Chapter 455 True Or False
This man was probably in his early thirties, with thick eyebrows and thick lips, and he looked quite honest and honest.
But at this moment, the eyes looking at Yu Shiba were filled with a little anger, as if he really regarded him as a scum who abandoned his wife and daughter.
Yu Shiba didn't bother to speculate on the love-hate relationship between him and the little girl's mother, but seeing that he came to the door and brought a hare with him, thinking that he usually took good care of the little girl, he didn't care about his attitude and just said lightly: " You misunderstood, I just ended up here accidentally!"
Although he looked weak when he was lying on the bed, he was tall, well-dressed and good-looking, and he looked quite majestic, so what he said was quite convincing.
The man was startled, and then he began to believe it: "What you said...is true?"
Yu Shiba nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The man couldn't help showing a bit of apology on his face, clasping his fists and saying in shame, "I misunderstood, I hope you can forgive me, sir."
Yu Shiba smiled and shook his head.
The man walked into the house and put the hare down. When he saw Yu Shiba's face was calm, he was afraid that he would have a grudge against Xiao Ku because of this. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke: "Speaking of which, Xiao Ku is also a miserable person. Thirteen years ago, her mother I took her to Qingshan Village..."
As the man talked, Yu Shiba began to listen quietly.
From the man's mouth, he learned that Xiaoku's mother was named Chen Xiaojun, and she fled to Qingshan Village with her daughter thirteen years ago.
As the saying goes, there were many disputes in front of the widow, and her life was extremely difficult at the beginning. But fortunately, Chen Xiaojun knew some medical skills and finally settled down here after saving many villagers.
The man in front of him was named Li Qiang, and he fell in love with him because his life was saved by Chen Xiaojun. His wife died of dystocia, and he wanted to find another one, so he asked a matchmaker to be the matchmaker, but Chen Xiaojun gave her up on the grounds that her husband was still alive. Refused.
Li Qiang felt extremely disappointed about this, but he still took good care of his mother and daughter on weekdays, hoping to touch Chen Xiaojun one day.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiaojun died of illness three years ago. Therefore, Li Qiang inevitably felt resentment towards the husband Chen Xiaojun missed, and felt that if it weren't for him, Chen Xiaojun would definitely accept him.
After Chen Xiaojun died, Li Qiang wanted to adopt Xiao Ku, but Xiao Ku didn't want to drag him down. Coupled with Li Qiang's mother's strong rejection, the matter had to be dropped.
But a new problem has come. As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people. As an orphan, Xiaoku has many people in the village who want to exterminate their families. Chen Xiaojun relied on the reputation he earned by saving people during his lifetime to restrain these villagers who were ready to take action. The greed in her heart, but after she died, someone began to target Xiao Ku, who was only 11 years old at the time.
There are those who want to be forced to be matchmakers who are actually buying and selling people, and there are also those who want to make rice and cooked rice, and there are even more who want to seize her ten acres of fertile land and house. Even with Li Qiang's care, Xiao Ku is still in various situations. Life was extremely difficult with rumors and attacks.
No, she is obviously a fifteen-year-old girl, but she looks as if she is eleven or twelve years old. This shows how much hardship she has endured in daily life.
Li Qiang said bitterly: "Actually, in the beginning, only Bully Zhang and his family at the head of the village were targeting Xiaoku. But after they gained some benefits, the hearts of other villagers also became unbalanced. Seeing that they could not stop Bully Zhang, they So I joined in and started to make things difficult for him."
"In the final analysis, it is because there is no man in the family. If there is a man, even if he is not an adult, the villagers will restrain themselves a lot. But Xiaoku is a girl and she will get married after all. Whoever can marry her will marry her immediately. Who wouldn’t be jealous if he could get ten acres of fertile land and a house?”
Yu Shiba listened quietly.
Li Qiang added: "I see that Mr. Sir has a good bearing. He is not an ordinary person. The reason why Ku'er tells outsiders that you are his father is because he has no choice but to do it. Zhang Bully has many brothers, and they usually go around the countryside with nothing to do. There are few people who are not afraid of him. In the past two years, I have seen that Ku'er has grown older, and he actually wanted to force her to be his concubine..."
As he spoke, his expression became increasingly angry.
Yu Shiba listened quietly, neither showing anger nor feeling pity for Xiaoku's life experience, but he just felt that the plot was a bit bloody.
He is already past his forties, and has long since developed the ability to remain aloof when it comes to his emotions and anger.
And he could feel that what Li Qiang said was not entirely true, and he was afraid that there was something hidden.
Li Qiang kept staring at Yu Shiba while he was talking. Seeing that the latter had no reaction at all, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
A smile appeared on his face: "Although sir is not Xiaoku's biological father, Xiaoku can call people to save you when he sees you in the river, and calls you her father in public. I think I am very close to you." It's fate, if my husband can take pity on Ku'er and be willing to take her away from this poor place, that would be great, but if he can't..."
Li Qiang looked at him carefully: "I have taken care of their mother and daughter for more than ten years, and I have great affection for Xiao Ku. It's just that Xiao Ku didn't want to drag me down, so she refused to be my adopted daughter. Sir, can you help me persuade her?" Her? After all, she has been through so much hardship these past few years."
At the end of the sentence, a look of compassion appeared on his face.
"Are you done?" Yu Shiba raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly: "I want to rest!"
Li Qiang felt that all his thoughts were invisible under this gaze.
His expression became uncertain.
At this moment, light footsteps came from the yard, and then Xiao Ku's timid voice came: "Uncle Li... you, why are you here?"
Li Qiang's face instantly became honest, revealing a big White Fang. He turned around and said to Ku'er with a smile: "I'm talking to your 'father'. Where did Xiao Ku come back from?"
Xiao Ku's voice was still timid: "I went to find some wild fruits..."
Li Qiang said in a soft voice: "Wild fruits are sour and bitter. Eating them can easily spoil your stomach. My uncle has brought you a rabbit. You can cook it later and give it to your 'father' to replenish it."
Xiaoku walked into the house and glanced at Yu Shiba on the bed. After finding that the latter was fine, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and still said respectfully: "No, Uncle Li, there is still food at home. You'd better take it back to Brother Tiedan." Eat it!”
"Now that you've brought it, there's no reason to take it back. Your mother and I have saved lives, so a mere hare is nothing. Okay, I'll go back first. You should take good care of your father!"
After that, he took another deep look at Yu Shiba, turned around and left.
When Ku'er saw him leaving, his stiff body completely relaxed.
"Uncle, are you...are you okay?!"
Turning to look at Yu Shiba, his eyes became evasive, as if he had done something wrong.
Yu Shiba smiled gently at her and closed his eyes.
After the room was quiet for a minute or two, Yu Shiba heard Ku'er taking a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind.
The next moment, the girl's pleading voice sounded in his ears: "Uncle, can you be my father?"
She seemed to feel that her request was a bit abrupt, and she emphasized anxiously: "It's only for a period of time. You can leave at any time after you have recovered."
Yu Shiba opened his eyes, and his deep gaze fell on Xiaoku's thin face.
The girl lowered her head, a look of shame on her face.
Yu Shiba said: "Okay!"
He previously denied to Li Qiang that he was Xiaoku's father, mainly because he simply didn't want to be taken advantage of, but now that the other party was pleading, he didn't mind having a cheap daughter for a while.
Hearing this, Xiao Ku showed an expression of relief and smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, father!"
Yu Shiba hummed slightly and closed his eyes again.
