Chapter 199 Old Man I Won’t Die (3)
Lin Yu and the old lady were talking when there was a noise coming from the kitchen.
"How do you fry this dish? Don't put so much oil!" Lin Qiang complained.
"If you don't know how to do it, don't give me orders. I'll do it!" Lin Feng shouted.
Lin Yu frowned, stood up and walked to the kitchen door, shouting, "What are you arguing about! You can't even start a quarrel over making a good meal. You don't even know how to be friendly and respectful to your brothers. I think everything you learned when you were young has gone to waste."
Several people fell silent immediately and continued to cook in a hurry.
After a while, the meal was ready. Lin Qiang and others brought the meal to the table and carefully invited Lin Yu and the old lady to come over and eat.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit depressing. Everyone ate in silence, and no one dared to say a word.
"Lin Xiao, if you don't want to eat, feed your mother." Lin Yu got angry when he saw her counting the rice grains in the bowl and eating them one by one. What a character she was.
"Oh." Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks, picked up the bowl and started feeding the old lady.
The others sat up straight.
"Dad, have this. I made this specially for you." Lin Qiang picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Lin Yu, while secretly observing his expression.
Who is Lin Yu? How could they tell anything? Lin Qiang and the others had no idea what was in the old man's mind, so they ate their meal quietly, not knowing what was going on in their heads.
"Lanlan, where is Jiang Peng?" Lin Yu wanted to ask.
"Dad, he was supposed to take a vacation and said he'd be back tomorrow. I just called him and he rushed over overnight."
"Okay, tell him not to worry. When he comes, you can go back with him. I can feel more at ease then. Go back and get some rest. I'll give you a prescription and make you a bowl of medicine to preserve your pregnancy later."
"Okay, Dad, how about I stay for two more days?"
"No, the house is a mess. I need to take care of your mother. My own doctor also told me to rest more, so I can't take care of you. Eat well, and I'll come to see you later."
Lin Lan nodded in agreement.
Lin Kang took a look at the situation, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Dad, I'm so glad you're okay. Look, I have a girlfriend. I can't get married without a house or a car. I'm not young anymore, and I'm the only one in my family who's not married. How about you give me some money to help me buy a house?"
Before Lin Yu could say anything, Lin Feng and Lin Qiang were already unhappy: "Hey little brother, you're asking the old man to subsidize you for a house just by asking, that's too much. When we got married, the old man also contributed a part, and the rest was earned by our own hard work."
"Hey! Big brother, second brother, when did you get married? When did I get married? Times have changed. House prices are so expensive now. I don't have any money. Dad can't just watch me being single."
Lin Qiang and Lin Feng were about to say something when Lin Yu slammed his chopsticks down on the table and said, "You have no money? I can't bear to see you being single? Why do you have no money? You don't have any sense of self? You want to live off your parents? I think you're still asleep. I'm actually very happy that you're single. Otherwise, with your bad behavior, I'm afraid you'll starve your wife to death. And I'm also afraid that you'll be shameless and live off your wife."
"Dad, look at what you said. I'm a freelancer, not a homeless person. As for the money, it's just a matter of how much I earn. How can I let my wife starve to death? Besides, I'm not bad looking, so it's not impossible for me to live off her."
Lin Yu laughed angrily: "Oh, you're the only one who lives off your wife and children, relying on your face? It's a pity that this face was given to you by your parents, the old couple. What else do you have besides this? Do you have any talent, or do you know how to care for others? Or do you just say sweet things and provide emotional value to others? You have none of these, and you have a lot of bad habits. I'm puzzled. You weren't like this when you were a child. What's wrong? Did you mutate?"
Lin Kang became obedient after being scolded and criticized by Lin Yu. For a moment, he began to doubt whether he was really that bad.
"However, if you get married, I will be fair and just. You will get as much as I gave to your brothers and sisters. Don't think about anything else. What I said in the funeral hall was not an angry remark. As long as I am alive, none of you should have any ideas about my property. If you want it, wait until we are gone!"
