Xu's father, Xu Tiesheng, is now over fifty, and his body and bones are no longer as strong as when he was young.
The ticket from City B to Liandao was expensive. Sun Xiaofang had previously repaid Xu Wantang more than 1,000 yuan without authorization, and now their family's fortune had been emptied. Their life was very difficult, and they had to pay for their daily meals.
Xu Tiesheng had no plans to come to Liandao. The ticket from City B to Liandao was expensive and could be worth the food of his family for a month.
But he had received several calls from his younger son in the past few days, and after hearing about the bastard Xu Wantang had done, he decided to come anyway. He must teach this unfilial daughter a lesson and give her some pension money.
The little money left in the family was given to the youngest son some time ago, and the fare to Liandao was borrowed from relatives without hesitation.
I arrived in a hurry. When Xu Tiesheng bought the ticket, he could no longer buy a hard seat and could only barely buy an unseating ticket.
He was tortured all the way. He couldn't find an empty seat along the way. He almost got into a quarrel with another man because he was competing for a seat, which resulted in the police being called in.
He had no choice but to rest in the empty space between the carriages.
But there were people coming and going here, and from time to time, people would step on or touch them. Not only that, there were so many people without seats that Xu Tiesheng couldn't even stretch his legs and could only sit in a corner in frustration.
The encounters along the way would break Xu Tiesheng's bones.
It was obvious that only a few days had passed, and Xu Tiesheng seemed to have aged more than ten years.
He had a stern face, and the bags under his eyes were stained with thick dark circles, making him look very embarrassed.
Even many people on the island didn't dare to approach him when they saw how violent he was and avoided him.
After Xu Tiesheng asked for directions several times to no avail, he finally asked a warm-hearted old woman.
"Are you talking about our Liandao announcer?" When Xu Wantang was mentioned, the old lady smiled like a flower and talked endlessly with loving eyes.
"The announcer on our island is from City B! The little girl is amazing! Not only is she beautiful, she is also good at broadcasting. My family and I understand the country's policies as soon as she talks about it."
The old lady couldn't stop talking, "I didn't understand it before, but now I know that our party really does practical things for us people!"
Seeing that the auntie was getting more and more energetic as she spoke, Xu Tiesheng's lines between his eyebrows deepened a little deeper, and he interrupted with a cold snort impatiently.
"You can talk a lot, what's so great about it?"
Xu Tiesheng has always been very disdainful of Xu Wantang's career. If the salary was not considerable, he would not agree with Xu Wantang doing this kind of work. What is the difference between it and singing?
The old lady was not happy when she heard what he said, "Comrade, how do you talk? How can you say that to a little girl?"
Xu Tiesheng's eyes widened, "I am her father! Why can't I say it?"
The old lady was stunned by Xu Tiesheng's words.
This is even more incomprehensible. How could anyone talk about his daughter like that?
"Where is she broadcasting now?" Xu Tiesheng asked, "I am her biological father and I have something to do with her."
The old lady looked at Xu Tiesheng warily, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he had evil intentions.
How could a father belittle his daughter like this? How could he not be able to contact his daughter?
This guy is definitely going to give the announcer trouble.
She had seen that girl last time. She was beautiful and polite. The old lady felt pity for her from the bottom of her heart and didn't want to say a word to Xu Tiesheng.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard her grandson say, "The beautiful announcer sister is at the village committee over there."
The old lady wanted to cover her granddaughter's mouth, but the words had already been spoken and it was too late.
Xu Tiesheng said no more and walked aggressively in the direction pointed by the little girl.
The old lady looked at her innocent granddaughter and then thought of the announcer girl. She felt guilty in her heart. After hesitating for a long time, she still followed.

Although Xu Wantang was not in good condition today, his work was going smoothly.
After the broadcast ended, Xu Wantang immediately relieved himself and felt extremely tired.
She didn't do the tidying up like yesterday. She got up and looked out the window. When she saw a dark green jeep parked at the door, she packed her things and walked out.
Xiao Xu arrived in time. It seemed that he heard the announcement and took advantage of the time.
Xu Wantang greeted the village director in the morning and could go home to rest after it was over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Wantang walked out of the village committee, someone stood in front of him.
Xu Wantang looked up and was stunned for a moment. It was her biological father, Xu Tiesheng.
Xu Wantang has never been very fond of Xu Tiesheng's father.
It is said that a daughter is her father's caring little cotton-padded jacket, his little lover in his previous life. Xu Wantang thought these words were all lies when he was a child.
At that time, she felt that she didn't want to be a little cotton-padded jacket for someone who scolded her every day and even beat her with a broomstick.
In her impression, her father had not been very close to her since she was a child, because she was not a boy and he rarely hugged her when she was a child.
If there was still a trace of warmth between her mother and the young girl, there was no friendship at all between Xu Tiesheng.
Her father is a role model for parents, and he always speaks the truth at home, but she is stubborn and doesn't know how to bow her head. He has beaten her frequently since she was a child, and her father often pinches the corner of her mouth to bleed and her buttocks to be spread open.
But even so, Xu Wantang in her previous life still thought that Xu Tiesheng was her biological father, and basically responded to his requests.
In his previous life, Xu Tiesheng was diagnosed with a tumor. His older brother and younger brother were unreliable, and his mother was too busy alone. Among the three children, only Xu Wantang stepped forward without hesitation and took turns taking care of Xu Tiesheng with his mother.
Xu Wantang was working during the day. After settling the child, he hurried to the hospital and stared at her all night, unable to sleep well.
Her mother could still rest at night, but it was difficult for her to get a good night's sleep, and she almost suffered a mental breakdown during that time.
But even so, her father still didn't appreciate it.
Xu Wantang still remembers that on the day her father was discharged from the hospital, she stood at the door in a daze and heard the uncle in the hospital bed next door joking,
"Old Xu, I really envy you. You are really blessed to have such a filial child like Xiaotang! You also have to have a daughter. I can't count on you!"
At that time, Xu Wantang was extremely nervous and stood at the door rubbing his clothes.
Her father had never praised her, so Xu Wantang couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
But immediately, she felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, from head to toe.
She heard her father's always disdainful voice, "What a blessing! I don't even want to admit that I am her father. What kind of job do I do? Talking with a high voice is not serious!"
At this point, she heard her dad say "poof".
Immediately, the conversation changed and his tone became very proud, "My sons are the most useful! My two sons are very promising! One is busy with business and the other is sitting in the office. I specifically asked them not to take care of them, so I will." It’s time to go outside and wait on people, so my son must not be allowed to do it!”
At that time, Xu Wantang felt her energy and blood rising, and tears flowed down unconsciously. She didn't know how to face the people in the ward, so she ran away without looking back.
Since then, she has become much colder towards her father. Her father often said that she had no conscience, and in the end he was so cruel that he even refused to collect her body.
After Xu Wantang came to his senses, he completely ignored the person in front of him, glanced at him, and then continued walking forward.
"Stop!" Xu Tiesheng shouted, frightening Xu Wantang.
