Chapter 98
"That is to say, at that time, mom and uncle's parents were not at home, and this group of bad guys found a bunch of people to beat uncle, and then came out to rescue uncle, saying that only they could protect uncle, and took uncle away?"
In Fengfeng's room, Zhenzhen summarized his uncle's story.
Fengfeng nodded and said, "Yes!"
He appreciated his nephew's language ability and logical ability.
"Then grandma lied to them and said she would send you back to your parents.home, and then give money to your hometown to raise you, and they will happily let your mother take you away and go back to your hometown to wait?"
Zhenzhen continued to summarize.
"Not really,"
Fengfeng said, "They have someone to follow your mother and uncle."
"What's the use?"
After Liang Zhen finished summarizing the whole story, he finally began to express his own opinion.
He laughed "hahaha", "They are so stupid, they let the rabbit they were about to kill go, and they still expect the rabbit to run back for them to eat? When my mother told me the story of the rabbit and the crocodile, I didn't believe there was such a stupid crocodile, but it turns out there really is one! Hahaha! "
The story his mother told him was that the crocodile wanted to eat the rabbit's heart, so it tricked the rabbit into the river and caught it. The rabbit knew that the crocodile wanted to cut open its stomach and take out its heart, so it lied to the crocodile and said, "I forgot my heart at home, I'll go home and give it to you", and then the crocodile let it go.
When the rabbit reached a safe distance, it turned back and laughed at the crocodile, saying, "Stupid, of course my heart is in my stomach, you've been fooled."
Then it jumped back to the forest and never went to the river to play again.
Uncle Lin Youfeng: …
He is not a "rabbit ready to be slaughtered"!
Why does he know such words when he is only three years old and a few months old?!
"Uncle, how can they be so stupid? Hahahaha, they are all bad people, why do they need to be hypocritical? Why don't they just pinch your neck and threaten my mother? Hahahaha. "
Lin Youfeng: ...
Just when Lin Youfeng's uncle was trying to explain to Liang Zhen in the room why there were such stupid people, Lin Shu was still in the living room.
She swept the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and washed the cup that the great-uncle of the Lin family, no, the old man Lin, had used before... She didn't recognize this great-uncle.
After doing all this, she made herself a cup of tea and shook the tea gently with her hand. After shaking it for an unknown amount of time, her mother came out of her father's study.
She went to meet her and called out "Ama".
When Li Huiru came out, her eyes were still red. When she saw her daughter, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and smiled, "Why don't you take a rest for a while?"
To be honest, facing the crying and noisy family of the Lin family, even if everything was prepared, it was exhausting and annoying.
Lin Shu shook her head and said, "Mom, is Dad still angry? "
Li Huiru snorted and said, "If you want to be angry, just let him have his child. If he hadn't indulged them so that they didn't know who they were, how could they have dared to do those things to you and Fengfeng? After doing those things, how could they dare to come to your house and pour a basin of dirty water on you so righteously?"
She just relied on her husband's attention to them.
She felt that in her husband's heart, they were more important than his daughter.
"These are two different things,"
Lin Shu smiled bitterly.
She exhaled lightly and said, "Mom, what Dad did to that family is his business, but I kept it from him and induced the matter to develop to this point, which is another matter. "
She had made all the preparations behind the scenes.
She had calculated what the Lin family would say when they came, and led them to show their most shameless faces, which would eventually offend her father and he would no longer tolerate them.
She actually took her father's personality and reaction into account.
She smiled and said, "Mom, I'll go see Dad and apologize to him."
"Shushu."
Li Huiru felt very distressed when she saw her daughter's smile.
She has always been so sensible.
But if she was really a daughter who was spoiled since childhood, how could she be so "sensible" to her father?
She would not act like a spoiled child to her father if she was harmed by others.
She was forced to defend herself from her father and was afraid that her counterattack would make her father angry.
She reached out and stroked her hair lovingly, saying, "Shushu, you are not wrong. It's your father and those people who are wrong. "
"Well,"
Lin Shu hugged her mother and said, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm not a little girl anymore, I'll go see Dad."
Li Huiru watched her enter her husband's study.
Her eyes were sore.
Yes, she was no longer a little girl.
In fact, it's unfair to say that her husband has no father-daughter love for his daughter.
At least not when she was a child.
When she needed protection and security the most, he didn't give her a safe harbor.
Even if we reconcile now, we can't undo the damage of the past.
Study.
Lin Shu knocked on the door and went in.
Lin Zhaotong looked at his daughter.
Lin Shu restrained his expression and said, "Dad, I arranged everything today. Don't blame Mom. She just returned to Xizhou City like you and doesn't know anything."
