Chapter 584 Extra: Family Members Pass Away One After Another
"Luo Ning, you're back!" Lin Luo Xi saw that Lin Luo Ning was holding a child in her arms, so she hurriedly went forward and took the child from her.
"Second sister, what's going on here?" Lin Luoning asked curiously, seeing everyone in the village gathered around.
"Oh, this is a competition. Every year around this time, the village checks on the villagers' training results."
It's to prevent some people from being lazy, unmotivated, and taking advantage of the situation without doing their job properly.
Once discovered, they will be expelled from the training camp and all benefits for receiving training will be revoked.
Because of Lin Luoxi's demanding requirements, everyone is working very hard, and the training is intense right now.
"Yes, this is a good idea!" Seeing that the children who used to play in the mud now possessed superb martial arts skills, Lin Luoning admired Lin Luoxi's ability to make Wutong Village develop better and better.
"Let's go. Now that you're back, go home and wash up. I'll have the servants prepare a welcome feast for you..."
When Zhao Mingzhu and Li Muqing saw Lin Luoning return, they stopped watching the competition and joined in welcoming Lin Luoning and her in-laws towards Nangong Mobai's residence.
"Luo Ning, you're back!" Wang Yurou, who hadn't come to watch the match, ran out when she heard that Lin Luo Ning was back.
Seeing that Lin Luoning had lost weight, he felt a pang of heartache and went over to hug her.
"Mother, I brought you all gifts this time I came back."
After saying that, he pulled Wang Yurou and headed home, having the servants follow to take the gifts inside.
On New Year's Eve, Lin Wentao returned with Tuoba Yu'er.
Tuoba Yu'er held her two-year-old son, Lin Yunzhi, with a happy expression, while Lin Wentao looked nervous about the mother and son, completely unlike his previous appearance when he was forced to get married.
On New Year's Eve, at Lin Lingtian's house, the entire family needed five tables to fit everyone.
It's rare for everyone to sit together so happily and enjoy their New Year's Eve dinner.
February after the New Year —
"I'm really grateful to have lived this long."
"Your Highness, I must leave before you."
Zhao Yunzheng lay weakly on the bed, looking at Lin Lingtian, Su Xueer, Li Chaoyang, Lin Luoxi, Xie Hanchuan, Lin Wenqian, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning standing in the room, and closed his eyes with a smile.
"Yunzheng!" Lin Lingtian and Li Chaoyang saw Zhao Yunzheng close his eyes, and their eyes were filled with tears.
"Grandpa Zhao, may you rest in peace!" Lin Luoxi stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Yunzheng.
Seeing this, the other people also bowed to Zhao Yunzheng.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Li, don't be sad. Grandpa Zhao is already in his seventies. He passed away peacefully in the Pure Land without any illness or pain. We should be happy for him."
Seeing Lin Lingtian and Li Chaoyang crying uncontrollably, I completely understand their feelings.
The three were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. Although they were not related by blood, they were more like family. Now that they have witnessed Zhao Yunzheng's death, the two of them must be heartbroken and unable to accept it.
Lin Luoxi had someone help the heartbroken Lin Lingtian and Li Chaoyang away, and then sent someone to change Zhao Yunzheng into mourning clothes.
Zhao Yunzheng was a good person. For his funeral, the whole village came to help, and the funeral procession was very long, making a lot of noise as they went up to the mountainside of the highest mountain behind the village.
"Time waits for no one!" Lin Lingtian and Li Chaoyang were too heartbroken for the past three days to keep up with the funeral procession. They could only stand at their doorstep and watch the procession disappear into the distance.
"I never imagined that among the three of us, Old Zhao would be the first to leave." Li Chaoyang felt like he had cried his eyes out over the past three days.
"Old Li, you need to take care of your health!" Lin Lingtian saw Li Chaoyang's body trembling and worried that he might follow Zhao Yunzheng because of excessive grief.
After returning from the funeral, Lin Luoxi became even more concerned about the health of Lin Lingtian and Li Chaoyang.
I have to take the pulse of these two elderly people every day and prescribe some medicine to regulate their condition.
Just as she was paying attention to Lin Lingtian and Li Chaoyang, a year after Zhao Yunzheng passed away, Su Xueer passed away first.
“Children, don’t be sad. I should have left thirteen years ago. I’ve already gained so many more years.”
After carefully looking at everyone in the room, Su Xue'er closed her eyes with a smile.
"Grandma, Grandma..." Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning all burst into tears when they saw Su Xueer close her eyes.
"mother!"
Lin Dayou, who is over fifty years old, saw Su Xueer close her eyes and immediately knelt down, threw himself on Su Xueer, and cried his heart out.
The sound drowned out everyone else in the room; all that could be heard was Lin Dayou's howling.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Lingtian saw Lin Dayou howling so loudly and still taking up his seat, so he slapped him across the face.
Lin Dayou, stunned by the beating, had a sob stuck in his throat and was staring blankly at Lin Lingtian, who was yelling at him, without reacting.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, how could you bear to leave me behind!"
Lin Lingtian, with tears streaming down his face, shook Su Xue'er, whose eyes were already closed. His mournful cries moved everyone present, and everyone burst into tears.
"Luo Xi, Luo Xi, hurry and check on your grandma. Is she just asleep?" Looking at Su Xue'er with her eyes closed peacefully, Lin Lingtian still couldn't believe she was dead.
"Okay!" Lin Luoxi obediently walked up to Su Xue'er and carefully took her pulse.
There was no trace of a pulse under her fingertips, and her body temperature was gradually getting colder. All the symptoms indicated that Su Xue'er was really dead.
"Grandpa, Grandma has really passed away."
Meeting Lin Lingtian's hopeful gaze, Lin Luoxi gently shook her head.
"Waaah, we promised to live and die together, how could you leave me first..."
Receiving an answer that wasn't what he wanted, Lin Lingtian could no longer control himself and burst into tears.
Inside Lin Lingtian's residence, all the maids and servants, upon hearing Lin Lingtian's sorrowful cries, also shed tears.
Although Lin Lingtian and Su Xue'er were a prince and princess, they never put on airs and were kind to their servants. Now that Su Xue'er was dead and Lin Lingtian was crying so sadly, they were also feeling bad.
"Grandpa, please accept my condolences."
"Grandma passed away peacefully at an old age, we should be happy for her." Seeing Lin Lingtian crying so sadly, Lin Luoxi didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only say dryly.
"Luo Xi, you all go out. I'll stay with your grandma for a while. She loved being pretty when she was alive, so I want to give her a beautiful makeover and dress her in her most beautiful clothes myself..."
Lin Lingtian took Su Xue'er's hand, placed it to his lips, and gently kissed it, gazing affectionately at Su Xue'er's face.
