Infinite Throne
Chapter 266: Shroud 8
The next weekend, the brothers slept until noon as usual. Lin Yebai had already mastered the surrounding environment and knew the location of all the delicacies. He had breakfast alone and found Zhang Yingying sitting in the stairwell on the way back.
"Grandpa." She looked up, looking like she was about to cry.
"Come in and talk." Lin Yebai opened the door.
"Grandpa, my mother and I had a fight." Zhang Yingying was very tough at home, but she cried very sadly at this time.

"Have you eaten?" Lin Yebai asked.
"Not yet." Zhang Yingying's stomach growled.
"Can you cook?" Lin Yebai asked.
Zhang Yingying shook her head.
"I'll order takeout for you. What do you want to eat?"
Zhang Yingying was shocked. She didn't expect that her grandfather would order takeout. This is too fashionable!
"Let's eat fried chicken." After all, this is her home, so Zhang Yingying didn't hesitate to eat the fried chicken and then drank a cup of milk tea. Only then did she feel full.
"Grandpa, my mom is so annoying."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm under a lot of pressure. She asks me about my scores very clearly every time I take an exam, and she also makes a table and posts it on the wall. Every time my score drops, I get scared."
"In fact, I want to study abroad because I want to be away from her. She doesn't allow me to do anything. As long as I do something that makes her unhappy, she gets angry and says that I'm sorry for her hard work for so many years..."
"She said that she has sacrificed a lot for me, and I am all her hope. I must stand out and make her proud in front of everyone."
"I really want to go abroad. Half of my classmates are preparing to go abroad. Everything was agreed upon, but she suddenly regretted it. "
"I've even decided which school to go to..."
"Have you calculated the tuition and living expenses for one year?" Lin Yebai asked, "Have you calculated how much your mother earns a month and how long she has to work to earn this money?"
"She can't afford just one year's expenses, let alone support you to finish your studies."
Zhang Yingying was silent for a while, sobbing, "Am I wrong? She shouldn't have given birth to me, I ruined her life."
"It was her choice to give birth to you. She was willing to do anything for you. Did you come to me and tell her?" Lin Yebai asked.
"She will worry about you when she finds out you're not at home."
"She cooks for you every day and works to earn money to support you. How are you going to repay her?"
Zhang Yingying stared at her grandfather, not knowing what to say for a moment. Her grandfather had never spoken to her so gently before. He was a serious and silent person, and he became even more withdrawn after her grandmother passed away.
"I... I shouldn't be angry with my mother. She should be anxious if she can't find me. I'll apologize to her when I go back." She lowered her head, feeling a little guilty.
"Well, this is what your mother sent. I don't like these and always forget to eat them. If I leave them here, they will expire. You can take them back." Lin Yebai took out the milk powder and health products sent by Zhang Xiaohong intact.
"This is for grandpa. How can I take it?" Zhang Yingying was a little embarrassed.
"It will be a waste if I leave it here. We are a family, so don't be shy. If I ask you to take it back, just take it back." Lin Yebai stuffed the things in her hand and said seriously: "I still have a lot here, enough to eat."
Zhang Yingying wanted to refuse, but seeing that grandpa was really determined, she took the things back and waved: "Then I'll leave first, grandpa, I'll come to see you next time."
Lin Yebai didn't know what Zhang Xiaohong's reaction was when she saw those things. I hope she won't send them again.
When Zhang Yingying went back, Zhang Xiaohong was not at home. She was about to put the things in the living room, and was worried that her mother would scold her when she came back, so she simply took the milk powder and health products back to the room.
Milk powder is a common milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people. The health care products have a high-end appearance, exquisite packaging, and are all in foreign languages. They look like high-end products imported from abroad. They are very valuable and can enhance the immunity of middle-aged and elderly people and strengthen their bodies.
Zhang Yingying thought to herself, my mother is so filial and treats my grandfather so well. I have to learn from her. If I give it to my mother directly, she will definitely not eat it. She will also blame me for taking things back from my grandfather. It is better to supervise my mother to eat it every day!
Zhang Yingying found the vitamin bottle at home. It was almost finished. She poured out the remaining vitamins and put the health care products in. Perfect.
"Yingying, you are back."
"Mom will make your favorite corn stewed pork ribs today. You can't not eat even if you are angry."
"Mom will find a way to study abroad. Don't be sad. Don't lose hope until the last moment." Zhang Xiaohong gently comforted her daughter.
"Mom, I know, don't worry, I have figured it out. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you." Zhang Yingying walked over, hugged Zhang Xiaohong's waist, and rubbed it gently.
In the evening, Zhang Xiaohong had just returned home after a busy day, and her daughter brought her a cup of hot milk and two pills.
"Supplement vitamins and calcium, iron and zinc. Mom has to start taking calcium supplements, otherwise she will have osteoporosis in the future."
"Where did you get it?" Zhang Xiaohong was surprised and happy, and her heart was filled with inexplicable emotion.
"I saved money to buy it." Zhang Yingying thought, after these two bottles are finished, if the effect is good, I will buy two more bottles for my mother. Next time, I will go to see grandpa to see what he likes to eat.
"Silly child, mom is in good health." Zhang Xiaohong took it without any worries and drank it directly with milk.
"Don't prepare milk for mom in the future, mom doesn't like to drink it."
"Nonsense, from now on I will make two cups of milk every day, one cup for each of us." Zhang Yingying knew that all parents who said they didn't like to eat it did so to save money for their children.
