Ella smiled and did not answer the question.
The dean didn't mind and continued, "Elder Lin has been here for a long time and has a strange temper. He rarely speaks and likes to talk to people. There are so many people in our nursing home, but I've never seen him at peace with anyone. "
Shen Qi nodded her head in agreement.
Elder Lin did not care whether you were good-looking or not, whether you were rich or not, he just ignored you.
"I heard that Old Lin has a pretty good relationship with his wife." When his wife went, she urged him to take care of the good child, but the child also left after a short while. I was thinking that Elder Lin was blaming himself for having failed to entrust his wife to him. " The dean continued, "However, no one would be willing to do such a thing. That child's health is not good. Even after spending so much money, he still can't be saved.
Hearing the principal nagging about Old Lin's son, Shen Qi could not help but ask: "Then, Old Lin is someone who has done a great deed. After so many years, no one has come to visit him?"
"In the past, there were, however, a few executives who would come over to see him during the New Year's Festival. However, as you can see, old man Lin has such a weird temper. He just doesn't seem to see anyone, and those leaders aren't coming anymore. "In the beginning, it was just a formality. If Elder Lin did not cooperate and others did, then naturally the leader would not come and give them a hard time. That's why no one has come these past few years." The dean replied, "You are the first batch of people who have come to visit him. I even thought that he was going to die of old age here. "
"How is Old Lin's body?" Ella continued.
"Not good. "He's almost ninety, how good can he be?" The dean shook his head like a rattle drum. "Don't just look at him, he's still in high spirits. Actually, he's already long gone from the inside. He hadn't been able to eat anything for days. It's not surprising, you say, that his body is constantly in decline, but his spirit is still fine. Actually, I don't think he's as foolish as he is. He wouldn't have suffered when he left. Isn't it cruel to watch yourself die of old age? "
Seeing that Ella and Shen Qi's faces did not look too good, the Principal immediately said, "Don't misunderstand, it's not that we do not want to treat him. It was that he really didn't want to cooperate. She just kept saying that the heavens' will was here and that she was going to die. So we have no other choice! Besides, he's a pensioner, and since he doesn't have many descendants, the money goes directly to our nursing home account. I can't wait for old man Lin to live a long life, can I? How could I not treat him? It is Elder Lin who is truly not cooperating! "
In order to express that what he said was true, the dean had even taken out the medical records.
Shen Qi flipped through it, Elder Lin had indeed been given several medical examinations and treatments.
The principal's words made sense. Seems like it was Elder Lin's own intention.
After learning about the situation, everyone left the principal's office and headed out together.
Brother Mo held the child and said, "Should we forcefully take him away?"
Ella glanced at him. "You can't use your brain just because you know how to use force?"
Shen Qi slowly said, "Aunt, it seems like Grandpa Lin is truly averse to the world. We will do our best to listen to the will of heaven! I just looked at Grandpa Lin's case, his body function has decreased, this is a trend that everyone has. Moreover, Grandpa Lin's legs could not walk for more than ten years, so I can't use my grandma's method to extend my life. "
Shen Lu interrupted: "The key is that he won't cooperate."
Shen Qi nodded, "Yes. Let's go talk to him again. "
Ella's face was filled with regret, "That's right. I heard a long time ago that my uncle is not well. The dean said that it would probably only be two to three months. With his current medical skills, there was no way for him to extend the time. This dean wasn't lying. He really didn't need to delay his uncle's illness. After all, once his uncle died, that pension would no longer be available here. Thus, the Headmaster wishes that uncle can live a little longer. "
Shen Qi turned her head and said to the others: "Grandpa Lin's temper is weird, you guys wait here. I'll go with my aunt. "
The others nodded.
That was the only way!
The old man had a strange temper. He was drunk to only talk to girls.
Ella supported Shen Qi and continued to look for Elder Lin Xu.
As expected, the moment the two of them walked over, they were met with an awkward silence.
When the old man thought of this stubbornness, no one could pull it back.
Ella knocked on the door and said, "Uncle, what's wrong? Can you open the door? I'm fine standing, Xiao Qi is still pregnant! "
Shen Qi pulled Ella, and Ella waved her hand, then continued to speak to the old man inside the door, "Uncle, you did everything you could to save me and brother back then, I knew you were someone who really liked children. Right now, the child in Xiao Qi, your heart will only ache for him. "
Before he could finish his sentence, the door creaked open.
Shen Qi looked at Ella with admiration. Her aunt was indeed her aunt, she knew how to speak!
The room was dark, and Ella helped Shen Qi enter.
It took him a moment to adjust to the light.
Shen Qi raised her head and saw that the windows were covered with curtains, so the light could not enter.
Old Man Lin Xu just sat alone on his wheelchair, leaning against the wall, not saying a word.
Looking at him, Shen Qi felt guilty.
If he had found Grandpa Lin earlier on, would the result have been different?
Ella pulled Shen Qi's hand and pressed him onto the chair, then said to the old man, "Uncle, we are not forcing you to make a decision. I just want to talk to you, okay? "
Lin Xu looked at Ella, then at Shen Qi, then at Shen Qi's stomach. He did not make a sound, and operated his wheelchair to the side, then pointed at the cup on the table and said, "Pour it yourself."
Ella obediently poured two cups of water. Only then did Elder Lin Xu reveal a satisfied expression.
Shen Qi's eyes moved, she seemed to have gotten something.
Shen Qi opened her mouth and asked: "Grandpa Lin, when did you retire?"
Elder Lin Xu thought for a long time before replying, "It's been a long time. "It's been a long time, I can't remember anymore."
Shen Qi continued to ask: "Then, when you retire, is there anything that you can't do in time?"
Elder Lin thought for a moment. A confused expression flashed across his face, as if he had really thought about the past.
Elder Lin kept thinking back to when Shen Qi and Ella had quietly been waiting.
Waiting and waiting until Shen Qi was about to fall asleep, Elder Lin finally opened his mouth. "If I had left with her that year, would I not have been a burden to others?"
Shen Qi and Ella looked at each other but did not say a word.
After Old Lin said this, the expression on his face receded, returning to its cold indifference, and coldness that seemed to be a thousand miles away. "Why are you asking this?"
Shen Qi smiled and replied: "Because I always thought you were a hero! As a hero, how can you leave so easily? "
