Break Up, Next - Chapter 74
A good birthday banquet, and it broke up.
After Mr. Li took Uncle Tang upstairs, the living room was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere shrouded in sadness did not dissipate for a long time.
Li Dai invited Tang’s elders to sit down on the sofa. Considering that they hadn’t eaten yet and were in a bad mood, he asked the housekeeper to order the kitchen to cook some porridge.
The elders really didn’t want to eat at this time. The housekeeper brought porridge, but they all ate some with porridge bowls.
Li Dai is a careful person. Although he is not clear about the elders, he will try his best to take care of all the elders. When the elders in the living room were drinking porridge, Li Dai and Li Chao said, carrying a bowl of porridge by themselves, and went upstairs to see their mother.
Li Zhao nodded and sat on the armrest of the sofa with Liu An in his arms, his face still gloomy.
The elder brother doesn’t know about the elders, but he does.
A few years ago, my father would go out every week. Li Chao noticed that every time his father went to the same place, it was the Tang family’s sanatorium.
During that time, my mother would be unhappy because my father often went out, so Li Chao secretly followed him to see it. He saw that in a small independent courtyard of the sanatorium, his father looked gentle, took care of a man with pampering eyes, and played with that man all day without getting tired.
Li Chao was short-tempered, thinking that his father was carrying his mother outside to raise a man, and when his father came back that day, he went to him to ask.
On that day, he learned about the tragedy 25 years ago that the Tang Li family kept silent about.
After that day, he understood why the Tang Li family had been good friends from generation to generation. The relationship between his father and Uncle Tang was like brothers, and he grew up with the Tang family brothers and sisters, but the Tang family never I never gave my mother a good look. The father and mother have treated each other as guests for many years, but the relationship is only like this. They are not as affectionate as the uncle and aunt of the Tang family, and they are not like a couple at all.
The elders of the Tang family sat silently on the sofa drinking porridge, probably waiting for Master Li to come down.
Su Fu also lost her appetite by this atmosphere. She only took a spoon to gently stir the porridge in the bowl, but didn’t take a few bites.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Li family came in again, walked up to Tang Sibai, and said, “Master Bai, Mr. Zhuo is here, in the banquet hall.”
Tang Sibai put down the porridge bowl in his hand and stood up with Su Fu.
Su Fu was unclear, so I heard him talk to Tang’s father and mother, took the porridge bowl in his hand, and left with himself.
“What’s the matter? Who is here?” Su Fu asked as he walked.
Tang Sibai looked at him and said, “Internationally famous fashion designer, the Chinese New Year is about to come, please invite him to design New Year’s clothes.”
Su Fu is surprised, the Tang family is so particular about it? It’s just a New Year’s Eve, just buy new clothes and wear them, why do you need to customize them? Or an internationally renowned fashion designer?
Tang Sibai didn’t explain much, he didn’t wait for Zhuo Jian, thinking he wouldn’t come, but he didn’t expect this time to come.
There is no one in the banquet hall at the moment, Tang Siming is taking two little guys to look around, looking for something delicious for them, roll roll holding a big lobster in one hand, one He only held a big crab in his hand, no one would dismantle it for him, he could only lick it, followed behind Tang Siming’s butt, and tiptoed to look at the food on the table.
Tang Luoke had two little hands behind his back, and he didn’t take anything, and followed Tang Siming, but his face was not very good-looking, and his face was impatient.
“Aunt, what are you looking for?!”
“It’s cold, you guys have to eat warmer. I saw a few pots of soup in there just now, why are they gone?”
“Xiaojuan is hungry, can you get him something to eat first! When will you find it!”
Tang Siming turned her head, looked at the two children, and said, “Aren’t the rolls eating!”
“What to eat? Such a big shrimp and crab, if you don’t help him peel it, will he eat the shell?”
Curriculum stretched out her tongue and licked the crab shells, looked at them, and said nothing.
Tang Siming blinked her eyes and realized that it was really hard for a child to peel such a big shrimp and crab, and the rolls seemed to be unable to peel…
Su Fu and Tang Sibai just saw this scene when they came in.
Tang Sibai helped his forehead helplessly and made a mistake, how could he let Tang Siming bring the child…
Su Fu didn’t care, smiled, walked over, and said, “I’ll come.”
When he saw his little dad, he rushed over and showed him the shrimp and crab in his hand, saying, “Little dad, this is delicious, I have been licking it for a long time. “
Su Fu squeezed his face with a smile, “Dad will peel it for you.”