Everyone at the table was silent, and Jiang Ping kicked Lin Feng several times under the table.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Eat your fill and leave quickly. You have to say whatever you want to say every day, and you have to goad others into talking. Don't you have a mouth?"
Everyone at the table looked at Lin Feng and Jiang Ping, knowing who the old man was talking about. Jiang Ping blushed, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Dad, Lin Feng and I aren't really fighting over the family fortune this time. We're just looking to expand the store. Our cash flow is a bit tight."
Lin Yu sneered and just looked at Jiang Ping without saying a word, which made her feel guilty.
"Second son's wife, find a reliable reason to lie next time."
He looked at the others again: "Alright, the meal is almost over. Those who need to leave should leave. Don't act like you have nails on your buttocks. It's not a good thing. It makes people upset."
After hearing what Lin Yu said, everyone didn't dare to stay any longer and stood up to leave. The old man really didn't give anyone face this time. Before leaving, he didn't forget to clean up the dishes on the table to avoid being scolded again.
This time they came back to attend their father's funeral, but they didn't even let the children come, without asking a single question. This is one of the reasons why the original father was heartbroken. On weekdays, he was really spoiled, but in the end, this is what happened. This is also his own grandfather!
But Lin Yu didn't care, he was not the original body. After everyone left, Lin Yu pushed the old lady outside to bask in the sun, waved his hand and asked Lin Lan to go back and rest, and she didn't have to deal with the dishes.
He took the old lady's pulse and found out that she had hemiplegia caused by acute cerebral infarction. She was almost recovered thanks to the original body's care, but the original body suddenly fell ill and died within a week, which was a huge blow to her. She also met such unfilial sons, so she was paralyzed in bed and couldn't move. The fact that she didn't suffer a cerebral hemorrhage was a sign of the solid foundation laid by the original body.
Lin Yu sat beside her, massaging her leg muscles and right arm. He was also trying to think of something to help the old lady pass the time and cheer her up, so she wouldn't have to bottle everything up. Besides, money still had to be earned; it was a guarantee.
"Old man, don't be angry with the children. They are grown up and have their own families. I can understand that they want to divide the family property. I just didn't expect that they would make a fuss at that time..." As the old lady said this, tears came to her eyes.
Lin Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped the other person's face. He said, "Don't mention them. After Lan Lan leaves, I'll give you a medicinal bath and acupuncture. You'll be well in less than six months. By then, you can catch up with Lan Lan to give birth. I'll take you to see her."
"it is good."
Lao Liu asked quietly: "Host, why don't you just give her a pill to save trouble and effort? Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
"Sixth Brother, have you been fooled by the space-time gate? I took one pill and I'm alive and kicking. Are you planning to have us two old men taken away for slices and research? It's already a miracle that I can come back from the dead. Go have some fun."
"Oh, as one gets older, one's temper gets worse. Humph."
A few days passed peacefully until Jiang Peng finally returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he ran towards Lin Yu and the old lady with a nervous look on his face.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back. Is everything okay at home? Dad, are you really okay? What did the doctor say?" Jiang Peng asked.
Lin Yu nodded: "Everything is fine, I'm fine. I just faked my death. Lanlan has been relatively stable these days."
Jiang Peng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, Dad. I want to spend more time with you when I come back this time."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's okay if you have this intention. You don't have to accompany us. Lanlan is pregnant. You can take her back to recuperate. I can't take care of her here. I will come to see you when I have time. You should accompany her well. It's a rare vacation."
Jiang Peng responded, "Dad, I know."
In the evening, the family sat together for dinner, and the atmosphere was more lively than before.
After everyone fell asleep, Lin Yu leaned his head and thought for a long time. It seemed that short videos were developing quite well in the world, and the biggest problem was the lack of traditional craftsmanship. This made Lin Yu think that it would be a good idea to drag his wife to shoot videos together. Once she could move, she could also feel involved.
