Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

“I still want to be a grandfather!”

"Don't give me excuses. Is it amazing that you have the ability to be a leader?"

"You dare to divorce Xiao'e. Where is my grandson?"

Xu Fugui was not at all ambiguous. With one slap, Xu Damao's ears turned red.

"If you want to be a grandfather, it's never too late to be one later."

"Besides, this baby will still be your grandson after it is born."

"The worst that can happen is that my last name may not be Xu anymore. Ah, stop hitting me!"

For the first time, Xu Damao felt that there were too many things in his house, which blocked his escape.

"If your surname is not Xu, what kind of descendant can you be called? How could the Xu family produce such an unfilial descendant like you?"

"Don't use being a leader as an excuse for me. Go and apologize to Xiao'e!"

"If you don't coax Xiao'e back, you shouldn't come back either."

Xu Fugui stretched out his arm again, and suddenly his teeth gritted and he had a cramp.

"It's not an excuse. Lou Bancheng is a capitalist. If I marry Lou Xiao'e, I won't be able to be a leader."

"Even if you become one now, you may be suppressed in the future."

"Haven't you noticed that leaders now have to check their three generations?"

When Xu Damao saw Xu Fugui hugging his arms, he quickly moved away.

"That was all for others. Lou Bancheng donated factories, shops and property. He is no longer a capitalist."

"Just like everyone else!"

Xu Fugui sat on the chair. Beating people was really tiring.

"Dad, you don't know that Lou Bancheng is now the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

"But there are absolutely no rights."

"There are some things where you don't even have a vote."

"Do you think you can be like a normal person?"

"Besides, I heard that someone is being targeted again."

"I guess Lou Bancheng will be targeted sooner or later."

Seeing that Xu Fugui had calmed down, Xu Damao also dragged over a chair and sat down.

However, it is still quite far away.

"That's not the time. You should at least let Xiao'e give birth to the baby."

Xu Fugui seemed to understand what Xu Damao meant.

"Dad, you are confused!"

"What did you say?!"

"I'm not talking about you, I'm saying, I was wrong!"

Xu Damao became incoherent after being stared at by Xu Fugui.

"Think about it, if Xiao'e gave birth to the baby and kept it, if something happened in the future, wouldn't the identities of the baby's mother and grandfather be discovered?"

"It will be troublesome then."

"It's better to divorce now and solve it once and for all."

"I don't know why you wanted me to marry Lou Xiao'e at that time."

Xu Damao glanced at Xu Fugui.

"Why, you're blaming me!"

"Who was it that went to the Lou family's house and started staring at Lou Xiao'e?"

"That look really makes me want to pull it out and stick it on Lou Xiao'e's face."

"You tell me this now!"

If Xu Fugui didn't feel the pain in his arm, he would have gone up and hit Xu Damao.

Thinking back to when they got married, it was indeed Xu Damao who chose the right person, Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Bancheng also wanted to find himself a son-in-law who was a worker, so as to neutralize the family composition and try his best to prevent his descendants from being influenced by himself.

Under such circumstances, they hit it off and it worked out.

Originally Xu Fugui thought that since Xu Damao had a father-in-law who was the chairman of the board, wouldn’t it be just a matter of saying a word to get him a promotion and a raise in the future?

Who would have thought it would develop to this point.

"At that time, it was just youthful vigor."

Xu Damao's face turned red, he was indeed the one who was moved first.

"Will something really happen to Lou Bancheng?"

Xu Fugui took out a cigarette, Xu Damao hurried over to light it, and then reached into Xu Fugui's cigarette box to take out a cigarette.

"Take your own."

Xu Fugui patted Xu Damao's hand and put away his cigarette.

"I think something's going to happen sooner or later."

"You see, after the establishment of the new society, we have been trying to develop it well over the years. Only when it truly develops and makes people feel that life is better can there be stability."

"But, we lack resources and technology!"

"The other day the subdistrict office said they were advocating for intellectuals to support rural construction? I think this is because the city can no longer afford to support them, and the factories don't need so many people."

"It's different in the village. You just need to work hard on the farm, or go up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits. If that doesn't work, you can just eat some wild vegetables."

"I won't starve to death anyway!"

"You said that everyone is so sad. These wealthy capitalists have become the targets of everyone's hatred again."

"I think there are disagreements among the higher-ups on how to deal with these people. Some want to keep them, while others want to liquidate them completely."

"Next, it depends on which side can temporarily gain the right to speak."

"Anyway, the new society today can't be friendly to them."

Xu Damao analyzed while puffing out smoke.

Xu Fugui listened with great interest.

"Who told you this?"

Xu Fugui was also confused when he heard it, but he felt that it seemed quite powerful.

"Who dares to say that?"

"Of course I thought of that myself."

"Even if someone really thinks so, it will just rot in their stomach."

As Xu Damao spoke, he looked at the tightly closed doors and windows. Walls have ears, so the news can't get out.

"You and Lou Xiao'e have been married for almost three years, and you finally got pregnant. Don't you regret it?"

Xu Fugui seemed to have heard it as well.

"If you lose your wife, you can marry again. If you lose your child, you can have another one."

"Besides, even if this kid doesn't have the surname Xu, he is still a descendant of our Xu family."

"But if I don't make this decision now, it may ruin my life and even the future of my descendants."

Xu Damao felt that no matter what happened, he would not be at a loss.

Xu Fugui didn't say anything, as if he was also thinking about the gains and losses.

"The deputy director of the publicity department is about to retire, which is a good opportunity for me."

"As long as I climb up, when Zhu Xiaoming moves to another place, I will be the director of the Propaganda Department."

"The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is now a state-owned enterprise, and it is also one of the largest factories in the city."

"Become a director there, and you won't have to worry about climbing up the ladder in the future."

Xu Damao felt that his path to promotion was smooth, and the only variable was the Lou family.

"Just think it over and make your own decision."

Xu Fugui threw away the cigarette butt, stood up, and left without saying a word.

He didn't know whether this decision was right.

However, I always feel that Xu Damao is correct.

The only regret is that my grandson...

"Dad, are you leaving?"

Xu Xiaoran knew that Xu Fugui had come after Yi Bufan went back, but she still waited for Yi Bufan to finish his meal before coming over.

She felt that with Xu Fugui's help, problems could always be solved.

"Well, your mother called me home for dinner!"

Xu Fugui did not stop and passed by Yi Bufan.

However, after walking two steps, she turned back and said, "Don't worry about your brother's affairs. Be careful not to get pregnant."

After speaking, he left.

Yi Bufan looked at Xu Fugui's expression and heard his words, it was obvious that the matter had not been settled.
