Chapter 97

When the quarrel downstairs was so intense, Liang Zhen was sleeping upstairs.But it was so noisy, how could he not wake up?

So he woke up when the noise was halfway downstairs.

He was not too frightened, he just climbed out of bed, opened the door, and followed the sound to sneak out.

He stood on the stairs and watched the people below crying and making a fuss.

He quickly found his mother's position, looked at his mother carefully, and saw that his mother stood straight, as if she was smugly scolding people as usual. The tension and worry in his heart disappeared immediately, and then he found a place with the best view on the stairs and sat down to watch the development of the situation below.

When the old woman suddenly rushed towards his mother, he stood up "swished", and luckily he didn't fall down the stairs directly.

Fortunately, he saw an aunt dragging the old woman away.

Student Liang Zhen held the railing and breathed a sigh of relief, steadied his heartbeat, and sat down to continue watching.

When the people below dispersed, he didn't go down either.

After everyone below left, the Lin family finally quieted down.

Lin Shu glanced at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, then turned to her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, you go take a rest, I'll clean up here." She looked at her son who was sitting on the stairs and looked at this side, and said to Fengfeng, "Go and comfort your nephew." But at this moment, Liang Zhen came downstairs "squeezing and squeezing", ignoring his uncle, bypassed the broken porcelain pieces and rushed directly to his mother. When he rushed to his mother, he hugged his mother's legs and said, "Mom, did you scold them away?" His eyes were full of stars. Lin Shu: ... "Mom, you are talking about reason." "What reason? I want to listen." Although he always pretends to be mature, he is actually still at an age where he is curious about everything. "I tell you, I am more vivid and interesting than your mother." Fengfeng interrupted. Liang Zhen looked at him suspiciously, then at his mother. Lin Shu patted him and said, "Go ahead, let your uncle tell you, and your mother will give you more information in the evening."

Then Liang Zhen was dragged away by his uncle rather reluctantly.

When there was no one else in the living room, Li Huiru looked at her husband with a livid and stiff face, sighed in her heart, and said, "Zhaotong, let's go to your study and talk."

Lin Zhaotong's study.

Li Huiru slowly made a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her husband who was always gloomy and silent. She walked to the window and looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scenery downstairs for a moment before she said, "This matter was my idea from beginning to end. Don't take your anger out on the child."

All the things that happened today, the means to deal with the great-grandfather Lin and the old Lin family, including Yu Weize, and the confession signed by the Lin family, etc., all of which Lin Zhaotong didn't know before.

Lin Zhaotong looked up at her and said in a deep voice: "Now you don't trust me to this extent. Not only did you hide it from me beforehand, but you also hid it from me afterwards. In your eyes, am I someone who doesn't know right from wrong to this extent?"

Li Huiru was silent.

After a while, she whispered: "Zhaotong, you know in your heart that it's not that you don't know right from wrong, but if you knew about this matter beforehand, the result would definitely not be like this."

If he knew in advance that the Lin family had hired the Red Guards to smash the Song family and surround Fengfeng, he would be angry.

But when the Lin family came to the door, he would definitely refute them at the beginning, and then the Lin family would definitely not have the previous performance, and would definitely admit their mistakes. In the end, they would cover up with a fig leaf with the words that Lin Meilan said. The husband would be cold to them for a while, but he would never tear everything apart and cut off everything like now.

"Zhaotong, this is what we owe Shushu," Li Huiru whispered, "We should give her such a closure, otherwise, we will hurt that child's heart." Lin Zhaotong was silent for a while, and the lividity on his face finally slowly eased. He said, "Tell me, who investigated these things? You are not such a person, and we have only been back for a few days. How can you find that Yu Weize, let him tell the truth of the year, and make arrangements with the Song family, and make such a confession? The Song family is just engaged in technology, and they probably don't have such means and ability." Li Huiru smiled bitterly. Yes. It was obvious that this matter was not something she could do. "It was Deputy Head Liang." Although he was their son-in-law, they would call him "Jinxi" in front of him, but in fact they were not that familiar with each other. They were still used to calling him "Deputy Head Liang" behind his back. She saw that her husband had no surprise at all, and said, "Zhao Tong, I know that you value affection and value the people of the old Lin family, so in the past few years, for your sake, no matter what kind of character they have, I have tolerated them and treated them well."

