Chapter 13 was born with another man by your mother.

Ping shan town said it was not big, it was not small, but everyone knew about Li Haitang, mainly because her biological mother, Li Xiaoqin, was pregnant before marriage in those years, and then abandoned her after giving birth to Li Haitang, which was the talk of the Ping shan town people after tea and dinner.

The people of this era were relatively simple. Naturally, they despised and despised Li Xiaoqin's actions and sympathized with Li Haitang, the newborn child. Now seeing her foster mother treat her like this, out of the instinctive care for the weak, the sympathy for her reached a peak.

When Mr. Tang Hui, who was in the office building, got the news, his normally affable face darkened. He immediately went to the principal and the dean and told them everything that had happened outside, then took the initiative to go to the police station to testify.

In addition, with the full support of the wang family and the Wang Li family, Li Haitang was naturally innocent.

This matter had a big impact on the school, and Li Haitang's results were obvious to all. She was the seed of the Ping shan middle school, and the principal was worried that it would affect her normal performance in the middle school examination, so he held a special meeting on this matter. After that, he went to Lee ka tsuen himself and gave Deng Wenfang a stern scolding.

Naturally, Deng Wenfang's behavior did not constitute a crime, but the impact was very bad. The police station also sent people to educate her.

Everyone in Lee ka tsuen was so angry that they cursed her behind her back. It was a pot of rat shit that ruined a pot of soup. This garrulous woman had humiliated all of Lee ka tsuen.

What was really surprising was that Li Jianguo did not remain silent this time. After hearing this from someone in the town's granary, he ran home angrily, slapped Deng Wenfang twice in front of many people, and spat out two words coldly: divorce.

Deng Wenfang was stunned on the spot. When he came back to his senses, his mouth was like a firecracker again. He pointed at Li Jianguo and cursed loudly.

This time, Li Jianguo was very determined, regardless of Li Ting and Li Tao's crying and pleading, and insisted on the divorce with a strong attitude. And without any hesitation, he asked a tractor driver from the village to drive the car over. He pushed Deng Wenfang into the car and went to the town civil affairs bureau to settle the divorce. In the divorce letter, he noted that his daughter Li Ting belonged to Deng Wenfang and his son Li Tao belonged to Li Jianguo.

Deng Wenfang burst into tears in the civil affairs bureau, determined not to agree to divorce, unwilling to sign. Later, Li Jianguo dragged her out to the corner and said something, but Deng Wenfang came back and signed with a pale face.

No one in Lee ka tsuen had expected this quiet man to have such a determined side, nor had they guessed that Deng Wenfang, who had always been a troublemaker, would agree to a divorce. They always felt that it was not as simple as it seemed, but they did not go into it.

Li Ting didn't expect her parents to divorce suddenly, and she had to leave the house with her mother in the future. The more she thought about it, the more she panicked and cried.

Li Tao was also very upset. He was already 12 years old and naturally knew how bad it was for his parents to get divorced. He wanted to open his mouth to persuade them, but when he saw Li Jianguo's gloomy eyes, he closed his mouth and silently turned his back to shed tears.

The next day, Deng Wenfang and Li Ting were sent back to Deng Wenfang's mother's house, along with the property of a tractor.

Seeing his mother and sister being sent away so ruthlessly, Li Tao suddenly had a trace of hatred for Li Jianguo, and naturally hated the innocent Li Haitang.

Although Li Jianguo didn't say much, he was actually more sensitive and delicate. After everyone in the village left, he closed his door and called Li Tao into the bedroom. His voice was very low and deep, "Taoer, don't blame dad for being ruthless. For you, I've tolerated your mother for more than ten years. Dad wanted to turn a blind eye to the rest of his life, but your mother went too far. If you allow her to continue fooling around like this, your future will be ruined by her."

Li Tao did not understand what he meant by this and asked in a hoarse voice, "Dad, what exactly do you want to say?"

Li Jianguo closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a voice that both father and son could hear, "Li Ting is not my biological daughter, but your mother gave birth to another man."

The news struck Li Tao like a bolt of lightning, making his ears hum. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. His mouth trembled and he said, "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

"It's true. I heard what your mother told that man. This matter has been weighing on my heart for almost ten years. At that time, you were young, and haitang was also young. If there was no one at home to take care of you, dad could not bear it. After all these years, your mother still had a connection with that man, and dad knew that he didn't want you to be humiliated, so I endured it. But over the years, she's been doing more and more. She and Li Ting have squandered all the money in the family, and she has secretly taken the extra money there. I don't want to think about your son at all. She really makes me feel bad." Li Jianguo seemed much more relaxed when he told the secret he was holding in his heart.

Li Tao had never known that his father had so much to suppress in his heart. He had endured so many grievances silently for him. He was so naughty and stubborn that he seemed to grow up at once, and tears flowed down his eyes.

I've been thinking about divorce for a long time, but I haven't been able to find the right opportunity. This time, I'm taking advantage of the haitang incident to get a divorce. This way, we can keep our reputation as father and son, and give your mother some face. Hey, I made this decision all of a sudden. It's a big impact on you. I hope you understand dad." Li Jianguo's muddy eyes glistened with tears. He had made such a sudden decision. He was afraid that it would hurt the child's mind and that he would resent himself.

Li Tao cried until her eyes were red and swollen. She wiped her tears with both hands and sobbed, "Dad, I'm sorry. It's all because of me. You've been wronged for so many years. I don't blame you for this."

