Old Movies of the Republic of China(38)

Mother Lin didn't dare to speak for a long time, and she didn't know if Xingzi's departure had anything to do with what she said. She had always hoped to move out of the Lin family as soon as possible. Everyone knew how much gossip she had endured in the Lin family over the years.

Who can say what is right and wrong about his own past? Yes! Now Huaizi is successful. But now that he is successful, he can show off in front of the outside world, how can he still show off in the Lin family? There are many elders and peers living here. They are all

I have watched Huaizi grow up. Huaizi is not a person who is willing to listen to his mother, and will not get angry because of what others say. He looks down on the Lin family, but Huaizi has been very fond of these years.

There is no neglect. Now the status is different, but it is better for the clan. Many boys got good jobs because of Huaizi. Huaizi always said that without the help of the clan, he would have been a child in those years.

, how can they support this family? Didn't Yang Zi and Xingzi grow up with a little rice soup from the Dong family and a meal from the Xi family? No matter how many unpleasant things the whole family said, they didn't look at the two people who were born at the doorstep.

The child starves to death. This is the only good thing. No matter what others say, we have to accept it. He told himself this, and he always said this to Yang Zi and Xingzi. But let him say that the kindness he felt back then is already around the corner.

It took me seven or eight years to almost pay it off. I have committed so many sins that I will be criticized by them for the rest of my life. If I have suffered it, I still have to ask my son and daughter to continue to be grateful. It doesn't make sense.

Therefore, she talked to Xingzi that day and wanted to ask Xingzi to find Tongtong and talk to Huaizi about moving out of the Lin family's houses. Of course, there was another meaning, that after moving out, Xingzi's marriage should also be

Mentioned. In a place like the Lin family, no one with a bit of respect would come to propose marriage. But it will be different once you move to a big house. The people you interact with around are all rich or noble. And what about gifts?

The Liu family who has money coming to their doorstep has opened more than a dozen shops in the city. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are making a lot of money every day. Their youngest son is about the same age as Xingzi, and they are also a good match. Today

It's no different than before. I feel that businessmen can't get on the stage. If you have money, you can live a good life. If you marry a young mistress, your life will be comfortable. Besides, Huaizi is an official, so what kind of taboos should these merchants have?

For Xingzi, it was the same. When I thought about it, I felt it was a good idea. I couldn't help but mention it to Xingzi. Who knew that this girl had only gone out to study for a few days, and Xingzi was so wild. At that time, she didn't even fart.

He took the money and left in a blink of an eye. He didn't even say hello, and he didn't even show any clues.

Listening to Lin's mother's half-complaining statement, Yang Zi's face turned pale. He could imagine Xingzi's mood at that time. His mother's words must have been very unpleasant. Why are you not from the Lin family? You have endured a lot in the Lin family these years.

Don't be angry. You have to fight for me and show the Lin family that a pheasant can turn into a phoenix. She must have said this, and she said it even more than that. He leaned on the edge of the kang, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

In any case, the Lin family has taken in the three of them, mother and son, and this love will never end in this life. Xingzi has a soft temper, and her mother's words have forced her to have no place to stand.

He laughed bitterly and wiped his face before saying: "Brother, buy a small yard and find a good waiter. If she doesn't like the Lin family, then don't live in the Lin family. You are the eldest son of the Lin family, no

The reason is that you move out. Even if you are willing, the elders of the Lin family will not be willing. I...I grew up eating the food of the Lin family and wearing the clothes of the Lin family. Xingzi and I are both members of the Lin family, and this is my home..." He looked at

To the astonished Mother Lin, "If you don't want to, if you feel that you have suffered hardships in the Lin family for more than ten years, then don't stay. Can't you still get a divorce now? You and your father should simply divorce. From now on, each of us will

Irrelevant!”

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Mother Lin looked at Yang Zi, "You have to make me mad! Who am I doing this for?"

It's really good for Xingzi and me, so don't bother with it. If you continue to bother with it, I will be embarrassed to face my eldest brother and eldest sister.

Yang Zi did not answer the topic and only looked at Mother Lin: "You talked about the second sister's marriage and also mentioned the Liu family. The Liu family's shops are all opium dens. There is no reason for those who sell opium not to smoke.

.The family is not short of money now, and they are not short of anything. Why did you push my second sister into the fire pit? The Liu family gave me a few hundred yuan and said some flattery, and you planned to sell my second sister?

Haha... Mother, if you don't love us less, it will be our blessing."

