When Sha Zhu saw this, he was delighted and asked, "What's wrong with you? Who has offended you again?"

He Yushui was originally furious, but when she saw Sha Zhu's bruised face, she felt distressed and said, "Brother Pingzi was too cruel, but you deserved it. Come with me and apologize to Brother Pingzi."

After saying that, he pulled Sha Zhu to go out. Sha Zhu broke free and said, "Why? I was beaten. Why are you leaning your elbow outward?"

He Yushui rolled her eyes and said, "I know everything that happened. What does this have to do with Brother Pingzi? Think about how good the Lin family has been to us. Shouldn't you apologize for framing them for no reason?"

Sha Zhu thought that he was a bit impulsive at that time, and remembered how good the Lin family was to Yu Shui. If it weren't for their help, Yu Shui wouldn't have been able to live so comfortably. He felt embarrassed for a moment, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize, so he stood there motionless.

How could He Yushui not understand her silly brother? She rolled her eyes and said, "It is a great honor to admit your mistakes and then improve them. Let's go."

This time, Sha Zhu didn't struggle and followed He Yushui out of the house.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the He siblings going to the west wing again, his face looked extremely ugly. It was not easy for him to instigate them once, but it was ruined by that damn girl He Yushui.

But when the two of them came to the west wing courtyard door, it was locked. Sha Zhu said cheerfully: "Yu Shui, don't blame me. There's no one at his house."

He Yushui rolled his eyes at Sha Zhu and said, "He must be in the back room." After that, he pulled Sha Zhu to the back room.

Back cover room.

The whole Lin family was having a great time because Li Jing was pregnant again. Wang Xiuzhi was very happy, so they set up a table to celebrate.

When Sha Zhu and his sister came in, they saw this huge table of delicious food. Wang Xiuzhi saw Sha Zhu and He Yushui coming in and said with a smile, "Zhu Zi and Yushui, come and eat together."

He Yushui said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Wang."

Sha Zhu said somewhat awkwardly: "Auntie Wang, I've eaten."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started to growl. Wang Xiuzhi said with a smile, "The conflict between you and Pingzi is your own business. Don't be polite when you come to Aunt Wang's place. I treat Yushui like half my daughter. Hurry up and sit down to eat."

Sha Zhu felt warm at heart when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "I will listen to Aunt Wang."

Lin Qingya couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw it. Lin Qingyan couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and whispered, "It's a happy day, don't spoil the fun."

Everyone first congratulated Li Jing on her pregnancy. Lin An and Li Jing couldn't stop smiling. After that, Sha Zhu poured himself a glass of wine, stood up and toasted Lin Shanhai and Wang Xiuzhi, saying, "Aunt Wang, Uncle Lin, I, Sha Zhu, can't speak, but I have always kept your kindness in my heart. My family was short of food and drink at the beginning. If it weren't for your help with rainwater, I wouldn't have been able to raise them so well. I'll toast you first." After that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Lin Qingya curled her lips and said, "You still have some conscience."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Are you my sister-in-law or Qingya's sister? I apologize for yesterday. I hope you will not bear grudge. I'll drink first as a token of my respect." After that, he poured another glass.

Lin Shanhai interrupted, "Okay, Zhuzi, it's normal for you youngsters to fight and quarrel. We, as the elders, don't want to interfere. But you can quarrel but don't really hurt the harmony, otherwise I won't allow it."

Sha Zhu stood up again and said, "I've taken note of what Uncle Lin said."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Ping and said, "Pingzi, I'll toast you a glass as well. It was my fault at that time, so don't take it to heart." After saying that, he toasted another glass.

Lin Ping drank a glass with him and said, "You are stubborn, how can I be on the same level with you?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "Then I feel relieved."

Is Sha Zhu really stupid? He is not stupid. He knows how the Lin family treated him and his sister. He did not think much about it at that time and went to find Lin Ping on impulse. Thinking about it now, he finds it ridiculous. Why would they do such a wicked thing when they have such a beautiful wife?

Once the conversation started, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The only people left at the table were Lin Shanhai, Lin Ping, Lin An, Wang Xiuzhi, Wang Xiumei, Sha Zhu and He Yushui. The other children and Li Jing and Lin Yun had all gone back to their rooms.

Lin Ping took a sip of wine and started the conversation: "Yushui, have you told your brother?"

He Yushui shook his head and said, "It's too early to tell."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui and asked, "What's the matter?"

As soon as He Yushui told the story, Sha Zhu immediately said with a sullen face: "Don't mention that old man. I don't have such a father. He had the heart to abandon Yushui when she was just a child. Can such a person be considered a father?"

He Yushui's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this. The helplessness and confusion when He Daqing left at that time appeared in front of her eyes. But even so, she still wanted to ask He Daqing why he was so cruel to abandon them. So she choked up and said, "Silly brother, I still want to meet him and ask him face to face."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu sneered, "Yu Shui, have you forgotten that when we went to look for him, he sent the White Widow to deal with us and never saw us again. We returned to Sijiu City hungry."

He Yushui recalled that she was only seven years old at that time. She was so hungry that she had to endure the loneliness and disappointment in her heart. She didn't know how desperate she was at that time. Thinking of this, He Yushui lay on the table and couldn't help crying.

