After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Inside the house, the father and his two daughters looked in the direction of the sound.

The little girl, Qiao'er, subconsciously whispered, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's here."

Lin Fan then realized what was happening and hurriedly got up to greet him, softly calling out, "Dad, what brings you here?"

The person who came was none other than Lin Fan's adoptive father, Lin Desheng.

Lin Desheng is in his early forties this year. People of this generation generally have children earlier.

Just like Lin Shuying, who is not even twenty years old, her daughter is already three years old.

So Lin Desheng, who is still considered middle-aged, already has two sons and two daughters.

Lin Fan looked at the anxious and worried look on his adoptive father's face, and then at his thin and hunched figure.

A pang of sadness welled up in my heart.

My adoptive father was a typical honest countryman, taciturn and not very capable. He only knew how to farm and spent his whole life in the fields.

With just her own two hands and not-so-broad shoulders, she single-handedly supported this family.

There are four children in the family, two of whom were adopted by the elderly couple.

But they never showed favoritism towards their children, preferring to skip a meal themselves rather than let their children go hungry.

In the more than ten years since Lin Fan was adopted, Lin Desheng has rarely smiled at him, but he has never doubted Lin Desheng's love for him.

How could I doubt it? She saved every penny to send me to school, used all the family's savings to build me a new house, and always silently gave the biggest piece of meat in her bowl to her elderly father!

"Xiao Fan..."

Lin Desheng stood at the door, watching Lin Fan walk quickly toward him with a friendly expression, and was momentarily dazed.

Since reuniting with his biological parents, he hadn't seen such a gentle expression on Lin Fan's face in a long time.

He knew that Lin Fan didn't like their poor family and felt that if he and his wife hadn't adopted him back then, he would be living happily with his biological parents now.

As a result, even his biological parents don't want him anymore and want to kick him out of their home.

Lin Desheng had a clear conscience about this. Since Lin Fan came to his home, he had never wronged Lin Fan for a single day. If it weren't for him back then, young Lin Fan might have starved to death on the streets long ago.

He just felt that Lin Fan was still a bit immature, but despite that, he never blamed Lin Fan.

Just like with her own daughter, she no longer had any expectations of Lin Fan. She adopted the child simply because she was moved by their pitiful state.

Everything was just to put my mind at ease, not to seek their reward. As long as Lin Fan was alright, that was enough.

"Dad, come in quickly!"

"Why did you come to the county town? It rained heavily yesterday, the roads are so slippery, it's more than 20 miles away..."

Lin Fan strode forward, grabbed Lin Desheng's arm, mumbled something, and then led him into the ward and sat him down on a bench.

Lin Desheng remained silent, only listening to Lin Fan's affectionate calls of "Dad" and the concerned look on his face. His slightly sunken, dark eyes reddened.

What's wrong with the third brother today...? He suddenly stopped being cold towards me and started showing concern for me instead. It's a little strange...

"Xiao Fan".

Sitting on the bench, Lin Desheng slightly raised his head, looking at his daughter and granddaughter lying on the hospital bed and looking at him. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "Shuying and Qiao'er are sick, and you didn't even tell me and your mother."

“It was your eldest sister who went to look for Shuying yesterday, but found that she wasn’t home. She asked the neighbors and that’s how she found out.”

Lin Fan nodded hurriedly, looking guilty, and said, "Dad, it's all my fault. I left in a hurry and forgot to tell you and Mom!"

"But you don't need to worry. Qiao'er just has a cold, and Shuying only suffered some minor injuries. The doctor said it's nothing serious and she can be hospitalized for a few days."

Lin Shuying, lying in her hospital bed, nodded to her father to indicate that she was alright.

Upon hearing this, the worry on Lin Desheng's face eased somewhat.

He pulled a pipe from his pocket, tapped it on the bench, and instinctively went to light it.

But when he looked up, he saw his little granddaughter on the bed, looking at him with a silly grin. He paused for a moment, then put the pipe away.

"Okay, it's good that everything is alright. Second brother, your mother is still outside. I'll go and call her in."

As Lin Desheng was about to get up, Lin Fan quickly stopped him, saying, "Dad, sit down and rest for a while. You've been walking for so long, have some water and relax. I'll go call Mom in!"

A moment later, Lin Fan left, taking his adoptive mother Liu Chunlian into the ward as well.

Like Lin Desheng, Liu Chunlian was also somewhat surprised by Lin Fan's sudden change in attitude, but women are more emotional.

She immediately wiped away her tears.

This made Lin Fan feel even more guilty.

They were both parents, but I only treated them a little better, and my adoptive mother was moved to tears.

And the Ye family couple...

Lin Fan shook his head, banishing these chaotic thoughts, and poured a bowl of hot water for each of the two elders using the large bowl in the room.

After only a few sips, Lin Desheng gave Liu Chunlian a meaningful look.

Liu Chunlian understood, stood up, walked to the door of the ward, and raised her hand towards Lin Fan.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Lin Fan walked to the door of the ward with some doubt.

Liu Chunlian smiled kindly, took out a piece of oil paper from her bosom, and stuffed it into Lin Fan's arms.

"Third brother, this is what your father and I have saved up over the years, plus 1,500 yuan borrowed from your eldest sister."

"I heard that hospitalization at the county hospital is expensive. Take this money first, and Mom will think of something else if it's not enough!"

These days, people in the countryside go to the village clinic for medical treatment. If someone goes to a hospital, it's assumed to be a serious illness, a life-threatening one, and that it will cost a lot of money.

Upon hearing that their daughter and granddaughter were hospitalized, the elderly couple were so worried that they couldn't sleep all night. The next day, they took some money and traveled more than 20 miles to rush to the hospital.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but sniffle, his nose feeling a little sore.

"Mom... my eldest sister gave me all the money, how will Xiuying go to school?"

Xiuying is the eldest sister's daughter. She is seven years old this year and has reached the age to go to school.

My older sister told me the other day that once she saves enough money, she will send Xiuying to school so that Xiuying can find a good future and won't have to toil in the fields for a living.

Liu Chunlian patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's alright, getting better is the most important thing. Xiuying is a young lady, she'll find a good husband and live a good life in the future."

Lin Fan took the oil paper package and felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds in his palm.

He didn't try to impress others by pretending to be rich; the mother and daughter's medical treatment would indeed cost a lot of money, so he accepted the eldest sister's family's offer.

He silently vowed in his heart that he would make it up to them a thousand times over in the future.

"Third brother, it's good that Shuying and her mother are alright. I'll let your father go back first. Someone still needs to take care of the chores and livestock at home. I'll stay here to help you take care of Xiuying and the others."

Seeing Lin Fan take the oil paper package, Liu Chunlian smiled with relief, then pointed to the bedding roll by the ward door and spoke in a low voice.
