Chapter 28: Li Zhengmao's Past

"Wife, I'll go out and have a few drinks with Lao Li, and I'll bring the key when you sleep first at night."

Ahn Quan turned back, took the key from the table, and said to the mother and son sitting at the table not far away.

Immediately, without waiting for a reply, he strode out of the house.

He was afraid to hear words of opposition from his wife's mouth.

In fact, Su Yan did not show her unhappiness.

Regarding her husband's sudden departure, Su Yan, who knew about the little trouble in Li Zhengmao's family, did not react much.

Because every once in a while that person would come back to her husband for a drink.

She's used to it.

Seeing her husband leave, Su Yan immediately retracted her gaze, reached out and picked up the towel next to the table, and wiped the mouth of her little son who was dirty on his mouth.

An Yuanyao also didn't say anything.

An Yuanyao is actually not familiar with her friend's father, and in her impression, she only knows that the other party is her father's best friend, but she has never communicated with each other since she was a child.

This is also the reason why she was not so enthusiastic when the other party came in just now.

An Qianxun on the side was wiped by his mother's mouth, because his mother did not control the strength well, which caused him to be extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but make a sound from his mouth.

However, everything he showed, Su Yan didn't care at all.

After wiping his son again, he put the towel in his hand aside, and then picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

After a few chews, the expression on his face began to become dissatisfied.

Muttered quietly.

"Your dad is really capable, how did he make the stuffing I made so unpalatable, the skin is thick and died......"

"Hee-hee, my dad hasn't been able to do this."

After hearing her mother's complaint, An Yuanyao couldn't help laughing twice, and then also picked up a dumpling and took a bite.

Chew in small bites.

"That's right......"

As if thinking of something, An Yuanyao, who was chewing the dumpling skin in her mouth, turned her head to look at her mother on the side.

He asked with some curiosity in his tone.

"Mom, I've always been curious about one thing."

"What?"

Su Yan obviously didn't care about her daughter's question, and after eating a dumpling, she aimed at the next one with chopsticks.

Just as he was about to pick it up, his daughter's voice came to his ears.

"Wanran's mother, why do you always quarrel with Uncle Li?"

“……”

The chopsticks hung in the air.

An Yuanyao didn't notice her mother's strange behavior at the first time, and when she asked this question, she first took a bite of the dumpling she had just eaten, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

Then he said it as if talking to himself.

"When I went to play with Wan Ran, she didn't seem to welcome me every time...... It's not just me, she doesn't seem to talk to anyone. ”

“……”

"What the hell is going on?"

“……”

After falling silent, the expression on Su Yan's face became a little solemn after her daughter asked these questions.

I wondered if I should tell my daughter this......

However, women have a common problem.

It is not so much a common disease of most human beings.

Likes to share gossip with others.

Even if the person is his own daughter.

Su Yan herself wanted to tell others this, but because of her husband's advice, she kept it in her heart and never mentioned it to anyone.

Until my daughter started asking......

At this moment, her heart fell into a whirlpool of entanglement.

Should I tell my daughter about the grievances of the previous generation?

Should it be......

didn't dwell on it for too long, Su Yan, who had already been suffocated, immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand.

A slap on the table.

With a bang, An Yuanyao and An Qianxun, both sisters and brothers on the side, were taken aback.

Tremble subconsciously.

The two siblings turned their heads to look at their mothers in unison.

looked at her mother's face with some excitement......

"Mom......"

"Actually, your father told me that I can't talk nonsense about this, but you are my daughter, and it's nothing to talk to you."

"What?"

"Aren't you curious why Li Zhengmao and Ye Rong are the way they are now?"

The chopsticks in his right hand were slowly lowered.

Su Yan looked at her daughter with a puzzled face on her side, and a smile appeared on her face.

Leaning in the direction of her daughter.

Come to me.

Just as he wanted to say something, he found that the son on the other side was also looking at him.

With a glaring of eyes, Su Yan took out the posture of Yan's mother.

"Eat your food, look at what!"

“……”

Hearing his mother's reprimand, six-year-old An Qianxun's originally raised little head immediately lowered, and he was not very skilled in holding chopsticks to pick up the dumplings in the bowl into his mouth.

A pair of ...... There is only food in the eyes.

And Su Yan turned her head to look at her daughter after seeing her son eating honestly.

At the same time, he lowered his own volume.

"Actually...... Your Uncle Li's family used to be very poor......"

"Huh? Uncle Li...... How so? ”

Hearing her mother mention this, An Yuanyao showed a shocked expression.

In her impression, Li Wanran's father was a first-class rich man, and she realized this when she was very young.

Li Wanran always had new clothes, as well as toys that her father brought back to her from outside from time to time......

Those were all things that An Yuanyao had never seen before.

Good looking stationery box, beautiful doll......

But now my mother told me that Uncle Li was poor before?

Before An Yuanyao came back to her senses, her mother's voice came to her ears again.

"In the past, when your father was learning to paint, Li Zhengmao also went to learn, and at that time, ...... The teacher said that he had no talent in this area, so in the end only your father was left behind, unwilling to teach him......"

“……”

"I don't know exactly what happened, anyway, it didn't take long for him to leave suddenly, and when he left, he came to see your father, and said that he wanted to make a name for himself......"

"This ...... This is ...... from now."

"He actually came back once not long after he left, and no one in the village paid attention at that time, he sneaked back in the middle of the night, at that time, your grandfather's family was also a figure with a face in the village, Li Zhengmao climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to find your father and ask him to borrow ......money."

"Borrow money?"

"Well, I borrowed a lot, and at first your father asked him if he had committed something outside, who knows that he didn't say a word, and when he came back, he looked quite embarrassed, as if he had been beaten."

"I've been beaten...... Mom, how do you know these details so well? ”

Hearing her mother's detailed description, An Yuanyao's focus was obviously a little crooked.

It doesn't sound like it's from the perspective of a bystander, it's more like seeing it with your own eyes.

And it was An Yuanyao's inquiry that Su Yan, who was talking about it, suddenly became like a stuck shell and became distracted.

Slowly......

The expression on his face also began to change.

Become...... It's like being shy.

Blushing.

Stealing incense
