Lin Zhongrong was furious for a moment, and his full momentum made everyone's head buzzing, their legs weak, and their hearts beating fast and chaotically as if they were about to explode.
Lin's mother also collapsed to the ground, her face full of fear.
Lin Zhongrong leaned over her, looking at her, and slowly smiled. "Just because of this, just because of this, you can deceive me, you can harm others? When you sentenced Chen Yu and her unborn child to death, how could you have the nerve to ask me to work for you, for your other sons and grandsons? Yang Yun, your proud family background and advanced education, do you think it's justifiable for you to do something like this?"
Lin's mother's face changed drastically. No matter how angry he was, she had never called her by her full name like this.
"you……"
Lin Zhongrong stood up straight. "I wanted to give you a good life, but you refused and insisted on crying to me every day. Life is not easy for everyone. Well, I'll give you a big yard so you can live together and love each other. You want to help this and that, and now you've been sucked dry and come to me to make trouble. I've tolerated it all because you gave birth to me. But you, you guys, shouldn't have set your sights on my daughter."
Hearing the implication of his words, everyone's scalps tingled. Brother Lin hurriedly interrupted him, as if afraid he would say the rest of the sentence: "Zhongrong, we are all family. We are brothers who grew up together. We were just distracted by this matter. We won't dare to do it again. Besides, the grudges of the older generation have nothing to do with the younger generation. You blame us, and we accept it, but look at how your two nephews have been suppressed by you over the years. They have no chance to make a breakthrough. They are such good children, but they can only follow us and wait for death. Can you please show some mercy and give them a way out?"
He pleaded for mercy, pushing his two sons out, and the emphasis of his words changed. The others looked at him unwillingly, but did not dare to stop him.
Lin Zhongrong looked at the two boys who looked like gourd-shaped rods, one was in his twenties and the other was only seventeen. The older one was so timid that he could hardly hide his resentment, while the younger one was honest and looked dull and cowardly.
Seeing the scrutiny in his eyes, Brother Lin seemed to see hope, and quickly told the two children to call him "Third Uncle" and said, "As long as you give them a chance, I promise to take good care of Mom and the others, and never let them get in your way again."
Hearing this, the others grew even more resentful, but Lin Zhongrong smiled faintly, "Now you understand what's right. It's a shame you only cling to my identities as 'relative,' 'brother,' 'son,' and 'third uncle.' Why haven't you considered that I have another identity?"
His expression gradually faded. Although he didn't move, his figure suddenly seemed to grow taller. "I'm still a husband and a father!"
Brother Lin's expression suddenly changed: "Zhong, Zhongrong..."
"Aren't you all glad that Chen Yu is gone and I don't have a family anymore? Otherwise, I would definitely be estranged from you and all the benefits would have nothing to do with you. I've found it's really like this. Once I have my own little family, everything else has to take a back seat. I have to support my wife and children in the future, and I can't let outsiders get away with even a grain of rice." Lin Zhongrong said, "So, you guys, just wish yourself the best."
After saying this, he walked away, leaving behind a room full of people with gloomy faces.
Although they cursed Lin Zhongrong day and night, they really relied on him for their livelihood. If he refused to support them in the future, and they had no jobs and no skills, perhaps... they would really have to go and shovel excrement.
Lin Wanwan looked at the people in the room who seemed to have lost all their energy, and suddenly chased after them: "Third Uncle!"
But Lin Zhongrong was walking so fast that she could only see the back of a car when she chased him.
She stood there blankly, and suddenly remembered what her mother had repeatedly told her when she was a child.
She said, your third uncle has no children, you should visit him often, call him more often, be sweet-mouthed, and serve him tea and water attentively. As long as your third uncle likes you, you will have endless blessings.
He also said that you and your third uncle's unborn child are only one month apart, and it just so happens that you and your brother are twins, a boy and a girl. This is God's will. If your third uncle can treat you or your brother as a child, or even adopt you, your father and I will not have to worry... You are better, girls are easier to act like a spoiled child, and you look like your third uncle.
He also said, your third aunt loves reading, so you should read more books, especially in front of your third uncle. Oh, it would be great if you could know more about your third aunt's hobbies, and it can also give your younger aunt some reference.
She had been told since she was little that she and her third uncle's child were destined to be together, and that she should strive to become his daughter. She even remembered that when she was four, everyone was celebrating Chinese New Year together, and her third uncle had returned. She had received instructions from her mother and asked for candy from her third uncle. He gave her one, even smiling slightly. Suddenly, the adults started to make a fuss, saying that she should be his daughter, as they looked so much like father and daughter.
