Chapter 93 But I always make you cry
"Ling'er, be obedient. It's not that your parents don't miss you, they are busy with work and don't have time to take care of you. Now, your mother called you immediately as soon as she got off the plane!" Liu Cuilian advised earnestly.
Ling'er pouted and didn't say anything.
Old Man Zhang Changsuo also took action. He smiled and said, "Oh, who is Ling'er angry with? His mouth is so high that he can tie a donkey."
"Grandpa, you only have a donkey tied to your mouth, but it's still a big donkey!" Ling'er said angrily.
"Okay, okay, grandpa tied a youngest big donkey to his mouth, okay?" Zhang Changsuo smiled kindly and said, "Ling'er, stop being petty, be obedient, go back. Your mother brought you a lot of delicious food from Beijing."
"Grandpa, I've had a meal. It was the McDonald's that Brother Changfeng invited me to. If you don't believe me, please ask Brother Changfeng!" Ling'er said with a twisted body.
"Changfeng, did you have a meal with Ling'er?" asked the old man Zhang Changsuo.
Zhao Changfeng was thinking about what Ling'er's mother was. She actually went to Beijing for a meeting and took a plane back and forth. Hearing the question from Mr. Zhang Changsuo, he quickly replied: "Grandpa, yes. Ling'er and I ate McDonald's together."
Old man Zhang Changsuo smiled and said to Ling'er, "Ling'er, it's not OK after dinner, you have to go back to see your mother!"
Ling'er stamped her feet and said, "Grandpa, I finally invited Brother Changfeng to give me some lessons. Why did you force me to go home? Even if I go back, I have to wait for Brother Changfeng to finish the lessons for me before going back."
Old Man Zhang Changsuo had no choice but to say, "Then you have to call your mother first and tell her that you have eaten. She won't worry about you at home."
"Okay, I'll call now!"
When Ling'er heard that Zhang Changsuo didn't force her to go back immediately, she immediately smiled and happily called her mother.
Zhao Changfeng never thought about the relationship between Ling'er and Zhang Changsuo. He always thought that Ling'er was the granddaughter of Liu Cuilian's son. After Liu Cuilian and Zhang Changsuo were together, Ling'er came to live with Liu Cuilian. But now he felt that the situation was a little wrong.
First of all, Liu Cuilian and Zhang Changsuo spoke differently to Ling'er. Although the tone was intimate, there was always a kind of politeness that was not her own granddaughter.
Secondly, Zhao Changfeng remembered that although Zhang Changsuo was old, Liu Cuilian was only in her early fifties. Even if Liu Cuilian got married early and gave birth to a son at the age of 18, her son was only in her early thirties. According to this age, even if Liu Cuilian's son married early, his grandchildren were at most twelve or thirteen years old, but Ling'er was seventeen years old this year. So no matter what, Ling'er could not be Liu Cuilian's granddaughter.
So is Ling'er possible that she is the granddaughter of Zhang Changsuo? Even more impossible. Zhang Changsuo was treated unfairly during the Cultural Revolution and has always lived alone. Where did she get her granddaughter?
Furthermore, from the conversation between Ling'er and Zhang Changsuo just now, we can hear that Ling'er's mother is a big cadre. She can go to Beijing for meetings and travel on planes. In addition, she is often too busy to stay at home. This is definitely not the image of an ordinary female cadre. With the life background of Zhang Changsuo and Liu Cuilian, how could a cadre of this level appear among their daughter-in-law?
So whose daughter is Ling'er?
After analyzing this point, the truth of the matter is about to emerge. Ling'er is likely to be the daughter of Vice Governor Zhao Qiang! Since Zhao Qiang is the vice Governor, then his wife is noble, and Zhao Qiang's wife must be a senior cadre of a considerable level. It is precisely because of the high level that he is very busy, and Vice Governor Zhao Qiang and the wife of the vice Governor are often not at home. With the relationship between Zhang Changsuo and Zhao Qiang, it is not surprising that Zhao Qiang and his wife are not at home when they are not at home. Ling'er is used to the care of Zhang Changsuo and his wife, and even when Zhao Qiang and his wife are at home, they are willing to stay at Zhang Changsuo's house and are unwilling to go back.
However, even if the analysis is accurate, it is not as good as asking for personal verification. Zhao Changfeng quietly asked the old man Zhang Changsuo and said, "Grandpa, what does Ling'er's father do?"
Who knew that the old man Zhang Changsuo was on the back of his ears, and Zhao Changfeng whispered and couldn't hear clearly: "Changfeng, please speak louder. What did you ask just now?"
