Chapter 228 Helping Sha Zhu Seek Justice
He Daqing was very clear about the situation. He knew Hou Jie's personality and abilities very well, so he didn't dare to provoke him easily.
Even though he felt somewhat aggrieved and resentful in his heart, in fact, he didn't really care who owned the house.
After all, he had already decided to elope with the White Widow and had never thought of turning back, let alone having the face to see his own children, especially the well-behaved and sensible little daughter, Yu Shui.
Hou Jie noticed He Daqing's reaction and then said, "Okay, let's talk about the second thing. You must hand over the savings left by Zhuzi intact. That was your son's hard-earned money, which he saved bit by bit. It has nothing to do with you as a father!"
However, just as He Daqing was about to nod and agree to this request, the White Widow standing on the side suddenly interrupted and loudly retorted with an anxious look on her face:
"No! Absolutely not! That money is my dowry! Don't think about it. He Daqing promised me personally that all the money he brought back from outside belongs to me!"
Hou Jie widened his eyes and stared at her rudely and with contempt, as if trying to find some trace of shame on her vulgar face.
"You actually have the nerve to ask for a dowry?"
Hou Jie was furious, his voice was deafening, as if he was going to blow the roof off the house.
"You're already married and have a family, with two children to support. Now you're just a helpless widow! How can someone like you have the confidence to make such an outrageous request?"
Hou Jie mercilessly ridiculed He Daqing, his words were as sharp as a knife, piercing people's hearts.
"It's true that after having a stepmother, even the biological father becomes as cold and ruthless as the stepfather. In my opinion, it's better to sever the relationship to avoid entanglement and unnecessary trouble in the future."
"Or maybe you can let Shazhu and Yushui live with you! At worst, they can just find a new job if they lose it! He's just a cook anyway, and there are places in the world that need cooks."
He Daqing was panicked when he heard this. If his son really stayed here, everything would be ruined.
After all, it was I who cruelly abandoned Shazhu and Yushui. If I expect them to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life, I'm afraid the hope is very slim!
When the widow Bai, who was standing aside, heard these words, she secretly thought: It is better to break off the engagement, so that He Daqing can help her raise her son wholeheartedly! "Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smug smile appeared on the face of the widow Bai.
He Daqing was thinking about a plan, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted rudely by the White Widow.
She turned around and yelled at He Daqing, "He Daqing, if you don't break off the relationship today, get out of here. As for the money, don't even think about taking a penny with you."
When Sha Zhu heard the word "severing the relationship", he raised his eyes and looked at his father's face. His eyes revealed a deep expectation.
In the end, the Qing Dynasty still chose the White Widow. This decision made Sha Zhu heartbroken. Unable to bear this blow, Sha Zhu burst into tears and completely gave up.
When Hou Jie saw this scene, he was shocked. He had never seen such a determined and cruel father. For a woman, He Daqing could even give up his own child.
"Very good, we don't need Zhu's savings, but you still have to pay child support. This is required by law. If you don't pay, we will go to court."
"Words are not enough, so I'll write it down as proof. He Daqing raised his children until they reached adulthood, paying them 10 yuan a month in child support. From now on, there is no longer a father-son relationship."
He Daqing was very reluctant, but thinking about his future good life, he decisively abandoned his children.
Both parties signed a severance agreement and a letter of guarantee.
Seeing that the matter was properly resolved, Hou Jie's mouth corners slightly raised, but this was not a satisfied smile, but a sly and mocking one. His eyes, which were originally as calm as water, now flashed with a resolute and cold light, like a hungry wolf locking onto its prey, with no intention of letting He Daqing go.
He stared at He Daqing in front of him with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through the other's eyes and see through his inner thoughts.
At the same time, his tone became unusually harsh, filled with deep dissatisfaction and an undisguised sense of pressure:
"He Daqing, He Daqing, you are really amazing! Look at your precious son Zhuzi, he has grown so big, in a few years he will be able to start a family, get married and have children. But you just abandoned him without any hesitation. It is really rare to be a father like you!"
Having said this, Hou Jie paused for a moment, and then continued in an almost provocative tone: "How about this, tomorrow I will go find a reliable father for Zhuzi, so that he can have a proper father to teach him how to behave in the world! So that he won't learn bad things from an unreliable guy like you!"
Facing Hou Jie's aggressive words, He Daqing was surprisingly calm. Ever since he signed the letter of severance, his heart had been as silent as ashes.
He deeply understood that the relationship between him and Sha Zhu had come to an end and could never be restored. At this point, he had completely given up and no longer had any unrealistic fantasies or expectations about Sha Zhu's future life. After all, some damage, once done, could never be repaired.
Hou Jie's threat did not move him much. He raised his head and looked at Hou Jie coldly, with a helpless but resolute smile on his lips: "It doesn't matter. If you have the ability, just go find one! Then I can save a lot of money. This kind of stupid son who makes trouble every day, I really can't count on him when I get old."
"You are awesome..."
Hou Jie gave He Daqing a thumbs up with an expression of admiration, but he didn't say the disdain in his heart.
When you are old and kicked out of your home by two ungrateful people, you will return to the capital to look for idiot Zhuzi to take care of you in your old age.
"He Daqing, don't forget, from now on, send the money directly to Zhuzi, and don't send it to Yi Zhonghai. He is a hypocrite, you are trusting the wrong person."
He Daqing naturally didn't believe Hou Jie's evaluation of Yi Zhonghai. It was just that Yi Zhonghai disguised himself too well.
Hou Jie suddenly turned around and saw the frustrated Sha Zhu. Without hesitation, he slapped him loudly on the back of the head. Then he quickly and forcefully grabbed him and dragged Sha Zhu away roughly.
Hou Jie comforted him, "Don't cry, look at how cowardly you are. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Your father is so cruel. Forcing you to stay together is not a good thing."
Sha Zhu's face was covered with tears at this moment, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and struggle. He looked back, but unfortunately he had been pulled to the ground by Hou Jie, and his resistance was futile.
When He Daqing saw his son's reaction, he felt as if his heart was hit by a hammer and was in unbearable pain.
I can't help but ask myself, did I do something wrong?
After all, Sha Zhu is his biological son, and the relationship between them has become deep and complicated after more than a decade of dependence. Facing Hou Jie's harsh attitude and Sha Zhu's reluctance to leave, he feels a deep sense of powerlessness.
Just as He Daqing was about to step forward to intervene, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind, like an icy blade scratching his skin.
He looked back and saw the White Widow standing there, with a cold and sharp light flashing in her eyes. Her eyes were like a cold blade, staring at He Daqing tightly, making his scalp tense instantly.
He Daqing felt uncomfortable under the gaze of the White Widow. He felt a chill coming from behind, as if the whole world had become cold and silent.
He wanted to refute or explain, but in the end he chose to remain silent. He took a deep breath, then turned around and fled back to the house in shame.
