"It... it's because the sum of money is too large," the nanny said with a wry smile. "My son is getting married."
"I've heard about that."
The old man naturally knew that the nanny had mentioned this matter before and had even given them an invitation, waiting for everyone to join in the wedding celebration.
"The bride's family wants a house."
"Young people getting married do need a new house for their wedding, which is understandable... I remember you saying you had the down payment before." The old man calmed down at this point, or rather, he had grown accustomed to it, grown cold.
"Yes... the down payment was 300,000 yuan, and the bride's family also demanded a bride price of 300,000 yuan." Her face was filled with a bitter smile. "My husband and I are not very capable. We only have over 300,000 yuan in savings. We live in a small old house. After 300,000 yuan, we had no money left... The young master knew I was out of money, so he asked me to do this, and he... gave me 500,000 yuan."
Five hundred thousand yuan was enough to drive someone to take a risk.
Hearing this reason, the old man fell silent. He just watched silently as the nanny who had worked in their household for over ten years was taken away. At this point, there was truly nothing that could be done.
For the Luo family, money was usually not a big problem, but for ordinary families like this, money was a huge problem.
He knew that, so he understood, but he did not accept it.
The old woman fell silent along with him.
The reason for the silence was simple. Although their son was not the one who administered the poison, it was their son who ordered it...
Even though they didn't know if it was true yet, in terms of the outcome, it no longer mattered.
A simple investigation would reveal whether their son was behind it... it was likely more or less true.
Lin Xiao was also present. He watched the nanny being taken away and silently took out his silver needles. "Old man, it's time for treatment."
"Mm."
The old man and the old woman now reacted as if they were numb. Treatment was for survival.
Survival...
Was it for a peaceful old age?
But could they truly enjoy it?
Neither the old man nor the old woman had many desires left.
After the treatment was finished, Lin Xiao put away his belongings. He looked at the two elders resting and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Lin Xiao."
At this moment, the old woman suddenly called out to him.
"What is it, Grandma?"
Lin Xiao quickly leaned over and asked.
"Thank you."
The old woman uttered these words with difficulty. Her face was full of a bitter smile. "I never expected that in the end, the one who treated me best would be Buyu, it's you... it's you both..."
As she said this, she clearly understood that she had completely accepted this matter.
Even if she didn't accept it, the facts were already out.
No matter what she did, she could only evade it and deceive herself.
"Grandma, you speak as if I'm a senior," Lin Xiao considered himself a person who respected elders and loved the young. However, this old lady had never treated Luo Qinghan well. "Originally, I wasn't very pleased that you treated Qinghan and Xun'er poorly, and I was reluctant to intervene. But Qinghan and Xun'er understand you and are not pursuing it, so I won't say anything more. Saving a life is a small effort for me, so I did it."
