Chapter 224 Zheng Minglong Questioned

Chapter 224 Zheng Minglong's inquiry

When Li Xiaoqin returned home from work at the bus company, he saw Zheng Wentao lying on the sofa with a tired face and sighed deeply. He went into the house and covered his stomach with a small blanket, then went to the small kitchen to cook.

Zheng Minglong came back from outside without disturbing Zheng Wentao's rest. He turned to the kitchen to find Li Xiaoqin and helped her wash the dishes. He said worriedly, "Mom, I just went out to look for my sister. I didn't find her. I don't think she'll come back tonight."

"If you don't come back, don't come back. Don't give her another cent in the future." Speaking of this daughter, Li Xiaoqin was very angry. He also used a lot of force to cut vegetables, so that the chopping board banged.

This daughter was 18 years old, and she did not continue to study after graduating from junior high school. She had been studying dance at dance school all the time. She had been asked to apply for the art corps before. The family couldn't beat her. Since she wanted to, let her do what she wanted.

As a dance teacher, she had more than 150 yuan a month, which was enough for her to support herself. But after less than two months, she quit her job, and was found by her parents because she hit her students with a temper tantrum, causing the leaders of the training class to tactfully ask her to bring Zheng Mingfeng home. She had wanted to ask for another chance, but Zheng Mingfeng resigned first and went home. She was so angry that she wanted to slap her.

Then she applied for a few more jobs related to dancing, but they didn't last long. She always left after a month or two. It was probably not a long job to be a dancer with a friend a few days ago. Her father failed to do business outside, and the family property factory sold so much. She didn't say anything to help, nor did she say anything to comfort him. All she could do was complain and lose her temper. If she could earn enough money to live and eat, it would be up to her. However, she did not earn enough money and always came back to ask for it.

Zheng Wentao was unaware of all this. He had been too busy with his own business a while ago. How could he be in charge of Zheng Mingfeng? When he came back today, he could not hide his family affairs from him.

"Your father is back today. I think he's done with work outside. If he doesn't see your sister back later, he'll probably be mad at me."

Li Xiaoqin was in a bad mood. Although Zheng Wentao was nice to her, she was not easy to get along with in some ways. She often put the grievances she suffered outside on her, as if she was a punching bag. She was also very upset, but what could she do? This path was her own choice, bitter or sweet, and she had to go to the end.

Sure enough, at dinner tonight, Zheng Wentao asked about Zheng Mingfeng. Li Xiaoqin did not hide anything, and this time, he took the initiative to tell all about his daughter's bastard.

Zheng Wentao was so angry that he almost overturned the table. Just as he was about to get angry at Li Xiaoqin, he saw that both of them had a serious face and knew that they had too much to do outside during this period of time to avoid distracting him, so they deliberately didn't say anything. He had to swallow his anger back into his stomach, eat a few mouthfuls casually, and smoke next to him.

The mother and son were also in a bad mood, so they only ate a little. Zheng Minglong took the initiative to remove the leftovers and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Li Xiaoqin washed a few pears, handed one to Zheng Wentao, and asked, "Have you filled in the hole in the bank?"

"Yes." Zheng Wentao answered in a deep voice and took a bite of the pear.

"Just fill it in. If you lose it, you lose it. You can earn it back later. Many families have lost their money, and we still have a leather factory. It's good enough." Li Xiaoqin was comforting him and himself.

These days, Zheng family brothers and sisters all looked ugly. All their struggling capital was lost in Qiongzhou island. They were also glad that they didn't sink too deep. They worked hard to pay off their debts and kept their jobs and houses. They were all glad that they were lucky in the misfortune.

Zheng Wentao closed his eyes and said in a somewhat melancholy tone, "If it weren't for her, we would have lost everything and probably be in deep debt."

"Her? Who is it?" Li Xiaoqin frowned.

"Li Haitang!"

Li Xiaoqin's pupils shrank, "Why is it still related to her?" Before he could answer, he asked, "She went to Qiongzhou island too?"

Zheng Minglong, who came back from washing the dishes, stood outside the door and heard their conversation. The name "Li Haitang" was so familiar. Where did he hear it? He listened with his ears pointed.

"Actually, when I went to Qiongzhou island in july of september, I saw her. We were on the same ship. She's with her friends in the capital and her foster father, Li Jianguo." Zheng Wentao finished and took another bite of the pear.

"Jianguo also went to Qiongzhou island? In that case, they also bought property in Qiongzhou island, so this time it's a loss, isn't it?" Li Xiaoqin felt a little guilty about Li Jianguo, and she really didn't want him to get stuck here.

When Zheng Minglong heard the name "Li Jianguo," she remembered that she was a relative of her mother's hometown at the temple fair that year. Naturally, she remembered that Li Haitang was the girl who looked like her mother.

