Chapter 222 Time for One Family (1)
Tang Shishi skillfully used the tea set to make tea.
Old Master Ling saw Tang Shishi washing and making tea, her movements were elegant and skillful, like flowing water, and he could tell at a glance that she was a master of tea ceremony, he couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding, his eyes showing admiration.
Geng Changsheng has been with Old Master Ling for many years. Although he is not as proficient as Old Master Ling, he has been exposed to him for so many years, and he knows something. Seeing the graceful movements of Tang poetry, he is happy for Ling Rui. Such a well-educated daughter-in-law is not inferior to those ladies. .
Especially when Geng Changsheng thought of Ling Susu, he looked at Tang Shishi with admiration in his heart.
"Grandpa, please drink tea!" Tang Shishi handed a cup of tea to the old lady Ling respectfully. This was the first time she offered tea to the old lady Ling after she married Ling Rui, so she was very solemn, because she knew, Mrs. Ling is a very particular person in these aspects.
"Yeah!" Old Master Ling took the cup of tea with joyful hands, looked at it carefully, blew on it for a while, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Good tea!"
Tang Shishi smiled, poured a cup for Geng Changsheng, and offered it with both hands: "Uncle Geng, drink tea!"
Geng Changsheng wiped his hands embarrassingly, took it with both hands carefully, and said, "How dare you trouble your young lady to pour me tea." Although he took the cup of tea with both hands, he didn't drink it right away.
Tang Shishi also poured herself a glass, and said nonchalantly: "Why are you young and not many, I only think of you as an elder, but I have never met you!"
"This stinky girl has this kind of temperament, so don't worry about it. You have been in the Ling family for so many years, and this cup of tea is worthy of you!" Old Master Ling said to Geng Changsheng, but he felt Tang Shishi's natural kindness in his heart. Xingzi likes it, no wonder this girl easily captured the hearts of the big family in the Jun family. It's hard not to like such a girl!
"Hey!" Geng Changsheng brought the cup of tea to his mouth, took a small sip, and hurriedly said, "Good tea! Good tea!"
Old Master Ling and Tang Shishi looked at each other and smiled.
"Girl, did you go to Lu Tao's wedding yesterday?" After drinking a cup of tea, Mrs. Ling asked casually.
"Well, I'm going." Tang Shishi knew that Mrs. Ling must have heard something, but she couldn't guess what Mrs. Ling was thinking, so she just responded lightly.
"Hmph! Those shameful bastards!" Old Master Ling suddenly threw the teacup in his hand on the table and cursed angrily.
When he heard the farce at the wedding yesterday, Mrs. Ling was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. He felt as if he had been slapped by someone, and his face was shameless.Of course he knew that Ling Rui had done it all by himself, but he didn't expect that Ling Susu, that incompetent, would do so many shameless things!
I didn't expect that Weiguo's child would have such useless descendants. From Lin Meijuan and Ling Susu, Mrs. Ling completely understood the truth of marrying a wife, such as background, family background, and experience. It's all fake, and it can't stand the test, otherwise it will end up like Ling Weiguo, who will be tricked by his wife and his own son, earning a lifetime of fame, but will be ruined by these useless things when he dies!
"Grandpa, don't be angry, they are self-inflicted, and they have no one to blame! Besides, they have nothing to do with us now." Tang Shishi saw that Old Master Ling was angry, and quickly advised.I'm afraid that he will get angry!She knew that Mrs. Ling's physical condition could not be angry.
"I know all this, I'm not worth it because of your uncle!" Old Master Ling said, his eyes were a little red.Although Ling Weiguo is not his flesh and blood, the two of them have been together for so many years, and they are as close as father and son. Especially recently when he tidied up Ling Weiguo's room, he found a diary inside. Seeing his secrets and confessions that had been hidden for many years, his heart ached. Even more emotional, sad!
"Grandpa, these are all in the past, don't think about it, uncle knows that if you are hurt by these things, you will be uneasy." Tang Shishi softly comforted the old lady Ling.
"Alas!" Old Master Ling sighed, wiped his eyes, and said after a long time: "Girl, I want to visit your uncle and aunt. Your uncle has something, and I have to hand it over to your uncle."
