Chapter 833 Father and Son (1)
The voices of people coming from outside were completely unfamiliar to Li Ling, but he immediately knew the other party’s identity. It was his cheap father. Li Tong, who had never met since he traveled through time, had cheated him several times! This made him get up immediately and walk out. At the same time, Li Le'er was also moving. Her eyes were full of joy, and she even opened her mouth to call her father in to come in and meet her brother: "Dad..."
The two siblings came to the hall and saw a man wearing a wide robe and green dress, not very old, staring at Li Moyun and the other two with caution. This also reminded Li Le'er of the sudden that there should be several servants in the family, but now they have become these strangers. His face suddenly changed, and he shrank back his words to his mouth, and he looked at his younger brother and father in panic.
Li Ling also spoke at the right time: "You must not be rude, he is me... dad." The word "dad" was a bit stiff, and his eyes were locked on the other party.
Li Tong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he passed three people who were also stunned and stunned. He looked at Li Ling. After his eyes shrank, the expression on his face changed from shock to panic, and then turned into surprise: "You... are you... you are Ling'er... really you?" As he said, his body shook, as if it was because of excitement, but he couldn't even take a step.
Li Ling just nodded to him calmly, and at the same time, he used a move to signal Li Moyun and the others to come over and protect him. He had only felt unfamiliar with his father before, but after talking to his sister just now, he was deeply wary of his identity, and there was a big problem with the other party's identity!
Li Le'er didn't notice this. After discovering that the people in the yard were brought by his younger brother, she relaxed completely and said hurriedly: "Yes, Daddy, Brother Ling finally came to find us, and our family can finally be reunited."
Li Tong's face was still full of excitement, and trembled for a while, then he stepped forward and looked at Li Ling deeply: "Okay, okay... Ling'er, Dad really didn't expect to see you again... Dad, I'm sorry for you and Yue'er. I left for some of my own things, which made you brother and sister suffer at home..." As he said that, he took a few steps forward, as if he was about to grab Li Ling's hand.
Unexpectedly, as his son, he took two steps forward and continued to keep a distance. Although Li Moyun and the others were a little confused about their own thoughts, they still obediently clamped their left and right, blocking between them and their father and son.
Seeing this, Li Tong was stunned again. Looking at the couple, he said with a lot of blame: "Are you... really blamed your father?"
Li Le'er finally saw something wrong and quickly said, "Brother Ling, Daddy may have done something wrong before, but he has repented... And no matter what, he is our dad, this is a fact that will never change. We are a family..."
"Sister, don't worry. I'm not really blaming my dad, I just couldn't accept it for the time being." Li Ling made an excuse casually, "In fact, I won't blame him anymore when you mentioned that he could rescue you from Jiangbei in the chaos regardless of his own safety. Dad, let's go in and sit down and talk first, and my son does have a lot to say to you."
"Okay, let's go in and talk." When Li Tong heard this, he felt even more happy. He nodded and agreed. He nodded and stopped catching his son's hand. Instead, he stepped into the hall with his daughter's support. Naturally, he sat down at the upper head, and Li Ling sat down in the guest seat below. Li Moyun and the other two, because of Li Ling's instructions just now, did not retreat outside, and stood steadily behind him.
Li Tong was silent for a while, as if he had calmed his emotions in his heart, and then he said slowly: "Ling'er, are you doing well over the years? Yue'er is okay with you, right?"
"For the blessing of dad, we are all very good. Yue'er has not suffered much in recent years." Li Ling actually had too many things in his heart to ask his cheap dad, but he didn't know where to ask, so he still looked a little stiff at this time.
In fact, it was not only him, but Li Tong, who was a father, looked at him and didn't know how to speak and behave well. After asking, he lost the following text. He just nodded with relief and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, Li Le'er had to come forward and talk to her: "Brother Ling, I know you were a little blamed on your father in the past. Because of some of his mistakes at the beginning, our family was in decline, and you and Yue'er suffered a lot. But as you can see, now our father has changed. He has never been gambled outside like before, and he no longer wants to take the imperial examinations. Instead, he found a teaching job in this city... If it weren't for his father taking care of me and Tangtang over the years, we would probably have been extremely difficult."
