Chapter 748 [(*^▽^*)]

Of course, he knew that no matter how much pain Xue Rui was in, it was highly unlikely that things would go as he wished.

He knew this in his heart, which is why he ultimately decided not to use this method. He was in great pain, and his child was in even greater pain, having been in pain since childhood.

Now that someone has finally appeared who can help him get out of his pain, how could he, as the grandfather, leave his grandson with endless suffering as his last thing on his deathbed?

Although he still really wanted to see Xue Rui get married and have children, bringing his wife and children to him, things were fine as they were now.

"It's all right now..."

The old butler sensed something was wrong. "Should we go and see the child for ourselves?"

Grandpa Xue waved his hand, "No need. I like Arui the most. I will only acknowledge him as my grandson in this lifetime. These two children are indeed cute, but I will not acknowledge them."

The old butler, "This..."

Grandpa Xue sighed deeply, "I don't admit it, but I don't object either."

The old housekeeper knew that the old man in front of him was being stubborn again, even though he was looking at the child's photos and videos and his eyes were practically glued to the screen.

Grandpa Xue probably noticed the old housekeeper's gaze and coughed lightly, "What do you want? I want some water."

The old butler very kindly made him a cup of tea.

Grandpa Xue ignored him, drinking his tea and looking at his phone, creating a harmonious atmosphere for a moment.

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui are both preparing for the upcoming super-star dungeon, which could arrive at any time. As soon as the time limit required by the dungeon is reached, they will immediately enter the dungeon.

They always choose the 3S difficulty level for the dungeon. Although they sometimes fail, they have successfully cleared it more often than not. Over the years, they have earned a lot of points.

They certainly wouldn't dare use too many points. After all, although they said they were determined to clear the Super Star Dungeon, they couldn't rule out the possibility of failure. So they needed to save the points they had earned for unforeseen circumstances in the future.

Even if they fail and their points are deducted, they can still survive. Death is the end of everything; only by living can there be infinite possibilities.

Lin Leyou cut a watermelon and sat in the living room, scooping it out with a spoon. He didn't go to the company with Xue Rui today, but stayed at home alone to eat something nice and check on the situation back home.

Of course, he would occasionally go to the other side to look at the two children. The two children had been growing more and more beautiful recently, and he even saw a bit of Xue Rui's shadow in their little faces.

That makes sense, they're all children of the Xue family, so it's only natural that they look alike.

He still likes children as long as they don't cry or make a fuss. It's just that he can't stand them because he changes his mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

As for their hometown... they're already looking for a kindergarten for their younger brother. These kindergartens are expensive, costing several thousand yuan per semester, which adds up to about 15,000 yuan a year.

And this is a public school; if they went to a private school... I'm afraid they wouldn't have enough money in their savings account to cover a semester's tuition.

Lin Jiashu wasn't home at the moment; he was out working during the day. It was good enough for someone like him to find any job at all, earning only two or three thousand a month, doing manual labor nearby, since he didn't know how to do anything else.

The more you do, the more you earn; the less you do, the less you earn. Some of the people who work with him earn seven or eight thousand a month, but because of his poor health, he earns at most three thousand a month.

Normally, this amount of money would be more than enough, but now we have a money-guzzling monster at home. This little bit of money is only enough for two months of formula. And now that the child can eat solid food, we can save a little on formula.

But a new problem has arisen: the kindergarten.

Fortunately, they are locals and have a house in town, so a nearby public kindergarten accepted the child; otherwise, they really wouldn't know what to do.

Zhou Meijuan is taking care of her child at home and also does some handicrafts at home, which earns her several hundred yuan a month, which helps ease the family's financial burden.

She could see the family's savings account, and there was only a little over 40,000 yuan left. What could that little money do? The kindergarten had already been booked, costing six or seven thousand yuan per semester, not including other expenses.

Just then, she heard the sound of a bowl breaking from the kitchen, followed by a child crying. She quickly put down her things and went over. She saw the child sitting on the floor in the kitchen crying, and a broken bowl was not far away.

The food in the bowl was scattered all over the floor; it was the child's leftover lunch. It had been trampled on and looked dirty and disgusting.

"My little darling, if you want to eat, can't you just ask your mother to help you? Look at the mess you've made..."

Because the family was short of money, the things they could give their children naturally couldn't be the best.

Lin Leyou saw Zhou Meijuan grab the child's clothes, lift him up and stand him up, and then start tidying up the things in the kitchen. But she didn't notice that the child had stopped crying. She turned around and went to the living room, where she grabbed the things she used to earn money with her dirty, greasy hands. As a result, she accidentally pricked her hand with a needle.

She burst into tears again, crying and calling for her mother.

Zhou Meijuan had just finished cleaning the kitchen when she rushed over, "Oh dear, how many times have I told you not to touch this thing? Look at you, now you know it hurts, don't you?"

