Rebirth: Perfect Rural Life - Chapter 265
When Li Zhaoyan heard Li Yulian’s words, she turned her head. Her face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The expression on her face was so cold that she could almost drip water. Li Yulian looked at him with deep brown eyes, as sharp as a lion and a tiger. Her heart was cold and didn’t say anything more.
Seeing Li Zhaoyan disappear at the door, Li Yulian finally couldn’t help crying. Li Pingchuan pulled her sleeve and whispered, “don’t cry, there’s nothing to cry.”
“Our father is the only relative, but look at him, he doesn’t care about us at all.” Li Yulian sobbed: “You see, ruxiu’s father loves her so much. He smiles every time he sees her. She goes with us. Ruxiu only says that we are her friends, and her mother smiles. She invites us to eat here and there, boos the cold and asks the warm, and loves the house and the black. Dad never smiles at us in ordinary days. That’s all. He’s such a person. But he doesn’t like my friends, that’s all That means he doesn’t like me! ”
Alas… Li Pingchuan also sighed and said, “my father is such a person. What are you angry with him? He doesn’t know if you are angry with him. Even if he knows, he won’t put it in his heart. It’s useless for you to be angry here. It’s better to dress up and go outside to relax.”
“I’m not in the mood. How can I relax?” Li Yulian retorted. She didn’t mention running away from home anymore. She went to sleep in the inner room.
Li Pingchuan sat in the hall for a long time. Finally, he stood up and told the servant girls around him to look at her well, and then went back to his room.
Li Zhaoyan sat in the outer room of his room like a sculpture. What Li Yulian said just now pierced into his heart like a needle, drilling around in his heart, making it difficult for him to sleep and eat.
His men just told him that she cried. She said he never smiled at her. She said he didn’t like her friends, just didn’t like her! She even said that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. This is really a criticism. Isn’t he good enough for the two children over the years?
He seldom cares about concubines, sons and daughters, but he has raised her wholeheartedly. Instead, he is angry because he is harming her.
What’s more, what does his mother’s death have to do with him? He was released that year, and he knew nothing about what happened at home. How did he know that the flower like woman died of illness? Although he didn’t say it, he was a husband and wife sleeping together, and his heart was not pained. Otherwise, what did the two children want to do over the years? Why was he so old Will depend on them?
Even if she didn’t want to get married and they ran away from home, he didn’t blame them much. He just suppressed it. But why are these children so ignorant? Do they just want to say such ugly words to kill his heart? If others say these words, he won’t care at all, but the person who said this is the daughter he held in the palm of his hand since he was a child. That’s right Let Li Zhaoyan some doubt, is he really doing wrong?
Standing up, Li Zhaoyan went out, but he didn’t know where to go. Finally, he came to the gate of Li Yulian’s yard.
“Go and tell your young lady that I’m coming.” he used to go in directly on weekdays. Today, he stood outside the door with a straight face. Instead, he asked the servant girl to go in and report.
The servant girl went in as ordered and informed. Li Zhaoyan stood at the door waiting, but just waited for a word. The servant girl told her: the young lady said she didn’t want to see you.
“Just tell her that I have something to tell her clearly. After that, I won’t care what she wants or what friends she wants to bring over.” Li Zhaoyan asked the servant girl to go over and say.
This time, when Li Yulian heard the servant girl say this, she got up from the bed. She invited Li Zhaoyan in, and then she went to the outer room.
When Li Zhaoyan saw his daughter, his eyes were still red and swollen. For a moment, he couldn’t help feeling a little distressed and said, “I’m sorry, Yulian, it’s all my father’s bad.”
Although it was still a plain expression and a plain tone, it was very difficult to say this from his mouth. Li Yulian knew how arrogant her father was, so she softened down and shouted, “Dad.”
“Sit down a little.” Li Zhaoyan waved to Li Yulian. When Li Yulian sat next to him, he stretched out his hand, fondled her head and said: “Your child has grown so big in the blink of an eye and has his own thoughts, thoughts and opinions in the blink of an eye. This is good. It shows that you have begun to learn to distinguish right from wrong and become an adult. But why do you always misunderstand your father’s kindness?”
“Dad!” Li Yulian heard that Li Zhaoyan had the idea of mentioning the old things again. Even if she was a little unhappy, she didn’t tremble. Li Zhaoyan interrupted Li Yulian and said, “I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to apologize.”
“Apologize?” Li Yulian turned her head and looked at Li Zhaoyan. Her eyes were full of surprise. She couldn’t believe that these two words would come out of her father’s mouth.
“Yes, I want to apologize to you. Today I’m not good. I didn’t worry about your face, so I made a speech to drive people away.” Li Zhaoyan said.
