Chapter 454
Chapter 454
Lin Feng said he only found out his parents had been beaten when he got home from school in the afternoon. At that time, his mother had a head injury, and his father kept coughing throughout the night.Initially, the two of them thought it was just some superficial wounds and didn't think much of it. Who knew that his father would start coughing up blood in the middle of the night? They rushed him to the hospital, and after an examination, they discovered he had internal bleeding.
He underwent surgery that very night. Originally, the surgery went quite smoothly, but an unexpected complication occurred in the middle of the night, and his condition had been worsening over the past two days.
Their older brother had just been discharged from the hospital when their parents met with such an incident. This was a massive blow to the two children.
Mentioning it, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his voice choked with emotion.
In the afternoon, Yu Dong and Lin's mother came over.
Upon seeing Si Nian, Lin's mother shed tears of excitement.
She hadn't expected her daughter to return so quickly. For some reason, seeing her daughter gave Lin's mother an inexplicable sense of reassurance, and her taut nerves finally relaxed.
Ever since her daughter returned home, the Lin family's luck had been consistently good, and their days had become increasingly prosperous.
Everyone said her daughter was their family's lucky star, and Lin's mother took great pride in this.
As long as her daughter was around, there was nothing that couldn't be resolved.
Lin's mother's condition wasn't much better than Lin's father's. She was already slender to begin with, but now, having been injured, not only was her face pale, but she had also grown incredibly emaciated.
It was obvious that she had worried her heart out over her husband and son.
There was a wound on her forehead, but it wasn't severe and had already scabbed over.
Mentioning her own injury, Lin's mother couldn't help but shed tears again. "If your father hadn't been protecting me the whole time, he wouldn't have been hurt so badly."
Si Nian hurriedly comforted her, saying that everything would be alright.
Seeing the two of them, Yu Dong also said excitedly, "Auntie Lin said you were a lucky star, Eldest Sister-in-law. I didn't believe it before, but right after you came back, the doctor I was trying to book an appointment with suddenly became available. I just told Auntie Lin the good news, and we're preparing the transfer paperwork now."
Yu Dong was also very happy to see them and smiled.
Hearing this news, Si Nian was also very happy and said gratefully, "Thank you for the trouble, Yu Dong. None of us were at home. If you hadn't been here to help, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's a small matter. In the past, the Boss helped me out a lot too. What is this little thing in comparison?"
Zhou Yueshen also said, "Thanks for your hard work."
Yu Dong actually felt a bit embarrassed.
They hadn't seen each other for half a year, and the Boss was actually being polite to him.
The group didn't have time to say much more and immediately went to process the hospital transfer.
Upon arriving at the appointed hospital, the hospital immediately arranged an examination for Lin's father's condition.
For some unknown reason, the originally oppressive and gloomy atmosphere instantly stabilized after Si Nian and Zhou Yueshen returned.
The doctor Yu Dong found was a specialist in this field. It was said that he was very famous in hepatobiliary surgery, and patients with liver hemorrhages all came to him for surgery.
Indeed, professionals did things professionally. After the examination, his expression was calm. "The probability of a successful surgery is still quite high. If it hadn't been delayed, it wouldn't be this serious."
After speaking, he asked them to go pay the fees and prepare for the surgery.
Since Si Nian was pregnant, Yu Dong and Zhou Yueshen did all the running around.
With her daughter and son-in-law present, Lin's mother also relaxed completely.
In the evening, after the papers were signed, the surgery began.
Zhou Yueshen brought hot water from somewhere and poured a cup for Si Nian.
"Are you tired?" he asked, considering that Si Nian's stamina wasn't good right now, and she had been rushing about all day. She must be exhausted.
Si Nian nodded. She was tired, but it wasn't unbearable. She leaned on her man's shoulder while asking her mother about the whole story behind the incident.
