Chapter 106 Li Ting is in trouble again.
It was just that I couldn't get in for ten minutes, and it was always busy!
Li Haitang simply watched tv in the shop for a while. When the news on tv was over, he dialed again. This time, it was Li Jianguo.
"Dad, the line was busy just now. Were you on the phone?"
Li Jianguo's voice was a little tired and a little hoarse. "Yes, jian hong called this afternoon. I just called her back and said something."
"Oh, what's the matter over there?" Li Haitang had a hunch that there was nothing good about Li Jianhong calling.
Sure enough, Li Jianguo sighed heavily and told her bad news. "It was Li Ting who caused trouble again."
"Ah? She's the one... What kind of trouble did she get into if she didn't rest at home?" Li Haitang frowned. With Li Tao's connections, they probably wouldn't leave her alone if she had something to do.
Exhausted, Li Jianguo took the cigarette from Li Yuanhua, took a deep breath, and exhaled a white mist. "It's all Deng Wenfang's fault. After Li Ting was picked up that day, deng wenli sent her back to the small house that the Deng family had bought for Deng Wenfang in the town earlier. Deng Wenfang himself went over and beat Li Ting up as soon as he went. He also went to have a fight with the gangsters she had mixed up with. She was a brainless person who made the whole town aware of it in less than half a day. Li Ting has been hit repeatedly, and she's not in a good mood. Plus, Deng Wenfang doesn't persuade her and scolds her every day for hitting her. She probably can't stand it anymore. She chases Deng Wenfang with a knife and cuts all over the street."
Li Haitang's pupils shrank. This was really the demeanor of the deng family. If anything went wrong, they would chase after them with knives.
"The mother and daughter had a terrible fight, and it was only when the passers-by on the street couldn't stand it that they stopped them. Deng Wenfang also got angry and stayed in the county hospital for five days before she stabilized. Yesterday, the lantern festival was on the fifteenth of the first month. She went to see Li Ting again and said that she would not care about her anymore. She sent her back to zhu qiang's house. And Zhu Qiang just got married to his ex-wife a few days ago, and the two of them were beaten up by Zhu Qiang as soon as they went over. They lost five hundred dollars and sent them away. They threatened to break their legs if they went over again."
Li Haitang really wanted to make two chuckles. The wild man that Deng Wenfang liked was such a heartless person. She had such a good eye.
"The contractor is determined not to accept Li Ting, and neither is Zhu Qiang. The Deng family no longer cares about the lives of their mother and daughter, leaving them to fend for themselves. Deng Wenfang had no fixed place to live and could not afford to support Li Ting. Later, he let Li Ting live in that little punk's house and let his family take responsibility. He got married and drank directly. When he was old, he went to get his marriage certificate. Li Ting didn't want to go anywhere and wanted to live in a small house in town. Deng Wenfang said that the house was for the baby in his stomach, which aroused the hatred in Li Ting's heart." When Li Jianguo talked about this, his heart went cold.
Hatred!
Li Haitang frowned and asked anxiously, "Li Ting, what did she do?"
"Hey, she went to the county town yesterday afternoon, and somehow she bought a lot of rat poison and gunoil. She threw the rat poison into zhu qiang's water tank and set fire to the small house where their mother and daughter lived in in the middle of the night." Li Jianguo really didn't know where she learned this method. At such a young age, her mind was so vicious that she felt a chill on her back.
"Oh my god, did that kill anyone?"
Li Haitang's heart trembled. Li Ting used to be a little bitter and mean, but he still wouldn't do anything that would kill him. It was just two years ago, and it was incredible.
"Zhu Qiang's whole family was poisoned. Fortunately, they were treated in time and didn't kill anyone, but the whole family had to stay in the hospital for a week. Deng Wenfang's house was completely burned down, and when she escaped, she was hit in the leg by the roof beam. The child she had just saved was lost, and her leg was broken. I heard it was quite serious, and she might even be disabled." Li Jianguo had no sympathy for Deng Wenfang at all. This woman deserved it, and she deserved it.
"I wish I didn't kill anyone. Where's Li Ting?" Poisoning, arson, and solid evidence. Either way, she would probably have to be locked up.
"Ah, she's still standing there like nothing happened, waiting for the police to come over. She didn't hide her motive for revenge at all. It's a pity that things didn't work out. She was taken away and locked up in the middle of the night yesterday." No matter what, he had raised his daughter under his nose for so many years. How could Li Jianguo not have any feelings for her? He had to take some responsibility for her situation.
It seemed that she knew the consequences and was going to do something ruthless. She didn't know how that woman, Deng Wenfang, forced her to take risks.
Li Haitang sighed deeply. "She confessed to it herself. Although she was a minor, it was because of Zhu Qiang and Deng Wenfang, the bad parents, but it was inevitable to be sentenced."
"Yes. After Taoer learned about this today, he rode his bicycle alone and didn't come back at night. I just asked jianhong to take care of him for the night. I'll go over tomorrow and take a look." With Li Tao as his son, it was impossible to completely separate himself from the other side no matter what. Li Jianguo had to swallow the uncomfortable fly.
"Dad, this must have been a huge impact on him. You should persuade him to spend more time with him at home. I'll call him back tomorrow night to talk to him." Li Haitang felt that it was really hard for Deng Wenfang and Li Ting to die like this, Li Tao. With such a mother and sister, his future would be affected in the future. It was fortunate that he had nothing to do with them now.
