Bao Li smiled noncommittally, and asked instead, "Dad, you must have been under a lot of pressure when you married your mother." ”

Yu Zhengnan showed a look of reminiscence when he heard this: "What do you say? Dad is just a poor boy from a small fishing village, in the eyes of the Bao family, how can he be worthy of the daughter of a gate valve like your mother? ”

"Do you regret it?"

Bao Li asked reluctantly.

"Regrets?"

Yu Zhengnan flashed a thick sadness: "I can't talk about regrets, because your mother and I really love each other, it's just that the Tao is different, we don't conspire with each other, we have different ideas, and our positions are different, and the reality will eventually make us drift apart, and finally come to the point of parting ways." ”

Bao Li's mood suddenly fell, everything her parents went through was not actually her future.

Is there really no future between her and Brother Xiaoyu?

Perhaps, as my father said, even if they came together despite all the difficulties, they would eventually lose to reality.

"What's wrong? Feel sorry for your parents? There's no need, really, although your mother and I are separated under pressure, we still love each other, as long as I don't do anything that makes the Bao family unhappy, they won't easily turn against my ex-aunt. ”

Yu Zhengnan saw that Bao Li was silent, and thought that she was worried about him, so he chuckled and comforted.

"Dad, I know, I'm just a little confused, I don't know what to do."

Bao Li said worriedly.

"What is there to be confused about, you have to remember, you are my daughter Yu Zhengnan, I hope you can live according to your own heart in this life, how happy you come, if someone dares to bully you, even if Dad pokes a hole in the sky, he will definitely take a bad breath for you."

Yu Zhengnan's terrifying momentum was surging, and he was domineering.

Bao Li felt the strong father's love, and suddenly the sorrow in her heart disappeared, and happily grabbed her father's arm and said coquettishly: "I know that my father loves me the most." ”

"I don't care, who do you hurt? Do you hurt the two white-eyed wolves of your eldest brother and third brother? ”

Yu Zhengnan said lovingly, but when he thought of the two sons who made him feel cold, he suddenly became angry.

Bao Li waved her little pink fist and said menacingly: "Hmph, they dare to be angry with you, look at how your precious girl turns around and cleans them up." ”

Yu Zhengnan laughed, and the depression in his heart was suddenly swept away.

Sure enough, the daughter is the intimate little padded jacket.

Those two sons, hey, forget it, let's just pretend that they never gave birth.

"Dad, when you sent troops on an expedition to the grassland in a fit of rage, you didn't just avenge your master, right?"

Bao Li continued to ask.

"Of course not, as the commander of the border army, how can my father abolish his personal interests because of his official duties, your master was killed, although I am sad and angry, but I am not so carried away by anger, for my own personal vendetta, and disregard the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him."

Yu Zhengnan said with a serious face.

"Then why did you send troops to the grasslands?"

Bao Li was puzzled to get to the bottom of it.

A complicated color flashed in Yu Zhengnan's eyes: "The reason is very complicated, and the internal situation is far from being as simple as what outsiders see, I was reluctant to say it before, because you are still young and don't know the severity, once it spreads, it will cause great trouble." ”

"Now that my daughter has grown up, she will definitely be able to control her mouth, Dad, just tell me."

Bao Li pleaded with curiosity on her face.

"Okay, but the fish is ready, let's talk while we eat."

Yu Zhengnan lives in a small fishing village, his heart is depressed, and there is no one to talk to, and he wants to vomit at the moment.

On top of that, my daughter has grown up, and it's time to tell her something.

After all, he didn't want his daughter to see the situation clearly and be taken advantage of.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, Dad's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

Bao Li tasted a bite of steamed sea bass and praised it very much.

"This is a cooking skill that Dad spent ten years honing, can it not be delicious?"

Yu Zhengnan said a little smugly.

Bao Li's eyes darkened, and she said emotionally: "Dad, I've worked hard for you all these years." ”

"Hard? What's the hard work, in the first half of Dad's career, he only had the righteousness of the country in his heart, and he had never accompanied his family, and he was able to cook for you for ten years, which can be regarded as Dad compensating you for you. ”

Yu Zhengnan said very indifferently.

"Dad, don't say it, I know that you are aggrieved and humiliated in the Bao family, but in my heart, you are the best father in the world."

Bao Li understood the grievances and depression in her father's heart, and complained for him: "Mom too, you are her husband, but she stands with the family, yelling at you all day long, and doesn't treat you as a human ...... at all."

"Okay, Qing'er, you can't just look at the surface of things, your mother is also helpless."

Yu Zhengnan interrupted her words and said earnestly: "Think about it, how many people will suffer from the secret jealousy and dissatisfaction of the Bao family as a woman? ”

"The Bao family was able to promise me to be with your mother, didn't they still value my development potential, so they invested heavily in me, and the resources were also strongly tilted towards me, twelve years ago, my father was only in his thirties, and he became the commander of the border army, as long as he followed the plan of the Bao family, he went down step by step, and it was not impossible for the first person to enter the military......"

As Yu Zhengnan narrated, Bao Li realized how complicated things were.

At the beginning, the Bao family was very dissatisfied with the marriage between Yu Zhengnan and Bao Li's mother Bao Anting.

But Yu Zhengnan was not only one of the best graduates of the Qingzhou Martial Arts Academy at that time, but also a rising star in the Qingzhou border army.

It is precisely because he has this layer of identity.

The patriarch of the Bao family, that is, Bao Anting's grandfather, Bao Guowei, the old fox, was able to support the marriage of the two of them.

But the condition put forward is that he must join the Bao family and become the son-in-law of the Bao family.

At that time, Yu Zhengnan and Bao Anting loved each other and came back to life, plus his parents died when he was a child, and there were two older brothers in the family who inherited the incense, so he agreed to it.

But it wasn't until after they got married that Bao Guowei had a secret conversation with him that he learned why the old man would agree to their marriage.

The Seven Great Families contributed money and efforts to support the rebel army to overthrow the feudal dynasty and establish the new regime of Great Xia.

They also enjoyed the dividends of their initial investment and became the seven major valves that control the economic lifeline of Daxia.

But people have no long-term worries, and they must have near-term worries.

Bao Guowei had the courage to invest in the rebel army desperately, which is enough to see his foresight.

Similarly, after the Bao family's power became more and more powerful, the old man felt a strong sense of unease.

Will the state really allow them to sit on the merit book and enjoy the dividends forever?

The answer is obviously - no.
