Chapter 405: Contradictions

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin felt that his heart was a little mixed: Is this the normal state in this country? He has gradually begun to understand Qiao Liang's feelings and the reason for his indifference.

It was a kind of sadness that was different from the depression Lin felt before, quite powerless and desperate.

For Lin, he was pessimistic and sad that he had too many worries and could not break free from the shackles and gain recognition, but for ordinary people, this sadness was the sadness and despair of fate that was difficult to resist.

It's getting dark.

Qiao Liang returned to the shack.

"Just now, the patrol team came. Lin said.

"Really?"

Unexpectedly, after listening to Lin's words, Qiao Liang's eyes began to shine, and he said with an expectant expression: "Then ......" For some reason, Qiao Liang didn't continue, but his eyes immediately dimmed a lot.

At this time, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the door, attracting the attention of Qiao Liang and Lin.

Before Qiao Liang could step forward to check what was happening, the door was kicked open by the angry children.

"What do you want to do? Haven't you learned enough lesson?" Seeing who it was, Qiao Liang said with disdain. It can be seen that the relationship between him and the other children here is not very good.

"Qiao Liang, what do you say we want to do? Look at the good deeds your father has done! Why did he do this to us?" said the boy who had been beaten during the day. At this time, his voice trembled a little, and his face still had the black blue left at that time, and the large area was very scary.

Qiao Liang was obviously stunned, and then looked at the kid to confirm the wound on his body, and his eyes became a little trembling. But he still pretended to be calm, and said with considerable disdain: "He must be doing this to you because you have done some shady deed, who can blame him? What does it have to do with me?"

"Qiao Liang, are you still talking in human terms? You know better than us what kind of person your father is, why do you need to be so quick with your tongue?" a girl said anxiously, obviously trying to reconcile the conflict between Qiao Liang and the others.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the girl's words fell, Qiao Liang's emotions suddenly became excited: "You are not allowed to talk about him like that!"

"Hehe, then why didn't your father take you back to his luxurious mansion, but let you wander around outside like a beggar! To put it bluntly, he is just a spineless soft rice man, and he abandoned his wife and young children when he fell in love with a young lady from a noble family, and even his current position as patrol captain was obtained by his wife, such a man is simply hateful, not a thing at all!" said the boy through gritted teeth, looking quite angry.

Listening to the boy's words, Lin felt quite surprised: it turned out that the previous patrol captain turned out to be Qiao Liang's father! But this also explained why the captain behaved like that during the day.

"Do you dare to say it again?" The expression on Qiao Liang's face was quite complicated, and his emotions were already a little uncontrollable.

It seems that no matter how calm and mature Qiao Liang usually behaves, he is still just a fragile child at heart.

"Why don't you dare? You pretend to be in tune every day, don't you just want to get your father's approval and return to him? But does he dare to ask for you? That soft egg doesn't dare at all! Seeing his wife is like a mouse seeing a cat, he doesn't dare to say a word, how can he dare to take you back? Don't do any more dreams of the eldest young master! Impossible! How many years have passed since this, your father will never recognize you for the rest of his life, no matter how hard you try, it is useless! Not to mention, his aristocratic wife had already given birth to a child for him!!" The boy said angrily, he was obviously already angry!

"You ......" Qiao Liang finally couldn't control his emotions, lost his mind, and wanted to rush up and teach the boy a good lesson.

Seeing this, Lin hurriedly stepped forward to grab Qiao Liang, although he was almost unable to hold it back.

"Yes, you are the one who hides the wanted criminals! We have suffered a great deal of punishment for you...... I'm going to denounce you, just wait to go to the guillotine with him!" It was only then that the children noticed Lin, who had been silent on the sidelines, and recognized him as the wanted murderer.

Qiao Liang was obviously stunned, glanced at Lin again, and then shouted angrily at the boy: "You dare!"

"Why don't you dare? You dare to take him in, don't I dare to report it! I want to see if your timid father chooses to protect you, or risk your life to make himself an official!"

"You ......" Qiao Liang was speechless angrily.

"Okay, you all don't quarrel, is there anything you can't say, why do you have to be so stiff?" Lin opened his mouth to persuade, and the two sides were a little quieter.

Qiao Liang glared at Lin fiercely, and then left angrily.

When the other children saw Qiao Liang leave, they didn't embarrass Lin. However, they still stood still, and they were all obviously still angry.

And it was only at this time that Lin realized that his injured leg was really swollen, and he was now a little unable to stand. So Lin trembled and leaned against a shelf next to him so that he could feel a little more comfortable.

"Can you tell me about the relationship between Qiao Liang and his father?" asked Lin kindly.

The children had been quite wary of Lin, but when they saw that he seemed to be a gentle man, they gradually grew bolder, and someone told him the whole story.

It turned out that Qiao Liang's mother was his father's first wife, who married him when he was still a down-and-out boy. And Qiao Liang's father is down, but he is still a self-motivated person, working hard to run a small family of two, so their life is quite happy, and they have their own children.

But the world is hard, and it is useless to just rely on hard work, so Qiao Liang's father once stagnated for a long time, and his career did not improve after all, making him depressed all day long, until he met his current wife.

Qiao Liang's father's current wife is a young lady from an aristocratic family, because Qiao Liang's father is good-looking and self-motivated, the young lady fell in love with him at first sight. And Qiao Liang's father chose to lean on this thigh without surprise, after all, the status of the current wife's aristocrat and the status of the family are impossible for him to get by fighting all his life. So of course, he abandoned his first wife and children and joined his new wife's family instead. His wife also used her connections and power to get him an official position, and she was considered a person of status in this border area.

As a result, after being abandoned, Qiao Liang's mother was deeply affected and soon fell seriously ill and died. Qiao Liang also became a homeless orphan, lonely and helpless. But Qiao Liang did not give up on himself because of this, but was very obsessed with returning to his father's side and letting his father accept him again. He felt that he was not good enough, so his father would not want him, so he had been working very hard to make himself excellent, so good that his father was willing to keep him by his side. But his father has always ignored him, and he has always avoided Qiao Liang. So over time, Qiao Liang's personality gradually became a little paranoid, and this is also the fundamental reason why Qiao Liang has a bad relationship with other children.

To be honest, the other children didn't have any deliberate thoughts about Qiao Liang, after all, everyone was a poor homeless person, and they needed to huddle together to keep warm many times. So even if Qiao Liang's behavior is incompatible with other people many times, and he is often suspected of pretending to be high, everyone will not deliberately find fault with him, and it can be regarded as peaceful.

But Qiao Liang's father is the patrol leader, and the contradictions between the patrol and these stray children are irreconcilable, so these children are often taught a bad lesson. On weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with these street children. Whenever this time comes, although the patrol team will be ruthless to the children, it will not provoke Qiao Liang because of the captain's face. And this kind of differential treatment will naturally make the children feel dissatisfied, and even simply transfer the hatred for the patrol to Qiao Liang, and Qiao Liang is often extremely excited at this time, unreasonably defending his father, which makes the relationship between the two sides further deteriorate, and develops to the current attitude of mutual hatred. If it weren't for Qiao Liang's vigorous skills and temper, he would have been kicked out by others long ago.

The little boy said angrily: "After all, doesn't he just think that he is different from us, and he has a home to go back to, so he is so pretentious? But does his cowardly father dare to recognize him? He only dares to be powerful in front of us, and he really thinks that he is the eldest young master?
