Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 511 - 395: Mrs. Lin’s Extravagant Plea

Nursing Home, Patient Room.

Lin Aidang, who rushed over after work, gently wiped Mrs. Lin’s face and hands with a warm towel.

He had just put down the towel and was planning to massage the old lady when he found his hand tightly grasped by hers.

"Mom, don’t worry. I’ll get you a pen."

With her only functioning hand, Mrs. Lin scrawled on a piece of paper, "Let the second son come back."

Lin Aiguo gently patted the anxious old lady, "Mom, I’ll think of a way to bring my brother’s family back to accompany you. Don’t worry; they’ll be back soon. First, focus on getting better; the doctor said you mustn’t get anxious."

Mrs. Lin wrote again, "When will I get better?"

Lin Aiguo paused and smiled, "The doctor said very soon. The main thing is to keep a happy attitude and not to worry about things. In about half a year, you’ll be able to walk."

"And talk?"

Lin Aiguo smiled, "Very soon, you’ll be able to speak within a year."

Mrs. Lin saw her son bow his head, not daring to look her in the eye. She knew in her heart that he was lying. Could it be that she really couldn’t recover? How could that be?

She reached out her trembling hand to touch her face and found drool again. She closed her eyes heavily.

Lin Aiguo quickly wiped her face with the towel, "Mom, it’s okay. You’ll definitely get better. I’ve already hired an expert. Rest assured, I’ll find someone to cure you."

Mrs. Lin didn’t distrust her son, but she knew his capabilities were limited. If even those Old Russian experts couldn’t cure her, what kind of expert could he know?

Once again, she reached out and wrote, "Let Zheng come over."

Lin Aiguo frowned, "Mom, what else do you want to discuss with my brother-in-law? He’s already introduced some doctors to me. My brother-in-law is busy with meetings every day; even I can’t often meet him. Don’t disturb him without a reason."

Lin Aiguo knew that Zhou Xiaozheng could introduce doctors but would never come to the nursing home himself. He didn’t want to approach him either; after all, his daughter had caused trouble, leaving him unable to speak up.

"He can save me; Jiao has the remedy."

Lin Aiguo looked at his mother in astonishment. Could she really be confused? Zhou Jiao has a remedy? How is that possible? Besides, if Zhou Jiao had a remedy, why not find the eldest sister? Why must she seek Zhou Xiaozheng?

Mrs. Lin was so angry that her face turned red, and she slapped the bed.

"Okay, okay, don’t get excited. I’ll go directly to Zhou Jiao; tomorrow, I’ll ask for leave to go to the Northeast." Before he could finish, he saw the old lady getting even more agitated. He hurriedly patted her back, "Okay, okay, I’ll go find my brother-in-law first. Don’t be anxious."

After a while, Mrs. Lin wrote on the paper, "You don’t go, asking for leave is not good. Let Zhou Xiaozheng send a telegram for Zhou Jiao to bring the remedy to see me. Also, tell Zhou Xiaozheng, if he doesn’t transfer the second son back, I’ll die to show him."

Lin Aiguo waited for her for a long time and finally understood what she meant. He quickly stepped forward, tore the paper into pieces, threw it into the trash can, and, feeling worried, poured water over it.

After a flurry of activity, he pulled up a chair and sat down, glancing at the still-agitated old lady, and sighed deeply. If she weren’t his mother, he’d really want to leave immediately. What remedy? At the end of the day, it’s still about wanting to stir up that father and daughter. But who cares about you? If someone saw this note, they’d surely criticize.

Lin Aiguo considers himself not a good person, but he can clearly distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, threatening Zhou Xiaozheng about life or death—if she really were to die in front of Zhou Xiaozheng, he probably wouldn’t even bat an eyelid. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Who is that? Zhou Xiaozheng! The merciless Zhou Xiaozheng gets threatened? As his brother-in-law, following him for over twenty years, when was he ever given special treatment? Let alone with a mother who has grudges against the Gu family.

As Lin Aiguo regarded her with the eyes of a stranger, Mrs. Lin slowly calmed down. She wanted to speak but found she couldn’t. She wanted to write with her left hand but found the paper had been thrown far away.

The mother and son, one lying down and one sitting, remained silent, just watching each other.

Chen Jingru came in to see this scene.

She tiptoed, carefully placing the lunch box on the window table, and hurriedly slipped out. Once outside the door, she exhaled, patted her chest, relieved that today the old lady didn’t throw anything at her.

Ever since the old lady collapsed, each time she saw her, it was either beating or throwing a cup. She knew the old lady hated her, thinking she didn’t raise her daughter well. But she herself was wronged—a widow raising two children, how much pressure had she borne?

Lin Dinghui saw from afar his mother’s relieved expression, feeling immense sorrow. What had his mother done wrong to always be so unappreciated?

He hurried towards her, "Mom, that old lady is still like that? Simply unreasonable! Wasn’t my sister raised by her? She spoiled her and still shirks responsibility."

Chen Jingru quickly covered his mouth, "What nonsense are you speaking? Don’t let your dad hear you."

Lin Dinghui escorted her outside, whispering, "And if he hears? Facts are facts, who can erase them? I think she deliberately lets Dad misunderstand me."

Chen Jingru knew her mother-in-law well. Now, didn’t her husband always think she hadn’t raised the children well? But there were some things she didn’t plan to tell her son; after all, his future still depended on the old man.

"That’s your grandmother. Have you forgotten how much your grandparents liked you? She’s ill..."

Lin Dinghui sneered, "You’re wrong; I was an orphan from a young age. They pitied me; my treatment was hardly better than Zhou Jiao’s. Their grandchild was only Lin Dingsheng; he was their real grandson."

Chen Jingru widened her eyes, realizing she had never really understood her son. Did her son always think this way? No wonder he wasn’t close to his father.

Lin Dinghui hugged her as they walked, "Mom, I’ve always remembered things from childhood. Grandpa thought I liked staying at my maternal grandpa’s, but he didn’t know. When I was young, he held Lin Dingsheng, calling out ’big grandson’ and laughing happily. My uncle knocked me over, and I fell to the ground. But everyone in the living room laughed, no one noticed me, all surrounded by Lin Dingsheng. That’s when I knew my maternal grandparents truly cared for me.

As I grew older, I understood more. No matter how poor the Jiang family was, my maternal grandpa was still less respected than the Jiang family in their eyes. Lin Dingsheng could follow them into the study, but I never could. Even during college applications, I chose a different path because I didn’t want to be overshadowed by them.

You have to face reality! Don’t expect the old man to help me, let alone my father. In his heart, there’s only Lin Dingsheng. Look, since he came back, has he really spent time with me? No!

So, Mom, don’t wrong yourself for my sake. If she doesn’t want you to come, then don’t. Who didn’t grow up with parents? If my maternal grandparents knew, they’d be heartbroken."

Chen Jingru covered her face and squatted down, sobbing silently.

All these years of widowhood, for what? Just for this son. But unknowingly, she still allowed her child to be hurt. She was a careless mother, a self-righteous mother. She’s really at fault!

Lin Dinghui ignored the odd looks from passers-by, gently patting his mother. Go ahead, cry it out. All these years of suffering should be let out.
