Chapter 29 Taking Lin's father to the hospital for a check-up

In the morning, Xia Yichu was awakened by a knock on the door. She thought it was her uncle. When she got up and opened the door, she found it was Xia Guoan, who hadn't been home when she went to sleep the night before.

Yesterday, she bought four sets of clothes for her uncle and aunt at the mall, and two pairs of shoes for each of them. She didn't bring them back, so she had Xia Zhiheng drive her to the post office to mail the clothes back.

"Xiao Chu, Grandpa called and said he has an appointment with the doctor and is going to the hospital now. We'll go over after we finish eating."

"Okay, wait a moment. Where are my uncles?"

"Zhiqian took them out for breakfast, they should be back soon."

Xia Yichu didn't ask any more questions. After changing her clothes, she went to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she went downstairs, she saw her uncle watching TV, and Xiao Cheng and Xia Zhiqian talking.

"Xiao Chu, come over here quickly and have some fried dough sticks, soy milk, and pan-fried buns."

"Okay, Uncle, have you eaten?"

"Let's eat! Let's eat! Xiaoqian is taking us out to eat."

Xia Yichu glanced at Xia Zhiqian, who was chatting and laughing with Xiao Cheng. He was truly a future businessman. He was so eloquent and persuasive; he had managed to win over Xiao Cheng and her uncle with such kindness in just one night.

"Xiao Chu, what else would you like to eat? I'll go buy it for you," Xia Guoan said from the side.

"No, thank you. I don't really want anything to eat."

After a while, Xia Yichu finished her meal. She walked over and took her uncle's arm, which made Xia Guoan, who was standing to the side, extremely envious.

"Uncle, I think I might be a little anemic. Would you like to come with me to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Aside from the Lin family father and son, Xia Guoan and the others knew that this was an excuse Xia Yichu had come up with.

"Come on, come on, when did this happen? Did you not eat well at school? Xiao Cheng, how are you taking care of Xiao Chu? How come she's anemic? Are you two just unwilling to eat well?"

Mr. Lin was pacing anxiously, pulling Xia Yichu along and nagging as he walked out. Xia Yichu regretted it; she should have found another excuse. Look how worried her uncle was.

"Give it to me," Lin's father said, walking up to Xia Guoan and extending his hand.

"Big brother, what are you taking?" Xia Guoan looked completely bewildered; he genuinely had no idea.

"You're not going to back out on the bankbook you gave me this morning, are you?"

"I haven't changed my mind, brother, here you go."

Lin's father had refused the bankbook he was offered that morning, but now that he thought about it, Xiao Chu was his biological daughter, so giving her money was the right thing to do. Lin's father opened the bankbook, looked at the balance, nodded in satisfaction, and handed it to Xia Yichu.

"Big Uncle"

"Take it, you deserve it."

"Brother, this money is for you. You've worked so hard raising Xiao Chu all these years. I've prepared some for her, so don't worry, I won't mistreat her."

"Don't worry my ass. Xiao Chu said she's anemic, and I don't see you worried at all. She didn't grow up by your side, so how much care can you possibly give her?"

From now on, just give him the money; you don't need to worry about Xiao Chu. Xiao Chu, did you hear me? Take the money he gives you; don't be polite with him.

Xia Guoan felt quite aggrieved. He wasn't worried because he already knew his daughter was alright. But then he thought he deserved it; it was all his own fault, the sins he had committed, the debts he owed.

"Big brother, I..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear you talk. I get angry just looking at you. Xiao Chu, when you come back from the hospital later, take the money out of your savings account and put it into your savings account."

From now on, you're not allowed to be frugal, and you're not allowed to work summer jobs. Look at your hands, you've only been working for a month...

Mr. Lin examined Xia Yichu's hands closely, noting their fair and delicate texture. He remembered that when she last came home, her hands were rough, dry, and peeling. How could they have changed so much in just three weeks?

"Big Brother"

Xia Guoan finally found another opportunity to speak, and he discovered that Lin Weidong's temper had become increasingly irritable since they last met more than ten years ago.

