Chapter 66: Shameless Demand
Li Feina and Nangong Lin had a very happy conversation, which really confirmed the iron fate of being friends at first sight.
However, before Li Feina could talk enough, she was "urgently" called by James and had to prepare to leave the nursing home.
Lian Wuyi didn't come for many days, and Meng Zhiyang was not at home on a business trip, so she basically didn't have to cooperate with his time to arrange cleaning, so she deliberately stayed in the nursing home for some more time.
After leaving Lian's mother's room, she finds Grandpa Lian in the garden who is playing chess with other old people.
As soon as Grandpa Lian saw his granddaughter, he stopped playing chess happily, and left his chess friends and Lian Wuyi to sit in a place with few people and chat.
Although Lian Wuwu did not come during the period, she called every day to greet her. But since the last time he received a call from Lian's father to ask for money, Grandpa Lian always remembered in his heart whether the unruly son would suddenly appear to ask Lian Wuyi for money.
Because it was not easy to confirm on the phone, Grandpa Lian saw Lian Wuyi now, and he didn't hide it, so he asked directly:
"Wuyi, that bastard with no conscience didn't come to you, did he?"
"Huh?"
Lian Wuyi's reaction was a little slower, and then he immediately reacted that the "bastard" in Grandpa Lian's mouth was nothing more than Father Lian.
To be honest, she herself has been occupied by all kinds of unexpected events recently, and she doesn't seem to think about Father Lian's problems so much. And the main thing is that Lian's father didn't show up or call her, so she naturally didn't know how to contact him.
Now that Grandpa Lian asked, Lian Wuyi remembered that there was still something to worry about Father Lian, but she didn't dare to worry about it openly, so she said to Grandpa Lian:
"Grandpa, don't worry, Dad, he didn't come to me, and I don't know where he is."
"Alas, not coming doesn't mean not coming, and if I could, I really didn't want him to show up again."
Grandpa Lian's words were full of contradictory worries, and his mouth meant that he wanted to sever the relationship, but Lian Wuyi knew that Grandpa Lian was actually still concerned about Father Lian in his heart. It's just that Father Lian is too much and doesn't deserve sympathy.
"Grandpa, let's not think about it so much, maybe Dad has reformed himself, if he really wants to come back, we can still ......."
"No, if he can mend his ways, wouldn't I welcome it? But I know that he can't change, so I don't allow you to recognize him, otherwise, he will kill you! Because of the selfishness of our Lian family, we are already very sorry for you, if it weren't for the ...... back then. ”
Grandpa Lian angrily interrupted Lian Wuyi's soft-hearted words, but as soon as he spoke, he almost told the unknown secret. Fortunately, he stopped his mouth in time before he finished speaking.
But Lian Wuyi also heard a strange smell, she looked at Grandpa Lian's somewhat uncomfortable face, and asked:
"How can grandpa say as if I am not a member of the Lian family, what else was there back then, was there anything I didn't know?"
"Well, grandpa also thinks of your useless father, and he is angry, and his words are messy, and even I don't know what he said, you ...... You just treat your grandfather as a grandfather who doesn't have a clear mind, talks nonsense, doesn't think too much, it doesn't mean anything special. ”
Although Grandpa Lian is old, he has a very bright mind, and he soon has suitable lines to dispel Lian Wuyi's doubts.
When Lian Wuyi heard Grandpa Lian's explanation, she really didn't suspect anything anymore, she would never have thought that she had no blood relationship with the Lian family anyway. In her inherent concept, the Lian family is the family that gave birth to her and raised her, so now she takes care of everything in the Lian family willingly, and she never complains!
"Oh, then grandpa, don't think too much, lest you worry about your body and spoil your body, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."
"Okay, grandpa doesn't want to, but you must not go behind my back and your mother to fill in the hole that shouldn't be filled, otherwise I may be really angry."
Grandpa Lian's words couldn't be clearer, and the pit in his mouth was nothing more than the bottomless pit of Father Lian.
Lian Wuyi naturally knew that Grandpa Lian's words were not a joke, but she still had the same idea. If she can, she still hopes that Father Lian can return to the right path, so that even if it is not a rich and noble life, at least the family is together. As long as the family is complete, she is willing to work hard!
chatted with Grandpa Lian for an hour, and Grandpa Lian took the initiative to ask Lian Wuyi to go back first. And explain that she doesn't have to waste time every day, and it's no problem to come every once in a while. In this way, she can do more of her own things, so as not to delay her normal life every day for the two of them who spend money and need to be served.
Lian Wuyi promised in his mouth that he would come as little as possible to make Grandpa Lian comfortable. In fact, it's okay, just like the situation when she didn't dare to come over because she was injured and was seen by the two elders, as long as she didn't come every day, occasionally when it was inconvenient, she wouldn't feel strange if she didn't come to the two elders.
There are still many things to do in the future, as long as Mother Lian and Grandpa Lian are safe here, she won't have a big impact if she doesn't have to come every day.
With Meng Zhiyang's future, whether it is a lifetime or a short three years, or nothing, she has no answer at all.
Meng Zhiyang went on a business trip early in the morning, and it was still a phone call, and she didn't even give her a message.
It seems that she is really not important in his heart at all, so unimportant that he will not think of contacting her at all, and he will not think that she is waiting for him!
Thinking of Meng Zhiyang, Lian Wuyi's mood couldn't be brisk, and she even walked to the bus stop a little aimlessly with inertia.
Because she was absent-minded, she didn't notice that she was followed by a somewhat down-and-out man. When she was about to reach the bus stop, the down-and-out man suddenly grabbed Lian Wuyi's arm from behind.
Lian Wuyi already had the sequelae of being killed, and when she was pulled like this, she instinctively screamed and struggled to shake off the other party.
