Mid-Levels Farm

In the hospital, Lin Ruofei was lying on the bed with a pale complexion.Lu Xiaozhu was wiping tears on one side, while Lin Yiyu and Lin Yiqi sat beside him.

Lin Yiqi comforted Lu Xiaozhu in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy in her heart: "No wonder I often see my father pressing his head these days, he has been uncomfortable."

Lu Xiaozhu's face was pale and he was confused: "He has been sighing for a long time, and your elder brother wants to change his surname... What should we do now?"

Lin Yiyu remained silent until Lin Yijin knocked on the door and pushed in. Lin Yiyu stood up and stepped forward. Lin Yijin asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yiyu said: "I didn't eat much when I was eating at night. Later, I was alone in the study. My mother was shocked when she went in and saw him lying on the ground. She called an ambulance and did a brain CT. The film came out. Said it wasn't doing well and might have to do further biopsies."

Lin Yijin frowned: "Transfer to another hospital. I'll contact you and find an expert for consultation." After all, this is the nearest hospital that was sent by ambulance, and many testing equipment may not be in place.

"No need to contact..." An old and tired voice sounded, and Lin Ruofei woke up.

Lin Yijin turned her head, Lu Xiaozhu had thrown herself into Lin Ruofei's arms and started crying, her eyes were red and swollen.

Lin Ruofei looked at Lin Yijin: "I have been checked abroad, it is malignant, and I have been receiving conservative treatment. I have been going to Jinghai Hospital for regular check-ups these days when I return to China. I didn't want to tell you that I was afraid that you would worry—I am getting old too. , just worried about Mrs. Lin, worried about you..."

Lu Xiaozhu was already stunned, Lin Yiqi's eyes were red, and tears rolled down: "Dad! Why didn't you say it earlier?"

He usually looks energetic, but now lying on the hospital bed, he is showing his old age.

Lin Yijin was silent, her face was like a cold statue, Lin Ruofei said: "Originally I planned... after the new year, after the company's affairs are arranged, I will have a craniotomy. After all, it is risky, so before the operation, I will arrange the company's affairs , and arrange a will..." He looked at Lu Xiaozhu, who was crying to the point of death, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

He glanced at Lin Yijin again: "I told your grandfather about this before, I hope you will stay at home during this time." After a while, he whispered: "Anyway, I can't hinder you How long has it been?"

Lin Yijin was silent for a long time before whispering, "Okay."

Lin Ruofei did some simple treatment after the infusion. The whole family returned home, and Lin Yijin stayed in her own room. Soon, her grandfather also called: "I heard that your father has entered the hospital? I'll let your uncle go over to see if there is any need." Help."

Lin Yijin said: "I came back from the examination and said that I will go to the hospital for surgery after a year. Now it is treated conservatively. He already knew it."

Mr. Xia was silent for a while and said: "Yes, he called me a while ago, but he didn't let me tell you, so I didn't agree with you changing your surname. Yijin, your father expects a lot from you. Tell me, the company still wants you to inherit, but I also hope that you can take care of your younger siblings. I know that you were hurt by what happened back then, but Yijin, people always grow up. In your eyes, of course we are The concept is conservative, but the heart is the same for your own good."

"These days, he has been in a hurry to sort out the company's shares. He originally wanted to find time to have a good talk with you. You should take up your responsibility and pick Lin up—and then again, if there is anything, wait Let's talk about your father after the operation."

Lin Yijin whispered, "I'm not interested in Lin."

Mr. Xia said: "That's the company founded by your father and your mother. It's fine if you plan to hand it over to someone else. But Lin Yijin, whether it's your father or me, will grow old and die. Your uncle You have your own family, let alone Lin Yiyu, what kind of brotherhood do you have with you, are you sure you can protect your stepbrother for the rest of your life?"

"You don't want anything, you are very noble, will he be moved? After so many years, are you sure he is still the same as before? Are you sure that your life will always be carefree and you will not encounter anything? Hide in the farm , can you really avoid all troubles in the world?"

"What do you protect him with? Without me, without your father, can your poor teaching position allow you and that stepbrother to live comfortably for the rest of your life? Things are impermanent. You couldn't see this when you were young. Me and you Dad has become a villain, now do you plan to live in the dream of your youth for the rest of your life? Or do you hide in an ivory tower, refuse to go out to society, hate me and your father, and be a forever innocent person?"

Lin Yijin closed her eyes: "I know Grandpa."

Mr. Xia took a deep breath: "Your mother is my most beloved daughter, and you are my most beloved grandson. Let me tell you the last word. Inheriting the Lin family is not contradictory to owning that person."

Lin Yijin remained silent for a long time, and then whispered after a while: "Grandpa, I know this truth, but after becoming that kind of person, he will no longer love me."

