Seeing his father squatting on the ground wiping his tears, Zhou Bin said, trying to hold back his physical discomfort: "Dad, what are you doing squatting on the ground? Get up!"
Xiaohua ran to her grandfather and said distressedly, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Did they beat you?"
Zhou Jianming shook his head, tears completely bursting out, and he hugged Xiaohua in his arms, crying bitterly: "Xiaohua, Grandpa is sorry for you, it's all Grandpa's fault for being incompetent!"
When Xiaohua saw Grandpa crying, she quickly wiped his tears with her little hands and said, "Grandpa, don't cry, Xiaohua won't cry either."
Looking at his old father's appearance, Zhou Bin felt a pain in his chest and vomited blood again.
This frightened Li Nan, and he shouted, "Brother Bin, what happened to you?"
When Xiaohua saw her father vomiting blood, she ran over and hugged Zhou Bin's legs, shouting anxiously, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Dad!"
Zhou Jianming was so scared that he quickly wiped his tears and came over to help Zhou Bin onto the kang.
"Binbin, what's wrong with you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Zhou Jianming asked with a sad face.
Although Zhou Bin felt uncomfortable, he still managed to say, "Dad, I'm fine. I still want our family to live a good life."
Zhou Jianming nodded with tears in his eyes, but his heart was already filled with sorrow.
He patted his son's back gently, and when he saw that he gradually stopped coughing, he felt relieved and sat aside.
Li Nan and Xiaohua surrounded him with concern, looking at him with worry.
Zhou Bin half leaned on the quilt and said with a smile: "What are you doing? I'm fine now, aren't I?"
"Brother Bin, you scared me to death just now, I thought..." Li Nan's tears burst out again and he couldn't continue.
"Dad, does it still hurt?" Xiaohua asked with concern, staring at him with big eyes.
Zhou Bin gently held Xiaohua's hand, and looked at her thin body and pale face, feeling distressed.
He said softly, "I don't feel any pain anymore, Xiaohua, don't be afraid. Daddy will be fine soon, and Daddy won't let anyone take you away from him."
Xiaohua's tearful face showed a smile: "Dad, are you serious? That's great! Xiaohua will never leave mom, dad and grandpa!"
Zhou Jianming sighed deeply, feeling extremely sad.
He subconsciously said, "Oh! What should I do about this?"
Zhou Bin looked at his father and saw him fill the pipe with tobacco, light it, and start smoking.
He smoked and sighed, his heart boiling like a frying pan.
There's really nothing I can do about what happened today!
He only had this one son in his life, and his wife had passed away long ago.
I finally helped my son get married, but after my daughter-in-law gave birth to my granddaughter, she was no longer able to have children.
Although he was very sorry, as his family was living together happily, he gradually stopped taking the matter to heart.
But things don't always go as planned. My son was fine when he suddenly fell seriously ill, and it was a disease that could not be cured.
Seeing his son's condition getting worse day by day, he had no choice but to cry every day.
At this time, his eldest brother Zhou Jianren and eldest sister-in-law Liu Ailing found him. Zhou Jianren said straight to the point: "Jianming! I think you should just give Xiaohua away. A girl can't set up a household, and keeping her will only make her a loss."
When Zhou Jianming heard this, he refused immediately. Xiaohua was so well-behaved and obedient, how could he bear to let her go!
Liu Ailing immediately said with disdain: "You are just a silly old man! Give Xiaohua away, and you will have money. Then you can take the money to a big hospital in the city to see Zhou Bin. Maybe there is still hope. Even if he can't be cured, you can save some money for your retirement, right?"
Zhou Jianming was extremely reluctant, but seeing that his son's life was in danger, he was really a little panicked.
Under the instigation of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he finally nodded in agreement reluctantly.
Today was the day when Xiaohua was agreed to be given away, but unexpectedly, the son who had been in a coma for many days woke up and pushed Liu Ailing to the ground, which completely offended his eldest brother's family.
If my son really can’t be cured, I can’t even afford a coffin for him! What will I do then?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianming felt extremely upset and felt that life would rather die than live.
However, Zhou Bin already knew what his uncle and aunt were thinking. They saw that he had no son and was seriously ill, and might die any day.
Then they set their sights on robbing their home.
Although their family was very poor, they still had an old ox and an old hen that laid eggs, which made them look envious.
Therefore, they have said it countless times, implicitly and implicitly, that after Zhou Bin died, the property could not be given to outsiders.
Every time they said this, they would look at his wife Li Nan with disdain, saying that she was a chicken that didn't lay eggs.
The most hateful thing is that they went around the village spreading the news that Zhou Bin had no son and that their grandson should inherit Zhou Bin’s family property.
Xiaohua will be an outsider sooner or later and will not be qualified to inherit the family property at all.
He was seriously ill at the time, and although he was very angry, he became weaker day by day, which eventually led to irreversible consequences.
Now that he is reborn, can he still allow them to harm his wife and daughter?
Thinking of this, he sat up and said loudly: "Dad, don't worry. I said I'm fine, so I'm fine! They don't need to worry! I also want to say one thing to you, Xiaohua is your granddaughter, and she has the blood of our Zhou family flowing in her body! Why did you just nod and agree!"
Zhou Jianming's face turned red with shame and embarrassment. He covered his face and sobbed, "It's all Dad's fault for being useless and not being able to cure your illness! Dad is sorry for Xiaohua and Xiaonan. Why doesn't Dad die? It would be better if he died!"
