20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3180 Tang Li's Choice

Zhao Changan then understood the real purpose of Tao Jiao calling him over to talk, but he knew clearly in his heart that with Zhang Qinying's current mentality, she had actually completely let go of the previous grievances.

All the dissatisfaction and complaints have just gone with the wind. I will no longer be entangled with them, and I am unwilling to have any entanglement with Tao Longrong.

With the support of Zhao Changan's strong sense of being a gentleman and not a tool, and having stepped out of the small circle of Guangzhou, Zhang Qinying had already let go of both Tao Longrong and Tang Li in her heart.

"My mom told me that she never hated my dad, even after the incident with Zhang Qinying came to light. If we were to be honest, she was the mistress. Although my dad was wrong in that he had slept with Zhang Qinying without telling my mom when he was pursuing her, and that Zhang Qinying was pregnant, in fact, even if my dad had confessed to my mom at the time, she would definitely have hesitated. But as long as my dad pursued her harder, she would still agree."

Zhao Changan looked at Tao Jiao in surprise. This was the first time he heard it.

At the same time, it also felt like his three views were somewhat overturned.

But think about it carefully, more than 20 years ago, in a mountain commune under Gwangju, 17 or 18-year-old Tang Li and three other girls lived in a thatched hut that was leaky and windy. This thatched hut was the property of the brigade.

The daily work is to make pig food, ferment it and feed it with rice bran, go to the fields to plant rice, and herd cattle.

In the mountains in summer, there are snakes, insects, rats, ants, mosquitoes, flies, and centipedes. Snakes often fall from thatched houses to chase rats, and eating pig food makes the whole body itchy.

Without a clear vision of the future, there are actually not many options available to give her the better life she wants.

At that time, Tao Longrong's parents were both well-known figures in that area, and he became the captain of the township construction team at a young age. The team was responsible for the construction of roads, bridges, houses, and public buildings in the entire township, including several nearby small towns.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have been the cause of disasters. Tang Li is so beautiful, and her seduction by Wu Shengnongyu makes men itchy and unable to sleep at night. The sooner she succumbs to Tao Longrong, there will be a qualitative change in safety, living, food and working conditions.

In fact, as soon as Tang Li and a group of like-minded people arrived in Gwangju, her beauty shocked too many people. The people in the mountains had never seen such a stunningly beautiful, charming, clean and exquisite girl, who spoke as sweetly as a lark.

Tao Longrong was also present at the time, and her soul was almost bewitched away. From the first day, Tang Li had been under Tao Longrong's protection at all costs, so she was not harassed by those perverts, and the team only assigned her easy tasks.

This made Tang Ligan cry and complain bitterly, so much so that she later realized that it was really not going to work. Tao Longrong had basically done all the work assigned to her by the team.

It can be said that if there had been no protection from Tao Longrong, such a charming, soft and graceful woman could have driven crazy those men in the mountains who had been eating bran all their lives and had only seen stupid women. Sometimes, if they drank a little cat urine and drank some wine to give themselves courage, maybe it would be fine for a day or two, but for years and years, Tang Li had been so graceful, swaying like a lotus on the water in the mountains, attracting bees and butterflies with her fragrance. She would go into the mountains alone to herd cattle and pick pigs day and night, in thunder, rain and snow. Sooner or later, she would be done by some man in the mountains.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. It's a woman's nature to submit to powerful and great men. In fact, you men will also show a sense of belonging to those overly powerful men, just like those fierce generals in ancient times, who always had a group of younger brothers who followed them to the death. It's just that my father's strength is only limited to a small place. Once he walks out, it's not worth anything. My parents' living habits are very different. I could tolerate it before, but now she has the opportunity and my father is down and out. Not to mention finding another person to love, at least they have common hobbies and interests, and they can also agree on the quality of life and habits, and they can also provide her with high-quality living conditions." Tao Jiao pursed her thin lips, turned her head to look at Zhao Changan and said, "Very unexpected, very cold, isn't it?"

“It’s really unexpected.”

"In fact, I didn't feel it was that cold. Maybe people haven't been to that environment, so they can talk about it in a high-profile way. Just like those Jiangnan girls who were exiled to Ningguta in ancient times, wearing thin linen clothes and tattered straw sandals in the cold winter and snow, and they were hungry. At that time, they had no right to talk about whether they liked it or not. So this is human nature!"

Tao Jiao said, "So if we really talk about reason, it shouldn't be my mom who hates my dad and Zhang Qinying. Instead, it's because of my dad's deception that she has been able to live a life of ease and comfort for more than 20 years. It should be Zhang Qinying who hates my mom and hates her for taking my dad away. But in fact, my mom has never competed with her for it. Moreover, over the years, Zhang Qinying first got pregnant and couldn't tell whose child the child was. She lost her job because of this, but still insisted on giving birth to the child. Later, the construction team was privately contracted and paid a contract fee to the town every year. My dad took over the contract, and she returned to the construction team. So if we talk about hatred or not, it should be that she hates my dad's ruthlessness and that she is not as beautiful and attractive as my mom."

Zhao Changan was silent for a while, and said with some difficulty: "You shouldn't say that about your mother, she is an elder."

"But the fact is that she is very attractive, isn't she? You haven't seen the way Uncle Liu treated my mother. It made me feel numb."

Tao Jiao smiled and said, "Zhang Qinying has lived in Guangzhou for so many years. I was still young and ignorant at that time, but my mother, do you think she really can't guess it? My second uncle and my aunt have such a good relationship. Besides, my second uncle is not that kind of person at all. My mother can't see this. So, if Zhang Qinying still has feelings for my father, then I am willing for my father to go and reunite with them."

At this time, Zhao Changan even had a very strange feeling and wanted to laugh.

It's like this side is still thinking about it, but the other side has already let it go with the wind. It's like now you think you have finally been magnanimous and let go of the noble sentiment of choosing to forgive and forget, but the other side no longer cares about it.

Zhao Changan said hesitantly, "This is just my personal opinion. Zhang Qinying wrote to your father at the beginning, but there has been no contact in the past year. To be honest, she is doing well there now. She is middle class and her perspective has changed a lot. In fact, I feel that before this, her feelings towards your father were more complicated, with love and hate. Now she should have let it go and doesn't want to mention it anymore."

What surprised Zhao Changan was that there was no surprise on Tao Jiao's pretty face. It seemed that she was not a fool.

"I understand. Thank you, Zhao Changan."

Tao Jiao said lightly.

Zhao Changan looked at Tao Jiao in surprise again. This little girl had frightened him several times today.