Tang Siming was embarrassed and blamed herself when she heard the words of the roll, and let a child who was just over three years old lick the crab shell for a long time…
Su Fu brought two chairs and placed them by the long table, hugged Kuiju and Tang Luoke and sat on them, picked out some hot food for them, and put them on a plate on the table for them Eat, while they peel shrimp and crab for them.
Watching the two children happily eating, at this moment, Tang Siming felt ashamed, and silently moved two chairs, one for Su Fu and one for herself, Also sit down and eat with them.
Tang Sibai looked at them, smiled helplessly, shook his head, and walked to the fake balcony outside.
There are two people on the fake balcony at this time, one is Zhuo Jian who has just arrived, and the other is Duan Qiqian who has not left yet. The two seem to know each other and are talking.
Tang Sibai walked over and nodded to the two of them.
“Mr. Zhuo was late, I thought you weren’t coming.”
Zhuo Jian smiled, shook the wine glass she just took, and said, “Sorry, my family Xiaoer is not feeling well. If you go out late, you will be late.”
Tang Sibo knew that Zhuo Jian had a lover, even though he called him so sweet, in fact that was a cold director.
“It should be, it’s my honor to have Zhuo always come.”
Duan Qiqian was impatient with their greetings and asked, “Where’s your brother?”
Tang Sibai glanced at him and smiled: “There are some things at home, Mr. Duan may have to wait until tomorrow to discuss cooperation.”
Duan Qiqian nodded and left.
“I remember that the young master Tang is also a facial paralysis, they two talk about cooperation?” Zhuo Jian asked jokingly.
Tang Sibai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Very interesting picture.”
Zhuo Jian tacitly understood and laughed, turned to look into the banquet hall, and asked, “That one?”
“Well, do you need to meet?” Tang Sibai also looked there, Su Fu was peeling the lobster while talking to the children, so gentle that he couldn’t help but feel the tenderness in his heart.
“Since you don’t want him to know, you don’t need it. I mainly come to see the temperament to facilitate my design.”
“What about the size? Can you tell it at a glance like my housekeeper?”
With teasing, he deliberately added the words “measure by hand”.
Tang Sibai naturally understood what he meant, smiled, and said, “Okay, I’ll send you the size later.”
Zhuo Jian nodded and put the wine glass on the round table on the false balcony.
“Then my task is completed, I will go back to take care of my wife.”
Tang Sibai knew that he cared about the patient at home, so he didn’t stay any longer, and sent him out with a smile.
When passing the banquet hall, Zhuo Jian turned her head and glanced at Su Fu again, and said to Tang Sibai, “She looks very gentle, very married, right? How did you do it?”
Tang Sibai chuckled, “It’s your personality.”
“Very good, good luck, if my Xiaoer has that half of tenderness, I can wake up laughing in my dreams.” Zhuo Jian said with a smile, and waved to Tang Sibai, indicating that there is no need to give it away .
Although Su Fu was taking care of the children to eat, she also paid a little attention to the place. Seeing the guests leave, Tang Sibai came over and asked in surprise, “It’s over so soon?”
“My lover is uncomfortable, so I’ll keep it short.”
Su Fu nodded clearly, a lover is more important, it can be seen that being able to go for a trip has already given Tang Sibai a lot of face.
“You didn’t eat anything, I’ll come.” Tang Sibai took the wet wipes, wiped his hands for Su Fu, and picked some delicious food for him to eat, and took his place. The work of peeling the shells for the children.
Su Fu went to move another chair for him to sit on. Tang Sibai peeled shrimps and crabs for a while, and took turns delivering food on large and small plates. Su Fu knew that he had nothing to eat, so he fed him from time to time, and the family of four was happy.
The corner of Tang Siming’s mouth twitched and twitched, she still remembered that not long ago, she was the second brother’s beloved sister, the second brother could think of her everything, but now, she is with her A third person… No, the fifth person is the same, awkwardly inserted into their family of four, embarrassed and lonely.
Tang Siming didn’t want to get his hands dirty, it was troublesome, and there was no second brother to feed him, so he had to eat some food without shells by himself.
“Aunt Li is all right? Someone broke in? Has it been resolved?” Tang Siming interjected, unwilling to be lonely.
Tang Siming, like many juniors from the Tang Li family, didn’t know about Uncle Tang, and really thought that the Li family broke into someone.
Tang Sibai peeled a lobster, frowned, and didn’t tell her, just said lightly: “It’s all right, it’s just that this birthday banquet ended too soon, Mom didn’t have time to take you. Meet those young masters.”
When Tang Siming heard this, her heart froze, she shut up and stopped talking.
“Si Ning is still so young, will my aunt give her a blind date?” Su Fu forked a piece of thornless fish and fed it into Tang Sibai’s mouth.
