Chapter 578: Chapter 395: Neither Side Gives Way_2
Later it was confiscated, and we moved into a small house, but we still left two rooms for you. Of course, now we have moved back to our family’s old mansion, your half is still cleaned every day, with no one residing in it.
I’m saying this to let you and your sister-in-law know that although we dared not contact you openly, the Lin family has never forgotten about you, and we never thought about taking advantage of you.
When Grandpa and Grandma were alive, they often shed tears for your uncle and aunt. If it weren’t for fear of causing them trouble, we would have straightforwardly come to see them long ago.
Now that you have come back, you must absolutely stay at home. In this way, our grandparents in heaven will also be at ease, and your uncle and aunt will definitely be sincerely happy."
Lin Shenghong’s wife, Ye Li, quickly took over the conversation: "Zhiliang, we have heard everything about you in Dalin Village from Chuxia, rest assured, our family truly wants you to come back."
Jiang Xinwan also quickly expressed her stance: "Exactly, this is something we have been looking forward to for many years. Your elder brother is a bit complicated, but he never plays tricks on his family, you can be assured."
"Uncle, besides Little Aunt, all our family members are here, and you absolutely don’t have to worry about returning and still having some messy relatives that might make you unhappy," Lin Wenbin’s emotions had also stabilized, and he followed the elders in persuading.
The sincerity of the Lin family members, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan could completely feel, but moving to Capital City was truly not in their plans.
Staying close to their daughter was what they wanted.
After organizing his thoughts, Lin Baohe earnestly looked at the Lin family members: "Uncle, Eldest Uncle’s Wife, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, I feel your sincerity, I understand, you really care about me, you really want me to come back.
But, Yulan and I grew up in the countryside, we are attached to this land. Dalin Village may not be my root anymore, but Xiaolin Village is Yulan’s root.
There are many villagers in Dalin Village who genuinely treat us well, we have our relatives in Xiaolin Village, staying here for a few days each year, meeting old friends, visiting elders, and spending the rest of our time by Chuxia’s side—this is the life we want."
"Baohe, do you not want to be close with us?" Lin Shenghong looked at him disappointedly, "You are a descendant of the Lin family, how can you not come back?"
Lin Baohe glanced at his wife and daughter, then turned with a resolute expression to Grandpa Lin: "Each year, we still visit you and Eldest Uncle’s Wife. As for the property, we don’t want it, Eldest Uncle’s Wife can take care of it."
"You are too stubborn, child." Lin Shenghong thought for a moment and then said, "Well, I won’t force you. I’ll have someone keep an eye on that house for you, whether you go to live there or not, it is still yours.
Before the elderly passed away, they made clear divisions of everything at home; when the property was returned, all those were also returned. I have been looking after them all these years. I’ll let you review them later; for now, let’s keep them here until you are able to manage them yourself, then I will hand them over to you."
Having the same last name, yet the character and conduct of the two Lin families were vastly different. Having such righteous relatives made Lin Baohe feel especially warm inside, and it also made him feel that the hardships he had endured were nothing serious.
But to firmly accept that property, which originally belonged to his biological parents, was really something he couldn’t bring himself to do. He always felt as if acknowledging his relatives was for taking advantage. He continued to decline: "Uncle, if you want me to return to the Lin family, then don’t force me to accept these things, otherwise, I really wouldn’t dare to go."
"Zhiliang, by doing this, how am I supposed to face your grandparents and your parents?"
"..."
Knowing Lin Baohe’s stubbornness and also fearing that continuing this way would make everyone uncomfortable, Luo Gangshun, an outsider, quickly stepped forward to mediate: "Uncle, Baohe is just this stubborn. I think you shouldn’t rush this matter. Some things can be discussed slowly. Now, the gathering of relatives is what’s most important, don’t you agree?"
By this time, Grandpa Lin had also realized he was too eager. The moment he saw Lin Baohe, he was 100% certain that this was indeed his nephew.
So his first reaction was to return what belonged to him, to make sure he knew that the Lin family had never forgotten him.
Or perhaps, subconsciously, he was worried that not being able to openly look for his nephew for so many years might make the nephew skeptical, so he thought of using this approach to prove the truthfulness of his words.
The more the other party declined, the more he felt the other party distrusted them, the more he wanted to force the other party to take over the estate... He was truly fixated; after all, why rush when dealing with family?
Having realized all this, Grandpa Lin smiled and held Lin Baohe’s hand: "Zhiliang, take good care of yourself. Once you are discharged, let’s first relocate your parents’ graves to the Lin family ancestral grave, so they can reunite with your grandparents.
As for the rest, let’s take it slow. I won’t pressure you. Maybe Chuxia will also follow Xiao Zhou to Capital City in the future. By that time, whether you like it or not, you’ll have to go, right?"
"Okay, I’ll listen to Uncle." Lin Baohe readily nodded; he wasn’t one to make a fuss. For his daughter’s sake, accommodating a bit wasn’t too much to ask—having a strong backing at her husband’s family would indeed make her more esteemed.
Seeing that his nephew was no longer resisting, Grandpa Lin also felt happy: "Tomorrow, after being discharged, go visit Little Aunt’s home first. Back then, your parents came here seeking her help. Over the years, the old lady has always had this knot in her heart. Seeing you might just untie that knot." (To be continued.
