senior leader to get the Lou family released. He Daqing told He Yushui everything about the Lou family's departure from the mainland and going to Hong Kong.

He focused on what happened to Sha Zhu and glossed over everything else.

After the chicken-stealing incident, Sha Zhu went on several blind dates, but they were all ruined by Yi Zhonghai and Guafu Qin.

A few years later, Sha Zhu and Guafu Qin finally got together, but because of the stick plot, they were unable to get married.

It was not until 1977, when Banggeng returned to the city from the countryside and Shazhu arranged a job for him, that Banggeng agreed to let Widow Qin marry Shazhu.

But after giving birth to Huaihua, Widow Qin secretly had an IUD inserted, making it impossible for her to give birth to a child for Sha Zhu.

This family is really powerful. One plays the bad guy and the other plays the good guy. They play Sha Zhu around and tie him tightly to the Jia family.

Until the two rooms of the He family, the two rooms of the deaf old lady, and the two rooms of Yi Zhonghai were all transferred to the Jia family, Sha Zhu was no longer of any use and was driven out by Bang Geng. He was finally frozen to death under the overpass, and it was Xu Damao who collected his body.

Shazhu's life is so miserable!

Even He Daqing, a time traveler, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yi Zhonghai Jia Zhangshi. Qin Jie Banggen Xiaodang Huaihua"

This time, Sha Zhu was really dumbfounded, his eyes were dull and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He never thought that he would end up like this. Are all the Jia family members ungrateful? Sister Qin actually had an IUD!

What does it mean for a widow to have an IUD? Those who understand will understand!

"Why, silly brother, you don't believe it? Even Dorgon couldn't handle a widow with a son. How can you compare with Dorgon?"

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression of unacceptable decadence, He Yushui glanced at him and said with a disappointed look.

“Yushui, you already knew the nature of the Jia family, why didn’t you tell me?”

Sha Zhu only acts stupidly when facing Widow Qin. He is not stupid at all when facing other people.

He sensed something was wrong in He Yushui's words. It turned out that his sister had known about this for a long time? "Tell you? You are so devoted to Sister Qin. Would it be any use if I told you? You only have your Sister Qin in your eyes. How can you still remember me, your sister?"

He Yushui asked angrily, "Where were you when I asked you for food money? Where were you when I came back and had no food to eat? You are a family, and I am just an outsider! You tell me yourself, why should I tell you?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't said anything, but she gets angry as soon as I say it.

Why is she so thin? Doesn't Shazhu have any idea? Meeting such a reckless brother, she is so unlucky!

We should really thank God that she was able to grow up safely and not starve to death over the years.

"Well"

Sha Zhu immediately shrank his neck guiltily and was speechless.

"Okay, there's no need to talk about the past anymore."

He Daqing waved his hand to interrupt their quarrel and said, "Didn't you notice something was wrong? Xu Damao didn't know that he was extinct, but now he actually went to the hospital for a physical examination."

"Um?"

Sha Zhu frowned. Yes, based on his understanding of Xu Damao, he was an extremely insidious villain!

Even if Xu Damao knew that there was something wrong with his body, he would never go to the hospital for a check-up for the sake of his reputation.

"Dad, do you mean that there is something wrong with Xu Damao?"

He Yushui asked curiously.

"I can't really explain it, but Xu Damao is definitely not right."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Plus, the wind will start to blow next year and last for ten years."

"I've thought about it. Should we leave and go to Hong Kong to develop? After a dozen years, when this craze has passed, we can come back!"

"I need to ask you two brothers and sisters for your opinions on this matter. I can't run away alone, because that will implicate you."

"Besides, if we decide to leave, you and that little policeman will be gone. You have to end your relationship with him as soon as possible."

"Of course, we're not leaving for a while. I need to contact Boss Lou and go with them."

"You two can think about this matter carefully, and give me an answer after you have considered it."

Ah? Sha Zhu and He Yushui were stunned for a moment. Running away to Hong Kong? So sudden? (End of this chapter)
