Chapter 78: Father and stepfather (End)
The incomprehension of his parents made Liu Mingda resent going back to the rental house, and he couldn't help but want to run to Wang Peining's place after get off work. If he didn't go back, he was worried that his parents would have fierce conflicts. If the two got into a fight, if something happened to them, as a son, he would be the one who would suffer. As a last resort, I had no choice but to go back to the rented room.
Back home, he thought he could have a hot meal, but facing the cold pot and cold stove, he was extremely bored. In the past, my father was not doing his job properly, but now even my mother quit her job. Looking at the closed bedroom door, she stood in front of Hu Xialan's door and knocked.
After a few minutes, Hu Xialan's eyes were dull, she quietly opened the door, looked at Liu Mingda outside the door, she smiled and asked: "Mingda is off work, what do you like to eat, I'll make it for you. You Is Dad going to play chess again? Go and call him and ask him to come back and cook for me."
Liu Mingda frowned, feeling that his mother's expression didn't seem right at this time, he asked, "Isn't my dad in the next room?"
Hu Xialan blinked and laughed at herself. It turned out that it was a dream. She thought she and Han Ze were not divorced. She looked at Liu Mingda calmly: "Mingda, your father wants to remarry me, what's your opinion?"
Liu Mingda was taken aback for a moment, his mother's question was too sudden, he didn't know how to answer at all.
Hu Xialan mocked: "What? Is it hard to answer?"
Liu Mingda found that his parents often made him powerless. He said: "Mom, whatever you think in your heart, you can do it. There is no need to ask for my opinion. No matter what, I will support you."
Hu Xialan suddenly burst into tears, her eyes were red, and she shouted hysterically: "I will not remarry your father even if I die."
Liu Mingda said in a deep voice: "No one asked you to remarry him. He's out of prison and has nowhere to go, so he just lives here temporarily."
Hu Xialan sniffed, she grabbed Liu Mingda's arm tightly: "Mingda, I want to move out, you can rent another house for me, I don't want to live with Liu Bingshen."
Liu Mingda was so impatient, he said with a stern face: "Mom, the rent for this house is more than 1,000, if you rent another house, it will cost more than 1,000, and the rent will be more than 3,000, plus living expenses, I don't need to save money." I bought a house. Ming Kai is also working now, you can ask him to send you some money, you can’t ask me to pay for everything.”
Speaking of Liu Mingkai, Hu Xialan seemed to have discovered the dawn, her eyes were slightly bright, and if she wanted to get rid of Liu Bingshen, she had better leave this city and go to Mingkai, no matter whether he was filial or not, she was his mother, so he had to take care of him.
Hu Xialan looked at Liu Mingda and said, "I'm going to Xiashi to find Ming Kai, and you will send me there tomorrow."
Liu Mingda wanted to say that he had to go to work tomorrow, then thought about it, and said: "Okay, the weekend after tomorrow, I will take a day off tomorrow and take you there." After he finished speaking, he looked around, then remembered Liu Bingshen, and asked: "Where's my dad?"
Hu Xialan shook her head, and said angrily: "How would I know, maybe I've gone fooling around again."
Liu Mingda pursed his lips and said, "It's getting late, cook some noodles and eat whatever you want."
Thinking of going to the younger son's place and then being able to get rid of Liu Bingshen, Hu Xialan saw that Liu Mingda was also in a good mood, and she said, "Okay, just wait, it will be ready soon."
After dinner, Hu Xialan started to pack her luggage, and Liu Mingda called Liu Mingkai. Although Liu Mingkai didn't want his mother to disturb him, it was his own mother after all, so he couldn't leave it alone, so he had no choice but to agree.
In the morning, Hu Xialan went out to buy breakfast. After eating, the mother and son hailed a truck and went to Xiashi. Liu Bingshen didn't come back for two days and spent all the money in his pocket. He finally went back to the rental house and saw that the house was empty, and Hu Xialan had moved all his things away.
He was furious, picked up the new mobile phone Liu Mingda bought for him, dialed Liu Mingda, and asked, "Do you know that your mother ran away?"
Liu Mingda was on his way back from Xiashi, when he received a call from Liu Bingshen, his face darkened: "Dad, you and Mom divorced, she didn't want to be entangled with you, and moved to Mingkai's place. As for you, you live in In the rented room."
Liu Bingshen asked gloomyly, "What about you?"
Liu Mingda said without thinking, "I live at Pei Ning's place."
