"If you only came to see Grandpa, you are always welcome to come. I won't stop you. Now that you have seen him, you can leave."
Xie Zhiguo saw that his grandfather's condition was indeed not good, but he finally said nothing and left after saying goodbye.
Xie Zhili didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, and followed Xie Zhiguo away.
After the two walked away, Xie Zhiguo asked: "What did you say to the old man that made him so angry?"
"What can you say? Just let him persuade Lin An to go to our principal and say hello and let you take the position."
Xie Zhiguo's mouth twitched.
"And then?"
"Then? He disagreed. He said that it's easy to pay back money, but it's hard to repay favors. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, he can't let Lin An owe others favors for this. Tsk, tsk, everything is against Lin An, Lin An, he only thinks that Lin An owes others favors, he never thought that the Lin family doesn't have a big house, and Lin Chuan can't even get married.
"Second brother, the old man is biased. He only thinks about his brothers and never cares about the two sons of our family and your Lin Sen. It seems that only Xie Lin An and his friends are his grandchildren, and our children are not his grandchildren. How much did he pay to raise Lin An and his friends? But what did he do to our children? The old man is biased."
Come to think of it, they were all grandchildren, and he raised Xie Linan and his brothers without saying anything, but he didn't raise his own son at all.
How can you be a grandfather like this?
"Third brother, after hearing what you said, I feel uncomfortable because of this."
"You, right? You said that he, as a grandfather, owed Lin Chuan. He got angry when he heard that, and even said that he would rather die? Listen to me, is this what a father said to his son?"
Um?
Xie Zhiguo looked at him in disbelief, feeling that it was impossible for the old man to say such a thing.
He might have exaggerated it.
"Okay, okay, there's nothing to say about this. The old man is biased to the bone, and it's useless for you to say anything. It's just annoying."
He patted Xie Zhili on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, we are brothers in distress. This is how our lives will be. Lin An makes a lot of money, which makes people jealous. He helps the whole village but not our two uncles, which is really infuriating, but what can we do? It's useless if he doesn't recognize us, and we can't force him to recognize us. Let's just forget about it. When Dad dies, we will cut off our relationship with them."
Xie Zhili snorted coldly, "You said that, as if we are still related now. Look at his attitude towards us, does he regard us as his uncles? Humph, he is waiting until Dad dies. In his heart, he has already severed the relationship with us."
"This... Oh! That's about right. Forget it, let's not look for trouble. Let's leave it at that. Let's go, don't come back later."
"How can that be possible?"
"What's the matter? Are you still unwilling to give up?"
"Why should you accept it? He is unkind, unjust and unfilial. He doesn't treat his own uncle well. He is wrong, so why should you give in to him? And dad, he is partial, he is unfair to the children of our two families, he owes Lin Chuan. If he doesn't do it for you, then forget it, but dad must be responsible for Lin Chuan's house."
"Hey, Third Brother, don't..."
Before he could finish, Xie Zhili shook him off and left.
Xie Zhiguo looked at him coldly, and after a moment, he smiled again.
…
Xie Linan took his grandfather to the hospital for a checkup, and was relieved to make sure there was no major problem.
Lin Xinghua blamed him for wasting money again and kept complaining about it all the way.
"I've taken medicine, but you still don't believe me when I say I'm fine. So I went to the hospital and had a bunch of tests. It turns out I spent several dollars without taking any medicine."
"It's just a few dollars, not much, can you buy one with confidence?"
"Why not more? Many people work hard for a month and can't earn more than a few dollars."
"Oh, that's not the case with other people. Xiaozhen and I are making a lot of money now, so we don't need a few bucks from you."
"Alas! Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this."
"So what if it's ruined? Who can you blame? You can't blame yourself. Who told you to roll your eyes at your second and third uncles? If you want to blame someone, blame them."
Lin Xinghua: “…”
No one spoke in the car.
After a while, Lin Xinghua said again: "Lin An, in fact, I know that you are seriously ill and will not survive."
Xie Linan was stunned. "Who said that? Don't listen to their nonsense. You can still live a long life."
"No one said that you are old and sick, but you are not stupid and your mind is clear. You don't tell you anything, but you know that your illness is not a minor one, but a serious one. It will cost a lot of money to treat your illness."
"I'm telling you, don't worry about the money."
"I know, that's a lot of money, but it's nothing to you."
Xie Linan said: "Just you know, no matter how much it costs, you are not a burden to us."
"I won't tell you anything." If he really had to be a burden to them, he would rather jump into the river and die than be a burden to them.
"Lin An, the doctor said how long can you live?"
Xie Linan glanced at him and said casually, "You can live for many years."
"What year?" Lin Xinghua frowned.
Xie Linan said: "With the current medical technology, medical technology has advanced so rapidly in recent years. There will definitely be a breakthrough in medical technology in a few years. By then, I can live at least another five years."
"No, aren't you an old monster? Don't live like that. You've lived enough."
Xie Linan: "What nonsense are you talking about? People spend money to buy their lives, they want to live longer, who can live longer?"
"Don't try to trick me. I know I won't live for many years."
"Why should I coax you? If you say it's the year, then it's the year."
Lin Xinghua: "I shouldn't have asked you."
Xie Linan: “…”
"Hey! It's fine if you don't tell me the truth, but I won't say these. I just want to say that the one I'm most worried about after I leave is Xiaowen."
Xie Linan turned his head to look at him again and slowed down the car.
"When you grow up, you will be fine. There is nothing to worry about. Hongxia has her parents, and the three little ones have you and Xiaozhen. They are all fine. Xiaowen is a poor kid. He has a father like your uncle and a mother who is not much different. I am worried... I am worried that he will not be able to read."
Xie Linan said, "You think too much. Although Third Uncle is not a good person, he knows the importance of studying. No matter what, he will not stop Xiaowen from studying."
"They have limited abilities. At most, they can only take care of Lin Chuan, not Xiao Wen. If Xiao Wen follows them, she will definitely suffer."
That's true.
"Look at how much Xiaowen loved to laugh when he was little, but now he is so quiet. I am most worried about him now."
Xie Linan sighed and said, "Grandpa, Xiaowen may not have an easy life, but compared to many people in the countryside, it's not bad. As for Third Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense about being poor and having a miserable life. Go out and ask around, how many families are better off than them? Even if he's not doing well, he has a dual-career family and a stable job as a teacher. How bad can he be?"
