Chapter 113 The Child

After Mr. Lu was discharged from the hospital last time, the two brothers, Lu Yinghui and Lu Yingliang, simply set up a treatment room in the old house, spent a lot of money to purchase medical equipment, and even hired a medical team to take care of Mr. Lu and be available whenever needed.

The family doctor arrived quickly.

Grandpa Lu fainted because of his extreme emotional fluctuations and his heart condition. It was much better than when he was hospitalized after being angered by Lu Yuhan last time.

However, as I get older, my body has suffered some damage, so I'm basically in a state where every day I can live is a bonus.

Lu Fengqing sat on the edge of the bed, her tear stains dried, but she didn't care that her delicate makeup was ruined. She stood motionless, watching over Old Master Lu.

"Sister," Lu Fengyao called out.

Lu Fengqing did not move.

Lu Fengxu shook his head and pulled his younger brother out.

The events at the Lu residence couldn't possibly go unnoticed by their parents. Now that their grandfather was alright, he needed to call them to let them know he was safe.

Not long after, Old Master Lu woke up.

He looked at his granddaughter intently, said nothing, and then fell asleep.

After the family doctor came to check on her again and left, Lu Fengqing sat down again by the bedside.

They sat there until it was completely dark.

Until Dou Meijuan arrived, she was dragged out without a word.

Dou Meijuan pulled Lu Fengqing back into Lu Fengqing's room and whispered, "Fengxu told me everything."

Lu Fengqing lowered her head guiltily and said softly, "Rui Rui misses me. I promised him I would bring him over after summer vacation."

Dou Meijuan couldn't help but sigh, "I said back then that the best thing is to ignore it, not even see it."

The two elderly people doted on their granddaughter because she was their daughter's biological child and looked like her. Their great-grandson, on the other hand, was a boy and, apart from his eyebrows and eyes, looked more like his father. Naturally, the elderly people didn't love him as much.

For the elderly people who were born and raised in that era and suffered hardships, whether their children could grow up with their parents was not the most important thing. As long as they didn't go hungry or cold and grew up healthy, that was enough. The two elderly people were traumatized by their daughter's situation and refused to let their granddaughter be a single mother. Even if they relented and allowed their granddaughter to keep the child, they were determined to send the child away.

She couldn't change the two elderly people's minds, so all she could do was send the child to her parents' home to be raised as their grandson. That way, she could still keep an eye on him and ensure he had enough to eat and wear. This was better than the two elderly people giving the child away to just anyone.

As a mother, no one wants to let their child leave them. But if you can't keep them, don't get too close to them. It's cruel to develop feelings for them and then separate. If you don't want to be sad, and you don't want your child to be sad, then don't let them depend on you in the first place.

She had already told Niannian about these things, and Niannian had done a good job in the past.

Ultimately, that child should never have been brought back to City A.

She felt it was inappropriate at the time, but her eldest son insisted it was fine, and even his father agreed to bring the child back, so she had no choice but to agree.

Now, Niannian and the old man are arguing again about the child.

Dou Meijuan sighed again, "You've heard from the doctor that your grandfather... even if he has some ideas, he should hold off for now. Rather than worrying about recognizing Rui Rui, what you should be more concerned about now is whether the old man will simply leave Rui Rui there and not let him come back."

Lu Fengqing's expression changed.

On the other side, Lu Yinghui and Lu Yingliang were visiting the old man in the treatment room. Lu Yinghui, who was usually good-tempered, couldn't help but get angry.

“Don’t you know your own health condition? She’s still young and her thoughts are immature. You’re already so old, just listen and let it go. Why get upset over it?” Lu Yinghui paced back and forth by the hospital bed with his hands behind his back. “Besides, if you’re so capable, then live to be a hundred. Otherwise, can you control her today and tomorrow? Can’t you think more positively?”

Old Master Lu's eyes reddened, "How am I supposed to come to terms with this? Sisi, she..."

Lu Yinghui, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted his father: "I've wanted to say this to you for a long time. My sister is my sister, and Niannian is Niannian. Just because my sister can't think straight doesn't mean everyone else will. You're generalizing and condemning everyone. When we were little, you always told us that we have to walk our own paths, and parents and elders can only guide us, not interfere. What are you doing now? Even if Niannian and my sister walk the same path, that's fate!"

"Besides, what era are we living in? What's wrong with a woman not getting married? What's wrong with her giving birth to a child? Besides, she was having a child for her boyfriend, not someone else's husband. What did she do wrong? If Niannian were my daughter, I would support her for life if she never got married. I would raise ten children for her, as long as it doesn't violate ethics, morality, or the law. Isn't it better for a family to live happily together? Why care about other people's opinions?"

Lu Yingliang disagreed with his brother's words, "Why have children if you're not married?"

Lu Yinghui: "That's your opinion, I won't argue with you. You should raise your daughter yourself, as long as she doesn't harm others, I will absolutely not interfere."

“Lu Yinghui!” Lu Yingliang gritted his teeth, “Yuhan is also your niece.”

Lu Yinghui looked at him coldly, "As her uncle, I'd like to ask who taught her to become the way she is today."

Lu Yingliang's face paled slightly, and he turned his head away, remaining silent.

Lu Yinghui looked at his father again, "Niannian is not my daughter after all, so I can't really control her. If I did, you probably wouldn't want to see her either. If you really love your children and grandchildren and want to spend more time with us, try to think more positively. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It's better to live a few more years with a peaceful mind than to worry about this and that."

Lu Yingliang agreed with his brother this time and turned around to say, "Nothing is more important than your own health. No matter how much you worry, you can't take care of them forever. Let them do whatever they want. Who hasn't been rebellious when they were young? If they cause trouble, your brother and I will take care of them. Just focus on taking care of your health."

Old Master Lu's eyes were filled with tears, and he didn't say anything.

Things you've worried about and feared for most of your life, how can you just let go of them so easily?
