Liu Mingda was very reluctant to return to the rental house because of his parents' unreasonable behavior. After get off work, he could not help but want to run to Wang Peining's place. If he did not go back, he was worried that his parents would have a fierce conflict and fight. If anything happened to them, he, as the son, would suffer. He had no choice but to return to the rental house.
When he got home, he thought he could have a hot meal, but he was extremely annoyed to see the cold stove. His father had been a slacker before, and now even his mother had quit. He looked at the closed bedroom door, stood in front of Hu Xialan's door and knocked.
After a few minutes, Hu Xialan's eyes were dull and she quietly opened the door. Looking at Liu Mingda outside, she smiled and asked, "Mingda, are you off work? I'll make you what you like to eat. Is your dad playing chess again? Go call him and ask him to come back and help me cook."
Liu Mingda frowned, thinking that his mother looked a little strange at this moment, so he asked, "Isn't my dad in the next room?"
Hu Xialan blinked and laughed at herself. It turned out to be a dream. She thought she and Han Ze were still together. She looked at Liu Mingda calmly: "Mingda, your father wants to remarry me. What do you think?"
Liu Mingda was stunned. His mother asked this question so suddenly that he had no idea how to answer.
Hu Xialan taunted, "Why? Is it hard to answer?"
Liu Mingda found that his parents often made him feel powerless. He said, "Mom, just do whatever you want in your heart. There is no need to ask for my opinion. No matter what, I support you."
Hu Xialan suddenly burst into tears. Her eyes were red and she yelled hysterically, "I will never remarry your father even if I die."
Liu Mingda said in a deep voice: "No one asked you to remarry him. He was released from prison and had nowhere to go, so he just lived here temporarily."
Hu Xialan sniffed and grabbed Liu Mingda's arm: "Mingda, I want to move out. You rent me another house. I don't want to live with Liu Bingshen."
Liu Mingda was extremely impatient. He said with a stern face, "Mom, the rent for this house is over a thousand. If I rent another house, it will be over a thousand. The rent is over three thousand. Adding the living expenses, I don't have to save money to buy a house. Mingkai is working now, so you can ask him to send you some money. You can't ask me to pay for everything."
Speaking of Liu Mingkai, Hu Xialan seemed to have found a ray of hope. Her eyes lit up slightly. She wanted to get rid of Liu Bingshen. It would be best to leave this city and find Mingkai. No matter whether he was filial or not, she was his mother and she had to take care of him.
Hu Xialan looked at Liu Mingda and said, "I want to go to Xia City to find Mingkai. You can take me there tomorrow."
Liu Mingda wanted to say that he had to go to work tomorrow, but then he thought about it and said, "Okay, it's the weekend after tomorrow, I'll take a day off tomorrow and take you there." After saying that, he looked around and remembered Liu Bingshen, and asked, "Where's my dad?"
Hu Xialan shook her head and said unhappily, "How would I know? Maybe he's gone somewhere else to fool around again."
Liu Mingda pursed his lips and said, "It's getting late, let's cook some noodles and have something to eat."
Thinking that she would be able to get rid of Liu Bingshen by going to her youngest son's place, Hu Xialan saw that Liu Mingda was also in a good mood, so she said, "Okay, wait, it will be ready soon."
After dinner, Hu Xialan started packing her luggage. Liu Mingda called Liu Mingkai. Although Liu Mingkai didn't want his mother to come and disturb him, she was his biological mother after all, and he couldn't just leave her there, so he had no choice but to agree.
In the morning, Hu Xialan went out to buy breakfast. After eating, the mother and son called a truck and went to Xia City. Liu Bingshen hadn't come back for two days and had spent all his money. When he finally returned to the rental house, he saw that the house was empty. Hu Xialan had moved all her things away.
He was furious. He picked up the new phone Liu Mingda had bought for him, called Liu Mingda, and asked, "Do you know that your mother ran away?"
Liu Mingda was on his way back from Xia City when he received a call from Liu Bingshen. His face darkened: "Dad, you and Mom are divorced. She doesn't want to be entangled with you, so she moved to Mingkai's place. As for you, just live in the rental house."
Liu Bingshen asked gloomily: "What about you?"
Liu Mingda said without thinking: "I live with Pei Ning."
Liu Bingshen said angrily: "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Liu Mingda pursed his lips and said, "Dad, I will give you living expenses."
Liu Bingshen crossed his legs, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've run out of money, give me another 2,000 yuan."
