Chapter 2181 The Civilized Compound is Full of Good People
Lin Chen glanced at the agreement written by Wang Tiedan and then put it directly into his pocket.
This little flower is worth more than gold! And just like that, it belonged to the Lin family so easily. Sure enough, every female lead is something special…
In the future, the Lin family will be large and powerful, with many expenses. Lin Chen never thinks money is too much, no matter how much he has. After all, there is a behemoth in Europe named Luo, and the Lin family must surpass it.
"Alright! Everyone, stop pointing fingers at Wang Tiedan. Every family has its own problems! But we shouldn't wash our dirty linen in public. This is something we should keep to ourselves in the courtyard. Don't mention it outside the courtyard. We can't tarnish the reputation of our civilized compound. From now on, Xiaohua will be raised by the Lin family. She can choose her own path in life when she comes of age. Now, everyone, disperse!"
Although Lin Chen forbade the residents from pointing fingers and gossiping, everyone secretly cursed Wang Tiedan as a scoundrel.
At this moment, Xu Quede applauded Lin Chen, saying, "Brother Lin is truly righteous; our Xu family admires him."
"Uncle Lin has gone to great lengths for our courtyard house, and I, Jia Dongxu, admire him greatly!"
Sha Zhu thought to himself that these two bastards had actually gotten the first chance to flatter him this time.
"I, He Yuzhu, admire them too! When no one is home at the Lin family's house, they invite Xiaohua to the He family's house for dinner. Who can blame them when we're a civilized compound? Don't you all agree?"
Sha Zhu is a talented person; he wants to show everyone in the courtyard who knows how to flatter.
Sure enough, as soon as the silly boy opened his mouth, many people in the courtyard were already cursing him in their hearts.
At this moment, Baozhu's father was so moved that tears streamed down his face; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way. The residents of the civilized compound are all good people!
"Little Flower, quickly kowtow to Uncle Lin. You must be a good boy from now on. Grandpa can finally rest easy!"
Although Xiaohua didn't attend school much, she knows what gratitude is. Whenever a kind person gives her and her grandfather a steamed bun, she expresses her deepest gratitude. This little girl is truly sensible…
Just as Xiaohua was about to kneel down and kowtow, Lin Chen grabbed her.
"This is a new society, you can't kowtow to others now. This will be your home from now on. Aunt Wang, take them home for dinner. I have something to do in the front yard."
Xiaohua is living with Yan Jiedi, and she needs to inform Auntie San about this. It's best to let her know beforehand…
Now Wang Tiedan happily ran home to report to his wife, not caring who got the job done. As long as someone else took over, that was fine. Little did he know that he had turned down a tremendous opportunity.
But this guy was thinking to himself, "Xiao Hua has food and drink since she's with the Lin family, she should be thanking me, her uncle!"
When Lin Chen arrived at the Yan family home, the third aunt was preparing breakfast. Lin Chen's presence to discuss the matter was a gesture of respect towards her. After all, the house didn't belong to the Yan family...
Now that Lin Chen has directly stated his purpose, the Third Aunt naturally has no objections.
"Whatever Brother Lin says, we'll do it. I'll pack up and let Xiaohua move in later. I... I'm used to living there, or I can take both of them with me."
Yan Bugui, who had been happily standing to the side, immediately interrupted his wife's request, as he really didn't want to be alone in the house.
"Oh dear, Comrade Yang Ruihua, what's wrong with you? Since Brother Lin arranged for you to come back, you should hurry up and return. Now that someone is keeping Jie Di company, that's enough!"
Yan Bugui quickly winked at his brother Lin, implying that he wanted the other party to help him.
Lin Chen didn't want the three aunties to follow the two young girls around all the time, since it would be inconvenient for them to have a private chat in the future.
"Sister Yang, you should move back! Old Yan has already realized his mistakes. You two haven't been living together, and it's affecting family harmony. Anyway, if he doesn't listen to you, just hit him! Nobody cares about family discipline..."
Yan Bugui, who had been all smiles, suddenly stopped laughing, while the third aunt agreed to move back, following Lin Chen's advice.
After arranging a place for Xiaohua to stay, Lin Chen returned to his own home. Now, he just needed to send Baozhu's father back. After all, it's about returning to one's roots! The Lin family can take care of Xiaohua, but they won't take care of their father in his old age.
He cared for Xiaohua for ten years, and Lin Chen extended his life for another ten years. That's already a great deal!
It's just a matter of a train ticket; Baozhu's dad can go home to retire in a few days. Ten years later, when Xiaohua comes of age, she can also go back to see her grandfather one last time.
Hayashiya
Xiao Hua ate meat buns and sweet porridge for the first time, and her eyes are still filled with tears.
"Grandpa! Little Flower has a home now!"
"Child, eat quickly! You've met a great benefactor!"
Just then, Lin Chen walked in, and the grandfather and grandson hurriedly got up.
"Sit down, sit down, let's eat and chat. I've just arranged Xiaohua's accommodation, but old comrade, you...you..."
Baozhu's father had no other ideas; all he wanted now was for Xiaohua to have a place to stay.
“Secretary Lin, I am already extremely grateful that you took Xiaohua in. Don’t worry about my old bones. I have a son and they wouldn’t dare to abandon me. They just wanted to send poor Xiaohua away because I was afraid that my poor child would have no one to rely on after I passed away. Now that I’ve met you, I’m relieved! From now on, as long as this child has a bowl of hot soup to drink, that’s enough… I’ll be leaving in a bit.”
Lin Chen handed another boiled egg to Xiao Hua.
“Old comrade, how about this? I’ll buy you a train ticket so you can go back. As for Xiaohua, we’ll settle her in Beijing for now. Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat her. You’ll see each other again in a few years…”
Baozhu's father never thought he could return to his home in Xinjiang; he just wanted to find a reliable home for Xiaohua.
"Thank you, Secretary Lin, I..."
"Don't thank me anymore, old comrade. I have to go to work soon. I'll arrange for someone else to take you to the train station. I'm a doctor, and here's a bottle of pills for you to take with you. Your health is fine... you'll definitely see the day Xiaohua comes of age."
Lin Chen wouldn't tell the other party that he could live for another ten years, otherwise the old man wouldn't be willing to leave Xiao Hua behind.
The reason Baozhu's father took Xiaohua around to give her away was because he felt he was about to die!
The old man now took it as a consolation, and accepted the small porcelain bottle.
"Secretary Lin, you go ahead with your work. I'll be leaving soon. I'll just give Xiaohua a few more words of advice, telling her not to cause trouble for your family."
Lin Chen knew that Xiao Hua was sensible and would listen to him even without being told. However, Lin Chen still allowed the grandmother and granddaughter to say goodbye for a little longer…
"Don't worry, old comrade. I think this child is quite smart and sensible. I'll arrange for her to go to school tomorrow. Since I promised, I won't treat her badly."
Baozhu's father now has complete faith in Lin Chen; he's lived a long life and still has that much insight.
"Secretary Lin, I have complete faith in someone as high-ranking as you. I'll be relying on you for Xiaohua's future!"
Baozhu's father also had his own thoughts. He believed that since the high-ranking official's family had agreed to adopt Xiaohua, and she was someone Xiaohua's uncle trusted, he had nothing to worry about. At least it was better than her staying with him!
"That's good, then it's settled!"
