Chapter 114: Past Grudges
The deaf old lady didn't care at first when she smelled the smell of herbs. She cursed Qin Huairu in her heart for making random medicine at home.
Who knew that she got hungrier and hungrier as she waited for the meal, so she decided to go out and see why Second Aunt hadn't brought her the meal yet.
When she passed by Lin Chen's house, she was attracted by the aroma again, so she planned to knock on the door to see what Qin Huairu was cooking. As a result, she accidentally slipped and fell in the snow...
A scream attracted many people to watch...
"Lin Chen, why is it the old woman's voice? Just now when Jingru was leaving school, she was still mumbling to the people in the courtyard about the two of us!"
Lin Chen asked curiously: "What did you say?"
"She said that we only love the young and don't respect the old... Yushui and Lingling gave us date cakes, but we didn't show some filial piety to her... She also said that we have money to support Jingru, so why not take care of the five-guarantee households? Anyway, she is always weird. If I weren't afraid that she would blackmail our family because of her age, I would have to have a fight with her..."
Lin Chen knew why the deaf old lady disliked him and his grandfather. His grandfather told him about this... Back then, the deaf old lady was favored by the old man of the Lou family and wanted to be taken back as a concubine. However, the mother of the eldest son, Lou Zhenhua, refused to agree... From then on, the deaf old lady hated the Lou family.
When she learned that Old Man Lin had healed Lou Xiao'e's grandfather's broken leg, she began to hate the Lin family as well.
The deaf old lady’s motto is that I have a grudge against the Lou family, and whoever helps the Lou family is my enemy.
The deaf old lady has been able to show off for so many years, relying on the favor of the old man of the Lou family...
Lin Chen chuckled after hearing this: "You guys eat, I'll go take a look..."
Lin Chen stood up and walked over. After all, it was right in front of his own house...
Qin Jingru was in no mood to care about the old woman's crying. She was just curious about eating hotpot for the first time.
Liu Haizhong and his son were the first to arrive. When they saw the deaf old lady lying on the snow, they immediately panicked.
"Old lady, what happened to you? Guangqi quickly help your grandma up."
The deaf old lady had a big bump on her forehead and half of her front teeth were knocked out... She was so angry that she kept cursing the bluestone steps in front of Lin Chen's house.
Lin Chen looked at the slip marks on the steps in front of his door and understood what it meant.
If you have weak legs, then stop running around. Why don't others slip and fall...
So Lin Chen took the opportunity and hurried forward to check.
"Hey, old lady, are you okay?"
"Chief Lin, please help the old lady. Look, her mouth is bleeding..." Liu Haizhong anxiously asked Lin Chen for help.
Lin Chen saw that the opportunity had finally come. Didn't you pretend to be deaf every day? See how you curse people in the future...
"Hurry, hurry, carry it back to the house so I can take a look..."
……
In a panic, Lin Chen easily gave the old lady an injection and the deaf old lady became a real deaf old lady.
Because of a broken mouth, the deaf old lady spoke hesitantly...
"Hai Zhong... I... why can't I hear you guys talking?"
Liu Haizhong took a towel and wiped her mouth...
"Old lady, your hearing is sometimes good and sometimes not. It must be the ringing in your ears from the fall just now!"
The deaf old lady couldn't hear what Liu Haizhong and the others were saying, and she suddenly became panicked.
Lin Chen, who was standing by, looked at the big bump on her forehead.
"Master Liu, you are right. Tinnitus caused by hitting the head will gradually go away after a while. I see the old lady's legs and feet are fine, so I will go back first."
Lin Chen left after he finished speaking. He said that respecting the old and loving the young also depends on the person. Not all old people are worthy of respect...
……
Lin Chen returned home and told Qin Huairu what had just happened...
Qin Huairu laughed after hearing this: "She deserved to fall down. She will dislike me more and more. Let's eat..."
The three of them were eating when Lin Chen saw Liu Guangqi calling Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui outside the door...
……
eight pm
Lin's Kang
Qin Huairu boasted to Lin Chen that she had won over Chen Xueru...
"You are really my little baby..."
"Shh, the little girl hasn't fallen asleep yet! Wait a moment..."
Lin Chen turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jingru who was pretending to be asleep...
"Tell me more about Xu Huizhen..."
In this way, the couple started chatting about Qianmen.
……
The next morning the snow cleared up...
Lin's dinner table
Qin Huairu looked at her little cousin and said with a smile: "Little girl, why did you sneak into our bed at night?"
Seeing that her cousin was questioning with a smile and was not angry, Qin Jingru also became bolder.
"It's snowing and people are cold. Aren't you cold without clothes?"
Lin Chen and Qin Huairu smiled at each other...
"Don't come in next time... Hurry up and eat this egg and go find Yu Shui and the others to go to school."
After Qin Jingru took the eggs peeled by her brother-in-law, her eyes smiled into two small crescents.
"Hey! I won't go in when it's hot..."
……
Next room
The big bump on the deaf old lady's forehead has disappeared, but her lips are still swollen.
Yi Zhonghai ran over to feed her some porridge... but the two of them were unable to communicate throughout the whole process. The deaf old lady was really deaf... This made Yi Zhonghai very angry.
"Zhong Hai, what did you say? I didn't hear a word."
Yi Zhonghai sighed. He couldn't figure out whether the deaf old lady did it on purpose or she really couldn't hear.
Normally, if anyone offended her, she would pretend to be deaf and dumb. She was angry with herself because her wife couldn't take care of her.
"Old lady, I have to go to work. You can eat slowly!"
Yi Zhonghai left his job and left... Giving birth to a son is the most important thing now, no matter if you pretend or not...
The Xu and He families also heard about the deaf old lady's slip and fall, but they pretended not to know and did not go to visit her.
If you offend Lin Chen, there will be no hope of having a grandchild, so you should put the overall situation first.
……
Xie He Hospital
When Lin Chen arrived at the door of the ward, he did not see Duo Ye and Director Duan.
So Lin Chen pushed the door and walked in. In front of Bai Ling's bed, a female comrade in public security uniform was feeding her tonic soup.
"You must be Section Chief Lin! Director Duan has said that you will come over today to have a review by Director Bai. Please take a seat."
Lin Chen looked at Bai Ling and nodded slightly.
"Yes, I'll check it for Comrade Bai again. If there's no problem, we can just slowly recover..."
"Thank you, Chief Lin, for saving me... I heard about it from my colleagues when I woke up yesterday."
"As you should. You were injured for the people and the organization!"
Lin Chen naturally felt her pulse and checked the wound on her head... and gave her another injection...
Bai Ling is now in a very poor physical condition due to being in a coma for a long time. She looks pale and bloodless. She also looks very weak...
"I have cleared the blocked blood vessels in your brain. Comrade Bai, you just need to slowly replenish your nutrition to recover. I will go back to work first..."
After seeing Lin Chen off, the female police officer who came to help take care of her sat back next to Bai Ling.
"Director Bai, you were able to wake up this time thanks to Chief Lin! He is the miracle doctor invited by the higher-ups..."
Bai Ling nodded slightly
"I'll thank him after I'm discharged from the hospital! Tell me about the past now. I can't remember anything before I went to Guangzhou. I only remember that I was hit by a grenade in a hideout..."
The girl sighed and told her about the past few years. When she talked about Zheng Chaoyang and the others, Bai Ling frowned slightly...
