Chapter 124: Is My Dad and Me Really Like?
The autumn wind in Xiayi County is a little less cold and a little more humid than that of Tiancheng.
Li Manman, who was standing in front of the tombstone, couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly, she looked at the tombstone with a calm expression, it has been many years since her grandfather died, and she would secretly return to China to sweep her grandfather's grave in the years she went abroad, even if she couldn't come back, she would ask her neighbors to help clean it.
So Old Man Li's tombstone is not dilapidated.
"Li Qingyan." Fu Yaojue gently read out the name of the old man on the tombstone.
Li Manman said with a smile: "My grandfather's name is good, I thought my grandfather's name was good when I was a child, and I begged my grandfather to change his name." ”
Her name is Manman, and her grandfather said that it was 'the beginning of the long tide, and the bustling spring solstice.' ''s long, metaphorically a good beginning.
It's a good wish to her.
Thinking that this name was given to her by Li Zhengde, Li Manman's heart swelled with sourness, how did everything become what it is today?
Is Li Zhengde changing too much, or is he by nature such a thing, but he has deceived everyone?
Why did she finally find a reason for his anomaly, and he once again broke through the lower limit of her imagination.
He doesn't love her, he hates her, she understands, she is not his biological daughter, and it may be caused by the annoyance and anger that he has been deceived for so many years.
But grandpa is his biological father, how can he sell his grandfather's house to his enemy, his own mother-killing enemy!
Li Manman couldn't accept it, standing here she didn't even dare to tell her grandfather everything, and even had a hint of happiness for a moment, fortunately her grandfather passed away early, and she didn't know the earth-shaking changes like today.
Fu Yaojue looked at her and said softly: "I think it's also very good." ”
Li Manman raised his head and smiled at him, but he smiled very reluctantly, not at all as vibrant as before, like a small flower that had been wilted by the rain.
Fu Yaojue stood here with her for a while, but there was a drizzle in the sky, and her clothes couldn't get wet, but it was very cold on her face.
Li Manman hurriedly said to Fu Xuanjue: "Let's go, let's come to see grandpa next time." ”
"Hmm." Fu Yaojue was pulled by her sleeves and left, and before leaving, she glanced deeply at the tombstone of Old Man Li, and silently promised in her heart, Grandpa, I will protect your granddaughter well and love her more than you.
The light rain lingered until they returned to the county, and the two found a hotel to stay.
After taking a shower, the two arrived at the hotel restaurant, and just took the meal and sat down to eat, Li Manman suddenly heard someone call his name.
She hurriedly looked back and saw only a middle-aged woman who was a little strange.
The woman looks a little old, with a plump figure, the clothes are not a brand but they are clean and generous, she looks outstanding, and there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, which has left traces on her body and makes her more gentle.
The middle-aged woman seemed to be relieved to see her turn around, and walked over quickly.
"You're Manman, Li Manman." The middle-aged woman asked again uncertainly.
Li Manman nodded and looked at her suspiciously, "I'm Li Manman, may I ask ...... you are?"
"It's normal that you don't know me, I'm the former second daughter-in-law of your little grandfather." The woman smiled self-deprecatingly when she spoke of her identity.
Li Man blinked his eyes and talked about this relationship in his heart.
Her grandfather was three brothers and had no sisters. Grandpa is the second child, an older brother above, and a younger brother below.
Li Zhengde got married late, and his grandfather had passed away when Li Manman was born, and he didn't seem to have any connection, but she had an impression of her little grandfather's family, but it was not a good impression.
The age difference between the little grandfather and the grandfather is more than ten years, and the personality is extremely selfish and domineering.
When she was seven or eight years old, this little grandfather came to her grandfather and said in front of her that she was a money-loser and wanted to pass on his little grandson to their family.
At that time, the Li family had already improved a little, and they were a number of rich people in Xiayi County, and the purpose of the little grandfather was self-evident.
Grandpa was so angry that he knocked people out with a broom.
After that, their family had little contact with the little grandfather's family, and as for the 'former second daughter-in-law of the little grandfather's family' in front of them, they were even less impressed.
She wondered, "How do you know me?" ”
The middle-aged woman said funny: "You and your father are carved out of the same mold, and besides, I saw you when I was a child, and you have not changed much." ”
Li Manman couldn't help but be stunned when he heard 'you and your dad carved out a mold', hasn't he changed much? Now some people still say that she and Li Zhengde are carved out of the same mold?
Obviously, she and Li Zhengde don't look alike, she is not Li Zhengde's biological daughter, how can she be alike?
The middle-aged woman didn't know Li Manman's psychological activities, she seemed to have been holding back her stomach and wanted to talk to Li Manman.
"When I gave birth to my little daughter, if it wasn't for your parents helping me, I don't know where people are now, and I haven't been able to contact you abroad all these years, so I didn't expect to meet your parents here. Did you come back alone? Where are your parents now? I would like to contact them, can you give me the contact information? ”
Fu Yaojue saw Li Manman's stunned appearance, and took over with a smile: "I am Manman's husband, this lady, you said that my father-in-law and mother-in-law helped you, can you tell me why?" ”
It's not that he's gossiping, it's just that this person suddenly came out, and he doesn't know how he can rest assured that she has more contact with Li Manman.
Only then did the middle-aged woman realize that she was in too much of a hurry, she looked at her seat and asked, "It's a long story, do you mind if I sit down?" ”
Fu Yaojue nodded, and at this time Li Manman also came back to his senses.
The woman introduced herself as Jiang Lian, who divorced the second son of Li Manman's grandfather fifteen years ago, took her two daughters abroad to work hard, and only recently returned to China.
"When I went abroad, I was still young, Li Qingcang, it's just that the little grandfather's family doesn't recruit your family to see me, and it's normal for me to not remember me."
Jiang Lian has been busy abroad all these years, and she is too busy to reminisce about the past, but now she takes this opportunity to think about it.
At that time, Li Qingcang saw that she was the only girl in the Manman family, so he used the idea of his eldest son's youngest son to pass on to the Manman family so as to possess her family's property. Their family is patriarchal from top to bottom, and they don't care if they are rejected. It may be that God can't see their family's calculations like this, and his little grandson accidentally fell into the water and died.
I was pregnant at the time, because the first child was a daughter, and I was not valued in the Li family, as soon as his youngest grandson died, the eldest grandson was reluctant to give it to others, so they all stared at my belly, counting on me to give birth to a son to pass on to their family. ”
Jiang Lian sneered when she said this, "Who would have thought that I would have given birth to a daughter earlier." Their family expects as much disappointment as they want, it is not a child, it is a tool to occupy the family property. When the tools were gone, they left me and my child in the hospital, regardless of whether our mother and daughter lived or died, and even tried to sell my eldest daughter. It was my parents who heard about it, helped me pay the medical bills, and lent me a sum of money so that I could divorce Li Zhengxi's bastard and take away my two daughters. ”
The first thing she did when she came back was to inquire about Li Qingcang's family, but she didn't expect that nine years ago, Li Qingcang's family gas leaked, and the family died.
Jiang Lian didn't know whether she was more stunned or relieved.
This is retribution.
Li Manman didn't care about the little grandfather at all, she asked directly: "Is my dad and I really similar?" ”