"The thing that my mother regrets least in her life is giving birth to you." Zhang Xiaohong touched her daughter's head. Everything was worth it for her daughter to have a bright future.
On one side, mother and daughter are deeply affectionate and harmonious, and on the other side, brothers and sisters are respectful, coming in and out together. Lin Yebai finally gained a short period of peace.
But this tranquility was only short-lived. Lin Yebai fell when he went fishing with his old comrades. He just wanted to try the difference between fishing in the world of cursed objects and fishing in the Sea of Fog. Unexpectedly, the folding chair suddenly tilted. , he fell into the lake.
"You must be Xiaogang, your father fell into the lake."
"Come on xxx..."
Zhang Xiaogang hung up the phone, feeling like the dust had settled. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and then entered his old father's room, intending to find some clothes for his father to change into so that his old father could go away with dignity.
Not long after, Zhang Xiaoming also received the same call.
The two of them walked into their old father's room together, looked at each other and smiled, apparently thinking of getting together. There are very few things in the wardrobe, and you can almost see the shroud packed in a bag at a glance.
Zhang Xiaoming reached out to take out the shroud, but he turned the bag upside down and several paper documents fell out. Zhang Xiaoming instantly thought of what it was and quickly reached out to pick it up.
Zhang Xiaogang also thought about what it was, and reached out to pick it up, but there were several documents. They each picked up a part, for fear that the other would see it, and said with a smile:
"I'll get it."
"I'll get it, I'll get it..."
"It's not something important, I'll do it."
"I'll do it..."
Both of them subconsciously glanced at the documents in their hands.
Zhang Xiaoming took a look and found that the person who was betting was actually himself, and the bet was on his own death date!
Zhang Xiaogang also saw that the bet was actually on himself!
"Did the name be spelled wrong..." The two of them said in unison, in disbelief. As soon as these words came out, their hearts skipped a beat, and they suddenly felt something was not good.
Zhang Xiaoming looked down and found that the disease corresponding to his name was written as liver cancer, his living habits were filled with alcoholism, and the person who signed the name was Zhang Xiaogang.
The column where Zhang Xiaogang discovered the symptoms stated lung cancer and syphilis. His hobbies were smoking and drinking. The person who signed the name was Zhang Xiaoming.
"You..."
The two spoke in unison again and looked at each other. The atmosphere was awkward and silent as never before.
"Do I have liver cancer?"
"Do I have lung cancer?"
The two of them clicked in sync again, unbelievably.
"When did it happen?" Zhang Xiaogang grabbed Zhang Xiaoming's collar. There was actually syphilis on the document.
"It was diagnosed when I had tail inflammation." After Zhang Xiaoming finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiaogang again: "Did I find liver cancer when I had cholecystitis last time?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaogang responded.
The two fell into an awkward silence. Cancer was almost a warning of death, and they didn't even have to pay for the surgery.
"Let's divide the money from dad and do the surgery first." Zhang Xiaogang spoke first.
"Okay." Zhang Xiaoming agreed.
The two of them were wearing shrouds. When they opened the door, they found their old father standing outside the door, expressionless and exuding a cold aura.
"Dad...Dad...you're back..." Zhang Xiaoming shivered, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
"Dad..." Zhang Xiaogang was also frightened. Could it be that dad came back to claim his life?
"What the hell are you two doing standing there? Your dad fell into the lake. Why don't you prepare some clean clothes for him?"
Several warm-hearted neighbors appeared behind Lin Yebai and said, "Is there any hot water? Let's take a hot bath first... It's best to make some ginger soup to dispel the cold."
"It's better to drink two packets of isatis root. Don't catch a cold. It's a hassle and you'll suffer a lot."
[Braised Pork Ribs]: Surprising or not?
[Yuzhi** Milk Tea]: Liu Shui’s son is an iron-clad father
The two men stood at the door with extremely complicated expressions. They were originally very frightened after seeing their old father, but now they found out that he was not dead, and their emotions were even more complicated. Disappointment, gloom, anger, anxiety...if painted into oil paintings, it might become a classic.
The two sons were waiting for the body of their old father with their shrouds. When they opened the door, they found that their father was still alive. There was hope in the anxiety, exaggerated sadness in the secret joy, and the moment he saw Lin Yebai, his face suddenly changed, as if his father was dead.
No drama actor can perform such a vivid and complex expression, which reveals a twisted and ugly soul through the rotten skin.
"Thank you everyone for sending me back." Lin Yebai said goodbye to his fishing friends and prepared to go back to the room to change clothes.
"Dad, are you okay? How do you feel?"
"My head hurts a bit." Lin Yebai made up casually.
"Dad, take a shower first." Zhang Xiaogang immediately showed a bit of joy and looked at Zhang Xiaoming.
When Lin Yebai took a shower, the water suddenly turned cold. Fortunately, he took a shower quickly and didn't get splashed with cold water. Lin Yebai still let the water cool down for a while and decided to cooperate with the children in the performance.
"Why did it turn into cold water?" When Lin Yebai came out, there was water vapor around him and an inexplicable chill, which made both his sons shiver.
"We have to pay for gas." Zhang Xiaoming explained and quickly went to pour boiling water for his old father. It's just that the boiling water seems to have been deliberately cooled, and the temperature is not high.
That night, Lin Yebai coughed several times. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his body. He coughed deliberately because he was afraid that his sons would be worried.
The next day, he received a call from Zhang Xiaohong.
