Chapter 247 interview explanation
Li Haitang took out a handkerchief from his bag and wiped his eyes. His voice was hoarse, "Before I was fifteen, I didn't wear a new dress or a new pair of shoes. I could only eat one piece of meat a year, less than an egg a month, and wild seeds and cheap hooves that my foster mother had insulted for more than ten years.
Before the middle school examination, she forbade me from studying, forced me to drop out of school and work in the south to earn money, forbade me from eating, and even locked up sweet potatoes. She hadn't eaten at home for five days, and had to rely on her classmates'lunchtime pancakes to satisfy her hunger. In the end, she was still hungry and dizzy on the road. When I was sent to the clinic by a kind person and woke up again, I made a decision.
After 15 years of holding it in, I don't want to hold it anymore. I want to walk out of the mountains and get rid of the dark fate of being controlled. I want to control the gear of fate in my own hands. For rural children, there is only one way to study. When I got home, I offered to split up and set up my own house. I signed a letter of guarantee to sever my relationship. I didn't take a single cent of a grain of rice with me. I only took my book and a few patched summer clothes and lived in a small hut of a dead, lonely old man.
It was a miserable time, and it was thanks to the help of my foster father, the neighbors in the village, the teachers and classmates, but it was the happiest and most peaceful time of my childhood at least a year. In the summer, there was no air conditioning, no fan, not even a fan, only a book fan or cold water to cool the temperature. In the quiet night, there was no tv, no noise, only the sound of insects and frogs. It was during this period that I started writing, and my goal at that time was very clear. I just wanted to earn a fan, an electronic watch, and high school tuition and living expenses.
In the preliminaries before the middle school entrance examination, I got first place in the whole school. But my foster mother didn't like it when I left home and went to school to make a scene and deliberately tarnish my reputation. I called the police, and the school came forward to testify to me, which also caused my foster father to divorce her. "
"The source of my childhood pain is my adoptive mother, Deng Wenfang. I can't be filial to her, and I can't hate her anymore. After her divorce from her foster father, she humiliated herself and forced her own daughter to poison and set fire to kill her for revenge. As for what happened after her, I did not help but stand by and do nothing.
I think people should be punished if they do something wrong. As long as she is less mean, more caring and more human, she will not end up as a traitor. If everyone thinks my cold treatment is cold-blooded and heartless, I have nothing to say. I accept this label. "
Her voice was very flat, as if there were no waves at all, but this kind of calm listening in people's ears was particularly heavy and distressed.
If what she said was true, then such a foster mother was not worthy of her filial support, and everyone could understand what she was doing.
"Ungrateful, not supporting your parents. I don't recognize these two words. My adoptive mother was ungrateful to me. I would not repay her or support her. And his adoptive father was a man of few words. He was the greatest and most broad-minded man in the world. He worked hard day and night to raise me.
When I left home alone at the age of 15, he was the one who secretly helped me learn to survive. All these years, he was the one who ran the store in my hometown. He helped me take care of everything and never disturbed my study. He has nurtured me, and I regard him as my own father. I will spend my whole life repaying him, filial piety, and supporting him.
On my way to life, I remember all the people who have given me a little kindness. Whether it's the teachers who have been guiding me out of the mire, or the classmates and neighbors who helped me out when I was the poorest, I have paid them back with all my heart after I had a good life. "
"All of these are true. If you do not believe me, you can go to my hometown to verify the situation. If there is a false statement, I am willing to accept the slander of the whole country." The specific names of the places were announced, and Li Haitang had already decided to be honest.
"Okay, miss li, please tell me more about your biological parents." Asked the man with the gold-rimmed glasses at the front.
Li Haitang saw the press card he was wearing. From the capital tv station, she smiled politely at him and took a sip of water before continuing, "To tell the truth about my biological parents, I only know their names so far. When I was 17, I came to the capital for a summer vacation. I met them by chance for the first time. I guessed from their looks that they had no communication and did not say a word.
The next day, they came to the hotel where I was staying. It was the first time they spoke, and the only time they had talked to each other so far. The purpose of their visit was to sever ties with me and not disturb their lives. They offered to compensate me for the money or the account or the house, but I refused.
