Paternity
Chapter 158



"Sister Xu, thank you for telling me this. I know you only call me like this because you treat me like your own."


Xu Lei's qualifications in the team were not as good as him, but he was a little older than him, so he could be called a brother.


"Today I will also tell you what is in my heart, brother, I am sad!"


As he said that, he immediately took the bottle of wine on the table, and poured the remaining half of the bottle of white wine into his stomach.In an instant, his cheeks blackened and red, and the smell of alcohol smelled in his mouth. confronting.


He was a big man in his thirties, a man who was calm when he met dozens of armed robbers.In the restaurant, he hugged another man and cried loudly, without thinking about his image at all.


He scared Xu Lei's drunkenness.


"What's wrong, let me know if you have any complaints!"


Xu Lei felt that if he had not been persecuted, his brother Bai would not have cried like a child.


"Since I was young, my father sided with my brother. All good things belong to my sister. He taught me to listen to my brother. Then we both got married. My brother died unexpectedly. My father had to give me a job, but always told me that this job originally belonged to my brother, but it always belonged to me, so I owe it to my brother and have to take good care of his wife and children. Tsukuru does not see good things, but only my sister - daughter-in-law and niece."


Su Aobai wanted to slowly erase Bai Yuanshen's image, she did not treat him well because she had a long-standing relationship with her brother-in-law and coveted him, it was just a foolish child.


His kindness to his sister-in-law was not a personal relationship, but rather a sense of responsibility to look after his older brother's widow.


"Initially, I really didn't want to understand it. I thought I would treat my sister-in-law and niece well, and they would also treat my son well, so I strongly believe what my sister-in-law said."


As he spoke, he started to choke again.


"He said that Xiang Li and the others were disobedient, so I criticized the children; he said that Xiang Li and Xiang Yan lost their mother at a young age, and the old rule forbids the loss of their mother and eldest daughter. Fame, so I asked Xiang Li and the others to help the family at a young age. In the winter, seeing the chilblain in the child's hands, I felt depressed, but I could only endure it; he said that Xiang Li was only one year older than Xiang Li Min, ' he said , the two children were a bit shy, and they would be bullied when they went to school, why not let Xiang Li wait for a year, when the time came, why not let Xiang Li wait for a year, siblings will go to school together and take care of each other, so I know that Xiang Li misses studying very much, but she still doesn't take him to school ..."


The man did not wipe his tears lightly, but before he reached the point where he was sad, he cried, which made Xu Lei feel sad as well.


"Sister Xu, I trust him a lot, but I trust him too much. I didn't realize it. Unknowingly, the three of them became extremely thin. When the boy's mother was here, they were thin and small.Not very thin, I know, the three children must have blamed me for being a stupid father, seeing them retreat and hide from me as a father at home, I was really heartbroken, I did it too much. guilty and no longer want to find me, I was completely wrong."


He spoke a lot, flipped over, pouring out the words in his heart one after another, after eating, Xu Lei knew everything he had to know.


For example, all the money Su Aobai had earned in these years was in the hands of her sister-in-law, or her eloquent sister-in-law, fooling Su Aobai into treating her three children badly, and he was still a good person in front of Su Aobai …


After Xu Lei heard it, she only felt that her brother Bai was too kind and believed in Xu Hongmei, a woman with a deep heart.


What's wrong with Brother Bai? She had just been brainwashed by her parents to be nice to her older brother when she was a child, and brainwashed by her sister-in-law to treat her badly when she grew up. Fortunately, now he had seen clearly what his sister-in-law was like, and it was not too late.


Xu Lei, who had her own filter, actually took Su Aobai, and the only ones who were wrong were the unscrupulous Xu Hongmei and the dead old man Su.


When he came back, he had to talk to other people, and he could no longer let them slander the second child Hey, the second child is too kind, he has no defense at all.


After Su Aobai confessed, he descended to the ground, right, a bottle of high-powered baijiu like this, no one would stand.


The food on the table was basically untouched. Xu Lei packed meat dishes in his own lunch box. Now that it was cold, he could stay on the road and drink. Then he helped Su Aobai, who was drunk, and slowly forgot about it.


