Chapter 753 Lou Xiao'e Returns to Her Parents' Home to Complain
Xu Damao screamed, "Why?"
Ma Hongjun said coldly: "You are suspected of being a hooligan. It seems that you are not ready to confess. Take me away."
Xu Damao suddenly relaxed and said urgently: "Captain Ma, don't take me to the police station. I'll tell you now."
Ma Hongjun said expressionlessly: "It's too late, and you still said you can come back to the police station with me!"
After Xu Damao was taken away, the onlookers dispersed, but Lou Xiao'e stood there with a mysterious look on her face, no one knew what she was thinking.
After a moment, a trace of determination flashed in Lou Xiao'e's eyes. She turned around, went home to pack her things, and then went back to her parents' home.
When Lou Xiao'e returned to her parents' home and saw her parents, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lou Xiao'e is the only daughter in the family. She is doted on by her parents and brother. She has lived a life of luxury and has grown up in love and care. She has never suffered such injustice as today.
Lou Xiao'e suffered injustice outside. When she returned home and saw her parents, brother and sister-in-law who loved her, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Xiao'e, if anyone bullies you, tell your second brother and he will help you get revenge."
Lou Xiao'e's second brother, Lou Mingyuan, became furious when he saw the wound on his sister's face and asked with a murderous look on his face.
Lou Xiao'e has three siblings, the eldest brother Lou Mingbo and the second brother Lou Mingyuan.
Lou Mingbo was arranged by Lou Zhenhua to go to Hong Kong several years ago to expand the Lou family's business empire there.
Lou Zhenhua is a shrewd businessman with keen political insight. He foresaw the changes in the national environment and made arrangements in advance.
Lou Xiao'e burst into tears and said, "That bastard Xu Damao not only had an affair outside, but also beat me. I want to divorce him."
When Lou Xiao'e said this, everyone's faces were filled with anger, and Lou Mingyuan even cursed:
"Damn you, you bastard! He's so bold as to hit you! I'm going to take some people to break his legs right now."
After Lou Mingyuan finished speaking, he walked out angrily.
Lou Zhenhua shouted angrily, "Stop! Don't you see what the situation is like? Do you want to kill our whole family?"
Lou Mingyuan said indignantly, "Are we just going to let that little jerk Xu Damao go?"
Lou Zhenhua sighed and said, "Ah! The situation is tense now, we all have to keep our heads down."
"After a while, when the situation improves, it won't be too late to deal with that bastard."
Seeing her father and brother's sad faces, Lou Xiao'e said with concern:
"Dad, brother, what happened that made you both so sad?"
Lou Zhenhua sighed and said, "Xiao E, do you still remember why I asked you to marry Xu Damao?"
Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "You said that I have a bad background and am the daughter of a capitalist. This identity will bring me extremely serious political risks. Xu Damao is a poor peasant with a good family background. Marrying him can help me resolve the crisis."
Lou Zhenhua said dejectedly, "That's right. If it weren't for this special period and the country's unfriendly attitude towards people of our status, I would never have let you marry Xu Damao, that peasant."
"Before liberation, a scoundrel like Xu Damao wouldn't even be worthy of carrying your shoes. I was merciful and married you to him, but he didn't cherish you and even had the guts to hit you."
"A few years ago, I would have taken off one of his legs and one of his arms, but not now."
"The situation is even more severe now. It is becoming increasingly unfriendly to capitalists like us. Many of my old friends who had business dealings with me have been arrested. So we have to be careful with our words and actions recently and not let others catch us."
Lou Xiao'e said anxiously, "Dad, nothing will happen to you, right?"
Lou Zhenhua hesitated and said, "I don't think so. I handed over all the shares of the factory to the state, leaving only some shops."
“In addition, I am a well-known patriotic businessman. I have made contributions to the country both during the resistance and the civil war. The government should not touch me.”
Lou Mingyuan frowned and said, "Dad, I'm not as optimistic as you. Uncle Wang is also a patriotic businessman. During the resistance and the civil war, his contributions were no less than ours, but the relevant departments can't just arrest him whenever they want."
"Your uncle Wang was arrested because he was too high-profile, and his son was arrogant and offended people."
"Dad, we can't rely on others for our safety. There is no room for development in the country now. Why don't we move our family to Hong Kong?"
"It's easy for you to say that. Do you know how much we will lose if we move to Hong Kong? The industries that our Lou family has worked hard for generations are all in China. If we move to Hong Kong, we will have to give up all these industries."
"Dad, no matter how important money is, is it more important than life? If you lose your life, you have nothing."
"As the old saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. With our abilities, we can still make a name for ourselves in Hong Kong."
"Wait a little longer, things are not as bad as you think."
"Dad, if you don't think ahead, you'll have immediate worries. We have to plan ahead."
Lou Zhenhua lowered his eyes slightly: "How do you want to prepare for a rainy day?"
Lou Mingyuan said solemnly: "We will slowly exchange our assets for hard currencies such as gold and antiques, and then quietly transfer them to Hong Kong. When it really comes to the final step, we won't be in a rush."
Lou Zhenhua was silent for a moment, and said with a gloomy expression:
"Let's do as you say! But we have to do it secretly so no one can find out."
"Don't worry, father. I'll save it!"
After Lou Mingyuan finished speaking, he exchanged a few words with Lou Xiao'e, then turned around and left home.
After Lou Mingyuan left, Lou's mother took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said with tears in her eyes:
"Xiao'e, you have suffered a lot these years. I am sorry for you. I didn't see Xu Damao's true face."
"I thought Xu Damao was an honest and reliable man, but I didn't expect him to be such a person."
Lou's mother's name is Tan Yali, a descendant of the famous Tan family cuisine, but she did not learn cooking from her father.
It is worth mentioning that the Tan family cuisine that He Yuzhu and his son learned was from Tan Suying’s family.
Lou Xiao'e comforted her, "Mom, it's not your fault. You just introduced Xu Damao to me. I was blind and deceived by her sweet words."
Lou Zhenhua said in a hateful voice: "A tiger in troubled times is bullied by a dog. Before, Xu Damao's parents were just servants of our family, but now they dare to boss us around."
"If Xu Fugui and his wife hadn't tried so hard to recommend Xu Damao to your mother and me, we would never have agreed to marry you to him."
Lou Xiao'e said with a sad expression: "Dad, Mom, please stop talking. This is my fate."
Lou Zhenhua said with a distressed look on his face: "Xiao E, how about I send you to your elder brother in Hong Kong?"
Lou Xiao'e thought for a second, then shook her head decisively and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm not going anywhere while you're still in Beijing."
Lou Zhenhua sighed: "Xiao E, the current situation is unclear. If you don't want to go to Hong Kong, you can't divorce Xu Damao for the time being..."
Lou Xiao'e nodded hesitantly: "Dad, I understand!"
