"I'm sorry, Qingchen, you must be blaming me to death!"
"I'm useless. Back then, you asked me to take you away, but I didn't dare. I was a coward. I didn't have the courage. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to raise you well, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to raise our child well."
"Qingchen, I really deserve to die."
"Actually, the person who will die the fastest is me, not you!"
Li Mingzhi knelt before Xiaorou's mother's grave, feeling guilty and weeping bitterly. But no matter how many tears he shed, it was useless. Everyone knew that the dead could not be brought back to life, and Xiaorou's mother had been dead for many years and had long since turned into a pile of bones.
evening.
Li Mingzhi returned home.
The woman had already returned home from school and was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his wife. It was unknown what the mother and daughter were discussing. Judging from their expressions, they had probably been discussing it for a long time. When they saw Li Mingzhi coming back, they stopped and their faces looked unhappy.
"How dare you come back? Didn't you go to see your precious daughter? Li Mingzhi, Li Mingzhi, you are quite capable! You actually have such a big daughter. If you hadn't come to our house today, how long did you plan to hide it from us?" The lady began to scold Li Mingzhi again.
Li Mingzhi lowered his head and said nothing. This family had no say in the first place.
"Li Mingzhi, aren't you very capable? If you are so capable, why did you come back? Go find your precious daughter. It shouldn't be a problem for her to raise you!" The lady deliberately provoked Li Mingzhi with words. She knew that Li Mingzhi was a coward. He had allowed himself to be beaten and scolded for so many years, and he never fought back or retaliated. The lady also responded without hesitation. She had gotten used to it over the years.
"I have just explained this matter to you. I was also surprised by Mengmeng's sudden appearance. I always thought that she... If you insist on embarrassing me with this matter in front of my daughter, then I have nothing to say." Li Mingzhi was a little angry today.
He even spoke in a tough tone. In front of his wife and daughter, he dared to speak in such a sharp tone. He really didn't know his place.
"Oh, so it seems that I have wronged you? Do you still want me to apologize to you?" The lady slapped the table. She was already angry enough today, and now Li Mingzhi wanted to contradict her in front of her. This made her even more angry and he wanted to make her angry to death!
"Haven't you wronged me enough over the years? There's no need to apologize. If there's nothing else, I'll go up first." Li Mingzhi said lightly. He didn't want to argue, and he knew he would never win an argument.
"Stop." The lady stood up immediately.
She walked over and stopped Li Mingzhi: "What did they say when they asked you to go out just now? You must tell me the truth. If I find out that you are hiding any secrets, you know what I will do."
"She didn't say anything. Mengmeng just told me that she was getting married and hoped I could attend." Li Mingzhi did not hide anything.
He felt that it was normal for his daughter to get married. As Mengmeng's father, he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, but he had to attend his daughter's wedding, otherwise he would be too sorry for Mengmeng.
"No, you can't go. I won't allow this." The lady refused directly without even asking Li Mingzhi's opinion.
Even his daughter came over and said, "Dad, you really shouldn't have gone. Don't let that woman take advantage of you. Why didn't she ask you for help before? Now that she's getting married, she's asking you for money for her wedding. Why would you recognize a daughter like that?"
"That's right, our daughter is smart. A pig-brained person like you will be killed sooner or later. This is a trap. I know at a glance that those two girls are not good people. Such people must not be dealt with. You are not allowed to go." The lady said again.
The mother and daughter sang in harmony, and what they said was really better than what they sang.
"That's my daughter. I didn't even attend her wedding. How could this happen?" Li Mingzhi was anxious.
He would definitely go, and he was also prepared to give gifts, but he didn't have much money on hand. He had originally wanted to ask his wife for some money, but now that things had turned out like this, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get the money.
"I said no, and that means no. Li Mingzhi, listen to me, if you must attend her wedding, then go out this door and don't come back. Don't blame me for not warning you. I'm not kidding you this time." After the lady said this, she pulled her daughter upstairs.
The mother and daughter walked upstairs together, talking loudly. Li Mingzhi could hear it clearly in the living room!
"Mom, you have to keep a close eye on Dad recently. It would be terrible if he took the family money and gave it to someone outside without your knowledge. Don't let Dad do anything rash. I feel like he has become soft-hearted." The daughter held her mother's hand.
"I am good at dealing with your father. He wouldn't dare to take my money casually." said the lady.
"Then you still have to be careful. By the way, Mom, a classmate of mine has a birthday tomorrow, and everyone needs to prepare birthday gifts. I have no money, so you can help me a little." The daughter stretched out her little hand.
"How much?" asked the lady.
"Just give a few tens of thousands! But it can't be too little. If you buy the gift cheaply, it won't be presentable." said the daughter.
Li Mingzhi listened downstairs, his heart filled with rage, his fists clenched tightly. He just wanted to give his daughter a dowry, but even giving a gift was so difficult, and he was not even allowed to attend.
But this daughter of hers spent tens of thousands of dollars on a classmate's birthday. Haha, he really has no status in this family!