This is the main purpose of Mrs. Ling's visit to Tang Shishi today. Although Tang Guoduan and his wife came on the day of the birthday banquet, they never met again after what happened to Ling Weiguo. Mrs. Ling asked Ling Yue and Junze Yu went to see Tang Guoduan and his wife several times, but Ling Yue came back and said that Tang Guoduan had no intention of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his family. He was even more polite to Ling Yue, not as close as before.
After reading Ling Weiguo's diary, Mrs. Ling finally understood the crux of the matter. He never expected that his seemingly virtuous and dignified wife would do such a thing back then, trapping him in injustice If he hadn't lived a long life, maybe he would have been kept in the dark until the day he closed his eyes, and would be hated by his own son for the rest of his life!
"Grandpa, what happened back then? Why did you stay with grandma and let uncle and grandma live outside?" Tang Shishi asked puzzled.
She is very aware of Uncle Tang's temper. If she doesn't understand the whole story, even if she brings him over by herself, it won't have any effect, and it may make their relationship worse.
"Back then, in order to repay my kindness, I married Wei Guo's mother. On the night of the wedding, I realized that she had someone else in her heart, and after that person made her pregnant, she left irresponsibly." Recalling the events of the year, Mrs. Ling looked back. Somewhat empty.
"After we got married, the two of us have been sleeping in separate rooms. I was busy with work, and sometimes I seldom went home. Wei Guo was born half a month later than the expected date of delivery. In terms of time, it is normal, so the outside world thinks he is My child. At that time, I just took care of their mother and child as my responsibility, and then I met you, Grandma Tang." When Ling Weiguo recalled Mrs. Tang, a rare gentle smile appeared on his face. Tang Shishi could see It turns out that Mrs. Ling loved Mrs. Tang deeply.
"Your Grandma Tang is a heroic girl with a bright personality. At that time, there were many people chasing her, but she chose me. However, I was provoked by others and misunderstood her. I thought that the child in her belly was someone else. Yes, it caused the two of us to separate in the end." Old Master Ling's eyes were full of sadness, and his voice was full of remorse and pain.
Tang Shishi nodded understandingly. For Grandpa Ling, the wife he married gave birth to other people's children, and the woman he loved also had other people's children. This kind of shame is unbearable for any man, although He just said this lightly, but Tang Shishi could feel the pain in his heart at that time.
"Your Granny Tang is a very stubborn woman. She just left without any regrets, and refused to give me an explanation. After I knew that I misunderstood her, it was too late to go to her. The sea of people is vast, and she wants to hide from me. It is not easy to find someone! However, I refused to give up until many years later, when the people sent out found her, they only found a pinch of loess and a piece of burial together. His tombstone." When Old Master Ling said this, his voice choked up, he wiped the corners of his cloudy eyes, looked at Tang Shishi with some embarrassment and said, "Girl, I made you laugh! When Grandpa thinks of the past, he feels a little I can't control my emotions."
Tang Shishi shook her head. The tombstone that was buried together must belong to Grandma Tang and Uncle Tang. No wonder Mrs. Ling was so sad.
After Mrs. Ling's mood calmed down a bit, Tang Shishi asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, grandpa was overly sad and decadent for a few years, but his career improved. Later, he had your mother-in-law." Old Master Ling said with a sigh.
Tang Shishi took Ling Weiguo's diary from Mrs. Ling, a thick volume, and under Mrs. Ling's gesture, she opened the marked page, and the lines of slightly immature words fell into view.
