Hu Guangliang's wedding was far more lively than Li Weidong imagined.
Moreover, he actually met several characters among them who he had only read about in newspapers.
Lao Hu's background is much deeper than Li Weidong thought!
As the best man, Li Weidong naturally followed Hu Guangliang back and forth, and he really took this opportunity to get to know many big shots.
But just because they are familiar, if they meet again in the future, they will have a reason to talk.
If you want to use this to climb up, it is purely wishful thinking.
After a whole day, Li Weidong was extremely tired.
Yu Li was also encouraged to become a young man and was busy with the work.
At the end of the wedding, Yu Li couldn't help complaining to Li Weidong: "I feel even more tired today than when we got married, but it was so frustrating."
Li Weidong said helplessly: "Who says it's not the case? Let's spend the night here today, Lao Hu has prepared a room for us."
"Can you make it back to work in time tomorrow?" Yu Li asked.
Li Weidong shrugged and said, "It's not a big problem. I've already asked someone to ask for leave for us."
"That's good!" Yu Li nodded, then seemed to remember something, grabbed Li Weidong's arm and said: "By the way, Weidong, I just met a person at the banquet. He said his name was He Daqing, I remember
You said that He Yuzhu’s father’s name is He Daqing, it can’t be him, right?”
Hearing this name, Li Weidong immediately became energetic.
When He Daqing ran away with the widow, He Yuzhu was not even an adult yet, so he had to take over He Daqing's position early and work as a cook in the canteen of the steel rolling mill.
It was not easy for the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters during that time.
Because when he first entered the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu only received the salary of an apprentice.
At that time, the husband's family of the widow who abducted He Daqing saw that their daughter-in-law had left the child behind and ran away with her, so they came over to demand an explanation.
In short, just two words - lose money!
He Yuzhu had not yet evolved into the God of War in the Siheyuan at that time, so he was naturally no match for these people, so he was forced to write the IOU.
For a long time, Shazhu had just received his salary, and before he had time to warm up, he was already taken away by these people.
The brother and sister lived on the leftovers He Yuzhu brought back from the cafeteria.
According to He Yuzhu, if Yi Zhonghai hadn't extended a helping hand to him from time to time, he wouldn't have known how he would have lived that life.
From then on, he was grateful to Yi Zhonghai. Sometimes he knew that Yi Zhonghai was taking advantage of him, but he didn't care.
That is a life-saving grace!
When Qin Huairu first married into the courtyard house, under the instigation of Jia Zhang, she often took things from He Yuzhu to her own home.
From time to time, I would give some small favors, such as cleaning the house, helping with the laundry, etc.
It is a trivial matter to others, but He Yuzhu is different. His mother passed away early, and He Yuzhu was several years younger than him, so he couldn't do much work.
Having never experienced life with an adult woman at home, he tasted the sweetness for the first time.
Therefore, Qin Huairu's position in his heart is very special.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know Qin Huairu was just using him, yet he would still be willing to do it.
He Daqing has always been a knot in the hearts of He Yuzhu and He Yuzhu, who have been looking for him all these years.
If not for anything else, I just wanted to ask He Daqing for an explanation.
Ask him why he could abandon them and run away with the widow in the first place and still ignore them.
Li Weidong didn't want to meddle in this stall's business, but now that he had encountered it, he might have to ask for help.
Thinking of this, Li Weidong asked Yu Li: "Where did you meet him?"
"Just at the table of the bride's relatives and friends."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look. You wait for me here."
"good!"
*******
At this time, the guests in the venue had not completely dispersed, and Li Weidong easily found the table Yu Li was talking about.
This look really made him find He Daqing.
After so many years, He Daqing doesn't seem to have aged much.
Thanks to the fact that he hadn't changed, Li Weidong could recognize him at a glance.
Li Weidong didn't think much and walked straight towards He Daqing.
"Uncle He, long time no see!"
He Daqing, who was submissively listening to his old wife's scolding, raised his head when he heard this.
After not seeing each other for nearly ten years, He Daqing could not recognize Li Weidong for a long time, and asked Li Weidong with a puzzled look on his face: "Who are you?"
Li Weidong replied with a faint smile: "Li Weidong from Nanluogu Lane, do you still remember?"
He Daqing's originally cloudy eyes suddenly became clear after hearing the words Nanluoguxiang and Li Weidong.
