Chapter 425
Li Yue Niang looked up at Su Yi, with unremitting sadness in her eyes.
Su Yi avoided her gaze, not daring to meet her gaze. "You, don't be like this. What happened back then was an accident. No one wants this to happen."
"It's a good thing that Changzhi can come back now. It's a good thing. Don't worry, I won't ignore him. They are all my children. I treat them all equally. What Changqing and Chang'an have, Changzhi will definitely have too."
Su Yi lowered his head and asked softly, "Is he okay? Where has he been all these years? Back then..."
Li Yue Niang breathed a sigh of relief. "He's in very bad shape. He's in very poor health. He just came back from Tong Ren Tang this morning. He's not even as healthy as I am."
Li Yueniang burst into tears as she spoke. "I'm out of breath after just a few steps. My foundation is completely hollowed out. If I hadn't encountered Qing porcelain, I probably wouldn't have survived two years."
"Wow~ He looks more than ten years older than Changqing. Those children are like refugees who fled from the war. They are very skinny. Their little wrists are as thin as burning matchsticks. The eldest one was less than fourteen years old and went out to do hard labor to support the whole family. Wow~"
Su Yi drooped his head even more. Listening to the whimpering sound, his heart felt very depressed and uncomfortable. He would rather Li Yue Niang beat him than listen to her cry.
"Don't cry, it will be fine, it will be fine. What did Tong Ren Tang say? No matter how much it costs, let them find the best doctor and use the best medicine. Don't worry about the money. I, I will find a way..."
"If all else fails, I'll look for someone, a good doctor." Su Yi stammered to comfort her.
Li Yueniang wiped away her tears and said, "Changqing will be back soon, and you don't have to take care of Jindong and Qingci anymore. Not to mention Meifang and Changan on your side. They both grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths and have enjoyed a lifetime of happiness with you."
"Only my Changzhi has never eaten a grain of rice or drunk a drop of water from you in his entire life. It's because of you that he has suffered all his life. I don't want you to treat the children equally. Not to mention Chang'an and Meifang, even Changqing is not qualified to treat me, Changzhi, equally. They all have good health and a bright future. What does my Changzhi have? What does he have?"
"You should give him exclusive love. You owe him that. You gave birth to him, but you never raised him for a single day. You haven't fulfilled all the responsibilities a father should have."
Li Yue Niang looked at the man with drooping shoulders, resentment flashing in her eyes.
"Su Yi, do you know what Changzhi told me when he came back?"
Su Yi slowly raised his head. Li Yueniang looked at him and said word by word, "Changzhi said that he was waiting for me at the entrance of the alley that day. He saw Qin Xiangxiang walking towards me, holding her stomach and looking very painful. Qin Xiangxiang lied to him and said that there was turmoil in the street ahead and that I was stuck there. Changzhi ran to find me because he was worried about me."
"Changzhi said she had already had her period. Su Yi, is the child in Qin Xiangxiang's belly really yours? I've been carrying this accusation for decades. I really can't understand what kind of mother would use her almost full-term child in her belly to frame someone else."
"Open your dog eyes and take a look at what a venomous snake you've married all these years!"
Su Yi lowered his head and remained silent. He followed Li Yue Niang's scolding. When Li Yue Niang was tired of scolding him, he spoke weakly, "Can I go over to see them?"
Li Yue Niang sneered, "Do you have the nerve to go?"
Su Yi argued stubbornly, "I am his father and the grandfather of these children."
Li Yue Niang gritted her teeth and said, "Have you ever done anything for them that a father or grandfather should do? Do you still remember that you are a father and a grandfather?"
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before Li Yue Niang sighed. "Hurry up and finish what I told you to do. I'll take Chang Zhi to Tong Ren Tang every three days. If you want to see him, go secretly. Don't show up in front of him for the time being."
"Wait until the child is better..."
Su Yi nodded repeatedly, with a flattering look on his face, "Okay, okay, I'll watch secretly and make sure he doesn't see me. Don't worry, I'll take care of all the things you mentioned."
Li Yue Niang gave him a complicated look, stood up and turned away.
After watching Li Yue Niang leave, Su Yi sighed deeply. He didn't know how things turned out like this.
He never thought of hurting Li Yueniang and her son.
He admitted that he did owed the three of them, mother and son, but he did not think he had done anything wrong in his stance back then.
The education he received since childhood and the environment around him did not teach him that a man should be faithful to one woman.
Not to mention his uncle and grandfather, even his biological father had several concubines, and when he was with Qin Xiangxiang, taking concubines was still legal.
But when he had to choose one person later, he gave up Li Yue Niang.
But there was no way around it. In that war-torn era, he and Li Yue Niang hadn't seen or contacted each other for so many years. He didn't know the situation at home, and he didn't even know whether Li Yue Niang was still waiting for him. Moreover, Qin Xiangxiang was pregnant at the time. No matter which one it was, he would always let one of them down.
Compared to having a wife and mother whom he hasn't seen for more than ten years, and having a gentle and considerate revolutionary comrade who shares the same ideals as him, he would choose the latter over anyone else.
Su Yi felt depressed and breathless. Even though he chose Qin Xiangxiang, he never thought of ignoring Li Yue Niang and her son. He didn't understand why it turned out like this?
Qin Xiangxiang was resentful, and Li Yueniang was also resentful. Changqing and Changzhi were not living well, and Chang'an and Meifang also resented him. He had been so sincere to everyone for so many years, but when he got old, he was deserted by everyone and neither side had a good ending.
What had he done wrong? Was he idle and indulged in drinking, whoring, gambling, or was he not doing his job and beating up his wife and children?
Did he not bring money home to support his family? Or did he abandon his wife and children to live a carefree life?
No matter whether the child was born by Qin Xiangxiang or Li Yue Niang, he tried his best to raise each child with care. No matter what conditions were proposed by Li Yue Niang or Qin Xiangxiang, he tried his best to meet them. Why did he end up like this?
The more Su Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. He had never been worthy of his country, his party, or anyone else!
He has a clear conscience!!
He raised his hand and touched the big bump on his forehead, and he hissed in pain.
This damn old woman never holds back when she strikes. If he hadn't divorced her back then, he might have died in her hands now, right?
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu~"
"Commander Su, I'm here!"
"Hurry up, go to Liuhuai Lane this afternoon to see what schools are around. Look for schools that are closer and have better teaching quality. My grandchildren have transferred here, so please go and arrange for them."
"Yes, yes, household registration, and household registration." And work, house...
Oh my God, this damn old woman, how many years will she have to eat pickled vegetable porridge?
Su Yi had a bitter face. Who had a miserable life? He was the only one who had the most miserable life, okay?
