Chapter 226 Agree to help
He stared at Sha Zhu with his eyes wide open, and shouted indignantly: "Sha Zhu, where are you kicking? You are so cruel! If something really happens, will you take the responsibility?"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped his son hard on the back of his head, then left with Xu Damao after saying something cruel. After all, if they continued to stay here, I'm afraid the two of them would start fighting again.
Along the way, Xu Fugui kept scolding his son, complaining incessantly: "You little brat, you really don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is! You actually dare to say something sarcastic at a time like this, you deserve to be beaten! It's okay to quarrel on weekdays, but you have to choose the occasion carefully!"
Xu Damao, who was beaten, was not convinced and muttered: "Humph, who made him beat me all the time!"
On the other side, Sha Zhu, who had just beaten someone, was silent at the moment. His eyes were red, like a wild beast about to go berserk, exuding a chilling aura.
The neighbors were all terrified upon seeing this and scattered in all directions, fearing that they would get into trouble.
The originally lively scene suddenly became extremely deserted, and everyone hurriedly fled back home with their families.
Sha Zhu returned to the house alone, and sat down heavily on the ground like a deflated ball, and then he let out a low whimper. The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and tears flowed uncontrollably, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction and pain...
Xiao Yushui was still young and didn't know much. She was playing with her son in Hou Jie's house without any care or thought. She didn't know that her father had run away.
At around seven or eight o'clock in the night, the sky had completely darkened, the people in the yard had long since fallen into sweet dreams, and everything was silent.
However, on this quiet night, Sha Zhu walked alone in the moonlight, through the dark path in the yard, and came to Hou Jie's door.
Originally, Sha Zhu was going to go directly to Yi Zhonghai, but after thinking about it, he decided to thank Hou Jie for taking good care of his sister and let him make a decision for him. So, he mustered up his courage and came to Hou Jie's door.
Hou Jie had actually guessed that Sha Zhu might come to his house, so he had already dressed up in advance.
When he heard a knock on the door, he slowly stood up, walked to the door quietly, and carefully opened the door a crack. After confirming that the person coming was Sha Zhu, he opened the door completely, made a gesture for him to come in, and led Sha Zhu into the study.
Sha Zhu stood at the door of the study, but his feet seemed to be nailed down and he was reluctant to step in.
His eyes revealed obvious hesitation and uneasiness, because he knew that the topic to be discussed next was crucial and might even affect the future fate of himself and his sister.
He took a deep breath, as if trying to give himself some courage, and then said in a firm yet slightly pleading tone: "Brother Chunsheng, I really have no idea what to do now. Can you help me think of a solution?"
Looking at the helpless boy in front of him, Hou Jie couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked: "Zhu Zi, are you really determined to let me help you? I can't do it, how about you look for Yi Zhonghai?"
"Brother Chunsheng, please help me! You have a wide network of contacts and a lot of experience. You are the most powerful person in the courtyard. The three uncles couldn't do anything to Jia Zhang, but you have her under your control. You must be better than Uncle Yi in handling this matter."
"Zhu Zi! This is what you look at when you look at people! I don't know whether I should be happy or cry."
"Yeah! Rare, isn't it?"
Hou Jie was speechless and helpless about Sha Zhu's strange question.
Sha Zhu was holding on to Hou Jie tightly at this time. At this moment, he was like a headless fly, running around everywhere. As long as he could find a glimmer of hope, even if it was just a life-saving straw, he would hold on to it tightly.
However, he was so confused at the moment and had no idea how to deal with the current predicament.
Seeing this, Hou Jie showed understanding and sympathy on his face. He sighed softly and said, "Alas! It's not easy for you to live alone with your sister, and now even the little money you have has been swept away by your father. How can you continue like this?"
Then, he changed the subject and said firmly: "Forget it! Since you came to me, I will naturally help you. But let me make it clear in advance! Don't blame me if you can't do it!"
"Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to find Uncle He. After all, you are not yet adults, and as a father, he should take on the obligation to raise you until you reach adulthood. Just taking away all the money without saying a word, leaving nothing for you, is really unreasonable and violates the clear provisions of laws and regulations."
Hou Jie's words were firm and powerful. He knew the seriousness of the problem. He looked at Sha Zhu, who clenched his fists, with a hint of anger and helplessness in his eyes. He wanted to beat up his father, but he knew that now was not the time to act impulsively. He had to calm down and take action.
"Okay, Brother Chunsheng," Shazhu said in a low but firm voice, "I will listen to you. We will go find him early tomorrow morning."
After Hou Jie and Sha Zhu finished their discussion late at night, the next morning, before dawn, Hou Jie had already gotten up from his warm bed, washed up in a hurry, and prepared to go to the Public Security Bureau to get He Daqing's detailed address.
After a long wait, Hou Jie finally got He Daqing's exact address from the Public Security Bureau. Then he and Sha Zhu rushed to the train station and took the earliest train to Baoding.
Hou Jie felt a little annoyed and muttered, "What is going on? I have to help Sha Zhu find his father. Shouldn't it be Yi Zhonghai? Why is it my turn? Is this the butterfly effect?"
As the roar of the train faded away, Hou Jie became more nervous and expectant. He imagined the scene of meeting He Daqing and the problems he might encounter.
After arriving in Baoding, Hou Jie followed the address information and walked around the streets to ask questions, and finally came to the slightly shabby house of the White Widow. Seeing the scene in front of him, Hou Jie curled his lips, revealing obvious disdain and contempt.
Hou Jie didn't say much, but went straight to the door and knocked, shouting, "Is He Daqing here? I'm here with your son to see you, open the door!"
Then, he turned to Sha Zhu and said seriously, "Stay quietly by the side. Don't interrupt me unless I tell you to. Got it?"
Although Sha Zhu's eyes were red at this time, seemingly full of anger and determination, he still clenched his teeth tightly and nodded heavily with all his strength, expressing his absolute obedience and deep trust in Hou Jie's orders.
