"Sister? Dongxue?" The two stared blankly at the woman who had entered.

The woman was startled by these two addresses. She stammered, "Um, my two benefactors, my name is Liang Ladi. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

These words startled Zhou Weiguo, a sense of familiarity flashing through his mind. He Daqing, even more agitated, rushed forward and hugged Liang Ladi, weeping bitterly, "Dongxue, I missed you so much! How could you bear to leave me all alone?"

Zhou Weiguo suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be a character in another TV series. Although he had not watched the TV series, he had seen clips of it while browsing short videos. It seemed that this woman in the series had three sons, and her appearance was exactly the same as the eldest sister in his memory.

He Daqing cried like a child. Liang Ladi didn't push him away, but instead gently patted He Daqing's back with a helpless expression, and whispered to comfort him: "Brother, please don't be like this. I'm really not the Dongxue you're talking about."

Zhou Weiguo quickly stepped forward and pulled He Daqing away, explaining with an awkward smile, "I'm sorry, Comrade Liang, my brother-in-law has mistaken me for someone else."

He Daqing was still immersed in his emotions, his eyes red, staring straight at Liang Ladi, muttering to himself, "These eyebrows, this nose, and these lips, they look exactly like Dongxue's. How could they not be? Could it be that Dongxue was reincarnated? But that doesn't make sense, the timing doesn't match up."

Liang Ladi felt uncomfortable under their gaze. She lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes, saying, "My two benefactors saved me and my child. I have no way to repay their kindness. My husband passed away last year. My mother-in-law took my husband's job and our house for her younger brother-in-law. She kicked my mother and me out. We really had no choice but to leave..." As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Zhou Weiguo snapped out of his daze and gestured for her to sit down: "Comrade Liang, please don't stand on ceremony. Feed the baby first."

He Daqing seemed to snap out of a daze, hurriedly handing over the prepared formula, his eyes still fixed on Liang Ladi, muttering, "So alike, so very alike..."

Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo irritably put He Daqing's suitcase on the table next to him: "Alright, alright, stop staring at people, what kind of behavior is that!" He looked at Liang Ladi, his tone softening a bit, "Comrade Liang, you and the child can stay here for now and make plans after you're settled. I'm going out with him to take care of some things." After saying that, he pulled He Daqing and walked out.

As soon as they stepped outside, He Daqing looked unwilling: "Weiguo, why are you pulling me away? She's definitely your sister, I can't mistake her! What if your sister isn't dead? What if your sister has amnesia?"

Zhou Weiguo slapped him in anger: "Are you fucking stupid? Don't you know whether my sister is dead or not? I don't have time to waste here with you. You take me to get the receipt right now, and tell me the location of the Bai family, or the Bai family will use the confession to put you in jail."

He Daqing remained mostly silent throughout the rest of the journey. The two walked for a long time, one after the other, before finally arriving at a small courtyard. Along the way, they didn't encounter any of He Daqing's acquaintances.

He Daqing stopped and pointed to the dilapidated courtyard, lowering his voice to say, "This is the Bai family. You wait here while I go in and check the situation."

After a while, He Daqing came out with a happy expression and waved. Zhou Weiguo went inside, and He Daqing turned around and closed the courtyard gate: "Widow Bai and her two sons aren't home, let's hurry. Oh, by the way, keep this safe." He carefully took out an oil paper package from his pocket, inside which was a stack of yellowed remittance stubs. "All the remittance slips from these years are here."

Zhou Weiguo took the stub and put it away, then looked around. The Bai family's courtyard was larger than he had imagined, but he didn't have time to think about it now. He silently ordered in his mind, "System, start basic scan."

"Ding! 1 energy point consumed. Basic scan activated. 8 energy points remaining."

Zhou Weiguo then searched the Bai family's courtyard. Five minutes later, he finally found an iron box more than a meter deep under a walnut tree in the yard. He put the box into his spatial storage and examined it with his mind. Inside, besides a confession, were several letters. He took the confession and found He Daqing: "He Daqing, look, isn't this it?"

He Daqing was shocked: "Holy crap, where did you find this? I've been looking for it for five years! Let's go, let's go, once we find this thing, I'm no longer afraid of her! I'm so tired of the White Widow, if it weren't for this confession, I would have run away long ago."

Zhou Weiguo looked at him helplessly: "Even if you're excited, you don't have to keep your mouth shut! Wait, let me see if there are any other problems."

He Daqing blushed: "For the sake of the country, nothing else matters. At most, it's just some gold and silver, but I don't care about those things. I still have more hidden outside. Let's go, let's hurry up."

"Just wait, you son of a bitch!" Zhou Weiguo glared at him and resumed his rapid scan.

Five minutes later, Zhou Weiguo, who had collected a bunch of things and entered his spatial dimension, couldn't help but sigh. The Bai family really had a lot of good stuff. Since the Bai family had bullied He Daqing for so many years, he shouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

He went all in and put all the valuables of the Bai family into his spatial storage.

Just as Zhou Weiguo was about to conduct another thorough inspection, He Daqing dragged him away from the Bai family home. Eager to get home, the two sped towards the guesthouse. Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Zhou Weiguo was about to step upstairs when He Daqing again grabbed him.

He Daqing's expression suddenly turned serious: "For the sake of the country, brother-in-law, I have a favor to ask of you."

The moment these words left his mouth, alarm bells rang in Zhou Weiguo's mind, and he instinctively wanted to refuse. But before he could even speak, He Daqing suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, his eyes reddening, his voice choked with sobs: "Brother-in-law, I beg you! All these years, I've never been able to forget your sister. Although I've occasionally acted recklessly outside, I've never thought of remarrying. Until I met the White Widow, and she tricked me so badly. But this Liang Ladi looks so much like your sister, I just can't let her go. I want to help her. Could you go back to Beijing first and take care of Yushui and Zhuzi for me for a while? Once I've finished dealing with things here, I'll come back to find you. Brother-in-law kowtows to you!" He was about to kowtow when he spoke.

This sudden move left Zhou Weiguo dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "When did I say I disagreed? Besides, she looks so much like my sister, how could I not have feelings for her? And Liang Ladi seems reliable too, there's really no reason to stop her." But he said aloud, rather irritably, "He Daqing, don't flatter yourself. She might not even like you!"

He Daqing immediately perked up, his face beaming with pride: "Hey! Don't underestimate your brother-in-law! I managed to win over your sister, a beautiful young woman back then, so why wouldn't I handle a widow with three kids?"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