Tang Siming wrapped a piece of meat in his mouth and said excitedly: “Yes, yes! Second sister-in-law really understands! I’m still so young! What’s the hurry!”
Tang Sibai sneered, glanced at his sister, and said to Su Fu: “Look at her like that, if Mom doesn’t care, how can she marry.”
Su Fu was called “Second Sister-in-law” by Tang Siming and got goosebumps all over, and when she saw Tang Siming’s dissatisfied face, she smiled and said: “Now carefree girls are very popular, refreshing Not pretentious, it’s fine.”
“That’s right, second sister-in-law, you understand it too well, you always tell my mother, let me be a lady all day long, don’t I just do a little, what can I do, a heroic woman A little bit can take over the world!”
Su Fu laughed at what she said, Tang Sibai thought his sister was ashamed, glanced at her and ignored him.
After a few people filled their stomachs, they went to the living room of the main house to see when the elders were going to leave.
At this time, the elders in the living room were gone, only Li Chao was sitting on the sofa with Liu An in his arms, and Big Brother Tang got up and was about to leave.
“Parents and aunts are staying tonight, let’s go back first.” Brother Tang said, and went out first.
Tang Sibai glanced at Li Chao, Li Chao waved his hand, Tang Sibai nodded, and took Su Fu and the others home.
Tang Siming got into Big Brother Tang’s car, and Tang Sibai drove behind Big Brother Tang’s car with his two children.
Su Fu saw that the two children in the back seat were asleep, so Tang Sibai stopped the car, took the blanket from the trunk, and covered the two children before continuing to drive.
“Li Chao is in a very bad mood today, are you alright?” Su Fu asked in a low voice.
Tang Sibai shook his head and said, “It’s okay, Liu An and Li Dai are both here, any one of them can suppress his anger.”
Su Fu thought about it too, and asked: “Li Chao and Mrs. Li don’t seem to have a good relationship? Is it because of Liu An’s relationship?”
“There is a certain relationship, but there are other reasons.” Tang Sibai looked at Su Fu and said slowly: “He knows what happened 25 years ago, it was my uncle and In the case of Uncle Li, their tragedy was actually caused by Aunt Li, and Aunt Li didn’t learn her lesson and hindered him and Liu An, so the relationship between mother and son has deteriorated sharply in recent years.”
Su Fu was a little surprised, but he felt it was reasonable. When Uncle Tang saw Mrs. Li, his emotions broke down, which showed that there was a hidden feeling.
“Uncle Li Chao’s death is related to Madam Li?”
Tang Sibai thought for a while, then frowned: “I don’t know if it’s indirect or direct, I told you before that Aunt Li is the daughter of Grandpa Li’s old lover. The Li family has come to raise her, and Mrs. Li has always wanted her to marry his son.”
Su Fu nodded, Tang Sibai said in the morning.
“Aunt Li has been living with the two uncles of the Li family since she was 15 years old. It can be said that it has been a love affair over time, but what Aunt Li wants to marry is not Uncle Li, but Uncle Li, she is very early She fell in love with Uncle Li, and when she was 20 years old, she told Grandpa Li that she wanted to marry Uncle Li, and Grandpa Li also agreed, but Uncle Li firmly opposed it.”
Su Fu asked: “Because of Uncle Tang?”
Tang Sibai nodded and continued: “My uncle is an old man. At that time, he was only 14 years old, ten years younger than Uncle Li. He is a very intelligent person. At a young age, he was already famous in the upper circles. At that time, he was the pride of the Tang family. All the elders of the Tang family loved him very much. However, at that time, he and Uncle Li already liked each other. It can be said that it was a private decision for life.”
“Homosexuality was more difficult in those days than it is now?” Su Fu frowned slightly, the pride of the Tang family, but now it has become like this, how sad.
“Yeah, so they didn’t say anything, they just stayed together secretly.” Tang Sibai sighed, and added: “They probably want to wait until the uncle grows up a bit before asking for help. The parents agreed. They didn’t expect the change to come so quickly. Aunt Li wanted to marry Uncle Li, but they didn’t expect it. Uncle Li always regarded her as a younger sister. Uncle Li firmly opposed to marrying Aunt Li. Aunt Li was due to family changes. , I feel a little extreme low self-esteem in my heart, I have a strong self-esteem, I feel that I have been hurt, and after a stalemate for a while, I turned to marry Uncle Li.”
Su Fu was taken aback and asked, “Is there really no relationship between Uncle Li and Aunt Li?”
“It’s just a brother-sister relationship, but at that time, Uncle Li didn’t want his sister to be hurt twice, so he agreed. The two soon got married and had children. Uncle Li and Uncle Li both I thought it was over like this, but I didn’t expect that Aunt Li was actually unwilling and kept monitoring Uncle Li, and later she found out about them and told the elders of Tang Li’s family directly.”
