Chapter 211: Consider this as a little compensation from your father!
He didn't know the person well and believed Li Guifen's words! He almost severed the father-son relationship with his eldest son!
The more I think about Master Zhou, the sadder I feel.
His rapid breathing suddenly brought out a mouthful of phlegm, which made it difficult for him to breathe.
“Cough cough cough!! Cough cough cough!!!”
The violent coughing attracted the attention outside.
Especially since Zhou Tingyue had been a soldier for so many years, his ears were more sensitive than anyone else's. He rushed in quickly and happened to see his grandfather's face turning red and purple.
Zhou Runde followed in quickly, and when he saw the old man's expression, he immediately reacted.
"Tingyue, quickly help your grandfather up and let him lie on the bed!"
Zhou Tingyue did as he was told immediately, and Zhou Runde quickly walked to the bed and patted him on the back vigorously.
Fortunately, he coughed up the phlegm quickly.
But the whole person almost passed.
Lying back on the bed, he looked at Zhou Tingyue and Zhou Runde in the room with a weak breath.
He made quite a lot of noise just now, and Zhou Litang and Zhou Liqiang must have heard it, but they were still eating and drinking outside and didn't even come into the house to see him!
If the eldest brother and his son had not been there, he would have probably lost his life today.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Today is New Year's Eve. The eldest brother's family is here, but they left after dinner.
He's going back to his old life again!
Thinking of this, he suddenly grabbed Zhou Runde's hand.
But Zhou Runde already had a grudge against him, and now that he saw that he was fine, he wanted to push his hand away and leave.
But Master Zhou held him tightly and refused to let go.
"Runde, don't, don't go!"
When Zhou Runde raised his head, he saw Old Man Zhou's red eyes and tears flowing down his eyes.
"Dad, you......"
This was the first time he saw his father cry! Even when his mother died before, he had never seen him shed tears!
Now he was crying, and he was a little confused.
But Grandpa Zhou suddenly lowered his head in guilt: "Runde, Dad is sorry for you and your mother! Dad is a bastard, Dad was wrong, Li Guifen is not a good person! It's all Dad's fault, you suffered so much injustice when you were a child! Dad was wrong, Dad was wrong......"
As he spoke, he sobbed sadly.
The hot tears fell on the back of Zhou Runde's hand, like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
After so many years, it was fun to hear him say he was wrong and apologize to herself. Who was sorry for him and for her mother?
His heart was also filled with sorrow.
Looking at Mr. Zhou, who is now almost frail, Zhou Runde's eyes suddenly became red.
Neither of them spoke, yet it seemed as if they had already said thousands of words.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Zhou spoke sadly: "Runde, please take me away. I've had enough of Li Guifen. Every day and night I feel like I'm living in torture. Just consider it as your father begging you. Even if I die, please let me die with dignity. I don't want to die silently like I did just now! Runde, consider it as your father begging you... Okay?"
Zhou Runde understood that if he and Tingyue had not come in just in time, Old Master Zhou might have passed away at that time.
At this time, the laughter of Li Guifen's family could be heard outside the door, and Zhou Litang and others were happily drinking the wine he brought for his father today!
Drinking happily!
No one cares about what kind of torture their father is going through, no one cares how long he can live. Maybe in their hearts, it would be better for him to die as soon as possible so that they don't have to trouble taking care of him. Moreover, this old house can fall into their hands, and even if they sell it, they can get tens of thousands of dollars. With this money, they can just buy a small courtyard, and the remaining money will be enough for them to squander for half a lifetime!
Mr. Zhou followed his gaze and looked towards the door.
How could he not know what those wolf cubs were looking forward to?
They miss his house! They miss this quadrangle with two entrances!
Even the fact that Li Guifen's brothers occupied the row of houses at the back that originally belonged to Zhou Runde was Li Guifen's intention!
But he didn't see clearly that they had been thinking about his property, this courtyard house worth tens of thousands of dollars from the beginning to the end!
This is the ancestral property of their Zhou family!
This is the house passed down from Grandpa Zhou’s generation!
He didn't want to let Li Guifen and those heartless bastards get away with it!
He looked up and said to Zhou Tingyue who was standing beside him, "Tingyue, move a stool and stand on the table. Go and touch the wall 20 centimeters west of the beam. There is a small box there. Take it down!"
Zhou Tingyue glanced at his father and saw Zhou Runde narrow his eyes.
He quickly moved a stool and placed it on the table, then jumped on it and moved westward along the crack in the wall facing the beam!
Just as his grandfather said, he found a small box twenty centimeters west of the beam.
He came down with the small box, put the chair back to its original place, and then handed the things to his father.
After Zhou Runde took it, he did not open it immediately.
He handed the box to Grandpa Zhou, who felt sad when he saw this. He thought, if the other two sons saw this box, wouldn't they be so happy that they go crazy?
But the eldest son handed it to him without even looking at it.
Mr. Zhou didn't answer it, so he motioned for him to open it.
Zhou Runde opened the box as instructed and saw a roll of paper inside.
He took it out and saw that it was the title deed to the house.
"Dad...what are you doing?"
Old Master Zhou nodded and said, "I want to give it to you. After I die, you can deal with this house. You can divide it with your other two brothers or keep it for yourself. It's up to you!"
Zhou Runde was a little hesitant: "Dad, you know I don't care about this at all!"
Old Master Zhou pursed his lips and said, "I know, but I also know that if this house deed falls into the hands of Li Guifen and your other two brothers, you will definitely not get even a cent! Alas... just consider this as a little compensation from Dad!"
"Having come to this point today, I have already seen clearly, and I also understand how much of a jerk I was in the past, and how much injustice I caused you. I know that these things can't compensate you at all! But these are the only valuable things left in my father's life. Besides, this is our Zhou family's ancestral home, and I don't want it all to fall into the hands of Li Guifen and be ruined!"
Zhou Runde raised his eyes, his eyes were red.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Okay, I'll take this deed first!"
Seeing that he agreed, Old Man Zhou smiled instantly, with tears streaming down his face, as if the burden that had been weighing on his heart for many years was finally lifted.
Nodding happily: "Okay! Okay! Okay!!"
He said hello several times.
Zhou Tingyue couldn't help but look at this grandfather who had not been very close to him since childhood.
It seems that it is not so annoying anymore.
After Zhou Runde put the things close to his body, he said, "Dad, then come back with me!!"