Lin's mother was anxious at heart, and only when she heard her daughter did her attention shift. She said guiltily, "It's all my fault. Your brother's accident happened so suddenly, and the doctor said he needed immediate surgery. We didn't have that much cash on hand at the time. Lin Sisi somehow got the news from somewhere and brought over two thousand yuan to help. Later, when Yu Dong came over to deliver money, I wanted to return it to her right away, but I couldn't find her. I had no choice but to find someone to send the money back to her. I thought everything would be fine once the money was returned, but I didn't expect the Si family to misunderstand, thinking we had manipulated Lin Sisi into taking their money for us, and then things turned out like this."
Lin's mother felt guilty bringing this up. At the time, her son's situation was critical. Although she knew she shouldn't have accepted the money, she had no other choice. Her daughter was out of town, and it would take time to wire money back. So she thought she would take it first for her son's emergency, and once her daughter's money arrived, it would be fine to return it.
Who knew she had thought too simply of the matter.
Hearing this, Si Nian's expression became a bit strange.
The last time she inexplicably ran off to Beijing to solve a case, Si Nian had already been somewhat suspicious.
This time, with her brother's accident, could Lin Sisi have predicted it in advance and prepared the money to come back?
This was just too much of a coincidence.
Recalling what had happened previously, Si Nian suddenly felt her scalp tingle.
It seemed as though every time a plot point occurred, Lin Sisi could predict it in advance.
But because she never managed to resolve things smoothly in the end, Si Nian hadn't thought much of it, assuming it was just following the original plot.
But at this moment, an unbelievable thought struck her.
Could it be that Lin Sisi, just like her, also knew what was going to happen in the future?
After all, if something like her transmigrating into a book could happen, why not something similar for Lin Sisi?
Speaking of which, the novel described Lin Sisi's journey to acknowledge her true family as very smooth, with the real daughter turning into a vicious supporting female character who served as her foil.
However, it never explained how Lin Sisi found out she was the biological child of the Si family. How did someone who had lived in the countryside for a long time know about something that neither family had discovered for over a decade?
The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Si Nian asked, "Mom, how long after my brother's accident did Lin Sisi show up?"
Lin's mother replied, "It was the exact day of your brother's accident. We received the notice and rushed over, and she arrived right on our heels. When we heard the surgery would cost a lot of money, your father and I didn't know what to do, and she just took out the money to help us."
Lin's mother had been too panicked at the time, so she hadn't thought much about it.
Now that her daughter was asking about it, she suddenly felt that something wasn't quite right either.
After all, when their son had his accident, they hadn't told any outsiders. How could Lin Sisi have known so quickly, rushed over so coincidentally, and happened to have that much cash in hand?
The more Lin's mother thought about it, the uglier her expression became.
Although she didn't want to believe it, this matter was just too coincidental.
Seeing the gleam of suspicion surface in her eyes, Si Nian thought to herself that her guess was indeed correct.
No matter what, Lin Sisi definitely knew about her brother getting injured.
Although she didn't know if it was due to a female protagonist's halo or because she, like herself, knew the plot in advance.
But Si Nian felt that this matter was very likely inseparable from Lin Sisi.
"When the Si family came knocking on our door, Lin Sisi didn't show up either, right?"
Lin's mother nodded.
Si Nian asked again, "You also found someone to send the money back, so you're sure it ended up in the Si family's hands, right?"
Lin's mother said, "Yes, it was exactly because we returned the money that they found out Lin Sisi gave us money to help out. They inexplicably claimed that we manipulated Lin Sisi into taking money from her home to empty out their Si family, and things like that."
Speaking of this, Lin's mother also found it strange. This time, Lin Sisi had brought the money over herself. They had never sought Lin Sisi out before, nor had they asked her for a single cent, so how were they suddenly accused of trying to bleed the Si family dry?
It was absolutely baffling.
They hadn't taken a single penny, yet they had suffered an inexplicable beating. Lin's mother felt they were simply too unlucky.
Whenever the Lin family got involved with Lin Sisi, nothing good ever came of it.
