"This……"

"Don't talk to me about this and that. I have never lived a hard life. No matter how good your life is now, with a decent job and a guaranteed monthly income, think about your childhood. How could my family dare to dream of a house or a wife? We didn't even have enough to eat. We would have starved to death."

"What era is this? Why are you telling me this? The hard times are over. Can you let me go back to those hard times?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Lin Xinghua nodded in agreement, "If you want to live a hard life, then work hard. Just work hard to make yourself live a good life."

"Dad." Seeing his salty tone, Xie Zhili also became a little angry. "Do you think I'm good? I just want to live a good life, what's wrong with that? Look at what you said, not only did you help me, but you also mocked me. Yes, yes, I don't make as much as my brother, and I'm not as successful as my eldest brother, let alone my nephew, but I also tried hard. Besides, I make a lot of money as a teacher, can you blame me? This path was chosen for me by my eldest brother. He let me pass the technical secondary school entrance examination to become a teacher."

Um?

Lin Xinghua's eyes widened. "You rebellious son, what are you saying? Are you blaming your elder brother for being so rude?"

"So what? I thought being a teacher was so respectable, but now I know this shit can't even support a family."

"Old Three, you are speaking very sensibly. You are now dissatisfied with the salary of being a teacher, but you said so ten years ago. Ten years ago, when everyone was hungry, no one was hungry to be a teacher. When you were showing off your fixed monthly income, you never said that being a teacher was good."

Xie Zhili's mouth twitched, and then softened. "Yes, yes, I said something wrong, I am not right. Being a teacher is good, but I can't be a teacher for life. I don't want to be alone, the key is that I still have two sons, they have to get married. Dad, please help me."

"Humph." Lin Xinghua snorted coldly and turned around. "I'll help you, get out quickly."

Xie Zhili was unwilling to leave, and turned to the other side and said to Lin Xinghua: "If you buy a house and marry your grandson and daughter-in-law, you will be laughed at. You have to do it for my sake, but you have to do it for your grandson's sake."

Lin Xinghua turned to the other side.

Then Xie Zhili also turned to the other side, "Dad, as a grandfather, you can't favor one over the other. You raised Lin An and the others, but you never raised Lin Chuan when he was a child. You owe them this, right?"

"Really? Bullshit. I raised Lin An and the others because they have no parents and it's my responsibility to raise them. What's the matter? Are you and your wife dead? If you and your wife are dead, then I should raise your two sons."

Xie Zhili, "..."

"Dad, I am your own son, how can you curse me to death?"

"Well, you deserve it."

"You... humph, you are a cuckold eating a weight, you are so stubborn that you will help me?"

"Bastard?" Lin Xinghua was so angry that he took off his shoes and beat him. "I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard, and you dare to scold me?"

"Hey, Dad, stop it. It's New Year's Day, what are you doing? Stop it..."

"You deserve to be beaten to death by me. I should have taken advantage of the situation and killed this unscrupulous person like you."

"Humph, from childhood to adulthood, I always gave you the best food and drinks because you were the youngest. I gave you all the rice in a pot of porridge, and your two brothers were so hungry that they could only eat some vegetable leaves and drink rice soup. What else do you want? If I had known you were such a heartless person, I should have slapped you to death..."

Lin Xinghua beat and scolded him and drove him out.

Everyone saw Xie Zhili running in front and his old man limping after him, so they all gathered around.

"Oh, Dad, what happened to you?"

Xie Zhiguo hurriedly stopped him.

The sole of Lin Xinghua's shoe hit Xie Zhiguo directly in the face.

"You are nothing good."

Xie Zhiguo was so confused that he asked, "Dad, what happened?"

"Humph, do you really think I'm old and confused? I don't know what you two are up to?"

"Dad, where did you get this from?"

"Puh, where do I start? Humph, I raised you, and I know what you want to do when you stick your butts out. Don't think I know what you want. You saw that I was almost done, and you took advantage of me to force me while I was still alive. Tell me, what kind of guarantee do you want me to give you?"

"I..." When he saw Xie Zhili's miserable state, he knew he had failed.

If he speaks again now, will he be rejected?

Xie Zhiguo said nothing, only said: "I don't have anything to say, I just came to see you. Look, this is the banana I bought for you. Dad, the New Year is coming soon, bananas are very cheap, here, have one."

"Eat it, take it back."

"No, how can I take it back after it was given to you? Dad, I know you blame us for not being filial, and I feel guilty too. If your eldest brother is gone, I should be the main person to take care of you in your old age, and your third brother should be the assistant. But in the end, neither of us did a good job, and it was your nephews and nieces who took care of you in your old age. We are kind to you in this regard, and we also thank Xiaoli, Lin An and their brothers.

But we are in a difficult situation. We want to be filial to you, but the conditions at home are limited. You have lived in my house for a month, and you can see that there is only a small room without windows for you to live in. The room is very stuffy, and you are sick. Living here for a long time will be good for your health. If you don't like it, you can come back with me. What do you think?"

"What? Let's go. I want you to be filial, and I don't blame you. Just don't bother me."

"Dad, you are right. How can we bother you? You are already this old. To put it bluntly, how many years can you live? We just want to see you, just one look."

“Bah, I am old, but I am not confused. I, I…” The old man couldn’t bear it anymore. He staggered and began to roll his eyes.

Xie Linan hurried forward and supported him.

Xie Li immediately took out the medicine from his pocket and gave it to him.

His sudden action frightened the whole family.

Xie Zhiguo also dared to speak.

Xie Zhili hid far behind the door, fearing that he would be blamed if anything went wrong.

After taking medicine and being comforted, the old man gradually calmed down.

"Dad, are you okay?" Xie Zhiguo stepped forward and asked tentatively.

Xie Linan turned to him and said, "If you want Grandpa to live two more years, don't make trouble. Just say it."

"Lin An, you really misunderstood me. I really just came to visit his hometown."

"Okay." He didn't say anything today. He couldn't admit it, so he said it.