After saying that, he stood up and said to Huaizi and Lin Yutong: "I'll go to school and ask again." But there was not much hope. It had been a week. If I took the train, I was afraid that I would be far away. Where to go?

Looking for it?

Yang Zi swung the curtain and went out, leaving the three people in the room looking at each other. It took a long time for Mother Lin to react before she understood what Yang Zi meant, and then let out a heart-breaking cry.

Lin Yutong glanced at Huaizi, and the two came out of the east room and sat down in the main room.

"Brother." Lin Yutong looked a little heavy, "I'm afraid Xingzi won't be able to find her back in a short time. Have you thought about how to speak to the outside world?"

Huaizi rubbed his forehead and said, "I understand what you mean. This disappearance may have been arranged by someone else. If it has anything to do with the Japanese, things will be in trouble. But if it has nothing to do with the Japanese, and it disappears like this

After all, it probably has something to do with the Labor Party. No matter what the situation is, it is difficult to deal with. The external view is... we eloped! We can only elope! I fell in love with a poor boy, and I was afraid that my family would not agree, so I might as well just elope.

Just left."

How else to explain it? If his sister and brother-in-law were not in a big position, and his every move was being watched, he would not be guilty of telling this lie. But if someone really said that Kyoko's running away was related to the Japanese, or that she defected to the Labor Party

.Then what kind of suspicions will there be on Kyoko's eldest sister, Kiritong? These things may seem to be just speculation, but in fact, they can really kill someone at the critical moment.

Therefore, it would be better for Xingzi's personal morals to suffer than to have anything to do with something big. The things involved here are huge.

Lin Yutong pointed inside: "I'm afraid the old lady won't accept this statement."

"You can't help her." Huaizi shook his head, "Tongtong, I really regret admitting you back in the first place." I asked you to suffer these troubles.

"I'm glad." Lin Yutong said with a smile, "Without the help of big brother, everything can go smoothly. Just say that this time you are not here, we live in the Lin family, just like living in a fortress, safe!"

Huaizi smiled bitterly, "It's my luck. I've always been alone. As soon as you came back, I felt very at ease when I went out. I knew you were taking care of me at home, so I didn't feel uneasy anymore."

This is what brothers and sisters are about. Supporting each other and keeping each other company.

The two of them sat quietly while Mother Lin cried. Yang Zi came back very quickly and sat aside as soon as she entered the door. "...Recently, she did participate in the Student Anti-Japanese Relief Association. She left with a few medical students.

It’s a bit close. I occasionally go to the Scarlet Letter Club in the afternoon.”

Huaizi then stood up: "I'll ask someone to inquire about the Red Cross to see which way they might have gone?"

When Yang Zi saw Huaizi was about to leave, he grabbed him and said, "Brother... my second sister may not be found. When I came in just now, someone asked my mother why she was crying. I said she couldn't find my second sister. Some people said that this eldest girl

If he disappeared, he must have run away with someone. I didn't refute it. Let's leave it at that. Otherwise... I'm afraid there will be trouble with my brother-in-law."

It coincided with what he and Huaizi thought. Lin Yutong raised his eyes and met Huaizi's eyes. Neither of them spoke. Huaizi only patted Yang Zi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Xingzi is gone too."

Being a nurse, even on the front line, is a relatively safe place. She has the courage to take such a step, which surprises me. My Huaizi younger brother and sister are different and have courage!" Knowing that it is resisting the Japanese, this is already

The best result yet.

Yang Zi wiped his face, but his eye circles were red.

Huaizi inquired about the news, and found out before dark, "It should be heading to Liaodong."

Lin Yutong frowned: "Where in Liaodong?"

Huaizi shook his head: "...the anti-Japanese coalition forces are very active somewhere."

If he could say this, he probably already knew the general whereabouts of Xingzi.

Lin Yutong didn't ask any more questions, and sighed: "This is how troubled times are. The country is destroyed, the family is destroyed, and people are scattered. Wait, maybe ten years, maybe more than ten years, as long as you are still alive, you can still see it."

Later, when someone asked about Xingzi, the Lin family just had a dark face and never took the initiative to talk about it. But soon, the rumors spread. The words were very ugly. Everyone knew that Huaizi’s mother had an affair with someone when she was young.

After running away, the wild girl she gave birth to now also ran away with the man. Sure enough, they were of the same origin. Someone asked Huaizi enthusiastically if he wanted to help inquire. After all, businessmen travel all over the world to post missing persons notices.

