Chapter 45: If You Don't Marry, You Don't Marry (8)
"Dad, are you alright?"
Sending off Xiao Zhengguo and Li Caifen, Xiao Zhengtao sat on the kang, silent, the whole person looked decadent, and even had an indescribable sadness.
Although Xiao Feng was in the outhouse, she could hear all their conversations clearly.
There were times when she couldn't hold her breath and wanted to rush in, but she held back. There was already a gap between their father and daughter, and she didn't want to continue to widen it.
And she also wanted to see if he would respect her wishes.
So now he has such an expression, completely because Li Caifen mentioned her mother!
She has almost no impression of that woman, and all she knows comes from "hearing and hearing" after she is sensible.
Listen to the old man, listen to the villagers.
Her mother seems to have a good background, and she is still in free love with her father, but the problem lies in free love.
The two couldn't help but fall in love with each other, and she became an illegitimate daughter properly.
Then one day, the woman finally couldn't bear the fingers of the villagers, and left their father and daughter and ran away.
The old man told her that she was seriously ill and died, but she preferred the former.
"Dad?"
"Ah, I'm fine, Xiaofeng, I'm sorry, I have to tell you something......"
Xiao Zhengtao finally came back to his senses and opened his mouth with difficulty.
Xiao Feng naturally knew what he was going to say next, and Li Caifen mentioned that woman, and all his insistence fell apart.
She, the daughter who has been with him for 18 years, is not as good as that woman in his heart.
"Let me marry Jiang Chu."
Seeing that he was so embarrassed, she simply said it for him.
Xiao Zhengtao's eyes widened, "Did you hear everything?" ”
"Well, Dad, I just want to ask you, how long will they lead you by the nose?"
What is the saying?
Mourning his misfortune and being angry with him, this is Xiao Feng's mood now.
"Actually, I owe your uncle a life. If it weren't for him, I would have been beaten to death. ”
Xiao Zhengtao's expression was solemn, stating this fact.
"Then if I marry Jiang Chu, even if I pay off their family?"
Xiao Feng knew that this was just his excuse.
Xiao Zhengtao's breath stagnated, and he didn't say yes, nor did he say no.
She is the person he cares about the most in his life and hopes that she can be happy.
……
In the early morning, smoke fills every house.
Xiao Zhengtao was on crutches and stood outside the Jiang family's plough and rake wall, with a serious expression.
Although he didn't refuse the marriage yesterday, he wouldn't bet on Xiao Feng's happiness in the rest of his life, so what kind of person Jiang Chu is and what kind of situation his family is, he has to determine with his own eyes.
Although there was no one in the courtyard, there was a burst of children's laughter in the house.
After a while, the little girl with two pigtails ran out.
She didn't see him at first, but she tossed her two little legs upside down, and when she got to the pile of dry wood, she tried to hold him.
"Grandpa, why are you standing outside my yard? Is it lost? ”
The little girl turned around and finally saw him, asking in a milky voice.
Xiao Zhengtao looked at her immature little face, and suddenly felt in a trance, as if he saw Xiao Feng's childhood.
The year her mother left her, she was also the girl's age.
"Grandpa didn't get lost, grandpa is here, he's here to find your eldest brother, is your eldest brother at home?"
As soon as Jiang Tian heard that he was here to find his eldest brother, he shouted at the house with his throat raised.
"Big brother, there's a grandfather looking for you outside!"
