Chapter 173: Lin Mingqing
“d.a.m.n old man. I’m going to kill you!” Zhou Erniang suddenly stood up and started punching Lin Yiwei.”Who told you to be a busybody? Who told you to care about the jinx? Now, she has cursed our son to his death. Are you happy now?”
Zhou Erniang had great resentment towards Lin Yuelan.
“So what if that wretched girl dies? If she’s dead, the entire Lin family Village will be at ease. We won’t have to worry about her jinxing us to death. You, on the other hand, wanted to save the jinx. But why did you bring my son into this? Bring me back my son!”
Lin Yiwei also blamed himself.
He also believed that if he hadn’t pulled his youngest son to interfere in the matter between Lin Laosan’s family and Lin Yuelan, his Qing ‘Er would have been a provincial scholar by now.
!!
Lin Yuelan had been saved, but his Qing ‘Er died.
He was also very remorseful and guilty that he had not noticed his youngest son’s intention to commit suicide.
If he’d noticed earlier, he would’ve kept a close eye on him 24 hours a day.
If he had stayed by Qing ‘Er’s side all the time, he wouldn’t have had the chance to commit suicide.
Lin Yiwei felt the pain of losing his son. He felt that intense sorrow that was worse than death.
The whole family was immersed in the shock of Lin Mingqing’s suicide that no one checked if he was still alive.
Lin Mingqing’s head was spinning, and he could hear his father, mother, and brother’s sorrowful cries from far away.
Lin Mingqing was shocked.
Then, he suddenly had a strong will to live!
He had thought that his death would free his family.
However, he finally understood. It would not do that. If he died, this family would always be shrouded in pain.
His father and mother would be depressed because they would lose their son. His brother and sister-in-law would be in pain because they lost their younger brother. He didn’t want to be a bad example to his two nephews.
…
He didn’t want to die. He had imagined all the pain. He thought that he’d be released once he died.
However, he was wrong.
He might see himself as a burden but his family would only be happy with him around. So why did he choose to die?
Would the burden be gone after he died? Of course not. His death would add pain and resentment to his family. He would hate to add those extra burdens on his family. He didn’t want his family to be in pain because of him.
Lin Mingqing didn’t want that to happen.
Therefore, he didn’t want to die anymore. He wanted to live.
Lin Mingqing’s eyes were heavy. He could not open them. He knew that he had to open his eyes. If he didn’t, he would be claimed by eternal slumber.
He also wanted to reach out his hand to comfort his mother, but he couldn’t move.
In the end…
“Little brother.” Lin Mingliang knelt by Lin Qingqing’s bed and immediately cried out in surprise, “father, little brother is not dead. He just moved his fingers.”
Lin Mingliang immediately stood up from the bed and went to check for Lin Mingqing’s breath.
This time, Lin Mingliang said happily, “father, little brother is still alive.”
Lin Yiwei’s shock turned into surprise. He then realized that his youngest son’s wound was still bleeding. He immediately shouted to Lin Mingliang, “Liang ‘Er, go and find Doctor Zhang! Go!”
Lin Mingliang quickly stood up and rushed toward Doctor Zhang’s home.
Lin Yiwei immediately picked up some clean cloth and bandaged Lin Mingqing’s wound.
…
Lin Qingming was eventually saved by Doctor Zhang. However, it caused a problem.
Due to the excessive blood loss, Lin Mingqing’s brain suffered from temporary hypoxia and insufficient blood supply. In other words, his brain couldn’t control his body and actions anymore.
His limbs were stiff, his eyes were a little dazed and dull, and there was drool at the corner of his mouth. However, his mind was still sharp, he merely couldn’t express his will.
Lin Mingqing had broken his spine during the fall from the horse carriage, so he couldn’t move anything below his waist.
