Chapter 171 Past Grudges

Chapter 171 past grievances

As soon as he left, Li Haitang got up and went to the kitchen to boil water. He planned to take a warm bath tonight and sleep in tomorrow morning.

The others went back to their rooms to wash their faces and feet. She took a long bath alone in the bathroom in the backyard. After washing, she washed her clothes while there was hot water and hung them on the wire in the backyard.

She glanced at her watch. At 8: 30, she planned to go to the small living room to say hello to the others watching tv and then go upstairs to read.

Li Jianhong, who was boiling water in the kitchen, walked up to her with a slightly troubled face and suddenly said, "Haitang, I have something to tell you."

Li Haitang blinked her eyes. She could tell that Li Jianhong wanted to keep quiet every time she was alone with her. It seemed that she was going to have a deep talk with her. She pointed at the stairs, "Go upstairs and talk."

"Okay, you go up first. I'll make two cups of tea." Li Jianhong then turned to the kitchen.

There was only a stool in Li Haitang's room with a desk. She gave it to Li Jianhong and sat on the bed, carrying the hot tea she had brought over, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Li Jianhong held the large enamel cup in both hands and did not know how to speak. He stared at her face for a long time before saying, "You look like your mother, Li Xiaoqin, especially your eyes. They look exactly the same."

Li Haitang frowned. She didn't want to talk about him at all, and her tone was a little cold, "Tell me what she did for no reason."

Li Jianhong did not know that she had already met her biological parents and had made a particularly unpleasant scene. He did not care about the coldness in her tone and continued to say nostalgically, "Do you know why I don't like you so much? I don't like Li Xiaoqin. It can be said that I hate her. I can't hate her. That's why I transferred this hatred to you. I know I'm being unreasonable, but I just can't get through that. The reason I hate her is not just because your mother stopped me and your uncle, but also because they don't even know your second brother and third brother. Only me and your brother know."

Li Haitang pursed her lips slightly and did not speak, waiting for her to continue. She had a strong premonition that she might learn a secret from her today.

Li Xiaoqin had been tall and pretty since she was a teenager. I had a good relationship with her back then, and we often played together. Once we agreed to go to the back of the stone mountain to pick up mushrooms to eat, but that day, I suddenly came to the moon, and my stomach hurt so badly, I asked big brother to send her a message.

It was also that day that an extremely bad educated youth who came to our village wanted to do dirty things to her. Fortunately, big brother arrived in time to save her. After the incident, the educated youth escaped. In order not to let outsiders point fingers at her, the eldest brother and her both shut their mouths and did not say anything about that day. "Li Jianhong did not look into her eyes and spoke. His eyes were fixed on the calendar on the desk, as if recalling the exact day.

She opened the lid of the tea, took a sip of hot tea, and closed it again. Her voice was a little low, "Because of this, she and big brother got closer and closer, and then the two of them got together secretly."

Li Haitang was stunned.

Was there such a thing?

Was there a reason why dad agreed to Deng Wenfang adopt her?

Then what happened next that made Li Jianhong and her good friends turn against each other?

A series of questions popped up in her mind. Unable to figure them out, she had to continue listening to her.

"At that time, I could tell that Li Xiaoqin had feelings for his eldest brother, and I often set them up, always helping to create opportunities for them to be alone. At that time, his eldest brother was not like this at all. He was a high school student at that time. He had good grades, cheerful personality, and was very talkative and sunny. He made a lot of like-minded friends outside. Even though he dropped out of school because his family was poor, he would certainly be able to stand out in the light of his abilities, instead of living a decadent life like this. It wasn't just Deng Wenfang who made him like this, it was also your mother, Li Xiaoqin. In my estimation, your mother was the one who hurt him the most." As Li Jianhong said these words, tears rolled in her eyes.

"What happened after that?" Li Haitang's air pressure was a little low, and his thin body was sitting upright. Li Jianguo's tired eyes came to mind, and his heart suddenly felt a little bitter.

Li jianhong rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief and recalled for a while before continuing, "Your mother went to the provincial capital at the age of 16. It was difficult for people from the countryside to enter the city at that time. Even if her family had relatives in the provincial capital, it was difficult to get a letter of introduction. It was her eldest brother who asked a lot of friends for help to do this. When they were young, they were very simple, full of beautiful vision for the future, and yearned to go to the city to earn some money and live a better life.

