Chapter 607: Chapter 606 Lin Fang Has A Partner Now

Lin Chun wrinkled his brows in distaste and retorted directly, "What can we do about it? He has a house and a retirement pension, how could he starve?"

As the words left his mouth, not only was Lin Chun himself somewhat surprised, but the other members of the Lin Family in the hospital room were also stunned.

No one had expected that the always simple and honest Lin Chun would say such a thing.

Lin Chun pursed his lips tightly and then fell silent.

In fact, the words of his grandmother had deeply moved him.

It seemed that he had never confronted anyone like he had just done.

He always believed that even if the elders did something wrong, they were still elders after all.

As a younger member of the family, what could he do?

But now his thoughts had changed!

So what about being an elder? Could elders rely on their seniority to do whatever they pleased?

Lin Aiguo’s face turned ugly, "You old lady, why say such things!"

He knew Lin Chun’s temperament, and the Lin Chun of the past would never have said such things.

But what had gotten into Lin Chun today? He seemed like a completely different person, to the point where he was almost unrecognizable!

"It’s just that I..." Liu Shuqin was at a loss for words, feeling incredibly wronged.

She felt that there was nothing wrong with what she had said!

Lin Aijia quickly poked Liu Shuqin in the lower back, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.

Then she asked with a raised smile and concern, "Lin Chun! How’s the injury now? Does it still hurt? Have they said when you can be discharged?"

"Much better! I’ll be able to leave the hospital in a few days!"

Lin Aijia also noticed the change in Lin Chun.

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had changed, but she was certain something had.

Only Lin Aiye and Zhang Lanxiang came from their household, and both spoke aptly, "Don’t rush back to work right after being discharged. Rest at home for a while first!"

Lin Dong arrived at the room, carrying a thermos.

He was slightly taken aback to see so many relatives gathered so early in the ward.

But he quickly recovered and greeted them, "Dad! You’re all here!"

Everyone’s attention, which had been on Lin Chun, now shifted to Lin Dong.

Lin Aiguo looked at Lin Dong with burning eyes, "How did Lin Dong do on the exam? Any idea what score he might get?"

If Lin Dong were to be admitted to university, he would be the Lin Family’s first college student!

Afterward, wherever he went, he would bring honor to his family’s name!

"The exam went okay! I’ll know when the results are out," Lin Dong calmly said as he placed the thermos beside the bed before standing to one side.

He was confident about his performance, but he didn’t want to boast in front of these people.

If there was even a slight variance from expectations, he knew his brothers and sisters would not mock him.

But he couldn’t say the same about the others!

Lin Aijia clapped her hands joyfully, "Lin Dong is such a good student! His score definitely won’t be low!"

Yu Changbai quite liked Lin Dong and asked, "When will the results come out?"

"In a few days!"

"You all really! Lin Dong has always been the top of his class! This time he must get into Peking University or Tsinghua University or something," Zhang Lanxiang said with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Why couldn’t her own children be such good students?

Her somewhat displeasing remark immediately changed the atmosphere in the ward.

Lin Aiguo was extremely displeased, his own eldest son would be the first college student in the Lin Family, and he would not allow the second son’s family to speculate like this.

"I’ll be happy no matter which university he gets into! Your family doesn’t even have a high school graduate! By the way, have you got any extra money to spare recently? Before Lin Dong goes off to university, I still need to give the kid some money!"

Seeing Lin Aiguo act this way, Lin Dong suddenly found it quite ironic.

Back then, if it weren’t for his eldest sister, he almost wouldn’t have been able to attend high school.

After his middle school exams were over, Lin Aiguo even shamelessly demanded money from them!

Lin Chun also lowered his gaze, involuntarily thinking about that dream.

Even though his second sister said it was just a dream, he stubbornly believed that it was not a common dream!

Because that dream was too realistic! So realistic that it frightened him!

Liu Shuqin was secretly anxious, she always sided with her second son’s family, but her eldest actually demanded money in front of everyone!

However, she knew very well that at times like these she must not make a peep, or else things would become even more difficult.

Upon hearing Lin Aiguo demand money on the spot, Zhang Lanxiang immediately forced a sheepish smile, "Eldest brother! Look at what you’re doing? How can you just ask for money straightaway! If we had it, wouldn’t we hurry to give it to you! It’s just that we’re strapped for cash right now!"

When they had bought that old house, they had given Lin Aiguo an IOU for five hundred yuan, but had never really planned on paying back a penny.

Lin Aiye’s eyes darted around, and he quickly scolded Zhang Lanxiang, "What kind of talk is that?"

"I just blurted it out without thinking!" Zhang Lanxiang pulled her words back, "Eldest brother! Lin Chun and Lin Dong, please don’t take it to heart! Your second aunt just speaks without thinking!

No matter what, Lin Dong will be a college student eventually, and after graduating he’s bound to get a good job!

If Gangzi and Lin Fang did as well in their studies, I would go so far as to smash the pot to sell iron to let the kid go to school!"

Lin Chun and Lin Dong kept silent, their faces looking upset, neither willing to engage with the old lady.

Lin Aiguo’s face darkened. Now that Zhang Lanxiang had said as much, he couldn’t keep harping on it;

In the end, he was just using the debt to rattle them, not truly in a rush for the money.

It wasn’t long before Lin Qiu came with a lunch box to bring them food.

She was somewhat surprised by the people who had come to visit the hospital room so early but still greeted them politely on the surface.

Lin Dong moved a metal cabinet to the side of the bed, and he started eating with Lin Chun.

Zhang Lanxiang did not see Lin Xia and curiously inquired, "Lin Qiu! Why didn’t your sister come?"

Lin Qiu replied indifferently, "My sister has gone to open the door."

"She’s coming over later, isn’t she?"

"She should be able to come over after she’s done with her busy work! There’s a lot piled up these past few days!"

Zhang Lanxiang tugged at the corner of her mouth, making a point of telling Lin Qiu, "Lin Qiu! Your sister Lin Fang has got a boyfriend! And this time we didn’t have to beg anyone to introduce us!"

She had always been bothered by the fact that several requests she made to Lin Xia had been rejected.

Now that her daughter had finally found a decent boyfriend, she was satisfied and wanted to brag about it to them.

She wanted them to see that her Lin Fang could find a partner without relying on Lin Xia.

Lin Qiu frowned in disgust, knowing that her second aunt was deliberately targeting her sister with her words.

Wasn’t it because she felt her sister didn’t introduce a partner for Lin Fang?

"Is that so! I hope they get along well then," what Lin Qiu left unsaid was, just don’t end up breaking up again!

Zhang Lanxiang, however, went on chatteringly, "Of course they’ll get along well! It’s quite a coincidence! That young man is a neighbor near your dad’s place!"

"Is that so!" Lin Qiu didn’t want to listen to any of this, she was not the least bit curious or concerned about what kind of person Lin Fang’s partner was.

She casually picked up a towel and a basin near the windowsill, "Second aunt! You all stay here, I’ll go wash the washcloths!"

Zhang Lanxiang felt snubbed, "Go ahead!"

Hmph! She could tell that Lin Qiu didn’t want to talk to her.

If she doesn’t want to talk, so be it!

When Lin Xia comes later, she’ll talk to Lin Xia about Lin Fang having a boyfriend...

These past few days, Lin Xia had been so preoccupied with her eldest brother’s issue that she had no mind for business.

Now that her eldest brother had awakened and her brother had finished his exams, she felt relief and started to get busy again.

Lin Xia, carrying a bag of goods from the cosmetics store, arrived at the greenhouse. She saw from a distance, standing outside her stall, two somewhat familiar faces...
