Liu Chunlian's words made Lin Fan's heart sink, and his expression instantly turned serious.

My parents were living comfortably in the old house, so why did they suddenly decide to move here? Could something have happened at home?

Seeing Lin Fan's expression, Liu Chunlian assumed that Lin Fan was unhappy, so she forced a smile and said, "Third brother, don't take it to heart. Just pretend that I never said that. After you and Shuying go home, get along well and the family can live a good life together."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan quickly shook his head and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, what are you saying?"

“This house was built with money from you two when Shuying and I got married, so it’s only right that you come and live here.”

"Don't mention it as troublesome. Don't use such formal language in the future. I'm your son too. Isn't it only right that I take care of you two?"

Hearing Lin Fan say this, Liu Chunlian smiled, a hint of relief on her face.

The third child has really grown up and become sensible.

Hearing these words from Lin Fan's mouth, knowing how to love his wife and be filial to his parents, is a testament to the fact that his parents haven't raised him in vain all these years.

"Mom, after I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll come over and help you move your things over. Let's tidy up the room on the east side, you and Dad can squeeze in for now, and we'll build a new house when we have more money!"

Lin Fan first stated his position, and then asked with a puzzled look, "But Mom, what happened at the old house? Why don't you and Dad want to live there anymore?"

Mentioning this, a trace of sorrow appeared on Liu Chunlian's face.

She sighed, looking at Lin Fan as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Finally, he said in a low, helpless voice, "Actually, it's not a big deal."

"It's not that your second brother is getting old, so we thought we'd find him a wife."

"However, the woman's family requires that after the marriage, your second brother and the girl have a separate place to live."

"We originally wanted to save some money to build a new house for your second brother, but then Shuying and Qiao'er got sick, didn't they?"

"We've almost run out of money, so we have to postpone building a new house for our second son."

“We, your husband and I, are thinking of getting your second brother's marriage settled first, letting the couple live in the old house, and we'll squeeze in with you for now. Once we've saved enough money, we'll build a new house for your second brother.”

After hearing Liu Chunlian's explanation, Lin Fan fell silent.

I just felt a pang of sorrow in my heart, an indescribable unbearable feeling!

These are his parents and family.

From childhood to adulthood, his siblings and adoptive parents have never mistreated him.

The elderly couple treated all children equally, whether they were their own or adopted.

In fact, the elderly couple were genuine farmers who had no other means of making a living besides farming and doing odd jobs.

But over the years, they have never neglected their four children, always trying their best to provide them with the best living environment within the limited resources available.

The family has four children: the eldest sister, Lin Shuhan, and the youngest, Lin Shuying, who are the elderly couple's own children.

The second son, Lin Zhi, and the third son, Lin Fan, were adopted.

However, unlike others, although Lin Zhi was adopted, he also had a deep blood relationship with his adoptive parents.

Lin Zhi is the son of his adoptive father's older brother. Years ago, his whole family died in an accident, leaving Lin Zhi all alone.

Liu Chunlian and her husband couldn't possibly stand by and watch their brother's child starve to death on the streets, so they adopted him. Therefore, strictly speaking, Lin Zhi is Lin Fan's cousin.

The second brother, Lin Zhi, is also an exceptional member of the family.

Years ago, the elderly couple originally planned to find a wife for Lin Zhi first.

But the second brother felt that as the older brother, he should take care of his younger brother and shoulder more of the family's responsibilities, so he worked odd jobs away from home all year round and rarely came home, so the matter of getting married was naturally delayed.

Later, the elderly couple married their biological daughter, Lin Shuying, to their adopted son, Lin Fan, making the family even closer and a joyous occasion.

These days, there aren't many rules and requirements for marriage between men and women, but those who want to maintain a proper appearance still insist on having separate rooms.

The elderly couple naturally couldn't bear to see Lin Fan and his daughter Lin Shuying suffer any hardship, so after the two got married, they spent money to build them a small courtyard in Qingshui Village.

It wasn't just Lin Fan; for example, his older sister and brother-in-law separated from their parents after getting married and started their own family in Qingshui Village.

This can be seen as a way for rural people in this era to express their self-respect and dignity.

Now that their second son has been set up on a blind date and the marriage is likely to happen, the elderly couple will naturally not let their second son suffer any injustice, and building a new house is a must.

Regardless of size, even if it's a bit small, at least it's a new home now, and it sounds better to talk about it.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of my second brother's new house!"

"I will definitely pay for a big and beautiful new house to build for him in the village, so that the girl's family will be satisfied!"

The money originally intended for his second brother to build a new house has now been spent on his wife and daughter's illness, so Lin Fan naturally has to take on this responsibility!

I now have enough money to pay back the 1,500 yuan I borrowed, but that's not enough.

Having been given a second chance at life, Lin Fan wants to give his family members who truly love him a better life, so that they no longer have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and become the envy of everyone in Qingshui Village and even the entire Liangshan County.

This is his goal, and also the driving force behind his efforts!

His second brother always indulged him from childhood, and went out to do odd jobs when he was very young, taking on the heavy responsibility of the family for his adoptive parents.

He was too young and immature to repay his second brother and the family before, but now that he has the ability, it is time for him to take on the responsibility of supporting the family.

"Good child, your second brother will be happy to know that you have this intention."

Liu Chunlian looked at Lin Fan with a face full of relief, her eyes filled with love and pride!

As for Lin Fan's "bold words," she didn't take them to heart. She was satisfied as long as her third son's family could live a good life on their own. What could be more important than that?

……

The next morning.

Before being discharged from the hospital, Lin Fan went to the market early in the morning, bought some food and supplies, and also brought gifts for his older sister and brother.

At noon, after completing the formalities, the family finally stepped out of the ward, basking in the sunlight, breathing in the fresh air, and with smiles on their faces, ready to go home.

On the way, Lin Fan pushed the old-fashioned bicycle, with all sorts of packages hanging from the handlebars. Lin Shuying, who couldn't walk, sat on the back seat, holding Qiao'er in her arms.

Liu Chunlian followed behind, chatting with Lin Shuying, and occasionally giving Lin Fan a push when they encountered uphill sections.

Because they needed to help their parents move, they went directly to the old house first.

Before they even entered the house, the four of them could see a crowd gathered at the entrance, seemingly watching a spectacle.