The father and son had never had such a heart-to-heart talk in more than a decade. On this day, they had talked in the bedroom for a long time, and when they came out again, their faces were much better. Li Jianguo felt relaxed, and Li Tao seemed to have grown up in an instant. Then the father and son began to clean up the messy house in tacit agreement.

After Li Haitang returned to the wang family, she learned about it from Wang Li's parents at dinner. She was shocked. Her clear and bright eyes widened to the extreme. She asked in disbelief, "Uncle, auntie, are they really divorced?"

Mother of Wangli nodded and said, "Really, they went to town yesterday to complete the formalities. This morning, I went to the town to check with my acquaintances who opened a shop next to the civil affairs bureau. According to her, at that time, Deng Wenfang was crying and crying, unwilling to divorce, not knowing what happened next, but suddenly agreed. Li Ting lives with Deng Wenfang. I saw the two of them in a tractor this afternoon and brought a lot of things back to her mother's house."

Li Haitang's delicate eyebrows were all twisted into caterpillars, and according to a woman's intuition, this was not simple.

Wang li saw that she was in a daze and did not say anything. She gently pushed her arm and said with concern, "Haitang, you have broken off your relationship with them. Their family matters have nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it."

Li Haitang's heart was in a mess. He pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I know. It's all because of me, and he probably doesn't feel well either. I'll go to the granary tomorrow and ask him."

"Okay, I'll go with you at noon tomorrow." Wang Li picked up a chopstick for her and said, "Don't think about it. Eat first. All these messy things will be dealt with after the exam."

Mother of Wangli immediately echoed, "Yes, the most important thing for you right now is to prepare for the exam. Don't let these trivial things affect your performance. That woman Deng Wenfang is deliberately messing with you. If you can't get good grades, don't fall for her tricks."

Hearing her concern, the gloom in Li Haitang's heart was dispelled, and a faint smile rose from the corner of her mouth. "Auntie is right. I just don't want to be as good as her. She wants me to be abnormal and not get good grades. I have to be extraordinary and get the best grades."

"Haha, that's right. Come on, today yao' er brought back a piece of pork with plenty of oil and water. Mei fang personally cooked her best braised sugar meat. Everyone, have a taste of it." Mother of Wangli smiled lovingly.

"Meat, meat, eat meat..." The little soldier sitting in the cradle smelled the fragrance of meat and urged impatiently.

Mother of Wangli leaned over to pick him up and put him on his thigh. He picked up a small piece of meat and cooled it. He scolded him in a spoiled tone, "It's just a little bit old. You talk about eating meat every day. Today, I took him out to play and made a fuss about buying buns. I bought him a sugar bun, but he still didn't eat it. He had to eat meat buns. She's small and has a sharp nose. She doesn't even blink at the meat bun, just like her aunt when she was a child."

Wang Li, who was gulping down bone soup, was called out by name. He looked up from the bowl and pouted, "My nephew is as smart as an aunt."

Wang Yao laughed and said, "Yes, as smart as you and as greedy as you."

Li Haitang looked at the warm scene of their family loving each other and couldn't help but feel a little envious. This was probably the family love and warmth described in the book. It was very sincere and real.

At lunchtime the next day, Li Haitang took the time to go to the granary to look for Li Jianguo. He was eating in the canteen, and his expression was not as heavy as he had imagined. Instead, there was a faint sense of relief.

Li Jianguo was buried in his meal, but his co-worker pushed him down. He looked up and found Li Haitang at the door. He quickly picked up the few mouthfuls of food left in the bowl, put the empty bowl back into the kitchen, and then walked over.

The father and daughter once walked to a corner. Li Haitang mumbled a few times before finally shouting out, "Dad, I just found out last night that you divorced her. Why did this happen all of a sudden? If it's because she came to school that day to make trouble, you don't have to do this." Deng Wenfang had given birth to a pair of children for him. Although she hated that woman very much, she did not want to divorce them because of her own affairs. She did not want to see that woman come to her trouble again.

Li Jianguo had been working in the sun all these years, his skin was tanned and his hands were covered with calluses. He rubbed his hands together and said in a relaxed tone, "Divorce has nothing to do with you, and it wasn't my last decision. I had this idea ten years ago, but because you and Taoer are both young, I haven't made a firm decision. Now that you're all grown up, you're capable of taking care of yourself, and Taoer can do all the housework you can, so I took this opportunity to get a firm divorce."

Li Haitang opened his mouth slightly and did not react for a moment. Instead of mentioning Li Ting, he mentioned himself. A string in his head suddenly broke, and his eyes widened. The corners of his eyes seemed to split open as he stared into his slightly dim eyes.

Li Jianguo knew that she was a smart child and believed that she would understand what he was saying. She took a deep breath with her hands behind her back. "Divorce is sooner or later. It's good to leave now. I told Taoer the truth. He understood what I did, and you don't have to bear it. I heard that you did very well in your preliminary exam. The middle school exam is coming in two days. Take a good exam and don't think about anything else that has nothing to do with your studies."

Li Haitang had never heard him say such a long sentence before. He suppressed his inexplicable emotions and nodded heavily, "Okay, I know. Then I'll go back to school first. Don't work too hard."

Li Jianguo watched her slender figure disappear at the gate, looked up at the sky, exhaled deeply, and then turned back to work in the warehouse.

Wang li, who was waiting outside, saw that her face was very complicated when she came back and did not ask much. She stuffed the old popsicle she had just bought into her hand and said heartlessly, "Haitang, eat the popsicle. It's cool. It's good to eat. Naturally, your mood is also good."

"Okay." Li Haitang smiled, reached out to take it, tore open the plastic bag, and put it in his mouth. It was really refreshing.
