Chapter 60 The Scumbag's Three-Piece Combo: Kneeling, Slapping Himself, and Swearing an Oath.
Upon seeing her scumbag father's face, Li Shiyue's melancholy instantly turned into impatience.
If it weren't for the bottom line she still held onto, Li Shiyue would have wanted to find an opportunity to kill her scumbag father directly.
Li's mother pulled Zheng Meiniang to sit on the deck to rest. Because Zheng Meiniang had eaten poisonous fruit on the way, which damaged her eyesight, Li's mother was describing to Zheng Meiniang what the ship they were on looked like and what was on the shore.
Therefore, Li's mother did not notice Li's father walking towards them.
Li Shiyue walked towards her home, but before she got close, Li Wangming saw her father first. As soon as Li Wangming moved, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian, who had just been looking at the river view with him, also turned around.
Stone belatedly turned around to look, "Father?"
Shi Tou naturally recognized his biological father. As soon as Li's father heard Shi Tou call him, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey! Here, take this. It's malt candy. Take it and eat it."
Father Li opened his palm towards the stone, with a few pieces of maltose in his hand.
Even though Shi Tou knew that Li's father was his father, he had been taken care of by Li's mother since he was a child. When he saw that it was candy, Shi Tou quickly went to look at Li's mother sitting on the deck.
Li's mother stood up at the sound, and before she could stand up properly, Li Shiyue stepped forward, took the candy from Li's father's hand, and handed it to Shitou: "Brother, take this and eat it with your sister."
Stone was so thoughtful. He took the handful of candy and gave one to Li Shiyue first. Then he turned around and gave the rest to the Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian sisters. That left three candies, but he didn't get any for himself. There were four people left, including Li Wangming, Li's mother, and Zheng Meiniang.
This is a real challenge for the stone.
Li's mother came over at this moment. She gave Shi Tou one piece, then gave Shi Tou another piece to Li Wangming, and told Shi Tou to keep the last one for later.
“Mother won’t eat anymore. Mother and Aunt are adults now and can’t eat sweets.”
Stone was appeased. Mother Li winked at the Li sisters, Qiutian and Xiatian, and the two sisters nodded and pulled Stone toward Zheng Meiniang.
Thus, Li Shiyue, Li Wangming, and Li's mother were left to face Li's father, who was smiling with ill intent.
Li's mother looked at Li's father with a stern face: "What brings you here?"
The moment Li Wangming saw his father's face, anger surged within him. He decided that if his father uttered even one unpleasant word, he would punch him.
"We've already fought once, so what's the harm in fighting again?"
That's what Li Wangming thought, which is why his eyes were full of eager anticipation as he looked at his father.
Li Shiyue stepped forward to shield her mother, pondering the task issued by the system: "Assist the female supporting character Qin Tao in exposing the true colors of the male supporting character Li Wangguang?"
"His father is a scumbag, does that even need to be exposed?"
So, the key point is how awful the father was to Qin Tao?
Li's father was still somewhat afraid of Li Shiyue. He had never imagined that Li Shiyue, the little girl he had never taken seriously before, would be even more ferocious than the men on this journey of fleeing famine.
"Hehe, October, what are you doing? I'm your father."
How could Li Shiyue tolerate her scumbag father? Even if her grandmother were alive, Li Shiyue would still treat her father with the same disdain.
What are you afraid of?
At this point, there's no need to use a wood-chopping axe to scare her scumbag father. Li Shiyue clenching her fist and taking a step forward is enough to make him take two steps back.
Li Shiyue didn't respond to her scumbag father's words at all. However, Li's mother didn't want Li Shiyue to have a conflict with her father, so she gently called out to Li Shiyue, "Shiyue, it's okay."
Li Shiyue then stepped aside, and Li's mother stepped forward, frowning as she asked Li's father, "We have already divorced. It's clearly written in the divorce agreement that you didn't want Shitou or Shiyue; they stayed with me."
Wangming has a grudge against you for losing your mother, and Uncle Youfu has agreed that once Wangming settles down in Andong, he will separate from you.
Now, what business do you have with us?
Every word Li's mother said struck at the heart of Li's father's death. Any man with a modicum of backbone would have simply snorted and turned away.
But Li's father could do something like pushing his own mother down for gold and silver. What kind of person with backbone is this scumbag?
Li Shiyue was certain that her father wouldn't just turn around and leave. After all, when her father killed Qin Tao's unborn child, Li Shiyue knew this day would come.
Does Li's father like Qin Tao?
I think I like it.
But a scumbag like Li's father only likes and loves himself the most. Everyone else, including his biological parents and brothers, his wife with whom he shares a bed, his lover with whom he has an affair, and his own children, are just things that can be used in the eyes of such a scumbag.
Seeing that he couldn't get what he wanted most from Qin Tao—a "healthy son"—and had offended Qin Tao and her family of three, the scumbag father would naturally turn back to Li's mother.
However, Li Shiyue only guessed that her father would restrain himself from trying to please her mother, but she never expected that he would go to such lengths.
What did Li's father do?
After Li's mother finished speaking, he not only cried with a heartbroken expression, but also knelt down right in front of her!
Yes, that scumbag dad has fallen for him yet again!
Li Shiyue felt a surge of emotions. She watched her father's performance with a sullen face, thinking that he truly deserved to be called a scumbag who could sleep with Qin Tao. His ability to kneel down and shed tears at the drop of a hat was truly top-notch.
Li's mother's face darkened, and Li Wangming stared in disbelief. Although Li Wangming had already dispelled any superstitions about his father as the eldest brother, he never imagined that his father would actually kneel down and cry on the boat, with so many people watching.
The sound of "slap, slap" rang out one after another. Yes, Li's father was slapping himself, one slap after another, in a very regular and rhythmic manner.
Li's father's performance was quite a spectacle, and those who were already paying attention to Li Shiyue's family could now openly get closer to watch.
Li Shiyang noticed this as well. He got up and was about to speak to Li Youfu when Li Youfu waved his hand at him helplessly, saying, "Keep an eye on things, don't cause any trouble."
When Li Shiyang walked over, both sides of Li's father's face were already bright red, with very obvious handprints on his face.
Li Shiyue truly admired her father; he was quite impressive to be able to put on such a show.
Presumably, Li's father felt that there were enough onlookers, so he stopped and, with a tearful look on his face, shouted to Li's mother, who had a dark expression, "Chunniang, I was wrong, it's all my fault!"
I was blinded by lard, I was delirious, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry!
Chunniang, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me!
I promise I will change. I will change from now on. I really swear!
I swear, I, Li Wangguang, will treat you well from now on and will listen to you in everything. We only need Shitou for October. I don't need another son. Shitou is perfect.
Chunniang, if I ever treat you badly in the future, may God strike me dead with lightning!
I swear, Chunniang, I'll change. I promise I'll treat you well!
