Chapter 640: Chapter 639: Say Farewell Individually

Song Yinran was thoroughly angered, and he pointed at Song Zhiya’s nose as he scolded, "What did you do wrong? Is everything really your fault?"

"I have never been very satisfied with him, but because you liked him, and he liked you too, that’s why I agreed to let you two young people spend time together and see how it goes.

My attitude has been neither supportive nor against it! But it now appears that I must have a very serious talk with you!"

"You think about it, you’re just in love now, and he can do whatever he wants without considering your feelings at all!

When you truly marry him, there will be many more things to face in your life together!

Marriage life is not as simple as you imagine, especially when you have conflicts with his family members!

"He might not take your side, what would you do then?"

Song Zhiya’s tears streamed down her face as she felt very distressed, "Dad! Stop it! I will think it over carefully!"

She actually understood that her father’s words were hitting the nail on the head!

But sometimes, emotions are just like that!

She had invested her feelings, and they weren’t something she could just withdraw at any time.

Song Yinran also understood that he couldn’t push her too hard, and he softened his tone, "Daughter, think it over carefully. I can only say so much!

"Dad always hopes for your happiness, but I hope you find someone who truly loves and cares for you, not someone who you love wholeheartedly while they can’t give you the same amount of love in return..."

A few days later, Lin Xia and the others were set to leave Spring City the next afternoon.

Before leaving, Lin Chun suggested they buy some things and go see Lin Aiguo together.

Of course, Lin Xia wouldn’t object to such a matter; it was both sensibly and morally correct for them to visit!

The four of them stepped out of the car and walked towards Lin Aiguo’s gate. As soon as Lin Chun entered the archway, the big black dog tied up in the courtyard started barking furiously.

Liu Shuqin hurried out from inside the house and, upon seeing it was Lin Xia and the others, couldn’t help but grumble as she looked at the dog, "Your father got a high fever and fell ill the very night he returned home in the rain! He was so anxious and upset that he got big blisters in his mouth!"

The group of them exchanged surprised glances, as none had expected Lin Aiguo to be ill.

Liu Shuqin grabbed Lin Chun’s arm with a reproachful look, "Lin Chun ah! How could you be so heartless to also want to go to your grandfather’s place?

"It’s so much better here at home, the job is not bad, and you could take care of your dad!"

If it wasn’t for the eldest child stopping her from going into the city, she would have long wanted to find Lin Xia and the others to talk properly.

What kind of children are these?

People say to ’raise children for your old age.’ Well, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu could be considered water that has been splashed out; let’s not mention them!

The most honest and simple Lin Chun would actually walk away too! This made her worry on behalf of the eldest!

What will they do when something happens and none of the children are around?"

Lin Chun’s face was tense and he didn’t respond. He really hadn’t thought that Lin Aiguo would be ill! To say there was no turmoil inside him would be a lie!

He gently shook off Liu Shuqin’s hand and strode briskly into the house.

Lin Xia hadn’t seen what state Lin Aiguo was in, and she too said nothing.

In her mind, she thought, who knows the truthfulness of Liu Shuqin’s words—it has to be seen to be believed!

But when they entered the bedroom, they saw that Lin Aiguo was indeed ill!

One could see that not only had Lin Aiguo’s complexion become sallow and thinned, but there were also two large fever blisters on his lips.

Seeing it was Lin Xia and the others, Lin Aiguo spoke with a hoarse voice, "You’ve come! Please sit down!"

Ultimately, Lin Chun’s heart softened. Looking at Lin Aiguo who seemed to have grown haggard in just a few days, he asked with concern, "Dad! Are you alright?"

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong were also a bit moved, but they just stood beside the stove without saying a word.

"It’s nothing! Just got a bit of a fever after getting caught in the rain that day!" Lin Aiguo had come to terms with quite a bit these past few days and was no longer as furious as he was that day.

