Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 262 Adding 3 Years to Family Members' Lives

Lin Chen came out of the study and went straight to the old lady's courtyard.

It was late at night, and the courtyard was quiet.

When he pushed the door open, the old lady had just removed her hairpins and was about to lie down.

When Lin Chen entered, the old lady was taken aback:

"Chen'er? What brings you here so late at night?"

Lin Chen strode over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and lowered his voice:

"Grandmother, I have something important to tell you."

Seeing Lin Chen's mysterious demeanor, the old lady also became serious and sat up straight, supporting herself on the edge of the bed.

"What is it? Speak."

Lin Chen took out the Great Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

"Grandmother, this is a precious elixir that I obtained by chance. It can directly advance you to the Celestial Realm without any side effects. It is guaranteed to be of high quality and quantity, and I will not cheat you, young or old."

The old lady was stunned.

She looked down at the round pill in her palm, then looked up at Lin Chen, looking back and forth three or four times. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Chen pressed his advantage: "Grandmother, if you take the medicine now, your grandson will protect you and make sure everything is alright."

The old lady remained silent for a long time.

Then she laughed.

As I laughed, my eyes welled up with tears.

"Chen'er..."

Lin Chen grasped her hand; the old lady's hand trembled slightly, so he tightened his grip.

"Grandmother, you have worked hard for this family your whole life, now it's time for you to enjoy your retirement."

"A lifespan of three hundred years is enough for you to watch your great-grandchildren grow up, get married, and have children. By then, you will be the ancestor of our family."

Tears streamed down the old lady's face as she smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Good, good boy."

Without hesitation, she took the pill, popped it into her mouth, and swallowed it down.

Lin Chen immediately channeled his inner energy, placing his palm on her back to help refine the medicinal power.

Half an hour later.

The old lady opened her eyes, a glint of light flashed in them, and her entire demeanor changed.

The wrinkles on her face had faded somewhat, making her look twenty years younger.

She stood up, stretched her limbs, her bones cracking twice, then laughed—a truly hearty laugh.

"What a wonderful pill! What a wonderful pill! I feel like I could kill ten unfilial descendants with a single punch now!"

Lin Chen was immediately delighted.

"Grandmother, take it easy. Your unfilial grandson is still needed to give you a great-grandson."

The old lady patted Lin Chen's shoulder, hesitating to speak, "Chen'er, this pill..."

Lin Chen lowered his voice: "Grandmother, let's keep the matter of the pill a secret for now."

The old lady understood immediately and nodded.

"Understood. Don't flaunt your wealth. Alright, you go ahead with your work. I'll get back to experiencing it myself."

Lin Chen gave a few more instructions before getting up and leaving.

……

After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Lin Chen turned a corner and headed straight for Su Wanqing's courtyard.

When I pushed the door open, Su Wanqing was sitting under the lamp doing needlework, holding a small garment in her hand, sewing it carefully.

During this time, her daughters-in-law became pregnant one by one, which made her both happy and tired, but she made all these little clothes by hand, stitch by stitch.

Hearing the noise, she looked up: "Chen'er? Why aren't you asleep so late?"

Lin Chen walked over and sat down next to her: "Mother, I have something to give you."

Su Wanqing paused for a moment, then put down her needlework: "What is it?"

Lin Chen took out the second Great Rejuvenation Pill and handed it to her.

"Mother, this is a pill. Taking it will allow you to directly enter the Celestial Realm, live for three hundred years, and has no side effects. It's all-natural and harmless."

Su Wanqing was stunned.

She looked at the pill, then at Lin Chen, her eyes slowly reddening.

"Chen'er, this...this is too precious..."

Lin Chen held her hand and said, "Mother, you have worked so hard for this family for so many years. Now it's time for you to enjoy your retirement."

After taking this medicine, you will have a lifespan of three hundred years, allowing you to watch your grandchildren grow up, get married, and have children.

Su Wanqing burst into tears, laughing and crying at the same time: "Okay, okay."

She took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Lin Chen used his internal energy to help her refine it.

Half an hour later.

Su Wanqing opened her eyes, her gaze sharp and restrained, her entire demeanor exuding an ethereal quality, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

She looked at Lin Chen and whispered, "Chen'er, thank you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mother, what are you saying? This is what your son should do."