Her tailoring skills were not bad, and she was very interested. The eldest brother wanted her to go to the city to learn from the master for a few more years, and then he would find a way to go to the city to develop together. By the time I found out about these things, Li Xiaoqin's trip to the provincial capital had been settled. You are so smart, you should know how rare such an opportunity is. Such an opportunity is enough to change a person's fate, just like you went to college, and went out to soar. At that time, I envied her, and suddenly I envied her. Obviously, I am the eldest brother's sister, my tailoring skills are also very good, I also like this industry, but eldest brother did not give me this opportunity, but he spent so much effort to give this opportunity to her.

Although I wanted her to be my sister-in-law, this incident made me dislike her from now on. In the month before she went to the provincial capital, I had a big argument with her six or seven times. My brother was always on her side, and my heart became more and more extreme. After she went to the provincial capital, she came back once a year. Every time she came back, she would argue with each other. When she wrote letters, she would also argue with each other. "

After saying so much, her voice became a little hoarse. She took a sip of hot tea, moistened it, and continued, "My brother has reprimanded her many times. He was worried that the quarrel I made around her would destroy their relationship. Ah, but he did not expect that just two years later, she came back from the provincial capital and told her brother about the separation. The reason, I'm one of them, and the other is that she likes other men. Ah, I gave dozens of food stamps and the like as compensation."

It was her usual practice to break the payment.

Li Haitang really didn't know that there were so many things involved. It turned out that the woman was still an ungrateful scum. Although she had never been with anyone and didn't know how to feel, she knew how much this hurt Li Jianguo.

It was no wonder that such a positive person would become like this later on. She really could not imagine how he would feel when he was working so hard to raise himself. If she were him, she would not be able to raise Li Xiaoqin's child. She might be indifferent, she might despise, or she might take revenge on her child. After all, looking at her face, which was not much different from Li Xiaoqin's, the pain that had been sealed in her heart for many years would always come back. She could never work as hard as he did to earn money to support the daughter of an enemy.

No wonder that woman never came back once in all these years. She had no face to see Li Jianguo, right? Li Haitang's voice was so cold that it turned to dust, "And then?"

"Later? Later on, she probably felt ashamed to see her brother. I remember that time when she only stayed at home for one day and left in a hurry, I couldn't find anyone to scold her when I knew what was going on. From then on, big brother's personality began to change, and he became more and more silent. For a long time, he could not see a smile. Slowly, he stopped playing with his friends and kept on working in the fields to earn his work points, helping his parents raise two younger brothers." Li Jianhong was very sad. She and her brother were not too different in age and had a good relationship. She could not help but shed tears every time she thought about what happened at that time.

"Later, the matchmaker came to my house to tell me about the marriage, and the person who invited her was your real grandfather Li Fugui, who was the first person Li Xiaolin liked me."

She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Although I was a little hot-tempered when I was young, I was the best at work among my peers. I had a decent appearance, and I wasn't as mean as I was a few years ago. At that time, I was quite gentle. He grew up with Li Xiaolin. He was also a gentle man. My parents were very satisfied with him, so they decided to agree. I didn't really like or dislike Li Xiaolin at that time, and I thought that he was a good partner, and since Li Xiaoqin broke up with big brother, I didn't have any concerns and agreed to it myself."

"After spending half a year together, the two of us had feelings. Just as we were about to get married, Li Xiaoqin came back. As soon as she came back and heard about this, she insisted on refusing to let me into his house. The outsiders and the Li Fugui family did not know the reason. They all thought that the two sisters we grew up together had an irreconcilable conflict. Well, actually, she has no face to see her brother, no face to see me, no face to face the two of us." Li Jianhong's face was still filled with anger when he talked about the things that had happened in the past few decades.

Li Xiaoqin suddenly came back and ruined my marriage. It was too much for anyone to bear. People who didn't know what I had done thought that Li Xiaoqin had caught hold of me and caused a lot of people to gossip about me behind my back. I was a hot-tempered person, and at that time I couldn't stand such grievances at all. I rushed to their house and slapped Li Fugui and his wife in front of them.

Without anyone else around, she slapped me twice and apologized. But I didn't accept her apology at all, and I felt sick, and then my big brother came to drag me home. From then on, I never paid any attention to any of them. Even if Li Xiaolin came to me, I would throw him away with a rock. "

It was her first relationship. She and Li Xiaolin were getting married, and the sudden blow made her unable to recover for a long time. That incident did have a great impact on her, and many people in the nearby villages did not propose marriage, so that they could only marry to live in the neighboring town.
