Chapter 351
Pei JianGuo was still a little dazed. His consciousness was still stuck in the slap from Lu Keqin, and he had no memory of calling someone else when he was drunk. But occasionally when he thought of those feelings that could only be hidden in his heart, he knew Lu Keqin was not lying.
He pursed his lips and staggered out.
Lu Keqin was still chattering and crying noisily, but he didn't want to take care of it anymore.
As for whether the Lu brothers would come to find him tomorrow, he didn't want to think about it either.
He was drunk, did he still need to take care of things when he was sober?
Let it be whatever it wants. It's just one life, at worst he could give it to them.
He felt so miserable, but no one could understand him.
They were all pressing him...
Seeing his son like this, Pei Yong seemed to see himself back then through him.
His lover went far away, and he was forced to marry someone he didn't love.
Only the love in that era was much more magnificent, and there was more helplessness.
Even after so many years, he still remembered that on the day he decided to get married, he had already given up on his heart's desire and shouldered the responsibilities he should shoulder.
But his wife's relentless pressure led to her being forced away and killed in the war, which became an eternal knot in his heart.
After so many years, when he thought about it again, it was still shocking.
"Big brother..."
Pei Sheng glanced at Pei Yong, but didn't know how to advise him.
The contradictions in the main room had existed for many years, it was messy long ago, he just didn't expect the child to grow up and still continue the tragedy of his parents. Pei Yong waved his hand at them and said, "The child is ignorant, let you uncles and aunts see the joke, you should go back first."
At this moment, anything more said was redundant.
After leaving, Pei Sheng looked at Pei Jing and said, "Third brother, JianGuo drank a lot, go see if you can catch up to send him back, it's New Year's Eve, don't make trouble because of the alcohol."
He was not young either, and was injured on the battlefield back then, so he hadn't been able to exert himself these years, and certainly couldn't compare to Pei Jing in physical strength.
JianGuo was also a drunk, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold him down if he caught up.
"Alright, you guys go back first, I'll take the car to catch up to him when I get home," Pei Jing said.
Lu Keqin was still crying noisily.
Pei Yong took PingAn back to the living room.
The living room was a mess. Just now they were still chatting with Jiang Su and said they would clean up the table and leave after drinking.
But after something like this happened, it would be even more inappropriate to stay.
PingAn pursed her lips, obviously unhappy. After a long while, she finally looked up at her grandfather and bravely refuted, "Grandpa, my mom is not a cheap woman."
Although the child was young, she understood everything.
For more than half a year, it seemed that she could hardly remember what her mother looked like. There were no photos left by her at home either, but in those fuzzy memories, there were still impressions of her mother singing to her and taking care of her.
Back then she couldn't walk or talk yet, she was like a bundle, hanging on her mother's arms and back every day, crushing her shoulders.
Occasionally she could see grandma and auntie, and they always told her that her mother didn't want her anymore, abandoned her to live a good life.
But she knew she couldn't hate her mother.
Because in those days when everyone despised her, only her mother firmly took care of her and protected her.
Pei Yong was startled, squatted down and took PingAn into his arms, "PingAn, don't pay attention to what others say and how they look at you, because they can only judge someone based on their own eyes and ears. We need to feel with our hearts. Your mother gave you life, and took care of you during those most difficult years. She loved you very much. It's just that there are always many helplessness in life. Those helplessness are like stones that can bend a person's spine. When there are enough stones pressing down on the shoulders, it's inevitable to want to escape, to find a comfortable environment to ease it. Your mother has had a very hard time these past few years. She is a good mother. She just went abroad to study, so she temporarily left you for grandpa to take care of. When she graduates and comes back, she will definitely come looking for you. You can't hate her or dislike her. We have to understand her, you know?"
"Mhm." PingAn happily nodded. She also believed her mother would definitely come back for her.
PingAn's little hand touched Pei Yong's hair. Pulling up the corner of her mouth, she said, "Grandpa is also a good grandpa. PingAn likes grandpa the most."
Pei Yong smiled very bitterly.
To PingAn, he was a good grandfather.
But to Pei JianGuo, he was a very failed father.
The child's misfortune, he was also greatly responsible. Pei Jing searched around the road to his house, and looked around a large area nearby, but didn't find anyone.
And things just coincidentally happened this way.
Pei JianGuo didn't want to go home. Snowflakes began to drift in the cold and dark road. He randomly picked a direction and walked forward along the roadside.
He also didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to desperately escape, to escape from that place that imprisoned him.
He felt like a homeless wanderer, nowhere was his home.
Until the alcohol kicked in and he completely ran out of strength, he also collapsed by the roadside.
The cold air prompted him to wrap his coat around him. Curling his head in his coat, he found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
He liked this place. Although it was a bit cold, there was no one chattering endlessly by his ear, and no one forced him to do things he didn't like.
He regretted it.
He wished Guo Momo would come back.
He shouldn't have bullied her, he shouldn't have listened to his mother and thought that her maiden family was unreliable anyway, as long as he gave money, they could sell her off in minutes, so she could only rely on him, she couldn't leave him.
As long as he suppressed her temper well, she could only listen to him for the rest of her life.
But she left, she would never come back!
The day she left, she told him he really disgusted her. If time could be reversed, she would rather choose to go to the countryside than to meet him again. If he still had a little conscience, then be a little nicer to the child.
But he had no conscience, he was born conscienceless.
So Guo Momo left him, and his son also hated him, never calling him dad, and unwilling to get close to him.
He really was such a failure. People like him probably could only hurt others by being alive!
Gao Second Sister and Gao Dalin passed by here. Gao Dalin was humming a tune, imagining the beautiful future, and said Gao Second Sister was messing around pointlessly.
She had to go to college back then, and said she would have prospects only if she went to school, but in the end she changed her name, pulled some connections, and even spent a lot of money to have someone take the exam for her. After making a fuss to the end she still didn't get in, and was criticized badly instead.
People like them now, brother and sister working together, making money and getting rich together, weren't they stronger than those who went to college!
Gao Second Sister listened to his nagging and contemptuously rolled her eyes.
He didn't understand shit. Without her leading, Gao Dalin would still be farming the land in the village, being bullied by others.
Business sought money, going to college sought power!