Su Wanqing shook her head and didn't say anything more, but simply pulled Lin Chen into her arms and held him tightly.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and reached out to pat her on the back.

……

After leaving Su Wanqing's courtyard, Lin Chen returned to Zhao Mingyue's courtyard.

When I pushed the door open, Zhao Mingyue was leaning against the headboard reading a book, her long black hair draped over her shoulders, looking exceptionally gentle under the lamplight.

Seeing Lin Chen enter, she put down her book:

"Is everything settled?"

Lin Chen nodded, walked over and sat down next to her, took out the third Great Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket and handed it to her.

Zhao Mingyue was stunned.

"This is……"

Lin Chen said with a grin:

"Mingyue, take this. It's a pill that can take you straight to the Celestial Realm. It has no side effects. Taking it is a win, not a loss."

Zhao Mingyue looked at the pill, then at Lin Chen, and her eyes slowly reddened.

"My husband..."

Lin Chen held her hand: "You are my wife, of course I'll think of you when I have something good."

Zhao Mingyue shed tears but nodded with a smile.

She took the pill, and Lin Chen used his internal energy to help her refine it.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Mingyue opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. Her complexion was even better, and her skin had a radiant glow.

She looked at Lin Chen and said softly:

"Thank you, my husband."

Lin Chen smiled and pulled her into his arms: "No need to thank me, we're family."

Zhao Mingyue leaned against Lin Chen's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and whispered:

"Husband, how many more of these pills do you have? What about Sister Ruyan and the others...?"

Lin Chen said, "Don't worry, they all have them."

However, they are currently pregnant and will have to wait until after they give birth to receive the money. Lan Fenghuang and the others just arrived, so they need to be observed further.

Zhao Mingyue nodded: "My husband has considered everything very carefully."

Lin Chen held her close, his hands restlessly caressing her waist:

"Alright, go to sleep. You're in a good mood today, maybe there will be good news."

Zhao Mingyue gave a soft "hmm," raised her head, and winked at Lin Chen, her eyes sparkling.

"My husband has been working hard lately. You should rest well tonight and let me take care of you."

Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment, then grinned mischievously and said, "Alright, then I'll just lie down and enjoy it."

Zhao Mingyue blushed slightly and reached out to untie his belt.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Chen emerged from Zhao Mingyue's courtyard refreshed and walked with a brisk pace.

He strolled over to Liu Ruyan's courtyard.

Liu Ruyan was having breakfast with Lin Nian'er when she saw him come in and waved with a smile:

"My husband's here? Shall we eat together?"

Lin Nian'er greeted him politely, "Eighth Uncle!"

"Nian'er, be good and eat well!" Lin Chen walked over and affectionately patted Lin Nian'er's head.

Then he sat down next to Liu Ruyan, looked at her, and hesitated to speak.

Liu Ruyan was a shrewd person; she could tell something was wrong just by looking at Lin Chen's expression. She put down her chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Just say it."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth:

"Ruyan, I have a kind of pill that can directly lead to the Celestial Realm, but you are pregnant and cannot take it now. You have to wait until after you give birth."

Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned. "Husband, you... prepared this for all of us sisters?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, Grandmother, Mother, and Mingyue have all taken it."

You, Yueyao, Shuyan, Yulou, Qingying, Ruoxi, Xueer, and Xiaoxiao each have one.

After you give birth, I will give it to each of you one by one.

Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Chen, her eyes slowly reddening.

"My husband..."

Lin Chen held her hand: "Don't cry, you won't look pretty if you cry."

Liu Ruyan chuckled, but couldn't hold back her tears, which fell down her cheeks.

She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and whispered, "My husband, thank you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No need to thank me. You are my wives, so of course I have to give you good things."

Liu Ruyan nodded and leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder.

Four-year-old Lin Nian'er sat opposite them, watching the two hug each other. Her eyes darted around, her little face full of disdain, and she muttered something under her breath:

"You're being so mushy, sir..."

Lin Chen heard this, looked up and glared at her:

"What do kids know? Eat!"

Lin Nian'er pouted, lowered her head to eat her rice, and muttered under her breath:

"When I grow up, I want to find someone like Uncle Ba..."

Liu Ruyan burst out laughing, while Lin Chen looked exasperated.
