Chapter 198 Listening to Stories
After Liu Qianqian welcomed Wang Yuanchao to her courtyard, she asked Wang Yuanchao to sit on a chair in the courtyard and made him a cup of tea.
He let Wang Susu cook in the kitchen while he sat next to Wang Yuanchao and chatted with him.
"Captain, I invited you to dinner today because I have something to tell you.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you the right and wrong of this matter."
Wang Yuanchao is in a very good mood now. He never meddles in other people's affairs and never takes on tasks for himself. So when Liu Qianqian wants to talk, Wang Yuanchao doesn't stop her and just treats it as listening to a story.
"Haha, Liu Zhiqing, you are just making up stories for me.
It’s okay, you talk and I’ll listen.”
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao looked fine, with a smile on his gentle face, Liu Qianqian said, "Master, my mother used to be a lady from a wealthy family. Then the war came, and my mother's family left and scattered. In the end, only a small number of people were left in the entire family, and they lived in Shanghai.
My grandfather was a capable man. After the Anti-Japanese War, he took my mother with him and used the remaining money in the family as capital.
Doing business in Shanghai, he eventually made some money and had some capital. My father was a refugee who came to Shanghai to make a living. At that time, my grandfather saw that my father was handsome and eloquent, so he took him in to help in my grandfather's store. Later, my father married into my grandfather's family and became a son-in-law.
At that time, China was about to be liberated, and my grandfather decided to take his family and my two uncles to Hong Kong to develop.
My mother happened to be pregnant with me at that time, and my father saw an opportunity to stay in Shanghai and make a name for himself.
So he persuaded my mother to stay in Shanghai.
In the end, my mother stayed in Shanghai for my father and me.
My grandfather took my two uncles and the whole family to Hong Kong to develop their careers.
I left all the business in Shanghai to my mother."
When Wang Yuanchao heard this, it was like listening to a legendary story. This old-fashioned family feud was quite interesting.
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao was listening carefully, Liu Qianqian continued:
"But at that time, my grandfather actually discovered my father's ungrateful character.
I kept persuading my mother to go with me, but my mother was stubborn and didn't listen to my grandfather. In the end, my grandfather still missed my mother.
I secretly left a portion of my property to my mother and found a place to hide it for her.
He also told my mother that it was prepared for me and must be given to me alone after I grew up.
That's why my mother never told my father about this part of the property. With the departure of my grandfather and his family, my mother took over the business and later relied more on my father's ability. This made my father have thoughts that he shouldn't have. Not only did he embezzle the money from my family's store, but in order to leave a bloodline for his Shen family and pass it on, when my grandfather was still alive, he secretly found a woman outside and had children, who were Shen Yifang and her brothers and sisters. Later, in order to openly bring them in, my father secretly gave my mother a chronic poison. Fortunately, my mother discovered it in time and it was not fatal at the time.
It happened that the country was carrying out public-private partnership at that time. My mother hid all the money in the family, and then took the lead in contacting the government with the family shop to participate in the public-private partnership.
At that time, I was only six years old, but I could already remember things.
My mother secretly told me all these things bit by bit.
They hid the family money, the house deeds, my birth registration information and other important things in the place where my grandfather hid things, and only told me. At that time, my mother knew that she was dying, and she repeatedly warned me that even if I died, I must not tell my father about these things, otherwise I would die immediately. So when I was in Shanghai, I had been pretending to be crazy and stupid since I was a child to deal with them. My father and others thought that I didn’t know that Shen Yifang and others were his biological children, and they lied to me that they were step-sons and step-daughters.
Hey, they don't know that my mom told me all this when I was only 6 years old.
But my father and stepmother kept their mouth shut and never told Shen Yifang their true identities.
As a result, it was not enough for them to suppress and scold me at home, they also disliked me and secretly signed me up to go to the countryside.
So I took some cash, household registration information and a certificate of informed consent from the inheritance left by my mother, and went to the countryside and came to the Red Flag Brigade.
I originally thought that I could live a peaceful life here.
Get married, have children and reproduce here.
Unexpectedly, my father and stepmother were so cruel that they actually brought Shen Yifang to the countryside to chase her here.
Just now she wanted to continue suppressing me and scolding me like she did in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Seeing that I ignored her, she got angry and started to hit me. As a result, I and Susu beat her up severely. "
Wang Yuanchao was in a very good mood after hearing such a melodramatic story. He said with a smile, "Then your stepsisters and others have just shot themselves in the foot by letting you go?"
Liu Qianqian found what Wang Yuanchao said funny and she also laughed like a silver bell and said:
"That's right. My classmate sent me a letter saying that after I went to the countryside, my father and stepmother got really angry.
I beat my stepsister and brother so badly that they had to stay in bed for many days and couldn’t get out of bed.”
Wang Yuanchao looked at Liu Qianqian in confusion and asked:
"Your stepsiblings signed you up to go to the countryside. Didn't your dad and stepmom know about it before you went there?"
Liu Qianqian raised her neck and said proudly: "Of course they don't know that after I received the notice to go to the countryside,
I took the information and went to the street office to make a scene because I was not the one who signed up. Later, I negotiated with the street office and they compensated me with the educated youth subsidy and gave me a letter of introduction. I packed my belongings and hid in a guesthouse near the train station for a few days. My stepsiblings saw me running away from home and they didn’t dare to tell the truth to my father and stepmother at first, saying that I went out to collect folk songs with my classmates.
After I went to the countryside, they couldn’t hide it anymore, so I told them.”
Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but think that Liu Qianqian's experience was very similar to his own. They both hid in a guesthouse near the train station to avoid their relatives. Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but sighed:
"Liu Zhiqing, it seems like this is a blessing in disguise for you.
The Red Flag Brigade is a good place, and the country is also vigorously developing it.
If you live well here, you will always have the opportunity to return to Shanghai in the future.
But I personally think that there is no need to have a father like you. You ignored your grandfather's kindness in taking you in and supporting you, and instead married into your family to commit murder and robbery.
For this kind of cruel and ungrateful person, you'd better publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever your father-daughter relationship with him.
Anyway, your household registration has been moved here with the educated youth.
You are an adult now. Your father can influence you morally.
I can no longer interfere with your life."
When Liu Qianqian heard Wang Yuanchao's sympathetic words and suggestions that matched her heart, her defenses were instantly broken.
He started crying loudly, "Wow, wow, wow."
