Even if Xue Cong didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, after Xue's father's words just now, he already understood what was going on.
"Lingling, have you decided to buy the small courtyard?"
"Yes." Xue Ling whispered: "That's what my father meant. Since it is the ancestral property of our Xue family, it is sold to me, and it also belongs to our old Xue family. The third uncle will naturally agree. If it were someone else, the third uncle would
How can I feel so good in my heart?"
"Yes." Xue Congdan said with a stern face: "The place passed down by our ancestors, the third uncle converted it into a small courtyard. If it is sold by my cousins, the third uncle will definitely feel that he is ashamed of his ancestors."
It is precisely because of this that the old man will strongly oppose it, even get very angry, and eventually fall ill and faint.
Xue Ling whispered: "Fortunately, money can solve the problem. But if Sanbo is like this, even if he gives money, it may not be..."
Looking at Ah Huan's expression just now and San Bo's frail appearance, it is not difficult to guess that the old man's days are numbered.
"Alas..." Xue Cong sighed lowly and said: "We all have plenty on hand. If money can solve it, it won't be a difficult problem. What I'm most afraid of is that money can't solve it. The most painful thing in life is separation between life and death.
.”
In her heart, Third Uncle is like her old father. With Third Uncle like this, she can no longer walk away.
"I'm going to ask for half a month's leave from Taili tomorrow morning. During this period, I want to spend a lot of time with my third uncle."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly and finally nodded.
"If you can get some work done in Taiwan, then take the opportunity to spend more time with the elderly. It's extremely helpless to have a son who wants to support you but doesn't care for him. You have always been the most filial to my third uncle, and I understand how you feel."
Xue Cong leaned on the chair and let out a tired breath.
"I have been very busy in the past few years and have not been able to take care of my third uncle at all. Fortunately, my wife has stayed in the imperial capital in the past few years and can spend part of his time taking care of the family. When I am not free, he will help me visit my third uncle.
Uncle. But he was a little careless, and the things he bought may not be suitable for use or consumption by Uncle San. Last time he went to several pharmacies and bought a ginseng root. Uncle San refused to accept it, saying that his body was not suitable for eating."
Xue Ling couldn't help laughing and whispered: "Brother-in-law only thinks that if you choose something good and expensive, you can't go wrong. Men are generally careless and not as considerate as girls."
"Your Ayuan is not like that." Xue Cong gestured to Cheng Tianyuan, who was accompanying Xue's father on the other side, and said warmly: "I think he is very considerate of the elderly. The third uncle said that he is a very calm and considerate good family man."
"He belongs to a special situation." Xue Ling chuckled and said, "He can go out of the hall and into the kitchen."
"Thank you!" Xue Cong also smiled, "You are the happiest."
Xue Ling shook his head: "Brother-in-law is not bad either! He goes in and out of the court!"
Xue Cong was amused and whispered: "He is quite worthy of my reputation. I will retire in two or three years, and he can continue to do it. Only when his energy cannot keep up can he retreat behind the scenes. Now.
What we are most concerned about is our daughter who is abroad. Her father wants her to return to China, but she refuses. Recently, the father and daughter are having a quarrel. It is very difficult for me to be caught in the middle."
Xue Ling thought for a while and said: "Sister, let me tell the truth. The culture of a foreign country is different. Even if you retire and go there, it will probably be difficult for you to adapt. After all, we are all natives here, and the language, culture and life are different.
Habits have long been imprinted on this land without any gaps. You are all still strong now and do not need your children to take care of you. But what if you get sick? What will happen when you are old? That is the most important time.
When she needs children, how will she be able to take care of you both when her family and work are abroad? We may not be able to protect ourselves from old age by raising children, but when we are dying, which is the most uncomfortable and lonely moment, we still hope to have our children around to take care of us at that moment. No.
?"
"I..." Xue Cong smiled slightly: "I have thought so too. In fact, I also hope that she will come back. We only have her as a daughter, and we don't want to be too lonely around us. In addition, the development situation in the country is so good now, with her
Her academic qualifications and cultural level are enough to make some contributions to our country. I don’t want her to be rich or wealthy, I just want her to be a useful person to society and contribute a little to the construction of the country. Originally, I was still on her side.
Slowly, I also changed my mind. I can help her buy a big house, but she must return to China for a while first. As long as she feels the charm of the new imperial capital, she will probably stay."
"That's the best thing." Xue Ling said with a smile: "When she comes, if she has any doubts, you can bring her to me. I will take her to my place, maybe it will be of some help to her.
"
"That's great!" Xue Cong said: "I often talk about you to her, saying that you are the most financially savvy person in our Xue family, so she must learn from you."
Xue Ling shook his head: "I'm so flattered."
The two sisters chatted quietly for a while.
At this time, Xue Huan came over with an old doctor with a white beard, nodded to them hastily, and quickly entered the ward.
Father Xue also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cheng Tianyuan.
"Dad, I just need to go in and take a look. Ah Huan may have invited an old doctor to help."
Dad Xue was frightened earlier. After calming down, his hands and feet became weak and weak.
"Okay, then you go in and have a look. You have to tell the doctor that your third uncle didn't eat anything at noon or in the evening."
Cheng Tianyuan responded and hurriedly followed in.
Xue Ling and Xue Cong had already entered the ward and were waiting in the corner.
Two old cousins gathered next to the hospital bed, staring at their old father quietly and nervously.
The ward was very quiet, with a vague tension.
The old doctor checked and listened to the heartbeat, stared at the instruments for a long time, and finally walked out slowly with a sullen face.
Xue Huan hurried out and everyone followed nervously.
The old doctor stood still, looked at Xue Huan, shook his head and sighed.
Xue Huan's eyes were slightly red, and he even asked: "Dean...do you have anything you can do? Try your best!"
The old dean murmured: "The old gentleman has run out of oil, probably in the past two or three days."
ah?!
Everyone was shocked!
I thought that the old man might die soon, but I never thought it would happen so soon!
Two or three days?! Only two or three days left!
Xue Cong shook his body and asked with tears in his eyes: "No - he was still in good spirits a while ago, why... please help me think of a solution! Any medicine can be used, as long as it is effective!"
As long as she can save San Bo, she is willing to spend everything she has! As long as she can save his old man... As long as she can!
The old dean slowly shook his head: "The old man has always been tough, but human life is limited after all. Looking at the world, how many people can be as lucky as the old man? I understand your feelings, but no matter how many methods or good medicines are used, they will be short-lived.
, and may even aggravate the old man’s pain. It’s better to just let nature take its course and let him go home peacefully.”
After saying this, the old man gave Xue Huan a comforting look and walked away.
Both Xue Cong and Xue Ling cried.
The two brothers Xue Sheng squatted down one after another and began to cry softly.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't care less about his wife and hurried to help his old father-in-law.
Father Xue whimpered and cried, shaking his head.
Xue Zhilan's eyes were red, holding her elder brother's hand, and her tears couldn't help but fall down drop by drop.
The corridor of the hospital was very quiet, except for waves of low sobs.
The night was dark and the cold wind was blowing, making people's faces hurt and their hearts hurt.