She did not realize that Su Aobai, who should have been drunk in her heart, slightly shook her eyelashes as she lowered her head.


A poor Daoist who died was not as good as a fellow Daoist who died, who told him that he was a real body now, and Xu Hongmei had to bear his own mistakes.

After that, the itinerary becomes smoother, first they deliver personal goods, get receipts, then deliver goods from the factory to the destination.


The South is a pilot place for reform and openness. The business atmosphere here was much stronger than in the northeast. In addition to local products, there are actually many high-end and counterfeit products that flow from the Hong Kong market through various channels.


Xu Lei was an old man, and this return trip was empty, and this was a good opportunity to earn some extra money, He did not hide his secret at all, he did not hide his secret, and take Su Aobai for a walk to find their long-distance bus driver after many years Su Aobai was introduced to the point of purchase and the most reliable and most affordable trader without reservation.


It all depended on that fateful friendship, otherwise Xu Lei would at most tell him that he could pick up some items on the way home, but he would not drag them.


During this trip, Su Aobai obtained many things. Soon, the two began their way back to the city. Out of caution, the two chose a long detour when they returned, and did not pass through the village where the accident took place.


When he returned with a full charge, Xu Hongmei was already looking forward to it.


*****


During this period of time, Xu Hongmei's life was not too easy, Yu Xiaomei, an old woman, could not enter. With Su Aobai's salary and subsidies, he basically gave all the good things in the family to the Su Xiangli brothers. .


Due to the good food and drink, in just one and a half years, the weight of the three children increased a lot, especially Su Xiangli, who was growing up, grew back, as if he was growing up all at once, the difference is very clear.


This way, any fool would know that he, Xu Hongmei, was the one who treated the three children harshly.


Xu Hongmei suffered from the old woman several times, and he did not make use of her. Fortunately, he had all of Su Aobai's income in his hands and saved up a lot of money. Thanks to me and my son, I took the boy to open the small stove once in a while, and said to the outside world that the old woman was frugal, she said, and he and his son Su Jiabao could not get enough food, and I was embarrassed to say that the old woman did not do it properly, so I had to go out to protect my stomach.


These words, in the ears of an insider, were nothing but a joke, except for Yuan Shen and a few confused old men, no one would accept him pretending to be pitiful.


Xu Hongmei comforted himself in his heart, if he could endure it any longer, it would be fine until Su Aobai returned. When he returned, the old woman had to go home desperately. By then, everything would have returned to normal, but things would have been really like him Did it develop as imagined?


*****


"The boy from the Su family is back from a business trip?"


"This time I went south, did I bring something good back?"


As soon as Su Aobai entered the courtyard, he met many neighbors, looking at the items in his hands, everyone was a little excited.


Long-distance bus drivers often get requests from relatives and friends to drag them along with them. If they were close, no one would refuse to carry some items. Before leaving, Su Aobai agreed to the requests of some neighbors.


The neighbors who had come to beg Su Aobai back then all smiled now, and said that they were in no hurry to let Su Aobai go home and take a bath first.


The commotion outside was so loud that the people in the room could also hear it, such as Xu Hongmei, Yu Xiaomei, and a few children.


Looking at Changbai and the fattening Su Xiangli as well as his brothers, Su Aobai's face was filled with indescribable excitement and shock.


Then he nodded in thanks to the old woman, and with much meaning, he looked at Xu Hongmei with complicated eyes until he could not help but smile, looked away and stopped looking at her.


All of his actions and changes in expression were visible to the neighbors on the side.


Everyone was very happy, thinking that Su Jia, the fool, should have found Xu Hongmei's fox tail this time.


*****


In the evening, Yu Xiaomei cooked a large table filled with dishes, and Xiang Li's sister and brother helped the old woman. The youngest, Xiang Yan, was only four years old. He had already been very ignorant of Su Aobai, a father who had been away from home for a while, and had forgotten how he used to be He was not close, Su Aobai had only used a handful of white rabbit toffee, and persuaded him to sit obediently in his father's arms.


