When Li Li told Tang Qing the reason why he owed a huge debt, Tang Qing's first feeling was that Li Li had been set up by an enemy, a trap that would ruin Li Li's reputation.
"Li Zhong, Li Cheng is not Master Li's biological child, and you yourself are not Master Li's biological child. Who told you?"
"right."
"Then how could Mr. Long know?"
"I told him."
"You told him? Why did you tell him?"
"Because when he was young, he wanted to find out who my biological father was? Who bullied my mother? And who tortured my mother to death."
"How do you know he wanted to find out who your biological father was when he was young?"
"That's what my father said."
"Master Li said that?"
"Yes, my father said that when he saw me for the last time."
"See you for the last time? Aren't I there too?"
"It's not the time when you came to shave your vagina. I mean the last time my father saw me alone. It was about a month before he passed away. Li Zhong and Li Cheng haven't come back yet."
"Can you tell me in detail what happened at that time?"
"Can."
Li Li recalled to Tang Qing the scene when she met Mr. Li.
When Li Li's biological mother passed away, Li Li was less than a month old.
Faced with a baby girl who was less than one month old, Mr. Li was helpless. He was devastated by the unfortunate passing of Aunt Li. Now that he was left with a child who was waiting to be fed, he was even more heartbroken.
Mr. Li originally wanted to entrust Li Li to Grandpa Tang Qing, and Grandpa Tang Qing also offered to take her home to raise her. At that time, Tang Qing's mother happened to be pregnant with Tang Qing and was about to give birth. Tang Qing was more than a month younger than Li Li, and she was also
He was born more than a month late.
Mr. Li thought for a long time and felt that the Li family could not cause any more trouble to the Tang family.
Master Li knows very well what Grandpa Tang Qing is like. If he takes over Li Li, he will definitely treat Li Li as his own, but he will never accept any material support from the Li family.
At that time, the economy was not as good as it is now, and the life of Tang Qing's family was still very difficult. Mr. Li could not bear to cause difficulties to the Tang family.
What's more important is that although the Tang family is at the bottom of the city, it is well-known, especially Grandpa Tang Qing, who has won unanimous respect from everyone with his craftsmanship and conduct. If the blame for the actor's illegitimate daughter is passed on to the Tang family, the whole life of the Tang family will be ruined.
His good reputation will be destroyed instantly. How could Mr. Li do such a thing?
It happened that after Tang Qing's mother gave birth to Tang Qing, she developed anemia due to malnutrition. Even Tang Qing could only be raised on rice cereal, and Tang Qing's grandfather did not insist anymore.
Li Zhong showed his courtesy to Mr. Li, saying that he had heard that there was a family outside the south gate who died a few days after giving birth to a child, who could be Li Li's adoptive mother.
At that time, Mr. Li did not know that Aunt Li had been tortured to death by Li Zhong. He praised Li Zhong for doing a good job, so he handed Li Li over to Li Zhong and took her to the south gate for foster care.
After Li Li grew up outside Nanmen, she learned about her life experience from the rumors among the people in Yancheng. In particular, Li Zhong always found Li Li from time to time and scolded her as an illegitimate daughter, so he made up his mind not to enter the Li family.
"Li Zhong didn't kill you as an infant, so he was still a bit humane."
"I'm sure he wanted to kill me. He probably didn't have the chance to do it."
"possible."
"Have you really never been back to Li's house?"
"Until then."
"Why did you go back that time?"
"Uncle Tang came to call me."
"My dad?"
"Yes, if Uncle Tang hadn't come to call me, I might not have gone back."
"Has my father been in private contact with Mr. Li?"
"Don't you know? My father relied on Uncle Tang and Auntie to take care of him in his last years. Otherwise, how could he live alone?"
"How come I don't know this?"
"You are busy at the People's Barber Shop all day long, how would you know? So the Li family must not forget the Tang family. Without the Tang family, there would be the Li family? But it is better not to let the Li family exist now."
"Li Li, why do you say such things? Let me tell you, Mr. Li has entrusted me to help you maintain the reputation of the Li family."
"But if those two beasts are still the Li family, can you protect the Li family's reputation? Is it useful for you to do so?"
