Luo Xiujuan returned to Yu Shui's room. She asked Yu Shui to finish her homework first and then helped her wash her hair.

She sat on the edge of the bed and recalled what Lou Xiao'e had said.

It seems that Lou Xiao'e said everything and yet said nothing.

But there is one thing she can be sure of, Lou Xiao'e is definitely not the kind of person who gossips.

She seemed to be revealing some important information to her, but what kind of secret it was, it still depended on her and Zhuzi to dig deeper themselves.

After a long silence, she decided to talk to Zhuzi.

Seeing Luo Xiujuan coming to find him, Sha Zhu felt a little secretly happy, he thought it was...

"Zhu Zi, I have something very important to tell you."

"Xiujuan, you're not going to regret it, are you?" When Sha Zhu heard the word "important", he couldn't help but think of the worst.

"What nonsense! I won't do anything like that."

"Oh! This scared me." Sha Zhu said and patted his chest.

"But what I'm about to say will upset you, and you might get angry with me."

"Except for telling me that you regret something, I won't be in a hurry to say anything else."

"I want your father to come back to our wedding."

"Impossible. Don't even think about it." Sha Zhu almost howled.

"Look! You tried to fool me so that I wouldn't get angry, but now I am angry."

"Why are you mentioning him for no reason?"

"Why do you think I mentioned him?" Luo Xiujuan also raised her voice.

"If I don't mention him, he doesn't exist? Yes, you haven't had any contact for many years, but as long as he is alive, he will always be your father."

"I don't have such a father. My father died a long time ago." Sha Zhu said angrily.

"If he's really dead, just treat it as if I farted. But if he's not dead, you can't escape it.

I don't know how your father treated you and your siblings before he passed away, but have you ever thought that if he was really a heartless person, would he leave the house and the job to you? You should have seen your spouse after you married! Which family doesn't suffer from the loss of the one who left behind.

I don't have to ask you to recognize him as your father. I just want to resolve this issue before we get married. Whether he is severing the father-son relationship or there is another hidden story, we have to figure it out and can't just leave it like this.

If He Daqing is really a fool, we will put an advertisement in the newspaper to break off relations with him completely.

From now on, we will live our lives steadily, support Yu Shui to go to college, find her a good husband, and give her a big dowry. I promise not to let Yu Shui suffer any grievances.

But if there is a secret that we don't know, just think about it, you will regret it in your life."

Sha Zhu was a little excited at first, but under Luo Xiujuan's guidance, he gradually calmed down.

"I know you have always been resentful towards He Daqing because of what happened back then, but blood is thicker than water.

Zhuzi, in fact, you have always longed for fatherly love in your heart, haven't you?" Luo Xiujuan said softly."

Sha Zhu lowered his head in deep thought for a long time, then raised his head, "Maybe you are right, but..."

"Give him a chance, and give yourself a chance too." Luo Xiujuan held Sha Zhu's hand. After all, he is her biological father. How can there be a knot that cannot be untied?"

Sha Zhu looked at Luo Xiujuan, a touch of emotion and relief flashed in his eyes, "Okay, I'll think about it."

"What's the point of considering it? I just despise your indecisiveness! Let's go to Baoding tomorrow. I don't believe we can't figure it out."

"But it's been so many years, where can I find it?"

"Go ask the White Widow's neighbors. If that doesn't work, go to the police station. How can she not register when she moves in and out? Can we just ignore it when we find her biological father?"

The night sky was full of twinkling stars, and in the hearts of Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan, a star seemed to light up as well.

"Oh! I don't know if Xiujuan can understand the essence of my spoiler!" Lou Xiao'e murmured in Xu Damao's arms.

"With Xiujuan's intelligence, even if she can't figure it out for the time being, she will be able to guess it almost exactly in a few days." Xu Damao said, patting Lou Xiao'e gently on the back.

The next morning, Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan came to find Xu Damao and his wife, saying that they were going to Baoding to find He Daqing and asked them to help take care of Yu Shui. They also asked them to tell others that Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan had returned to Lianhua Village.

After this incident, Lou Xiao'e's impression of Luo Xiujuan reached a new level.

She can quickly understand the core elements of things and take immediate action.

She was able to convince Sha Zhu, a man with resentment deep in his bones, to go find He Daqing in a short period of time.

What does this show? It shows that this young lady possesses the abilities that a workplace elite should have.

Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan first found the neighbor of Bai Guafu and asked about her whereabouts. The neighbor told them that Bai Guafu had moved away many years ago and they didn't know where she went.

With no results, they could only go to the police station. After some searching, they finally got some clues about the White Widow.

It turned out that after He Daqing and Bai Guafu left Sijiucheng, they returned to Baoding and opened a small restaurant.

Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan boarded the train to Baoding with the clues.

Since the two cities were not far apart, we arrived there quickly in more than four hours.

The two anxious people asked along the way and found He Daqing's small restaurant. They stood at the door of the restaurant with mixed feelings.

Luo Xiujuan took Sha Zhu's hand and encouraged him to go in. Sha Zhu took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The store was busy, and when He Daqing saw Sha Zhu, he was stunned.

Sha Zhu looked at the slightly old man in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He held back the word "Dad" that was already on the tip of his tongue.

He Daqing was in tears. He walked forward and hugged Sha Zhu tightly.

"Uncle He, I am Zhuzi's daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family." Luo Xiujuan said.

He Daqing let go of Sha Zhu, wiped his tears, and nodded to Luo Xiujuan.

Sha Zhu still said nothing, so Luo Xiujuan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying that they were still hungry.

He Daqing hurriedly asked them to sit down and wait for a while, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.

Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan sat in the store for a while. Luo Xiujuan tried to ease the atmosphere, but Sha Zhu kept a stern face.

Just then, a woman in her forties walked in from outside the restaurant, carrying a vegetable basket in each hand.

She is slightly plump, with fair skin, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes show the traces of time.

She walked past the table where Sha Zhu and Luo Xiujuan were sitting. Suddenly she stopped, and after a few seconds, she turned around and looked at Sha Zhu, "Are you Zhuzi?"

Sha Zhu was at a loss for words when asked by the woman.

"Are you He Yuzhu?" the woman asked again.

Luo Xiujuan had almost guessed the woman's identity. She looked at Sha Zhu who was silent, and then continued: "He is He Yuzhu, who are you?"

The woman confirmed that the person in front of her was Sha Zhu, and said with a wry smile: "I am Bai Lianhua, or the White Widow as others call her."

After the woman finished speaking, she asked Luo Xiujuan, "Who are you, young lady?"

"My name is Luo Xiujuan, and I'm Zhuzi's future daughter-in-law."

"Okay, okay! Zhuzi has already married. Time flies! Did you two come from the Forbidden City? How did you find this place?"

"Let me call you Aunt Bai! We came from Sijiu City and asked your former neighbors, but they didn't know where you were, so we went to the police station... and found you here." Luo Xiujuan replied.

"Alas! I can't escape it after all. That's all!" Bai Lianhua whispered.