Liu Mingda was shocked and angry: "It's only been a few days, and the two thousand yuan has been used up?"
Liu Bingshen leaned back on the sofa and said in a very shameless manner: "I don't care, you give me the money immediately, otherwise you should know what I will do."
Liu Mingda clenched his fists in hatred. He endured it and said, "I'll give it to you right after I get back."
Liu Bingshen smiled triumphantly. After getting the money, he disappeared for a few days again. In just two months, he asked Liu Mingda for nearly 20,000 yuan. However, Liu Mingda was threatened by him and was his biological father, so he could do nothing but give him the money.
Just as he was about to get the manager position, he suddenly received a call from the police station, saying that his father, Liu Bingshen, had been arrested for possessing drugs.
Liu Mingda only felt a buzzing in his head and his eyes went dark.
In a blink of an eye, several years passed. During this period, many things happened. Han Feiyu got married and had children, but Han Shutao still had no intention of dating. Han Ze was unwilling to control her in this regard. After all, he didn't know that she would be happy after getting married.
That day, Han Ze took his grandson to the park to play. As he was playing ball with his grandson, he heard a hesitant voice from the side.
"Uncle Han?"
Han Ze turned his head and was slightly surprised: "Wang Peining?"
From the corner of my eye, I saw a little girl about one year old standing next to her, obviously Wang Peining's daughter.
Wang Peining noticed his gaze, smiled and picked up the girl, and said, "Uncle Han, this is my daughter."
Han Ze smiled and nodded. Wang Peining wanted to say something, but a man came over, glanced at Han Ze, and said gently: "Let me hold the girl, you take a rest."
The little girl called out "Dad" and lay on the man obediently.
Han Ze raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Wang Peining did not marry Liu Mingda. This couple, who had been in love for more than ten years, finally parted ways under the cruel blow of reality.
"grandfather."
Han Ze turned around and saw his grandson calling him. He smiled and said, "I'll go first."
Wang Peining smiled and said, "Okay. Goodbye, Uncle Han."
Han Ze led his grandson out of the park. Wang Pei stared at his back and shook her head. She didn't expect to see Uncle Han here. She felt that it was all in her previous life. After all, she hadn't seen Liu Mingda for many years. She didn't know where he had gone. His former assistant said that he went to the mountain village to teach.
However, no matter where he went, she was now married with children and had nothing to do with him anymore.
One day, Han Ze was helping his grandson with his homework. His mother was sitting next to him watching the news on a tablet. Suddenly, she said indignantly, "What kind of things can happen? The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their grandson to the supermarket. The grandson was hit by a durian. The daughter-in-law felt sorry for the child and took it out on the mother-in-law. She resented her mother-in-law for not taking good care of the child. The two quarreled and fought in the supermarket. The shelves were overturned and all the goods fell on the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law's brain was blocked and she was paralyzed by the hitting."
Han Ze smiled but said nothing. Han Shutao yawned and came out of the room. Hearing her words, he asked curiously, "Let me see, let me see."
Han Feiyu's wife handed the tablet to Han Shutao. Han Shutao took it and looked at it. She frowned and said, "Hey, why does this mother-in-law look so familiar?"
Han Ze glanced at her, and Han Shutao suddenly said loudly: "Why does this woman look so much like Hu Xialan? Dad, take a look..."
Han Ze leaned over to take a look, and it was indeed Hu Xialan. His expression was a bit complicated. In his previous life, Liu Bingshen pushed him downstairs and paralyzed him. In this life, Hu Xialan became paralyzed because of a fight with his daughter-in-law. Was this a tit-for-tat
A few years later, Han Shutao suddenly announced that she was going to get married. She was almost 40 years old at that time. Han Ze met the man, who was an honest and simple high school teacher. The man didn't talk much and had never been married. His parents were no longer alive. He had a house but no car. Although he didn't earn as much as Shutao, he was very caring and considerate to Shutao.
Han Ze, the father, was surprised when he saw it, but he finally felt relieved.
In the previous life, after hearing about their original bodies' death, these two children suspected that there was something fishy about their father's death and kept suing the Liu family. Although Liu Bingshen was eventually sent to prison again and Hu Xialan and her son were punished, they were exhausted. The two children rejected marriage from the bottom of their hearts and remained single all their lives.
When Han Shutao's child was over two years old, Han Ze closed his eyes.