"If it is confirmed that they are not Master Li's biological children and that they are the culprits who killed Aunt Li, I will definitely expel them from the Li family and make them wear sackcloth and mourn for Aunt Li, kneeling in front of Aunt Li's grave to pay for her life!"
"Tang Qing, this is what you said."
"I said it, I said it at the People's Barber Shop!"
"Then let me first thank you for my mother, and thank you for my father."
"Don't give me any trouble. You haven't told me what Master Li said to you the last time you saw him?"
"Didn't I keep talking? It was you who interrupted me."
"Then you continue."
After Tang Qing's father's earnest persuasion, Li Li finally agreed to go back to the Li family's old house to meet Mr. Li.
Mr. Li was lying in bed at that time and could not walk. After all, he was already an old man.
When Mr. Li saw Li Li, he jumped out of bed and was so happy.
Some people say it's because people feel refreshed when happy events happen, some people say it's a reflection of their past, and some people say it's because Li Li and Aunt Li look so much like each other, which reminds Mr. Li of Aunt Li and brings him back to those days.
No matter what the reason, Mr. Li accompanied Li Li around the old house for a whole day, telling Li Li about every house in the old house, the purpose and experience of every item, and of course, he also handed over Aunt Li's belongings to Li Li completely.
.
Master Li told Li Li that in addition to the Tang family, there was another person in Yancheng who Li Li could not forget, and that was Lao Longtou.
Mr. Li said that Lao Longtou had always wanted to find the person who bullied Aunt Li, who was Li Li's biological father. But that man was very powerful at the time. Not only did he not admit that he had behaved like an animal, he also suppressed Lao Longtou with unfounded charges.
He almost put Lao Longtou in jail. Fortunately, Lao Longtou was still a fighting hero, so dirty water couldn't be poured on him, but he just didn't have the chance to be promoted.
In order not to affect Lao Longtou's normal life, Master Li stopped mentioning Aunt Li's unfair past. This is what Grandpa Tang Qing meant when he told Tang Qing not to mention the Li family or the Li family in front of Old Longtou.
"Master Long has a strong personality and is just and upright. I know this, but why are you so concerned about your mother's affairs?"
"My father said that Mr. Long transferred from the army to the local area. At first, he worked in a key department, and his position was not low. When he learned about my mother, he was filled with indignation and took the initiative to find my father and my mother and praised me.
Dad acted bravely to save my mother, and he was willing to be my father regardless of his own reputation."
"Master Li is indeed a righteous man and deserves praise from all of us."
"Long Ye also said that he would definitely find out the person who bullied my mother and make him plead guilty and brought to justice. Unfortunately, the legal system at that time was not as sound as it is now. Not only did Long Ye fail to redress my mother's grievances, he was also suppressed himself. He was able to maintain
It’s not easy to have an identity on the scene.”
"Long Ye must also be a fan of your mother."
"Qingtuan League, did we have the term "fans" at that time?"
"A theater fan, he must be your mother's theater fan. Your mother must be a good singer and her character must be first-rate, otherwise she wouldn't bear the humiliation and go away with the injustice."
"Well, what's the point of talking about this now?"
"Yes, I must let Aunt Li's beautiful image return to the stage, so that future generations will know that she is a good actor with both virtue and art!"
"Qingtuan, when you were in school, you were not as good at speaking as you are now, and your Chinese scores were not very good. How can you use adjectives and idioms now?"
"Hey, my grandpa told me to read more books. If I don't have time to read or if I get a headache from reading, I should listen to the radio more and pay more attention to national affairs. Although we are just a small citizen, our country will be better off with me!"
"It seems that Grandpa Tang is really not a simple person. If you had listened to your grandpa earlier, you would definitely be the most promising among our classmates."
"Hey, people, only when you reach a certain age can you realize that what the adults say is right. Hey, Li Li, do you still remember that one of our classmates?"
"Eighteen urine? Is he the one who stinks all day long?"
"Yes, we must find him. He must be related to the person who set you up!"
Tang Qing believed that the man who destroyed Li Li's villa on New Year's Eve was instigated by that person.
