Chapter 181 Countermeasures
After returning to the Lou family, He Yuzhu quickly cooked a meal and then ate with a few people.
While eating, looking at He Yuzhu who looked troubled, Lou Hongxuan asked, "Zhuzi, are you worried about something? Why are you frowning?"
"Dad, I want to talk to you about something after dinner." He Yuzhu said seriously.
Seeing his son-in-law's serious expression, Lou Hongxuan asked in confusion, "Zhu Zi, what's the matter? There are no outsiders around now, can't you tell me?"
"Dad, let's talk about this first."
"Brother Zhuzi, what's the matter? Why is it so mysterious? Can't I even listen?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Yes, Zhuzi, can't I do it too?" Lou Tan also echoed.
"Ezi, Mom, it's not that you can't listen. You will know after Dad and I finish talking. It's just... hehe, I'll tell you later." He Yuzhu said with a wry smile.
"Alright, you two, what are you asking?" Lou Hongxuan said, "I'm full. Zhuzi, how about you? How about we go to the study now?"
"Okay, I'm a little full too."
After that, the two of them went to the study upstairs one after the other, which made Lou Tan very dissatisfied. "They are so mysterious, and I don't know what they are doing?"
Entering the study, Lou Hongxuan immediately became serious, "Zhu Zi, tell me what's going on?"
"Well, Dad, I really don't know how to start this. Today I went to see our Director Li and the senior leader who I often cook for..."
Before He Yuzhu finished speaking, Lou Hongxuan spoke up, "You mean to say that the voices against capitalists in society are getting louder and louder, right?"
"Well, Dad is really smart. He figured it out so quickly."
"Ah! What I didn't want to happen still happened. This is the day I was afraid of. I also told you that the reason I agreed to you and Xiao'e was because of this factor," Lou Hongxuan said with a headache, "Zhu Zi, what have you heard?"
"Dad, let me first tell you about the hint our Director Li gave me. He hinted to me to divorce Ezi." He Yuzhu said cautiously.
"What?" Lou Hongxuan said angrily, "This Li Huaide can even say such a thing."
But after getting angry, he sighed deeply again, "He is still quite optimistic about you, otherwise he wouldn't tell you all this, ah! You have been living cautiously and worried for so many years, really..."
"Dad, isn't this a hint? I will never really separate from Ezi. I only have one wife in this life and I will never betray her." He Yuzhu said firmly.
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lou Hongxuan said with relief, "I know, I know you are reliable. Go on, what did the big boss who cooked for you say?"
"Dad, the big boss has also been laid off and is at home with basically nothing to do. He is not optimistic about the future, but he said that this trend will pass sooner or later, and the country will get back on track." He Yuzhu said.
"Hey! Whether to return or not is not something I consider as a businessman. What I consider is what we should do? Zhuzi, do you have any ideas?" Lou Hongxuan said.
Hearing Lou Hongxuan say this, He Yuzhu knew that he had been prepared for a long time and was just waiting for an opportunity to make up his mind. After all, it was really hard to leave his hometown.
"Dad, I don't know, but the boss's advice to me was to escape from here and come back when things are stable. He said he firmly believed that this day would not be too far away, and would only be a few years at most." He Yuzhu lied.
"The word 'escape' is really well used. We did escape. We were forced to escape." Lou Hongxuan said with a wry smile.
After a bitter smile, Lou Hongxuan said, "Zhu Zi, I actually planned this a long time ago. Xiao E should have told you that she has an older brother. I asked him to take his family to the far south a long time ago. This is the way out I left for our Lou family. I received a letter from him before. He has settled down there, but he didn't dare to write to me in recent years."
"Dad, you have been prepared for this! Do you mean to run south?" He Yuzhu asked knowingly.
"That's right. We businessmen all know that we should never put all our eggs in one basket. Otherwise, how could our Lou family have such a large family business?" Lou Hongxuan said proudly, "It's just that Xiao'e's eldest brother said that it's a bit chaotic over there, and not very stable. But no matter how unstable it is, we can still survive, right? If things really get going here, it will be very dangerous. I know how terrifying it is when playing Landlord."
"Dad, you're right." He Yuzhu agreed.
"So what do you mean?" Lou Hongxuan asked.
"Dad, to be honest, I don't want to leave. Besides, the children are so young, and it's so far away, I'm afraid they can't stand the bumps on the road. Plus it's not stable over there, and the children would be a burden if they went over there, right? But I won't really separate from Ezi. Otherwise, you can go first, and I'll come to find you when the children are older. Or we can do as the big boss said and it will be over in a few years!" He Yuzhu said.
Finally he made a decision. After all, it was only ten years. It wasn't a farewell forever, so it was no big deal.
"Hey! Do you mean you and the children should stay? Or Xiao'e should come too?" Lou Hongxuan asked.
"Dad, Ezi can't stay. I'm afraid she will be in danger. As for the child, there is no way it will be implicated, so..." He Yuzhu said with a blushing face.
"Well, I know what you mean. You are right. The children should be the priority. But what does Ezi say? You know she loves you deeply, and there are also the children! This really is...you decide for yourself! At least there is no rush. There is plenty of time to think it through." Lou Hongxuan said helplessly.
"Dad, you're right. There's still time. Let me think about how to tell Ezi!"
"I really can't bear to part with it! Is such a huge family business going to be lost just like that?" Lou Hongxuan said sadly, "Some things can't be taken away. Apart from those gold bars, the others are really useless."
"Dad, I was just about to tell you, give me the things you can't take away, and I will hide them for you. Nothing will happen." He Yuzhu suggested.
"Actually, that's what I just thought. I still have a lot of houses under my control. Maybe you can really protect them if you stay, but it's hard to say." Lou Hongxuan said.
"Dad, don't keep so many. We can buy more when we come back. Just keep one for me to hide your antiques and other things. Sell the others! It's better to bring more gold bars." He Yuzhu suggested.
"Okay, let me think about it and discuss it with your mother. You should also talk more with Ezi and make sure to comfort her." Lou Hongxuan reminded.
"Okay dad, I know."
