In the cafeteria, the workers lined up in an orderly manner.

As luck would have it, Xu Damao was standing behind Zhu Chenhui’s group. The people following Zhu Chenhui were all his fellow apprentices.

The topic that this group of people and Zhu Chenhui like to talk about most is Lou Xiaoe.

Either out of jealousy or envy, they all enjoyed teasing Zhu Chenhui.

“Chenhui, I heard that your wife had a miscarriage?”

Zhu Chenhui’s face looked a little ugly, and he just hummed.

Those people did not let him go and continued, “It’s said outside that it was your mother who pushed your wife.

what is the problem?

Your wife is the daughter of Mr. Lou, and Mr. Lou also has shares in our steel mill.

From now on, these shares will all be yours.

Your mother is not satisfied with such a rich daughter-in-law?”

Xu Damao still harbored hatred for the Lou family in his heart, but when he heard that Lou Xiao’e was not doing well, he suddenly felt happy.

He was much happier when Lou Xiao’e was not doing well.

Zhu Chenhui felt somewhat dissatisfied when he thought of Lou Zhenheng’s attitude towards him. Except before they got married, Lou Zhenheng had not been very kind to him.

The most typical thing is that people despise him for being a petty citizen.

Just like Xu Damao did in the beginning, he did not dare to offend the Lou family. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only suppress it in his heart.

“Don’t talk nonsense. My wife had a miscarriage because she slipped, not because of my mother pushing her.”

“We didn’t say anything nonsense. It’s spread all over your courtyard.”

Zhu Chenhui said angrily: “They are jealous of me marrying Lou Xiao’e and are deliberately slandering our family.”

Those people were satisfied only when they saw Zhu Chenhui angry.

Xu Damao stood up and said, “I believe what Brother Zhu said. I met Lou Xiao’e when I was a child, and she had the temper of a young lady.

Even when I need to put on clothes, I want to hire a few people to help me. This is not suitable for the life of our working class.

I think it must be Brother Zhu’s mother who wanted her to adapt to family life, so she was a little strict with her.”

Zhu Chenhui didn’t expect that someone would speak for him, and he suddenly felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

“Xu Damao is right. My mother just wants her to adapt to life in our family. She is not abusing her at all.”

Someone looked at Xu Damao and asked, “Have you seen Zhu Minghui’s wife before?”

Xu Damao said, “Of course I have. My mother used to be a servant in the Lou family, and I often went to the Lou family. Lou Xiao’e and I can be said to be childhood sweethearts.”

“You’re just bragging. If you and Lou Xiao’e were childhood sweethearts, then why didn’t Lou Xiao’e fall in love with you?”

Xu Damao said disdainfully: “What do you know? I am a staunch member of the working class.”

Whether it was his childhood sweetheart or the working class, both deeply hurt Zhu Chenhui’s heart.

His dissatisfaction with Lou Xiao’e grew.

Xu Damao took the opportunity to share the Lou family’s previous luxurious life and infiltrate those people.

“Chenhui, is what Xu Damao said true? The Lou family drinks bird’s nest and eats sea cucumbers every day.”

Zhu Chenhui’s heart was hurt even more.

The last time he went to Lou’s house, he actually saw Lou’s mother drinking a bowl of bird’s nest porridge. At that time, Lou’s mother gave a bowl to Lou Xiao’e, but did not give it to him.

He said he didn’t know they went there today, so he didn’t cook that much.

He didn’t think so much about it at the time, but now after Xu Damao’s words, he thought more about it.

The Lou family clearly looked down on him and that was why they didn’t let him eat these.

Soon it was their turn to get the food, and they stopped chatting.

Zhu Minghui ordered a portion of eggplant and two steamed buns, but he didn’t want to eat the meat.

Xu Damao ordered a plate of stir-fried pork with green beans and two steamed buns, then sat down with Zhu Chenhui and the others.

“You are so stingy. You married Mr. Lou’s daughter, but you didn’t even want to eat meat. You saved so much money to have children.”

Several other people reached out to pull Xu Damao, signaling him not to say anything.