Mr. Xia was silent, and after a long time he said: "You are exactly the same as your mother. Back then, Lin Ruofei... I objected, because I think Lin Ruofei is essentially the same person as me, but your mother likes him, but he is young. Years are not forever, what is love, I can't understand."

"Think about it for yourself. I'm not forcing you. If I'm not here, I'll leave you enough money for food and clothing. But hand over your mother's things to others for nothing. Even your uncle feels dissatisfied with this tone. What is in your hands—you can’t keep love from someone who has no power.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yijin rubbed her face with her hand and took a deep breath.

On the other side, Lu Xiaozhu came out after washing his face, his eyes were still red and swollen like peaches, Lin Yiqi came out and saw her mother like this, she was annoyed for a while, from finding her father lying in the study to going to the hospital, her mother would do nothing but scream and cry It's no wonder that my father didn't tell his mother about such a serious illness.

Her only achievement in this life is to marry her father and give birth to their siblings. She is nothing but beautiful, but she is also old.

Lin Yiqi remembered the way her father looked at Lin Yijin today.Lin Yijin was so angry that he fainted, but he still preferred the elder brother.Not to mention that the elder brother still has the support of the Xia family. The Lin family will definitely be inherited by the elder brother. It seems impossible to change the surname now. .

Then the three of them, even if the arrangements are made...they are limited. They are nothing more than sharing some bonuses and giving some money every year like other wealthy families...that's all.

She clenched her lips, Lin Yijin... If she knew this, she should have made Lin Yijin and Xuan Xiaodong break up earlier... Now that it's like this, it's too late.

She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Xiaozhu's hand: "Mother, father must want to pass on the Lin family to elder brother."

Lu Xiaozhu was stunned: "Your father has always planned to do so." Seeing her daughter's uneasy face, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, your father will not treat us badly."

Lin Yiqi was almost laughed at by her mother's stupidity: "Mom, I have heart disease and can't have children. My second brother is not married yet, and the three of us don't have any property in our hands. If Dad really... just in case, Do you think big brother will still care about us? Dividends or something, we will spend more money in the future, I am afraid that we will have to rely on others for every penny!"

Lu Xiaozhu patted Lin Yiqi's hand: "Don't think too much, trust your father, he will take good care of us, and it's auspicious, your father told me that there is still great hope for the operation, it will be fine!"

Lin Yiqi was so choked up by her mother that she couldn't speak, she laughed angrily, her father really loves her mother so innocently, she thought for a while and said: "Well, I believe Dad will be able to turn the crisis into safety, but, such a big accident happened to Dad , At the beginning, he also raised Brother Xiaodong for so many years, and now he is in China. Would you call Brother Xiaodong and ask him to come and see Dad? You must be happy to call Brother Xiaodong back."

Lu Xiaozhu hesitated for a while: "Then... I will discuss it with your father..."

Lin Yiqi said: "What are you discussing? Dad will definitely not want to discuss it, but this is etiquette. Brother Xiaodong has caused such a big incident. This time it is also because the eldest brother wants to change his surname and want to be with him. He is not at home for the new year. Dad It’s only when you’re sad that you get sick, so you asked brother Xiaodong to apologize and make amends to ease the relationship, isn’t it right?”

"And we will all depend on the face of the eldest brother in the future. You can kill two birds with one stone by letting Brother Xiaodong come back. The eldest brother will definitely make a difference and accept your favor. Even if you don't think about us, you must also think about it for the second brother." Think about it, he was the one who drove brother Xiaodong away at the beginning, maybe the elder brother held a grudge in his heart, in the future when he takes over the company, wouldn’t it be difficult for the second brother to be in there? Why don’t you take advantage of this time to ease their relationship, and the second brother will return to the company in the future There are disadvantages. It just so happens that you and brother Xiaodong also ease the relationship and talk about the relationship between mother and child."

Lu Xiaozhu was skeptical: "But your father is in such a state now, what if he sees Xiaodong and becomes angry and aggravates his condition?"

Lin Yiqi sneered in her heart, but said softly on her face: "He already wants to pass the company on to his elder brother, so he doesn't care about it, he can't control it anymore, it's better for everyone to be harmonious, isn't it? "

Lu Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment: "Okay - but, I don't have his phone number."

Lin Yiqi said: "Second brother must have, it's too late today, maybe tomorrow, he must be living outside with elder brother, you see elder brother won't come back for Chinese New Year, he must be with him, he must also know that something happened to father, You are his elder, give him a call and ask him to come and see Dad, and give everyone a step down."

She thought for a while and said to Lu Xiaozhu: "There is another thing, I told my father a few days ago, and now that my father is like this again, I still have to tell you, I still have to hurry up about my marriage. "

Lu Xiaozhu was stunned: "What marriage? Is that Xiao Pang?"

