People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Lou Zhenhua said slowly: "Since it came to the world, every pore of capital has been dirty and bloody, and it is always ready to expand outward."

Lou Zhenhua also knew this famous quote from "Das Kapital". He had the German version of this book in his study.

In fact, Lou Zhenhua's German is very good, and he is also proficient in English.

After hearing what Lou Zhenhua said, Wu Xiuying also fell silent.

She also knew the source of this sentence. Lou Zhenhua had been telling her about the views and contents stated in this book. Many times, Wu Xiuying could also come up with some special insights.

"Hasn't what we've done over the years been enough? Back then, we risked our entire family being beheaded."

Wu Xiuying wanted to talk about how their Lou family supported Wei Ye in the past.

Lou Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Since capital is stained with blood, it naturally needs to be cleansed with blood."

Wu Xiuying had no way of refutation. She just felt aggrieved.

"So what should we do? Go south to Hong Kong Island? That's not bad, it's nice for the family to be together."

Compared with Lou Zhenhua, Wu Xiuying was even more reluctant to leave Beijing.

She was not Lou Zhenhua's original wife, and the two sons of the Lou family who had already moved to Hong Kong Island were not hers.

Moreover, she also knew that the monogamous society in Hong Kong was different from that here. After moving to Hong Kong, the family status of her and her daughter Lou Xiao'e would definitely decline.

Just considering this industry, it is estimated that it is unlikely to fall into the hands of Lou Xiao'e.

After all, Lou Xiao'e will get married eventually. It would be fine if she married into the family of the wife's family, but if she gets married, the most likely possibility in Hong Kong Island is an arranged marriage.

Lou Zhenhua hadn't noticed Wu Xiuying's thoughts yet, and he just said hesitantly: "I've been thinking about it, it's hard to leave my hometown."

He is over fifty years old and no longer has the vigor and vitality of his youth.

"So what are you going to do? Xiao Lin has given us a one-year deadline, so the sooner you make a decision, the better. I don't think he would do it without a purpose. We want Xiao E to marry him."

"But he told us such important information without asking for money or favors, which must have been a big risk for him."

Wu Xiuying wanted to say that she wanted to stay in Sijiu City, but she didn't know how to say it, so she could only urge Lou Zhenhua to make a decision...

"Don't worry, I'm trying to find a solution."

Lou Zhenhua was a little irritable and spoke a little loudly. He was reluctant to give up all this. He didn't want to go south to Hong Kong Island, nor did he want to give up this comfortable life.

After leaving Lou's house, the cool night breeze of late autumn made Lin Yi's feverish mind much clearer.

Lin Yi did not regret what he said to Lou Zhenhua today. He felt that he had done his best and it was most difficult to accept the favor of a beautiful woman.

Although nothing happened between him and Lou Xiao'e, he would be able to face her calmly in the future.

I just feel a little regretful and impulsive about the promise I made to Lou Zhenhua that he would marry Lou Xiao'e after donating his property.

After all, he is not living alone now. He has the old lady and Liu Mei at home. Liu Mei has nothing to do with this matter, but the old lady lives with him, and their household registration books are together.

If there really is any disturbance in the future, the old lady will also be affected.

But thinking about the plot, He Yuzhu was saved by the old lady even in that condition, so it seems that he will not be in fatal danger.

Lin Yi knew where his weaknesses were. He had no problem with his background or qualifications, but he had too few connections, and it could be said that he had no heavyweights at all.

Although at present, he has a good relationship with the steel rolling mill and the street office, Director Wang, Zhou Kangri, and even Zhang Bing and Yang Aiguo all take care of him like their own son or nephew.

But Lin Yi really didn't know how much ability they would have to protect him when those years really came.

Especially for Yang Aiguo, Lin Yi had never made any plans, and in the plot, he was just hit.

As for going against Director Li who had not yet arrived at the steel mill, Lin Yi really hadn't thought it through.

Even if Director Li is removed, it is hard to say whether another Director Chen or Director Zhang will come in the future. It is not certain that the new person will be easier to deal with than Director Li.

In other words, Lin Yi himself can be the director, or, taking a step back, he can let someone he is familiar with be the director.

But being in that situation and in that position, he always has to do things against his will, and Lin Yi cannot accept this.

He hates doing things against his will.

Lin Yi returned to the courtyard and found that the lights in the main house were on.

The old lady and Liu Mei haven't gone to bed yet.

"Grandma, aunt, why are you still awake so late?" Lin Yi asked.

"The old lady said she couldn't sleep and had to wait for you to come back before she could sleep."

Liu Mei helped the old lady answer.

Lin Yi walked over to the side and sat down as well. He shook the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, what's the matter that you have to wait for me to come back so late?"

The old lady's eyes were bright as she stared at Lin Yi, looking him up and down.

Lin Yi felt a little confused when being looked at.

"You have something wrong, you are worried about something." The old lady said solemnly.

Lin Yi was a little dazed. He didn't know what was wrong with the old lady today. She couldn't sleep so late at night. She just met her and she said she was worried about something.

"Grandma, I'm fine, why are you worried?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Liu Mei for help.

Liu Mei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Today, before Lin Yi came back, the two were still talking and laughing.

The news that Lin Yi had been promoted to section chief spread throughout the courtyard, and many people came to report the good news.

Amid the friendly greetings and congratulations from everyone, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and she looked much more energetic than usual.

Liu Mei didn't know why the old lady said such inexplicable things as soon as Lin Yi came back.

"The children in the family have grown up and know how to find a girl on their own."

The old lady said with some grievance, as if Lin Yi was hiding something from her.

"No, grandma, I just went to visit Director Lou's house today, nothing much."

After saying that, Lin Yi sniffed his arm and found a scent of perfume. The old lady must have a very sensitive nose and could smell that the little bit of perfume left by Lou Xiao'e was almost gone.

"Lou Bancheng's family? My dear grandson, are you interested in Lou Bancheng's daughter?"

The old lady's eyes sparkled as she asked.

"No, that's not the case. The Lou family is so powerful, I'm just marrying up."

Lin Yi did not say that he looked down on the Lou family, but when he said this, many people would definitely think that Lin Yi had lost his mind. What were the conditions of the Lou family and what were the conditions of Lin Yi? If anyone was to look down on them, it must be the Lou family that looked down on him.

"Yes, yes, with what status do the Lou family have, how can they be worthy of my good grandson. I, old lady, do not agree with this marriage." The old lady raised her voice and said firmly.

Lin Yi looked at the old lady strangely, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, or that the old lady had heard it wrongly.
