Siheyuan: I just like to stir up trouble

Lin Fan and the other person followed Lou Xiao'e into the Lou family's home and found Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan sitting on the sofa in the living room, so they greeted them.

"Welcome, welcome. Please take a seat!"

Lou Bancheng greeted her with a smile, while Lou Tan looked thoughtful.

"I heard from Xiao'e that your name is Lin Fan, so can I call you that?"

Lin Fan pulled Fang Meng to sit down, and Lou Bancheng asked.

"No problem, just call me Lin Fan, this is my wife Fang Meng!"

Lin Fan introduced Fang Meng to Lou Bancheng.

"Lin Fan, you already have a wife, so what does our Xiao'e count for?"

Lou Tan suddenly spoke, her tone a little unfriendly.

"She's my daughter-in-law too, we're all the same, I treat you all the same!"

Lin Fan didn't care and continued to smile.

"You are so nice, you treat everyone equally. Do you still think this is a feudal society? You..."

"Shut up, you have no right to speak!"

Lou Tan was somewhat dissatisfied with her daughter being a concubine, so she was a little harsh in her words, but was interrupted angrily by Lou Bancheng.

"Lin Fan, you don't have to pay attention to him. Women don't know anything. A capable man can naturally attract more women!"

Lou Bancheng smiled apologetically at Lin Fan.

"It's okay. Parents are all compassionate. I understand your aunt's mentality. But to be honest, although Xiao'e has no official status with me, she is better than others in every way except this. Besides, Meng'er is a good sister to her. The two of them have no conflicts and live in harmony. Isn't this much better than her finding another man like Xu Damao?"

Lin Fan said to Lou Bancheng seriously.

"You're right. His mother and I let Xiao'e down because of Xu Damao's incident. We didn't investigate Xu Damao's character thoroughly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen into this fire pit!"

Speaking of Xu Damao, Lou Bancheng felt a little guilty towards his daughter. It was he and Lou Tan who had done something wrong.

"It's ok, Mom and Dad. I don't blame you. If I hadn't married Xu Damao and gone to that courtyard, I might not have met Lin Fan. Besides, I was still a virgin when I followed Lin Fan. Although the title is not nice, I have a clear conscience! Lin Fan doesn't mind that I've been married, and I don't mind that I don't have a name. What's more, Fang Meng and I are as close as sisters. We are so happy living together!"

Lou Xiao'e also made her words clear today and hopes that her parents can bless them.

Originally, she didn't plan to tell Lin Fan about it, but later Lou Bancheng persuaded her to meet Lin Fan, and Lin Fan was also willing to come to the Lou family, so everyone should be frank and make things clear.

"Well, that's good. Lin Fan, are you a level 8 fitter in the steel rolling mill?"

Lou Bancheng had no objection. In his opinion, as long as Lou Xiao'e was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Yes, but I just haven't taken the exam yet. When the project starts, I will take the engineer's certificate exam. It will be easy for me."

"It seems that your financial security is in place, and I see that you get along well and have a deep relationship, so there is only one last question left."

Lou Bancheng nodded with satisfaction. Not only was Lin Fan handsome, he also had skills. He was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him and spoke in an organized manner. He was indeed a young talent. No wonder Xiao'e was so devoted to him.

"Uncle, please tell me."

"Recently, I've always had a feeling that a storm is about to come. To be honest, the Lou family is a big tree that attracts the wind. I feel that it will be difficult for the Lou family to escape in the future. I'm worried that Xiao'e will be implicated, so I want to know if you can protect her."

Lou Bancheng sighed a little. He had been feeling more and more stressed recently, and had a feeling that a disaster was about to happen.

Chapter 387 Lou Bancheng Makes a Decision

"Uncle, I actually do have some tricks up my sleeve, like this!"

Lin Fan pressed lightly on the coffee table in front of him, and a clearly visible handprint appeared on the solid wood coffee table.

Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan were stunned, even Lou Xiaoe and Fang Meng looked surprised.

They knew that Lin Fan was proficient in Chinese martial arts and a dual cultivation technique, but they had never expected that he had already reached such a level.

"Lin Fan, is this Kung Fu?"

Lou Bancheng touched the palm print with his hand, and then asked curiously.

"Yes, this is Kung Fu. I am fully capable of protecting Xiao'e. Even if the situation changes in the future, I have a place to put Xiao'e so that she will not be implicated by the Lou family!"

By then, outsiders won't be able to find her, and with my care, she will naturally have nothing to worry about.

Lin Fan couldn't explain the details of the small world to Lou Bancheng and the others, so he could only be vague. However, as long as Lou Bancheng and the others knew that he was capable of protecting Lou Xiao'e, that would be enough.

"Since you have made plans for the future, I feel relieved. As long as Xiao'e is safe, it doesn't matter to us."

Lou Bancheng nodded with relief. Since Lin Fan had a way to protect Lou Xiao'e, that was enough.

As for themselves, let's take it one step at a time!

"You don't have to worry about Xiao'e's matter. I don't think my uncle has to sit there and wait for death. He can leave the mainland before the situation gets worse and settle in Hong Kong. He can come back when the situation changes!"

