The old lady looked at Lin Jianglai with a blank yet obedient expression.
Lin Jianglai pursed his lips and stared intently at Aunt Chi for a long time, making the old lady tremble.
Even the most naive old lady would start to realize something at this point.
She gritted her teeth, pressed one trembling hand against the other, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened! Why is Lan Niang asking this!"
She understands her girl!
This child has never been able to lie since he was little; he's incredibly stubborn!
Especially something as important as this?
So, the most likely explanation is that this old man is hiding something from me!
"Why would she ask me that? How would I know? That brat, I told you she's an ingrate. Just because I don't like her, her father doesn't even want to acknowledge her anymore. What a heartless wretch..."
"Do you really believe what that old monk said? Even if I'm not your biological child, you still raised me. More than ten years of affection, and it's not worth a single sentence from that old monk?"
I always thought that you opposed my relationship with Chi Yongcai because you were worried that if I married someone from too far away, you wouldn't be able to stand up for me if I was bullied.
But in the end, it turned out that it was just because the old monk said that if I left the town, it would have a bad impact on the Lin family.
"Just for that one sentence and that thousand taels of silver betrothal gift, you were willing to drug me and send me to the bed of a man ten years older than me?!!"
Chi Tang was extremely shocked.
So this is the truth!
No wonder Father wouldn't tell!
This is not just an embarrassing situation, it's a deep wound in my mother's heart.
What young girl could bear being treated like this by her own father?
"What, what silver? What old monk? What drugging? What are you talking about?" The old lady's eyes reddened, and she couldn't sit still any longer. She sat down on the edge of the bed, furious.
The old woman suddenly pounded the bed frame and roared angrily, "So many things have happened to my daughter, why don't I, as her mother, know anything about it? Why!"
What is all this about?
What's this about biological or non-biological children?
Why didn't she know any of this?
Aunt Chi turned her head away, trying hard to control her emotions and not wanting to get too excited, lest she feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Her health is very important now because she has so many children to take care of.
Chi Tang secretly took her mother's pulse, then pretended to want a hug and quietly pressed a few acupoints on her mother's body.
Before long, Aunt Chi felt less tightness in her chest and felt much better.
She knew that her daughter was helping her.
She told herself firmly: Lin Lanniang, don't be angry, it's not worth it! You can't be too angry for your daughter's sake.
"Lin Jianglai! What exactly is going on? Are you still going to lie to me?" The old lady was already vaguely guessing what was going on.
In the more than twenty years since her daughter left home, she has mentioned countless times that she wanted to go see her daughter, but the old man would never allow it.
She was puzzled at the time. Why did things have to escalate to this point between a biological father and daughter?
So... it really is possible that he wasn't their biological child?
But how could he not be their biological child?
You deserve to die!
Lin Jianglai cursed at Aunt Chi through gritted teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging with anger.
He didn't want his wife to know.
He knew his wife; she was timid and prone to overthinking.
He wanted to take this to his grave, but now, on his deathbed, this brat has revealed it!
Things have reached their worst point.
He only has a few days left to live, so who will comfort and console his wife?
"Mother, I'm so sorry to let you know such a cruel truth, but I think you have the right to know. You probably don't want to be a fool who's been deceived forever, just like me, right?"
Aunt Chi knew, of course, that this matter would cause some harm to the old lady.
Can……
Is a white lie always more accurate than the cruel truth?
Shouldn't the old lady know the truth?
"Speak, tell me."
The old lady stopped looking at Lin Jiang and stared at Aunt Chi instead.
Of course she needed to know what was going on.
Aunt Chi felt a little reluctant, but she still told the old lady everything she knew.
"...In my heart, you are my own mother. But he...I am really unwilling to accept this, and I just want to ask, even if you are not my biological mother, didn't you have even the slightest bit of affection for me during the more than ten years you raised me?"
Aunt Chi's lips were pale.
Humans are emotional beings.
Why is it that this old man has been able to remain completely devoid of emotion for over a decade?
The old woman turned her head, her eyes red, and asked, "My daughter, my own daughter, is she really, really dead?"
She still couldn't believe it.
His own biological daughter has been dead for forty years!
"...Yes, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it, so I..."
"You! Fine, fine!"
The old lady trembled with anger.
Her biological daughter has been dead for forty years, but she has never offered incense to her!
She, as a mother, she, as a mother...
Enraged to the extreme, the old lady felt as if fireworks were exploding before her eyes, and then she was plunged into darkness!
"mother!"
"Old woman!"
Chi Tang immediately shouted outside, "Call a doctor!"
Then he ran over on his calves and secretly slipped a few quick-acting heart pills into the old lady's mouth.
This is because I'm so angry.
Fortunately, Lin Jianglai's health was failing, so Lin Huainan specially hired a doctor to stay at home, just in case the old man wouldn't be able to see his children and grandchildren one last time.
