Chapter 386: Chapter 385 No Need

Lin Aijia gently tugged at Lin Xia, interrupting her daydreaming, "Lin Xia! Let’s step outside for a moment to talk, shall we?"

Since they were meeting face to face, of course, they had to have a proper chat.

As for the cause and details of her older brother’s accident, her mother’s side was still completely in the dark.

"Okay!" Lin Xia also knew that if she just left like that, Liu Shuqin and the others would definitely not be satisfied, "Xiaoqiu! You stay in the ward with Brother Hongli!" She asked the two of them to stay behind.

Lin Aijia, holding onto Liu Shuqin and leading Lin Aiye and his wife, walked down the corridor toward the outside.

Lin Gang glanced at Lin Xia; he rubbed his nose and followed behind.

Once they were out of the hospital, they gathered by the flowerbed on the side of the courtyard.

"Aijia! What exactly happened to your big brother?" Liu Shuqin had tried to ask several times but was stopped by Lin Aijia each time.

She knew the matter was embarrassing, but she still had to know some details.

It was only then that Lin Aijia thoroughly explained the course of events and details.

Listening, Liu Shuqin clenched her teeth and cursed, using the ugliest and most venomous words to curse Qian Chunli and Yu Ruiming.

"Are those two caught now?"

"The public security came this morning! Capturing them should only be a matter of time!" Lin Aijia still had a lot of faith in the police’s ability to handle the case.

"This is a family disgrace, a real disgrace! Even if your big brother gets better, what face will he have to step outside?" Liu Shuqin wiped away her tears.

Of her three living children, it now seemed like the eldest was the most worrisome.

How many times had they been to the hospital in the past few years?

"All that is not important! As long as my big brother is okay and can recover, that’s all that matters!" Lin Aijia had thought it through clearly.

Only if you are alive can you worry about other things!

If you’re dead, what’s there to fear or be ashamed of?

"That’s true!" Liu Shuqin turned towards Lin Xia, "Lin Xia! The people who did this are from your mother’s family. You must distinguish between those who are close and those who are not!"

Lin Aijia defended Lin Xia, "Mom! You don’t need to say it! I was so panicked yesterday that I didn’t even think to report the case, it was Lin Xia who thought of it and did the reporting!"

She knew very well that when Lin Xia’s temper was up, no one could indulge her.

"Is that so? Well, that’s good! No way should your big brother be wronged! Ah! What mess is this!" Liu Shuqin couldn’t stop cursing again.

Zhang Lanxiang also joined in with a comment here and there.

Lin Xia didn’t like to hear what they were saying; she had other things to deal with and had no time to accompany them.

"Alright! It’s getting late; you should all take the shuttle bus back early! My brother Hongli and Xiaoqiu’s partner are taking turns caring for him here; there’s nothing to worry about!"

Zhang Lanxiang became anxious, "Don’t say that! With your dad in this state, how can we bear to leave him unattended? Let the old lady help with the care, and Lin Gang can also lend a hand!"

Zhang Lanxiang and the others had decided on the way there that, no matter what, they would go to Lin Xia’s house to recognize the place and stay for a night.

Then they could also check out her business affairs; how could they just leave without seeing anything?

"There’s no need! If you want to help, you can do so when my dad is discharged and back at home!" Lin Xia truly didn’t want these people hanging around her.

Lin Aijia knew Lin Xia wasn’t close to them and quietly discussed with Liu Shuqin, "Mom! I don’t think you can really help much by staying here; better you go back.

The ward isn’t big enough to need so many people. Besides, my big brother has Hongli to take care of him!

Just like Lin Xia said, if you’re willing to help, do so when he’s discharged!

With things turned out like this, my big brother definitely can’t stay with that old wretch anymore. He’ll still need someone by his side after he recovers, won’t he? Mom! You see what I mean, right?"

Liu Shuqin had more on her mind; in fact, she didn’t really want to stay in the valley anymore. She had brought it up with Lin Aiguo a few times, but he had never agreed.

Now that things had turned out this way, perhaps she could take the opportunity to care for her eldest son and move down to live at the foot of the mountain.

"That works too! Let’s go back first! We’ll come over again when we have time!"

Lin Aijia, by coaxing and persuading, managed to convince Liu Shuqin.

Lin Aiye and Zhang Lanxiang felt a bit awkward and found it hard to say anything more; they could use the old lady’s silvergrass as an excuse, but they couldn’t use themselves.

Lin Gang wanted to say something more, but Lin Fang gave him a look, and he moved his lips without making a sound.

Lin Aijia took them to eat at a snack bar outside, and then they all took the bus back together.

Lin Xia felt the world had become much quieter. She took the stir-fried dishes she had specially made for Yu Hongli and the others back to the hospital ward.

Yu Hongli was very attentive when taking care of Lin Aiguo.

When Lin Xia returned to the ward, she happened to arrive just as Yu Hongli was using a warm towel to wipe Lin Aiguo’s body, avoiding the wounds, with Xiaoqiu assisting.

After finishing, Yu Hongli wiped the sweat from his forehead and the back of his neck, "Lin Xia! After dinner, you and Xiaoqiu go do whatever you need to do! I’m here!"

He knew that these two younger sisters from his uncle’s family were capable. They could make money by running the store, and not opening the store for business meant losing money.

Lin Xia was truly grateful to Yu Hongli, and she didn’t stand on ceremony with him, "Ok, then! You’re taking on a lot, Brother Hongli! I’ll bring you dinner later in the evening!"

"Sure! If you’re too busy, I can go get food too!" Yu Hongli noticed that other patients’ families were buying food from the cafeteria.

"No need to get food! I’ll bring it!" Lin Xia thought it wouldn’t be right to let someone tire themselves out and then eat poorly.

Lin Yu found an opportunity to buy some food and deliver a meal to Qian Chunli.

In the rush yesterday, she had hidden her mother in the house Chen Gang had rented for her before.

Having paid one year’s rent for that house last autumn, the lease hadn’t yet expired, giving them a place to hide.

Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to find a place for her mother to stay at such short notice.

To make it appear as if no one lived there from the outside, Lin Yu locked the front door from the outside.

Her mother had arrived in a haste yesterday, and Lin Yu hadn’t left her much food.

"Lin Yu, finally, you’re here! Mom’s starved!"

Qian Chunli wolfed down her meal; she truly was starving. Previously, she was too frightened and anxious to think about food.

Once she felt safe here, she became hungry.

She ate all of the food from the night before.

She wanted to go out and buy something to eat, but the door was locked, and she couldn’t get out.

She could only eagerly wait for Lin Yu to bring her food.

"Mom! Eat slowly! Drink some water! Don’t choke!" Seeing her mother like this made Lin Yu truly uncomfortable.

Living a good life without issues, she had to get involved in such matters—for what?

But what was the use of complaining now?

Having eaten almost to her fill, Qian Chunli finally asked about the situation outside.

"How is Lin Aiguo, really? He’s alright, isn’t he?"

Lin Yu let out a light sigh, "He should be fine! I saw Lin Xia opening the store this morning without any major abnormalities!"

If Lin Aiguo had really been in serious trouble, could Lin Xia still run the store to make money?