Liu Bingshen said angrily, "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Liu Mingda pursed his lips and said, "Dad, I will give you living expenses."
Liu Bingshen crossed his legs, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and said with a smile, "Okay, I've run out of money, give me another two thousand yuan."
Liu Mingda said angrily, "It's only been a few days of work, and the two thousand yuan has been used up?"
Liu Bingshen leaned on the sofa and said in an extremely rascally way: "I don't care, you give me the money immediately, otherwise you should know what I will do."
Liu Mingda clenched his fists bitterly, he endured it, and said, "I'll give it to you right away when I go back."
Liu Bingshen smiled triumphantly. When he got the money, he didn't see anyone for a few days, so repeatedly, in just two months, he asked Liu Mingda for nearly 20,000 yuan, but Liu Mingda was hindered by his threats, and it was his His biological father, he can do nothing but give him money.
Seeing that the position of manager was about to be fulfilled, he suddenly received a call from the police station. His father, Liu Bingshen, had been arrested for hiding drugs.
Liu Mingda only felt his head pounding and his eyes went dark.
In a blink of an eye, a few years passed, and many things happened during this period. Han Feiyu got married and had a child, and Han Shutao still had no idea of a partner. Han Ze didn't want to control her in this aspect, after all, he didn't know that after she got married, she would be able to live happily ever after.
On this day, Han Ze took his grandson to play in the park. He was playing ball with his grandson when a hesitant voice came from beside him.
"Uncle Han?"
Han Ze turned his head, slightly surprised: "Wang Peining?"
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a little girl over one year old standing beside her, apparently Wang Peining's daughter.
Noticing his gaze, Wang Peining smiled and picked up the girl, saying, "Uncle Han, this is my daughter."
Han Ze smiled and nodded. Wang Peining wanted to say something else, a man walked over, he glanced at Han Ze, and said gently: "Give me my daughter, you can rest for a while."
The little girl called out to her father, and obediently lay on the man's body.
Han Ze raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Wang Peining was not married to Liu Mingda. The couple, who had been in love for more than ten years, finally parted ways under the cruel reality.
"grandfather."
Han Ze turned his head and saw his grandson calling him, he smiled and said, "I'll take a step first."
Wang Peining smiled and said, "Okay. Goodbye, Uncle Han."
Han Ze led his little grandson out of the park. Wang Pei stared at his back and shook his head. She didn't expect to see Uncle Han here. She felt that it was a matter of her previous life. After all, she hadn't seen Liu Knowing that, I don't know where he went. According to his former assistant, he went to a mountain village to teach.
However, no matter where he went, she is now married and has children, and has nothing to do with him.
One day, Han Ze was accompanying his little grandson to do his homework. The little grandson’s mother was sitting next to her and watching the news on a tablet. She suddenly said indignantly, “It’s true that everything can happen. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their grandson to the supermarket, and the grandson was smashed by a durian. The daughter-in-law feels distressed.” The child, vent your anger on the mother-in-law, resenting the mother-in-law for not taking good care of the child, the two quarreled, fought in the supermarket, overturned the shelf, and all the goods fell on the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law's brain was blocked, and she was smashed Paralyzed."
Han Ze smiled and said nothing. Han Shutao came out of the room yawning. Hearing her words, he said curiously, "Let me see, let me see."
Han Feiyu's wife handed the tablet to Han Shutao, Han Shutao took a look, and she frowned: "Hey, why is this mother-in-law so familiar?"
Han Ze glanced at her, and Han Shutao suddenly said loudly, "Hey, why do you look so much like that woman Hu Xialan? Dad, look..."
Han Ze leaned over to have a look, and it was indeed Hu Xialan. His complexion was a bit complicated. In his previous life, he was pushed downstairs by Liu Bingshen and fell into a paralysis. In this life, Hu Xialan became paralyzed because of fighting with his daughter-in-law. Does that count as retaliation?
A few years later, Han Shutao suddenly announced that she was going to get married. She was almost forty years old at this time. Han Ze met the man. He was an honest and honest high school teacher. He is no longer here, has a house, no car, although he does not earn as much money as Shu Tao, but he is very caring and considerate to Shu Tao.
Han Ze, the father, was surprised when he saw him, and finally he was relieved.
In the previous life, these two children, after hearing about the death of the original body, suspected that there was something wrong with their father's death, and they kept fighting with the Liu family. Although Liu Bingshen was sent to prison again in the end, and Hu Xialan's mother and son were also punished, they also exhausted their energy. The two children rejected marriage from the bottom of their hearts and remained single for a lifetime.
