Seeing this, Li Hongyan was about to cry.

Li Pingwang was also very sad: "Hongyan, it's not that Dad doesn't want to tell you, it's, it's about this, I really don't know how to tell you."

Judging from her father's tone, her guess was correct. Li Hongyan said hurriedly, "Dad, just tell me. I'm already over 40 years old. Are you hiding this from me until you die? I will die with regret."

Speaking of death.

Li Hongyan couldn't help but feel resentful towards her father Li Pingwang, who had kept it a secret from her for most of his life. He was already so old, and he was about to step into the coffin, but he didn't want to tell her anything. When he died, she would never know her true life story.

"dad!"

She was so angry that she shouted angrily.

Li Pingwang sighed. Now that things had come to this, he was forced to answer like this and there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

So, Li Hongyan knew what happened forty years ago.

At that time, her biological mother was an educated youth from the provincial capital, which was not far from their place. Some people in Lijia Village were distant relatives of hers, so her family used their connections to write down the location of their going to the countryside here.

When Liang Xiuqing arrived here, apart from the hardship he suffered doing farm work, there was nothing else that happened to him.

Later, she started dating someone, but her boyfriend's family no longer approved of their relationship. However, her biological mother was already pregnant with her and there was no way to abort the baby, so she had no choice but to give birth to her.

But how could her mother, an unmarried girl, give birth to a child? Her father didn't care about her mother's life or death when she was pregnant. Her mother wanted to go back to the city and leave this sad place.

What about the children?

It just so happens that her mother, Chen Xiaoying, is also about to give birth to a baby.

Li Hongyan's hair stood on end when she heard this. She stared at Li Pingwang and asked, "What about the child that Chen Xiaoying gave birth to?"

After knowing that she was indeed not Chen Xiaoying's child, she suddenly called Chen Xiaoying by her name, which sounded very smooth and without any psychological burden. Anyway, she didn't recognize her and she was not her biological mother.

Li Pingwang didn't want to say: "Don't ask this, it has nothing to do with you."

Li Hongyan was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't ask any more questions. She only asked about Liang Xiuqing: "Then what happened? She never asked about me again in these years?"

In her opinion, Liang Xiuqing had no choice but to reject her in the early years. Later, she returned to the city, where people were all rich. Didn't she ever think of finding a way to get her back?

"No." Li Pingwang said bluntly: "It's not easy for her either. Her family is a stepmother. She brought a daughter to marry her father, and her biological father became her stepfather. Later, the two of them gave birth to a son, and her life became difficult..."

Li Hongyan didn't want to hide it anymore. "Dad, that's not right. I asked Pengbo to go there and show me. The village over there was demolished. After the land and house were demolished, they were divided into five- or six-story buildings. They rented these buildings to people who went to work in the city. Right now, the monthly rent is almost more than 10,000 yuan."

"What, so much?" Li Pingwang couldn't imagine that Liang Xiuqing's family was so rich?

If she is so rich, why didn’t she give Hongyan anything over the years?

Li Hongyan thought more than him and asked immediately: "Dad, in all these years, my mom hasn't sent me anything, or money?"

She is so rich.

Li Pingwang looked at her, not knowing what to say, but Li Hongyan had the wrong idea and became unhappy: "Dad, is it true that all the money I've spent over the years is from my real mom?"

Li Pingwang was stunned: "What did you say?"

Li Hongyan thought he spent her money, but he denied it and got furious: "Dad, how could you do such a thing? She owed me this. She gave me things and spent them on me. It was supposed to be her responsibility, but look at what you did. Hongwei and the others all thought I spent your money and they all blamed me. They blamed me for taking advantage of them!"

Li Hongyan was very emotional.

Li Pingwang didn't expect her to come here: "Your mother didn't send you anything..."

But Li Hongyan didn't believe it: "Dad, please don't lie to me. How is this possible?"

Li Pingwang was stunned.

He raised Li Hongyan and had her call him dad for so many years. He worked so hard and was exhausted, but was resented by his other children. But the first thing she said was that all these were given to her by her biological mother?

"No." He explained palely.

Unless Liang Xiuqing comes herself and admits it in person, what can he do if Li Hongyan insists on thinking this way?

"I'm going to find my mom." Li Hongyan called her "Mom" all the time, sounding much more affectionate than when she usually called Chen Xiaoying.

Li Hongyan was thinking about Liang Xiuqing from the perspective of a mother.

He had no choice but to abandon her back then. She was so rich, so of course he sent her some things and asked for money. Li Pingwang didn't admit it, so she had no way to prove that he spent her money.

"Dad, does my mom have anything else left with you? Can you show it to me?" she asked.

Li Pingwang had no choice but to go back into the house to find it for her.

But when he reached for the compartment with his deft hands to get his handkerchief, he found nothing.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out all the debris inside and searched again and again, but still couldn't find it.

"The thing is missing." He said palely.

This has been his dream for years. Who, who stole it?

Li Hongyan looked at Li Pingwang suspiciously: "Dad, are you lying to me?"

"No, how could I lie to you?" Li Pingwang was extremely anxious.

Li Hongyan saw that her father was anxious. If her father had any ulterior motives, she could see through it at a glance. It seemed that he had really been robbed and disappeared.

"Dad, is it money?"

In Li Hongyan's eyes, there is only money.

Li Pingwang was so angry that he slammed the table: "You only know how to ask for money, money, inside are some letters between me and your mother!"

"Who on earth stole my things?"

Li Hongyan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's in the letter?"

Then I started to doubt who would steal such things. Thieves steal things just to steal money.

So, there's actually money in there?

"Dad, don't hide it from me. How much money is in there?" She was mentally prepared. If the money was not much, then forget it, because she couldn't get it back anyway.

But if there is more, she has to ask her father to give it back to her.

She had a hard life, with three sons to support. Now that she has a rich mother, she will definitely have an easier life in the future.

Her mother can collect more than 10,000 yuan in rent a month, but she can't even earn 3,000 yuan in a year working in the village.

Li Pingwang couldn't find the thing, and looked everywhere anxiously, but he really couldn't find it.

He couldn't find it and was dumbfounded.

"How much is it? If there is more, we have to report to the police and get the money back." Seeing her father's reaction, Li Hongyan couldn't help but get anxious too.

Her father would be so anxious only because she lost a lot of money, right?

Look at it, I'm totally stunned.