Li Jianguo flicked the end of his cigarette irritably. He answered and remembered something. "By the way, haitang, did you call back today because the store is too busy?"
"No, there's not much going on in the store these days. Uncle liu and Sister liu can handle it. Uncle liu asked when you were coming today, so I called to ask."
Li Jianguo finished his last puff of smoke, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped it out, and puffed out a mouthful of smoke accompanied by a closed mouth. "The house is almost done. Yuanhua and the rest of them went to the cement factory today. As long as they passed the physical examination, they can go to work in three days. I was going to leave with them in three days, but now that something like this happened to li ting, I think I'll have to stay at home for a few more days."
"Yeah, sure. Dad, you should spend more time with li tao at home. Things are not urgent here." Li Haitang then chatted with him and hung up.
The three of Xia Lin spent an afternoon in front of the computer, typing much faster, but they were still enjoying themselves. When they saw Li Haitang coming back with a gloomy face, the three of them stopped typing together and came over to care about her.
Li Haitang did not hide it. He shared with them about the mess in the family and laughed at himself, "Before, Su Tong said that the pepe family could write a story book. I think my foster father's family could write a book too. I think it would be more exciting."
In this simple age, Li Ting's story really refreshed the three of them. They had never heard of such a thing before. It was more exaggerated than the story books. They didn't know how to comfort her.
After a moment of silence, Xia Lin suddenly said, "Li Haitang, your foster mother's daughter, Li Ting, is no longer a child. She is charged with arson and poisoning, but she has to bear criminal responsibility. Even if there are external factors affecting her, she will probably be sentenced to about ten years." Xia Lin's parents were both involved in legal work, so they naturally knew a lot and told her.
As Li Haitang had expected, she lay on the bed with her eyes closed and sighed heavily, "Hey, I'm not afraid you'll call me cold-blooded. I don't feel anything about their mother and daughter ending up like this. I don't care whether they live or die. I don't have a ripple in my heart. I'm not afraid of you calling me heartless. We've lived together for more than ten years, and even a dog has feelings after all these years. But I really don't have any feelings for them. The only thing I have is resentment."
The three of Xia Lin did not know what she had experienced when she was a child. When they heard her tone, their hearts were in a mess, but they did not know how to comfort her.
Li Haitang paused for a moment, adding a ripple to his plain tone. "I'm glad that I didn't go the wrong way when I was extremely depressed, and that I didn't end up in a dead end like Li Ting. I'm glad that I walked down the sunshine road and brought my brother Li Tao out. I have always believed that everyone in this world will return good for good and evil for evil. To this day, they have made their own mistakes and can't blame anyone. I don't care about the ending of the two of them. The only thing I'm worried about is Li Tao. He's been through so much over the past two years, and he's changed almost overnight at such a young age. He's been through more than I am, and I'm worried he's going through a dead end too."
Lin peipei was the only one among the three of them who had ever dealt with Li Tao. She held Li Haitang's hand tightly and comforted her, saying, "Haitang, no, your brother Li Tao is not so fragile. He was well guided by you before. I think he is very cheerful and sunny. It's a huge blow to him, but with you and your foster father leading him, he shouldn't be heading in a bad direction."
Li Haitang sighed, exhausted and helpless. "I hope so."
She rubbed her aching temples and scanned the room. She found something to divert her mood. She tilted slightly and took the bag from the bedside table. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's affecting our mood and appetite. I brought a lot of fruits and snacks back from Yangcheng this time. I brought them especially for you. Let's eat together and turn our troubles into appetites."
The other three smiled helplessly. They finally understood why her psychological endurance was so strong. It turned out that they had a way to adjust it, which was a good way. It seemed that they should study hard.
Li Haitang took out all the snacks that were still unpacked and a small bag of strawberries. Once again, a clear, snowy smile appeared on his face. "There are still some strawberries left for you to taste. I'll wash them."
When they heard that there were strawberries to eat, their eyes lit up and they urged, "Go wash up."
When she went to the kitchen to wash the strawberries, Lin Peipei reminded her in a low voice, "In the future, we should try not to mention her biological parents in front of haitang. I have asked her brother about everything about her carefully. She seems to have a special aversion to her biological parents."
Su Tong and Xia Lin nodded in unison. They thought that if they were abandoned by their own parents, they would probably hate them for the rest of their lives. They would not just reject them.
While they were eating, Li Haitang sat in front of the computer with his fingers flying around, and in their daze, knocked out an entire page of manuscripts in a very short time. Then, she looked at them calmly, then gave them a look of contempt and disgust, and continued to work.
"I, I want to knock her to death!" Lin Peipei, who had been grinding in front of the computer for half a day, felt a pain in his heart. Was he human?
Xia Lin sighed weakly and curled her lips, "I've been buying my computer for two years. After the middle school exams, I practiced typing at home that summer. I thought I learned fast. Now I'm a piece of trash in front of her."
Su Tong did not want to talk to her at all. One by one, she stuffed strawberries into her mouth, turning grief and anger into appetite was the best way to relieve the stress.
They chattered all night until they wiped out all the snacks Li Haitang had taken out before they went to bed and wash up.
Everyone had a good night's sleep until dawn!
At dawn the next day, the four of them rode their bikes to school happily and began their new second semester of high school.
