Siheyuan Shangpeng

"Ah? What should we do then?" asked Lou Tan in surprise.

"What should I do? Oh! Keep a low profile. Shang Peng is a ruthless guy. Didn't our family want to marry Xiao'e to Shang Qi before? Now, his brother is taking advantage of the situation. Oh! It's my fault too. I was blinded by greed and thought that he was looking for a backer for us. Haha... Now I understand that he is looking for trouble for Shang.

As long as they give in a little, they will accuse us of colluding with capitalists. Do you think they will not be angry with us? Originally, the matter was not accomplished, we just paid some compensation and the matter was over. They didn't think highly of us. Who made me provoke them again today? This will implicate Lou Yi and the others. Alas! "Lou Bancheng felt that the amount of sighs he had in this day was almost as much as in the first half of his life.

Lou Tan suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is Xiao'e still going to marry that guy called Xu Damao?"

"Marry! She must marry. If she doesn't marry, believe it or not, someone will say that we look down on the working class, and then we will all die together as a family." Lou Bancheng said firmly.

"Ah? Oh! How can you be so cruel that you force Xiao'e to marry the son of a servant? Given Xiao'e's habits as a young lady, she might suffer a lot after getting married. My poor little girl!" The more Lou Tan thought about it, the sadder she became, and she couldn't help crying.

"Mom! Don't cry, I'm going to get married. If I tell you, will you think I'm going to suffer? I think Xu Damao is okay. Although he has a long face, he's good at talking. As long as my dad still has the leverage over Xu Wude, your daughter will suffer if she gets married to him. Besides, your daughter is not a pushover. We don't know what will happen then." At this time, Lou Xiao'e suddenly came down from upstairs and said to Lou Tan.

When Lou Tan and Lou Bancheng heard Lou Xiao'e say this, they looked at her in surprise. They knew their own daughter well and knew that she was a simple-minded child. If nothing had happened to their family before, they could have found a good family for her. Now it seemed that Ezi could take care of herself.

Lou Xiao'e smiled at her parents who were eating chicken, and said to them, "Dad, Mom, ever since my dad wanted to marry me to Shang Qi last time and was insulted, I know that society has changed. In the past two years, let alone what I learned from our elders, even the quotations of the leaders have deeply inspired me. Apart from other things, I can still deal with Xu Damao.

Dad, I wanted to tell you this when you answered the phone today. Don’t you find that the current atmosphere is becoming increasingly hostile to people like us?

Look at our family. We live in a big villa and eat the most delicious food. But go out and take a look. How many people in the country are unable to get enough food?

Dad, give up. Our family can’t afford to make any more mistakes.”

"Ezi, who did you learn all this from? Did someone tell you something?" Lou Bancheng was very surprised. Was this still his silly Ezi? How could he say such profound words?

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I didn't want to understand before. After all, you can help me solve some problems. From the day Shang Qi pointed at your nose and scolded you, I knew that our identity was a big problem. I don't want to live in a muddle. What the big boss said is true that women can hold up half the sky. I am not a canary you raised. I want to make my own way. Dad, can you listen to my advice?"

Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e's determined expression, which was very similar to the students he had seen parading in the streets before. He was dazed for a moment, and then asked Lou Xiao'e: "Ezi, what do you say? I'm listening."

Lou Xiao'e said solemnly, "Dad, I feel like you only have one way to go now. Follow the example of the Rong family in Shanghai and hand over all your assets. You and my mom will both go out to work. This will completely change the status of our family."

"Ah? This?" Lou Bancheng hesitated. After all, his family was the result of his life's hard work, and he was unwilling to just give it away like that.

"Dad, what are you still hesitating about? Before you accompanied the Shang family, we could escape to Gangcheng. But what about now? Even people know where my elder and second brothers are. Where else can we go? Dad! Listen to me, hand it over. Maybe you can see our family's prosperity again!" Lou Xiao'e raised the stakes again.

"Haha...Ah! Okay, Xiao'e, I'll listen to you, but I want to see the person behind you." Lou Bancheng spoke directly as if he had let go of something.

"Ah? Who is it? There's someone behind me..." Lou Xiao'e seemed to be discovered and tried her best to cover up something.

Clap, clap, clap… There was a sound of applause from upstairs, followed by a female voice coming down from the second floor, "As expected of Lou Bancheng, the famous Fourth Nine City. Even in this situation, he can still think of the key points. I admire him very much!"

"Captain, you..." Lou Xiao'e turned around and said as if she had thought of something.

At this time, a girl about the same age as Lou Xiao'e came down from the second floor. She had short hair and a not very pretty face, but she looked heroic. She walked up to Lou Bancheng, stretched out her hand and said to him, "Mr. Lou, let me introduce you to the captain of the Jinyiwei, Golden Fox!"

Lou Bancheng stood up and shook hands with Jin Hu, but his eyes narrowed when he heard Jin Yiwei's name, and he asked, "When did you come into contact with Xiao E?"

"That was when you proposed a marriage to Shang Qi." Golden Fox replied.

Lou Bancheng smiled and motioned for Golden Fox to sit down, and then he sat down as well. After Lou Bancheng sat down, he turned into the Lou Bancheng who dominated the city again. He looked at Golden Fox with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Why me?"

"Why? Because you are one of the capitalists in the city of Sijiu who has a conscience, because you saved some people's lives in the past, and also, some people like moths!" Golden Fox replied indifferently.

"Do you like moths?" Lou Bancheng muttered.

"Haha... Mr. Lou, you really won't give up. Do you want to be Mr. Lou for the rest of your life, or do you want to be Comrade Lou?" The golden fox looked at Lou Bancheng as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Lou Bancheng seemed to understand something and couldn't help but ask, "Then Lou Yi and the others wouldn't..."

"No, no, Mr. Lou, you keep Lou Yi and the others for your own protection, but you don't know whether they have done some things or not, but we know, so they must be sanctioned. If we hadn't found out that you were not involved, do you think I would be sitting here chatting with you?" Jin Hu interrupted directly.

Lou Bancheng stood up suddenly, looked at the golden fox and asked, "What did they do?"