When Han Shutao's child was over two years old, Han Ze closed his eyes.
Although Han Feiyu and Han Shutao were sad, they were not sad either. My father once made a mistake. Although he changed it later and gave them the family property, it seems that his father didn't want to please their siblings, let alone get their forgiveness. He just lived with them peacefully. treat them.
[Congratulations to the tasker for completing one of the tasks: leave the property and house to Han Feiyu and Han Shutao, and get 200 bonus points. Congratulations to the tasker for completing the second task: Divorce Hu Xialan, 200 reward points. Congratulations to the tasker for completing the third task, changing the fate of Han Feiyu, Han Shutao and the original body, rewarding 600 points. 】
Han Ze returned to that strange room again.
[System: Tasker, do you want to arrange the next task? 】
Han Ze nodded, "Let's arrange it."
[System: OK. 】
The screen flashed, and Han Ze was already in another world. He was sleeping on the bed. He opened his eyes and looked around. The time should be morning, the decoration in the room, and the background should be modern. He contacted the system in his mind: Send me your personal memory first."
[System: Alright, tasker. 】
A lot of memories flooded into his mind, Han Ze felt a little uncomfortable, lay flat for a while, sorted out those messy memories, the original body of this world was a retired soldier, a taxi driver, and his only daughter, Han Doudou, traveled abroad after graduating from university, by the way Visiting Xu Yining, a good friend studying abroad.
When returning to China, Xu Yining asked her to bring gifts to domestic friends. The two are high school classmates and they have a close relationship. With Han Doudou's trust in Xu Yining, she didn't even look at the things Xu Yining asked her to bring, but she put them in the suitcase without looking at them, but when she checked at the airport, she found out that there were Drugs, the evidence is solid, even if Han Doudou argues that it is not her thing, it is useless, and he has been in prison for many years because of it, wasting all his good times in prison.
During the years when Han Doudou was imprisoned, the original body found many things. The reason why Xu Yining harmed Han Doudou was because the boy she liked didn't like her, but liked Han Doudou instead. Xu Yining hated Han Doudou and tried to destroy her.
The original body has several wishes, the most important wish is that Han Doudou can see the true colors of Xu Yining and his group, draw a clear line with them, keep a vigilant heart towards them, and not be harmed by them without knowing it.
After knowing the general situation, Han Ze sat up, opened the bedroom door, and walked out.
This weekend, in the living room, Han Doudou was sitting on the sofa and waiting for Han Ze to wake up. When she saw Han Ze come out, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, you finally woke up. Give me a thousand dollars. My sneakers are broken." , I’ll go buy shoes later.”
"One thousand dollars?"
Han Ze's face darkened, and he shouted, "You are a student, what are you doing with such expensive sneakers?"
Han Doudou pouted: "Every pair of Xu Yining's sneakers cost more than one thousand, and I never bought them."
Han Ze sat on the sofa and said righteously: "You are a student, and your main purpose is to study. To compare is to compare your academic performance with your classmates, not to compare whose clothes and shoes are more expensive. That is of no use to you."
Han Doudou's face was full of stubbornness, and she said with red eyes: "Study and study, all day long is not only study but also study. Can't you say anything else? Xu Yining asked her mother for money to buy shoes, and her mother gave it without saying a word. How can you be like you?" There are a lot of reasons for stingy Barra."
Han Ze frowned, and asked her in a deep voice, "I remember that Xu Yining studied better than you, right?"
Han Doudou turned his face away and remained silent.
Han Ze looked at her and said, "You compare me with Xu Yining's mother, why don't you compare your academic performance with Xu Yining's? Don't you often tell me that everyone is equal and should respect each other, even if you are my daughter , I can’t disregard your wishes and take care of you. Since we are all equal, you should also make your academic performance equal to others.”
Han Doudou turned around abruptly, accusing him angrily, "You are making too much sense."
Han Ze had a serious face and said seriously: "I am not making excuses. Rights and obligations are mutual. You have the right to make demands on me, but as my daughter, you are also obliged to fulfill my demands. Equality and mutual respect are As you said, if you fail to fulfill your obligations, then I can take back your rights at any time, otherwise it will destroy the principles of equality and mutual respect."
Han Doudou wrinkled her nose, turned her eyes slightly, looked at Han Ze, and asked, "What do you mean by a long-winded push?"
Han Ze said calmly: "A pair of shoes is only 1,000 yuan. Although it is expensive, it is not unaffordable. At worst, you can save some money this month. As long as you can meet my requirements, I can buy them for you."