In fact, they also had this doubt, but they just didn’t show it. Zhu Chenhui’s face became even uglier.

When Lou Xiao’e got married, the Lou family gave her a lot of gifts, but not much money.

The key is that no one believes him when he says this.

When Lou Bancheng married off his daughter, he didn’t give her a few tens of thousands of dollars. If others knew about it, they would laugh at him.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not stingy, I just don’t want to spend Lou Xiaoe’s money. I have hands and feet, I earn my own money and spend it myself.”

Xu Damao laughed in his heart, but said, “You are ambitious. I admire people like you the most.”

As a result of Xu Damao’s deliberate planning, the already strained relationship between Zhu Chenhui and Lou Xiao’e developed a bigger rift.

Of course, Zhu Chenhui’s fellow apprentices also assisted in this. They perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be afraid of a brother’s hard life, but also afraid of a brother driving a Land Rover.

Xu Damao seemed to have discovered the fun, and for a period of time afterwards, he deliberately hung out with Zhu Chenhui and others every day.

Under his instigation, Zhu Chenhui became increasingly dissatisfied with Lou Xiaoe.

On the other hand, after Lou Xiao’e recovered, she went to the street office to report.

Lin Jinghan has already told Director Wang about this, and the subdistrict office has even held a special meeting for this purpose.

The topic of the meeting was the transformation of capitalists.

They all thought that using Lou Xiao’e as a pilot was a good idea.

Lou Xiao’e lived up to everyone’s expectations and took the initiative to extend a helping hand after seeing a family in need on the street.

She took out all the dowry she had hidden and used it to buy food and clothing for those people.

The neighborhood office confirmed that she was a volunteer and began to accept her.

Comrades from the street office and the Women’s Federation called on everyone to learn from her.

Before Lou Xiao’e got married, she couldn’t go to school and didn’t have many friends because of her background.

After getting married, I was ostracized and oppressed by my husband’s family and felt extremely lonely.

Now there are so many people who accept her, encourage her and support her, she feels particularly satisfied.

Lou Xiao’e quickly integrated into the tide of the times and became a capitalist lady with a revolutionary heart.

In order to help the street office solve the difficulties, she went to find Lou Zhenheng and asked him for money and things.

Lou Zhenheng didn’t care about what Lou Xiao’e wanted. After learning about Lou Xiao’e’s behavior, he strongly supported her.

In his opinion, a good reputation that can be bought with money is worth more than anything else.

With Lou Zhenheng’s support, the subdistrict office quickly solved many problems that were previously unsolvable.

For example, the maintenance of houses for nursing homes, orphanages, poor families, and martyrs’ families, the supply of materials, etc.

The subdistrict office even used Lou Zhenheng’s support to set up several small businesses, solving employment problems for some people.

These were regarded as political achievements and reported to the higher authorities, and then all the relevant people on the street were commended.

The subdistrict office held a special meeting to discuss how to reward the Lou family.

The final decision was to classify Lou Xiao’e as an activist.

With the street’s publicity, Lou Xiao’e became a role model for everyone to learn from.

The news reached the Zhu family, but they did not get support from the Zhu family. They felt that Lou Xiao’e would rather give the money to outsiders than to her family. This meant that she did not treat them as a family.

Lou Xiao’e’s mother-in-law wanted to torture Lou Xiao’e again, but was taught a lesson by the liaison officer in their hospital.

In the past, Lou Xiao’e was tortured, but no one spoke up for her.

It’s different now. Lou Xiao’e is an activist in the street and has been praised by the street.

Their yard cannot go against the street.

Lou Xiao’e’s spirit is different now, and she shows the temperament of a strong woman later on.

Her dominance made Zhu Chenhui, who was already dissatisfied with her, even more dissatisfied.

The couple hardly spoke to each other when they met. This marriage existed in name only.

Zhu Minghui wanted to divorce, and was immediately scolded by the liaison officer.

Lou Xiao’e is now a well-known person on the street. Many people have benefited from her. If they divorce, how will others view their courtyard? (End of this chapter)
