Sha Zhu took the note written by Lou Xiao'e back to report. Bang Geng couldn't wait to unfold it and read it. The words on it were all written in traditional Chinese characters. He didn't recognize most of them and could only guess.

Qin Huairu used to write in traditional Chinese characters when she was in school. She took it and looked at it, and her face looked a little unhappy.

"And he said he didn't kidnap Huaihua! He even changed his name to follow her last name! Huaihua's name is Lou Jingyi now."

"Damn Lou Xiao'e! Why didn't a thunderbolt come down to strike her to death? She is so cruel. Can anyone in my Jia family take her surname Lou?" After hearing this, Jia Zhang gasped and cursed Lou Xiao'e.

"We've got the address and phone number. What should we do now? Mom, go to the post office tomorrow to make a long-distance call." Bang Geng urged hurriedly.

"Isn't it too expensive to make a long-distance call? Write to her now and tell that money-loser to pack up her things and come back quickly!" Jia Zhang glared and said the following.

Banggeng went to the inner room to get paper and pen. He leaned over the table and wrote just two or three words when he began to scratch his ears and cheeks.

"What's the matter? Why don't you write it quickly? Don't talk too much to her, just write that you want her to go home immediately after receiving the letter! Also, ask her to bring back more money!" Jia Zhangshi didn't know who gave her the confidence, she spoke shamelessly.

"I haven't written for many years and have forgotten everything. I'll call Xiaodang over and ask her to write this letter to Huaihua."

Banggeng dropped his pen and ran to the east wing to call Xiaodang over. Now the living conditions of the Jia family are unique in the whole Nanluoguxiang! Jia Zhang lived alone in the west wing, Banggeng occupied the main room in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu and his wife lived in the back room, and Xiaodang moved into the east wing.

Xiaodang was called into the west wing. When she found out that it was a letter to her sister Huaihua, she could not believe her ears.

Her sister had been missing for many years! She remembered that when she was about to go to primary school, her sister suddenly disappeared. Later, she heard that her sister went to Hong Kong with Aunt Lou. She always envied Huaihua for having someone to take her in.

She got home very late from get off work the past two days, and no one told her what happened in the courtyard.

"Xiaodang, just write that your family is looking forward to your return after seeing this letter." Qin Huairu told Xiaodang. Jia Zhang's domineering tone must not be realized in writing.

Why did I come back? To be exploited by you? Xiao Dang thought indignantly.

As soon as she graduated from junior high school, she was assigned to work as a temporary worker. After all these years, she finally got a formal job and now works in a garment factory run by the district.

Her grandmother strictly forbade her to find a partner now and told her to contribute to the family. She is already 23 years old this year, and still doesn't dare to have a boyfriend.

She knew very well that she was contributing to her brother Banggeng's good life. He handed over all his monthly salary, leaving her only 5 yuan for living expenses. Her brother Banggeng was well-dressed, smoking, drinking and going out with his girlfriend, while she ate dry buns every day at the factory.

She was looking forward to her family's consent to her dating every day so that she could get married immediately. As long as she could leave this home, she would be willing to marry a cripple or disabled man.

After writing the letter in a few words, Xiao Dang went back to the east room without looking back. There was no envelope or stamp at home, so he could only wait until tomorrow.

In the back room, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were sleeping with their backs to each other. Qin Huairu had ignored Sha Zhu for two days! Now both of them were awake, each thinking about their own things.

Whenever Sha Zhu closed his eyes, the image of Lou Xiao'e that he saw during the day would appear in his mind. She was more attractive than she was a dozen years ago, which made him feel unable to extricate himself from her both physically and mentally.

He wanted to see her again, but what reasonable excuse could he find? He could only think of something about Little Sophora japonica. He said that the Jia family couldn't contact Sophora japonica for the time being, so they asked him to come to her and find a solution.

Qin Huairu was thinking about how to win her little daughter's heart after Huaihua came back. Huaihua was really a timely help, which could make a contribution to the family.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was very anxious! She called Jingyi's villa every ten or twenty minutes, but no one answered.

It’s impossible that there is no one at Jingyi Villa all the time. What about the maid couple?

Lou Xiao'e stayed at the front desk for more than two hours but still couldn't get through. She hurried back to the guest room to find her mother, Tan Yali.

