Daddy Li buried his head deeply, his shoulders shaking unnaturally. From his tone and attitude in the past, it is not difficult to see the deep self-blame in his heart. Li Xiaonuan felt distressed for this affectionate man, and decided to open this knot today.

Seeing that everyone's feelings eased slightly, Li Xiaonuan continued: "You all only saw my father staying at home that day, did you ask my father why he didn't do things." You must know that it was busy with farming at that time, how could there be a strong man who could be idle? ”

"I'm here to sue you, because Xiao Gang was sick that day, and he was so burned that he was talking nonsense. My mother's body happened to be unwell at that time, and she couldn't take care of Xiaogang. And Xiaoyang and I were called by the fourth uncle to his father-in-law's house to help cut rice. These. You don't know, do you? ”

"Don't ask if my grandma is at home, because Xiaoyang and I stayed at the fourth aunt's house at that time, and we didn't return home until my grandfather's bad news came. I guess that grandma should have been at the fourth uncle's house to take care of the fourth aunt who had just become pregnant with Xiaojun. ”

When the fifth uncle heard this, he suddenly roared with a thick neck: "Xiaogang is sick, why didn't the eldest brother say it that morning?" ”

Father Li raised his sad eyes and watched the fifth uncle return sadly: "You forgot, you went to the city at dawn early in order to be able to choose a piece of jewelry for your younger brothers and sisters who have not passed through the door." ”

Father Li looked at the fourth uncle who wanted to stop talking, and also explained: "You forgot too? At that time, you had already taken your younger siblings and lived in the village of Laren. When Dad Li said this, he looked at the door and said quietly, "Originally, the day before, I had promised my father to go back to the mountains for him to attend the funeral. It's just that I didn't expect Xiao Gang to get sick that night. ”

"Your sister-in-law was in very bad health for the past few days, you all know it. My mother was not at home, and my father had no choice but to go back by himself. That day, I took Xiaogang to the city to see a doctor, saying that it was chickenpox. ”

"At that time, your sister-in-law and I were frightened, so I didn't have time to tell you that Xiaogang was sick. Fortunately, after the acne came out, Xiao Gang survived. If you don't believe it, look at Xiao Gang, he still has acne marks between his eyebrows and under his left ear. ”

The old lady never knew that there was such a secret secret, so she asked Father Li in a mournful voice: "When your father's incident happened, why didn't you say it?" ”

Father Li closed his eyes of remorse and replied in a trembling voice: "At that time, I didn't have a chance to say it, and I forgot to say it later." Thinking about it later, my father has already had an accident, and if I say it again, nothing will change. ”

The fifth uncle choked up and shouted: "Big brother..."

The fourth uncle sat on the stool on the side dejectedly, his eyes blank. It's like a ship that has lost its target while floating on the sea, completely without direction.

Li Xiaonuan believes that since the words have been spoken, everything must be put on the table. Looking at the Li family who was forgotten on the ground, Li Xiaonuan spoke: "The matter is far from the fact that Xiaogang has a pox. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Li Xiaonuan continued: "The reason why my mother was not in good health in those days was because she was pregnant. It's just that the month is still young, so I didn't notice it for a while. It just so happened that she was busy with farming at that time, and she was tired out, and her guide was unstable, and she would slip at any time. ”

"I heard about it by accident. At that time, my mother endured all kinds of discomfort and dragged her weak body to prepare for her grandfather's funeral. Every day you are busy, and you will be blamed. Therefore, after the funeral of my grandfather, my mother had a miscarriage and had heavy bleeding. ”

"At that time, you patronized and accused my father and my mother, and when you saw my mother lying on the bed, you rushed to accuse her of pretending to be sick. If it weren't for Xiao Gang crying and begging my mother not to die, maybe my mother would have been gone at that time. ”

Li Xiaonuan's words touched the wound in Su's heart, she couldn't hold back any longer, covered her mouth and ran out crying. Tang and Mao chased after her and shouted: "Sister-in-law..."

When the old lady heard so much information, the string that she had been holding on to broke with a "snap". Her originally straight back bent down instantly, she clutched her chest and whimpered: "Boss, why don't you tell your mother these things?" Why? ”

The fifth uncle knelt on the ground, pounded the ground with his fists, and also asked, "Why didn't the eldest brother tell us about these things, why?" ”

The fourth uncle was still sitting on the chair, just pulling his hair with his hands.

It is not difficult to see that, in fact, the family understands it in their hearts. It's just that they have been running away all these years, escaping the sadness and pain brought to them by their grandfather's accident. Therefore, they turned those pains into hatred and put them on the father and wife of Li who had been suffering silently.

Now, Li Xiaonuan peeled off the painful skin they were wrapped in layer by layer, and they had an epiphany and were at a loss. Faced with a past that was completely contrary to the facts they thought, they regretted it both bitterly and regretfully.

Seeing that the matter had been almost explained, Li Xiaonuan pressed down the last straw: "My mother was completely damaged because of that miscarriage. Although he picked up his life, he could no longer produce it. And when it is windy and rainy, and her temperament changes, her waist and abdomen will ache like a knife. ”

"Xiao Gang has always wanted a brother or sister, but there is no way. That's why he often went to his uncles' houses. Because the uncles have children younger than him in the family. Fourth aunt remember, the year before last, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Xiao Gang came to your house, what did you say about him? ”

"You said, 'Xiaogang, you don't come to our house in the future. Our little army will have to study and take the top exam in the future, and we can't mix with you little rascal. At that time, I happened to help Xiaoyan carry firewood, so I kept this sentence in my heart. After that, Xiao Gang never wanted to go to his uncles' house again. ”

The fourth uncle put down his hand pulling his hair, pointed to Li Shi, who was kneeling on the ground indifferently, and asked, "What Xiao Nuan said is true?" At that time, you really said that to Xiao Gang? ”

Li Shi didn't answer the fourth uncle's words, but just looked at Li Xiaonuan with resentment, and asked in a hoarse voice: "So, do you want your fourth uncle to divorce me?" ”

Li Xiaonuan shook her head slowly, she felt a sore throat now. Originally, the typhoid fever was not good before, but after saying so many words today, she felt a little unbearable. Xiaoyang saw that Li Xiaonuan began to clear her throat and swallow saliva, so she immediately poured a bowl of water for her.

After Li Xiaonuan drank the water, she felt that the sore throat had been reduced a lot. said to the Li family: "Fourth aunt, I never thought of letting the fourth uncle divorce you. I just wanted to ask you, what did our family do to be sorry for you and make you hate us so much? ”

Hearing this, Li Shi looked at Father Li, and said through some gritted teeth: "I think it's better for you not to know about this matter." ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Daddy Li, Daddy Li looked at Li frankly, and inexplicable flashed in his eyes. Li Xiaonuan said reassuringly: "Fourth aunt, I think it's better for you to say it." I've been inexplicably harmed by you twice, and I don't know why. I'm feeling aggrieved. (To be continued.) )
