My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 181: Finding a Letter at the Post Office

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui, whose mood had improved somewhat, and said, "Yushui, have you thought about finding your father?"

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, He Yushui paused for a moment, then said with a forlorn expression, "Brother Zhang Lei, why did you bring him up?"

Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui and said, "Yushui, although I don't know what your father did to you before, I believe that as a father, he would not abandon his children without a reason, much less ignore them."

He Yushui looked at Zhang Lei with a puzzled expression and said, "Brother Zhang Lei, you don't understand. My dad is different. He abandoned me when I was little!"

Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui, thought for a moment, and said, "Yushui, how about we go to the post office together?"

He Yushui looked at Zhang Lei with a puzzled expression: "Going to the post office? Brother Zhang Lei, what are you going there for?"

Zhang Lei said mysteriously, "Rain, don't worry about that now, come on, let's go together!"

As he spoke, Zhang Lei grabbed He Yushui's hand and started walking outside.

He Yushui blushed deeply when she saw her hand being held by Zhang Lei.

Reaching the bicycle outside, Zhang Lei looked at his own little hand, then at He Yushui's flushed face, and immediately realized he had been a bit too bold. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Yushui, don't misunderstand, I was just thinking about something and forgot to let go."

Soon, Zhang Lei rode his bicycle with He Yushui to the post office.

At this moment, Zhang Lei looked at the staff member and said, "Hello, I'd like to ask if there are any letters here that He Daqing sent to He Yushui or He Yuzhu?"

After hearing Zhang Lei's words, the staff member looked up at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Lei pointed to the person next to him and said, "This is He Yushui. She wants to see if there are any letters from He Daqing sent from Baoding."

The staff member looked at He Yushui and asked, "Who is He Daqing to you?"

He Yushui said softly, "He Daqing is my father."

Upon hearing this, the staff member glanced at He Yushui and then said, "Please wait a moment while I check."

While the staff went to look up the letters, Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui and asked, "Yushui, do you know your father? Do you remember when he left you?"

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "It should be when I was about 7 years old."

"Around 7 years old?" Zhang Lei thought for a moment, "Was it around 1951?"

He Yushui nodded.

Zhang Lei thought for a moment. It was 1959 now, which was about eight or nine years ago.

Soon, after the two had waited for about ten minutes, a staff member came over and said, "We found it. There is a letter from He Daqing, and there is money in the letter."

Upon hearing this, He Yushui was shocked and shouted, "What? There's a letter and money too?"

At this moment, Zhang Lei grabbed He Yushui and said, "Yushui, calm down!"

At this moment, the staff member looked at He Yushui and said, "Yes, I checked the records before. From around October 1951 until now, it has been sent almost every month."

He Yushui was incredulous upon hearing the staff member's words, saying, "No, impossible! How could he possibly send me a letter and money? Didn't he abandon us?"

He Yushui's reaction startled the staff. Zhang Lei quickly reassured them, saying, "She's just too excited, too excited. I'll go comfort her."

Zhang Lei quickly led He Yushui outside the post office, then gently patted her back and said softly, "Yushui, don't get excited. Isn't this a good thing? Your father has never forgotten you all these years. He sends letters and money every month, but he just hasn't shown up for some reason."

He Yushui cried and hid her head in Zhang Lei's arms.

Zhang Lei was startled by He Yushui's actions, because he saw many people outside the post office glancing in their direction every now and then.

At this moment, Zhang Lei quickly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It's my sister, it's my sister. She's my sister, and she cried because of something."

While everyone laughed at Zhang Lei's explanation, some people still kept glancing over here.

Zhang Lei quickly patted He Yushui and said, "Yushui, Yushui, don't cry, listen to me."

He Yushui looked at Zhang Lei, wiped away her tears, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang Lei."

Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui and said, "It's okay. But you can't cry anymore. If you keep crying like this, I think you'll get arrested as a hooligan."

Hearing this, He Yushui chuckled.

Seeing He Yushui smile, Zhang Lei said, "This is the Yushui I know. Smile more."

Looking at Zhang Lei, He Yushui said, "Brother Zhang Lei, my dad has been sending letters and money to my brother and me for so many years, but why have we never received them even once?"

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Rain, I don't know the details of this matter either, but I know a way."

He Yushui looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "What method?"

Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui and said, "Yushui, promise me first that you won't tell anyone about this, including your brother."

He Yushui looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Lei said, "What else could it be? Don't you know what your brother's situation is like now? Besides, your brother is a bit silly, just like his nickname, and he's often brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai. If this matter involves Yi Zhonghai and his gang, do you think your brother would forgive them all at once?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Yushui immediately realized something and said, "Brother Zhang Lei, are you saying that Yi Zhonghai was involved in this?"

Zhang Lei quickly explained, "This is just a guess, a guess."

Hearing Zhang Lei say that, He Yushui looked at him and said, "Then, Brother Zhang Lei, what should I do?"

Zhang Lei said, "That's easy. Go to Baoding and tell your dad that your brother is dying and wants to see him one last time. No matter how heartless your dad is, he can't possibly refuse to see his son one last time."

He Yushui listened to Zhang Lei's words and said, "Brother Zhang Lei, is it okay for me to lie to my dad like this?"

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? He'll only feel ashamed when he sees you. Think about it, all these years, you haven't gotten anything, and you don't even know he's been sending you letters and money. Just imagine how your dad would react if he knew!"

He Yushui thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "But Brother Zhang Lei, I'm scared to go alone."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'm free right now anyway, I'll take you there, okay?"

Hearing that Zhang Lei would accompany her, He Yushui said with emotion, "Thank you, Brother Zhang Lei."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Why are you thanking me? Aren't you the little wife I've already decided to marry?"

Hearing this, He Yushui immediately covered her face. Looking at the easily amused little girl, Zhang Lei laughed and said, "You're really easily teased; you actually took it seriously."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Yushui was so angry that she wanted to hit Zhang Lei, but Zhang Lei dodged her.

The two bickered and teased each other all the way back to the courtyard house.

He Yushui remembered Zhang Lei's words and did not tell anyone about this.
