Chapter 28

When Li Xia was 15 years old, Mrs. Lin, who was still in good health, had a stroke.

The illness came like a mountain, and Mrs. Lin did not recover from that illness.Lin Chong and his wife originally wanted to hire a nanny for Mrs. Lin, but Li Xia refused.Li Xia proposed that she wanted to take care of Mrs. Lin by herself. When she was in school, she could just ask a nurse to help her go to the toilet to eat, and she would prepare the meals by herself.

Lin Chong and his wife felt that this was inappropriate at first, but Li Xia insisted on it, and there was nothing he could do about it. Lin Chong and his wife only thought that Li Xia was still a child at that time, and if he couldn't take care of him for a few days, he would ask him to hire a nanny. A nanny will take care of her for the time being, if Li Xia can't do it, the nanny can take her place right away.

In fact, Li Xia didn't want to take revenge, nor did he suddenly burst out in love. Li Xia just thought that he would leave this house in a few years. Although Mrs. Lin didn't treat her very well these years, at least she didn't abuse her. For themselves, Lin Chong and his wife are also very good to themselves, as if they were their own. Regarding the inheritance left by their parents, Lin Chong and his wife even didn't ask for a penny, and left it all to Li Xia.I help take care of Mrs. Lin, just as a repayment for the five years of nurturing.What's more, the nanny's reputation is very bad, and incidents of elder abuse happen from time to time. Taking care of herself can also make Lin Chong and his wife feel at ease.

Li Xia didn't know how to take care of the elderly at first, but after searching the information on the Internet, Li Xia began to fumble around.

Mrs. Lin has diabetes, cerebral infarction, and congenital heart disease. She is more afraid of heat and likes to eat some snacks.

So Li Xia controlled the intake of sugar in Mrs. Lin's food, and changed ways to make Mrs. Lin eat a more balanced diet.For example, Mrs. Lin likes to eat snacks, but now the snacks are high in oil, sugar and cholesterol, which are not suitable for the elderly.So Li Xia reduced the amount of sugar in the pastries, added sugar substitutes, and reduced the amount of oil. The pastries made are refreshing but not unsweet, and Mrs. Lin quite likes them.

In addition, Mrs. Lin is prone to hunger due to diabetes, so Li Xia makes some small steamed buns and rolls on weekends, and puts them in the refrigerator, so she can take them out and eat them hot anytime when she is hungry.

Seeing Li Xia do these things, in fact, Mrs. Lin was lying if she said she was not moved, but Mrs. Lin was really unforgiving most of the time, so the two often quarreled.

Until one time, when Li Xia was 17 years old, Mrs. Lin lost her temper that day and threatened to go to a nursing home. How could Li Xia agree?I can only coax it, anyway, it's not the first time that Mrs. Lin has been in a mood.Last time it was because Li Xia didn't let her eat an extra egg yolk pastry, last time it was because Li Xia didn't let her eat fried noodles in the middle of the night, and last time it was because Li Xia didn't let her turn on the air conditioner in winter...

But this time it's different, Li Xia doesn't let her eat pot-packed meat and ground three delicacies at noon.Mrs. Lin is not happy, why can't she eat it.Li Xia's thoughts are also very straightforward. The pot-packed meat and ground three delicacies are heavy in oil and sugar. How can Mrs. Lin eat them?Even if you reduce oil and sugar, you can't eat it all in one meal. The intake is too much, not to mention the two deep-fried dough sticks that Mrs. Lin just ate in the morning.Speaking of this fritters, Li Xia became angry. Before he went to school in the morning, because Mrs. Lin was arguing for fritters, he bought them. After eating one, Li Xia went to school.As a result, after Mrs. Lin ate one deep-fried dough stick, after Li Xia went to school, she asked the nanny to go out and buy another one. One morning, she ate two big deep-fried dough sticks within one hour, and she also ate ground three delicacies and pot-packed meat at noon. , can Li Xia let it go?
Now Mrs. Lin was completely unhappy, and began to scold Li Xia.Some said that Li Xia ate and drank for nothing, another said that Li Xia had no father or mother and stayed at home, and another said that Li Xia's parents were dead, and he deserved to do a lot of immoral things during his lifetime.At the beginning, Li Xia didn't respond to what Mrs. Lin said, but Li Xia knew that this old man was just like this, so it's fine when he gets angry.But later Mrs. Lin became more and more scolding, and began to slander Li Xia's parents.