At that time, both of us signed a letter of guarantee not to disturb each other. The contents of the letter of guarantee were personally drafted by deputy director lin of the capital square notary office. It also clearly stated the ownership and distribution of property inheritance. My abandoned daughter had no right of inheritance. I brought this up myself, and they agreed that deputy director lin and two of my friends were there to witness it. "
Ji Dongming took the initiative to stand up and said loudly, "I am one of the witnesses at the scene. Everything she said is true."
"Kaka... Kaka..." The reporters' cameras snapped at him.
Li Haitang gave him a grateful look, and after the reporters had finished filming, he continued, "This is all I can provide about my biological parents. In the follow-up decision, I will make the contents of the guarantee public. Please wait."
"Miss li, do you hate your biological parents?" The other party asked a question that had nothing to do with the interview, but it was something everyone wanted to know.
Li Haitang leaned back a little, with no extra expression on his face, and said, "They asked me this question, my brother from the same father and mother, and many friends who cared about me.
My answer was the same from beginning to end, no hate.
About a month ago, my sister, who was with my parents, suddenly came to school to look for me. The first time we met, the only thing we talked about was not letting me go home. She didn't recognize me. I saw that she was a spoiled child. She didn't know that her parents and I had signed a guarantee. About half a month ago, she came again and said that the other elders in the family wanted to acknowledge me. She came to warn me to keep my word. She had already promised her not to acknowledge me no matter what.
At that time, I told her that when I got into the Beijing university from a remote village, I didn't rely on intelligence, hard work, or perseverance. Maybe it wasn't stubbornness, but a kind of expectation. Ever since I became sensible and knew that I was an abandoned child, I have been looking forward to meeting my biological parents one day, wanting to stand out on my own and walk up to them in glory, wanting to ask them why they abandoned me.
However, when the two sides met for the first time unprepared, I did not see any joy or guilt in their eyes. Instead, I dodged, guarded and vigilant. Plus, they couldn't wait to come the next day to get rid of their relationship. I finally knew that I was really just an extra burden, a burden they might have forgotten and never thought of.
They gave birth to me, gave me money, and gave birth to me. But it was also because of them that I suffered a lot of pain and abuse. They cancel each other out, and there is no hatred or gratitude, so I readily agreed to sever all ties and live a peaceful life from now on without disturbing each other. "
Xia Lin looked at her with tears in her eyes. The two of them often met and chatted, but she had never mentioned these things, so she had no idea that her biological parents had come to see her. She used to think that she was just hiding the pain in her heart, but now it seems that she really put it down, or else she wouldn't have talked about it so calmly.
Things with her biological parents were over, but now her personal feelings had hit her hard, and she didn't know how long it would take her to get through it. Xia Lin rubbed her aching temples and suddenly remembered what she had said before. She didn't want to get married and thought it was good to be single. It was only last month that she finally opened her heart, but now... With her personality, would she really want to be alone for the rest of her life?
"Okay. Miss li, please tell me about the robbery of someone else's fiance." Another red-lipped female reporter asked, apparently curious about such personal questions.
Li Haitang looked at the name of the newspaper on her press card and found it in a pile of newspapers on the table. The articles written by the newspaper were all about "Snatching my fiance." They were like entertainment magazines in later generations. She glanced around quickly and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"This lady, regarding the story described in this article published by your newspaper, the plot is really bloodthirsty. I dare not act like this in tv dramas or plays. As a writer, I can't write it for the time being. This editor should be a genius in your newspaper. His brain and imagination are really very rich. Your leaders are really good at digging up talents and giving them full play to their strengths."
Li Haitang's mild teasing made the other colleagues laugh. Their newspaper was really unique in this era, but it could not bear to sell well. It was also famous in the capital, and the development speed was very fast, there was a trend to catch up with the capital evening newspaper.
Miss li said that the story was too bloodthirsty to be written by herself, but we wrote it according to the original story in the letter we received. We didn't change it much, just changed it a little and embellished the words. Now, according to what you're saying, isn't this news true?" The other party asked back very quickly.
