Chapter 67: Is It Really Worth It for Such a Stupid Pay!
"That's why Dad thinks he can be justified with Mom no matter what he does, right?" Duoduo's tone was very cold, if this was the case, she would look down on Tao Cheng'an even more, and she would want others to repay her for saving people, so it was not to save people, but to trade and demand.
Lin Yongfang shook his head: "Your dad didn't know that I was the little girl he once saved."
I was only twelve years old at the time, and I was dizzy from hunger, and when I crossed the river, my eyes were dark, and I was planted in the water from the single-plank bridge.
It was the summer season, and the river was very fast, and although many people stood on the bridge and shouted anxiously, no one dared to venture into the river, except for your father, who plunged into the river and risked his life to save me from the river.
When your father pushed me ashore, he was exhausted, and he couldn't get ashore, and he was swept away by the river, but fortunately, many people on the river bank tried to rescue me and stretched branches and bamboo poles to him, and he finally grabbed a branch and was pulled up.
When your father was saved, he heard that I had fainted from hunger and fell into the river, so he gave me the only two sweet potatoes he had. ”
Lin Yongfang seemed to be immersed in that scene back then, but she didn't see the girl's heartbeat and shyness at that time, and her eyes were full of loss.
Duoduo looked at her in a daze.
When she happily married Tao Cheng'an, she definitely didn't expect that Tao Cheng'an would judge the two of the young man who rescued her, and she didn't expect that he would have a group of tigers and wolves like family members who would be strict with her.
Lin Yongfang got up and walked home, Duoduo looked at her thin figure behind her, obviously empty-handed, but it gave people a sad sense of heaviness, as if she was carrying a mountain and moving forward step by step.
Duoduo asked later: "Although people say that the grace of saving lives should be repaid by a spring, but my mother is repaid by gushing blood!" Mom really didn't think about it, is it worth it for you to pay so undignified and stupid for so many years! Is it really worth it! ”
Lin Yongfang's steps paused, and he continued to walk forward.
Duoduo also entered the courtyard later, saw Tao Aiguo weaving baskets with bamboo scorn, walked over, squatted down beside him, and asked hesitantly: "Big brother, is it okay if mom and dad divorce?" ”
Tao Aiguo stopped what he was doing, stared at her with round eyes as if he didn't know her, and said bitterly for a while: "Duoduo!" What's going on in your little brain every day! Don't think about it anymore, and don't give your mother any bad ideas! With that, he lowered his head and went on to weave the basket.
"But...... As children, can we bear to watch our mothers live like this? Duoduo felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Tao Aiguo stopped again, looked into the distance with his eyes, and sighed: "Mom, I also have heartache for such a day, what else can we do except honor her more, as for divorce, don't mention it!" ”
Duoduo suddenly became a little angry: "Are you afraid of your mother's divorce, your reputation is not good, and it will drag you down!" ”
Tao Aiguo looked at her speechlessly: "That's my own mother, how could I be afraid that she would drag me down!" I just thought, if my mother filed for divorce, I don't know how many gossips would have to be arranged in the village, and how much pressure my mother would have to face! At that time, my mother can't stand it, what should I do if something happens? ”
Duoduo saw a glimmer of hope, and asked with a light in her eyes: "Then if Dad files for divorce, others should blame Dad." ”
Tao Aiguo felt that Duoduo was hopelessly stupid, lowered his head and continued to weave bamboo baskets, and sneered: "Dad will be so stupid and divorce Mom!" If he comes back every week after divorcing his mother, who will serve him, who will make food for him! ”
When Duoduo heard this, his heart felt as heavy as a stone.
When Tao Chengan woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and after washing his face, he went to Li Chunhua, who had just cut two large watermelons, and their families were very happy.
Li Chunhua and Old Man Tao only rolled their eyelids and looked at him coldly, and they didn't ask him to eat melons, and the others pretended to be confused and ignored him.
Tao Chengan glanced at the cut watermelon pieces on the table, and a few pieces, each of them had a pile of melon peels at their feet, somehow, thinking of Duoduo's words, Li Chunhua would not give him anything delicious to eat, and suddenly felt a chill that he had never felt before, turned around and left silently.
Yu Caifeng saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped Tao Cheng'an in the back: "Cheng'an, why don't you come and leave, eat melons together." ”
When Tao Chengan heard that there were still people who cared about him, he was almost moved to tears, and hurriedly turned around, and saw Yu Caifeng preparing to get a piece of watermelon for him to eat.
Tao Chengan hurriedly excused himself: "Sister-in-law, no need." "It's a trivial matter to eat melons or not, at least to be able to call him like a sister-in-law, and treat him as a family, which is enough.
Li Chunhua seemed to have Tao Chengan borrowed her money and didn't pay it back, with an old face, rolling his eyelids and saying impatiently: "You don't need to give him food, when he is a cadre outside, you are afraid that he will not have watermelon to eat, but I am afraid that I want to vomit every day!" ”
Yu Caifeng didn't really plan to get him a watermelon, but after listening to Li Chunhua's words, he just borrowed the donkey from the slope, pretended to smile embarrassedly, and sat back in place.
Tao Chengan's mood has deteriorated again, he brought back all the watermelons in the unit, he is single outside, in order to save, he is the worst meal he bought, and there is no oil and water in his stomach, and when he comes back every week, his wife Lin Yongfang always gives him some oil and water to eat alone, otherwise his body will not be able to hold it.
Tao Chengan originally wanted to sit down and talk to them, he usually didn't have any relatives around him in the city, and he didn't want to miss it as a lie, but now he was in no mood for it, so he turned around and walked out again, Li Chunhua suddenly said in the back: "Don't come back once a week in the future, you see that every time you go back and forth, the travel expenses will cost several yuan." ”
Tao Chengan turned around and looked at Li Chunhua with some unacceptability, but Li Chunhua didn't mind and continued: "Just come back the week when the salary is paid in the future." ”
Tao Chengan only felt a cold feeling in his heart, and stayed for a while before he replied in a low voice: "Okay." Then he walked out of the yard,
Yu Caifeng walked out of the yard quietly, she grew up with Tao Cheng'an, she knew his temperament clearly, he was willing to make any sacrifice for this family, as long as the people in this family had a good word for him.
Yu Caifeng actually wished that everyone in this family would give Tao Chengan a look, so that she would have a chance to be a good person, otherwise Tao Chengan would have been coaxed around, and she would be more filial to her than to Li Chunhua!
She caught up with Tao Chengan and compensated Li Chunhua: "Mom was too poor before, and she was looked down upon by the villagers because she was poor, so she was careful in her calculations, don't mind Mom's words." ”
Tao Cheng was relieved, remembered a women's watch he bought for her, touched his pants pocket, no, his hand immediately froze, his face changed, and he walked quickly towards his home.
