"Then Qinghe can't talk to the old lady like that. She's already so old."
Lou Xiao'e was a little angry.
Father Lou looked at her silly look and sighed helplessly, "You are too kind, girl. He is protecting you. Otherwise, would he just watch you get tricked?"
"You have to be wary of anyone, like this old lady. Everyone says she's a good person, but she might be plotting against you."
Lou Xiao'e still couldn't figure it out, "But why did she do this? Even if I get married with Sha Zhu, what good will it do to her? She's already this old, how many years can she live?"
Father Lou sneered, "Haha, that would be a huge benefit."
"According to what you said, she is an elderly widower who is counting on He Yuzhu to provide for her in her old age and to burn paper for her at her grave. She knows you very well and knows that you are kind and honest. You will definitely not refuse to provide for her in her old age. If He Yuzhu marries a woman he doesn't know, who can guarantee that she won't object? After all, it's real money being spent."
"What about Qin Huairu? She's pretty good too. She raises a whole family by herself without any complaints. And Shazhu likes her."
Lou Xiao'e is not really stupid, she can see what He Yuzhu is thinking.
Father Lou rubbed his brows in a headache. What should he do with this silly girl? He is such a smart person...
"Alas... Think about it carefully. How many people are there in Qin Huairu's family? Not to mention Jia Zhang, the three children alone are the biggest burden. If Sha Zhu marries Qin Huairu, will he still have the money to support the old lady? Forget it, there's no point telling you."
"Just listen to Dad. Go back tomorrow and live with Xu Damao or Li Qinghe. But don't get divorced. I'm worried that Xu Damao will do something desperate. Then just wait for my news. When the family has made arrangements, we can leave as a family."
In the original novel, the Lou family was unprepared when the situation changed because Lou's father was hoping for luck and kept dragging his feet, so they had to flee in a hurry without dealing with many of their businesses and suffered a lot of losses.
Now that I have enough time to deal with it, I naturally have to take everything I can take away. After all, it is the result of decades of hard work and it cannot be thrown away like that.
Lou Xiao'e was very obedient to her father and nodded immediately, "Dad, I understand. I'll listen to you."
In the original novel, she was reluctant to leave because she had feelings for He Yuzhu, but this time it was Li Qinghe who let her leave in order to protect her and her family. Although she was reluctant, she felt much better.
Father Lou did not waste any more time, walked into the study, locked the door, and started making phone calls to his friends in Hong Kong City. At the same time, he also sold his properties and exchanged them for gold and other things.
Lou Xiao'e was chatting with her mother about family matters, and at the same time she was a little nervous, not knowing what would happen when she arrived in the port city.
The next day, Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard with some food and clean clothes, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard the aunties in the courtyard say that Xu Damao was locked up in the security department for molesting women and has not been released yet.
Hearing the news, Lou Xiao'e was stunned. I've only been home for a few days, but why does it feel like the whole world has changed?
Then a nameless anger rose in my heart. Well, when I was not at home, Xu Damao dared to molest women in broad daylight. What my father said was true. Xu Damao is not a good person. Why did he fall for this thing in the first place?
But why is it that while I'm angry, I also feel secretly happy in my heart?
Of course, she didn't show it, but instead asked the aunties what happened with an angry look on her face.
......
Li Qinghe wandered around the factory, greeting fellow workers passing by from time to time.
He was recalling last night. He had no money left, so he wanted to go to the Pigeon Market to exchange some more. The rice was ripe, and he had just sold a bag of rice when he met the red armband.
This was the first time he encountered a red armband, and it was here to catch him. It reminded him of the world's strongest warrior on the street in his previous life, except that the red armband was more powerful and chased the stall owners everywhere, and several unlucky guys were caught.
Relying on his physical advantage, he ran away in a flash, carrying the two red armbands with him. He ran around in a dead end and climbed over the wall to escape, making the red armbands chasing him very angry.
You can’t go to the pigeon market these days. After they caught someone once, there will be strict inspections in the next few days, and no one dares to set up stalls there.
At this time, he heard a quarrel in the Security Department and couldn't help wondering, who was so bold as to cause trouble in the Security Department?
The security department of this era is not the security guard in previous lives. They have law enforcement powers and can hold guns. Large factories like steel rolling mills even have cannons, and the weapons they are equipped can fight a small war.
Then he felt that the voice seemed familiar, as if it was Lou Xiao'e?
Hey, the fun is about to begin. I quickly trot over and use Xu Damao to gain some emotional points.
Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e was standing at the door of the security department and cursing.
The people from the security department tried to persuade her helplessly. There was a circle of workers around watching the fun. Even at the gate, there were a few passers-by craning their necks to watch the fun.
But what puzzled him was that he didn't absorb much emotion from Lou Xiao'e.
Li Qinghe was puzzled. Was there something wrong with this space? Lou Xiao'e was furious. How could she not be emotional?
Soon, he found that there was no problem with the space, the problem was with Lou Xiao'e, because when he took a few steps closer, he immediately felt a surge of emotions, which could be clearly distinguished to be from Xu Damao and the people around who were watching the fun.
It seems that Lou Xiao'e's anger was just pretend. Did she think things through after returning home this time?
......
"Sister Xiao'e, why are you here?"
When Lou Xiao'e heard the voice, she turned around and found that it was Li Qinghe. She couldn't help but feel happy, but she realized that she shouldn't be happy, so she quickly held back and pretended to be angry and said:
"Qinghe, it's you. I didn't want to come here either, but you also know what kind of rotten things Xu Damao, the shameless guy, did. He actually molested women on the street. He is shameless, but I still want him. It's better to lock him up for life and don't let him come out to embarrass himself!"
Li Qinghe smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, "Sister, I want to cooperate with you, but I know your true thoughts, which makes it difficult for me. As expected, women are born actors. If I hadn't been able to feel your emotions, I would have believed it."
"Well, Sister Xiao'e, calm down first. The matter has not been clarified yet. We are still discussing it with the parties involved. It won't be too late to talk about it after the result is out."
"Yes, yes, comrade, why don't you go back first, and we will notify you immediately when the results are out. It will be difficult for us to do our job this way." The people from the Security Department also quickly followed suit and gave Li Qinghe a look of gratitude.
If Lou Xiao'e came to plead for Xu Damao, they could have handled the matter impartially and had plenty of ways to send her back, but she came to cause trouble for Xu Damao, and if they hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed in and beaten him, which put them in a dilemma.
What’s more, they are a couple and they are lesbians. They can’t hit or scold them. I really don’t know how to deal with this.
Xu Damao, who dared not speak inside, was also moved when he heard Li Qinghe persuading Lou Xiao'e. He felt that Li Qinghe was really loyal and must treat him to drinks when he got out.
"Sister Xiao'e, we can't see Brother Damao now, so let's go back first. It won't be too late to settle the score when he comes out."