"Don't worry! I'll call Qi Gang and ask him to drive over to take a look."

Tan Yali and her daughter had just come down from the guest room and had not yet reached the lobby front desk of the hotel when they ran into Liu Quan and his maid named Wang.

"What happened at home? Why are you here?" Tan Yali hurriedly asked the maid named Wang.

"Nothing happened! Miss Jingyi asked us to come and deliver a letter to her." Old Wang replied.

Both mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a false alarm! Lou Xiao'e took the letter and read it over and over again, not knowing what her daughter meant.

"What did Jingyi say in the letter?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Tan Yali asked curiously.

"She told me not to go to the courtyard and not to interact with anyone there. Otherwise, something bad would happen! She also told us to go back as soon as we were done." Lou Xiao'e was completely confused. Why?

"Well, tomorrow you take Lao Zhang and the others to the airport to return to Hong Kong first, and Liu Quan will stay with me. Since Lao Wang and his wife are here, they can stay at home for a few more days."

Tan Yali told her daughter to settle the matter! She did not allow Lou Xiao'e to object. She had guessed that her granddaughter definitely did not want to have anything to do with her so-called relatives, so she sent a maid to deliver the letter in a hurry. But Lou Xiao'e had already gone to the courtyard, and her granddaughter's so-called relatives would soon come to find them.

The next day at noon, Sha Zhu left the steel mill early. He couldn't help but call Lou Xiao'e, but no one answered the phone. When he called again, the call was transferred to the front desk, and the waiter told him that the guest in room 815 had checked out.

Shazhu's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. God had played a joke on him! He had just left a little hope, but now it was all shattered!

This shouldn't be the case! Yesterday Lou Xiao'e was still very enthusiastic and didn't have any aversion to him. She came to Sijiucheng this time to get her house back. Did she return the house to her family and move back to Dongdan?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he came back from outside in a daze and saw an old man sitting on the corridor of the main house in the middle courtyard. As he got closer, he found that the old man looked more and more familiar.

The old man looked at him and stood up suddenly. He stared at him with his lips trembling, and called him, "Silly Zhu!"

Sha Zhu was stunned! Wasn't this his irresponsible cheap father, He Daqing? He actually had the nerve to come back!

"Why did you come back? You left us two siblings behind and ran off with a widow. Now that you're old and can't work anymore, you want to come back to retire? How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

Sha Zhu was already in a terrible mood! Now when he saw He Daqing appear, he was furious.

"Zhu Zi, listen to me. I had no choice but to do it at that time! I didn't ignore you two siblings. I sent you living expenses every month in Baoding. It was fifteen yuan per month in the first two years, and ten yuan per month after that. I kept sending it until Yu Shui turned eighteen years old." He Daqing quickly explained.

"I received your shitty living expenses! Don't try to play tricks on me. Get out of here right now!" Sha Zhu shouted angrily, and without caring about He Daqing, he went to the backyard.

He Daqing's face turned pale! He slowly began to look ferocious. He turned around and went to the east wing! He kicked open the door of Yi Zhonghai's house and rushed in.

"I said you were hiding at home and didn't dare to come out to see me. It turns out you were guilty! What did you tell me at the beginning? How dare you lie to me!"

He Daqing grabbed Yi Zhonghai and punched him in the face. After a few blows, Yi Zhonghai's nose and face were swollen.

"This is none of our business. It was the deaf old lady's idea. Please stop fighting!"

Auntie Chen Shufen covered her chest with her hands and tried to come over to stop the fight, but just after taking two steps towards them, she collapsed to the ground.

"Don't hit him yet, Lao He! Wait until I take my wife to the hospital, and then I'll come back and beat or kill her as you wish."

Yi Zhonghai knew he was in the wrong! He could only beg He Daqing. He Daqing turned around and saw that Aunt Chen Shufen's face was pale and her lips were purple. Knowing that this was not an act, he quickly let go.

Yi Zhonghai quickly asked a neighbor to call a tricycle for him at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, and he carried his wife on his back and left the courtyard.

He Daqing carried his luggage and went to the front yard. He found his third uncle Yan Bugui and wanted to know what had happened in the courtyard during the decades when he was away.