"They didn't lose, they made a lot of money instead. I met Li Jianguo in Qiongzhou island in march, when he was alone at the real estate trading center. I paid for some connections and found out that he sold all ten houses in half a month."

Zheng Wentao paused and continued, "I'm pretty sure Li Haitang gave him the news of his withdrawal, and the person behind these houses is Li Haitang. Li Jianguo doesn't have the ability. I guessed that Li Haitang must have gotten the news from her friends who were not from simple backgrounds, so I mentioned it to old wu and his friends. But old wu and his friends didn't want to leave, so they sent someone to check the news. I always felt uneasy. The house price in Qiongzhou island had gone up too abnormally. I thought I should be safe and earn so much, so I sold all the eight private suites I bought as fast as I could. Fortunately, it was sold in time and at the highest price, otherwise our tannery would not be able to keep it."

Li Xiaoqin did not expect such a thing to happen. She pursed her lips and asked, "So, Li Haitang and the others really got the news ahead of time?"

"No." Zheng Wentao shook his head and said wearily, "There was really no news from march. Old wu lost his whole family to only one small house this time, and he was not reconciled. Half a month ago, he asked the Yan family to inquire about it. After all, the third young master of the Yan family had taken eight plots of land in Qiongzhou island. The result was that his tv factory, refrigerator factory, clothing factory, song and dance hall, restaurants and hotels had all paid off their debts. I also heard that this incident alarmed the top. Even his old man and his family were investigated, but nothing happened. This was the failure of yan sanshao's personal business investment."

The more Li Xiaoqin listened, the more frightened he became, and his lips trembled slightly. "So, Li Haitang and the others suddenly retreated. They had their own eyes. Did they already guess what would happen in the end?"

"It's possible." Zheng Wentao felt there was only one possibility.

The room was silent for a long time, and the couple's faces were bitter.

Zheng Minglong was still standing outside the door, thinking about what his father had just said, and sighing in his heart that the girl was indeed a top student in the Beijing university. Just as he was about to enter the room, he suddenly heard something that shocked him for a long time.

"Wen tao, our eldest daughter is so outstanding, but she was abandoned by us, and our youngest daughter is so troublesome, but we hold her in our hands as a treasure and love her dearly. Do you think god is deliberately punishing us?" Li Xiaoqin's voice choked up at the end.

Zheng Wentao pursed his lips tightly, and the veins on his hands bulged.

Eldest daughter? Throw it away?

Zheng Minglong outside seemed to have been struck by lightning! Mom just said "Ours." That girl is mom and dad's child? His sister too?

He just said, there is no such a person in the world. It turns out that she is the daughter of her parents.

But, why did they abandon her?

A series of questions appeared in his mind. He couldn't wait to know the answer. He rushed over and said excitedly, "Mom, what did you mean by that? Was that girl you met with dad's daughter?"

Zheng Wentao and Li Xiaoqin didn't expect him to hear all the conversation just now. The couple looked away and didn't know whether to answer him or not.

"Dad, mom, tell me, what the hell is going on? I've grown up. Don't hide it from me." Zheng Minglong didn't know why. He just wanted to know what happened.

The couple didn't want him to know about it, but they couldn't hide it anymore. Even if they didn't tell him, he would probably find a way to find out. It would be better if they told him the truth themselves.

The Zheng family family of three was talking about Li Haitang, and Li Haitang was taking Li Tao and Duan Jinqiao on a trip. The two of them had good luck in the college entrance examination this year. The number of applicants had dropped, but the admission rate had increased. So, the two of them who had worked so hard for a year all crossed the line and got into the undergraduate course.

Although it was an ordinary undergraduate course, they were also satisfied. Duan Jinqiao was accepted by the provincial medical university as expected. After Li Tao finally discussed with his family, he chose a major related to construction engineering, which was also applied to the provincial school.

There were two college students in the family at once. Li Jianguo went back to his hometown to celebrate for two days. He still did not take any money and invited his relatives, friends and neighbors to join in the fun.

Li Haitang also went back this time, serving as a green leaf for his two younger brothers and sisters. When the family banquet was over, she took them on a trip to Hushi and jiangzhe, along with Mr. Tang and Wang Tiao.

Mr. Tang didn't want to come and felt that he shouldn't spend the students'money, but he couldn't resist Li Haitang's gracious invitation and had to travel with them.

Wang Tiao took the college entrance examination last year, but he didn't do well and only got into junior college. Wang Li suggested that he go back to school for a year. Wang Tiao listened to her and went back to the County one middle school. She happened to be in the same class as Li Tao, and this year, she also caught up with her luck and entered her undergraduate course on the scoreline, majoring in mechanical manufacturing.
