The county magistrate, who was standing nearby, saw that the misunderstanding was resolved.
"Brother, this is good. Although you didn't meet my sister-in-law, you met my son whom you had never met before. Your son and daughter-in-law are both excellent, which is also a blessing."
The old man still looked at Zhao Lihan with some disbelief.
"Child, can you forgive me?"
Zhao Lihan nodded: "Yeah."
When he heard this, he was so happy that he wanted to sit up from the bed, but was held down by Wang Xiaolan.
"Dad, the silver needles in your body haven't expired yet."
"Daughter, what did you call me just now?"
"I call you dad."
He excitedly said to the county chief: "My daughter-in-law calls me dad."
The county magistrate said, "She is Li Han's daughter-in-law, so naturally she has to call you dad."
When the old man heard this, he remembered that Zhao Lihan had not called him yet, so he looked at Zhao Lihan with anticipation.
Wang Xiaolan pushed Zhao Lihan who was standing there in a daze.
"Call dad quickly, dad is watching you!"
Zhao Lihan's Adam's apple moved up and down on his neck and his lips opened, but he couldn't shout out.
The county magistrate patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand. You'll get used to it in the future."
The old man smiled and said, "My child, Daddy won't force you. As long as you recognize me, I will be satisfied."
At this moment, Zhao Lihan thought of his mother. If only she were still alive, he knew that she had always loved his father.
When he thought of this, he felt his eyes sore and turned around and walked out.
Upon seeing this, the county magistrate immediately followed him out.
Wang Xiaolan saw all of this and knew what he was thinking, but the old man still had many needles stuck in his body, so it was difficult to comfort him.
The old man lying in bed became even more nervous when he saw Zhao Lihan walking away. He was afraid that his newly recognized son would go back on his word and disown him. He wanted to get up from the bed.
"Dad, don't move, it will be fine soon."
"Li Han, Li Han, now that he's gone, will he..."
"Dad, don't worry, it's okay, I'm here."
After hearing his words, the old man calmed down.
Outside the room, Zhao Lihan stood quietly in the courtyard, gazing at the night sky. He recalled what had just happened. It was like a dream. Unknowingly, he had met his biological father, which inevitably caught him off guard. At this moment, he couldn't help but miss his mother.
Just then, the county magistrate patted Zhao Lihan on the back. He turned around and the county magistrate handed him a cigarette.
inside the house.
Wang Xiaolan has completed the treatment for the old man.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
"Well, I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to be such a good doctor."
At this time, Zhao Lihan and the county magistrate came in from outside.
Zhao Lihan's mood was obviously much better.
The old man kept his eyes on Zhao Lihan, wanting to say something but he didn't say it.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolan knew that he had something to say.
"Dad, we are not outsiders, just tell me what you want to say!"
"I want to go to your mother's grave tomorrow."
When Zhao Lihan heard this, he stared at him with wide eyes, but did not answer his question.
Wang Xiaolan said, "Okay, I'll take a day off tomorrow, and Li Han and I will go with you."
After hearing Wang Xiaolan's answer, the old man finally felt relieved.
He stood up, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said to the county magistrate, "Let's go! We won't disturb the young couple's rest."
Wang Xiaolan hurriedly said, "Dad, it's so late, and my uncle's home is not in the county town, so you can stay here!"
"No, your uncle has already arranged it for me. My luggage is already at the guesthouse."
…
After seeing the old man off, I returned to the house.
Zhao Lihan was still a little depressed, and Wang Xiaolan looked at him and sighed.
"Now that your biological father has been found, I wonder why you can't be happy?"
"I'm not unhappy, but I think it came too suddenly..."
"You, you! I don't know what to say to you. You look so cold... You didn't even call me dad. Is it so difficult to speak? You've been calling that person at home for more than 20 years."
"Wife, I just, just, can't get used to it all of a sudden."
"Okay, he's your father. I know what you're thinking, so I won't say any more. Li Han, you're his biological father after all. You look so much like your father."
"I feel the same way myself."
"To be honest, the guy you call your father at home, I feel an inexplicable disgust in my heart the moment I see him. Don't you feel it?"
"So what if I had feelings for him? At the time, I just thought he was my father. There was nothing I could do."
"Look at your own child, there's a world of difference between him and you."
"Wife, you are right."
"Tomorrow, when you see your father, remember to call him Dad."
"I'll listen to you. It's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to go back to the village to do some work tomorrow."
So the two of them went to bed.
Zhao Lihan held Wang Xiaolan in his arms, but couldn't fall asleep. The scene of meeting his father kept appearing in his mind.
Wang Xiaolan also suffered from insomnia. When she thought about her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she felt that her mother-in-law was too wronged. She had to live with a scoundrel who had ruined her life. Why didn't she run away?
"Wife, you are wondering why my mother didn't run away, right?"
She turned around, put her arms around Zhao Lihan's neck, and rested her face on his shoulder.
"Yes, why didn't my mother-in-law run away from him? It's beyond my comprehension."
"My mother did it all for me. That beast always used my life to threaten my mother. My mother values me more than her own life."