Although Han Feiyu and Han Shutao were sad, they were not very upset. Their father had done something wrong, and although he later changed his ways and gave the family property to them, it seemed that their father did not want to please them, let alone get their forgiveness. He just lived with them peacefully and treated them peacefully.
Congratulations to the tasker for completing the first task: leaving the property and house to Han Feiyu and Han Shutao, and reward points of 200. Congratulations to the tasker for completing the second task: divorcing Hu Xialan, and reward points of 200. Congratulations to the tasker for completing the third task, changing the fate of Han Feiyu, Han Shutao and the original body, and reward points of 600.
Han Ze returned to the strange room again.
System: Tasker, do you want to arrange the next task
Han Ze nodded, "Let's arrange it."
System: OK.
The scene flashed, and Han Ze was already in another world. He was sleeping in bed. He opened his eyes and looked around. It should be morning. The decoration in the room should be modern. He contacted the system in his mind: "Send me the original body's memory first."
System: OK, tasker.
A lot of memories flooded into his mind. Han Ze felt a little uncomfortable. He lay down for a while and sorted out those messy memories. The original body in this world was a retired soldier and taxi driver. After graduating from university, his only daughter Han Doudou traveled abroad and visited her good friend Xu Yining who was studying abroad.
When returning to China, Xu Yining asked her to bring gifts to her friends in China. The two were high school classmates and had a close relationship. Han Doudou trusted Xu Yining so much that she put the things Xu Yining asked her to bring directly into her suitcase without even looking at them. However, during the airport inspection, drugs were found in her suitcase. The evidence was irrefutable, and even if Han Doudou argued that the things were not hers, it was useless. She still spent many years in prison, wasting her precious time in prison.
The original body found out a lot of things during the years when Han Doudou was in prison. The reason why Xu Yining harmed Han Doudou was because the boy she liked did not like her but liked Han Doudou instead. Xu Yining hated Han Doudou and tried every means to destroy her.
The original body had several wishes, the most important of which was that Han Doudou could see the true colors of Xu Yining and his gang, draw a clear line between himself and them, be wary of them, and not be harmed by them without knowing the reason.
After knowing what happened, Han Ze sat up, opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Today is the weekend. In the living room, Han Doudou is sitting on the sofa, waiting for Han Ze to get up. When she sees Han Ze coming out, she breathes a sigh of relief and says, "Dad, you finally got up. Give me a thousand yuan. My sneakers are broken. I'll go buy some shoes later."
"A thousand dollars?"
Han Ze's face darkened and he shouted, "You're a student, why are you buying such expensive sneakers?"
Han Doudou pouted: "Each pair of Xu Yining's sneakers costs more than a thousand yuan, and I have never bought any."
Han Ze sat on the sofa and said righteously: "You are a student, and your main purpose is to study. If you want to compete with others, you should compare your academic performance with your classmates, not who wears more expensive clothes or shoes. That will be of no use to you."
Han Doudou's face was full of stubbornness. She said with red eyes, "Study, study. All you do is study all day. Can't you say something else? When Xu Yining asked her mother for money to buy shoes, her mother gave it to her without saying anything. You are not stingy and have a lot of excuses."
Han Ze frowned and asked her in a deep voice: "I remember Xu Yining is better at studying than you?"
Han Dou Dou turned her face away and stopped talking.
Han Ze looked at her and said, "You compare me with Xu Yining's mother, why don't you compare your academic performance with Xu Yining? Don't you always tell me that we are all equal and should respect each other? Even if you are my daughter, I can't ignore your wishes and control you in everything. Since we are all equal, you should also compare your academic performance with others."
Han Doudou turned around suddenly and angrily accused him: "You are making up stories."
Han Ze's face was full of sternness. He said seriously, "I am not making unreasonable arguments. Rights and obligations are mutual. You have the right to make demands on me, but as my daughter, you also have the obligation to fulfill my demands. Equality and mutual respect are what you said. If you cannot fulfill your obligations, then I can take back your rights at any time. Otherwise, it will undermine the principles of equality and mutual respect."
Han Doudou wrinkled his nose, rolled his eyes slightly, looked at Han Ze, and asked, "What do you mean by talking so much?"
Han Ze said calmly, "They're just a pair of shoes that cost a thousand yuan. Although they're expensive, I can afford them. I can just save some money this month. As long as you can meet my requirements, I can buy them for you."