"Also, I also know that I insisted on raising Shushu back then, and you have always been indifferent to raising this child. You are not without feelings for her. After all, you have raised her for more than ten years, and cats and dogs will have feelings, not to mention such a sensible child. But deep down, you still value blood ties more, and you value your own blood more. What's more, you have been very busy and have very limited time to spend with children. So,"

Speaking of this, Li Huiru felt bitter and said, "So you are not unaware of the contempt of Shushu by your old Lin family over the past few years, but you chose to ignore it. You allowed them to send their children to live in our house. You are also not unaware of the malice of those children who were sent to Shushu. Even if you didn't know it once, I asked you to send them away twice and three times., how could you not know?"

"What's more, those people have been telling me not to raise Shushu, and that we should just send her back home and raise her casually. Even if we want to adopt her, we should adopt a blood-related nephew. They can keep persuading me, and I'm sure they will say the same thing to you."

"Maybe you are too busy to take care of these, or maybe you think that not agreeing to them is an attitude, after all, these are family affairs, and I can just mediate... But don't you understand that this attitude is actually a kind of indulgence? Indulge them to keep hurting Shushu. In the final analysis, it's because you don't value her enough and don't treat her as your own daughter. "

She used to think he was too busy.

He was in the army, so he spent very little time at home. He was always strict, and even when he was at home occasionally, he rarely spent time with his daughter.

And she had always been in charge of the household affairs.

But now think about it, the so-called busyness was just an excuse.

How much time does it take to express a stern attitude?

In the final analysis, it was still not taken seriously enough.

Lin Zhaotong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

He was not the type who liked to explain.

Li Huiru looked at him, then shook her head and said, "I know you are very busy. You went out early and came back late in those years, and sometimes you couldn't go home for ten days or half a month... But isn't Deputy Commander Liang busy in the army?"

"It was not Shushu who asked him to investigate those things back then. He was the one who had been investigating the Zhou family and the people who surrounded Fengfeng that year. That's why he caught Yu Weize, and he also used means to make Yu Weize tell the truth. He was not ambiguous at all and would not let go of anyone who tried to hurt Shushu. "

"But Zhao Tong, you heard about what your Lin family did to Shu Shu in collusion with the Zhou family. Have you ever thought about how to deal with your Lin family? You may have a little resentment and be a little cold to them, but if they come to you, you will probably continue to take care of them."

"Even, do you still think Shu Shu is going too far step by step? A little cold?"

"Li Huiru felt unbearable pain in her heart when she said this.

She suddenly understood why her daughter accepted Liang Jinxi in such a short time.

Because he gave her what she had always lacked.

She whispered: "Zhao Tong, ask yourself, if your biological daughter, the daughter you really love in your heart, someone wants to sell her for a little benefit after you are demoted, and abuse her, can you really be so indifferent? At least I believe that Deputy Head Liang will not, I believe he will not allow anyone to hurt Shu Shu or their children. "

Lin Zhaotong's face darkened again.

Li Huiru smiled bitterly and said, "Zhaotong, I'm not saying you're bad... You've always been good to me."

"When I couldn't have children, your family kept encouraging you to change your wife. You taught them a lesson, and they never dared to mention it again. But why did they ask you to adopt a child from the Lin family, but you never refused? I'm afraid that in your heart, you have this idea, but you didn't agree because of me, because I don't like it. Shushu was also raised because I insisted on raising her, and you agreed to make me happy... Zhaotong, you are good to me, I know it, but you owe Shushu."

"I didn't say it before because I think feelings can't be forced, and the relationship between father and daughter is the same. I love her, I can treat her well, but I can't force you to love her like a real biological daughter... Besides, you have never been bad to her. It's just that,"

"It's just that this time it's different. Zhao Tong, when you got into trouble, she was less than 18 years old, but even though she was less than 18 years old, she took great pains to carefully protect Fengfeng and taught him so well... Otherwise, have you ever thought about what would happen to Fengfeng if he fell into the hands of the Lin family, when he was only nine years old five years ago with such a stubborn temper? "

"The reason why Shushu offended the Lin family this time and made them so resentful is that she refused to let her sell her to them at a good price, and she directly confronted them, wasn't it for Fengfeng? You have not personally taken action to protect our children and vent your anger for our children. If you not only fail to do it yourself, but also ignore her feelings and continue to condone those people in the Lin family who murdered her... Zhao Tong, you will make that child completely alienated from you, and even Fengfeng will resent you. "

"She shook her head, then let out a long breath, and said, "You take a rest, I'll go out to see the children. "

She turned and walked out after she finished speaking.

After saying this, she felt as if she had ripped out an old knot in her heart. Although it hurt, she also felt relieved.

No matter what, what should be said should be said.

She could not tolerate him continuing to treat those who hurt her child with his "tolerance" and "kindness".

This is what they owed to the child.
