Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 570 - 390: What’s the Matter?_2

"Of course," Lin Baohai said with a face full of pride, "I’m the most promising. If not me, who else would they dote on?"

"They dote on you the most, yet you still plot against them. If you encounter better opportunities in the future, would you abandon me?" Yang Aihua asked the question that she most wanted to ask.

"What nonsense are you thinking of?" Lin Baohai glared at her, "Our son is already taking a wife, and you’re saying these things. Don’t you think there is something wrong with your head?"

"I..." Yang Aihua stared blankly at the gold she held in her hands, her eyes filled with confusion, "I just hope you remember what you have said. I’ll keep these things, and if one day you really do something to wrong me, don’t think about getting any of them back!"

"Crazy woman!" Lin Baohai snorted coldly, shed his clothes and crawled into bed, no longer paying attention to his wife who was quietly shedding tears.

Yang Aihua turned the items in her hands over and over, her hesitance growing stronger...

Her marriage to Lin Baohai was partly due to matchmaking and partly due to free love, because they had been classmates from elementary school to junior high and had harbored a vague fondness for each other at school.

Later, it was Lin Baohai who had his parents find a matchmaker to propose to her family. She readily agreed and three months later she became Lin Baohai’s wife, and the following year, Chuchun and Chuqiu were born.

Later, she became pregnant again but at two months, she had an argument with Lin Baohai and after being pushed by him, she lost the child.

After that, her belly remained still and silent. Actually, she really really wanted a daughter. Over the years, whenever she thought about the child that had been lost, her heart ached unbearably. Naturally, she harbored resentment towards Lin Baohai.

That’s the way people are, once there’s a wedge and a crack forms, it becomes truly impossible to return to the way things were before. Even after Lin Baohai apologized to her and tended to her with care, it was difficult for her to truly let go.

Over these days, she had seen all the scheming of the old master, Old Lady Lin, and her husband against the second elder brother’s family. The old couple knew the second elder brother was not their biological son, but Lin Baohai did not.

Although Lin Baohai’s feelings for his second elder brother couldn’t be compared with his feelings for her, this sufficiently demonstrated that Lin Baohai only loved himself the most.

The characters of the two children were completely different. She didn’t dare to imagine what her situation would be like when she got old one day.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became...

Early in the morning, Chuchun came back to report that Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan had gone to the grave. As Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin got down from the kang and put on their shoes, Yang Aihua made up her mind.

...

One could imagine what a grave that had not been visited for over thirty years would look like—a thick layer of overgrown grass and the mound nearly flattened.

Thinking back to how they passed by this grave during every past visit without ever stopping to add a handful of soil, Lin Baohe’s tears uncontrollably streamed down.

Zhao Yulan was also in low spirits.

The couple silently cleared the weeds from the grave with their bare hands. After they had pulled them all out, only a small mound about the height of two palms above ground level remained.

"Father, Mother, your son has been unfilial. Only today did I find out you’re resting here. Please be assured, from now on I will not let you lie here lonely without care.

Your daughter-in-law Yulan has a good temper and treats me well. Your granddaughter Chuxia is an understanding and promising child, already married.

If it weren’t for the rush to ask for leave, she would have come to visit you too. Father, Mother, when the New Year comes, I will definitely bring her here to kowtow to you.

If you have spirits in heaven, please bless Chuxia to find your family soon, so you can return to your roots. But even if we can’t find them, you still have a son..."

Listening to his endless chatter, Zhao Yulan knelt beside him, adding soil and joining in the babble, recounting the events of the years to the elderly couple.

Right when the grave was about to be mounded up, Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin arrived. Without a glance, the elderly couple "plop" knelt down in front of the grave.

Old Lady Lin wailed like in a play, "Big brother, sister-in-law, you must forgive us. We didn’t refrain from visiting you because we’re ungrateful, but because we were afraid that others would know that Baohe isn’t our own.

I’ve been narrow-minded. I was afraid that if he knew he wasn’t our biological child, he might not be close to us. Originally, we thought to tell him the truth when he got married.

But when it came to him taking a wife, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to say it. The longer we delayed, the harder it became to speak. Later, we thought it might be better not to tell him at all and let him consider us as his real parents and not worry about anything.

Who would have expected that this child would eventually find out? Big brother, sister-in-law, this child has such a deep misunderstanding about us. He says we don’t care for him. How could we not care for him, having raised him from the time he was an infant?

You both died trying to save our child. How could we not treat him well? But there are four children at home of different ages, and when seen in the eyes and felt in the heart, doesn’t this create disparity?

When he got married, we divided the old house in half for him. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to look after his wife during her confinement, but my younger daughter-in-law had twins, and I really couldn’t manage everything.

If they had had twins, and Baohai’s wife had had a girl, I would have taken care of them and not Baohai’s wife. freeweɓnøvel~com

Yesterday, I was truly startled by his outburst. Without explaining anything, I let him leave in confusion. Today, the more Old Lin and I thought about it, the more it didn’t seem right, so we came. We’re telling you both the whole truth; big brother, sister-in-law, you must decide for us!"

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan watched, stunned, as Old Lady Lin cried her heart out and Old Man Lin trembled and choked. What... what was going on? (To be continued.
