Chapter 512: Always Our Beloved Dad
Shen Hongyi looked at the children hesitantly.
Shen Ran naturally didn't think of asking them to pay for it themselves, and the others also wanted to pay for it for them.
But before anyone could say anything, Bai Tinghe continued talking.
He held Shen Hongyi's hand, smiling, very seriously.
"Whether it's your salary card or the money the children gave you, you gave me everything, and I was happy to collect it. But when you want to buy something, if you think that if you give it to me, it's my money, and you're embarrassed to tell me, then how can I dare to accept this money from you in the future?"
Shen Hongyi was stunned.
Looking at my wife's skinny face, I felt distressed, guilty and self-reproachful.
Bai Tinghe expressed gently.
"Husband, we are husband and wife. Your money is my money, but my money is also your money. Let's spend it together!"
Shen Hongyi felt even more guilty.
"For more than ten years, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband and a father. I have caused you, my wife, a lot of grievances and my children a lot of suffering. Although life is much better now, I always think of those days."
"Every time I get some money from the children, I just buy some wine and drink it. I don't even care about you and the children. I haven't earned a penny for this family. I have never done any housework. I only cause trouble for you. I am really a piece of shit! I am ashamed to face you and Ranran... I am obviously the head of the family, but I let the children support the family..."
"This villa and the villa next door were all bought by Ranran. The car I drive was also bought by Ranran. Even the furniture I use now and the food I eat were paid for by Ranran..."
"Without Ranran, we would still be living in a rental house."
"Seven of them, Huai Huai and his friends, were squeezed into one room, with bunk beds and no wardrobe. There was only one moldy desk. Seven people couldn't live together at the same time, so they rarely lived together at home..."
"There's only one bathroom, and the ten of us take turns using it. We have to queue up to brush our teeth in the morning and take a shower at night. Going to the toilet is also..."
"I feel guilty towards the children, and even more guilty towards you..."
"I was such a bad person, but you and the children never despised me at all and were so kind to me..."
"I can't help the children in any way. I just want to do my best not to hinder them. I also want to work hard to make money for you and make up for what I missed in the past. In fact, I know that this is far from enough..."
His eyes turned red as soon as he opened his mouth.
Halfway through the conversation, my nose started to ache and something welled up in my eyes.
When he said this, his voice choked up and tears streamed down his face until he couldn't continue speaking. He felt that it was very unpresentable to cry like this in front of his wife and children, so he quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
Ke Dairou didn't say a word.
She leaned in his arms tenderly and lovingly, with her hands on his back, patting it gently to soothe him.
Her eyes were also red.
As for responsibility, it is true that he has not fulfilled it in the past ten years, but she is the same, crazy and causing more trouble for the children. It would be better if he just drank some wine.
The atmosphere in the living room became gloomy and sad.
Shen Xinghuai and the others all looked at Shen Hongyi and Bai Tinghe, reminiscing about the past days.
That started after Shen Ran disappeared, and their family underwent earth-shaking changes.
In the beginning they just searched everywhere, then they slowly sold off their property, then borrowed usury, and finally they became addicted to alcohol and felt drowsy all day long, and ran around like a madman. They forgot from when they started, they never relaxed, never filled their stomachs, especially the few at the front, who were the first to bear the burden of making money.
In order to take care of his parents and younger brothers, he entered society early.
Even...begging on the streets.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment or hatred.
They even despised their parents and thought about abandoning them, but their conscience overcame their impulse. They were not afraid of difficulties and did not bow to reality. They supported each other and moved forward together.
No matter how difficult it is, I gritted my teeth and got through it!
After finding Ran Ran, the family seemed to have regained their vitality instantly! All the efforts paid off!
Just when the sun was shining on them, their growing disdain, disgust and resistance made them disappointed, and they all "ran away from home" and were unwilling to go back.
In fact, they were not that angry, otherwise they would not have gone home so easily.
But for a while they didn't know how to get along with Ranran. They were afraid that if they continued to stay at home and see her every day, their relationship would get worse, so they didn't dare to go back to face her.
Fortunately, Ran Ran changed after a while...
Not only did she do very well, she also helped the family pay off the mortgage and bought cars and houses for everyone...
She was like a person sent from heaven, making them feel that having a sister like her made the hard work of the past ten years nothing. If they had the chance to do it all over again, they would be willing to grit their teeth and persevere until the day when their sister would come back and the family would be reunited.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were red.
Shen Ran knew very well that she was not the original owner, but she really regarded them as family and was infected by this emotion.
Chen Caiyi envied this kind of family very much.
He was very glad that he listened to Sister Ran and escaped from that home to join this big family full of warmth.
Nanfeng is an orphan and he is not very empathetic, but he knows how the Shen family has been through all these years and he admires them very much. He also envies the family affection that he never has.
Su Mochen clenched his fists slightly.
His thoughts went back to the time before his mother passed away... At that time, he also had a happy and beautiful family.
In the end, it was Shen Ran who broke the silence.
Get up.
Smile.
"Dad, I told my brothers before that even though you didn't make any money and didn't contribute anything to the family, you didn't cause any trouble."
"You love to drink, but you don't steal or rob. The money you use to buy alcohol is always clean. When you are drunk, you don't go crazy and hit people or smash things. You don't even curse people. At most, you say my name, mistake a child on the street for me, and sleep on the street."
"You said you never cared about mom, but my brothers told me that if anyone dared to bully mom, you would definitely be the first one to rush forward and protect her in your arms."
"When loan sharks came to our house to collect debts, you never hid away. Even when you couldn't pay, you would protect mom and brothers. That's why you were the one who got beaten every time."
"Brothers, remember all of this."
"Although my mother is not in good spirits, she still remembers these things."
"In our hearts, even though you weren't very competent in some areas in the past, you will always be our most beloved dad!"
These words made Shen Hongyi shocked and happy.
He glanced at everyone in the family, and saw that they all nodded in agreement with what Ran Ran said.
He suddenly laughed.
Seeing this, Shen Ran put his hands on his hips and said fiercely.
"Dad, this is the last time!"
"And mom, you are not allowed to say such things again!"
