Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

Lou Xiao'e was born during the Japanese occupation and grew up in the Republic of China when the new democratic thought was rising. She received a good education since childhood and did not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation...

But as the great tide of the times rolled in, personal love, hate, and hatred seemed so insignificant in this era, and everyone was caught in it. Lou Xiao'e, like most people in this era, was caught in the middle.

In order to adapt to the environment and consider the Lou family, she followed her parents' arrangement and married an ordinary man, Xu Damao. She lived with people of different backgrounds, cultures, interests and hobbies, and lived in a large courtyard with a poor living environment.

Even so, in the previous life, when the Lou family was in danger during the "Ten Years of Cultural Movement", Xu Damao chose to stab the Lou family in the back and divorced Lou Xiao'e. In desperation, Lou Xiao'e had a magical night with Sha Zhu, and from then on, she and Sha Zhu were entangled for the rest of their lives.

In this life, although the Lou family is in danger and Xu Damao has not yet retaliated against the Lou family, Xu Damao, who has a child with another woman, still chooses to divorce.

For Lou Xiao'e, who received a new-style education and grew up under the influence of new democratic ideas, divorce means "liberation and rebirth". After regaining her freedom, she thought that she had the right to pursue happiness, and she couldn't wait to share her inner joy with the person she loved.

On the day after Xu Damao distributed wedding candies, He Yuzhu, who was a little depressed because Lou Xiao'e intervened in the He family's peaceful life, was sleepily waiting for the bell to end get off work in the office.

Just when He Yuzhu felt that the time waiting for the end of get off work was as slow as a snail, the factory secretary called and arranged for him to go out for a special meal.

After taking care of Liang Laigen and getting all the cooking utensils, He Yuzhu left the canteen for the reception. Before reaching the gate, he saw the Mercedes-Benz car parked at the gate of the steel mill from a distance.

He Yuzhu got into the car with a nervous mood and arrived at the Lou family villa. Lou Xiao'e was still waiting at the door as usual.

"Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao brought his new wife back to the courtyard last night, and every household in the courtyard has received wedding candies." He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e and said without thinking it was too much.

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu who was deliberately trying to irritate her with words, but with a smile in her eyes, she stared at He Yuzhu and said calmly, "It's not like I don't know that Xu Damao has a woman outside. Divorce should be a rebirth in my life for me."

He Yuzhu saw that he couldn't anger Lou Xiao'e with words, and he sighed in his heart that this woman had a very big heart, and followed Lou Xiao'e silently.

"Brother Zhu, why aren't you talking?" Lou Xiao'e turned her head and asked He Yuzhu tenderly.

"Do you have any requirements for tonight's dishes?" He Yuzhu asked nervously in a businesslike tone.

"When we get to the kitchen, just prepare the ingredients. Just like last time, three dishes and one soup will be enough." Lou Xiao'e said gently, looking at He Yuzhu's embarrassed look.

The two of them walked quietly along the way. He Yuzhu got busy in the kitchen. Soon, hot and sour potato shreds, twice-cooked pork, grilled carp with green onions, and pickled pork with preserved vegetables were served one after another.

He Yuzhu was waiting in the kitchen as usual, and Lou Xiaoe came to call him to eat together. There was no conversation during the meal. After dinner, they went into the living room, and the servant made tea, and Lou Bancheng slowly opened up.

"Zhu Zi, what do you think about Xu Damao and Xiao'e's divorce?" Lou Bancheng asked seriously.

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, but mustered up the courage to say, "In my opinion, under this general trend, it is only a matter of time before Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e get divorced."

"The current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Lou family. Xu Damao will choose to divorce sooner or later in order to protect himself and his job."

"It would be beneficial for Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e and the entire Lou family if both sides cut ties early."

Lou Bancheng listened and laughed, then asked with a smile: "What do you think of our Xiao'e?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's face got a little hot, but he still couldn't help but praise, "Lou Xiao'e, she is kind, gentle, and considerate... a good girl."

"Ha, ha, ha..." Hearing someone praising his daughter, Lou Bancheng laughed heartily, as if the recent haze was dispelled by the laughter.

Lou Tan, who was sitting nearby and had little sense of participation, couldn't help but laugh when she heard her husband's happy laughter.

When Lou Xiao'e heard He Yuzhu praising her in front of his parents, her face turned red instantly, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she looked at He Yuzhu coquettishly.

"Zhu Zi, if... I mean if, Xiao'e is your wife, can you protect her?" Lou Bancheng asked casually, but his eyes couldn't hide his expectation.

He Yuzhu lowered his head, then raised it again, opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He was struggling with his thoughts, "Is this a life-threatening question? Forget it, I'll just go for it, either way."

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Lou, under the current trend, if we want Lou Xiao'e and I to get married safely and have an uninterrupted life in the future, there is only one place in China: Hong Kong."

"Although Hong Kong is still under British rule, it is a "Chinese-ruled Chinese" society, with the majority of the population still being Han Chinese, and their living habits are similar to those in Shanghai before the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Most importantly, Hong Kong still uses the Qing Dynasty Law, which allows polygamy."

"Moreover, with the continuity of the country's Five-Year Plan, the domestic economy will develop rapidly sooner or later, and Hong Kong will become a window for exchanges between China and the West."

"In the future, no matter where you live or do business, it will be very convenient."

"If Lou Xiao'e went to Hong Kong, it would be very beneficial to herself and the Lou family..."

Lou Bancheng listened to He Yuzhu's words, and his face gradually became solemn. Yes, people who grew up with traditional ideas will always be reluctant to let go and feel uneasy when facing leaving their hometown.

"Zhu Zi, you young people can chat for a while, and we old couple will go out for a walk." Lou Bancheng sighed lightly, and went out with Lou Tanshi with his thoughts.

When Lou Xiao'e saw her parents leave, she took He Yuzhu's hand and went upstairs. After entering Lou Xiao'e's room, she locked the door.

With a slightly red face, she asked softly, "Brother Zhuzi, I'm free now. Will you really marry me?"

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e's expectant eyes, his heart full of "guilt, remorse, and longing..." There are those from this life, and perhaps even more from the previous life.

"In this life, if you don't give up on me, I will love you with all my heart." He Yuzhu said involuntarily, looking at Lou Xiaoe reluctantly.

Lou Xiao'e listened to He Yuzhu's words and hugged him tightly. She felt like she was about to melt and whispered softly, "I want to go to Hong Kong, I want to be your wife, I want to pursue my own happiness..."