Lin Yiqi sneered: "What Xiaopang? Mom, I'm still married to Xiaopang. In the future, my family will not be able to rely on me, and I will not be able to have children. What will happen to me? I have to get married and go to a noble family. That's right for my second brother. It will help the Lin family!"

Lu Xiaozhu was taken aback: "Your body doctor said it's best not to take the risk of getting pregnant, what's the point of getting married and going to a high school?"

Lin Yiqi sneered: "Shouldn't it be enough to find someone who can't have children? Mom, don't think too much about it, just help me. I've already told my father to fight for Sheng Wuyu. You can find a chance to mention it to your father again." This issue."

Lu Xiaozhu's mind has become muddled: "The Sheng family? That's an amazing family, even your father can't talk about this matter, right?"

Lin Yiqi hated that iron could not be made into steel: "Father can't say it, but the Xia family can! Mr. Xia just happened to come from Huanjing, and he will definitely be able to talk to the Sheng family. You have to tell your father that I married the Sheng family. The Lin family also has help, so it's best to ask Mr. Xia to make a connection and pass a message, it's up to us whether we can succeed."

Lu Xiaozhu hesitated, Lin Yiqi took a deep breath: "Mom, we don't have time, now I'm still Chairman Lin's daughter, in the future I will be Chairman Lin's half-sister, get dividends every month, have heart disease , which name do you think is better to find a son-in-law? I can only take advantage of this time. Mr. Xia still counts on his father to give the company to his grandson. Difficult thing."

Lu Xiaozhu felt that he had already received too much information today, and for a moment his mind felt muddled, so he could only vaguely say: "Okay, I will go to the hospital tomorrow to talk to your father... But, should I still talk to you?" Second brother discuss it?"

Lin Yiqi was so annoyed: "Mom! You are so old, can you really decide things by yourself?"

Seeing that her daughter was angry, Lu Xiaozhu quickly said: "Okay, okay, I will call Xiaodong tomorrow, and then I will go to the hospital to see your father and find a chance to talk."

===

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xuan Xiaodong woke up in a daze, and saw Sheng Wuyu smiling at him beside his pillow: "Get up quickly, we will go back after getting a big red envelope for New Year greetings."

Xuan Xiaodong could barely keep his eyes open. Last night they set off fireworks after the New Year’s Eve dinner, and played a poker game to watch the New Year. At one o’clock, they went back to their rooms. In the end, they went back to their rooms to take a shower. Sheng Wuyu insisted on saying that the New Year started anew , and pestered them again, and the two of them messed around until two or three o'clock in the morning before falling asleep.

Xuan Xiaodong sat up and changed his clothes: "I'll go and help in the kitchen. The cook your family hired is not here, and the two sisters-in-law don't seem to cook often, so I'll go and help."

Sheng Wuyu smiled: "The two sister-in-laws? Huh?"

Xuan Xiaodong suddenly realized that he couldn't help following Sheng Wuyu to call the elder sister-in-law Sheng, his second sister-in-law Sheng, blushing slightly, got out of bed to wash his face, rinsed his mouth, and left in a hurry: "I'm going to the kitchen."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Sheng Wuyu smiled slightly, knowing that he had finally passed this test, he got up and slowly dressed himself, and went to wash up after getting on the wheelchair, but when he heard a knock on the door, he raised his voice. :"Come in."

When the door opened, it was Mrs. Sheng. He was a little surprised: "Mom? Why are you here?"

The old lady Sheng came in with two red envelopes and said with a smile: "Your father is out on an urgent business, so let me hand out the red envelopes. I was thinking that the whole family would not be used to sending out the red envelopes, so I took them here first. What about people?"

Sheng Wuyu said: "He was worried about his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law not cooking often, so he went to help in the kitchen."

The old lady Sheng smiled: "He is a good boy, and he looks good, no wonder you are so anxious."

Sheng Wuyu said: "If I don't hurry up, I will be snatched away. Someone is watching, and I will have an operation after a year."

The old lady Sheng looked at him with some pity: "How is your body feeling recently? Can you sleep well?"

Sheng Wuyu's eyes were soft: "It's very comfortable to be with Xuan Xiaodong, I like him." He said to the old lady Sheng sincerely: "Mom, thank you, you are very good to Xiaodong, he should be very happy last night."

The old lady Sheng said: "He's a good boy. Your elder brother and second brother also told me that it's fine if he likes it. Is the date of the operation fixed? Take a good rest these days and don't worry about anything."

Sheng Wuyu nodded, and suddenly heard the phone vibrate, and the old lady Sheng said, "Pick up the phone."