It was a simple effort. Huaizi refused them all. His tone was not good either. This further confirmed this statement from the side. My mother ran away with someone, my sister ran away with someone, it was embarrassing and embarrassing. No wonder he never said anything, and when others asked, he would

It's like lighting up a firecracker.

Within a few days, even Lin Dehai was alarmed. He went to Lin's house to meet Huaizi with good intentions: "... Just say that it was me who made the decision, arranged a marriage for Xingzi in another place, and sent her away from afar. The most others can do is scold her.

I'm not a thing, and I'm really not a thing anyway, so just scold me. Nowadays, I've sold my own daughter, so what's the big deal if I sold a bastard? Anyway, I've been a bastard all my life, and I don't care about my son or daughter.

, what else does it have to do with me. I am not unjust for bearing this insult. It is better than now... When I talk about it, I have to mention what happened to your mother in the past. Your face is too ugly. Now in the capital

, you are also a respectable person, don’t take your face seriously. Your mother-in-law is stupid... So, you can buy the yard next to your Aunt Liu for dozens of dollars. Open it from the back wall

The small door is usually locked on both sides. In this way, people can see that they are a family. But you can close the door and live your own life. Otherwise, if you send your mother out, others will not say that your mother is stupid, only that you are not

Filial piety. But living right next to me, no one can say anything. Your mother and I don’t live at home, so we don’t need to explain it to anyone. You insist on living at home, but with these two rooms, you

How to live there? You are not young now, and you should have started a family long ago. Regardless of whether you have a suitable partner or not, it is always right to free up this house. This is the Lin family's house, so naturally you should live in it. Where is your mother's side?

, to the outside world, it is said that it is a property bought for Yang Zi. When the brothers are older, they all have separate families, and Yang Zi is indeed not a descendant of the Lin family, so it is reasonable and reasonable to place it outside. Who will blame you? The more you become an official,

The more you have to cherish your own feathers. Think about this carefully..."

After hearing this, Huaizi smiled and didn't care. He didn't take face so seriously. In other words, he had gotten used to it over the years. As long as he was capable, what could such gossip do to someone?

But then, the rumors outside changed. It was said that Lin's mother wanted to marry her daughter to a cigarette seller, and she made the decision secretly. Lin Dehai was so angry that he directly talked to a family in the country and quietly gave Xingzi away.

I went there. I heard that I received a lot of money from them. Now I was forced to tell the truth by Huaizi. But what can I do with the water thrown by my married daughter? Besides, after all, I am the one who is here. And he said

Lin Dehai was instigated by Widow Liu and insisted on asking Lin's mother to serve him. Huaizi felt sorry for his mother but could not disobey his father, so he bought a small yard next to Widow Liu, but Yang Zi's name was written on the land deed.

. He also specially hired a mute woman to serve his mother-in-law and so on.

Mother Lin was originally unwilling to move, but after all, Yang Zi's name was written on the deed of the house. If she lives in it, the yard belongs to Yang Zi. If she can't live in it, she will sell it one day if she can't keep it. Yang Zi can't always

If you live with your brother, you will have to establish a family sooner or later.

I have to say that Lin Dehai knew Mother Lin well. No, Mother Lin moved very quickly. No matter who asked, she always made room for the eldest son and showed the house to the younger son. "No one lives in the house for a long time, and a good house will be ruined."

"That's what she said.

She didn't mention anything about Xingzi. No matter how clear she was, she knew that if people knew about Xingzi's trip to Liaodong, something big would happen.

One person preached it everywhere, the other bowed his head and acquiesced, and Xingzi's matter became a fact.

Married! Married to the countryside!

There are some shady people who say that the Lin family is covering up their ugliness. They must have eloped and just said they married to the countryside for the sake of face. Anyway, after all, Xingzi didn't leave the door and didn't even take a step forward, so she got married.

No one who has studied for a few days would have guessed what she was going to do.

Those who are busy with big things will still be busy with big things, but in life, trivial things will never be less. The days passed by in rumors, and the hot weather arrived in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yutong took a round fan early in the morning and flapped it.

"This summer has just begun, and it's already scorching hot." Aunt Tong said, shouting at the food she bought, "I went to the village to pick up two more carts of watermelons and save them. I'll rely on this to cool down the heat this year."

Lin Yutong watched Aunt Tong arrange it. She rarely interfered in these trivial matters.

Bai Yuan came in from outside, only wearing a big coat, and from time to time he would lift up the skirt of his clothes to wipe the sweat on his head. Many unscrupulous young men are shirtless now. Bai Yuan is considered civilized.
