"I bought it. Where else could it be? People are reluctant to give candies to others. Okay, go back. I'll give you candies next time you come."
When Li Qinghe came back from get off work, he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some milk candies and other snacks. He had collected so many tickets at the pigeon market, it would be a waste if he didn't use them. He spent more than ten yuan and only had three yuan left.
Yu Li narrowed her eyes, smiled and nodded, smacked her lips, and skipped out. However, she did not go home directly. Instead, she pretended to go to the toilet and finish the candy first. Otherwise, if she went back, the candy in her mouth would be picked out.
"People these days are so easily satisfied."
With a sigh, Li Qinghe drew aside the curtains and looked at the yard. When it got dark, he would enter the space and cook for himself. He could cook in the space without worrying about being discovered and could eat as much as he wanted. Now that he had the conditions, it would be better to kill him if he had to eat cornmeal and cabbage every day.
......
Lou family.
Lou Xiao'e has been back for two days. Li Qinghe has already told Lou Bancheng what he told her, but she did not mention anything about Xu Damao.
At that time, Lou Bancheng, a big businessman who had experienced ups and downs in the business world for decades, broke out in a cold sweat and ran out that night to inquire about the news.
After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Lou's father came back with a tired look on his face and sat down on the sofa.
Mother Lou poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table. "How is it going? Did you find out anything?"
"Oh, the situation is not good." Father Lou sighed deeply, his brows furrowed, "I asked a lot of people for help, but I only got a little clue, and it's almost the same as what Li Qinghe said. It's really going to change soon. "
Lou's mother's hands trembled, "Then...what should we do?"
Seeing the panicked face of Lou's mother, Lou's father rubbed his brows and comforted her: "Don't worry, things haven't come to that point yet. Maybe there is still a chance for things to turn around, and it won't necessarily get worse."
But his face was full of sorrow when he spoke, and it was unclear whether he was comforting Lou's mother or comforting himself.
"Dad, what should we do? Should we prepare something?" Lou Xiao'e also came to the other side and sat down with a look of panic on her face.
Father Lou knew that as the head of the family, he couldn't mess up, so he patted Lou Xiao'e on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Dad will find a way."
Then he changed the subject, "How are you and Xu Damao doing?"
Lou Xiao'e opened her mouth but swallowed it back, not knowing whether she should tell the test results.
Father Lou frowned even deeper as he looked at her reaction. His name, Lou Bancheng, was not given by others, but was earned through decades of hard work in the business world. How could Lou Xiao'e hide it from him? Besides, she was his daughter, how could he not understand?
"Xiao'e, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you hiding it from me and your mother?"
"No...no..." Lou Xiao'e avoided her eyes.
Father Lou gave Mother Lou a look. He could see that Lou Xiao'e must have something to hide, and it would be easier for the mother and daughter to ask about it.
Lou's mother understood what she meant, and pulled Lou Xiao'e to sit next to her, whispering, "E'e, tell me, did you have a conflict with Xu Damao?"
Although Father Lou didn't go over to listen to what the mother and daughter were saying, he was always paying attention to Lou Xiao'e's reaction.
Hearing what Lou's mother said, Lou Xiao'e bit her lip, her eyes slowly turned red, the grievances in her heart surged out, and two lines of tears silently slid down.
When Father Lou saw his daughter crying, he instantly became furious, "Ezi, tell me, did Xu Damao bully you?"
Father Lou was already worried because of the news brought back by Lou Xiao'e. Now Xu Damao dared to bully his own daughter. Did he really think that Lou Bancheng was finished? Although he no longer had the power he once had, he was not someone that Xu Damao could bully.
"Old Wu, come with me! Xu Damao is really bold. He dares to bully my daughter. I am not defeated yet!"
Father Lou patted the armrest, called the housekeeper, and walked out.
Lou's mother quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, why are you so anxious? It's not too late to wait for Ezi to explain everything."
Father Lou took two breaths and sat down next to him. "Xiao'e, tell Dad how he bullied you. Don't be afraid of anyone. Dad is here for you."
Lou Xiao'e sobbed twice and wiped her tears with her sleeve. "I...I went to the hospital for a check-up. I can...can get pregnant. There's nothing wrong with me."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lou's expressions changed.
Lou's mother hugged Lou Xiao'e in her arms and asked, "You mean to say that it's Xu Damao who is infertile?"
Lou Xiao'e buried her head in her mother's arms and nodded vigorously.
Mother Lou's face was full of heartache, and she hugged her tightly, "My dear, cry, you have suffered so much these years.
