The Urban Medical Martial Immortal-Chapter 526 - 522 Lin Qingwu (Third Update!)

"Uncle?"

It’s no wonder he looked familiar before.

Lin Fengye was Dad’s younger brother, and he did share a certain resemblance!

Lin Tian looked up at Lin Fengye, thinking to himself.

"Your dad had a falling out with your grandfather years ago and took off with the Xiao Family’s young Miss, who is now your mom, to start from the bottom in this small town!"

Lin Fengye saw the puzzled look on Lin Tian’s face and began to explain; then he turned to Lin Zhenyu with a hint of reproach, "Second brother, you also are to blame. Had it not been for your impulsiveness back then, eloping—no, going out to strive—with sister-in-law... Lin Tian and Xiaoqing would not have had to grow up in an environment like this!"

Hearing this, both Lin Zhenyu and Xiao Lin’s faces showed a trace of guilt.

In their eyes, Lin Tian and Lin Xiaoqing should have been able to grow up in a much better environment.

But now, even Xiaoqing had to drop out of school.

In the end, they could only sit for the college entrance exams through self-study.

This just goes to show how difficult their situation had been, to the point where they once thought of selling the shop in town.

But Xiaoqing, sensible from a young age, strongly disagreed upon finding out, insisting she wouldn’t continue her education even if they had the money.

However, thinking of how both Lin Tian and Lin Xiaoqing had performed well on their college entrance exams brought some consolation.

"Fengye, are you here to visit this time?"

At this moment, Lin Zhenyu lifted his head and changed the subject by asking.

"Second Uncle, we came here hoping to bring your family back to Yanjing, so you don’t have to stay holed up in this decrepit village. Who could live in a place like this?"

Before Lin Fengye could speak, Lin Qingwu, who had been standing the whole time, looked around the dilapidated tile-roofed house and frowned, "Moreover, those old stories of yours are well known among many families in Yanjing. Don’t you know how many people are talking behind the backs of our Lin Family and Xiao Family?"

This made both Lin Zhenyu and Xiao Lin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Qingwu, watch your language!" freёnovelkiss-com

Lin Fengye glared at Lin Qingwu, then looked back and said, "Second brother, sister-in-law, don’t take it to heart; Qingwu exaggerated the situation! Actually, we don’t mind. It’s just that when our dad had arranged a marriage for you, you openly objected and chose to be with sister-in-law instead. How could the Old Man save face? And how could he explain it to others? Naturally, he was furious and said some harsh words. Now, his anger has long subsided, and he has been longing for you to bring Lin Tian and the others home. But the Old Man is too stubborn and can’t let go of his pride; that’s why I took the initiative to come—he approved..."

"Let it go, we are quite content now! Lin Tian and Xiaoqing are all grown up, and we don’t aspire to much else!"

Lin Zhenyu hesitated for a moment before finally sighing and shaking his head, "Besides, going back could still cause trouble for the family!"

"Second brother, you haven’t inherited anything from Dad apart from his stubbornness!"

Lin Fengye rolled his eyes, feeling helpless, "What trouble could settling your family cause? If I fail to bring you all back, Dad may not say anything, but he will definitely be heartbroken in private; he still cares deeply; it’s just that old face of his he can’t let go. Plus, there are other families watching this time; if you don’t return to Yanjing, they’ll just make a laughingstock out of our Lin Family!"

"But..."

Listening to Lin Fengye’s earnest persuasion, Lin Zhenyu and Xiao Lin exchanged glances, still hesitant.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Xiao Tian has already made himself so clear, are you really willing to hole up in this godforsaken place for the rest of your lives?"

Their hesitation made Lin Qingwu grow impatient. She frowned and said, "Staying in this kind of small village, your two children probably can’t even imagine what the outside world is like! Do you think tiny Bin City can compare to Yanjing? Right now, my dad is in charge of the family, and if you go back, he will arrange a place for you to live, free of charge. Isn’t that good enough? Or do you look down on it? You’ve been away for so many years, you might be out of touch with the situation there. In a place like Yanjing where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, even a toilet, if someone else wanted to buy it, they wouldn’t have the chance!"

Lin Qingwu’s condescending tone made Lin Zhenyu’s and Xiao Lin’s faces somewhat unable to hide their embarrassment.

On one hand, they would be getting a mansion in Yanjing for free—it sounded good. But on the other hand, it would be seen as accepting charity.

Now, if they didn’t accept it, they were ignorant of the ways of the world, but if they did accept, they would be living at the mercy of others.

Lin Fengye’s brow also furrowed; he knew about his brother’s daughter and her typically imperious tone. Even when she didn’t want to come here, she still spoke like this, and even more so when she faced her elders.

"Dad, Mom, let’s go to Yanjing! Xiaoqing and I both plan to study there, and if you were with us, we would feel more at ease," Lin Tian said, already intending to persuade his parents to move to a better environment, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Lin Tian, right? I remember I’m a month younger than you, so I should call you cousin, shouldn’t I?" Lin Qingwu then picked up the conversation and continued, "But both you and your sister got into universities in Yanjing?"

"Yep! We were lucky, the admission letters came a few days ago. I got into Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine! As for Xiaoqing, she was aiming for Yanjing University, but I’m planning to get her into Yanjing Film and Television Academy after we get there... She didn’t pass the art school entrance exam before..."

Lin Tian replied with a casual smile, "As for the family matters, I’m not very clear. As for a place to live, there’s no need to worry. Once we get there, I’ll buy a house for our parents to settle down."

"Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Lin Tian, why are you interested in studying medicine?" Lin Fengye looked over, surprised, and asked.

"Yes, I’m quite interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine," Lin Tian nodded and smiled in response.

When Lin Tian’s admission letter from Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine first arrived, it shocked Lin Zhenyu, Xiao Lin, and Lin Xiaoqing, as Lin Tian had scored full marks yet did not choose Huqing University or Yanjing University, which were prestigious institutions.

But when they thought of Lin Tian’s superb medical skill, they didn’t say much more and were relieved.

Of course, the reason Lin Tian wanted to attend Yanjing Chinese Medicine was not for the medical skill, but to find that mysterious girl he had encountered in Bin City—the one who had caused turbulence in the Nine-Turned Chaos Pearl within his Sea of Consciousness, bringing him an intense headache.

He didn’t know the girl’s name, only that she was a student from Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The existence of the Nine-Turned Chaos Pearl was at stake; he had to find her!

"Wait a second!"

At this point, Lin Qingwu interrupted them, looking shocked, "You just said you’re going to get Xiaoqing into Yanjing Film and Television Academy? And then you’re going to buy a house in Yanjing for Second Uncle and Second Aunt?"

"Yeah, that’s what I was planning on!" Lin Tian said directly, ignoring Lin Qingwu’s somewhat exaggerated expression as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingwu’s brow furrowed deeply, she opened her small mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she just shook her head, rolled her eyes, and turned to Lin Fengye, pointing to her own head and whispering, "Uncle... does my cousin have something wrong with his head?"
