Chapter 293: The old man Yi Zhonghai embezzled it

Yu Shui looked at Sha Zhu suspiciously, but didn't ask any more questions. She put down her schoolbag, walked to the table, and saw the bulging bag at a glance. "Brother, what is this?" she asked curiously.

Only then did Sha Zhu remember the money in the bag. He quickly opened the bag and took out the money and the remittance slip.

When Yu Shui saw so much money, her eyes widened. "Brother, are you rich?" she asked in surprise.

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly: "This is all the money sent by our father, and that old man Yi Zhonghai embezzled it."

When Yu Shui heard this, she was immediately furious. "Yi Zhonghai is going too far! How could he do this!"

Sha Zhu told Yu Shui the whole story, and Yu Shui was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Brother, we can't just let it go! We must make Yi Zhonghai pay the price!"

Sha Zhu nodded: "Brother has already thought of a solution."

The next morning, Sha Zhu went to the subdistrict office and reported Yi Zhonghai's misappropriation of the remittance. The director of the subdistrict office also felt that the matter was serious and immediately sent people to the courtyard to investigate.

Yi Zhonghai was guilty of his crime. When faced with inquiries from the street office, he hesitated and spoke incoherently, which soon exposed his true colors.

The people from the street office took Yi Zhonghai away on the spot and confiscated the money he had embezzled.

When the news reached the courtyard, it immediately caused an uproar. Everyone was talking about it, and no one expected that Yi Zhonghai, who usually looked kind and gentle, would do such a thing.

Sha Zhu stood in the crowd, watching Yi Zhonghai being taken away, and felt indescribably happy. He finally got rid of his anger!

Yi Zhonghai was dismissed from his position as a senior official by the subdistrict office and received severe criticism and education. His reputation was ruined and he could no longer raise his head in the hospital.

Sha Zhu and Yu Shui's lives also returned to normal. They received money sent by He Daqing every month, and their lives became better and better.

However, there was always a thorn in Sha Zhu's heart. He didn't know why his father He Daqing left suddenly, nor did he know when he would come back.

One day, Sha Zhu received a letter from He Daqing, in which He Daqing explained the reason for his departure and said that he would come back to see them as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, Sha Zhu was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the yard. Sha Zhu went out to see a ragged woman standing at the gate, holding a baby in her arms.

When the woman saw Sha Zhu, she ran over and grabbed his hand, crying, "Sha Zhu, I am your Qin Huairu! Please save me!"

Sha Zhu looked at the skinny, dishevelled woman in front of him and didn't recognize her for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was really Qin Huairu!

How did Qin Huairu become like this? Whose baby is that in her arms?

Sha Zhu's heart was full of questions. He looked at Qin Huairu, who was crying bitterly, and felt mixed emotions...

Sha Zhu's head was buzzing. The woman in front of him was completely different from the charming Qin Huairu in his memory. In his memory, although Qin Huairu was a widow, she was always neat and tidy, with a pair of watery eyes and a graceful look. She walked with a swaying waist, and she had attracted many men in the courtyard. But now, she was like a withered weed, exuding a breath of despair.

"Huai Ru, what... are you doing?" Sha Zhu spoke with difficulty, his throat feeling like it was blocked by a stone.

Qin Huairu cried even harder when she heard Shazhu's voice, her face was covered with tears and snot, like a child who had been wronged. "Shazhu, I... I really had no other choice, so I came to you..." She spoke intermittently, her voice very hoarse.

Sha Zhu quickly supported her shaky body and helped her sit down on the stone bench in the yard. "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Qin Huairu took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down, but she couldn't stop her tears from flowing. "Silly Zhu, I was kicked out by Jia Zhang... She... She also took my child away..."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was immediately furious. "That old hag Jia Zhang! How dare she do this to you! Where's the child? Is it Sophora japonica or Sophora japonica?"

Qin Huairu shook her head, and the baby in her arms cried softly. "Neither... neither of them..." She choked with sobs, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "This... this is me and..."

When she got to this point, she suddenly stopped, her face turned red and white, and she seemed to be unable to speak. Sha Zhu looked at her like this and vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he didn't dare to believe it, nor did he dare to ask.

"With whom?" Sha Zhu asked in a low voice, his heart pounding.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and finally mustered up the courage to say, "With...with Xu Damao..."

Sha Zhu was stunned as if struck by lightning. Xu Damao? The mortal enemy in the courtyard? Qin Huairu was actually with Xu Damao... He felt his mind go blank and buzzing, as if there were a swarm of bees flying around in it.

He could never have imagined that Qin Huairu would get together with Xu Damao. These two people, one is a widow, the other is a movie projectionist, and they don't seem to have much in common on weekdays, so how could...

"He...he abandoned me..." Qin Huairu cried, "He found a new lover and kicked me out...He doesn't even recognize this child..."

Sha Zhu looked at the thin baby in Qin Huairu's arms, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know whether to sympathize with Qin Huairu or scold her. He just felt that his heart was in a mess, like a tangled mess, and he couldn't sort it out.

"So what are you going to do now?" Sha Zhu asked, his voice a little hoarse.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu with tears in her eyes. "Sha Zhu, I know I've let you down... I used to... I used to... But now I'm really desperate... Can you... Can you take me in..."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's tear-stained face, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He used to like Qin Huairu so much, and he could give everything for her. But now, Qin Huairu has become the woman of his mortal enemy, and even gave birth to a child for him...

What should he do? Keep her in? Or drive her away?

Sha Zhu was caught in a dilemma. There were two voices arguing in his heart. One voice told him that Qin Huairu had brought this upon herself and he should not meddle in her affairs. The other voice told him that Qin Huairu was desperate and he could not stand by and watch her die.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and Xu Damao walked in with a woman dressed up beautifully.

Seeing Qin Huairu, Xu Damao was stunned at first, then a mocking smile appeared on his face. "Hey, isn't this Qin Huairu? What? You were kicked out by me? You deserve it! Who told you to be disobedient!"

When Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao, she was so frightened that she trembled. She hugged the child tightly and hid behind Sha Zhu.
