Chapter 1416: A Father's Love, Like a Mountain!
The woman paused and looked at Chen Zhifu, saying nothing.
Chen Zhifu took a deep breath; to be honest, he was already prepared.
The daughter can escape, but he cannot.
Adults should take responsibility for their own actions.
This 50-year-old migrant worker might not be well-educated or understand many principles, but he is a father, knowing his daughter has nowhere to go now, and it's very difficult.
He decided to take his daughter's place.
Even if this daughter is indeed insensible, but... he's a father.
Actually, a father's love is just like this, tolerant and great!
An unselfish love that doesn't count the gains or losses.
He'll apologize for his daughter's mistakes.
He'll face what his daughter can't face.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Chen Zhifu wiped his sweat: "I am Chen Xiaoli's father."
Upon hearing this, the woman thought Chen Zhifu came for revenge, her chest heaving with anger: "Are you here to settle accounts with me because I bullied your daughter?"
"Yes, I was the one who asked to put up the banners. You can hit me."
The woman's words were also decisive, leaving Chen Zhifu suddenly stunned.
He didn't expect such a beginning.
"Come on, I didn't expect your daughter to commit suicide either. Blame me, but have you ever considered my suffering?"
"I have kids, and I have a family. When your daughter destroyed my family, why didn't you stand up?"
While speaking, the woman had already begun to cry.
She removed her sunglasses; her eyes were already red from crying.
"You can hit me. I won't retaliate, I won't call the police, and I won't seek revenge. Your daughter still has a father, but I have nothing now, do you understand?"
"My husband is gone, my home is gone! Do you understand how I feel?"
"What's wrong with me putting up a banner? Your daughter can seduce my husband but I can't even vent a little?"
The woman spoke while wiping her tears.
At this moment, a loud crash suddenly startled the woman.
Chen Zhifu knelt decisively in front of the woman.
"Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't raise my daughter well, and she destroyed your family. I'm apologizing to you."
"I hope... you can forgive her. She's only 20 and has a long way ahead. If you keep putting up banners, her life will be ruined forever!"
"I'm begging you, please forgive her."
"I don't want a cent of this money. You take it all back, and I'll take care of my daughter. Whatever your husband spent on her, give me a number, and I'll surely repay it."
Chen Zhifu spoke in accented but powerful Mandarin.
The surrounding people were all stunned.
The impact was overwhelming.
No one expected Chen Zhifu to kneel directly.
Even the woman was momentarily at a loss for words.
Chen Cang quickly stepped forward to help Chen Zhifu up, but Chen Zhifu waved him away.
"Miss, I know you're in pain too, and I know my daughter caused you great loss and hurt. I don't condone her actions. Wrong is wrong."
"But she's still unconscious, and as her father, I apologize to you first, asking you to spare her."
At that time, a little boy ran over to stand beside the woman, seeing the scene, he widened his eyes curiously at Chen Zhifu and looked up at the woman.
The boy wasn't very old, around four or five.
"Mom... what's wrong?"
The woman discreetly wiped her tears: "Go help that grandpa up."
The little boy nodded and cautiously walked over to Chen Zhifu, looking at him, he said in a childish voice: "Grandpa, get up. A real man doesn't cry or bleed, and he certainly shouldn't kneel."
"Mom says a man's knees are golden, you shouldn't kneel recklessly."
Looking at this little boy, Chen Zhifu felt even more guilt inside.
The honest and sincere farmer now understood that his daughter hadn't just ruined a woman; she had destroyed a home!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhifu felt even more sinful.
Even though he knows, without his daughter, the man might have still cheated, but it shouldn't have been his daughter to destroy another's family.
Chen Zhifu not only knew that a man's knees are golden, he knew that he only kneels to heaven, earth, and parents, not to others.
But... as a father, he was willing to forgo his dignity, only hoping his daughter's future is not affected.
He knew his daughter was also pushed to the brink, knowing not what to do, choosing suicide as an escape.
Chen Zhifu was willing to face these things on behalf of his daughter.
Originally thought to be a humiliation, it turned out to be yet another broken family.
Thinking this, Chen Zhifu felt even more apologetic.
At this moment, a woman in hospital attire suddenly ran out; it was none other than Chen Xiaoli.
Seeing her father kneeling on the ground, if she remained unmoved, she would really not be human.
She cried and knelt in front of her father: "Dad, I was wrong, sob... I was really wrong, I won't dare again."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have destroyed your family!"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Chen Xiaoli knelt there, holding her father, sobbing heavily.
Chen Zhifu sighed heavily.
The woman standing there couldn't help but shed tears watching this scene.
She stared at Chen Xiaoli: "Stop crying, what do you have to cry about?"
"I really envy you; you have such a father who redeems himself for you, who is willing to kneel to protect you!"
"Really, after it happened, he never came home once, he just told me, 'let's divorce!'
"I'm a woman too; should I deserve to be bullied?"
"Where is my child's father?"
As the woman spoke, she also collapsed onto the ground.
The scene was almost out of control.
At this time, the little boy seeing his mother crying, hurried over to hug her, his small hand wiped away her tears, with a crying voice, and tears in his eyes, he said:
"Mom, don't cry. I'll protect you!"
"When I grow up, I'll protect you."
The woman couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
After a while, more and more people gathered around. Chen Zhifu sighed and helped the woman up.
"Miss, I was wrong, you take back the money, when my daughter recovers, I'll bring her to apologize to you, hoping you can forgive her."
The woman wiped her tears, glanced at Chen Xiaoli: "You should be thankful for having such a good father."
Finished speaking, the woman got up and left.
Honestly, Chen Xiaoli was just a catalyst; it's not so much that she hated Chen Xiaoli, but rather her husband.
Chen Cang looked at Chen Zhifu and couldn't help but sigh.
A father's love is like a mountain!
Truly so.
A father's love for his children is without limits, willing to lose their lives and spill blood, willing to lower the most precious dignity into the dust, willing to kneel down with their prideful knees.
Just wishing that in the future, his daughter could be well.
...
ps: Father's Day has passed a few days ago, may all fathers be in good health and all things go well, and I hope all children give their fathers some peace of mind, that's the best gift.
Daughters can make some delicious food for their fathers, or buy something they like, be a little warm coat for them.
Sons can buy some wine for their fathers, sit down with them and have a good chat.
When we grow up, Father... actually has aged, with a belly full of stories wanting to tell us, what to do in the future, talk with him, father will not harm you.
Last night, while dining with the leader, something came up which I want to share with you.
Then one of the fifty-something senior inspectors mentioned that his boy is getting ready for marriage, after drinking too much, he started to share.
He said: "My son likes a girl, and the girl's family requires a house purchase, but our family isn't financially well off, can't afford it! And also the dowry, because of this matter, it's been delayed for over a year."
"Later on, one day, I drank too much with my son, and he cried like anything, he didn't want me to suffer, but really didn't want to give up the girl."
He also said: "Generally, in a family, in situations like this, most fathers think about fulfilling their sons, bestowing happiness upon them, as for themselves, they don't mind if they struggle, while mothers usually at this time choose to interfere in the marriage."
Whether it is correct or not, I think there's some truth to it, sharing it with everyone, just as a little story.
