Chapter 11 The Truth About My Father’s Drowning



"You're not my biological daughter, so I understand. But treating my biological daughter this way... It's really hard to judge someone who favors sons over daughters."

"Hasn't being a nanny for so many years been enough? I really don't owe them anything. Even if they decide to keep the child, you don't have to feel guilty."

"That's not what you mean, is it? If Li Lan hadn't been taken in by her adoptive parents, how could she be where she is today? Although they treated her badly, there was nothing they could do. We were so poor back then, and one more person meant one more meal, so it was only natural for you to work. Besides, it wasn't just her they treated like that; they treated their own daughters like that, too."

[Yes, yes, yes, you guys are the ones who value boys more than girls. It's just a minor issue.]

[Are you okay? You can even punch like this? ]

[No matter what, the grace of raising a child is greater than heaven, so if you want to blame someone, just blame her for having a miserable life.]

Tang Yu pulled the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Favor? I don't think so."

Li Lan was stunned: "Master Tang, what do you mean by this?"

Tang Yu: "You will understand soon. Go home first. Your adoptive parents are waiting for you. When you get home, don't disconnect."

Li Lan's left eyelid kept twitching, and she always had a bad feeling.

But she believed in Master Tang, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back now."

After she had a quarrel with her husband, she came to the park to relax.

I’ve been out for so long, I wonder if he and my mother-in-law will be worried?

Think of this.

Li Lan smiled sarcastically again.

Who will really care about her now and be willing to respect her choice?

They are all forcing her!

"What sin have I committed?! I only have this one son, and now my wife is finally pregnant, and you actually want her to have an abortion. Your son's life is life, but my grandson's life is not life?"

As soon as Li Lan walked in.

Then I heard my mother-in-law crying loudly in the house.

also.

Also in the room were her husband Wu Jianguo and adoptive parents.

The four of them sat on the sofa, all looking over at him.

Adoptive mother Zhang Guihua's face was grim as she stared at Li Lan fiercely, "Where have you been hiding? If we hadn't adopted you, you would have starved to death somewhere. Is this how you repay me?"

"Jiaming is my only son, the fruit of our life. I'm only asking you to abort the child and donate your bone marrow. I'm not asking you to trade your life for another's. Why are you unwilling to do that? If I had known you were such an ungrateful person, I shouldn't have adopted you in the first place."

The mother-in-law was so angry that her blood pressure soared. She pointed at Zhang Guihua and said, "You, you, I've been worried sick all these years because she couldn't get pregnant. The doctor said that if she aborts this baby, she won't be able to get pregnant again. You are trying to make our Wu family extinct! You can abort it, but we can divorce you immediately."

Husband Wu Jianguo sighed deeply and said to Li Lan, "Originally, I wouldn't mind if you couldn't have children. At worst, you could adopt a child. But you shouldn't have given me hope and then cruelly deprived it of it."

"I don't care how much money you've given to your parents over the past two years, because I understand how hard it has been for them to raise you. If you really do decide to abort the fetus, then we should get a divorce."

Li Lan's head suddenly started buzzing.

Zhang Guihua chuckled twice. "Oh, the news has said it. There are more women than men now, and divorced women with children are always vying for marriage. Divorce if you want, I'm not afraid of you. At worst, I can help her find another one. Anyway, today, she has to agree, whether she agrees or not."

[Her adoptive mother is really... hard to describe. I sympathize with Li Lan.]

[A man has his own reasons, and a woman has her own reasons.]

[This is Li Lan's life. Let her make her own decision. Don't force her.]

"What would happen if she didn't abort the baby and donate the bone marrow?"

Who is speaking?

The people present looked around and their eyes fell on Li Lan's phone.

Li Lan quickly turned the screen around so that everyone could see clearly.

"This is Master Tang, a fortune teller I found on Douyin. He's very accurate."

Zhang Guihua frowned: "Why are you looking for a fortune teller?"

Li Lan said with a guilty conscience, "I, I just want to ask Master Tang whether Jiaming's surgery can be successful?"

The girl in the phone is young and beautiful.

Zhang Guihua knew he was a liar at first sight.

He yelled at Li Lan and Tang Yu, "Do you think we are fools? How can there be such a young master? And she's a woman, you can tell she's a charlatan at first glance."

"I think you've been kicked in the head by a donkey. Oh, she said it won't work, so you're not going to save your brother? If you don't agree, then go die and give my life back to me."

Tang Yu sneered, "In that case, shouldn't you also pay for Li Lan's father's life?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Guihua's expression changed instantly.

Li Dachuan, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, also looked unhappy.

Li Lan's pupils trembled, and she looked at Tang Yu on the phone in shock, "Master Tang, could my father's death be related to them?"

Tang Yu nodded: "You can say that the reason your father drowned was to save your adoptive mother."

"Back then, Zhang Guihua was washing her feet by the river when she accidentally fell into the water. Your father happened to be passing by..."

.......

Many years ago.

At noon that day, a light drizzle began to fall.

Entering summer.

The weather is changeable.

The sun was shining brightly one moment, and the sky suddenly changed color the next.

After finishing his farm work, Li Yong saw that the rain was getting heavier and hurriedly picked up his hoe.

You need to cross a stone bridge to go home.

After several days of heavy rain, the river below rose rapidly and the water flowed very fast.

"Help, help!"

Suddenly, anxious shouts were heard not far away.

Li Yong looked in the direction of the sound and saw that someone was drowning. He was struggling and shouting for help as the river water rose and fell.

The situation was critical, and Li Yong hurried across the bridge.

I didn't even have time to take off my shoes.

"Plop" jumped into the river.

Zhang Guihua struggled wildly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and climbed onto Li Yong regardless of everything, pressing Li Yong down so that he could not move his hands and feet.

Gradually, he felt dizzy, his body heavy, and his movements became slower and slower, but he still used all his strength to push Li Guihua back to the river.

But he was submerged in the icy river water.

Finally sank to the bottom of the river...

Zhang Guihua lay by the river, gasping for breath.

At this time, Li Dachuan came hurriedly carrying a hoe, "Hey, how did you fall into the water? Guihua, where is the brother who saved you just now?"

When I turned around, Li Yong was nowhere to be found.

"It's over...."

Li Dachuan turned pale with fear. "You damned woman, I told you it's slippery in the river on rainy days, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happening, you've killed me."

Li Guihua was soaking wet and in a state of disarray. She angrily yelled at her husband, "Whether he made it up or not is none of my business. I didn't ask him to rescue him. He volunteered. Don't try to blame me."

He turned around and looked around.

It was raining, and most of the villagers had gone home for lunch, so there were not many people around.

Zhang Guihua quickly pulled her husband away from the scene...
