In the study, Grandpa Lin ate while glancing at his son and grandson. Some words had been turning over in his mind over and over again in the past few days. After thinking about them again and again, he felt that he had to bring them up.
Of course, he didn't let the children come back this time to say goodbye to them. But he had to make follow-up arrangements for the consequences of some things.
Why did his wife take such a ruthless action against Zhou Xiaozheng? Perhaps he hadn't been clear about it before, thinking it was just some grudge between the Gu family. But now that the story of poisoning and eradicating the root of the problem has surfaced, many doubts have surfaced.
And the truth follows.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Mr. Lin would laugh out loud just thinking about it.
He had doted on and trusted his whole life, but the person beside him was actually sleeping in the same bed with him but had different dreams from his own, and he was completely unaware of it. He did not understand the meaning of love and hate, but he had heard that the deeper the love, the deeper the hate.
The most ridiculous thing is that the falling flowers are affectionate, but the flowing water is indifferent. All this has left him with no one to resent.
When people get old, they often reminisce. Mr. Lin can't forget the eyes of the girl who smiled brightly every time she saw him, nor can he forget the hands that secretly mended his clothes, and even more so, the eyes that were red and swollen every time she cried when she saw his wounds.
At that time, he was truly happy... As an orphan, he had never enjoyed such care. He told himself that this was his only relative and the woman who would bear his children in the future, so he would treat her well for the rest of his life.
And he really did it, treating her like a pearl and jade, giving her everything he could, doing everything he could to pamper and protect her.
But now, his favorite daughter is not his biological daughter, and his most trusted wife has always had feelings for someone else. It's really ridiculous.
In this situation, he knew the best way to deal with it was to give up his wife instead of looking for someone else. But he still couldn't bear to let her go.
Lin Dingsheng finished his meal, put down his bowl, looked at the absent-minded old man, reached out and nudged him, and said softly, "Grandpa, do you want to go to sleep first?"
When Mr. Lin regained consciousness, he looked at his eldest grandson's concerned gaze and smiled with relief. What else could he not let go of? He was old, and nothing else mattered anymore. It was time to think about his children and grandchildren.
"Dad, you should rest first. We'll discuss this tomorrow when my eldest brother comes back."
Old Master Lin shook his head. Wait for the eldest son to come back? He couldn't let his eldest son make this decision. He was his eldest son, the hope of the family.
"I just said so much, assuming Zhou Jiao helps or Zhou Xiaozheng doesn't take your mother to heart. But these are too idealistic and unrealistic after all."
Lin Aidang nodded. There were many things he couldn't bring himself to say. As the old man had said, it was too unrealistic. If someone did this to him, they would definitely be punished. Unfortunately, it was his mother.
Mr. Lin was silent for a moment, looking at his son and grandchildren, and slowly said, "When there's really no other way, I plan to have your mother sever all ties with you, regardless of life or death."
Lin Aidang exclaimed, "Dad?"
Lin Dingsheng looked at the old man thoughtfully. He knew this was the best approach, rather than holding onto vague hopes and looking for Zhou Jiao. It was also the proper course of action for the head of the household. Finally, his grandfather spoke.
Lin Dingli stared at the old man in a daze. That was his grandmother, his biological grandmother, and she was paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of herself. How could this be possible?
Old Master Lin looked at his son, eldest grandson, and youngest grandson. Looking at their different expressions, he felt very complicated, with too many emotions to express.
Old Master Lin wasn't surprised by his eldest grandson's behavior. This was the third-generation head of the family, a child he had personally nurtured and cultivated. For the sake of the family's interests, decisive action was necessary. This was also what his wife had taught them, and now it was finally being applied to him.
Thinking of this, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Lin Dingsheng glanced at the old man and said, "Grandpa, don't act yet. Let's see if my grandfather can find out something, and then we can think of a solution as a family."
Lin Dingli listened and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I will go find my grandfather now."
Lin Dingsheng reached out and grabbed him, "What time is it now? Why are you in such a hurry? I'll go over later."
"Everyone, sit down." Lin Aidang stopped his two sons and said to the old man, "Dad, didn't you say that my brother-in-law is still protecting my eldest brother today? Let's wait and see what my eldest brother says when he comes back. He must have gone to see my brother-in-law today."
Mr. Lin hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Alright. I'll stay a while, you guys go out."
"Grandpa, let me accompany you."
Old Master Lin shook his head and said, "You should take your brother out and visit your grandfather later. I'll be quiet for a while, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
After hearing this, Lin Aidang looked at the old man's expression, stood up, pulled his two sons out, closed the study door, and pointed outside.
The father and his two sons left the living room and stood in the yard. Lin Aidang said softly, "I'll go find your uncle first. If the old man asks, just say I'm resting."
Lin Dingsheng nodded. He knew his father must be going to talk to his uncle about the old man's idea. If he didn't let him go, he would probably have trouble sleeping tonight.
After sending Lin Aidang out, Lin Dingli saw his elder brother walking into the room and hurriedly followed him, "Brother, let's talk."
"Let's go back to the room. There are too many mosquitoes."
"With so many trees, there must be more mosquitoes. We don't have many days off left. What do you think we should do about this? If we really listen to Grandpa, what will Grandma do?"
Lin Dingsheng glanced around, pulled his hand into the room, and said with a frown, "There are outsiders in the house, so don't say certain things casually. You are so careless all day long, can you be more careful?"
Lin Dingli glanced at him, walked over to the bed, lay down on it, sighed, and said, "I'm really feeling suffocated. Grandpa can say it out loud, which means he's ready."
Lin Dingsheng walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, sat down, and stared at the ground in a daze.
"Brother, you know how sad grandma would be if she knew. If we cut off all ties with her, we might as well kill her. Think about it, she's a paralyzed old woman with no children around. Even if we secretly pay someone to take care of her, who knows if that person will take good care of her..."
Lin Dingsheng looked up at his brother.
"Brother, it's more than that. Have you thought about it? If Grandpa really wants us to sever ties with Grandma, hehe...those families who truly love their daughters will definitely not let us marry them. Think about it, what kind of family can we marry into?"
Lin Dingsheng rolled his eyes at his brother, "You only care about girls, why don't you get married sooner?"
"Don't interrupt me. Let me first tell you about the consequences of this matter. Also, I think..."
There was a figure standing under the eaves of the next house. She widened her eyes in disbelief, took two hurried steps forward, and suddenly stopped.
Through the light from the window, the person standing outside was Jiang Jiangyu, the second daughter-in-law of the Lin family. At this moment, she covered her lips, her eyes rolling around, and then tiptoed away.
