Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng

After a moment, the Broken Marquis put his foot on the stool again, tilted his head and asked, "Did she say who the man's father was?"

Han Chunming shook his head.

“No.

Besides, why am I asking this? I’m not here to check your household registration.”

"What kind of household registration check is that? Don't interrupt me." The Broken Marquis complained, tapping the table with his finger and saying word by word, "This man's father is Liu Sihai, and his grandfather is Liu Gonggong!"

Han Chunming stopped using his chopsticks and asked in disbelief:

"A eunuch in the palace? Adopted?"

This is indeed a historical problem. It was common for eunuchs to adopt children at that time.

Hou Paolan picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Han Chunming quickly poured the wine and looked like he was listening.

"Yes, I don't need to tell you the rest!"

Han Chunming nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Then Liu Sihai is the eunuch's adopted child, but, this won't be a problem, right?"

After hearing Han Chunming's words, Polan Hou stopped drinking and threw down his chopsticks.

"How can it not be a problem? Liu Sihai and I are enemies!"

Now Han Chunming understood. It was a family feud. It was understandable that the Marquis of Pao Lan didn't like the son of his enemy.

"Why did you two become enemies?"

Han Chunming is now a real spectator, and a spectator in the front row.

As if recalling something, Paola Hou said after a while: "I worked for the puppet government before, and it was Liu Sihai who sold me out.

As for me, I just do errands for others to make a living.

But he insisted that I was a traitor.

In the end, I set fire to all three rooms in their house and was sentenced to three years in prison. Naturally, the hatred was formed.”

Han Chunming was filled with admiration and amazement at this experience and behavior.

"If your experience is written into a novel, it will definitely be a best-seller. I've even thought of a title, 'The Houses We Decorated Together in Those Years', hahahaha."

"What the hell!" The Broken Marquis showed a helpless expression and couldn't help but said, "Why do you always say nonsense and write books? I think you are more like stealing books.

By the way, remember to return the book to me after reading it."

Seeing that Hou Polan was coming to collect the debt, Han Chunming immediately changed the subject.

"Then?"

Polan Hou said with some emotion: "I only have one daughter, Hou Su'e. My wife left after giving birth to her. It can be said that I took care of her and raised her up.

Just you, tell me, can you imagine it?

When she grew up, she insisted on marrying the son of my enemy. How could I agree to that?

But in the end, she went directly to the neighborhood office and reported me, saying that I was hindering free love and that I was a remnant of feudal ideas, and that she wanted to punish me by sending me to labor reform.

Tell me, what should I do with this girl?

Over the years, she has never come back to see me once. Now that she is in trouble, she remembers that she has an old father. Tell me, who can get by like that? "

After taking a sip of the liquor, Hou Polan's eyes became moist.

His own daughter, the daughter he raised since childhood, ran away with the son of his enemy and has not come back for so many years. Whenever he thought of this, he felt very upset.

To be honest, Han Chunming also frowned when he heard this, thinking that Hou Su'e was very wrong.

Not to mention other things, just the fact that the two of you have been not far from each other for so many years, so if you visit your old father during the holidays and repair the relationship, maybe this crack would have healed long ago.

But she didn't. She refused to look back, just wanting to tell her father that her choice was right.

But, is she right?

In Han Chunming's opinion, it was wrong, very wrong.

"Hearing what you said, it seems that you have indeed been wronged. Sister Hou did not do what was right." Han Chunming said truthfully.

"I know there are some things you don't like to hear, but this is not a feudal dynasty. We don't practice arranged marriages. We all have free love. And the more you disagree, the more I, Sister Hou, will probably want to go against you.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, just have a drink.”

The two clinked glasses and drank another one.

After saying a lot, Hou Polan seemed to be even more worried. As time was getting later, Han Chunming prepared to go home.

"Do you still want that thing?"

Han Chunming paused when he heard this and turned around, "Post box?"

"Hehe, it seems that you are really thinking about my things." Marquis Paola said with a smile.

"Please don't make fun of me. I definitely like the things, but I'm a very principled person. I used the money to pay for the medical treatment of Sister Hou's husband because she is your daughter and I want to help her. On the other hand, I am kind and generous, and I like to meddle in other people's affairs. When it comes to major issues, I am never vague.

But I can say from the bottom of my heart that my starting point is definitely not the box in your hand.

I’m not that dirty.”

These words were so powerful that Hou Polan narrowed his eyes.

"Don't disbelieve me, this is what I really think. To be honest, I also feel that you still have my daughter, Sister Hou, in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to the hospital yesterday."

"Get lost, and don't say the rest, it's annoying!"

The Tattered Marquis frowned and scolded unhappily.

"Well, let me say one last thing:

I know what Sister Hou did was wrong, but she is your daughter after all, and you only have this one daughter. It’s been so long since the Liu Sihai incident, it’s time to move on, right?

To be honest, how old are you now? Do you really plan to spend your whole life guarding a room full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings?

If you can't bring yourself to do this, I can help you arrange a meeting so we can talk it out."

Hou Paolan didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just took out the passbook from the drawer behind him and threw it on the table.

"Here is four hundred yuan for Hou Su'e's medical expenses."

Han Chunming didn't answer, shaking his head and said, "However much money I spent is a small matter, but it would be better for you to give this money to Sister Hou.

My master once said: Money can’t buy family affection, nor can it buy right and wrong.

I won't say anything more. Please think about it. I'm leaving now and will come back to ask for your help later."

Han Chunming picked up his coat, opened the door and left.

Hou Polan looked at the closed door, then at the passbook, tears unconsciously sliding down his cheeks.

…………

Two days later, Han Chunming happened to meet Hou Su'e. He smiled and asked, "How is your brother?"

Hou Su'e's face was much more relaxed. After hearing this, she quickly said, "It's much better. The fever has subsided. Once the inflammation is healed, I will perform surgery to treat the leg."

"That will cost quite a bit, right?"

Hearing Han Chunming say this, Hou Su'e shook her head.

"No, I'm not telling you this to ask for money, I just want to thank you." She turned around and looked around, and when she saw no one was paying attention, she whispered:

"My dad sent me a thousand dollars yesterday."

When Han Chunming heard this, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his persuasion had worked.

"Really?"

"Well, my goodness, I didn't know my dad was so rich, and I never thought he would give me money." Hou Su'e sighed.