She got brave enough and called out "Dad" crisply, but her uncle's face changed drastically and he left without even eating. Not long after, her uncle had a falling out with his family, and then their family fell from heaven to hell. When she went to her uncle again, he looked at her as if he was looking at a reptile on the ground.
But just now, he didn't even look at himself.
She thought of Lin Man's appearance: tall, fair, healthy, pretty, and full of confidence. However, she didn't look as much like her Third Uncle as she did. However, the look in her Third Uncle's eyes was warm and cherishing, as if he was looking at his most important treasure.
Uncle San really doted on his daughter, just as she had imagined, but that doting was not for her.
"Is blood relationship really that important?" Lin Wanwan murmured, but she knew that the real owner had returned, and her dream of many years was finally shattered.
…
In order to express her dissatisfaction with her father, Lin Man did not stay at Lin Zhongrong's house that night, but returned to the guesthouse. When Lin Zhongrong heard Lin Cheng tell him the news, he smiled bitterly and asked carefully, "How is her mood?"
Lin Cheng replied: "When I don't mention you, everything is fine."
If Lin Zhongrong wants to hit someone, can't he be more tactful?
Lin Cheng: Isn’t this tactful enough?
Lin Zhongrong didn't dare to offend anyone, so he went to the office with a sigh. He generally didn't like living in a big house that belonged only to him, and would rather live in the office.
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and hesitated again and again. Finally, he could no longer control his hands and heart, so he got up and made a phone call to Dayan Mountain.
A tall signal tower was built on Dayan Mountain, and a communication machine was installed in the house of the mother and daughter. This ugly-looking machine was placed in the living room for dining and receiving guests, but it was usually answered by Lin Man. But it suddenly rang tonight.
At that time, Chen Yu was writing lesson plans under the lamp. The school in the base had started teaching in May. Chen Yu taught two classes to give people enlightenment. The classes were full of children who were only slightly younger than her daughter, but most of them only knew a few words. Some of them were smart, while others were slow-witted. They had to be taught for a short period of time before they could be divided into specific classes.
Chen Yu's ambition was to become a teacher like her grandfather and father. This wish, unfulfilled before the apocalypse, has now been realized. Chen Yu cherishes this opportunity and hopes to excel in this role. Before the start of school, she revisited her university studies and sought out senior teachers at the training base for advice. She habitually writes lesson plans for the next several days and prepares lessons every day.
The notebooks and pens in her hands were all traded from the north and were very precious. She wrote densely on them. At a glance, the beautiful handwriting, graceful and elegant, covered the entire white paper.
She sat upright, her expression focused and comfortable, her skin brighter than the light, as if it could glow. She wrote a page without stopping, and suddenly stopped. She didn't feel tired at all after writing so many words. When she was a student, her shoulders and fingers would feel sore after writing so many words at once, but now she didn't feel tired at all.
She looked at her delicate white hands with pink nails, feeling a little dazed. Her daughter's ability gave her a new life. She seemed to be alive again from the inside out. Not only did her body become healthier and younger, but her mind became more flexible and her memory was better.
She feels that she is more energetic now than when she was in college, but her mentality is that she will never go back to being young.
At this moment, the communication machine covered with a layer of linen suddenly rang. Chen Yu looked at the time. It was so late, could it be Xiaoman?
She walked over and picked up the phone. There was no sound on the other end for a moment. Chen Yu immediately understood that it was not her daughter.
Since it's not a daughter, it can only be someone else.
She didn't say anything, and neither did the other end. Chen Yu stared at the darkness outside the window, her face expressionless. But after a while, there was still no sound from the other end. She became a little impatient, frowned, and said coldly, "Is there anything you need? If not, I'm hanging up."
"Don't, don't hang up." The man on the other end finally spoke, his voice a little dull.
Chen Yu couldn't tell the other person's emotions for a moment, and she didn't want to figure it out. She didn't understand the meaning of this call at all. Could they still be like they did when they were young, talking on the phone for half an hour or an hour thousands of miles apart, and then foolishly saying good night to each other seven or eight times?
"If it's not related to Xiaoman, there's nothing much to say." Chen Yu said.
"Don't you really want to talk to me?" someone on the other end said in a low voice, and then was silent for a moment, as if brewing something. Chen Yu wondered if he should pretend to sigh deeply, and then reminisce about the past with her full of emotion?
However, the truth was, the man suddenly burst into tears: "My daughter ignored me, and you ignored me too. Woohoo, my heart hurts so much~~"
Chen Yu: “…”
The author has something to say: Chen Yu: Where did this lunatic come from!
And, my father is a cunning old man
Lin Cheng: I haven’t even started dating yet, why is my future father-in-law making such a fuss?
Lin Man (completely confused about the situation): What what?