Zhao Changfeng put his mouth close to the old man Zhang Changsuo's ear, raised his voice a little further and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask you, what does Ling'er's father do?"
"Haha!" Old Man Zhang Changsuo smiled with his teethless mouth. He said loudly: "Changfeng, I thought you knew it a long time ago! You haven't known it for so long? Ling'er's father is Wu Yizi! Haven't I ever met Wu Yizi with you? He is still the vice governor now!"
The person with his ears spoke very loudly, for fear that others would not be able to hear clearly. However, Zhao Changfeng no longer had the heart to pay attention to the high and low voice of the old man Zhang Changsuo. He was completely shocked by the old man Zhang Changsuo's words. Although he had made full psychological expectations in his heart, when Zhang Changsuo personally proved his speculation, Zhao Changfeng was inevitably shocked by the news!
It turns out that Ling'er's father is really Zhao Qiang! Why am I so stupid? I didn't expect it before? If I had thought about it carefully at Ling'er, I would have discovered this fact long ago.
Now Zhao Changfeng has fully understood why Director Li suddenly changed his attitude towards him. It must be when Ling'er bumped into Director Li's arms. Director Li recognized Ling'er as the daughter of Vice Governor Zhao Qiang. Then he saw Ling'er holding his hand affectionately and calling Zhao Changfeng as his brother. Director Li thought he must be a relative of Zhao Qiang's nephew, so he immediately changed his attitude and took care of him. Then Director Zhou talked to him and transferred him to the audit department; Director Wang re-examined the cadre rating review in the Personnel Education Department, and promoted him to the level of deputy chief clerk.
There is another example of speculation about this. When Ling'er bumped into Director Li again today, seeing Director Li's kind and amiable attitude towards Ling'er, it can be proved that Director Li definitely understands the relationship between Ling'er and Governor Zhao, but he is very smart and does not point it out.
"elder brother!"
Ling'er called to wake Zhao Changfeng up from his thoughts. Zhao Changfeng turned his head and saw Ling'er's eyes red and tears rolling in his eyes. Zhao Changfeng hurriedly said, "Ling'er, what's wrong? Are you not going back to eat, and your mother is quarreling at you?"
"no!"
Ling'er finally couldn't help but shed tears when she heard Zhao Changfeng's cares about her words. She threw herself into Zhao Changfeng's arms and started crying.
"Ling'er, what's going on? Tell me brother!" Zhao Changfeng said with heartache.
Old Man Zhang Changsuo and Liu Cuilian were also hurried over when they saw it.
"Ling'er, be good, tell grandpa, is your mother scolding you? Grandpa is going to find your mother now and let her breath out for you!" Old man Zhang Changsuo always treated Ling'er like his granddaughter. Seeing that Ling'er was wronged, he naturally felt distressed. He refused to give in and called Ling'er's mother to settle the score.
Ling'er raised her head from Zhao Changfeng's arms, wiped her tears, and said to the old man Zhang Changsuo: "Grandpa, no! Mom didn't scold me. She was very happy when she heard that I was tutoring at my grandfather's house. I cried because I felt wronged..."
Old Man Zhang Changsuo wondered, since Ling'er's mother did not train Ling'er, why did Ling'er still feel wronged?
"Ling'er, why are you wronged? Who bullies you? Tell grandpa, grandpa, go and vent your anger for you." Old man Zhang Changsuo said lovingly.
Ling'er sobbed for a while, feeling a little better in her heart. She wiped her tears and said to the old man Zhang Changsuo: "Grandpa, no one bullies me, I just feel wronged! Don't worry, let me talk to Brother Changfeng for a while?"
"Okay, you can talk to your brother Changfeng." Zhang Changsuo quickly agreed. Ling'er is a child and it is easier for Changfeng to communicate with her. So let Changfeng talk to her first and figure out why Ling'er is wronged. It is the same if you look back and ask Changfeng for help.
Ling'er pulled Zhao Changfeng into her own hut and closed the door.
"Ling'er, why do you feel wronged? You can tell your brother now, right?" Zhao Changfeng said.
Ling'er sat on the bed with her head down, looking at her toes, her eyes were red again. After a long time, Ling'er raised her head and said, "Brother, I heard the conversation between you and grandpa just now."
Zhao Changfeng said strangely: "Ling'er, you have heard what conversation I have with my grandfather."
Ling'er said, "You ask grandpa, what is my father doing..."
"Oh, so that's it?" Zhao Changfeng said: "Ling'er, are you unhappy because your brother asked your father what he did?"
Ling'er bit her lip and shook her head gently, "No..."