"Wuyi, it's me, it's Dad, don't be afraid!"
"You let go...... Father...... Dad, is that you? ”
While Lian Wuyi shook off the other party, he also looked at the people who were close to him, and after looking at it twice, he realized that the person who was dirty like a homeless man turned out to be Lian's father!
Father Lian didn't expect Lian Wuyi's reaction to be so big, and it also attracted passers-by to look at it.
I don't know if it's because of my weak heart or if I'm afraid that someone will recognize him, he looked around a little evasively, and after feeling that there was no problem, he looked at Lian Wuyi and said:
"Helpless, I...... Am I scared of you? ”
"Dad, it's really you!"
Lian Wuyi looked at Lian's father in amazement, he was like a beggar. In my impression, Lian Wuyi's father is as gentle and elegant as a literati. Even if it's not the kind of outstanding handsome, but the whole person looks clean, at least it's a more comfortable type for others to look at at it.
But now it looks like it's miserable!
The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for almost two years, and even if they couldn't forgive Lian's father for his selfishness, Lian Wuyi still took Lian's father to a roadside restaurant and ordered food for Lian's father to eat.
Father Lian's eating looked like he had been hungry for a few days and nights, and he devoured it, and he ate two large bowls of noodles in a row before stopping.
Lian Wuyi looked at Lian's father, who had lost a lot of weight, and knew without thinking about it that when he took away the millions of money from the sale of the house, he must have blocked all the money, so he ended up like this.
Father Lian was full, rubbing his hands back and forth on his thighs, his eyes looked at Lian Wuyi, maybe his heart was weak, he stammered and said:
"That, no one, Dad...... Dad knows he's wrong, can you forgive me once, I'm ....... ”
"How did Dad end up near the nursing home, and how did you know about it?"
Lian Wuyi felt sorry for Lian's father in her heart, but she couldn't show it, and it was not the first time that Lian's father admitted his mistakes, but every time he was forgiven, he would continue to do his job and continue to gamble.
Therefore, now she will not believe so easily that Father Lian really knows that he is wrong, and if he is not doing it, he will repeat his old tricks to win sympathy and ask for money.
Looking at Father Lian, Lian Wuyi tried not to show too much emotion, just calmly waiting for Father Lian's answer.
Father Lian's eyes flickered, smiled awkwardly, and said:
"I'm a little worried about you, but I can't get through to your mother's phone, and you can't get through either. So I went to ask Uncle Liu, who used to get along well with your grandfather, to inquire about your whereabouts, and finally got your grandfather's phone number. ”
"Is Dad really worried about us, or do you need something else?"
Lian Wuyi was outspoken, if he hadn't known from Grandpa Lian that Father Lian was calling to ask for money, Lian Wuyi might have believed that Father Lian was really worried about his mother, grandfather and her. But she could see from Father Lian's eyes that Father Lian was probably worried more about herself than about them.
Sure enough, Father Lian may have been impatient for a long time, and said with the half-truths of Lian Wuyi's words:
"Of course I'm worried about you, but I've really encountered a lot of trouble, and I don't know if you have any money to ......."
"I don't have any money, and I don't plan to pay off your gambling debts."
Lian Wuyi's heart was cold, she knew that Father Lian would definitely ask for money, but her heart was cold, and Father Lian was so fake even the so-called worry about them. In fact, he wasn't really worried at all, otherwise he wouldn't have even asked about the physical condition of Lian's mother and Grandpa Lian, but was in a hurry to ask for money.
Hearing Lian Wuyi's reluctant refusal, Lian's father was stunned, he thought that at least Lian Wuyi would not refuse him. Because Lian Wuyi has always been soft-hearted and kind-hearted, as long as he speaks, he can get some of it, but he didn't expect Lian Wuyi's refusal to be so tough.
Father Lian felt irritable for a while, and said unceremoniously:
"I've raised you for so many years, don't say that I ask you for money, even if you don't ask, you are obliged to give me money."
"At the beginning, you took all the money for the house alone, and my mother and grandfather and I were penniless, almost living on the streets, and we had to be forced to pay back. I was almost caught and sold myself, my grandfather had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital, my mother was seriously ill, and when my father should be responsible for his duties, where were you? ”
Lian Wuyi held back her tears, and in the face of Lian's father's brazen request, the sympathy she put in her heart turned into heartache.
She really wanted to be filial to her parents, but Father Lian had no cure, and she couldn't let him ask for it unconditionally. Don't say that she doesn't have so much for Father Lian to ask for, even if she does, she can't condone it, otherwise it won't help him, but harm him.
When Lian's father heard Lian Wuyi's questioning, he couldn't hold his face a little, but he was also her father. Even if he is selfish, he is qualified to ask Lian Wuyi to give him money.
You know, not only did he raise her, but he saved her life. Otherwise, she would have died on that stormy night.
The grace of saving lives and the grace of nurturing, isn't it possible that he still has no qualifications to reciprocate?
Looking at Lian Wuyi's weak but firm eyes, Lian's father was actually very empty, but he still pretended to say:
"All that was in the past, and I didn't have the ability to turn back time. In short, I have already suffered a lot, you help Dad for the last time, as long as the current problem is solved, Dad will definitely change his past mistakes in the future and never do it again. ”
"How much?"
Lian's father's words are true or not, false or false, Lian Wuyi doesn't want to explore anymore, if he asks for money, she will give what she can give. Regardless of whether Father Lian asked for money for the last time, she only connived at this time. In the future, as long as it is gambling debts, she will not pay attention to them.
It's just that Lian Wuyi has a hunch that the money that Lian's father wants is definitely something she can't afford. Otherwise, Father Lian would not have used both soft and hard, it must be his personal safety that was threatened, so he couldn't wait to need money.
