"Go away, go away—"
Li Changke roared with a red face, and the villagers were so scared that they dared not approach him.
Seeing Li Sheng walking away.
He dropped the shovel and took his mother Tao Xianghong's hand.
Carefully helped the other person into the yard.
Then he immediately closed the door, bolted it, and propped it up with two sticks.
"Chang Ke, listen to what mom said, he really is your father, he..."
Without waiting for Tao Xianghong to finish speaking.
Li Changke advised in a deep voice: "Mom, he is not. Listen to me, he really is not."
"If he were my father, he would kill both of us."
Tao Xianghong was stunned for a moment, and stammered in defense: "How could it be, he is the big boss now, he came back to benefit everyone."
"What happened in the past is over. He is not a counter-revolutionary. He has long been cleared of this."
Li Changke: "Even if he's not a counter-revolutionary, he's not a good person."
"Mom, have you forgotten how he abandoned us and ran away? He has no humanity."
How could Tao Xianghong forget?
When she thought of what happened back then, she couldn't help but shed tears.
At that time, because my father-in-law was an officer on the other side of the strait, my family was labeled as counter-revolutionaries.
They were dragged out to the streets for criticism and parade every day.
Although life was difficult, as long as the family was together, she felt that she could get through it as long as she gritted her teeth.
But one day her husband suddenly ran away.
Not only did he run away, but he also took advantage of her absence to sell everything in the house while she was taking her child to the doctor and took away all the money in the house.
She took Li Changke, who was only four years old at the time, away for a night, and when she came back she found her house was empty.
There was not a penny in the house, not a single decent piece of furniture, not a single bite to eat or drink.
She wanted to go out and beg for food, but was scolded because her man had 'defected'.
Not even a grain of rice could be obtained.
The mother and son were so hungry that they could only hide at home and drink water.
Lin Hongxian's wife, Yu, couldn't stand it anymore, so she secretly slipped a large bowl of corn porridge in from under the door every day.
Only then did the mother and child survive.
Finally, the villagers felt that the orphans and their widowed mother were really pitiful.
The revolutionary youths were persuaded to leave and no longer criticized.
The mother and son slowly got through the day...
Tao Xianghong's eyes were damaged by crying during those desperate days.
She will never forget the hurt her husband caused her.
But things are different now.
My husband is rich, he is back, and he has the foreign identity that others envy.
He could allow Li Changke to live a wealthy life that both mother and son could not even imagine.
As long as her son can live a good life, Tao Xianghong would rather forget everything and swallow all the bitterness.
I just hope my son will be rich and happy in the future.
After living together for so many years, how could Li Changke not see that his mother was doing this for him?
I forced myself to recognize that disgusting man.
But he would never admit it.
Patiently persuaded his mother: "Mom, you only know that he made money and came back."
"Do you know how he makes his money?"
"He's a citizen of Country M now. Who knows if he's a spy for Country M?"
"What if?"
“The movement has only been going on for a few years?”
"If he comes back this time to do something bad, we will be implicated and killed."
"I heard from my teacher at school that this is the Cold War era."
"Western M imperialism is full of evil intentions and wants to destroy us."
"They can't beat us in an open fight on the CX battlefield, so they resort to underhand tactics."
"A large number of spies and traitors were sent here."
"What if he is?"
"Mom—he almost killed us before."
"Are you really not afraid of being killed by him again?"
"The situation is still unclear, and I absolutely cannot admit that he is my father."
Tao Xianghong was stunned when he heard this.
Yes, how can you recognize Li Sheng when you don’t know anything about the situation now?
What if it’s true as my son said, that the other party is a spy who has returned to China?
Recalling the days when he almost starved to death, Tao Xianghong shuddered.
Follow-up question: “What should we do now?”
Li Changke: "I heard he's going to build a kiln and make bricks for the villagers to build houses for free."
"I just don't believe he has such good intentions. He's not that kind of person."
Tao Xianghong finally realized what his son said and felt puzzled. "He also said he wanted to build the kiln factory in the mass grave behind the village. How can a factory be built in a place like that?"
Li Changke: "There's clearly something fishy going on. Mom, next time you meet someone from this village, tell them he's not my dad and don't acknowledge him."
"Just say you couldn't see and were tricked by him."
Tao Xianghong: "Then we're probably overthinking it. He's changed his ways and made money doing honest business abroad. Does he really want to come back and help everyone this time?"
Li Changke: "I don't believe it. It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. He's lazy and cunning, and he'll never change his bad habits."
"Mom, you didn't see it. He and that flirtatious woman just…"
Before Li Changke finished speaking, Tao Xianghong's expression changed.
Li Changke didn't want to say it at first, but if he didn't say it, he was worried that his mother didn't know what kind of person Li Sheng was now.
Seeing his mother in pain at this moment, Li Changke also felt pain in his heart.
But he could only grit his teeth and emphasize: "For so many years, he abandoned us and didn't care about us. He came back and brought a bitch with him. He has long lost his humanity and is nothing more than a beast."
"That beast is not worthy of being my father. Nothing he says can be believed."
"Chang Ke, I...I...it's my mother's fault..."
