Chapter 862: Father and Son

The way this child squatted on the ground made people feel distressed when he saw it. At this moment, he lowered his head and did not speak. You could just see the tears falling on the ground drop by drop. Although he was crying, he did not make any sound. Come.

Next to him, stood an unshaven man. The man was looking for something in a small cloth bag. Xu Qingnan and Li Yi could tell that the small cloth bag was the child's wallet. The two dollars Li Yi gave him just now were all Keep it in your wallet.

The man smelled of alcohol all over his body, and the lingering smell filled the surrounding air. As he got closer, he could hear the pointing fingers from the onlookers around him.

"This guy sits here every day, either drinking or drinking. He is so lucky to have such a sensible son!"

"This child is also very pitiful. He has such a father, and all the money he finally earned was used by this bastard to drink..."

"With a father like this, it's really better not to have one!"

After listening to a few words, Li Yi could probably understand what was going on. It seemed that the people who set up stalls here before were all this drunken and sloppy man, who was the father of this little boy, but he didn't know why. For some reason, this father always comes to drink with the money earned from setting up a stall. Li Yi has heard a lot about such people and such things, and has encountered many, but he does not comment on the unknown full story. It’s better to understand the truth first before speaking.

Seeing the man's obviously impatient look and the child's stubborn figure squatting on the ground, Li Yi sighed, then clapped his hands and said, "Let's all leave! Stop watching other people's family affairs." ! Leave it alone! Stop hanging around here!"

The surrounding onlookers dispersed after hearing Li Yi's words. As they walked, they were still talking about how unreliable this man was and how pitiful this child was.

After Li Yi saw that the crowd had dispersed, he turned around and looked at the man. Xu Qingnan first stepped forward to help the child up from the ground. Li Yi gave Xu Qingnan a look. Xu Qingnan immediately understood and pulled He walked aside with the child.

Li Yi himself came to the man and asked with a smile: "Are you the father of this child?

Hello, my name is Li Yi! "

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then waved his hand impatiently and said: "Get up, get out of the way, I have to buy a drink, I don't have time to gossip!"

Li Yi stood motionless, with his hands folded in front of his chest, and said, "I'm very curious. Who would let his son set up a stall here, and then go drink by himself, using his son's earnings from setting up the stall?" The money that came back! Is there something hidden in this that I don’t know about?

Because I see you..."

"I see you still care about your son!"

Speaking of this, Li Yi's eyes slowly narrowed.

The man was stunned for a moment, but fell silent. He didn't rush to speak, and just sat directly behind the stall on the cold ground.

He was still holding half a bottle of liquor in his hand. He shook it, took a sip, and said lightly: "You are the only one who understands the truth. The other people know nothing!"

Sure enough, there was something he didn't know about! Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. There are so many fathers in the world, how can any father not feel sorry for his son?

Anyway, I have never encountered it! "

The man nodded, let out a long sigh, and said: "I was originally in business, in the fabric business, and I ran a factory. During the reform last year, the factory was shut down, and I lost my source of income. I just relied on It would be difficult for a family of three to survive with that little savings.”

According to this man's words, Li Yi made a simple analysis.

First of all, the factory closed down. This was the beginning of everything. The man originally had a small factory, which was engaged in the clothing and fabric business. After the reform, the factory closed down because he had no choice but to pay wages. This factory was opened with a loan, and he owed a lot of money to the bank, so the man had no choice but to work. Fortunately, he opened a shop that sewed and washed clothes. It was rare for men to do needlework, but there was nothing he could do to make a living. , this man’s craftsmanship is not bad, and he lives his life reluctantly.

Later, the child's mother, the man's wife, finally couldn't help but file for divorce.

The man's wife, who is five years younger than the man, is the youngest and most restless at the time. She cannot accept the man doing needlework to support the family. First, she does not earn much, and she still has to pay off the loan. , and another thing is that if a big man does needlework, it will make people laugh if he talks about it.

If she couldn't accept it, she would have to divorce. However, the woman was very good to her son and decided to take her son away too.

Although the man felt uncomfortable, he also knew that letting the child stay with the woman was actually the best choice. He was really barely making ends meet, so he didn't put forward any opinions.

The problem lies with the child. The child doesn’t want to leave! He just wants to follow his father!

So he stubbornly stayed by the man's side. When the man beat him or scolded him, the child was like a stubborn calf. He just stood there and shed tears without saying a word. When the man's anger subsided, this child Children do whatever they need to do, and their academic performance is always good.

And the food is also very good. Every time a man makes money, he will buy a lot of meat for his children, but he only eats the cheapest pickles and drinks the lowest quality wine.

After hearing this, Li Yi actually understood some of the man's intentions, that is, he wanted to use this method to get the child to find his mother.

According to the man, the child's mother found a good family, who seemed to be the owner of a coal mine, and had not forgotten the child. She had always wanted to take the child away, but the child refused to leave and was determined not to recognize this mother and wanted to live with his father.

The child's academic performance was very good, and the man never had to worry about it. He often helped the man cook, buy vegetables, and wash clothes. The little kid never said a word of hardship or tiredness, which made the man feel even more distressed.

The child will go to junior high school next year. Half of the wall of the house is hung with award certificates. When the teacher came to visit the family, he was surprised by the child's living environment. He told the man more than once that the child was excellent in both character and learning, but he just needed to eat more meat. When he left, he left two pounds of pork for the man.

The more sensible the child was, the more distressed the man was, and the more sorry he felt.

So the man began to hope to use this method to drive the child away.
