The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife
Chapter 182: Still Easy to Coax
Li Changpu did not hide his family background and was very frank, "You know a little about my situation. I was born in the countryside."
Jiang Tingxia had no idea about the specific details of the marriage between Li Changpu and the Jiang family. Now that she mentioned this, she was afraid of being exposed in front of Li Changpu, so she just nodded and didn't dare to say anything. She felt guilty.
Fortunately, Li Changpu didn’t think too much about it.
He went on to say, "There are some things about my family that I haven't told you about. My mother died when I was a few years old. My father married a stepmother and had two more sons. My sister and I lived under the stepmother's thumb. We didn't have enough food or warm clothes, and it was common for us to be beaten every three days."
He looked outside the door, "Just like those three little guys."
He said it lightly, but Jiang Tingxia felt a little bitter. When she heard him say that he was always beaten and had no food to eat, she suddenly thought of Li Changpu, a tiny person shivering and starving in the snow.
Jiang Tingxia's heart softened.
How pitiful! She thought so and touched Li Changpu's face unconsciously with her fingers. She said, "It's all over."
However, the marks of beatings on Xiaowen and Xiaoyu were still vivid in Jiang Tingxia's mind. Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu's face and felt even more distressed. His mouth pursed and he cried, "How could those people treat you like that? They are so mean."
Seeing her like this, Li Changpu reached out to wipe away her tears, with a doting look in his eyes, "Why are you still crying?"
He smiled and consoled her, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss. If the two sons born to my stepmother dared to fight with me, I would have beaten them back harshly."
Li Changpu added, "In fact, I didn't live like this for many years. One time, my father asked me to buy him some wine, and I took the money and ran away. They couldn't find me at all."
Jiang Tingxia looked at him with a bit of anxiety in her eyes. Even though Li Changpu was standing in front of her, she was still worried that he would encounter something bad. She asked, "Then where did you go?"
"Join the army," Li Changpu smiled and gestured his height, "I was this young at the time. I can't remember exactly how old I was, probably around twelve or thirteen. I just insisted to the people at the registration office that I was already eighteen years old."
Li Changpu saw that Jiang Tingxia's eyes were covered with tears, and tried to speak in a more relaxed tone, "Of course they didn't believe me. I was also a scoundrel at that time. I insisted that I didn't grow tall because I didn't have enough food to eat. I threw a tantrum and insisted that they take me in."
"Who would have thought that he would grow so tall just a few days after joining the army."
Jiang Tingxia watched him laughing as he spoke, and imagined what Li Changpu looked like as a teenager, so he laughed too.
"You can also throw a tantrum, I didn't realize it."
Li Changpu smiled and said, "I have no choice. I have to find a place to eat."
Jiang Tingxia frowned, "And then you joined the army, at such a young age."
Li Changpu replied, "Yes, I was lucky. When they needed people to go to the front line, I just carried my gun and went there."
Thinking of the past, Li Changpu showed some joy on his face, "You don't know, I was only in the army for a few days, and I was pulled out because of my age. Fortunately, Chief He saw that I was an accurate shooter, so I was able to stay."
At only twelve or thirteen years old, Li Changpu was about as old as Xiaowen, but he had already had to fight on the battlefield just to have something to eat.
Jiang Tingxia hugged him and felt like crying, "Li Changpu, why were you so miserable when you were a child?"
Li Changpu saw that she was in a low mood and patted Jiang Tingxia on the back. He knew that Jiang Tingxia was worried about him, so his tone became cheerful and he coaxed her, "It's okay, don't be sad. It's nothing for a man to suffer a little."
Li Changpu wiped Jiang Tingxia's face with a wet towel and said, "I'm not telling you this to make you cry."
"I mean, my sister is the only relative I have in that family."
Li Changpu sighed, "My sister has a miserable life. When Xiaowen was still in her belly, her husband died. After she remarried, her brother-in-law got sick again and has to stay in the hospital for treatment all year round."
"She has to take care of the patients and worry about three children at the same time. Her life is very hard."
Li Changpu's eyes were filled with pleading, "As her younger brother, I must help her, that's why I want to let the children live at home."
Jiang Tingxia felt sorry for him when he saw him like this, "Go ahead and help me. I'm not stopping you."
She said unhappily, "It's as if I have a heart of stone."
Li Changpu said, "Of course you are not."
"Thank you for taking care of the children these past two days."
He shook his head. "I promised you that I would let you live a good life with me, but it turned out like this."
He said, “It’s my fault.”
Jiang Tingxia tapped his shoulder with her finger, "Since you've already apologized, let's forget it this time."
"Don't do this next time. If you have anything to discuss with me, it's not like I won't agree. Don't make it seem like you're forcing me to accept it. I don't like that."
Li Changpu nodded seriously, "I won't do that again in the future."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Tingxia's expression and asked, "You are not angry with me now, right?"
"Well, I'm not angry anymore."
Li Changpu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Tingxia's temper came and went quickly, and he was still easy to coax.