"Oh? Did Dad find a teacher's job here? Did you earn everything in this house with hard work?" Li Ling said, taking a look at this rather spacious hall and the yard in the outer room.
Li Tong sighed softly: "I was thinking of being able to shine my family because of some obsessions and thought of being able to win the imperial examination and high school, but I failed repeatedly, which made me a big blow. And your mother went there early, so no one around me could persuade me, so she was trapped in the quagmire and did many wrong things... In the end, she left you brothers and sisters out for debts because of fear... I really didn't take responsibility and was not worthy of being your father..."
"Dad..." Li Le'er felt even more uncomfortable when she heard him say this, so she thought of persuading her for a few more words, but was interrupted by him: "But over the past few years, although I have suffered a lot, I have also become awake and know how stupid I was at the beginning, so I thought about repentance.
"After bringing Le'er and his mother here, I changed my mind and planned to start over. It was God's blessing that I met a friend here. After receiving his introduction, I found a job to learn from the local king's family for the children of other clans, so that I could support Le'er and his mother."
Li Ling listened quietly and said until now: "It seems that you are really valued by the Wang family. As a clan teacher, you can actually buy such a big family business."
Although the courtyard where they are located is not too big, it is considered a middle-aged and above family in Xiangfan City. Not to mention the many decorations in the hall and the backyard, just the two-in-one room, I am afraid I can't get it without a few hundred taels of silver. Moreover, there are three or four servants in their family. How could this be earned by a master of elementary school?
Li Tong's face changed significantly, but he quickly said: "This house is mostly based on my friend's help, so I made some business with him and made some money, so that Le'er and Tangtang would not suffer with me."
"Oh, it turns out that Dad, you not only changed your bad habits, but also made a great progress. It really made your son happy." Although that was said, there was no sign of joy on Li Ling's face.
Li Tong's eyes were dark again: "I know you're still blaming me, this is what you deserve. After all, I didn't take good care of you and Yue'er, and I dare not ask you to forgive me immediately."
"No, I just can't figure it out. Since you and your sister are all fine here, why didn't you think about sending us a letter to us so that we can rest assured? Do you know that just before today, I always thought that my sister and the others had died in the chaos in Jiangbei County ten years ago. Yue'er was even more sad at that time of year and would go to pay tribute to her sister!" Li Ling said, staring at his father's face with bright eyes, waiting for him to answer.
"Brother Ling, haven't I said it just now? Daddy is just trying not to implicate you. The Jiangbei incident has already implicated you, so I asked you..." Li Le'er quickly exonerated her father when she saw this.
But Li Ling shook his head suddenly: "Sister, you are wrong. I have never been affected by this matter. Not only has my fame and fortune been taken away, I also passed the Tanhua exam later and was an official in the court for many years. What you said does not exist if my father is worried about harming me and will never find us again."
"Ah..." Li Le'er was completely stunned. Her younger brother, who thought he had been having a bad life over the years, was so resentful to his father. He had long become a court official? But if this was true, wouldn't what his father said be a lie? Why did he lie to him like this?
Too many questions were entangled in his heart, which made Li Le'er confused. He looked at his father and his younger brother, not knowing what to say and how to perform well.
Li Ling said at this time: "Sister, I think you must be very strange. How could I come to find you this time? That's because when I arrived in Xiangfan two months ago, I had accidentally seen your back on the street. At that time, I recognized that it was you, but I couldn't find it again. So in the next two months, I asked my subordinates to carefully search for clues about you in Xiangfan, which made me confirm where you are and come here specially today.
"I just didn't expect that not only are there sisters and Tangtang here, but also him, our father. What I didn't expect was that he had been deceiving us for a long time, and even today, I had found him in front of me. He was still acting and was thinking about using those words full of loopholes to deceive me!"
At the end, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he turned to his father: "Dad, I don't think you don't know who your son is and what he has done before. Since you know it, why should you deceive others with such lies that are full of mistakes and misses?
"Who are you? Why have you abandoned your children over the years? What are you planning? Also, what are your connections with the huge changes that are about to happen in Xiangfan? Don't think of lying to me again. You know that there are no better sons than you. Some things you can't hide from!"
