Chapter 128 Mortgage
Seeing that he remained silent, Tu Yao quietly put away her phone, changed to a close-up photo, and sent it over.
Tu Chaoxi's face filled the entire screen.
For Lin Yue, it was an overwhelming, instinctive sense of intimidation.
Lin Yue: ...
Looking at the face in front of him, the boy almost involuntarily opened his mouth.
"I……"
Tu Yao slowly moved closer.
Lin Yue rubbed his face helplessly and said in a muffled voice, "...Yes, the recovery period for treating my leg is too long, and I have to take care of my grandmother."
"As you can see, Grandma's health is getting worse and she can't be separated from her.
I don't feel comfortable hiring a caregiver.
Tu Yao nodded and murmured, "...That's how it is."
I don't trust anyone else to take care of me; I just want to take care of myself.
She then asked, "Then why didn't you tell Grandma about recognizing your older brothers?"
Lin Yue's dark face froze instantly, and he opened his mouth: "...You knew about this too?"
Tu Yao nodded.
Lin Yue: ...
"I……"
Tu Yao: "Is Grandma afraid that she'll make you go back to your older brothers, but don't you want to leave Grandma?"
The boy was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"……yes."
If Grandma hadn't gotten sick, even if she knew he had relatives now, she might not have been willing to let him leave.
But precisely because I'm sick, I'll entrust as many people as I can to help.
After Lin Yue finished speaking, Tu Yao silently put away her phone and exited the photo gallery, where a series of photos of Tu Chaoxi could be seen.
Lin Yue: ...
Lin Yue couldn't hold back any longer and immediately stretched out his somewhat rough hands to rub her face hard.
Tu Yao cried out in surprise, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Young man!"
Lin Yue deflated, loosened his grip, gently rubbed the area a couple of times, then hunched his thin back and fell silent.
Tu Yao: "...Are there other things you're hiding from us?"
Lin Yue's eyes flickered slightly: "...No."
Tu Yao blinked: "Can I tell you about what happened today, brother?"
Lin Yue turned his head and said in a muffled voice, "If you dare to say anything, it's either you or me who dies!"
"Either we die together!"
Tu Yao felt a little wronged: "You can't even hold your tongue, yet you're warning me..."
Lin Yue immediately glared at him with a stern face!
Tu Yao: ...
Tu Yao rubbed her face and whispered, "...I understand."
"Anyway, any of you older brothers can tell me what to do!"
Having barely managed to turn the tide, Lin Yue's expression was less gloomy than before.
He stood up: "...Alright, you can go back now."
"oh……"
Thinking of something, Lin Yue turned her head again: "How did you know so many things just now?"
Call for help to clear obstacles in advance and make room for rescue equipment.
The word "calm" might not even be enough to describe it; it's more like...skilled.
Tu Yao was taken aback, met his dark gaze, and slowly said, "...Because I'm smart?"
The boy's face darkened again, and he waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, let's go."
Tu Yao followed them.
Lin Yue: ?
Tu Yao looked completely innocent: "I haven't picked up my homework yet..."
Lin Yue: ...
Entering the ward, Tu Yao silently picked up her backpack, glanced at the elderly man on the bed, and then turned to leave.
Not long after Tu Yao left, Lin Yue's phone rang.
He answered the phone and, without waiting for the other person to speak, said directly, "Let's meet at the hospital tomorrow morning."
...
As she walked out of the hospital, Tu Yao looked up at the sky and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
...Little Daddy, I seem to be getting luckier and luckier.
She has never been a very lucky person. When she was a child, the candy that the headmistress gave her would disappear within two minutes.
Even though I'm very careful and attentive, I still tend to forget things.
I was walking along when I bumped into a telephone pole and ended up here.
But in the two years since I came here, my luck has been better than in the previous sixteen years.
Everyone I met was a good person.
It just so happened that it coincided with Mr. Cormier's stage accident.
It would also be just in time to save Grandma Lin.
...
Back home, Nan Ke looked at his sister's flushed face with a puzzled expression.
She asked worriedly, "Is it an allergic reaction?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "The young man pinched me."
Nan Ke: ?
"You two got into a fight?"
Tu Yao, dejected, blurted out, "He hit me unilaterally."
Nan Ke: ? ?
Nan Ke quickly found a tube of ointment, carefully applied it, and frowned, saying, "What happened? I'll talk to him about it in a bit."
"So what are you planning to do tomorrow? How about going to class with your second brother?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "I'll ask the young man to do my homework."
Nan Ke: ...
Tu Yao, harboring a bellyful of secrets, glanced around and asked, "Second Brother, hasn't Eldest Brother returned yet?"
Nan Ke snapped out of her reverie, "Not yet, the contract is about to expire, so I should be quite busy lately."
Tu Yao said "Oh," and that was good, that was good, so that she wouldn't be able to keep it a secret and would immediately betray Lin Yue.
The next morning, under Nan Ke's puzzled gaze, Tu Yao, carrying two exercise books and a small bag, went to find Lin Yue again.
At the hospital, Grandma Lin was still in a daze, while Lin Yue looked exhausted and curled up on the cot to sleep.
Tu Yao quietly sat down in her usual seat and silently took out her practice questions to work on.
Suddenly, the phone that was lying to the side lit up.
A string of words appeared on the screen.
—I have arrived.
Lin Yue was awakened by the sound, but he wasn't surprised to see Tu Yao.
He glanced at his phone and instinctively covered the screen.
The boy asked in a low voice, "Didn't you let something slip yesterday?"
Tu Yao slowly shifted her gaze from the screen and shook her head: "...No."
Lin Yue nodded in relief.
After getting up, dragging her tired body, she took a file folder from her bag and left the ward.
Behind him, Tu Yao quietly watched his retreating figure.
A moment later, he stood up with his practice questions in his arms and followed them out.
At the hospital entrance, Lin Yue handed the file bag to a man wearing a baseball cap.
The man checked the contents of the file folder and nodded.
“I’ve transferred the money to you, but as you know, it’s an old house, and this is all I can give you.”
Lin Yue's throat tightened slightly: "It's okay, I'm just using it as collateral. I'll redeem it in a month at most."
The man nodded, not taking it seriously.
After all, everyone says that.
But then it was the same: a month became a year, a year became two years, and two years became ten years.
"You brat! What are you doing! This house belongs to my mother, what right do you have to mortgage it!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yue's eyes instantly sharpened!
Looking up, the person who came was Lin Qiuping. He looked much more disheveled than before, and he had also lost a lot of weight!
Still dressed in a suit and tie, carrying a bouquet of flowers, he strode over in a fit of rage!
"You little beast! You always keep quiet, but you actually dared to set your sights on my house!"
He raised his hand to push him away!
The next second, "bang!"
"ah!"
Two thick notebooks came flying at me!
Lin Qiuping instantly recoiled in pain and pulled his hand back!
Lin Yue was startled and subconsciously turned his head, only to see Tu Yao rushing over!
Before I could react, she grabbed me and pulled me behind her!