"After the college entrance examination today, I was in a good mood. When I got home, my mother was hugging my younger sister. She saw me smiling happily. At first I thought that my mother was as happy as I was because I finished the college entrance examination. Who knew that my mother called me to the room. Li, said excitedly, the woman and his child are finally dead, and there is no need to worry about them suddenly appearing to compete with my sister and me for the property! I was shocked for a moment and didn’t know how to react! Soon I realized , this matter must have something to do with my mother, I eagerly sought confirmation, and my mother did not hide it, saying that since the last time I warned her face to face, she has been sending people to secretly search for them and take the opportunity to get rid of them all these years, and now it is finally paid off Wish. I looked at my mother’s distorted smile, and felt that the person in front of me was so strange. Maybe my mother didn’t know it. I overheard her conversation with my father a year ago, and I realized that I was not my father. At that moment, I felt ashamed as never before. I used to be so arrogant and confident in front of my father's own flesh and blood, calling him a jerk, calling him a trash, but what am I? Ever since I found out that I am not After my father's own flesh and blood, I was condemned by my conscience all the time and felt guilty. The better my father treated me, the more uneasy I felt, but my mother actually did such an outrageous thing! I was distorted by hatred The mother who died, felt so guilty in her heart, once again found that her heart had become so ugly! I had an urge to expose my mother, and I felt sorry for my conscience, and even more sorry for the one who regarded me as my own. Man, but looking at my baby sister, I retreated cowardly. At night, I couldn't sleep all night, and finally made a decision. The property of the Ling family will belong to my sister in the future. I won't think about it. I I want to apply for the law major, and I will be an upright judge in the future, to help those who have been wronged, and to atone for the sins I committed!"
Tang Shishi looked at the yellowed paper with traces of tears dripping on it, which must have been left by her uncle Ling Weiguo back then, and she was in a complicated mood for a while.
Unexpectedly, what happened back then was like this, and Grandma Tang and Uncle Tang had encountered these things before. No wonder Uncle Tang hated and rejected Grandpa Ling so much. It turned out that it was not only because he misunderstood Grandma Tang, but more importantly, because Uncle Ling Weiguo's mother once humiliated them and hunted them down.
With a long sigh of relief, Tang Shishi closed the notebook, and suddenly felt that the notebook in her hand was extremely heavy. She recalled that on the day of Grandpa Ling's birthday banquet, Ling Weiguo pointed at Tang Guoduan before he died, and said several emotionally. "You", at the time she didn't understand why Ling Weihui was so excited, but now she finally understands.
"Grandpa, I will send this diary to Uncle Tang. I will tell him exactly what you want to convey. But, give Uncle Tang a little time. After all, I have lived in hatred for so many years. Knowing that this is a misunderstanding, I'm afraid he won't accept it so easily for a while." Tang Shishi tried her best to speak tactfully to Mrs. Ling, but in fact, she can now fully predict that Uncle Tang will be so happy after seeing this diary. Performance.
"Girl! Thank you, Grandpa!" Hearing Tang Shishi say this, old master Ling almost burst into tears.Unexpectedly, after living for so many years, such an older son would suddenly appear, which made him both overjoyed and guilty.
"This is what I should do." Tang Shishi smiled, actually feeling sorry for Mrs. Ling in his heart. In fact, his heart has been even more difficult these years.
"Girl, I heard that your brother's name is Tang Yuan, right? Tell Grandpa about him." Old Master Ling changed the subject and said expectantly.
"Him? According to what Mrs. Tang said, he's just a debt collector!" Hearing Mrs. Ling mention Tang Yuan, Tang Shishi started talking, detailing the embarrassing things about Tang Yuan's childhood one by one. Tell Mrs. Ling.
Old Master Ling listened with great interest, but Tang Shishi saw that every time she said that Tang Yuan was punished by Uncle Tang's family for doing something wrong, Old Master Ling frowned, obviously disapproving, Tang Shishi couldn't help feeling With a smile, I knew that Grandpa Ling was distressed.
The atmosphere in the living room was finally not so dull, there would be one or two cheerful laughter from time to time, and the voice of Mrs. Ling's emotion, such as: "This brat is really not a worry!"; Skinny like a monkey spirit!" said.
Unknowingly, a few hours had passed, and it was time for lunch. Mrs. Ling asked Tang Shishi to stay for dinner.
Tang Shishi nodded in agreement, and after knowing that the cook at home was on vacation, she slandered in her heart that she was not supposed to be kept for dinner, it was clearly premeditated to let her cook for lunch.
However, she didn't reject going to the kitchen, and she nodded her head in agreement under Old Master Ling's praying eyes.
Seeing that Tang Shishi agreed, Mrs. Ling let go of her heart slightly nervously, and then insisted that Tang Shishi also cook him a scientific and nutritious meal like the old man Wei Jun did. Mr. Jun is envious and jealous.