“It’s all right.” Li Yulian said, “my face doesn’t matter. The important thing is, Dad, if you embroider her, she’s very nice. It’s embarrassing for you to do so. Since you already know that you’re wrong today, I’ll apologize to her for you when I see her tomorrow.”
Li Yulian said in a brisk voice. Li Zhaoyan was willing to admit his mistake, which made her feel very happy.
“Wait a minute.” when Li Zhaoyan heard Li Yulian’s words, he quickly stopped and said, “when did I say I was wrong? I didn’t think it was wrong for me to drive her away. I just thought I was wrong in front of you and didn’t pay attention to your emotions.”
After hearing this, Li Yulian felt very disappointed. She tried her best to calm her tone. “Dad, do you mean that if I invite her to play again next time, you’ll still drive her away, right? It’s just in public, but in private?”
“Yes.” Li Zhaoyan nodded. He was such a person. He was not wrong. He would never recognize it. It was like that when he was young. Now, when he is middle-aged, he has become an indisputable parent official in the city. His temper has become more stubborn.
“Why do you do this? From what point do you think ruxiu is bad?” Li Yulian asked, “you always say that others have ulterior motives. I think you have ulterior motives. Because I am your daughter, all those who approach me have ulterior motives!”
“That’s right.” Li Zhaoyan nodded and said, “isn’t it a lesson from the past? I told you not to associate with her at that time. You didn’t listen. What happened later? Did you know you were wrong later?”
“Forget the delicate things.” Li Yulian said, “I didn’t see people clearly, but I was blind once and won’t be blind again. What’s more, I don’t care. What do you care? I’m willing to be cheated by them again!”
“You child, why don’t you know how to teach a lesson? People say that you gain wisdom by taking a cut. I think you can’t grow a brain by suffering many losses.” Li Zhaoyan said coldly.
“Yes, I’m such a person. I’d rather be cheated and used by them. At least I have this value. I say so, are you satisfied?” Li Yulian said: “the person bitten by the snake is me. How can I be afraid that the well rope has become you?”
“Don’t you understand? It’s just because I care about you,” Li Zhaoyan said.
“But is that how you care about me? I’m lonely because I don’t have friends around me. What do you think is the servant girls you chose for me? Don’t they always coax me to give them gifts or buy all kinds of things?” Li Yulian said: “I’m a lady. I have no friends. I’m not even as good as a prisoner. I managed to escape from prison and was caught back by you!”
“I just don’t want you to be hurt.” Li Zhaoyan still said, “can’t you understand my good intentions?”
“Oh, I ask you, can the flowers in the greenhouse grow up?” Li Yulian said: “I am willing to be hurt. I can grow better only if I touch the wall once and suffer several setbacks.”
“Then you know it’s a liar. You’re using you. You still treat her as a good friend?” Li Zhaoyan said.
“What qualifications do you have to say that ruxiu is a liar? People are brighter, more aboveboard and more magnanimous than you!” Li Yulian said coldly.
“OK, do you dare to make a bet with me?” Li Zhaoyan said.
“What bet? I dare not!” Li Yulian looked at him fearlessly.
“I’ll bet that girl has impure intentions for you,” Li Zhaoyan said.
“OK, I’ll bet with you!” Li Yulian agreed and said, “I had nothing and didn’t tell her about my family background, but she was still so kind to me, which means she’s not the kind of person you think!”
“Do you think people won’t know if you don’t say it?” Li Zhaoyan sneered. “Your clothes, speech and behavior show that you were born extraordinary.”
“Well, even if she knows that, she has never come to me before!”
“Isn’t he coming to you now?”
“You don’t think she came to Fucheng specially to find me? They came to take his brother to the western regions. They happened to meet me in the street that day.”
“By chance, how can there be so many by chance? Use your brain to think about it.”
“I won’t tell you more. Anyway, you are used to interrogating prisoners on weekdays. Everyone looks like a prisoner, so you can say how to gamble!” Li Yulian stood up and really didn’t want to tell Li Zhaoyan more. He is an official. When interrogating prisoners, everyone thinks they have a conspiracy and always guesses a person with the greatest malice.
“Well, you don’t listen to me. Let’s bet this time, but you can’t disclose our bet to anyone. I’ll try her then,” Li Zhaoyan said.
“OK, I won’t tell anyone. I’ll see how you test.” Li Yulian sneered.
“You have to cooperate with me,” Li Zhaoyan said again.
“Well, how do you want me to cooperate, as long as it doesn’t hurt ruxiu.” Li Yulian replied.
Hum, Li Zhaoyan sneered. Today, for his daughter’s sake, he went to try this girl. It’s best for others to try out her ulterior motives.
