Chapter 281: Misunderstanding
When talking about her father, Jiaojiao lowered her head.
She said sadly, "My aunt said that Daddy doesn't like me anymore because I killed Mom, so Daddy feels sad when he sees me."
She heard people say that her mother used to be in good health, but it became worse after she gave birth to her.
If her health had not deteriorated after giving birth to her, she would not have died of a cold.
"Nonsense!" Lin Yuan got angry when he heard this nonsense. "Your mother, from the moment I was born, was weaker than other people."
"Later, I followed your grandfather around and built up my strength, which is why I didn't catch a cold or fever so often!"
What this group of people said, that it was all Jiaojiao who caused her to be like this, was pure nonsense.
"This cold is no minor illness. They talk about it as if everyone in this world is made of iron. Little do they know that countless people die from colds every year."
Both the cold and smallpox are fatal.
Whether you can get through it depends on your fate.
Lin Yuan spread out his hands. "When I was seven or eight years old, there was a crazy monk who said that I would have a short life. If I wanted to live long, I had to take him as my master and travel around the world with him, escaping the mundane world."
"That monk was crazy. He dressed like a monk and drank alcohol and ate meat. At that time, my family just thought he was crazy and chased him away."
Lin Yuan looked a little disappointed, but soon he smiled in relief, "Now it seems that what the monk said was not false at all. I am really a short-lived person. He is not a madman or a liar, but a true master."
As Lin Yuan spoke, she reached out and touched Jiaojiao's head. She couldn't touch Jiaojiao, so her hand could only pass through her daughter's hair like a breeze.
"So, don't listen to those people's nonsense."
"By the way, who is this cousin you were talking about?"
Jiaojiao lowered her head and thought for a long time before she remembered her aunt's name.
"Her last name is Xu, and I occasionally hear people call her Xiaoya."
Lin Yuan frowned. It turned out to be Xu Ya. She remembered that Xu Ya married a scholar and they lived a very hard life. The scholar's family had no one left, so it could be said that he had married into the Xu family.
But the scholar was a little proud and didn't want to be labeled as a son-in-law, so he lived in a rented house with his wife and daughter.
Whenever Xu Ya showed any intention of wanting help from the Xu family, or whenever Xu Ya went back to her parents' home for help, the scholar would quarrel with Xu Ya for a long time.
The family was in turmoil.
Lin Yuan was unable to judge others, but he felt sorry for Xu Ya's daughter, so he sometimes secretly helped Xu Ya without telling the scholar.
Xu Ya also hid it well and no one knew about it.
How come Xu Ya is married to Li Sui now?
"Did she get divorced?"
Xu Ya was a very proud person. She had been waiting for her husband to pass the imperial examination so that she could become his wife.
How come she has become Li Sui’s second wife now?
Jiaojiao shook her head, her eyes wide open, her eyes clearly black and white. "Mother, what does divorce mean?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said in a tone that the child could understand, "It's just that the two of them didn't like each other anymore and broke up."
"When did your aunt and uncle separate?"
Hearing this, Jiaojiao shook her head.
"Mother, we didn't separate. I heard from my grandmother and the others that my cousin's father died of anger after failing the imperial examination."
"They said that on the day the results were announced, my cousin's husband was squeezed in at the front. When he saw that he had failed, he vomited blood, and the doctors couldn't save him."
Anyway, after that, about six months later, my aunt brought my cousin to their house.
Jiaojiao tugged at her mother's sleeve, even though she could only hold back a gust of wind. "Mom, they all told me to change my way of speaking. They told me to call my aunt "Mom" and my cousin "Sister"..."
But she didn't agree.
"I only have one mother. No one else is my mother."
Your cousin is your cousin, and you cannot be her mother.
She only has Lin Yuan as her biological mother.
Although she seemed a little stupid, she almost forgot what her mother looked like.
But she would never recognize anyone else as her mother.
Only a fool would recognize someone else as his or her own mother.
She's just a fool, not a fool.
Su Tan stood aside and suddenly made a gesture, and a golden light fell on Lin Yuan.
Before Jiaojiao had time to be happy that her mother could glow, she found that she could pull her mother's sleeves!
"Mother! I can touch you now!"
Jiaojiao was so happy that she threw herself into her mother's arms.
Lin Yuan was a little dazed. She never thought that one day she would be able to hold a daughter in her arms.
Her eyes were slightly red and she silently said thank you to Su Tan.
"That bastard Li Sui, now that he has a new wife, is abusing my daughter like this. I must go and get him to account!"
Lin Yuan made up his mind to seek revenge on Li Sui and ask him why he abused his daughter and whether all the vows he made in the past had gone to waste.
Jiaojiao lowered her head with red eyes.
She said weakly, "Dad didn't abuse me, it's just that every time he saw me, he looked very sad."
"My cousin's aunt said that my father was sad because my mother had given birth to me, which made her poorly healthy and caused her to die young. Whenever my father saw me, he would think of her, feel sad, and hate me."
Jiaojiao doesn't know what hate means.
But she could feel that her father was unhappy when he saw her.
After that, she rarely got close to her father.
She doesn't clamor for her daddy so much anymore.
Sometimes even when her father came to see her, she would hide.
Because she was afraid that her father would be sad.
She loves her father very much, just like she loves her mother.
Jiaojiao reached out her hand and shook her mother's sleeve. The tiny person choked with sobs, "Mother, please don't cause trouble for my father."
"Dad just missed you too much."
"I can see that."
The way my father looks at my aunt is always different from the way he looks at my mother.
Every time her father and aunt stood together, she felt that they seemed unfamiliar with each other.
"Mother, there's still a portrait of you hanging in Father's study. I saw it before my cousin aunt got married."
She didn't know whether it was still hanging there.
Because, ever since her cousin aunt got married, she rarely went to my father's study.
She was afraid that her father would feel sad when he saw her.
In the past, when her father was sad, she thought he was missing her mother just like she was.
She didn't know that her father hated her so much.
"Pooh!"
Lin Yuan was still as hot-tempered as ever, and spat fiercely on the ground, "Why is he pretending to be such a jerk? Does he really think I can still abuse my daughter?"
Li Sui, this bastard, kept cheating and cheating, and even cheated himself.
She must settle the score with this bastard today!
"Mother..."
Jiaojiao's voice was weak, and she wanted to persuade him again.
Su Tan's gentle voice fell.
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding."
"Jiaojiao, I'll take you home first."
"If there's any misunderstanding, just let your mother and father talk it out."
Of course, the father and daughter also need to talk it out.
Jiaojiao nodded vigorously and looked at Su Tan with gratitude, "Thank you, Fairy Sister!"
Lin Yuan was also very grateful, "Thank you very much, Immortal."
Who else except the gods in heaven could help them like this?
This word "immortal" fits Su Tan perfectly.
Su Tan: “…”
Su Tan's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
She just reached out, took out an umbrella, and put Lin Yuan into the umbrella.
Su Tan took Jiaojiao down the mountain.
Holding the little girl in one hand, she gently knocked on the Lin family's door with the other. A sleepy male voice came from inside, "Who is it in the middle of the night?"
Su Tan simply said, "An urgent military report has been sent to your residence."