Han Doudou said reluctantly: "I knew you were not that easy to talk to. Xu Yining is one of the top students in our school. How can I be equal to her with my grades? Even if I work hard, I can't catch up with her."
Han Ze raised his eyebrows and said, "I know that with your current grades, it's impossible for you to catch up with Xu Yining. I didn't ask you to achieve this requirement immediately."
Han Doudou said, "Dad, I don't think I can catch up with Xu Yining no matter how long it takes."
Han Ze sighed and looked at her: "Doudou, since you can say this, why can't you understand why your father doesn't buy you such expensive sneakers?"
Han Doudou pouted: "What does this have to do with buying shoes?"
Han Ze said, "It is very difficult for you to improve your academic performance, but for me, I will be reluctant to spend a thousand yuan to buy a pair of sneakers no matter what. I only have a few thousand yuan a month. Apart from your tuition and our living expenses, how much money can I have left? You have your difficulties, and Dad has his difficulties. If you can't understand me, how can you expect me to understand you? After all, respect is mutual, and understanding is also mutual."
Han Doudou lowered her head and said nothing. She knew that it was difficult for her father to make money, but all these years she just wanted to buy him a pair of better sneakers.
Han Ze looked at her and slowed down his tone: "You are my daughter. Even if I cannot meet your request, I will try my best to help you meet it. It's just a pair of sneakers. But what about you? Can you also meet my requirements?"
Han Doudou's eyes were red. "But it's OK if my grades improve by a few places. It's really hard to catch up with Xu Yining. Your requirements are too high."
Han Ze looked at him sternly: "It's not that you have to catch up with Xu Yining in grades. Your teacher told me that you often go out to play games with Xu Yining's friends, right?"
Han Doudou pursed her lips tightly. She didn't expect the teacher to tell her father about this.
Han Ze said in a deep voice: "Xu Yining's grades are so good, but she didn't go out to play games. You have average grades, but you still play games with her friends. Aren't you friends? Why can't you learn from her? You even competed with her when buying things."
Han Dou Dou felt a little ashamed. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Han Ze looked at her and said seriously, "As long as you promise me that you won't go out with them to play games anymore and go out with them less often in the future, I can buy you shoes."
Han Doudou immediately said, "Dad, they are my friends, how can I not go out and play with them? Don't you think this request is too unreasonable?"
Han Ze said expressionlessly, "I don't think this request is unreasonable. If they were your friends, they wouldn't instigate you to play games with them and affect your studies. Besides, they are children from wealthy families who spend money like water. Some activities are not suitable for you. Avoid them if you can, lest you develop vanity from what you hear and see."
Han Doudou argued, "When did I become vain?"
Han Ze glanced at her and said, "In my opinion, comparing the value of clothes and shoes with others is vanity."
Han Doudou stopped talking again.
Han Ze asked again: "Can you agree to this request?"
Han Doudou pouted and said, "It's only a thousand yuan, and you actually asked so many things of me."
Han Ze smiled and said, "You can also make demands on me. We can restrain each other. Don't you dislike my drinking? I can quit drinking."
Han Doudou was stunned. No one knew better than her how much her father was addicted to alcohol. However, her father was a driver and could only drink on his days off. On that day, he would drink to his heart's content. She was worried about his health and tried to persuade him not to drink, but when his craving for alcohol came, he wouldn't listen at all and would even scold her. She was completely helpless.
She asked incredulously, "Are you really willing to stop drinking?"
Han Ze nodded, his tone serious and firm: "You know best how serious Dad's alcohol addiction is. But in order for you to stop playing games and affecting your studies, Dad is willing to quit drinking. We will supervise each other. Do you think this request is difficult?"
Han Doudou still didn't believe it, so he asked again: "Are you really willing to quit drinking?"
Han Ze promised, "I'll quit drinking if I say so." After a pause, he said, "Today is the weekend. You don't have school and I don't have work. How about we start from today?"
Han Doudou frowned. She had made an appointment with someone to play games for two hours last night, so how could she break the appointment
Han Ze spread his hands: "It seems that my daughter doesn't care about my health that much. In her heart, my health is not as important as her game."
Han Doudou immediately said, "How is that possible? I really care about your health. It's just a game, so don't play it. If you can get rid of your alcohol addiction, I can get rid of my game addiction. We can supervise each other."
Han Ze smiled and patted his daughter's head: "I know my daughter is filial and doesn't want her father to drink and ruin his health."
