The light under the eyes of Ling Jingxuan and Ling Jinghan was getting darker and darker, but they had not yet spoken. Until now, they still believed that when a man is near death he speaks from his heart, and they hoped that the old man wouldn't fail this proverb.
Ling Chenglong and his wife were also surprised. After giving each other a panicky look, Ling Chenglong subconsciously pushed the black wooden box back, “Uncle Ling, I can't take this. You leave it to Brother Chengcai and Chenghu. Chenghu's son is still small, and his second son hasn't been married, so he needs those things.”
Actually, Ling Chenglong's thought was very simple and pure, after all, their days were a lot better now, so there was no need to fight for the family properties with his two brothers, so they could get more and would live better in the future. But like he didn't understand him, the old man stuffed the box into his hands again, eyes wide open, “I said take it. With you taking care of your mother and your two brothers, I can rest in peace.”
Ling Chenglong and his wife who had been sad a moment ago now popped out their eyes, freezing there. What did he mean? So he was trying to entrust the whole old Ling family to them? Even till now, he was still trying to calculate them for his other two sons?
“I won't take it.”
Ling Chenglong stuffed the box back and stood up at the same time, the hands hanging on both sides tightened. No one knew where the old man got so much strength, he grabbed his wrist tightly and tried to pull him back, panting heavily, eyes wide open, “I am your father! Even if you can't acknowledge it, no one can change that. If it weren't me, will you have everything you own now? Now your days are getting better and Jinghan got a linsheng title, and he will definitely take an official career. Anyhow, they are your brothers by blood! If you cover them, they'd also be grateful. You will know how many times they are better than those outsiders…”
As those words came out of his mouth, not only Ling Chenglong and his wife, even Ling Qicai and Ling Jinghong looked a bit awful now. Ling Qicai even thought that his big brother didn't call him over as his younger brother, but as the village head to witness all this. Why is he so silly? Still trying to calculate Chenglong before dying? Even if they were brothers by blood, the second son never had the obligation to take care of the big son and third son, all right? Let alone the old woman who still cursed them even after she got senile dementia or what!
Ling Jingxuan and Ling Jinghan couldn't help giving a sneer in their hearts. It seemed that they really didn't come here for nothing. The leopard cannot change his spots. Even when he was dying, he was still being partial to Ling Chengcai and Ling Chenghu, totally not caring what they thought. Forget about if Ling Chengcai and Ling Chenghu's bad names would affect Ling Jinghan's official career or bring them any bad influence, even now, if they agreed with the old man's death wish, they had to be responsible for all of them. Given their personalities, they'd adhere to them like parasites and they could never shake them off. With such an unbelievable family, they'd be so dead in the future!
That was liking trying to push them over a cliff.
Seeing that Ling Chenglong's whole family looked bad, Lady Li signaled her daughter with an eye, and the latter instantly held up one of the kids and rushed before Ling Chenglong and got on her knees, crying, “Second uncle, aunt-in-law, grandpa is already like this. Please promise him! That is his only wish before he passes away. If you don't, he will never rest in peace.”

“Uncle, aunt-in-law, grandpa is still waiting for your reply. Please promise him! I'm begging you.”
Seeing this, Ling Chenghu's big son also took his wife to kneel before them crying. Now that they were so rich, what was wrong taking care of them?
The few babies to be fed seemed to feel their mother's sadness, they also started to cry. In an instant, the whole room was weaved by all kinds of cries. Ling Qicai got so foamed up. The old man still hadn't died, and they already howled like that! The more he thought, he angrier. He had never expected that his big brother would make such a move before passing away. The sadness and sympathy in the heart were already nowhere to find. His big brother had never achieved anything in his whole life and always so proud. Never expected he was still like that till now! Wasn't it like pricking Chenglong's heart now?
Ling Chenglong frowned, feeling so complicated in the heart. He had never expected he'd have to face this when he hurried all the way here. Heaven knew that when heard that the old man was dying, how anxious he was. On the way here, he only wished that the carriage could grow a pair of wings. That was his father. Anyhow, he got to see him for the last eye, but…what his filiality exchanged for was his father's calculation and his nephews and nieces' coercing.
At this moment, Ling Chenglong only felt like he was a big joke. His family he had always cared about was trying to calculate him anytime. How ironic! How sad!
