Tong Chengsheng refused to tell the reason why he quarreled with Tonghua yesterday, and Qin Zun was helpless with him.
After all, the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, but his wife's father. He could not interrogate him like a criminal.
He looked at the room full of wine bottles and suddenly came up with a good idea. He looked around and saw a dozen unopened wine bottles next to the sofa.
Qin Zun walked to the sofa and sat down there, then pointed to the opposite side of the sofa and invited Tong Chengsheng to sit down: "Father-in-law, please sit down."
Qin Zun took out a few unopened bottles of wine from the corner of the sofa and placed them on the coffee table between the two of them.
After he finished speaking, he opened another bottle of wine and said, "Tonghua is my wife, and you are her father. Now you are my elder. As younger people, we shouldn't talk back to our elders no matter what. Tonghua was wrong yesterday, but she's not here today, so I'll make amends to you, my father-in-law."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the entire bottle and poured it directly into his mouth. Tong Chengsheng couldn't stop him.
Seeing Qin Zun guzzling beer, Tong Chengsheng stopped him: "Hey, no need! No need! Don't drink anymore!"
Qin Zun drank most of the bottle of wine in one gulp before putting it down.
Qin Zun continued, "Father-in-law, I apologize to you on behalf of Tonghua. This is what I should do."
Tong Chengsheng slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, this is not the way to drink alcohol. It's no different from drinking water. You haven't had much experience with alcohol, young man."
No matter how much you drink, you should never drink it as water. This will not only waste the wine but also cause choking.
Qin Zun suggested: "Then I'll go to the kitchen and get two cups, and we can have a good drink together."
Qin Zun took out two cups from the kitchen and placed them in front of the two of them, then poured each of them a full cup.
"Father-in-law, please!"
Qin Zun stretched out his hand to signal Tong Chengsheng to drink first. Tong Chengsheng was not polite and drank the wine in the glass in one breath. Qin Zun immediately filled Tong Chengsheng's glass with wine.
Tong Chengsheng picked up the wine glass from the coffee table and took another sip, then said: "It is enough for you to be filial. I don't ask for more. I just hope that you can treat my daughter well in this life, and I will be satisfied."
He didn't have much contact with his son-in-law and didn't know him very well, but when he saw Qin Zun defending his daughter so much today, Tong Chengsheng was very happy.
Qin Zun said, "Of course. Tonghua is my wife, so I will naturally protect her well."
After taking a sip of wine, Qin Zun began to ask tentatively, "Father-in-law, you still think about Tonghua even now. You are really good to her. As a junior, Tonghua really shouldn't have quarreled with you."
Tong Chengsheng had a bitter look on his face and waved his hand, saying, "No, it's not her fault. It's my fault."
Qin Zun poured another glass of wine for Tong Chengsheng: "You are the elder, how could you be wrong? Besides, I believe you must have your reasons."
Tong Chengsheng seemed to be lost in memories, his hand holding the cup remained suspended in mid-air for a long time. After a long while, he finally drank the glass of wine.
"I do have my reasons, but I did hurt Tonghua. I know Tonghua is very sad and must be blaming me, her father, for driving her away without any reason. But I really can't help it..."
Tong Chengsheng covered his face in pain, as if he was crying softly. He must have hurt his daughter's heart yesterday, but he had no other choice at the time. After he regained consciousness, his first thought was to get his daughter away from here as soon as possible.
But if he didn't explain the reason clearly, his daughter would definitely not leave here, so he had to harden his heart and drive his daughter away mercilessly.
Qin Zun persuaded the other party: "Since you regard me as a family member, why can't you tell me the reason for your quarrel? Maybe I can help you?"
At this time, Tong Chengsheng's brain began to lose its rationality under the influence of alcohol.
Tong Chengsheng frowned and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really can't."
Now the news of the daughter's kidnapping has spread like wildfire in the community. They don't know the truth and just treat it as a pastime after dinner.
He really couldn't guarantee that if his son-in-law knew about this, he would look at the fairy tale through tinted glasses.
For a man, when his wife encounters this kind of thing, some people may not dislike their wife on the surface, but in fact they will secretly wonder whether their wife is really unclean.
Even if Qin Zun was magnanimous and chose to believe the fairy tale, after hearing the rumors for so long, it was hard to guarantee that his thoughts would not change. He secretly wondered if the fairy tale was really as the residents of the community said, that it was given by the criminals...
He really couldn't guarantee what kind of person his son-in-law would be.
Seeing that the other party was already so drunk and still refused to tell the reason, Qin Zun had to give up. He planned to let Assistant Zhou investigate secretly.
Before Qin Zun came, Tong Chengsheng had already gotten himself drunk. Now Qin Zun gave him a few more glasses of wine, and Tong Chengsheng could no longer hold on and passed out.
Tong Chengsheng fell drunk on the sofa. After all, he was Tong Hua's father, so he couldn't just ignore him. Qin Zun rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help Tong Chengsheng to the room.
Qin Zun immediately helped Tong Chengsheng lie down in the room and took off his coat and shoes.
When Qin Zun stood up and was about to leave the room, Tong Chengsheng suddenly sat up from the bed.
He looked at Qin Zun with clear eyes and said, "If you swear that you will not dislike my daughter after I tell you the reason, I will tell you everything."
Qin Zun didn't know whether Tong Chengsheng was sleepwalking now, but he was still willing to believe what Tong Chengsheng said.
Qin Zun said: "I swear."
After Qin Zun finished his oath, Tong Chengsheng finally spoke and explained why he had kicked Tong Hua out of the house without asking any questions last night.
The whole story, including the quarrel he had with the shop owner in the community a few days ago, the fact that he heard people talking about fairy tales when he returned home from get off work, and the fact that he had several quarrels with Zhang Guiying after a big fight with his daughter.
After saying all this, Qin Zun understood everything, why Tong Chengsheng had refused to tell him the reason for his quarrel with Tong Hua.
In order to protect his daughter, he was willing to be resented and misunderstood by her, and he was also willing to be misunderstood by himself and everyone else.
If he hadn't said it himself, anyone who heard it would think that he, as a father, was too concerned about his reputation and believed the rumors spread by the residents in the community and forced his daughter to leave.
He silently endured so many misunderstandings without saying a word.
