Chapter 790 - 099 Xiaoyi’s Accident_2
"What are your plans for the future?" Although Lin Yuan bore no resentment towards Lady Yang anymore, she still couldn’t bring herself to call her "Grandma." She simply skirted around the address and got straight to the point, "You’re not still fantasizing that Boss and the third son will take care of you in your old age, are you? Not to sound harsh, but I’d bet that after the funeral in a couple of days, they’ll be looking to divide the family property with you. And they’ll surely take every single thing you have now. As for leaving you anything, what do you think?"
Was there any need to say it? Lady Yang knew her own sons better than anyone else; with a bitter smile and a helpless shake of her head, she said, "Me? Even when the old man was alive, I didn’t get a share. Now that the old man’s gone, will they care about an old widow like me? If they don’t kick me out, it would only be because they still have a shred of conscience."
Lin Yuan cast her eyes down; she feared that these two brothers indeed had no conscience.
Lin Jiaxin glanced at his daughter and then back to his own mother; the words "come with us" just couldn’t leave his lips. His family had just started to do a little better. Wouldn’t it be too much to bring Lady Yang back with them? Although Lady Yang was much improved now, the things she had done in the past remained vivid in his mind. Who knew if she had really changed, or if it was just a temporary softening of her heart due to the blows she had suffered?
Although Lin Jiaxin didn’t finish his words, Lin Yuan understood his meaning and continued, "Why don’t you come and live with us? I think if you propose to leave, they’ll certainly let you go."
After all, to them, Lady Yang was someone dispensable, even better "gone." Once the families split, who would look after an old lady who nothing left?
But Lady Yang stuck to her response, shaking her head firmly, "I won’t go. I won’t go anywhere. I’m staying with this family. Right here, even if I starve, I have the old man’s presence with me. I won’t leave."
