Chapter 25 25, Speculation
Lou Tan was in a panic, but she still stepped forward to comfort Lou Xiao'e.
It is not easy to hide this kind of thing, otherwise when Lou Bancheng learns the true situation from the Xu family, the consequences may be more serious. But it’s not easy to say it directly, you can only fool it first.
To put it bluntly, she, Lou Tan, is just the successor of Lou Bancheng. The main branch of the Lou family is always the eldest son's family on Hong Kong Island.
If Lou Tan wants to give Lou Bancheng a son or something, then his status will be slightly better. But how high a status can a girl have by just being next to her?
If he really paid attention to Lou Xiao'e, he would have sent her out long ago. The reason why Lou Xiao'e and several other concubine children were left behind was just to prove to their superiors that the Lou family had no intention of riding two boats.
To put it bluntly, the actual status of the Lou Tan family is not important now, it is just a decoration.
As for the original drama, after Lou Bancheng died, most of his inheritance went to Lou Xiao'e.
There are naturally the methods of Lou Tan and Lou Xiao'e, but the past of sharing joys and sorrows is also one of the reasons.
After all, humans are emotional creatures.
Now that all this has not happened, Lou Tan feels that his status in Lou Bancheng's heart is not that high, so he is really a little worried about screwing up what Lou Bancheng told him.
Of course, the current focus is to coax Lou Xiao'e well.
Lou Tan hugged Lou Xiao'e and said with a smile: "Brother Damao remembered something important and left before he could say hello. Look, you are in a panic. Are your hands hot?"
Although Lou Xiao'e is simple, she is a person who accepts death. Still asking in a sullen voice: "Really? Why didn't he even say hello to me when he was leaving? Mom really didn't say anything to him?"
"Mom, can I still lie to you? Damao must have something important, otherwise why would he leave just after entering the door?
Think about it, with Xu Damao's temperament, if his mother really said something to him, he wouldn't be able to beg shamelessly for a while?
When did you ever see him be so straightforward? "If Lou Tan had not experienced what she just experienced, she would really believe her words.
The key is that Xu Damao reacted too quickly just now. As soon as Lou Tan said it, he slapped his ass and left in less than three words.
He didn't even say a word about not bullying young people into poverty.
After Lou Tan coaxed her for a few more words, she finally coaxed her precious daughter and sent her upstairs.
Sitting alone in the living room, thinking about how to explain to Lou Bancheng.
Xu Damao was walking on the road, and when the night wind blew, he figured out Lou Tan's little trick, which was just some teasing mentality between the above and below.
Xu Damao didn't know what the Lou family was facing now. But in the original drama, Lou Xiao'e married Xu Damao.
This shows that Lou Bancheng has no intention of sending Lou Xiao'e out. If this is the case, then Lou Tan is deceiving himself.
Xu Damao also didn't believe that his making a scene in the courtyard would affect the Lou family's choices. That's not the wings of a butterfly, it's Lao Leng.
Xu Damao thought for a while, whether he should completely separate from the Lou family. But I was disappointed to find that it didn't seem to work.
After all, it was Lou Tan who said this. If Lou Bancheng said he wanted to send Lou Xiao'e out, then Xu Damao could go along with the flow and say goodbye to the Lou family. As for Beauty's Favor, it's better than going through that kind of torment again in the future.
There are other things, such as what will happen if Lou Xiao'e marries someone else. This is the original person's fault. What does Xu Damao have to do with him?
Xu Damao did feel a little moved just now. He didn't know whether it was the remnants of his original memory or whether he was really attracted to Lou Xiao'e.
But after leaving Lou's house, a small breeze blew, and Xu Damao woke up completely again.
Xu Damao called a three-wheeler and went directly to his parents' house.
At this time, it was time for every family to have dinner. Xu Damao pushed the door open and saw a family of three sitting around the table, eating rice porridge and pickles and eating Sanhe noodles steamed buns.
What can be seen with the naked eye is that the steamed buns have more coarse grains and less fine grains.
The so-called three-joint surface and two-joint surface do not mean that they are based on fixed proportions.
Mix cornmeal, white flour (wheat flour), soybean flour or other whole grains together. Since we all eat Sanhe noodles, there must be more coarse grains and less refined grains. Even fine grains are just a little bit pretentious, or they are all coarse grains.
So don’t compare it with the current Sanhe noodles in restaurants or elsewhere.
It’s certain that this stuff gets stuck in your throat, and it’s also certain that it doesn’t taste good.
Don't think that Father Xu and the others are reluctant to eat. This kind of food is considered good for this year.
Many people just have a bowl of sweet potato porridge or steamed pumpkin and mix it half full, which is considered a meal. As for if you are hungry at night, getting up and drinking some cold water can be considered as a supplement.
Xu Damao didn't choose, he sat down directly, picked up a steamed bun and started to eat it.
Xu's mother walked into the kitchen while muttering, and took out another pair of chopsticks for Xu Damao.
Naturally, what Xu's mother muttered was that Xu Damao didn't come a little early so that he could prepare some delicious food for him.
Xu Damao smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. I just came out of Lou's house and I wanted to come to your place to have a good time, so I don't have to go home and cook it myself."
When they heard that their son had come from Lou's house and hadn't even eaten dinner, Xu's father and Xu's mother looked at each other and knew something was going on.
So he stopped talking and concentrated on eating dinner. As for the little girl Xu Zhaodi, she was naturally speechless and was munching on the steamed buns to avoid being full.
These days, there is no refrigerator or anything, so most of the time we cook by counting people. It was originally a meal for three people, but now four people come to eat, and naturally they are not full.
Fortunately, Xu Damao knew what he was doing, and after gnawing on a piece of steamed bun, he stopped taking action. There is too much cornmeal and the taste is a bit sour.
So I filled a bowl of porridge with some pickles and took small sips to moisten my throat.
After Xu Zhaodi finished eating, she consciously put away the dishes. Xu's mother originally wanted to go to the kitchen with her daughter, but Xu Damao stayed behind.
Xu Damao took out a dime and smiled at Xu Zhaodi: "You wash all the dishes today and do the hygiene. This is your reward."
What else is there to say, the little girl is full of fighting power.
Xu Damao told his parents what had just happened in the Lou family.
Xu's mother asked doubtfully: "No way? I went to Lou's house a few days ago and I never heard about Xiao'e leaving."
Xu's father also nodded and said: "It's impossible. If we want to leave Lou Bancheng, we have already sent several of our children away. We won't wait until this crisis comes."
Xu Damao said in surprise: "Could it be that something really happened outside?"
Xu's father also said a little doubtfully: "There is nothing wrong with the Lou family. I just heard that several big businessmen have been arrested in the pigeon market recently, and they are all engaged in food. Logically speaking, Lou Bancheng will not be there. Mixing in. Those are all head-turning things. Dozens of people were not even imprisoned, but they ate peanuts when they were caught."
Xu Damao also thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. This matter is different from what happened in the courtyard. Even Xu Damao has never seen those bad things in the courtyard.
But there are so many rumors on the Internet, and it is almost impossible to deduce the cause from the effect.
But the Lou family's affairs were not shown at all in it.