Han Doudou snorted, "I knew my dad was cunning. He actually threatened me with his own health to stop me from playing games. I am just a considerate little girl. If I were a little rebellious and had the same temper as my eldest aunt's Tongtong, your trick would definitely not work."
Han Ze said with relief: "Doudou, Dad knows that you are a good child, so I ask this of you and myself at the same time. We are father and daughter and we will advance and retreat together."
I thought to myself, if you really have the same temper as Yang Tongtong, I will change my approach. Children with different personalities must have different educational methods.
As the father and daughter were talking, Han Doudou's cell phone rang and she glanced at Han Ze.
Han Ze said, "Take it."
Han Doudou opened her phone and saw that it was Xu Yining calling. She smiled and said hello.
Xu Yining on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Doudou, what are you doing at home? Come out and play."
Han Doudou glanced at Han Ze and said apologetically, "Yining, I have to supervise my dad at home today. You know he likes to drink, and I'm afraid he'll get drunk when I'm not at home."
Xu Yining paused, the smile on her face faded slightly, and she continued: "It's your birthday soon, I want to pick a birthday present for you, aren't you coming?"
Han Doudou felt that for her father's health, a birthday gift was a small matter. She smiled and said, "You can pick whatever you want. We are good friends. It's just a birthday gift. I don't mind."
Xu Yining said regretfully: "I originally wanted to buy you that dress you've liked for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be unwilling to try it on..."
Han Doudou was not shaken after hearing her words. Although her father's words were unpleasant to hear, they were very true. Her family was not well off, and she could not develop the habit of comparing herself with others, let alone take advantage of others. The skirt cost more than a thousand yuan. If she really accepted Xu Yining's gift, what would she give back to her on Xu Yining's birthday
She said jokingly, "Just buy me a gift worth a few dozen dollars. Don't buy it too expensive. I won't accept it if it's too expensive."
Xu Yining held the phone tightly. When she called, they asked her to press the speakerphone button. They heard everything Han Doudou said. She said unnaturally, "Okay, then will you come out this afternoon? Pan Hao and the others are waiting to play games with you."
Han Doudou said embarrassedly: "Yining, please tell Pan Hao and the others that I can't play games with them today. My father is not going to work today, and I need to supervise him and not let him drink."
Xu Yining hung up the phone, her eyes fell on the tall and handsome boy in front of her, and said with a smile: "You are right, Doudou is really not a vain girl. You can see that she is not willing to accept my expensive gift, so stop talking nonsense."
The other people looked at each other. Xu Yining had said early in the morning that she was going to buy a gift for Han Doudou. As they were talking, Pan Hao mentioned Han Doudou inadvertently and said in a very disdainful tone that she was vain and that she only played with them because they were rich. He asked Xu Yining to be more careful.
He Xinglan said calmly: Han Doudou is not that kind of girl, and asked them not to make up stories about others behind their backs.
Several people started arguing, and finally Pan Hao asked Xu Yining to call Han Doudou to see what she would say. They would know if she really valued them because they were rich.
As a result, Xu Yining made the call, and Pan Hao and the others were slapped in the face. Han Doudou did like expensive things, but she liked them, and she didn't like to take advantage of others. She didn't want to accept expensive birthday gifts.
Pan Hao said awkwardly: "I was a liar. I apologize."
He Xinglan glanced at him and said, "It's not me you should apologize to, but Han Doudou."
Xu Yining's face darkened slightly. She glanced at Pan Hao and said, "Tomorrow when you go to school, you must personally apologize to Han Doudou."
Even though Pan Hao was unwilling, since Xu Yining had spoken, he could only agree, because he liked Xu Yining.
He Xinglan glanced at him and said, "Nothing else, I'll go back."
After saying this, he strode away without waiting for anyone to respond.
Xu Yining looked at his back and clenched her fists.
Here, Han Doudou hung up the phone, looked at Han Ze and said, "Dad, you see I rejected them and I won't go out to play games with them. So you don't drink anymore."
"I definitely won't drink. I mean what I say."
Han Ze smiled and stood up: "I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth, we're going out for breakfast, and then I'll take you to buy shoes."
Han Doudou was happy: "Really?"
I didn’t expect that my father would keep his word. He is indeed a veteran and what he says is what he means.
Han Ze's words came from the bathroom: "Really, consider it your birthday present. When your birthday comes, there will be no presents."
Han Doudou: “… ”
She took back that statement.
The author has something to say: I was stuck today and it’s a little late.
