Xu Damao looked at Su Wen's serious expression and was a little confused, "Su Wen, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Damao, do you think the Lou family ran away? This is treason."
Xu Damao's expression changed drastically. He had no idea that the Lou family's departure would involve such serious charges as treason. He looked at Su Wen, his eyes full of surprise and confusion, "Su Wen, is it so serious?"
"Whether it's serious or not depends on how you say it. There's no harm in being prepared early. You should go find Uncle Xu. After all, your relationship with the Lou family is a bit unclear."
Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He knew what Su Wen said made sense and he had to take action as soon as possible.
Xu Damao felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether he would be implicated in this. He decided to go to his father Xu Fugui first, explain the situation to him and ask for help. Xu Fugui is well-informed and can provide some useful advice.
Xu Damao came to his father Xu Fugui's house and knocked gently on the door. Xu Fugui heard a knock on the door, opened the door and saw Xu Damao, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Da Mao, what's the matter so late? Didn't your mother go to help you take care of the child? Why did you come here? "
Xu Damao walked in and said nervously: "Dad, I have something important to tell you."
Xu Fugui looked at his son's serious expression, his heart tightened, and he motioned for him to sit down and speak slowly.
After Xu Damao sat down, he took a deep breath and told his father about the sudden disappearance of the Lou family.
Xu Fugui frowned after hearing this. He realized that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.
Xu Fugui was silent for a moment, took a deep breath of cigarette, and then slowly said: "Da Mao, have you noticed anything unusual in the Lou family recently?"
Xu Damao shook his head, "I don't know either. I didn't notice anything unusual before, and they left so suddenly."
Xu Fugui nodded thoughtfully, "It seems like things are indeed not simple. The Lou family should have been preparing to run away."
After hearing this, Xu Damao felt even more uneasy, "Dad, what do you think I should do? I don't know what to do now."
Xu Fugui took a deep breath of cigarette and was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about how to give his son the best advice. "You first apply for divorce from Lou Xiao'e and report the Lou family's defection."
After hearing this, Xu Damao looked at his father in shock, "Dad, are you telling me to divorce Lou Xiao'e? Are you going to report the Lou family?"
Xu Fugui nodded, "Yes. Only in this way can we completely get rid of the relationship with the Lou family and avoid being involved in greater trouble.
Xu Damao found it difficult to accept, "But Lou Xiao'e is my wife, how can I do this?"
Xu Fugui looked at his son and said sincerely: "Da Mao, you have to understand that this is a special situation. And they have abandoned you and run away. If we don't take measures in time, we are likely to be involved and even affected. The safety of our whole family. You have to think about the overall situation, not just the love between your children."
After hearing this, Xu Damao felt mixed emotions in his heart. He understood his father's worries, but he was still a little hesitant.
"Dad, I know the current situation is very complicated. But Lou Xiao'e and I still have feelings. We still have children. I..." Xu Damao's voice was trembling.
Xu Fugui looked at his son, with a flash of distress in his eyes, but he still said firmly: "Da Mao, you have to understand, this is for the good of our family. Go and report the Lou family's defection now."
Xu Damao was stunned, "But..."
"There is no but." Xu Fugui interrupted his son, "You have to do this. For yourself and for this family. You are a man and must be responsible. If you can't even handle this matter, how can you protect us? The whole family?"
Xu Damao was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, Dad. I'll listen to you."
Subsequently, Xu Damao contacted the police, informed the Lou family of their sudden disappearance, and applied for a forced divorce from Lou Xiao'e.
Xu Damao came and went in a hurry in the past few days, and Xu Yunhai was completely taken care of by Xu's mother. When he was hungry and crying, he could only ask Wang Qianqian for help. Fortunately, Su Wen's family had no shortage of food, and Xu Yunhai could also take a sip of milk.
Under Xu Fugui's operation, Xu Damao quickly successfully divorced Lou Xiao'e, and even published a letter of severance in the newspaper, severing the relationship between his family and the Lou family. Xu Damao's family was not implicated because of the Lou family's escape.
With the conclusion of the trial of the Lou family's escape case, Xu Damao felt an unprecedented sense of relief, which was also accompanied by a deep sense of loss. Whenever he sees Xu Yunhai, he will think of Lou Xiao'e and every bit of their past. But whenever this kind of thought comes to his mind, he will use his father's teachings to remind himself - this is for the good of the whole family.
Xu Damao knows that no matter how reluctant he is, life must go on. He tried to draw his attention away from the memories of the past and began to focus on the life in front of him.
In the courtyard, the Lou family's defection became a hot topic after dinner. Everyone curiously speculated on the real situation of the Lou family, and at the same time expressed sympathy or gloating about Xu Damao's situation.
The Jia family in the Central Court has always been envious of the Xu family's living conditions. Now that they heard that Xu Damao was involved with the Lou family, and that the Lou family suddenly disappeared, they were secretly happy, thinking that this was a God-given opportunity. The third uncle and the second uncle of the Jia family began to have ideas about the Xu family and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the Xu family's house.
In the main room of the Xu family, Xu Dama and Su Wen were drinking. They had three dishes and one soup, one cucumber mixed with pig ears, one mushroom stewed chicken, one green pepper scrambled egg, and one pimple soup. The same meal was also served at Su Wen's house next door, but the ones eating were replaced by Wang Li, Wang Qianqian, Xu's mother and two babies who couldn't speak.
"Brother Damao, have you heard all the discussions in the yard?" Su Wen broke the silence. He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Damao.
"I heard that, a bunch of clowns. They didn't mention that Lou Xiao'e and I have divorced, and the Lou family's affairs don't affect me anymore. They just said that my house is private property, and it's useless for them to worry about it. Let's not talk about these spoilers. Come and have a drink. one."
"Brother Damao said that." Su Wen nodded, raised his glass and touched it with Xu Damao.
"Here, let's do it." Xu Damao drank down the glass, then put down the glass, looked at Su Wen and said, "Su Wen, you don't know, the way those people look at my house has changed now. When they saw me before, They were all polite, but now they are avoiding me. I know that they are all talking about me behind my back and looking down on me."
After hearing this, Su Wen consoled him: "Brother Damao, don't care too much about their opinions. We can't control what others say. As long as we behave uprightly and sit upright, we won't be afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks." .”
Xu Damao nodded, "You're right. I'm just a little unwilling and feel that I've been underestimated."
"Brother Damao, what are you unwilling to do? If you want money, money, work, work, hurry up and find a young and beautiful girl to piss off these restless and well-meaning guys."
"Awen, that's well said."