"explain"

"Brother, I have a car. It'll be faster for us to get to the hospital by car."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You made us walk so far. Xiao Chu, let's go back and catch the bus."

Well, it's all his fault. Xia Zhiqian found it a bit funny to see his uncle being scolded like this. At home, his uncle was very stubborn and had the final say on his own affairs.

Xia Zhiqian drove, arriving at the hospital in less than five minutes. Xia Yichu went to see the doctor first, telling him she might be anemic. The doctor gave her a referral to get a blood test.

"Xiao Chu, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Lin's father was heartbroken to see that she was anemic and needed to have her blood drawn for a checkup.

"No, Uncle, I heard that people in big cities are getting medical checkups when they get older. Why don't you go get checked too? My report hasn't come back yet, and I have nothing else to do here."

"Yes, yes, brother, my company organizes physical examinations every year."

"Nonsense! I'm perfectly healthy. Are you just throwing money away? You'd better be more careful with your spending from now on. Xiao Chu is anemic from trying to save money. My sister is gone. If anything happens to Xiao Chu, I'll never forgive you."

Lin's father berated Xia Guoan, for some reason, whenever he heard Xia Guoan speak, he would think of his sister's death and then he couldn't control himself from cursing.

Lin's father turned to Xia Yichu and said gently, "Xiaochu, your uncle is perfectly healthy! No need for a checkup. As long as you're well, your uncle will be fine."

"Uncle, please listen to me just this once. It's just a routine check-up, it won't take long."

Xia Yichu tugged at Lin's father's arm and pleaded, and Lin's father, unable to resist her persistent pleas, finally agreed. Xia Guoan quickly went to register and pay the fees, while Xia Zhiqian took Lin's father to find the doctor. Xiao Cheng and Xiao Chu were told to sit and rest while they waited for Xia Yichu's report.

"Xiao Chu, why do you insist on making my dad get a medical checkup?"

"Xiao Cheng, haven't you noticed that your uncle has lost a lot of weight recently, and he doesn't seem to be eating much either. Whatever the problem is, it would be better for us to have him checked out so we can have peace of mind. It would be best if he's fine."

"I didn't notice, so you're just making excuses to get my dad to come to the hospital for a checkup today. You're actually fine, aren't you?"

"I don't know, Xiao Cheng. I sold my blood in August..."

"What? How could you be so foolish, Xiao Chu? What can I say to you? If you need money, just tell me. Do you think my parents, uncles, and aunts would abandon you?"

"How could you joke about your own body like that? Tell me honestly how many times you've sold your blood!" Lin Xingcheng grabbed her shoulders and said angrily.

"Just once, really, I'm not lying to you, just once."

In his past life, Lin Xingcheng learned from Wu Qiuhong about her selling her blood and fainting, which made him so angry that he went back to the dormitory and beat up Chen Shaoping.

Although nothing serious happened, Xia Yichu still wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him about it today. She didn't want Lin Xingcheng to find out and cause trouble for Chen Shaoping, thus getting herself involved.

"Is it because of Chen Shaoping?"

Xia Yichu couldn't deny it; no matter how she tried to deny it, Xiao Cheng wouldn't believe her. Because if she needed money herself, she only needed to tell her uncles and aunts what she wanted to buy, and they would definitely give it to her.

She was too embarrassed to ask Chen Shaoping for money, and she didn't have the face to ask for money back, so she could only find ways to earn money herself.

"Don't worry, after that day I knew Chen Shaoping was only approaching me because of Xia Guoan. I didn't give him the money; I kept it for myself."

Xiao Cheng, could you please not tell your uncle and the others about this? I know I was wrong. And please don't cause trouble for Chen Shaoping.

Fearing Lin Xingcheng might misunderstand, Xia Yichu added, "I didn't mean anything by it. You're a university student now, it's not appropriate for you to hit someone. Xiao Cheng, you must promise me you absolutely won't go to Chen Shaoping, at least not while you're in school."

Lin Xingcheng said with a somber expression, "Fine."

Xia Yichu was relieved to hear his agreement.
