He was gnashing his teeth. Although Pan Guangcai was rich and powerful, he was still a farmer. His roots and the graves of eight generations of his ancestors were on this piece of land.
Now that his son had done such a thing, Old Pan's family would really have no face in the future!
The older he got, the more he cared about his reputation.
In the past, when people called him Old Miser Pan, he didn't care. He thought it was frugality. His family didn't have a mine, so if he didn't save it, he could only starve. This was the difference in their values.
But now, it was a moral issue. There was a line that everyone agreed on. If one crossed this line, he was not human!
"What do you mean?" Li He had a premonition.
"If the child's mother had found someone else, I wouldn't have said anything." Pan Guangcai waved his hand and led Li He a few steps forward to avoid other people's eyes. "But I've investigated this girl. Ever since she broke up with my Pan Cheng, she hasn't found anyone else. After the child was born, she fell out with her family. It's really not easy for a woman to take care of a child and work.
The girl is good, and the child is even better. Since Pan Cheng is so disappointing, I have no reason not to recognize the child. "
But, shouldn't he scold his son?
The old couple didn't have any problems. Their son was spoiled when he was in his mother's womb.
They just didn't educate him well.
"Are you going to raise this child?" This was abandoning the child and starting over! Li He was very supportive of this approach. "Did you bring the child over?"
"How should I put this? Although I was certain that the child was ours as soon as I saw him, I'm a reliable person, so I secretly did a DNA test. When the results came out, I was so excited that I almost cried." Old Pan's family finally had a successor. "I told the girl to come back with us, but think about it. She's been wronged for so many years, so how could she agree so easily?
Besides, she's not after money. If she really wanted money, she would have come back eight hundred years ago. She wouldn't have waited until now. "
"Then how did you know?" Li He asked curiously.
"If Wu You hadn't told me, how would I have known?" Pan Guangcai sighed and said, "Wu You has been hiding such a ridiculous thing for this son of a bitch all this time. If it wasn't for the fact that this child is sick and hospitalized now, she wouldn't even be willing to say it."
"Is it serious?"
"It's just a case of chicken pox. It's no big deal," Pan Guangcai said with a smile. "She heard about it and thought it was a serious illness, so she hurriedly told me about it. In fact, she felt sorry for the child. The house they lived in in Shenzhen was not as big as our kitchen. If we didn't take care of it, it would be ruined.
Although the school I went to wasn't good, I got a hundred marks in every subject. Didn't you see the handwriting? Every stroke is so neat. "
He could not suppress the joy on his face no matter what.
"What about the child now?" Li He continued to ask.
"In the beginning, I tried everything I could to persuade the child's mother, but she didn't agree. People care about their pride. Pan Wei dumped her, and she came back like this. She had no place to hide her face." The two of them chatted as they walked. Before they knew it, they had already reached the river slope. Pan Guangcai pointed to the fish pond not far away and said, "Let's go over there and fish?"
"Yes." Li He reached into his pocket and asked for a cigarette. After lighting it, he said, "Continue talking."
"We stayed in Shenzhen for half a month. Your sister-in-law got a new house for them. You know, your sister-in-law has been buying houses with your sister and Duan Mei all these years. There are more than a dozen buildings in Shenzhen alone. It's not a bad place to live. After a lot of persuasion, she let them live in it." "That's right.
The caigang house next to the fish pond was not locked. Pan Guangcai pushed the door open and went in. He refilled Li He's teacup and said, "I'm going to find a fishing rod."
Li He took a shovel and dug two earthworms on the ridge next to the field.
Pan Guangcai handed him the fishing rod, and he hooked it directly on the hook.
"This is not fishing. It's obviously fishing." As soon as the hook was hooked, the fish bit the bait. The fishing rod was bent like a bow, and it was still shaking. The fish kept jumping on the water. Li He pulled out a Crucian Carp, which weighed about three ounces.
"I've never cleaned the fish pond before. After the New Year, I added another five to six thousand fish. I can eat three bags of wheat bran every day." Pan Guangcai moved two stalls over and stuffed one under Li He's butt. He then sat down and handed a cigarette to Li He. Seeing that he took it, he lit it for him. "Your sister-in-law also moved in with you. She washes and cooks for you and your mother.
Humans all have a conscience. If we treat others with sincerity, will they not think well of us?
Your sister-in-law told her to not think for herself, but for the child, right?
Just like that, she barely moved to the provincial capital.
Your sister-in-law has been accompanying her. She sends the child to and from school every day. She's very happy.
Ever since her heart surgery, she's been like a lost soul. She hasn't smiled. To be honest, half of the reason I'm willing to bring the child back is because of her. She'll be with us when we're old. Maybe we'll have a few more years together. "
He had quarreled with his wife since he was young. He had even fought with her. There was never a day of peace.
He even swore in front of the whole village that he would change his wife when he had money. He would fix this shrew!
Later, he really became rich. He made a lot of money, but he did not change his wife. That was because she was not only a wife who gave birth to his children, but also a family member. She was an inseparable part of his life.
He firmly believed that even if he searched the whole world, he would never find a woman who was willing to accompany him to cut wheat under the scorching sun, work until dawn during the autumn harvest season, and endure hardships with him.
Quarreling was one thing, but the meat dishes at home would always be in his bowl. Even when he drank porridge, his porridge was too thick to stir, and his wife's porridge was too thin.
His wife was diagnosed with acquired heart disease and had to undergo surgery. The moment she was pushed into the operating room, he felt like the sky had collapsed. He squatted alone on the deserted stairs and cried. Panic occupied most of his heart. If he lost his wife and was left alone, what would he do for the rest of his life?
At the same time, he felt regret and guilt. If he hadn't angered her when he was young, she wouldn't have had a heart disease.
"Pan Chi knows?" Li He pulled up another Crucian Carp. He didn't feel any sense of accomplishment, so he put away the fishing rod.
"How can I care about him? I've already told him that if he dares to anger his mother, I'll skin him alive." Pan Guangcai snorted coldly. "I don't care if he recognizes him as a son or not, but I'll definitely recognize him as my grandson. Tomorrow, I'll bring the child back to visit the grave. I don't care if people laugh at me or not. "
"How many tables are we going to set up?" Li He asked with a smile.
"A few tables are not enough. At least a few dozen tables." Pan Guangcai laughed.
Pan Chi is dead. That was Li He's first thought.