Han Doudou said reluctantly: "I knew you were not that easy to talk to. Xu Yining is one of the top students in our school. How can I be equal to her with my grades? Even if I work hard right away, I can't catch up with her."
Han Ze raised his eyebrows and said, "I know that with your current grades, it is impossible to catch up with Xu Yining. I didn't ask you to meet this requirement immediately."
Han Doudou said: "Dad, I don't think no matter how long it takes, I won't be able to catch up with Xu Yining."
Han Ze sighed and looked at her: "Doudou, since you can say this, why can't you understand that Dad didn't buy you such expensive sneakers?"
Han Doudou pouted: "What does this have to do with buying shoes?"
Han Ze said: "It is very difficult for you to improve your academic performance, but for me, no matter when I buy a pair of sports shoes for a thousand yuan, I will not give up. I only spend a few thousand yuan a month, except for you How much money do you have left? You have your difficulties, and your father also has his difficulties. If you can’t understand me, how can you expect me to understand you? After all, respect is mutual , understanding is also mutual.”
Han Doudou hung her head and said nothing. She knew that it was difficult for her father to earn money, but all these years she only wanted to buy a pair of better sneakers.
Han Ze looked at her, and his tone slowed down: "You are my daughter. Even if I can't meet your requirements, I will try my best to help you meet them. It's just a pair of sneakers. But you, you can also meet mine request?"
Han Doudou's eyes were red: "But it's okay for me to improve a few places in my grades. It's really difficult to catch up with Xu Yining. Your requirements are too high."
Han Ze looked at him sternly: "It's not that you have to catch up with Xu Yining in grades, your teacher told me that you often go out to play games with Xu Yining's friends, don't you?"
Han Doudou pursed her lips tightly. She didn't expect the teacher to tell her father about it.
Han Ze said in a deep voice: "Xu Yining's grades are so good, she didn't go out to play games, your grades are average, but you still play games with her friends, aren't you friends? Why can't you study with her? When you buy things, you go out to play games with her." Comparing."
Han Doudou was a little ashamed, she hung her head and said nothing.
Han Ze looked at her and said seriously, "As long as you promise me that you won't go out to play games with them, and you won't go out with them anymore, I can buy you shoes."
Han Doudou immediately said: "Dad, they are my friends, how could I not go out with them? Don't you think such a request is unreasonable?"
Han Ze said blankly: "I don't think this request is unreasonable. If they were your friends, they wouldn't force you to play games with them and affect your studies. Besides, they are children of rich families, and they spend money like running water. Some The activity is not suitable for you, so avoid it if you can, so as not to develop vanity under the influence of what you hear and see."
Han Doudou argued: "When did I develop vanity?"
Han Ze glanced at her: "In my opinion, it is vanity to compare the quality of clothes and shoes with others."
Han Doudou didn't speak again.
Han Ze asked again: "Can you agree to this request?"
Han Doudou pouted, and she said, "It's only a thousand dollars, and you actually asked me so much."
Han Ze smiled and said: "You can also make demands on me, we both restrain each other. Don't you dislike me drinking? I can quit drinking."
Han Doudou was taken aback. No one knew better than her how addicted her father was to alcohol, but her father was a driver, so he could only drink during his shifts. He would drink enough that day. She was worried about his health and advised him not to let him drink. When the addiction came, she wouldn't listen at all, and would scold her, she couldn't do anything about it.
She asked incredulously, "Are you really willing to quit drinking?"
Han Ze nodded, with a serious and firm tone: "You know the extent of Dad's alcohol addiction best. But in order for you to stop playing games and affect your studies, Dad is willing to quit drinking. We supervise each other. Do you find this request difficult? "
Han Doudou still didn't believe it, and asked again: "Are you really willing to quit drinking?"
Han Ze promised: "If I say quit drinking, I will stop drinking." After a pause, he continued: "This weekend, you won't go to school, and I won't go to work. Let's start today, how about it?"
Han Doudou frowned, she made an appointment with someone to play games for two hours last night, how could she miss the appointment.
Han Ze spread his hands: "It seems that my daughter doesn't care about my body that much. In her heart, my body is not as important as her game."
Han Doudou immediately said: "How is it possible? I care about your body very much. Isn't it just a game, if you don't play, don't play. If you can quit drinking, I can quit gaming. We supervise each other."
Han Ze smiled, and patted his daughter on the head: "I know my daughter is filial, and I don't want my father to drink to ruin his health."
