"I'm still your father." Li Hongwei said angrily.
Li Yutong nodded: "We are a family. You are my father and she is my mother. If the family is broken up by someone else, I may not be a mother or a father anymore."
When Li Yutong wants to make people angry, she can be very powerful.
Isn't this the same as saying that if her mother marries someone else in the future, she will have a stepfather and she will have to call that other man dad. If her father marries another woman, she will have to call that other woman mom as well?
Li Hongwei was so angry that he wanted to slap her twice: "You want to be beaten too!"
Li Yutong turned and left.
Li Hongwei was furious. Today, not only his wife dared to compete with him, but even his daughter dared to give him a cold look: "Get out of here! Don't think you are so great just because you make a little money. I am your father. I won't starve to death without the money you make!"
Li Yutong felt heartbroken. She just thought that if that woman really had that idea, would her father really dare to divorce her mother?
By the time she got on her bicycle and rode back to the county town, Li Yutong couldn't calm down for a long time.
From childhood to adulthood, she and her sister Li Yuhan grew up in this highly repressive living environment. Li Hongwei had a bad temper and was the leader in the family. When eating, the chopsticks had to be handed to him before he started eating. If he was not satisfied, he would hit people.
Her mother was beaten countless times by him in front of her and Li Yuhan.
She and Li Yuhan were often beaten, and the consequence was that she didn't want to get married when she grew up, and she wanted to marry someone with a good temper, so she found a man who had nothing good except his good temper.
Her sister Li Yuhan was scolded by her father Li Hongwei since she was a child, saying that she was as stupid as a pig and could not accomplish anything. When she grew up, she found a man who was a little bit nice to her and she was very moved.
Because she felt that she was useless, how could someone like her? As a result, after getting married, she repeated the life of their mother Liu Lanxiang. She was also abused by her husband and could not get a divorce. Finally, she took out a fruit knife and fought with her husband. Only then did her life become peaceful.
The shadow of their original family made the sisters never find their own happiness in their entire lives. The younger sister Li Yuhan was very easily deceived. She completely felt that all men were not good. When you think he is okay, it is because his interests have not been touched and he has not revealed his true colors to you.
What is the relationship between biological parents and their children?
She couldn't think of it, but she knew that not all parents loved their children unconditionally.
Take her father and her mother for example, there is love, but not much.
It would be better if there was no such thing at all, so that she could be more ruthless and decisive. It's not like now. If she doesn't care about it, they will remember her as their daughter. If she cares about it, sometimes they do things that make her feel heartbroken.
For example, her mother, doesn’t she know that if she comes back and goes against her father, her father will beat her?
She knew, and she probably felt that if two people resisted together, and someone could accompany her to be beaten together, she would not be so lonely and pitiful.
If it was her, when she had a child, she would try to avoid her even when quarreling with a man, for fear of bringing psychological trauma to the child, and do her best to let her grow up carefree. Her mother never considered her feelings, and always made herself feel better first.
When she was a child, others would buy delicious food for their children when they went to the market, but she was reluctant to do so and did not buy any for her two daughters. One time, when she really wanted to eat something and her family could afford it, she was a little upset.
Her mother said, "These two dollars are for my haircut. If you want to eat, I won't cut your hair and will give you buns instead."
At that moment, she felt that she had gone too far. She used the money her mother used to cut her hair to eat buns, but she refused to eat them. So, her mother cut her hair.
When Li Yutong was almost reaching the county town, she finally stopped. In the small ditch nearby, many parents were playing with their children on the stones on the water.
This place has nice scenery. It is very close to the county town and the water on the river beach is very shallow. People play here all year round.
Gloomy emotions make people feel as heavy as carrying a huge rock, while cheerful emotions can also make people feel relaxed.
She simply put away her bicycle, walked down to the river bank, and sat on a rock to play in the water.
Just as she picked up a smooth stone, she was suddenly stunned. She saw a familiar person, in his early twenties, who was playing in the water with two or three young people of the same age. There was also a boy of four or five years old beside him.
Li Yutong suddenly felt even worse.
Isn’t this her husband Guo Zhihao from her previous life? Look at the little boy he is holding. After carefully examining his features, she realized that it was definitely her eldest sister’s eldest son. When she married Guo Zhihao, the child had already graduated from junior high school.
She immediately got up and left. The engagement in her previous life ended in divorce, which was certainly not a pleasant memory.
When Guo Zhihao turned around, he saw a figure walking up the hill towards the road. The girl was pretty, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. He had a good memory and remembered Li Yutong's appearance almost immediately.
Guo Zhihao stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school. He has been living a lazy life for the past few years. Sometimes he followed this relative to learn how to be a cook, sometimes he followed this relative to learn how to drive. He was always inconsistent and didn't accomplish anything. Now he is old enough, and his family has started to worry about his marriage again.
Li Yutong returned to her grandmother Chen Xiaoying's restaurant, and business was as stable as ever.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Chen Xiaoying went upstairs with her to talk. Business was good, so they renovated the small room upstairs and turned it into an office.
"What's going on? Didn't your mother tell you to go back to work? Why are you back at this time?"
The granddaughter is a diligent and capable person. Since she was five or six years old, whenever she was able to move, she was ordered by the eldest daughter-in-law to do work. During the busy farming season, she would be taken to the wheat fields in the middle of the night to cut wheat, saying that the less wheat she cut, the less she would have to cut.
Having endured hardships and hardship since childhood, Chen Xiaoying was extremely distressed in her previous life.
Li Yutong told her about what happened at home.
"What's that woman's name? Where is she from? Did your mother tell you? Why did she come to your house to do farm work?" Chen Xiaoying subconsciously felt that this woman had come with bad intentions. From what her granddaughter said, she looked like a woman who had "lived a life of luxury" and had never endured hardship. It was not right for a woman who had never worked to go to the countryside to work as a hired laborer.
"I've asked around. They say her name is Kou Yajuan. Her family lives in Xiaohe Town. Her husband died early, and I don't know anything more about her. Grandma, I think we should find someone to find out more about her. Otherwise, she can really separate my parents." Li Yutong frowned.
Having come across a group of loan sharks in Laowagou Village before, she was afraid of coming into contact with a female swindler who was also in the dark and specialized in deceiving people's feelings. Even if she didn't become her stepmother, it would also leave an irreparable rift in her parents' marriage. Even if they didn't divorce, they would have a thorn in their hearts and it would be difficult for them to live a peaceful life.
"Xiaohe Town, let me think about it and see if there is anyone I know." Chen Xiaoying also felt that she had to find out the origins of this woman.