"Legs on the wall, little idiot."


Su Xiangmin looked at the cheerful little girl and felt that there was a traitor among them.


"stupid!"


The eldest sister, Su Xiangli, patted her on the head, telling her to hold back the words.


He looked at the main hall, the father hugged his sister, and said something, which made the younger brother giggle, and the meat of his gums opened. It seems like before the Lunar New Year, the father changed. Today, her attitude towards the younger sister, It was something that their brother had never had before.


Su Xiangli was a little envious, of course, thinking about his previous life, he, like his younger brother, felt his younger sister was out of position and easy to bully.


But he knew better that it was a good thing for the little girl to be closer to her father. Suffering since she was a child told her that it was right to benefit. What is in the hands of the father should be given to them, and what is given to the mother and the child a little less.


She wished her father's whole heart to be lied to by her younger sister, so she didn't let her brother destroy her.


Su Xiangmin always listened to his elder sister's words, curled his lips, watched her little sister's pouch filled with sweets, and swallowed it.


Forget it, how could a greedy little cat bear so much candy? My sister is young. When he grows up, he will teach him to withstand enemy artillery fire with a will of steel.


After the rice was cooked, everyone served, including Xu Hongmei and Su Jiabao who disappeared while cooking.


Seeing the uncle who loved him the most back, Su Jiabao, who had been disciplined by the old woman during this period of time, regained her confidence.


"I want to eat sausage, it's all mine, you can't eat it!"


As she said that, she picked up the plate with the sausage and prepared to put it in front of herself.


"Jiabao can't be like this. My brothers have not eaten. Sorry, Aobai. Jiabao was born prematurely and her bones were not good. He needs to eat something good to make up for it. He doesn't I don't want to steal a part of his sisters. I'll teach him. The one who corrected the matter also blamed Dad for loving him so much when he was alive, and let him develop this habit."


Xu Hongmei said in a soft voice, according to the previous practice, Su Aobai should follow his words and say that Jiabao should indeed nourish his body, and then quietly assuming that this dish only belongs to Jiabao, I will make up for it later.


“It's time to change it. In our village, dogs are taught by their owners not to take care of food. If you tell them about the matter of eating alone, one will only think that the host elders are uneducated and cannot teach. Since you want to change it, start from now on. change."


As he said that, the chopsticks in the old woman's hand hit Su Jiabao's arm.


Don't look at the thinness of the old woman, the strength of her hands was extremely strong, Su Jiabao pulled her hands in pain, curled up in her mother's arms and cried loudly.


Xu Hongmei was heartbroken, but Yu Xiaomei followed his words completely, and even if the adults taught the children how to behave at the dinner table, others would not think that Yu Xiaomei made a mistake.


He couldn't find any reason to refute, so he could only stare at Su Aobai, asking her to defend the two of them.


But soon, his heart was racing.


Su Aobai drank in silence, and occasionally stuffed a piece of bacon into the bowl of his three children, without looking at him at all.


This was a bad omen, Xu Hongmei thought of Su Aobai's change before he left, could the other party change his mind?


Saying that he loved the child was because he knew that he was bullying his three children, so his attitude towards him changed drastically.To be honest, Xu Hongmei did not trust him too much.


In fact, anyone who was not blind could figure out how the three brothers lived before, let alone Su Aobai who lived under one roof.


Xu Hongmei did not go too far at first, he tested Su Aobai's bottom line step by step, and found that this selfish man did not care about the three children at all, so she was confident and raised three children. .


Xu Hongmei felt that perhaps Su Aobai had become indifferent to him, or that there was another woman out there.


No, he could not let this huge fish jump out of his tank.


"Xiang Li is no longer young, it's time to go to school, but I can't now, I have to wait until the middle of this year to enroll, he said, just in time I was looking for a relationship so Xiang Min could also go to school a year before."


Su Aobai ignored Su Jiabao's magic voice, and instead threw a huge bomb.


To send him to school!


Su Xiangli's eyes lit up!
