Although Ling Jiang is a good man, he also has a bottom line.
He can continue to raise Li Li and Ling Jiale, mother and son, out of love and morality, but he will no longer love Ling Jiale like a son.
What's more, when he saw Ling Jiale's strong body and thought of the hardships his daughter had endured over the years, how could he not feel resentful in his heart.
"I'll leave if you don't get up."
After hearing Ling Jiang's words, Ling Jiale's mouth dropped and he immediately began to cry at the top of his lungs.
Since childhood, whenever Ling Jiale cries, Li Li will obey him unconditionally, so much so that he gives him the illusion that anything can be accomplished by crying.
But this time his wishful thinking failed, Ling Jiang turned around and left without a trace of hesitation or nostalgia.
Ling Jiale was angry and aggrieved, and cried louder, trying to keep Ling Jiang's presence in this way.
Ling Jiang did hesitate for a moment, but the next moment, he saw his thin daughter standing next to the bicycle.
When he went out in the morning, he specially put on a clean floral cotton-padded jacket for his daughter, but now, there was an eye-catching mud footprint on the hem of the floral cotton-padded jacket.
That was pedaled by Ling Jiale.
Ling Jiang walked over and patted the mud marks on his daughter's body with his hands.
After taking the pictures, Ling Jiang pushed on the bicycle and said to his daughter: "Let's go, Chunhua, let's go to your grandpa's house."
Ling Chunhua looked at Ling Jiale, who was still lying on the ground crying not far away, her big round and beautiful eyes full of puzzlement and confusion.
"Dad, are we ignoring family fun?"
"Well, if he disobeys me, I won't care about him anymore."
Ling Chunhua followed Ling Jiang in confusion, turning back as she walked.
Ling Jiale lay on the ground and howled for a long time. He didn't wait for Ling Jiang to coax him. He sat up from the ground and realized that there was no one around him.
"Grandpa!"
After shouting twice and receiving no response, Ling Jiang guessed that there was no one at home. He put the things he had brought on the table, turned around and was about to go out to look for them. He saw his ex-wife Li Li holding her waist and coming from the house on the left.
Walked out.
Seeing that she didn't look good, Ling Jiang subconsciously asked with concern: "Are you sick?"
"I twisted my waist a few days ago."
Li Li looked at Ling Jiang for a long time, then replied angrily, then walked to the table and looked through the things Ling Jiang had brought.
Ling Jiang was not a talkative person. After being silent for a while, he took out 20 yuan from his body and handed it to Li Li.
"This is this month's living expenses. I also brought rice, a total of 10 kilograms."
Li Li took the money, counted it, and then put it in her pocket.
Ling Jiang pointed to the things on the table and said: "My younger siblings and Chuanzi asked me to bring the cotton clothes and pants to my dad. There are also two pounds of pork and one pound of white sugar. They are my little thoughts. It's New Year. I hope you all can."
May you be healthy and smooth.”
Li Li glanced at him without saying a word. When she turned around and saw Ling Chunhua at the side, her face suddenly dropped.
Ling Chunhua was wearing a brand-new floral cotton-padded jacket, her little face was rosy, and she knew she was moisturized just by looking at it.
On the other hand, she and her son were suffering from the cold and cold in the countryside. They ate only clear soup and water every day, without even a hint of meat and fish, and their faces were all sallow.
"Damn girl, won't you call me after we haven't seen you for a few days?"
After saying that, he raised his hand, wanting to teach Ling Chunhua a lesson like before, but Ling Chunhua no longer stood there stupidly and let her beat her like before, and turned around and ran behind Ling Jiang.
"dad!"
Ling Jiang also protected his daughter immediately, and also lost his temper towards Li Li, "If you're not feeling well, just rest. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. Say hello to dad for me. I'll be next
I'll bring Chunhua to see him when I have time."
After saying that, Ling Jiang took his daughter and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the main room's door, Ling Jiale ran back home.
Seeing Ling Jiang and Ling Chunhua, Ling Jiale paused for a moment, then immediately rushed forward and hugged Ling Jiang's legs.
"Dad, I want to eat candy, I want to eat candy!"
Looking at Ling Jiale who was crying with tears and snot all over his face, Ling Jiang subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, but found nothing.
Yun Mo bought the candies for Ling Chunhua. He grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket before going out. He had already given them all to Ling Jiale and the little monkeys.
"Jia Le, I'll bring you some candy next time."
"I don't, I don't, I want candy now!"
Ling Jiale put his hand into Ling Jiang's pocket in disbelief, but found nothing. He immediately started jumping, crying, and fussing.
"I want sugar, I want sugar..."
Ling Jiang was so entangled that he had no choice but to turn to look at Li Li, hoping that she would come over and coax Ling Jiale.
But Li Li stood and watched the show indifferently, showing no intention to care.
Ling Jiang had no choice but to say, "Li, come here and persuade the child."
"I can't persuade you with empty hands."
When Ling Jiang was in trouble, Ling Chunhua took out two pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to Ling Jiale.
"Jia Le, I'll give it to you."
"I don't want yours! Dad, I want to eat candy, I want to eat candy!"
He was still thinking about how Ling Jiang had taken out a large handful of candies just now, but he couldn't see the two pieces in Ling Chunhua's hand.
Ling Jiang took the candy from his daughter's hand and stuffed it into his hand, "Jia Le, this is all I have. I'll bring you more next time. Be obedient."
Ling Jiale raised his hand and threw away the candy Ling Jiang pushed into his hand, "I told you I don't want her!"
These two candies were given to his daughter when he went out in the morning.
The daughter kept it in her pocket and didn't even want to eat it. She took it out eagerly to coax the younger brother, but the other brother threw the candy away so unappreciatively.
Ling Jiang couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, "If you don't want to, forget it, let go, we have to leave."
Hearing Ling Jiang say he was leaving, Ling Jiale was stunned for a moment.
Taking advantage of Ling Jiale's daze, Ling Jiang took his daughter and continued walking out.
Ling Jiale quickly came to his senses, turned around and chased the father and daughter out.
"Dad, I want to go back too! I want to go back with you!"
Although Ling Jiale was small, he was very strong. He hugged Ling Jiang's legs tightly and refused to let go.
Ling Jiang was wary of using too much force for fear of hurting the child, so he kept fussing like this for a while until Li Dajun came home with Pigweed on his back.
Li Dajun seemed particularly happy to see Ling Jiang and Ling Chunhua. When he heard that the father and daughter were leaving, he quickly spoke out to persuade them to stay.
"It's almost noon, let's have lunch before leaving."
"I'm not going to eat. I'm still busy at home. Dad, please take good care of yourself. I'll bring Chunhua to see you when I'm free for a while."
Seeing that Ling Jiang was determined to leave, Li Dajun couldn't force him to stay anymore and stepped forward to take his grandson home.
Ling Jiale wanted to follow Ling Jiang back to the city, but he refused to give in. As soon as Li Dajun touched him, he kicked and hit him with his hands and feet, and even opened his mouth to bite Li Dajun's hand, which made Li Dajun unable to retreat.
, I could only retract my hand and shout loudly to my daughter Li Li to come out.
But Li Li deliberately pretended to be deaf and mute and didn't come out to help.
In the end, there was no other way, so Ling Jiang had to stay for lunch.