"Weidong, are you Weidong?"
Li Weidong nodded and said, "It's me. Can we chat for a few words?"
He Daqing glanced at the old wife beside him with some embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and nodded.
Then the two of them went to an empty table in the corner and sat down.
Li Weidong first poured a cup of hot tea for He Daqing, and then asked: "Uncle He, how have you been these days?"
He Daqing showed an awkward but polite smile and said: "Okay, it's okay."
He can't always say that his life over the past few years has not been very good.
No matter what, you can't lose face in front of juniors.
Unexpectedly, after he said these words, Li Weidong shook his head and said, "You are living a good life, but the life of the pillars and the rain is not so good."
Hearing Li Weidong mention his children, He Daqing couldn't help but become nervous and asked cautiously: "What happened to them?"
"What's wrong?" Li Weidong snorted coldly: "When you left without saying a word, the White Widow's husband came to the door and forced Zhuzi to pay for it. He was just an apprentice who had just started working. Where did he get the money?
Compensation? We can only discuss it with them and give it to them from our monthly salary. Life was very tight in the first three years, but it was better for you to live freely outside and not write a letter."
Li Weidong originally thought that after He Daqing heard this, as long as he still had some conscience, not to mention crying bitterly, he would at least look guilty.
However, he guessed wrong. After hearing what he said, He Daqing's face was full of doubts.
After a while, he said: "That's wrong, it shouldn't be like this!"
Li Weidong rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong? You didn't leave them any property. Where will they get the money to compensate?"
He Daqing stared at Li Weidong seriously and said: "After I heard about this here, I immediately asked someone to send money back. Before Zhu Zhu became a chef, I sent money every month. Their days
How can you have a bad life?"
Li Weidong was stunned when he heard this, and stared at He Daqing's face seriously for a while.
From the look on his face, it didn't look like he was lying at all.
But if he had sent money, how could the lives of He Yuzhu and his sister still be so miserable?
I'm afraid something went wrong here.
Li Weidong frowned and asked He Daqing: "Uncle He, who did you ask for the money back then?"
"Who else could it be, Lao Yi?" After He Daqing finished speaking, he also realized something and asked, "You don't even know about this?"
Li Weidong shook his head, he had never heard of this at all.
But Yi Zhonghai is really bold enough. If he dares to swallow this money, he is not afraid of He Yuzhu's revenge after the money is actually distributed?
Maybe this guy has been carried away by the matter of retirement.
Thinking of using this to control He Yuzhu.
If He Yuzhu lends a helping hand in his most difficult time, He Yuzhu will naturally be grateful to him.
When Yi Zhonghai gets old, He Yuzhu will naturally take over the task of caring for the elderly without him having to mention it.
So wily!
If you don't have some brains and courage, you really can't do this.
He Daqing's face was gloomy at this time, and he had already gotten the answer he wanted from Li Weidong's expression.
Although his behavior of leaving behind his two minor children was a bit bad, he has been trying hard to compensate them financially over the years.
I didn't expect that someone would cause trouble.
Originally, He Daqing was quite grateful to Yi Zhonghai, feeling that it was thanks to him helping to take care of the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters over the years.
When he wrote a letter a few days ago, he also said that he had introduced a good girl to He Yuzhu, who had good qualities and a well-connected family.
After He Daqing saw the letter, he was quite happy and was thinking about expressing his gratitude to Yi Zhonghai.
But now after listening to Li Weidong's words, he remained skeptical of everything Yi Zhonghai said.
Thinking of this, He Daqing asked Li Weidong: "Weidong, I would like to ask, is it Lao Yi who introduced Zhuzi and Yuyu?"
Li Weidong was stunned when he heard this, and said: "What does this have to do with him, Yi Zhonghai? She knows Yu Yu's partner herself, and I introduced Zhu Zhu's partner. The deaf old lady can testify to this."
After he finished speaking, Li Weidong came to his senses and asked, "Uncle He, Yi Zhonghai won't tell you that he did all these things, right?"
He Daqing nodded with a wry smile.
Li Weidong was also very responsible, shaking his head and saying: "This Yi Zhonghai is really... When you gave him money before, did you ask him to give you a receipt?"
He Daqing sighed and said: "We have been neighbors for so many years, how could I have imagined that he would do this?"
Yes, as long as Yi Zhonghai refuses to admit it, it means he has no evidence.
