Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 270 Liu Xiuxiu's Determination

He Daqing walked slowly into the courtyard, each step seemed unusually heavy. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was spotted by the third aunt who had been guarding the door with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

The third aunt's eyes immediately became focused. She slightly adjusted the way she held Chang'an, walked forward quickly, and asked in her usual straightforward tone: "Uncle He, you are finally back. How are things going?"

As she spoke, she carefully looked at He Daqing. Her eyes were like a scanner, not missing any subtle expression on He Daqing's face. She frowned slightly, as if trying to peek out a hint of hidden emotions from his calm appearance.

He Daqing took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound more stable. He forced a slightly far-fetched smile towards the third aunt.

He stretched out his hand and gently took Chang'an, with a hint of unquestionable firmness in his voice: "It's done, Third Aunt. I'll take Chang'an back first."

The third aunt looked at He Daqing's seemingly calm face, but a trace of doubt surged in her heart. She always felt that there was some unknown secret behind He Daqing's smile. But she didn't ask more, just handed Changan over silently.

The moment He Daqing turned around with Chang'an in his arms, the smile on his face instantly disappeared without a trace. His brows were furrowed, and his face showed an unprecedented solemnity and worry.

He lowered his head and looked at Chang'an who was sleeping in his arms, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that he couldn't let the people in the compound know the true situation of He Yuzhu, otherwise there would be some changes.

......

Liu Xiuxiu rode her bicycle happily back to the courtyard, with a warm smile on her face, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face. She pedaled briskly and greeted the people in the courtyard enthusiastically, as if the unhappiness of the morning had been blown away by the wind.

There was half a pound of fresh pork hanging on her handlebars. She had bought it at the market today after Director Li informed her of a salary increase, intending to use it to celebrate the good news.

The third aunt was sitting by the window, knitting a sweater, and her eyes were inadvertently looking out the window. She saw Liu Xiuxiu's bright smile and the meat in her hand through the window, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

She remembered what Yan Bugui had mentioned about He Yuzhu in the morning, but seeing Liu Xiuxiu's appearance at this moment, she couldn't help but begin to wonder if her own old Yan had remembered it wrong, otherwise how could Liu Xiuxiu still be so happy.

Liu Xiuxiu parked her bicycle, carried the half pound of meat steadily, and walked into the house. As she walked into the house, she shouted loudly: "Dad, I'm back! I bought half a pound of meat. Let's make dumplings to eat in the evening!" Her voice was full of joy.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she found that the room was unusually quiet and no one responded to her voice. She raised her head and looked around in confusion, and then she saw He Daqing sitting at the table. He sat there expressionlessly, his eyes seemed a little dull, and it was obvious that he was worried.

Seeing He Daqing like this, Liu Xiuxiu felt a little uneasy. She walked carefully to He Daqing and asked softly, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Didn't you cook? Why do you look unhappy?" Her voice was full of concern and worry.

He Daqing raised his head and looked at Liu Xiuxiu, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He was silent for a while, then he slowly said: "Xiuxiu, I have something to tell you." His voice was low and serious, making Liu Xiuxiu nervous.

"Dad, what do you want to tell me?" When Liu Xiuxiu heard He Daqing's words, her heart beat faster involuntarily. An ominous premonition, like a shadow in the darkness, quietly enveloped her heart.

He Daqing looked at Liu Xiuxiu's nervous expression and sighed deeply, his voice heavy: "Shazhu...Shazhu was arrested by the security department last night and has not been released yet. We can only wait for the result now."

Liu Xiuxiu's face turned pale instantly, her hands trembled slightly, and she could hardly hold the things in her hands. She bit her lips tightly and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Yuzhu was arrested? What about me and Changan? He...he will be okay, right?"

He Daqing saw Liu Xiuxiu's anxious look and interrupted her: "Okay, Xiuxiu, don't worry. I told you this so that you can have a general idea. We have to be careful recently, maybe someone will come to investigate. Don't panic yourself, or else you will end up with something that was not a problem at all."

After saying that, He Daqing glanced at the meat in her hand, then looked at Liu Xiuxiu who was still immersed in worry, and continued: "The porridge is still warming on the stove. If you don't have an appetite, make something else. Chang'an will sleep with me tonight, so you don't have to worry too much."

However, Liu Xiuxiu seemed to have not heard anything. Her mind was full of worries and panic. She murmured to herself: "What should I do? What should I do? Will it implicate Chang'an and me? No, I can't just sit there and wait for death..." She clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes flashed with determination.
