"I'm not a capitalist, why should I run away!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.
"Ezi, stop talking nonsense. Uncle Zhao is here to do some business and he came to see us specially. What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Damao quickly told Lou Xiaoe to shut up.
Lou Xiao'e didn't care that she said the wrong thing, she just stuck out her tongue to get away with it.
"Uncle Zhao, I heard that the country is now putting order in place. When can we go back and take a look?" Xu Damao asked quickly as he pulled Zhao Cheng to sit on the sofa.
He came out that year because he listened to Zhao Cheng's persuasion, and Lou Xiao'e also gave birth to a son for him, so he had to run away with the Lou family.
But because he was the only one in his family who came out, and his father and mother were still in their hometown, he was always thinking about the situation at home.
Now that he heard that things had been put right, he was eager to know when he could go back. He also missed home and his parents.
"It will be around next year or the year after. After all, no one in the country will hold you accountable now, and you are a Mingzhu now, right? It's different now!" Zhao Cheng joked with a smile.
"Oh, Uncle Zhao, please stop laughing at me. I'm a pure flower-growing family!" Xu Damao quickly expressed his opinion. He knew how much Zhao Cheng hated those who forgot their roots.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came here mainly to see you. My ship will return to the mainland tonight. I just need to wait for you here to get on board!" Zhao Cheng said.
"Uncle Zhao, can we really go back in the next one or two years?" Lou Xiao'e said excitedly.
Her father died of illness because he missed home. Now that she heard the news that she could go back, how could Lou Xiaoe not be happy?
"Indeed, the country has already started the work of redressing some of the unjust, false and wrong cases in the past. Your situation is not serious and you should be able to return home soon. After all, you are different from your father!" Zhao Cheng said seriously.
"Does my father have any further explanation?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"That's not the case, but not all the people who wanted to take action against your father were removed. Some are still in power. The main reason is that your father's ideas are wrong. But there is no point in saying this now. Anyway, there is definitely no problem between you two! I can reassure you about this!" Zhao Cheng said.
Zhao Cheng had originally let Xu Damao escape because he wanted to give this only person in the courtyard who treated him well a good outcome. After all, Xu Damao was the person who respected him the most in the courtyard.
The couple had helped Pingping a lot when Zhao Cheng was on business trips, so Zhao Cheng made an exception and gave them a way out, allowing them to escape.
Otherwise, given Zhao Cheng's personality, he would have wanted to make capitalists like this disappear. He had been a slave for so long in the later generations, and now that he had power, he could just do what he wanted! This was what Zhao Cheng should do.
"That's great, I can finally go home!" This time Xu Damao finally believed that he could indeed return.
"By the way, Uncle Zhao, is our courtyard house still there?" Xu Damao asked curiously.
"After the steel mill confirmed that you had escaped, they took back the house and redistributed it. But don't worry, the house in my front yard is still empty. You can move in after cleaning it up. When the national policy is relaxed, you can just buy a house in Peking!" Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said.
Xu Damao was very grateful for Zhao Cheng's arrangement and respected Zhao Cheng even more.
"Uncle Zhao, thank you so much!" Xu Damao said excitedly.
"Don't be so formal, and I'm not asking you to stay here for free. Just remember to bring me some local specialties before you go back!" said Zhao Cheng.
"No problem, don't worry, Uncle Zhao!" Xu Damao knew that this was Zhao Cheng giving him a way out, so of course he had to tease him.
"You two respected me so much and helped your aunt so much. It's my duty to take care of you. By the way, how is your Lou family developing in Mingzhu?" Zhao Cheng turned to Lou Xiaoe and asked.
"There hasn't been much development, mainly because many things here are closely related to the underworld. Although the Mingzhu government has begun to pay attention to this issue, I think the efforts are not enough!" said Lou Xiaoe.
In recent years, the Lou family has mainly been running the restaurant business and has not been involved in manufacturing. After all, there is not much development in the manufacturing industry in a small place like Mingzhu. The manufacturing industry has to look to the north.
"In the next two years, you can switch to real estate and buy some ground-floor shops. After all, as outsiders, we are easily targeted by local businesses. And to be honest, in a place as small as Mingzhu, no business can get too big. Real estate can be said to be Mingzhu's biggest way to make money." Zhao Cheng said to Xu Damao.
"Uncle Zhao, do you mean that we should give up the catering industry and switch to real estate or a leasing company?" Lou Xiaoe said.
"I'm not asking you to change your career, but to diversify your development. Moreover, I also plan to invest some money in you this time. You can buy a house or land!" After Zhao Cheng said this, he opened the suitcase he brought.
This was the ill-gotten gains that Zhao Cheng obtained from the big boss, a total of about three million Hong Kong dollars, which was enough to give Xu Damao as start-up capital.
Seeing so much money, Xu Damao and his wife were stunned. How did Uncle Zhao suddenly become so rich? And in Hong Kong dollars?
"Don't ask where this money came from. It can't be traced back to you anyway. Just secretly take over the land and buildings until it's all spent! When you can go back, remember to bring the land deed to me. After you buy the house, rent it out and keep the rent to you first!" said Zhao Cheng.
This was also the two-pronged preparation Zhao Cheng made. He couldn't rely entirely on Xiao Erduo. After all, Xiao Erduo respected him more out of fear and admiration, and Xu Damao, as an old neighbor, was also a possibility.
As for them swallowing their own funds? This is impossible. Even if they were given some courage, they would not dare to do so, because they knew that they could not afford the consequences of angering Zhao Cheng.
Soon, Xu Damao put away the funds Zhao Cheng had given him, and Zhao Cheng got up and left. It was getting late, and he should go prepare to board the ship and go home.
Xu Damao and his wife stood at the door and watched Zhao Cheng walking away, feeling a lot of emotion.
"Da Mao, we are finally going back!" Lou Xiao'e's eyes were filled with tears. Her father died of homesickness, which has become an eternal pain in her heart.
"Yes, I can finally go home! I want to take the children back to see their grandparents. I want them to go back and recognize their ancestors!" Xu Damao was in high spirits. He was finally free!