Wang Xiuzhi immediately hugged He Yushui to comfort her. Lin Shanhai also felt sorry for He Yushui. After all, He Yushui had almost grown up in the Lin family in the past few years and was no different from other Lin family members. So he frowned and asked, "Zhuzi, is there any news about your father? Although your father and I are not close friends, he loved Yushui the most back then. How could he not care about Yushui's life or death? I don't understand this at all. Even if he had his own difficulties, he should have sent Yushui living expenses."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Lin, how could he still remember us brothers and sisters? He is enjoying life with the White Widow right now."

Lin Ping said, "It's useless for you to say these things. You have to ask him face to face. Besides, Yu Shui is already a girl in her teens. She must meet He Daqing. You have to fulfill this wish. Zhuzi, do you think this makes sense?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui, whose eyes were red, and said reluctantly, "Okay, then I'll take Yushui to Baocheng to meet that old man."

Lin Shanhai thought about it and said, "When you two arrive in Baocheng, go directly to He Daqing's workplace. Don't go to his home. Maybe the White Widow was behind it last time."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, I understand. When we get to Baocheng, I will first ask where He Daqing works."

He Yushui asked anxiously: "Silly brother, when are we going?"

Seeing He Yushui's anxious look, Sha Zhu said with a smile, "If you don't want to delay school, we'll leave tomorrow."

He Yushui nodded and said, "I'm fine. I'm doing well in my studies and it won't affect me."

After deciding to go to Baocheng tomorrow, Lin Ping warned: "Zhuzi, don't let anyone in the courtyard know that you are going to Baocheng."

Seeing Sha Zhu opening his mouth to speak, he said, "Don't ask why. Just do as I say."

Sha Zhu thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I won't tell anyone."

The next morning.

He Yushui did not go to school, but packed up at home to go to Baocheng to meet He Daqing. Sha Zhu went to work with Yi Zhonghai and others as usual, but as soon as he arrived at the factory, he asked for leave from the director to go home.

11:00 am, Baocheng Station.

Shazhu He Yushui came out of the station and went straight to the home of Bai Guafu in his memory. However, when he arrived at the door of Bai Guafu's house, he did not knock. Instead, he asked around about He Daqing's workplace.

City West Hotel.

He Daqing was drinking tea prepared by his apprentice in the kitchen when he heard someone come in and say, "Master He, someone is looking for you at the door. They say it's your son and daughter."

He Daqing almost choked on his tea when he heard this. He quickly stood up and walked out. It had been eight years. How could he not miss his children? Especially when the rain was so light at the time, he didn't know if Sha Zhu could take good care of her.

The hotel entrance.

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu anxiously and asked, "Sha Ge, do you think our dad can see us?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu said angrily, "What do you mean by our father? I don't have such an irresponsible father. Without Uncle Yi's help, my brother and I would not have survived."

As they were talking, He Daqing rushed out of the hotel. When he saw He Yushui and Shazhu, He Daqing's eyes instantly turned red. He took a few steps forward and trembled, "Zhuzi, Yushui, how have you been these years? Why didn't you write back to dad? Are you blaming dad in your heart?"

As He Daqing spoke, tears fell from his eyes, and he stretched out his trembling arms to hug He Yushui.

When He Yushui saw his father in tears, all the resentment in his heart disappeared. He cried and threw himself into He Daqing's arms, crying, "Dad... Dad, how could you be so cruel to abandon me and my brother? Do you know that we almost starved to death, wuwu..."

For some reason, Sha Zhu's eyes turned red when he saw this scene, but he had his own persistence. He would not easily forgive He Daqing without finding out the reason, so he turned his head and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

He Daqing was startled when he heard this. He thought to himself that he had left money for the child, so why did Yushui say that he almost starved to death? So he asked, "Yushui, can you tell me what happened?"

He Yushui said that when He Daqing just left, Sha Zhu worked as a kitchen helper in a restaurant without any salary and could only rely on taking some leftovers to fill his stomach at night. The two children depended on that meal at night, so how could they get enough to eat? It was really difficult at the beginning.

After listening to He Yushui's story, He Daqing was furious and said, "You are so mean Yi Zhonghai, I trusted you so much, but you treated me like this. You want my two and a half children to hate me so that I can provide for you in your old age."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu sneered and said, "Why do you say that about Uncle Yi? If it weren't for Uncle Yi, we would have starved to death long ago."

He Daqing knew that he couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, so he asked someone to ask for leave for him, and then took the two siblings to a guesthouse.

After sitting down, He Daqing smiled bitterly and said, "I know you two must hate me to death. I didn't know you came to protect the city. It was all the fault of the White Widow herself. Don't worry, I will deal with her when I get back."

How could Sha Zhu believe it? He sneered, "Don't use the White Widow as an excuse. If you hadn't run away, these things wouldn't have happened. If you want to find a companion, can Yu Shui and I not accommodate her?"

He Daqing knew that he had to explain everything one by one, so he sighed and said, "Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, listen to me. I had my own reasons for leaving Sijiu City. But I left the two hundred yuan with Yi Zhonghai when I left because I was afraid that you two would starve. After all, Zhu Zi was not old enough to take up the post, and Yu Shui was still so young. How could I not care about you? I sent you ten yuan every month. If you don't believe me, I have the receipts."