Li Xia was not happy anymore, rushed to Mrs. Lin's room and yelled at Mrs. Lin: "You say who eats and drinks for free! How many times have you taken advantage of me for so many years! Uncle Lin gives several Thousands of living expenses! Let me buy all the vegetables you buy! You secretly gave away your eldest son when you bought them! How much do I spend on the things I buy every month! You say that electric water heaters cost electricity, and electricity is expensive! I pay for it myself Bought a gas water heater! Did I cost you money? Did I cost you a penny for my food and clothing for so many years? My parents don’t have your turn to talk about it! I don’t know whose responsibility it was. Responsibility! Try beeping again! Let me tell you! I have paid for your food and clothing all these years! What you eat is cooked by me! I bought all your clothes, pants, shoes and socks! Your son’s money I didn't spend a penny! I don't care about your money! I'm not you! If it weren't for your son insisting on taking custody of me! I would have moved away! You said what you have done for me for so many years You say me! Your son and daughter-in-law are busy at work! Who cares about you for so many years! Has your eldest son come here once! Under the banner of asking me to buy things, you secretly asked Uncle Lin for money! Then secretly gave it to your eldest son! You You think I don’t know! I just don’t want to say it!”

Mrs. Lin didn't expect Li Xia to talk so much, she was too scared to speak, but Li Xia didn't stop, after so many years of depression, Li Xia's negative energy has reached the extreme, if she doesn't vent it, she may explode.

"Do you think your son's money can make you live like this! I didn't buy any of your massage chairs, foot therapy machines, oxygen machines! You don't eat this! I follow you all these years! I even the monks in the temple Not as good! Cooking with little salt makes my neck sick! You can’t put any chili peppers, not even green peppers! Then what kind of delicacies do you eat! You eat mine and drink mine! You pull me on the bed Whole! I am more familiar with the medicine you take than you! Do you think this is what I should be! I have no blood relationship with you! I am willing to do whatever I do! It is not what I should do! Don’t treat everything as me I owe you! If it weren’t for your son’s kindness in nurturing me for so many years, who cares about you, an old woman! You don’t sleep every night! If you can’t sleep, you won’t let others sleep! If you have nothing to do, call and order some useless health care Goods! One day, if you eat to death, no one can find someone to pay for it! Every time you have to refund it for you! You think you have enough money! Every time you send it, I spend money! You think you are a cow, your son The little money I give you every month is not enough for the health care products you randomly ordered! Do you think that I should be grateful to you for how much I have been kind to me? Let me tell you! If you talk about my parents again, you will live on your own ! Let's see if these nannies can take good care of you!"

Just when Li Xia finished shouting, Lin Chong and his wife entered the door. Looking at Li Xia whose face was full of tears, both of them felt bad.Lin Chong and his wife thought that they had done a good deed by helping to take care of the children who had lost their loved ones.As a result, my mother did these things behind her back, and I thought that I had allowed Li Xia to live a good life for so many years, but I didn't expect that Li Xia would not be as happy as living alone.

Lin Chong stepped forward and said to Mrs. Lin: "Do you think that Li Xia eats and drinks for free? Li Xia has been silently sending money to me for so many years! Paying me living expenses on time every month! I call her back, and she gives I'll call back! She took care of me when the family was young, I don't know how much trouble I saved! Otherwise, do you think that Fang Fang and I have thought about doing research for so many years! When Li Xia's parents died in an explosion, our husband and wife were also responsible! That intern originally belonged to us! That intern back then had a poor foundation! It was difficult to take care of! Li Xia’s parents just switched with us! Otherwise, we might be the ones who died! What do you think! You think you are doing a good deed by taking care of Li Xia Well! That's what our family should do! We owe Li Xia! Li Xia has only parents since she was a child, and has no relatives! It's me! It's your son who caused her to lose her parents! Do you think you are secretly looking for Li Xia? I don’t know about Xia asking for money! I just don’t want to talk about it! You don’t know what big brother looks like! He is addicted to gambling! His wife and children are gone! His job is gone! He just drinks and gambles all day long! You are the only one in the world who treats him as a treasure! You give him money and food all day long! It’s all meat buns beating dogs! Do you think he can do business! If he can do business, he won’t do it I still need my old mother to help me at my age!"

Lin Chong turned to look at Li Xia, and said, "Li Xia, it's Uncle who's sorry for you. I was also responsible for your parents' accident back then. If I don't change interns with him, if I change with him that day, I'll go. Do an experiment, and they might not die! All these years, I thought I would give you a better life by bringing you back, but I was wrong! Uncle is sorry for you!"

Li Xia looked at the scene in front of him, didn't say anything, turned around, packed up his things, and moved back to his home.

Li Xia didn't go back to the Lin's house, nor did he ask Mrs. Lin what happened in the end, Li Xia didn't care much anymore.There is no need to ask about these things.Mrs. Lin has already slandered Li Xia as worthless to the outside world these years, so it doesn't make sense to go up to her hot face and cold ass at this time.When he took care of the old lady for so long and finally got what Mrs. Lin said, Li Xia felt that everything he had done was for nothing. Mrs. Lin was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. , It all became a matter of course, it's fine if you don't have the slightest gratitude, and it's not worth it to get these slanders against yourself and your deceased parents.

After Li Xia left the Lin family, she didn't hire a nanny for herself, so she lived a relaxed life.Li Xia didn't think about her future life, but only thought about it, it's good to finally leave.I don't have to look at people's faces anymore, which is great.
