Chapter 237: The Former Person Has Already Ridden the Yellow Crane Away

After dealing with Yu Zi Qian's corpse, Ning Zhe wanted to go home and be quiet, to sort out his messy thoughts.

Just intending to drive back to Gubei Town, he suddenly remembered that his old house, along with the forest farm and more than ten acres of land, had been included in the demolition area, and the only two relatives were now lying in the hospital for hospice care.

He no longer had a home he could return to in the secular sense.

Buying some nutritional supplements and small gifts, Ning Zhe went to the hospital to visit his grandparents who were paralyzed in bed.

Both elderly people were doing quite well now, living in the best ward, with nannies taking care of their daily life. The granddaughter-in-law would come to accompany them to chat every few days. The only regret was that they couldn't get out of bed and walk, and hadn't seen Ning Zhe, this grandson, for a long time.

"A-Zhe, what have you been busy with lately? Chen Yaming said she hasn't seen you for a while." Grandmother lay on the hospital bed, pinching a bright red orange in her wrinkled hands, patiently peeling off the orange threads, breaking off a slice and handing it to the grandson sitting in front of the bed: "Your wife bought it yesterday, taste if it's sweet."

Ning Zhe took the orange and put it in his mouth. It was worthy of being a sugar orange selected by an agricultural scientist; it was sickeningly sweet.

"Haven't married yet and you're already calling her wife." Ning Zhe took the remaining half of the orange from Grandmother's hand and said: "I went to Yundu recently, I'm going to study there in the future, so I'm familiarizing myself with the school environment in advance and getting to know the seniors."

Grandfather, lying on the adjacent hospital bed, nodded with satisfaction. He had always been very reassured about this grandson of his, mainly because Ning Zhe hadn't made him worry much since he was a child.

"You should take Chen Yaming with you." Grandmother said again: "That little girl also wants to go to Yunzhou to study... Your grandfather and her family have already discussed it. A-Zhe, you live in the dormitory for the first year after school starts, and wait until next year when Chen Yaming finishes the college entrance examination before moving out. Renting a house outside the school and living together will be easier to take care of each other..."

"You want to hold a great-grandchild early." Ning Zhe stuffed the last slice of orange into his mouth and said: "Don't think about having children while studying, it affects studies."

A young man and a young woman living together, this is hoping he will spark a fire.

The Ning Zhe from before might have felt it didn't matter, but this kind of thing, having experienced it and not having experienced it are two completely different mindsets. Whether he can hold back now is really hard to say.

"Hmph." Grandfather hummed in his throat and said: "You're not in a hurry, I am. Your grandmother and I don't know which day we'll be gone..."

"Don't say such inauspicious words." Ning Zhe interrupted Grandfather's words.

"I'm not afraid of anything inauspicious!"

Grandfather didn't care at all, his voice even louder:

"I'm illiterate, but I know how to ask people. I heard people read the medical record sheet the doctor opened... Our old couple's bodies were already not good, and we are elderly people, and we were poisoned so viciously. Being alive is the ancestors showing spirits. The doctors and nurses are busy every day, various instruments beeping, I see it all in my eyes. That's how much money..."

Ning Zhe's throat choked. He had already guessed what Grandfather was going to say next.

"A-Zhe, listen to me. Our family had some good luck, encountered demolition and made a fortune, but even a golden mountain or silver mountain can't withstand such waste. Our two old people living in the ward for one day is tens of thousands of yuan. No amount of money can withstand such squandering..."

Grandfather shook his head, turned his head to look out the window, and from beginning to end didn't look at Ning Zhe: "Your grandmother and I are old anyway, don't have a few years to live, but you are still young, still have to get married. Spending this money on us, there's no end..." "Stop talking." Ning Zhe raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "Did you watch too many short dramas on Douyin? You are not in the late stage of cancer, just a bit weak, can't get out of bed, that's all. I asked the doctor, you and Grandmother can be discharged after resting for a while, don't think about those messy things..."

Ning Zhe said incessantly, and the two elderly people listened quietly, without refuting a word, only urging him when he left the hospital: "Chen Yaming is a good girl, it's just that her family is a bit mean, you must treat her well."

The next morning, Ning Zhe received a notification from the hospital.

The two elderly people committed suicide secretly together in the early morning.

Grandfather left him a suicide note. Ning Zhe didn't read it in detail, and didn't want to read it in detail, only knowing that it said:

They had actually had the idea of ending it themselves for a long time. The expenses for hospitalization and nursing were too high. The old couple who had been farmers all their lives had never seen so much money, and they felt heartache just looking at it, always thinking that they might as well go early, so they could leave more property to their grandson. It was just that they saw there was a granddaughter-in-law recently, and they liked it very much in their hearts, thinking and hoping if they could wait for the great-grandchild to be born, hold the child and end their thoughts before leaving, so they had been dragging it out until now.

But listening to Ning Zhe's meaning yesterday, at least within these four years of university, he wouldn't consider having children. If he wants to study for a master's or doctorate in the future, it will be even longer.

The elderly didn't want to delay their grandson's studies and future, and were afraid of wasting the family property by staying in the hospital for too long, dragging down the young people, so they hardened their hearts and set off holding hands together.

"From a rational perspective, the choice they made is very reasonable. Rather than lying in a ward that spends money like running water for years and years, enduring the torture of illness without seeing hope of recovery, it is better to be liberated early and leave more property for the descendants. This is the choice with the highest rate of return..."

Standing by the hospital bed looking at the two people with peaceful expressions on the two beds, Ning Zhe tried to persuade himself like this. In his past life, he had always lived like this, but some things cannot be explained by reason.

For example, the strong impulse he has now to use life-buying money to pull the two elderly people back from the gates of hell again cannot find any reason to persuade himself that this is reasonable, this is what should be done, this is in line with his interests...

There is no reason at all, he just simply wants to do it.

"... Forget it."

Ning Zhe's fists clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched, and finally chose to respect the elderly's choice.

Clearly, he had already mastered Juanyuan, and he could completely apply a Thought Steel Seal of "hee hee, I must live on" to them, forcing the two elderly people to continue living. But, but if he did so, he would feel he had failed something.

Ning Zhe felt he was a bit paranoid, and even he himself couldn't tell whether this paranoia was his own inner thought or if he was influenced by the "Juanyuan" in his brain. Perhaps both? Perhaps neither?

Who knows.

Leaving the hospital bed and arriving at the window, Ning Zhe looked at the heavy traffic on the distant road, and suddenly felt an uncontrollable desire to go home.