"You mother and daughter are of one mind. "
Lin Zhaotong twitched his lips, then looked at her with an indiscernible emotion, and said, "Make this scene and cut off all their escape routes, Shushu, do you hate them so much?"
"Yes,"
Although Lin Zhaotong stood there with a heavy aura, Lin Shu was not afraid at all.
She was no longer as timid as she was when she was young.
She was no longer afraid that if she did not do well, he would really decide to send her to the wolf's den of the old Lin family.
...Yes, the old Lin family was a wolf's den for her, and everyone looked at her with a malicious and deep wolf light in their eyes.
That's how she felt when she was young.
She was no longer afraid.
And now, she also has the courage to face her father and speak out all her feelings..
She looked at him and said, "Yes, Dad, I hate them, very, very much."
"I hate them for joining forces with the Zhou family to force me into a corner, so that I could only take risks and publicly recognize a person I had never met and whose character I didn't know as my partner. I hate them for gathering the Red Guards to surround Fengfeng, making me frightened and afraid that Fengfeng would be hurt, and even... I still hate them for saying in front of others and behind my back when I was a child that I didn't know who had sex with someone and I was a bastard, and I looked like a vixen, and I was born to seduce people. I was a bastard in my bones, and I would never be able to raise her. I hate them for constantly saying in front of grandpa, grandma, mother, and you, dad, that it would be better to adopt a nephew or niece instead of raising a useless girl like me, who is also the blood of the old Lin family."
"I also hate them for constantly saying that if I didn't marry Zhou Chengzhi, and help you, dad, to get Fengfeng good conditions, I would be ungrateful and unworthy of your kindness to me for more than ten years..."
She said this with a smile.
But tears rolled down.
No one knew that when she rejected Zhou Chengzhi and went to the countryside, she was actually under great psychological pressure.
If it was because she did not marry Zhou Chengzhi, her father was hurt, Fengfeng was hurt, she might never be able to forgive herself.
Without her mother's support, she didn't know if she could be justified.
...But she still cared about it.
She agreed to Liang Jinxi so quickly and agreed to follow him to the military region.
In fact, this may be the reason.
The expression on Lin Zhaotong's face finally collapsed.
...He knew that he neglected his daughter, but he did not know that she had suffered so much.
Or, if she hadn't said it herself, he didn't know that the hurt could be so deep and sharp.
He didn't know that someone dared to say "bastard" and "bastard" behind her back. No matter how much he neglected her, she was still his adopted daughter.
She was the child his wife had always loved deeply. "I'm sorry." He felt a dull pain in his heart, and whispered, "Dad is sorry for you." Lin Shu shook her head and said, "Dad has never been sorry for me." She actually knew everything. Children are always sensitive. They can always keenly detect whether there is love in the eyes of adults. But how could he be sorry for her? She was just an abandoned baby. Without their adoption, if she fell into a bad family, such as the family of Lin's great-uncle, she would not only be well-dressed and well-fed and carefully taken care of, but also, with her appearance, she would not know what kind of experience she would encounter. Even ordinary families would probably think that it is natural to raise her, let her repay, and persuade her to marry someone in exchange for the future of other people in the family. So she has always been grateful. Very grateful. And her mother's love for her, she thinks she must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to be so lucky to have such a mother. "Shushu, in my heart, you are indeed my daughter." Looking at the daughter opposite, her previous words ringing in his ears, Lin Zhaotong felt very uncomfortable. It was very, very uncomfortable.
It was even more uncomfortable than when his wife accused him before.
Lin Shu nodded, wiped his tears, and smiled: "I know."
Maybe not at the beginning.
After all, it was her mother who insisted on adopting her. It was normal for him to be so busy and have little feelings for her.
And later, year after year, they got along for a long time, and naturally developed feelings.
She knew all this.
She let out a long breath and said: "I'm sorry, Dad, I planned everything without telling you, and I took the initiative to cut off the relationship between our family and Uncle Lin's family... But no matter whether you blame me or not, I will still do this. I apologize to you, not because I think I did something wrong, I don't regret it at all, I just apologize to you for causing you trouble."
If it's not for herself, it's for her mother and Fengfeng, she has to do this.
She doesn't want such people to come to her house to cause trouble for her mother again, and make Fengfeng so angry that she jumps up with her father.
Is there anyone who talks like this?
But Lin Zhaotong's tightly clenched heart inexplicably felt better after hearing this.
"Okay, then you don't have to apologize. By the way," He sighed and said, "I plan to arrange time to go back to my hometown... Shushu, I know you don't like them, but I still hope you can go back with me. Although your great uncle and his family have severed ties, the people in the countryside don't know about it. Haven't they spread a lot of false rumors in the countryside over the years? I will clarify this matter." What was wrong in the past has been missed. But since the decision has been made, it should be clear. He has never been a person without decision.
