Chapter 1074 No one has the right to dominate other people's lives
No one could watch this scene without feeling heavy-hearted, not even Dabao. Thinking about how dark the next ten years would be, his heart felt like it was blocked by a stone, and he could hardly breathe.
As soon as they returned home, Sha Zhu and his wife Lou Xiao'e came to visit. Dabao had deep feelings for Sha Zhu. In their previous life, the two brothers always had a few drinks together. In addition, Sha Zhu married Qin Huairu, who was his niece-in-law. Moreover, although Sha Zhu was harsh in his words, he had a good heart and got along well with Dabao.
"Brother, are you back? I missed you so much."
If someone else said this, it would be as weak as his kidneys, but when Sha Zhu said it, he meant it sincerely.
Dabao and Shazhu hugged each other and he said with a smile.
"What's the matter? Brother Zhu, if you say that, not only will my sister-in-law misunderstand, but even my wife will be worried. Aren't you looking for trouble for us brothers?"
Sha Zhu and Zuo Mingyue laughed out loud. Nuan Nuan didn't know what the adults were laughing about, so she started laughing too. Only Lou Xiao'e had a bitter face, as if she had a lot on her mind.
Dabao saw what was going on and understood the purpose of the couple's visit. If it were someone else, he wouldn't care, but since Lou Xiao'e married Sha Zhu, the situation was different.
Dabao asked Shazhu and his wife to sit down, and he went upstairs with his bag. After a while, he came down wearing a military uniform.
Sha Zhu was confused as he looked at the two gold stars on Dabao's collar badge, and he spoke.
"Brother, I still don't understand. You two are wearing police uniforms one moment and military uniforms the next. Which side are you on?"
Now that the Central Investigation Bureau was hanging around, Dabao no longer had any need to keep it secret, but he still didn't say anything. After all, it wouldn't be good for Shazhu to know some things. He poured Shazhu a cup of tea and gave Lou Xiaoe some melon seeds and candy.
Now he and Zuo Mingyue have no secrets. Zuo Mingyue certainly knows where her man got these good things from, so she doesn't care.
Sha Zhu was impatient and couldn't hold back what he wanted to say. He grabbed Dabao and spoke hurriedly.
"Brother, your sister-in-law and I came here to ask you for something."
Dabao nodded.
"Go ahead, Brother Zhu, let's discuss it together."
"Brother, you're not at home all the time, so you don't know. The capital is in chaos now. Not only are there beggars everywhere, but everyone in the factory, from leaders to workers, is doing self-examination and exposing each other.
I heard that the Four Cleanups Movement in the city is being upgraded to the Five Antis Movement, and every item here involves your sister-in-law's family. We two came here to ask for your advice. What exactly is going on?"
Dabao pondered for a moment, then took Nuannuan from Zuo Mingyue's arms. He had nothing to hide from Sha Zhu and told him everything that was true.
"Brother Zhu, this campaign isn't a big deal. There are bigger campaigns waiting for us. My suggestion is that my sister-in-law's family should all leave. I know that Lou Bancheng has already moved most of his family business to Hong Kong. If that's the case, let's go there as soon as possible.
I’ll come back after the movement subsides in a few years…”
Sha Zhu was in a dilemma. He looked at Lou Xiao'e. The couple was in a good relationship now, so how could they bear to separate?
Dabao understood as soon as he saw it, and he spoke hurriedly.
"Sister-in-law doesn't have to leave. As long as Lou Bancheng publishes a statement in the newspaper before leaving, stating that he and Lou Xiao'e are severing their father-daughter relationship, and you, Brother Zhu, are three generations of poor farmers, that will be enough to guarantee sister-in-law's safety."
Sha Zhu was happy when he heard this, but Lou Xiao'e was half happy and half worried. She was happy because she didn't have to be separated from her husband anymore, but she was worried because now that her parents were gone, it would be hard to say whether she would have the chance to see them again in this life.
Lou Xiaoe said to Dabao.
"Brother Dabao, can we let Zhuzi and Yushui go with us? This way, our family won't be separated."
Dabao smiled.
"Hong Kong isn't a safe place either. The mafia is rampant, and they're protected by corrupt police. With Brother Zhu's personality, if he encounters injustice in Hong Kong, he'll definitely stand up for it. By then, not to mention anything else, even his life will be in jeopardy. That's why I don't recommend Brother Zhu leave."
This is Dabao putting himself in Sha Zhu's shoes. Sha Zhu is a generous and upright person, and he knows a few tricks. If he encounters unfair things, he will definitely rush forward. He is different from Xiao Erduo, who has been a gangster since birth. Now that he has joined the gang, he has no burden in his heart.
Of course, if Dabao wanted to protect Shazhu, that would be fine, but why? Everyone has their own path to walk. Why should Qin Dabao dominate He Yuzhu's life?
Lou Xiao'e was shocked when she heard this and quickly spoke.
"Then I won't leave. I won't leave. Zhuzi and I will stay in the capital. Let my parents go."
Dabao remembered that Lou Xiao'e also went to Hong Kong in her previous life and married a husband there, but she was not happy. It would be better for her to stay in Beijing in this life and give birth to children for Sha Zhu. Such a life would also be happy.
"Sister-in-law, ask your father to leave you some property before he passes away. After your father passes away, donate all of it. That way, no one will dare to touch you in the future."
Lou Xiao'e thought about it and nodded in agreement. She knew clearly in her mind that even if she didn't donate, these properties would not be kept. It would be better to take the initiative and build a good reputation.
After receiving the confirmed news, Sha Zhu and his wife did not dare to stay for long. They had to hurry to find Lou Bancheng and tell him about this matter. The situation was becoming more and more tense and they could not delay any longer.
Facts proved that Dabao was absolutely right. In ten days, Lou Bancheng would not be able to leave even if he wanted to. Twenty years later, after the country's reform and opening up, Lou Bancheng had the opportunity to return to his hometown in his twilight years.
Only then did he realize that several of his old friends had hesitated and refused to leave, and as a result, without exception, all of them had their families broken up and their wives and children separated. The Lou family simply treated Dabao like a life-saving bodhisattva, but that is a story for later.
Since Dabao is back, of course he is the one who cooks for the family. He decided to make Beijing fried noodles with soybean paste. The noodles cooked with spiritual well water are simply the most delicious.
There was no yellow bean paste at home, and Lu Xiu'e happened to come back, so she went back to the grocery store and bought half a pound of yellow bean paste. Dry yellow bean paste with sweet bean paste is the soul of the old Beijing fried bean paste noodles.
He had just fried the meat sauce and was cooking hand-rolled noodles when Zhao Subu ran in crying. She saw Dabao immediately pounce on her, the child crying breathlessly.
"Brother, please come to my house and take a look! People from the factory came to arrest my father, but my eldest sister refused to let them go and beat them up. Then the police came and took my eldest sister away too."
When Dabao heard this, he quickly called Lu Xiu'e in.
"Mom, something happened at Uncle Zhao's house. I have to go over and take a look. Please come and cook the noodles."
Lu Xiu'e quickly agreed and took the chopsticks from her son's hand. Dabao dragged Subu out of the yard. Zuo Mingyue, worried, carried Nuannuan back into the house, grabbed Dabao's coat and pistol, and chased after them...
