Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Unfilial Son (1)_1 Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Unfilial Son (1)_1 Seeing he had woken up, Lao Fan removed the Silver Needles and then became a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving Lin Jiazhong to do whatever he wanted.
The old village head had long since sent for a carriage, but Lin Jiazhong had already changed his mind.
Having already suffered a stroke, what was the point of wasting money by going to town?
“Mom, Dad’s already in this state.
We might as well carry him back home to care for him.
The road to town is both long and bumpy.
What if Dad can’t endure it and gets even worse?” Seeing Lin Jianling had regained consciousness but was still drooling from the corner of his mouth, a barely perceptible look of distaste flashed across Lin Jiazhong’s eyes as he pulled the weeping Lady Yang, fiercely hinting at his wife with his eyes.
Lady Ma was completely preoccupied with thoughts of her son and had no mind to care for a father-in-law who had suffered a stroke.
She quickly propped up Lady Yang and dragged her toward their home: “Oh, Mom, Dad’s already ; you can’t break down too.
Your eldest grandson is still in the jail waiting for you to save him.
Mom, don’t be heartbroken.
We need to hurry and carry Dad back home.
Although Lin Jianling had narrowly escaped death after suffering the stroke and paralysis, going to town to see the doctor and getting some medicine would still have been beneficial for his health.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiazhong, his own son, would disregard his father’s life and just leave him to be!
Lady Yang, crying, wrested herself free from Lady Ma’s support and scolded, “Your dad’s in this state, and you still won’t hurry to take him to town for treatment.
Instead, you want to carry him home!
You unfilial son, I doted on you all these years for nothing.
You’ve been waiting for your dad to die, haven’t you?
Oh, Old Man, can you see this?
This is the son you coddled so much— the moment you were useless to him, he stopped caring about you immediately!”
Lin Jianling had barely regained his senses and was still not fully clear-headed, barely able to move his eyeballs, let alone understand Lady Yang’s words.
But while he couldn’t understand, others certainly could!
Lin Jiaxin nearly fell from Lin Changqing’s back in anger.
His eldest brother might ignore others, but now he even neglected their own father: “Eldest brother, the carriage is ready; hurry and take Dad to town for treatment!
Don’t delay any longer!
Let the doctor prescribe some medicine; he might still get better!”
Lin Jiazhong, scolded by his own mother, didn’t dare to respond, but when Lin Jiaxin scolded him, his anger surged.
He immediately pointed at Lin Jiaxin’s nose and fired back, “Who do you think you are?
The affairs of our Lin family are none of your business, outsider!
Don’t forget, we have no relation anymore.
I’m not your elder brother, and this is not your father!
Stay out of my sight unless it’s necessary!
Mind your own business, you cripple!”
Lady Yang, overcome with anger, also started to cry and curse, “You still have the nerve to call yourself an elder brother.
It’s because of you refusing to divorce that broom star, bringing that Little Disaster Star with her, that cursed us all!
Your father has been struck down because of you!
Unfilial son, unfilial son!
Oh, Buddha, you must show me a clear path!
Looking at his once affectionate elder brother’s icy expression and his own mother’s disgusted and annoyed demeanor, Lin Jiaxin felt a chill all over.
He had always believed only the youngest sibling and spouse bore ill-will against him, but it turned out even his elder brother was the same.
He still remembered the day Yong Le got into trouble, and his elder brother, with tears in his eyes, came begging him to intercede for Yong Le.
The scene was still vivid in his mind—his elder brother had clutched his hand tightly, earnestly promising, “Yong Le’s future is rescued by you.
From now on, Yong Le will be like your own son.
When you’re old, Yong Le will take care of you until your last days.
Moreover, I will never let down your three nieces!”
But today, oh what heart-wrenching treachery!
The parents he had devoutly respected and served, because he couldn’t produce a son, had cast aside his entire family.
His beloved siblings, whom he treated with all his heart, had turned their backs on him in an instant.
Now, with his own father ill, he wasn’t even given a chance to attend to him closely, and he even had to bear the stigma of bringing misfortune upon his father.