Lin Chun’s maternal grandfather’s family were capable people, and having his eldest son there, he was sure to do well. Who knows, he might even become a small leader or something in the future!

Not like staying in their city where, no matter how well you work in the unit, you can’t climb very high.

But, to say there wasn’t a bit of heartache and sorrow, that would be impossible!

After all, he had always thought that it would be Lin Chun who would take care of him in his old age, and be by his side to look after him!

All the children, all of a sudden, one by one they left, leaving none behind, and it really wasn’t easy for him to bear!

Seeing Lin Aiguo talking like this, Liu Shuqin was really anxious on the side, she blurted out extremely quickly, "How can it just be a bit of a fever! That night, your dad was delirious from the fever! Almost didn’t recognise anyone!

Lin Chun, ah, you’ve seen it too, your dad’s health is getting worse with each passing day, who knows when he’ll just...

I’ve also reached this age, living one day less with each passing day. Can’t you just stay in the city..."

Lin Aiguo interrupted Liu Shuqin unhappily, "What’s with all that talk! Aren’t I better now? Why did you all come over today? Is this a departure?"

He had listened to Lin Chun that day, they were planning to reach the provincial capital before Lin Dong started school.

As the day for school to begin was drawing near, he figured they might be leaving.

Liu Shuqin closed her mouth in frustration. She understood what her son meant. Wasn’t it just because they were afraid that if things became strained between them, Lin Chun would stop looking after him?

But she felt like it was suffocating not to say certain things. How could children be so heartless and cold?

"Hmm! We’re on the train tomorrow afternoon! Came by to have a look and to say goodbye!" Lin Chun pushed the things he had placed on the edge of the kang towards Lin Aiguo’s feet, "Dad! These are some nutritional supplements and milk powder cans we bought for you!

Eat these for now! Once we get settled there, if there’s anything good, I’ll mail it to you!"

Towards the end, Lin Chun’s nose felt sour, and his throat choked up.

Seeing Lin Chun struggle to continue, Lin Aiguo also felt warmth in his eye sockets, "Why all this fuss! I lack nothing at home! Just focus on your work there, but be shrewd about things and don’t be too naive!"

He had nothing particular to instruct the other three, but he was a bit worried about Lin Chun, this lad!

Lin Chun silently nodded, listening. Seeing his father like this, his heart ached!

But once his decision was made, it wasn’t something that could be easily changed!

"Dad! I’ve left you the phone number for my maternal grandpa’s house. If anything happens in the future, you can call and contact me!

If I get sick or something happens and I can manage to come back, I will..." Lin Chun sincerely instructed.

As the eldest, it was up to him to take care of Lin Aiguo in his old age! He couldn’t add to his siblings’ burdens!

Lin Xia and the others sat by, not saying much. During the half-day spent at Lin Aiguo’s home, it was mostly him and Lin Chun who talked.

Lin Aiguo wanted to keep them for dinner, but Lin Chun, saying they still had things to do, stood up to leave.

Liu Shuqin and Lin Aiguo sent them off all the way, and only after they could no longer see them did Liu Shuqin pat her thigh in vexation and look at Lin Aiguo complaining,

"Old man! Why didn’t you try to keep Lin Chun a bit longer? Just let him go like that! Who’s going to take care of you if you get sick or have an accident?"

Lin Aiguo waved his hand weakly, "Enough, I’ll take care of myself!"

On the way back, Lin Chun was downcast, Lin Qiu and Lin Dong were unusually silent.

Lin Xia looked out of the window at the fleeting scenery with a serene expression, her thoughts inscrutable.

It was only when they got off the train and started walking home that Lin Chun couldn’t help but speak up, "Actually, seeing dad like that, my heart really isn’t at ease!

But I’m glad he can come to terms with it. I thought going there, I’d be cursed out and driven away!"

This was what he had initially expected, but reality turned out to be completely different.

One could say that Lin Aiguo’s change of heart took him by surprise!
