Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

With Lou Xiao'e among them, the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became casual, and Lou's father and mother also accepted this cheap son-in-law.

Finally, when talking about important things, Father Lou called Yan Jiefang into the study.

Father Lou lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and asked dully, "Are you really going to leave? Is there no other way?"

Although he had doubts, Lou's father had a certain understanding of the domestic environment in his heart, but he was not as pessimistic as Yan Jiefang described, and he always had illusions.

Yan Jiefang didn’t know how to explain it to him, so he sighed deeply.

It can understand Mr. Lou's complicated feelings now. For the older generation, their roots are here, and they will not leave their hometown unless it is absolutely necessary.

Hearing Yan Jiefang's sigh, Lou's father also knew the answer Yan Jiefang gave him, and couldn't help falling into deep thought again.

Yan Jiefang came this time to persuade Lou's father to leave, not only for the safety of their family, but also for the future development of his own family.

Although according to his own guess, after completing the task of separating the two Liu brothers, the space anchor he would get would allow him to shuttle between Hong Kong and the inland at a fixed point, but Hong Kong also needed a reliable person in charge, and this person in charge would naturally be none other than Lou's father.

After organizing his thoughts, Yan Jiefang said, "Dad, I don't need to tell you about the current situation. You know that ordinary people can't even get enough to eat, while the capitalists are living a luxurious life with plenty of fish and meat."

"In your eyes, this is normal. You also earned your money with your own ability. What you eat, wear and use are all bought with money, not legitimate income. But in the eyes of those workers who can't afford to eat, it's different. Your life of luxury is bought with the blood and sweat of oppressors, and they are full of hatred towards you."

"We didn't touch you in the past few years because the higher-ups still needed the support and help of capitalists like you. But now that the external unrest has gradually eased, those people above us have time to deal with our family affairs."

"In order to eliminate the resentment of the workers, the higher-ups will definitely target you capitalists. What do you think will happen to you?"

"But I have also helped the country. Even if I am a capitalist, I am a red capitalist!" Father Lou still refused to give up and argued unwillingly.

"In the eyes of those people up there, red capitalists are also capitalists, and are fundamentally different from ordinary farmers and workers. Besides, you have a nickname called Lou Bancheng. Even if some people up there want to let you go, most of them won't. As long as they get rid of you, they can divide up your property. Even if it's just a small share, they can make a fortune. What reason do they have not to get rid of you?" Yan Jiefang responded directly to Lou's father's struggle.

Seeing that Father Lou was speechless, Yan Jiefang didn't care and continued, "You are leaving now, but it doesn't mean you won't come back. You can come back in a few years when the situation stabilizes."

"You can continue to work for the country when you go abroad. The country is in a state of disrepair right now, and both industry and people's livelihood need to be developed. Foreign countries have imposed a technological blockade on our country, and all kinds of advanced machinery and equipment cannot be shipped to the mainland. But Hong Kong is different. It is now nominally under the jurisdiction of foreigners, and the intensity of the technological blockade has been reduced. Some machinery needed in the country can be purchased in Hong Kong."

"If we use Hong Kong as a transit point to bring things back from outside, it will also be a contribution to the motherland."

"If you're willing, I can help make the connection. The people above should be happy to do so."

After a moment of silence, Father Lou said solemnly, "Hong Kong is also in chaos. I don't have any connections here. It's not easy to send machinery and equipment to the mainland! If I go there, what will happen to the assets here? And what about Xiao'e? Will she follow us or stay here?"

Hearing what Lou's father said, Yan Jiefang knew that he was moved, but he still had some concerns.

Yan Jiefang continued, "Dad, you went to Hong Kong with a political mission. Although you can't bring back advanced foreign machinery and equipment in the early stage, you can bring in food, meat, cloth and other materials needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation. We don't expect to make money from the national crisis, we just want to get a reward for our hard work. Don't forget, the real rich people in Hong Kong are the foreigners, and we want to earn their money."

"The assets here are easier to handle. We sell what we can, and donate what we can't to the country."

"As for Xiao'e, it depends on her wishes. If she wants to stay here, she can stay here. If she wants to go to Hong Kong with you, she can go to Hong Kong. I can protect her."

"This..." Father Lou was also hesitant, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After hesitating for a while, Father Lou finally made up his mind and sighed, "Let's leave. We can't help the country here. I hope that it will be like what you said, and we can help the country in Hong Kong!"

At this moment, a clear system sound came from Yan Jiefang's mind.

"Ding, the system mission is completed. Rewards are now issued: three space anchors and a pack of special cigarettes."

Upon hearing that the mission was completed, Yan Jiefang knew that the two Liu brothers had separated from Liu Haizhong, so he immediately checked the introduction of the reward space anchor.

Space Anchor: A one-time consumable item that cannot be retrieved after use. After use, you can set a location you have visited as a coordinate, and the host can teleport to this coordinate through space communication.

After seeing the introduction of the space anchor, Yan Jiefang finally felt relieved. With the space anchor, he could travel back and forth across Hong Kong, which made it easier to smuggle goods in the future and also reduced the risk for Lou's father.

In this way, Lou's father only needs to be responsible for purchasing in Hong Kong, and Yan Jiefang can take care of other things.

"Since you have agreed to go to Hong Kong, I will start looking for my old friends to sell my property tomorrow. There are many things that I cannot take with me, so you can help me deal with them. If you cannot keep them, just sell them." said Lou's father.

Yan Jiefang had no intention of taking the Lou family's property. He had the system, and money was just a number to him.

"Dad, if you can't take anything with you, tell me when you leave and I'll take it to Hong Kong for you. I'm sure you'll need it there."

Mr. Lou felt more and more mysterious about his cheap son-in-law, who even promised him that he would take the things that he could not take away.

Although he was curious, he held back and thought it would be better not to ask about his son-in-law's secret.
