Chapter 499
Several women under the tree at the entrance of the village stopped working, and they all discussed why Lin Laosan saved Widow Lu's baby first, and who came over with the other child in his arms.
There are various speculations. Some say that Lin Laosan may have something to do with Widow Lu. Is it possible that the Lu family's baby is Lin Laosan's biological child, and the one in his own family may not be. The two children
They are the same age, and they were both born in the same month, so the difference is only three or two days.
If there was a civet cat swapping for a prince quietly in this village, it would be impossible for anyone to discover it.
Moreover, the relationship between Widow Lu’s family and Laosan Lin’s family can be said to be very good. The two children play together all day long. Sometimes they live directly in Laosan Lin’s house, and sometimes they all live in Widow Lu’s house. The two children in the village
People don't care about such things. After all, they are all children. If a child wants to live in someone's house, as long as the relationship between the adults is good, they will not refuse it.
But now that something like this has come out, it is inevitable for people to gossip.
If it is said that the children of Lin Laosan's family are actually the children of Widow Lu, and the children of Widow Lu's family are the children of Lin Laosan, then Lin Laosan's actions will make sense.
However, Widow Lu should also know about this matter. After all, no one is more familiar with the appearance of her child than a mother. Since Widow Lu told the wife of the Li family about the matter, it means that Widow Lu’s mood has not been affected in any way.
Instead, I am very grateful to Lin Laosan.
If something really went wrong with her own child, Widow Lu shouldn't have the time to talk to the Li family's wife about these things.
From this point of view, the civet cat exchange for the prince is somewhat untrue, indicating that Widow Lu’s child is really her child. So is it possible that only Lin Laosan knows about this matter, and Widow Lu does not know at all?
But what is this for?
They are all from the same village, and they are all neighbors. It cannot be said that changing the child will make the child rich and prosperous. Even living with a widow will make the child more difficult. Sometimes, every other man in the family, many
Nothing can happen directly.
Although Lin Laosan's family usually takes good care of Widow Lu, this kind of care has limitations, and it cannot be said that they take care of everything.
If Widow Lu's child is really Lin Laosan's son, then this is not a good outcome and will make her child's life even more miserable. It is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
Of course, there is another explanation, that is, the child held by Lin Laosan is really the child of Widow Lu, and has nothing to do with Lin Laosan, and there is something really wrong with his child, but they are all the same
No one in the village has heard of Lin Laosan.
You are so self-sacrificial for others.
Lin Laosan's family and Widow Lu's family are in similar situations in the village. They both talk less and seldom hang out with other people. The only people they are familiar with are the Lin family members and a few scattered people.
, otherwise there wouldn’t have been just a few people following Lin Laosan up the mountain to look for the child.
At this time, the old aunt who had been sitting aside and listening spoke up and suppressed everyone's voices.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense here. Lin Laosan's matter is not what you think. Their family has some connections with the Lu family. It may be a bit strange for others to do this, but when it comes to Lin Laosan's
It would be really strange if he didn't do this."
"Rope, what on earth is going on? If you know, please tell us."
The Li family's daughter-in-law didn't know anything about this matter. When the old lady opened her mouth, she immediately climbed up the pole to find out the origin of the two families.
"You little girl, don't ask around. I can't say anything about this. If I say it, I'll get into trouble. Anyway, you guys remember that their two families have a very close relationship, so that's fine. Now you talk about the old man.
What is the situation with the children of the three families?"
The Li family's wife was unwilling to give up, but looking at the expression on her old aunt's face, she knew that what she wanted to ask her out of her mouth today would be impossible. She thought about going back to the old man at home to ask,
Since this old aunt knows, then maybe the elders in the family also know what's going on.
There is no need to choke with this old lady here.
"Okay, you are the best, I will listen to you."
The young daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and muttered something rather resentful, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"I heard Widow Lu say that she later visited Lin Laosan's house, but the child of Lin Laosan's family was just lying on the kang, motionless, covered with a quilt, and his face was ashen. If it weren't for the chest
There was a slight fluctuation, and the eldest sister of the Lu family thought that the child had already passed away."
"She asked Lin Laosan at that time what was going on and how could this child become like this?"
"In the end, Lin Laosan gave a rather perfunctory answer, saying that the child had been bitten by a poisonous snake and had just recovered from the poison, but the poison had not yet been removed, so his face looked very bad and he needed a period of rest."
"Widow Lu didn't say anything at the time. She wanted to touch the baby's forehead, but Lin Laosan's wife kept blocking her. She didn't say much at the time. After all, it was Lin Laosan who saved her child. Instead,
For Lin Laosan's own child to become like this, I feel very guilty in my heart."
"Then, you can only go out, but when you go out, you have to go back
I glanced over and saw that Lin Laosan's wife happened to reach out to cover the child with a quilt. Widow Lu saw what was going on inside the quilt from the corner of the quilt that was lifted up. Guess what?"
"The child's body was covered with red threads. The arms, legs, and except for the head, the whole person seemed to be wrapped in a red silkworm cocoon. She vaguely seemed to see a piece of paper stuck on the red rope.
Yellow talisman paper."
"Widow Lu paused and wanted to turn around to take a look, but Lin Laosan's face suddenly appeared in her line of sight, blocking her and the child."
"Widow Lu knew that something was wrong. It didn't seem to be as simple as being poisoned by snake venom as Lin Laosan said. But Lin Laosan looked at her with a livid face. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning of seeing her off was already very obvious. Even though
No matter how good the relationship between the two families was, Widow Lu had no reason to stay there at that time."
"It came out after that, but this matter has always been on her mind. When I went to see her yesterday, we chatted for a while, and she couldn't help it, so she told me about it."
"Tell me, what happened to the children of Lin Laosan's family? Why is such a good child tied up with a red thread and affixed with a charm?"
The daughter-in-law of the Li family looked frightened, and what she said was so sincere, as if it was Widow Lu who saw the red string and yellow talisman on the child, not Widow Lu.
However, everyone did not dwell on the issue raised by the Li family's daughter-in-law. They were all attracted by what she said about the situation of the three children of Lin's family.
This time is not like in the earlier years, when all kinds of feudal superstitions, such as cows, ghosts and snake gods, are the targets to be knocked down. The village chief said, there are several Taoist temples in the villages outside.
The statues worshiped by the gods were all smashed to pieces with shovels and pickaxes.
A group of women were talking happily before, but when it came to this, everyone stopped talking. This kind of matter was too sensitive at that time. Although Linjia Village is relatively remote, no one can guarantee that if everyone
What are the consequences of publicizing this matter?
Finally, the old aunt spoke up: "That's it for now. We heard what happened. If you have any ideas, just think of them. If you don't have any ideas, don't go out and talk nonsense. Especially people from outside the village. In their
But I can't even mention it in front of me. If others find out about this, there might be another trouble."
The old lady's words were a final word, and all the women nodded. Although they didn't say anything further, this matter ended here. But whether this matter will be spread out, and who will spread it out, that's
Chapter completed!