Han Doudou snorted: "I knew my father was cunning, and even threatened me not to play games with his own body. I am just a caring little padded jacket, but if I am rebellious, I will have the same temper as Tongtong from my aunt's family. This trick of yours It's useless."
Han Ze said gratifiedly, "Doudo, Dad knows you are a good boy, that's why he asks you like this, and at the same time asks himself, father and daughter, we advance and retreat together."
I thought to myself, if you really have the same temper as Yang Tongtong, I will change my method. Children with different personalities must have different educational methods.
The father and daughter were talking when Han Doudou's cell phone rang, and she glanced at Han Ze.
Han Ze said, "Take it."
Han Doudou turned on the phone and saw that it was Xu Yining calling, she smiled and said hello.
Xu Yining on the phone smiled and said, "Doudou, what are you doing at home? Come out and play."
Han Doudou glanced at Han Ze, and said apologetically, "Yining, I'm going to supervise my dad at home today, and you know he likes to drink. I'm afraid he'll get very drunk when I'm not at home."
Xu Yining paused, the smile on her face faded, she continued: "It's your birthday soon, I want to pick a birthday present for you, won't you come?"
Han Doudou felt that a birthday gift was a trivial matter for her father's body. She smiled and said, "You can choose whatever you want. We are friends. It's just a birthday gift. I don't mind."
Xu Yining regretfully said: "I wanted to buy you that dress that you have liked for a long time, but I never thought you would not come to try it on..."
Han Doudou didn't waver when she heard her words. Although her father's words were not pleasant, they were right. Her family background was not good, and she couldn't develop the habit of comparing with others, let alone taking advantage of others. That dress cost more than a thousand dollars. If she really accepted Xu Yining's gift, what would she give back when Xu Yining celebrates her birthday?
She said jokingly: "Just buy me a gift worth tens of dollars. Don't buy it too expensive. I won't take it if it's too expensive."
Xu Yining clenched her phone tightly. When she was making a call, they asked her to put it on speakerphone. They overheard Han Doudou's words. She said unnaturally: "Okay, are you coming out this afternoon? Pan Hao and the others are still waiting to play games with you."
Han Doudou said embarrassingly: "Yining, tell Pan Hao and the others for me that I can't play games with them today. My father doesn't go to work today, so I have to supervise him and not let him drink."
Xu Yining hung up the phone, her eyes fell on the tall and handsome boy among the people in front of her, and said with a smile: "You are right, Doudou is really not a vain girl, don't you think she is willing to accept my expensive gift , so stop talking nonsense."
The others looked at each other, Xu Yining said early in the morning that she was going to buy a gift for Han Doudou, and the few of them rushed to talk, Pan Hao inadvertently mentioned Han Doudou, and said in a very disdainful tone that she was vain and played with them just to see if they had Money, let Xu Yining pay attention.
But He Xinglan said softly: Han Doudou is not that kind of girl, let them stop arranging people behind their backs.
A few people argued, and finally Pan Hao asked Xu Yining to call Han Doudou to see what she said, whether they were rich or not, just try it out.
As a result, Xu Yining called, and Pan Hao and the others were slapped in the face. Han Doudou really likes expensive things, but if he likes it, he likes it. People don't like to take advantage of others, and they don't want to take expensive birthday presents.
Pan Hao said embarrassingly: "My mouth is broken, I apologize."
He Xinglan glanced at him: "It's not me that you should apologize, but Han Doudou."
Xu Yining's face darkened, and she glanced at Pan Hao: "When you go to school tomorrow, you personally apologize to Han Doudou."
Even if Pan Hao was unwilling, but Xu Yining had already spoken, he could only agree, who made him like Xu Yining.
He Xinglan glanced at him and said, "It's nothing, I'll go back."
After speaking, without waiting for a few people to respond, he strode away.
Xu Yining looked at his back and clenched her fists.
Here, Han Doudou hung up the phone, looked at Han Ze and said, "Father, you see I rejected them, and I won't go out to play games with them. So stop drinking."
"I definitely don't drink. I walk the talk."
Han Ze smiled and stood up: "I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth. Let's go out for breakfast, and then I'll take you to buy shoes."
Han Doudou became happy: "Really?"
I didn't expect my father to keep his word. As expected, he is a veteran, and he can do whatever he says.
Han Ze's words came from the bathroom: "Really, it's your birthday present. When it's your birthday, there will be no more presents."
Han Doudou: "..."
She took that sentence back.