She took the child's hand and led him to the toilet, cleaned him up, then put an apple in his hand and let him sit on a small stool to eat it by himself.

I just put it in front of me and look at it.

Lin Leyou thought about it. If it were in his previous life, if he had worked on construction sites outside for the past three years, he could have earned 5,000 a month and 60,000 a year. After all, he was also kept on the construction site for the Chinese New Year and was not allowed to go back.

Three years' worth of money would amount to 180,000 yuan. That's enough for them to live a comfortable life, unlike their current situation.

Just then, Lin Leyou's phone received another message from Lin Jiashu.

The couple took turns sending him messages, and knew he wouldn't answer their calls.

To win him over, he would either cry his heart out or complain about being poor, making himself appear as pitiful as possible, and would send him messages whenever he had time.

But he would just glance at it and forget about it, never taking it to heart.

He could see the most authentic picture of what their lives were like at any time.

The fact that Lin Jiashu is messaging him now means he's slacking off. After all, it's working hours, and he's used to it.

Lin Leyou opened his eyes and looked at the watermelon in front of him. "Delicious."

In his past life... he only ate it a few times when his grandparents were still alive. Since he started working, he hasn't eaten anything this good for decades.

"Is the watermelon delicious?"

Lin Leyou was taken aback. It was Xue Rui's voice. He glanced at the ring subconsciously and replied with a smile, "It's delicious. It's a pity you're at the company."

Xue Rui: "I'm back."

Lin Leyou blinked and checked the time. "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon. You're back already?"

Xue Rui: "I've finished my work for today, and there's nothing else to do."

Lin Leyou: "They're not just putting things off until tomorrow, are they?"

Xue Rui: "No."

Lin Leyou: "Alright then."

Not long after they finished chatting, Xue Rui appeared at the house. He snatched the watermelon from Lin Leyou's hand, and Lin Leyou just watched him eat it quietly.

He then got up and went to the kitchen to get the other half, and sat down next to him to continue eating. However, Xue Rui was not satisfied and tentatively reached the spoon in his hand towards Lin Leyou.

Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. He didn't stop Xue Rui from eating. As a result, Xue Rui ate most of the food, and Lin Leyou ate the rest.

Lin Leyou handed the watermelon rind to the robot to handle. Xue Rui was about to speak when he got up and went to the toilet. Lin Leyou chuckled twice and said, "Don't you know that eating too much watermelon will make you need to go to the toilet?"

Xue Rui knew this, of course, but he was very thirsty, dry, and hot, so he couldn't help but eat more.

After he came out, Lin Leyou suddenly asked, "Something must have happened today, so tell me."

Xue Rui, "How did you know?"

Lin Leyou, "Is it because I didn't go to the company with you that you're so eager to come back?"

Xue Rui: "Can't it be for this reason?"

Lin Leyou, "It's not that you can't, so are you really alright?"

Xue Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "Something's up."

Lin Leyou: "What's wrong?"

Xue Rui: "Let's go stay in Xingfu Community for a few days."

Lin Leyou blinked, glanced at the scorching sun outside, and asked, "Now?"

Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, now."

Lin Leyou: "Is there some reason why you absolutely have to go?"

Xue Rui: "I want to go."

Lin Leyou sighed, "Fine, I'll do as you say. Let's go upstairs."

To access the Happy Community instance, Lin Leyou would first need to return to the Endless World, stay at home, and wait for the Happy Community instance to open.

Xue Rui followed him upstairs, while Lin Leyou kept saying, "I don't know when the Happiness Community instance will open. Let's just wait an hour. If it doesn't open in an hour, I'll come back."

Xue Rui: "Okay, one hour."

Lin Leyou, "What exactly happened?"

Xue Rui didn't say anything, but gently patted his waist, urging him to hurry up.

Lin Leyou hurried back to his room, then lay down on the bed, nestled in Xue Rui's arms, closed his eyes, and returned to the Endless World. He woke up in his home in the Happiness Community and used the ring to notify Xue Rui.

After receiving the news, Xue Rui said, "Okay, I'll try to go there now."

Although that's what he said to Lin Leyou, he actually arranged Lin Leyou in a comfortable position, then got out of bed, put the mechanical spider on the bed, and left the room.

He closed the door, quickly went downstairs, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"It's me. I'm coming right now. You wait here."

He quickly drove away. It didn't take long to get from the villa to his destination, about fifteen minutes, mainly because the villa area was quite close to this place.

This is a somewhat deserted construction site. The previous company went bankrupt and hasn't found a takeover yet, so it's been abandoned here. However, the location of this land is quite good, so it's likely that someone will take over soon.

After Xue Rui arrived, he parked the car, got out, and walked inside.