Su Fu recalled that Mrs. Li said several times today that homosexuality should not die. It turned out that the seeds of resentment had been planted so many years ago.
“The elders stopped it?”
“Uncle and Uncle Li are the pride of the two families. Although the elders were angry, they didn’t punish them. They just separated them from each other and banned them from seeing each other. Years, but at that time my father and Uncle Li gradually accepted the relationship between Uncle Li and Uncle Li, and secretly often helped them meet secretly, and the life was not too difficult. Later, seeing that the two parents still disagreed, The two had the idea of running away.”
“Did the accident happen at that time?”
Tang Sibai nodded and said, “The elders disagree, but the brothers, because they love and respect Uncle Li, have been making suggestions for them. When Uncle was 18 years old, it was finally arranged. Everything, let them elope to go abroad together, but this secret was discovered by Aunt Li. In those years, Aunt Li, relying on the favor of Mrs. Li, often instilled the idea of homosexuality to her elders. She was the core of opposition to Uncle Li and Uncle Li. Character. Her love has always been Uncle Li, and she pays close attention to everything about him, and she also learned about the elopement that day.”
Speaking of this, Tang Sibai shook his head, feeling that it was a pity and a pity.
At that point, they encountered a car accident, and they didn’t have time to dodge, causing lifelong regrets. When the incident happened, Uncle Li only had time to protect his uncle, and he died on the spot, and the uncle also became a vegetable. A few years ago I just woke up, but I’m already unconscious, and I’ve been crazy for so many years.”
Su Fu was taken aback by surprise. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li caused the tragedy of Uncle Tang.
“Mrs. Li did this, both parents lost their favorite children, so don’t they hate her?”
“Our family naturally hates her very much. For so many years, despite our friendship with the Li family, we don’t have much contact with Mrs. Li. And the Li family, Mrs. Li is obsessed with ghosts. I had already lost an eldest son, and I was reluctant to lose the daughter of my old lover. Besides, Mrs. Li had already given birth to two grandchildren for the Li family at that time. Mrs. Li was reluctant to touch her and begged our family to spare her life. Until Mrs. Li Before his death, he also instructed Uncle Li to treat Aunt Li well and not allow anyone to hurt her, so Aunt Li has been fine so far, but she is not liked.”
Su Fu sighed endlessly, Mr. Li was really fascinated.
“Now that Uncle Tang has mistaken Master Li for Master Li, will Aunt Li go crazy?”
“My uncle has been insane since he woke up, until Uncle Li visited him once, he suddenly became quiet and said that Uncle Li was his eldest brother Li. For so long, Uncle Li was the first The second quiet down, Uncle Li used to love Uncle Li very much, and because Aunt Li made Uncle become like this, he was very apologetic, so in order to make Uncle happier, Uncle Li has been playing the role of Uncle Li, and he goes there every week. Look at Uncle, let him live in his dream, at least be happier.”
Su Fu felt very uncomfortable hearing this, turned her head and looked out the window, thinking that Mrs. Li smashed Liu An with a vase today, she was a little worried about Liu An.
“Because of her own fault, she killed the person she loves the most. Why didn’t Mrs. Li reflect on it, and did she want to make the same mistake again?”
Tang Sibo sneered and said, “She doesn’t think she is wrong, she still thinks that Uncle Li’s death was caused by my uncle, and it was my uncle who let him go. The way of homosexuality, so she has always hated my uncle. Maybe she used this hatred to cover up her guilt. She was obsessed, and now she started to deal with Liu An again, so the relationship between Li Chao and her became more and more rigid. “
After hearing this story, Su Fu felt a little depressed, felt sorry for Uncle Tang, and felt sad for Mrs. Li’s obsession.
He thought, Madam Li lost her life because of her resentment, and the relationship that so many people opposed finally ended forever, but what did everyone get in the end? And who can compensate for the happiness that Tang Xiaoshu should have?
“Aunt Li is guilty. In fact, the elders of the two families also indirectly contributed to the tragedy. They are very clear in their hearts.”
Su Fu thought about it, yes, if it wasn’t for the firm opposition of the elders, he wouldn’t have gotten to that point.
Thinking like this, Su Fu turned to look at Tang Sibai, and reached out to hold his hand holding the steering wheel.
Tang Sibai grabbed his hand with his backhand, put it on his lap, intertwined his fingers, and said softly, “It’s all over, we’ll be fine.”
Su Fu also tightened his hand and smiled.
They will be fine, because the times are different, the society is more tolerant, and the elders of the Tang family are also different.
