After everyone's persuasion, the farce finally ended. He Yuzhu, who believed that he had done nothing wrong at the dinner table, still stiffened his neck and groaned, as if he had suffered a great injustice, relying on his backers.

"You haven't been beaten enough, have you? Who are you whining for?" He Daqing said with a fierce face

"Okay, Daqing. Zhuzi had good intentions. If you ask me, it's all Lou Bancheng's fault. He is a typical ungrateful person. Our Zhuzi had good intentions and reminded him that he was being plotted against. But he didn't just deal with Xu Damao, but actually asked someone to investigate Zhuzi. What does he want to do? He even had the nerve to come to the steel mill to find you. What a fool!" Chen Xueru said to He Yuzhu

"That's right! I tossed and turned for days and couldn't sleep. I finally made up my mind to help Lou Bancheng. But he didn't thank me, and he actually complained to you. What does this mean? 'A dog bites Lu Dongbin, and it doesn't know the kindness of a good person.' Wait until Xu Damao spends all his money, and then we'll see what he will do. An old fool!" He Yuzhu heard his patron speak for him, and hurriedly echoed indignantly

"What Lou Bancheng did in this matter is really not fair! Ping An, what on earth is Lou Bancheng planning?" Compared to He Yuzhu's stubborn and nonsense talk, Yang Yiyi clearly sensed that something was wrong.

"What tricks could he have? It's nothing more than the old trick of 'it's better to use it than to work hard'. Well...but Lou Bancheng did this on purpose: he gave people benefits on the surface, and took advantage of their weaknesses behind their backs. He used two methods at the same time. In the end, his real intention was to use people as dogs for his own use."

He Pingan took a bite of the seafood dipped in sauce and said casually. As for why the He family could eat seafood during the disaster years, it was naturally because the whaling team went out to sea and brought back some. When drinking water, one should remember the well digger. People specially gave He Pingan some to try.

"You mean Lou Bancheng knows that the Xu family is calculating his money, and also knows the disgusting things Xu Damao has done! He just pretends not to know, and wants to use this to control the Xu family." Yang Yiyi seemed dissatisfied with He Ping'an's attitude. She stepped on He Ping'an under the table, and then asked with a smile.

"Well... that's exactly what happened! Xu Fugui and Tao Ying have worked for the Lou family for nearly half of their lives. If Lou Bancheng knew their personalities, he would have to wonder if he could survive to this day, not to mention earning a name like 'Bancheng'. Including the idiotic things Xu Damao did, even Zhuzi could find someone to follow Xu Damao, but he couldn't do it?"

"As for saying that Lou Xiao'e couldn't find a suitable partner because of her identity, that's nonsense! You have to know that when Zhuzi sent the letter, he just picked up someone on the street. He, Lou Bancheng, was able to find Zhuzi in such a short time. How could he not find a young man of the right age who came from a poor peasant family with a clean background and good character!"

"To put it bluntly, it's not that Lou Xiao'e can't find a suitable partner, it's that Lou Bancheng can't find a suitable son-in-law, and it's that the Lou family can't find a suitable in-law!" He Ping'an, who was stepped on, had no choice but to put down the food in his hand and patiently explained to Yang Yiyi.

"Suitable?" Yang Yiyi looked at He Pingan doubtfully.

"Lou Bancheng is used to being high and mighty, and he is used to controlling everything. Compared to a young man with good conduct, Xu Damao, a three-generation poor peasant with a mess of shit on his ass who would be in trouble if exposed, is easier for him to control. He married Lou Xiao'e to a poor peasant, not to integrate her into the workers and peasants, but to show his sincere attitude of reform to the higher-ups." Thinking of Lou Bancheng's behavior, He Ping'an sneered disdainfully.

"Did you hear that? You don't need to worry about anything! You don't use your brain when encountering problems, just like a big fool. I think you are a fool." As soon as He Ping'an finished speaking, He Daqing scolded the indignant He Yuzhu.

"I..." He Yuzhu kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't make any clear words.

"That Lou Bancheng won't tell Xu Damao about Zhuzi, right? Uncle, you have to help Zhuzi!" Yu Li didn't quite understand what He Ping'an said, but she understood one thing, that Lou Bancheng was not a good person.

"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to do that even if they had his courage!" He Ping'an comforted him.

"Ping An, according to what you said, Lou Bancheng will still marry Lou Xiao'e to Xu Damao?" Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Yang Yiyi continued the previous topic and asked

"Lou Bancheng needs a son-in-law who is in his control, and the Lou family needs a well-behaved and sensible relative-in-law!" He Ping'an didn't know whether Lou Xiao'e would marry Xu Damao, but he knew that Lou Bancheng's standard for choosing a son-in-law would not change.

"It's a pity that the Xu family was so calculating that they made Xu Damao wait for three years just to marry Lou Xiao'e. I guess at this moment the three of them are still celebrating their 'success'. Ha... a clever clown!" It seems that He Daqing really broke up with Tao Ying, otherwise, with his personality, he would not have said such heartless words.

"A clown? Not really! At least after Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e get married, they can indeed bring a lot of money to the Xu family. But it's all charity from the Lou family, not something they calculated. Anyway, the Xu family father and son are thick-skinned, and they just want to get the benefits, and they probably don't care about anything else!"

There are some things that He Daqing can say, but He Pingan can't. He can only make fun of the Xu family father and son. After all, no matter what Tao Ying said, she was still his cheap "sister-in-law", and she even gave birth to Xu Yueling.

"Haha... The Lou family got an obedient son-in-law and in-laws, and the Xu family got the wealth they dreamed of! Such a win-win situation is worthy of the famous Loubancheng! The girl named Lou Xiao'e was born in the Lou family and was also lucky!" As a woman, thinking of Lou Xiao'e's situation, Yang Yiyi sneered at the Xu and Lou families with disdain.

"Poor? Maybe... Big brother, your sister-in-law has never seen what a daughter of a wealthy family looks like? Please tell me about it!" He Pingan teased.

"I haven't seen any in ancient times, but the daughters of wealthy families during the Republic of China: they lived a wealthy life, had a dignified manner, were generally well-educated, and were generous and decent in dealing with others. However, they all had a common problem. They were instilled with some "family knowledge" from childhood to adulthood. So although most of them received Western education, some of their thoughts..." He Daqing roughly said a few words based on his own feelings.

"Brother, you are still too polite. Many families only raise their daughters as vases. Whether it is letting them study or letting them accept new ideas, most of them do it to enhance the value of their daughters and find good in-laws for themselves. I am talking about before liberation. As for Lou Xiao'e, it is hard to say..." He Ping'an really didn't know what Lou Xiao'e was thinking.

"Humph... It's a new society now. Old people always say 'Women hold up half the sky'! As long as Lou Xiaoe can..." Yang Yiyi said unconvinced

"The old man did say 'women hold up half the sky', and the first law after the founding of our country was the Marriage Law, which clearly stipulates freedom of marriage. It is precisely these measures that can better illustrate the seriousness of the problem. If the matter was not serious enough, would the old man and the government have done so? So..." He Ping'an shrugged and said no more.