The money He Daqing has thrown away over the years has been wasted.
"Uncle He, what are your thoughts now?"
"What can I think? I can only blame myself for trusting others wrongly. Now it is impossible to get the money back."
Li Weidong touched his chin and said, "That's not necessarily the case. We can't suffer the loss of being dumb."
He Daqing looked at Li Weidong helplessly and asked, "Do you have any idea?"
"I don't have it, but your daughter-in-law will definitely have it. She is not easy to mess with!"
"Ah, is this okay?"
"Give it a try, but you can't stop here. You have to find a reason to see if you can get Yi Zhonghai to write you some receipts. If he does, things will be easier to handle after that."
He Daqing was also angry that Yi Zhonghai had secretly pocketed the alimony for his children, so he naturally wanted to express his anger.
"Okay, I'll think of a solution later."
After the two discussed the matter for a while, Li Weidong left.
After learning that He Daqing had not completely abandoned the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters, Li Weidong not only did not relax, but also had more doubts.
Judging from the attitude of He Daqing's old wife towards him, He Daqing must not have been living a very good life these years.
What's more, he gave up his position to He Yuzhu and became a homeless man. Where did he get the money to send it to He Yuzhu's brother and sister?
Li Weidong didn't think He Daqing was lying, there was no need for him to do so.
I just feel that He Daqing may still be hiding something that he has not said.
When he went back to look for Yu Li, Li Weidong glanced at the small cloth bag that He Daqing had just forced on him.
When I opened it, I saw a roll of banknotes and food stamps inside.
Even someone like Li Weidong, who was not short of money, couldn't help but be surprised.
He Daqing's family fortune is really rich. When he was in the courtyard, he was not very wealthy, but now that he is out, he is actually rich.
Li Weidong vaguely remembered that He Yuzhu's family seemed to be poor farmers for three generations, and he didn't know where He Daqing got so much money.
Are you just like him, messing around in private?
It's not impossible.
After all, Li Weidong is not the only one with a flexible mind.
*********
The next morning, Li Weidong and Yu Li slept until three o'clock in the morning and left after having breakfast at Hu Guangliang's house.
Traveling during the day is much faster than at night. When we returned to the courtyard, it was lunch time.
Li Weidong simply made some food at home, and after lunch with Yu Li, they went to work.
There were no tasks today. Li Weidong just drove a truck of steel to Beijing University and was free again.
I simply drove the car to the repair shop and had it serviced.
Han Zhizhi happened to be there, and Li Weidong originally wanted to tell He Yuzhu about He Daqing's incident privately, and then tell Han Zhizhi through He Yuzhu's mouth.
But it seems that she is not very busy now, and He Yuzhu must have finished his work as well.
I made up my mind and decided to make the decision together in front of them.
If he had to talk to He Yuzhu alone, he might be soft-hearted towards Yi Zhonghai again, and eventually the big thing would turn into a trivial matter.
We can't just let this matter go.
There is a cancer like Yi Zhonghai in the hospital, and it will never stop.
Moreover, Li Weidong really didn't want to see the alimony paid by He Daqing to He Yuzhu's brother and sister being ignored by He Daqing.
After the three of them met in the kitchen, Li Weidong found a secluded place and told He Yuzhu and Han Zhizhi about his encounter with He Daqing at the wedding banquet yesterday.
When He Yuzhu first heard that He Daqing was in Baoding, he was quite excited.
But when he heard Li Weidong say that He Daqing had actually been sending money to his brother and sister over the years, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it.
"Impossible, I haven't received a penny in these years. If I hadn't happened to work in the canteen, my brother and sister would have almost starved to death!"
Li Weidong glanced at He Yuzhu sideways and said, "Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"
He Yuzhu just shut up and waited quietly for Li Weidong to continue.
Li Weidong said: "I thought so at the beginning, but then your father said that he gave all the money to you through Yi Zhonghai. Although he was not asked to write a receipt, your father did sneak in every month.
city once.
If you think this is still not believable, let me say one more thing.
Yi Zhonghai wrote a letter to your father before. In the letter, he said that he introduced all the people you gave Yu Yu. This is not nonsense. The original letter is with your father. If you don’t believe it,
If so, you can go to Baoding to find him."
"No, it's impossible."
He Yuzhu felt that his world had been greatly impacted.
