My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 184: Beating Up the White Widow

At this moment, He Daqing thought for a moment and then asked Zhang Lei, "How are you sure there's something wrong with Widow Bai?"

Zhang Lei looked at He Daqing and said, "Yu Shui told me before about the time she came to find you."

At this moment, He Daqing was stunned for a moment and said, "What? You came to find me back then? When?"

At this moment, He Yushui recounted in detail how Sha Zhu had taken her to Baoding to find He Daqing as soon as he left.

Zhang Lei looked at He Daqing and said, "Uncle He, now you know, right? If no one had told Bai Guafu when Shazhu and Yushui were going to Baoding, how could she have calculated it so accurately, sent you away, and kept it a secret? Moreover, you can ask your neighbors in your current place in the courtyard about this matter. There must have been someone who received a bribe from Bai Guafu back then and didn't tell you about Shazhu and Yushui looking for you."

Hearing this, He Daqing clenched his fists in anger and said, "That widow Bai! If she really dares to scheme against me, I won't let her get away with it!"

Seeing He Daqing's angry expression, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Uncle He, calm down first. You need to go home and test Widow Bai first to get to the bottom of what happened back then. Then we can go back to Beijing together and investigate the letter and money. No matter who is involved, as long as we report it to the police, we can definitely get to the bottom of it and make sure Sha Zhu and Yu Shui get their due compensation for all these years."

He Yushui chimed in, "Yes, Dad, you should go back to Beijing. I don't know what to do with my brother in this state. You have to support us!"

He Daqing nodded, looked at He Yushui, and slowly said, "Yushui, Dad knows. Don't worry, Dad will definitely find the mastermind behind this and give you two siblings an explanation. I won't let anyone make a fool of me, He Daqing."

Seeing He Daqing like this, Zhang Lei nodded in approval. This was the He Daqing he remembered: a reckless man with a certain charisma.

Zhang Lei looked at He Daqing and said, "Uncle He, do you need my help?"

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "No need. If I can't even handle this small matter myself, wouldn't I become a laughingstock for you juniors?"

Hearing He Daqing say this, Zhang Lei didn't insist any further. He knew He Daqing's temper from his youth; it was extremely fiery. But one thing was certain: He Daqing was smarter than Sha Zhu, instead of just wallowing in worldly affairs.

Upon arriving at their home in Baoding, Widow Bai greeted He Daqing with joy. However, when she saw Zhang Lei and He Yushui behind him, she paused, then asked, "Daqing, who are these two?"

He Daqing didn't answer the widow. He dragged her into the house, kicked her hard, knocking her to the ground, then lifted her up and slapped her twice across the face, making her mouth bleed.

This action startled Zhang Lei and He Yushui. Zhang Lei had thought of it for a long time, but he never expected that He Daqing's method would be so simple and brutal.

He Daqing looked at the stunned Widow Bai and said viciously, "Bai Erni, I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me what happened back then! When your two little brats come back, I'll break their legs one by one!"

Looking at He Daqing's fierce appearance, the widow stammered, "Da...Da...Daqing, you're confused. What about what happened back then?"

Looking at the white widow who was still feigning ignorance, He Daqing roared, "Explain to me clearly what happened back then—the setup you set for me, and the time my daughter and son came looking for me! If you can't explain it to me today, I don't plan to let you leave this house alive!"

Seeing the fierce He Daqing, the widow was instantly terrified and quickly said, "Daqing, listen to me, back then I... I had no choice!"

Upon hearing what Widow Bai said, He Daqing immediately knew that his plan had succeeded.

Zhang Lei was also confident, and he secretly admired He Daqing's method. It seemed that only a bad person could truly defeat a bad one.

Soon, Widow Bai recounted in detail how she framed He Daqing, forced him to come to Baoding, and abandoned her children.

He Daqing grew angrier and angrier as he listened to what the widow Bai said. He couldn't help but slap her twice more and said, "So you knew Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady back then? Yi Zhonghai didn't want me back then, afraid of ruining his reputation, so he found the deaf old lady and came up with this plan?"

The white widow covered her face and cried, "They...they made me do it! I was forced into it!"

Then the white widow feigned a pitiful expression and said, "Great Qing, for so many years, I have served you with all my heart and soul. Even if I haven't done anything meritorious, I have certainly put in a lot of hard work. Please, please forgive me!"

He Daqing looked at the widow and his heart softened; after all, they had been husband and wife for so many years. However, thinking of He Yushui outside, and the suffering she and Sha Zhu had endured over the years, his heart hardened, and he said, "Dream on! Get a divorce today, or you'll see what I, He Daqing, can do!"

Hearing He Daqing's resolute words, Widow Bai knew that her relationship with He Daqing was completely over. She collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Zhang Lei glanced at He Daqing and said, "Uncle He, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Besides, Widow Bai is old and faded; is she still worth your time..."

He Daqing looked at Zhang Lei and said, "You don't understand, some skills can't be learned."

Zhang Lei was caught off guard by He Daqing's directness.

Seeing Zhang Lei's embarrassed look, He Daqing smiled and said, "I've taken care of things here. Once I quit my job, we'll go back to Beijing."

Looking at He Daqing, who was efficient and capable, Zhang Lei said, "Uncle He, aren't you worried about not having a job?"

He Daqing looked at Zhang Lei and said confidently, "Your Uncle He has been in the culinary field for so many years, and my skills have improved significantly since then. Finding a job is a piece of cake for me."

Hearing He Daqing say this, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Uncle He, if that's what you mean, I can introduce you to a good match. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Daqing immediately became interested and asked, "Who is it? Is it a widow?"

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, Zhang Lei's face darkened, and he said, "Uncle He, do you have a special fondness for widows?"

Zhang Lei's words made He Daqing a little embarrassed. He said, "Zhang Lei, you don't understand. I learned all this from Boss Cao."

Zhang Lei immediately joked, "Uncle He, you have quite the style of Cao Cao."

Hearing Zhang Lei's teasing and reaction, He Daqing patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder and said, "You know me well, kid. Tell me, what does that woman look like? How old is she?"

He Yushui quietly pulled He Daqing aside and told him about Qin Huairu's situation.

He Daqing was taken aback and said, "You mean the Jia family? Jia Dongxu's wife?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."

Hearing this, He Daqing said somewhat awkwardly, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang Lei said, "Uncle He, what's wrong with that? Qin Huairu is beautiful and knows how to manage a household. The key is that the Jia family treats her terribly. If you marry her, you'll be family, and I guarantee you'll get another big, healthy son."

He Daqing thought about it and was somewhat tempted, but still said, "But she is, after all, Jia Dongxu's wife. If this gets out, it won't sound good for her reputation."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Uncle He, you still care about your reputation. Besides, Jia Dongxu is in no condition to give Qin Huairu happiness. Just think of it as saving a beautiful young woman and doing a good deed."

He Daqing was somewhat tempted by Zhang Lei's words and said, "Then...then I'll go back and think about it?"

Zhang Lei said, "Okay, Uncle He, take your time to think it over. But I have to remind you, opportunities don't wait for anyone. Don't regret it if someone else snatches it up first."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Uncle He knows what he's doing."