Lin Fan began to persuade Lou Bancheng to leave. Instead of staying in the old city and living in fear, they might as well go to Hong Kong and enjoy life.

"Leaving the mainland? But I can't bear to leave!"

Lou Bancheng was a little hesitant, because Chinese people have a complex about being unable to leave their homeland, and believe in returning to one's roots, so he was still a little reluctant to leave the mainland.

"Uncle, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. It's not like you won't be able to come back in the future. Just think of it as going out to develop for a while. It won't be too late to come back when everything is calm!"

Lin Fan tried to persuade him earnestly.

"You're right. We can't be hypocritical at this time. We need to protect ourselves and the Lou family first before we have a chance to discuss other things. Otherwise, people will die, so what's the point of considering these things?"

Lou Bancheng pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"Old Lou, are you really leaving? But I can't bear to leave here, and I can't bear to leave Xiao'e!"

Lou Tan was a little dazed when she heard this, she didn't want to leave.

"It's not that I want to leave, but the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable, and the limelight is becoming increasingly wrong. It is reality that forces me to leave. I have no choice. If I don't leave, it will be too late to regret when my family is broken up. Since Lin Fan has a way to settle Xiao'e, it's better for us to leave. Just like Lin Fan said, we will come back one day!"

Lou Bancheng explained to Lou Tan in a serious tone.

"Okay, but you don't have to take Xiao'e away. I'm still a little worried about her!"

After hearing this, Lou Tan also faced the reality, but she still wanted to take Lou Xiao'e away.

"Xiao'e has someone she loves now, she won't leave with us, and Lin Fan is a calm, cautious, and insightful person. Since he said he has a way to place Xiao'e, I believe him!"

Lou Bancheng shook his head and decided to help Lou Xiao'e. This young man could achieve great things. He was optimistic about Lin Fan and it would be right to leave Xiao'e to him.

"That's right, I won't leave Lin Fan. Even if I die, I want to die beside Lin Fan. And Lin Fan will protect me. I believe in him!"

Lou Xiao'e also spoke seriously.

"Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up. Well, you and your daughter have made up your mind. There's no point in me objecting. So let it be!"

Lou Tan shook her head and said, "Forget it, just let Xiao'e go. Her children and grandchildren will have their own blessings and she can't control them anymore."

"It's almost time now. Xiao'e, go ask the kitchen if the food is ready. I want to have a couple of drinks with Lin Fan today!"

Lou Bancheng suddenly said to Lou Xiaoe.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Lou Xiao'e immediately went to the kitchen.

"Lin Fan, do you plan to have a child with Xiao'e?"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e leave, Lou Bancheng asked softly. It was obvious that the old father was worried about his daughter.

"Uncle, Xiao'e and Fang Meng are both preparing now. Don't worry, no matter who gives birth first, or whether the child is a boy or a girl, I will treat it the same way!"

Lin Fan did not hide anything, and Lou Bancheng felt reassured.

"Dad, the food is ready!"

"That's good, tell the kitchen to serve the food!"

Lou Bancheng invited Lin Fan to the table. At the dinner table, the two analyzed the path that the Lou family should take to Hong Kong and looked forward to the future of the mainland. The two talked and enjoyed themselves.

After lunch, Lin Fan took Fang Meng and left the Lou family.

"Brother Lin Fan, I think that Lou Tan doesn't like you very much!"

On the way home, Fang Meng and Lin Fan chatted

"It's pitiful how pitiful all parents are. She is just concerned about Xiao'e. Besides, it doesn't matter if she doesn't like it. It's not her decision to make!"

Lin Fan didn't care. He lived with Lou Xiao'e, not with Lou Tan, so why did he need her to like him?

"That's true, but Xiao'e's parents are gone. Won't she be all alone in the future?"

Fang Meng continued thoughtfully.

"We are her family too. Aren't you her sister?"

"Go to hell, Xiao'e is older than me!"

"Then why do you call her Xiao'e instead of Sister Xiao'e?"

"Because I'm the principal wife, how can a principal wife call a concubine or a sidekick sister? She should call me sister!"

"That's true, I'll talk to her when I get back!"

"Oh, I was just kidding, don't say that, it's so annoying!"

The two of them chatted and laughed, played and joked as they returned to the courtyard.

"Uncle, it's winter now, and you're still taking care of your flowerpot. Do you still have flowers in it?"

Lin Fan and Fang Meng walked into the yard and happened to see Yan Bugui fiddling with a flower pot with his back to them, and they couldn't help but tease him.

"Who is it? Hey, Lin Fan, you don't understand this, do you? People like me are leeks!"

Yan Bugui was startled and quickly stood up but bumped into a brick and cried out in pain.

"Chives? Chives are good. They grow back every time you cut them. I think it's time for me to harvest chives!"

Lin Fan said thoughtfully after hearing this.

"You also grew chives, why didn't I see them?"

Yan Bugui was a little surprised. When did Lin Fan have the leisure to grow flowers, plants and vegetables?

"This is invisible leek, you don't understand, you are busy, we are leaving first!"

Lin Fan said this casually, then left with Fang Meng.