Sheng Wuyu lowered his head and smiled, "It's Xiaodong's cell phone. It was pulled on the bed. It probably fell out of the windbreaker just now." When he picked it up, he saw "Mom" clearly written on it, his eyes changed slightly, After thinking for a while, he picked up: "Hello?"

The voice on the other side was soft and slender: "Xiaodong, I am mother."

Sheng Wuyu was silent for a while, just about to say that Xiaodong was not there, but the other side kept talking: "Xiaodong, your Uncle Lin is sick and hospitalized."

"Hospitalized?" Sheng Wuyu was taken aback, but on the other side he didn't realize that it wasn't his son's voice, but started to sob: "Yeah... the situation is not very good, there is a tumor in my brain, said yes Vicious...Xiaodong, come back and visit your Uncle Lin, after all he has raised you for so many years, mother will send you the address of the ward later."

Sheng Wuyu said lightly: "Okay, send it over."

Lu Xiaozhu cried so sadly that he didn't hear the voice on the other side at all, he just said: "What happened back then, your brother was still young and ignorant, don't take it to heart, I heard from Yiqi that you live with Yijin now Let's go together? Don't take the past to heart. This time Yijin got so angry with his father that most of them fell ill. When you came over, be gentle and don't think about his love for raising you. At least because he is Yijin's biological father. He is seriously ill, you...can you accompany him...Back then...your business, your mother and your younger brothers and sisters had a hard time doing it in the Lin family for a long time, Xiaodong, you promise mom that when you come here, you will be accomplices and admit your mistakes, we are still a family..."

A trace of coldness flashed across Sheng Wuyu's eyes, and his voice was ironic: "A family?"

Lu Xiaozhu sobbed, "Yes...your father is already making a will, and Yijin...should be taking over the company, and we will be a family again..."

Sheng Wuyu almost laughed angrily, Lu Xiaozhu said a few more soft words, and hung up.

Sheng Wuyu came over with his mobile phone, and deleted the call log neatly. Seeing a short message from the other side, he sent both the address and room number of the ward, so he forwarded the short message to his mobile phone, and continued to send Both messages are deleted.

Old Madam Sheng has been listening quietly from the sidelines, watching him do this, and asked, "Is it Xiaodong's mother? Who will you marry again?"

Sheng Wuyu sneered, and briefly told Mrs. Sheng what happened before Xuan Xiaodong. He knew that when he said that he had a boyfriend and would bring home the news of the New Year this year, all the news about Xuan Xiaodong would be sure. He had been checked out by his parents a long time ago, let alone Sheng Leilei who knew the inside story, so he only said a few words: "She still expects him to see Lin Ruofei? Impossible."

The old lady Sheng said: "If he doesn't go, the other party will definitely call again."

Sheng Wuyu said: "I'll arrange for someone to send some gifts and flowers over. Just say that he's not in the country anymore. Anyway, there's still a few days before the operation. If he can't, just go abroad for a few days to relax and avoid this bad thing."

The old lady Sheng shook her head: "You are wrong, son, you did not do this. You will suffer endlessly if you do this, and you will never be able to figure out these shitty things. He can't change his blood. I see his mother , his younger brother and sister can still mess around for many years, you have to solve it once and for all, from the root cause."

Sheng Wuyu humbly asked, "Then how do you say it's done well, Mom?"

The old lady Sheng curled her lips slightly: "Did you know? Among the few children, they are often the least favored children. When they grow up, they become more devoted and filial to their parents. It seems that they are constantly trying to prove to their parents that I am also Well, you love me, I am stronger than them, better and more useful to you, do you regret it?"

Sheng Wuyu said, "I've heard of it."

The old lady Sheng said: "This is the shadow of childhood. It is not so easy to make up for the regrets of the past. To make up for this gap, it is not as simple as simply stripping off, fighting back, and scolding back. Most people will never be able to make up for this. This kind of regret, and fight for the love that belongs to me for my once young and helpless self.”

"Look at Xiaodong, he and his mother must have not been in touch for many years, but there is still her number in his cell phone."

Sheng Wuyu felt a pain in his heart, and the old lady Sheng said: "So, to make up for this regret, you have to make up for the love he didn't get before, doubled, and you have to find a way to make his stepfather and his mother regret it, and make him regret it." In turn, they realized the importance of Xuan Xiaodong, so that family could only keep trying to curry favor with Xuan Xiaodong."

"You just wait, leave this matter to me, and you won't encounter any troubles."

Sheng Wuyu stopped listening: "But I think Xiaodong should be upset when he sees them."

The old lady Sheng shook her head: "Because what he needs is love, what he needs is someone to say to him sincerely, son, I'm sorry for wronging you back then. But he knows that he will never wait."

"It's easy to find the root cause."
