How deep is your relationship with the old lady? Really not!
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Isn’t it just crying? Lin Yutong will! Royal funerals are definitely not a joke. If you cry well, it can become a political show. If you cry poorly, it might be a disaster.
For example, those two unlucky children of the Aisin Gioro family, Yong Huang and Yong Zhang, weren't they directly deprived of the qualification to be heirs just because they couldn't cry?
Is it unjust?
Not entirely! It just shows that the political consciousness of the two people is not high.
Look at Zhuge Liang, who cried when Zhou Yu cried, what a big deal it was.
So, Lin Yutong really knows how to cry, and it makes people feel sad and sad at the same time.
But if you really want to cry in a thatched hut as if you were in Fengxian Hall, then it would really be a joke.
But it seems that I can't cry. The old people are very particular and don't like dumb people crying. Turning to the left, it was Yingzi who was crying until she was about to die, shouting "Grandma" one by one, "...you go."
Now, who can I tell about my panic in the future..." Looking to the right, I saw He Xiaowan, her face covered with a veil, but she was really crying, "... They're all gone now, and I left you alone... What are you doing?
I can’t bear it…”
What is meant by crying in the mourning hall? This is what it means.
Li Xian'er was crying. Yingzi and He Xiaowan were both really sad. Yingzi must be thinking about what would happen if her mother was still alive. He Xiaowan was crying for her father. She said it herself, don't look at her below.
She has a younger brother, but her father loves her the most. Her father is in the pig and sheep business. He is a matchmaker for people who buy and sell pigs, sheep and livestock, and earns a profit from the process. Early on, her father gave her the money to take care of the family.
Later, she contracted tuberculosis and could no longer move, but she still went back to the market. She dragged her father to the market and continued to do business as usual.
Everyone cries about their own pity, and the tears are naturally genuine.
Why is Lin Yutong crying?
I have long been used to seeing life and death.
But you have to cry! Peach Blossom Girl is threatening me. If you don’t cry, I’ll ask you to give me milk.
I'm talking about the little old lady.
If the new daughter-in-law does not cry, it will not be good for the new daughter-in-law herself.
Come on! I wiped my eyes with a handkerchief, and tears immediately fell down. I opened and closed my mouth, closed my mouth, opened and closed it, and just after I let out an 'ugh', I heard a 'puff' and laughed. Listen.
Everyone knew that the voice belonged to Su Xiaoqin. He must have laughed when he saw how ridiculous he looked.
With a wipe of his face, he lost the sense of shame, opened his mouth and cried twice, then raised his voice, "...Miscellaneous... I just left as soon as I said... You should stay a little longer..."
How filial your children and grandchildren have been for two days... Milk... The meat specially left for you is hanging under the eaves, you should finish eating before leaving..."
The fourth master who squeezed through the gate and passed by the door of the east room heard Tongtong's voice from the noisy crying, and then his whole body felt bad.
What are you talking about?!
Automatically brought into the funeral of Huang Ama or Er Niang, and then the queen made such a noise in front of all the civil and military ministers of the clan... He trembled.
Well, let's not think about it any more, I really can't afford to be hurt.
The four sisters-in-law's fighting prowess was astonishing, and they successfully defeated the third aunt and drove them out.
Then Li Xianer looked at her face, stood up again, and started chatting and laughing with those watching the excitement.
What a talent!
Yingzi and He Xiaowan still had to calm down and wipe away their real tears. Lin Yutong was so powerful in medicine that she shed tears from time to time.
There were a lot of lively discussions on the sidelines, and they all said, "Look at Tong Tong, she's crying so much that she's so scared."
The old man was lying on the side and couldn't see it, but people heard it was very lively. It was like a play, very lively.
There was the sound of Sanlanzi borrowing mourning clothes in the alley from outside. The old man finally spoke, "Sanlanzi is not allowed to wear mourning clothes!"
The old man's voice was not loud, and he watched the excitement from inside to outside, and then slowly became quiet.
Zhang Langcheng came in hurriedly, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"Sanlanzi is not allowed to wear filial piety." The old man said it again, "When I die, I will still say the same thing, Sanlanzi is not allowed to wear filial piety."
There are four children in a life, and the son owes the first two daughters? He owes the children! Even Da Meizi did that immoral thing, and this time the second son asked him to report the funeral, but he didn't say anything. Da Meizi was very cruel
, but if you marry someone who is unwilling to marry once, her temper can be kept in her heart and she will hate herself for the rest of her life. Is it torture? It must be like an ant biting her heart every day, and she never lets it go for a day. Tit-for-tat, you are unkind and I am unjust.
, the real knife. Ask the old man to tell him that if such a person has a bad life, there is no justice. His father taught him a lot of things back then, and he has almost forgotten the rest, except for the sentence: 'Don't make enemies with ruthless people.
', these words are firmly remembered in my heart. Therefore, the second grandson's words used this incident to cover up the past grudges with a fig leaf.
He felt good! They had already stood up, and the Jin family was just about to stand up. No matter how heavy the burden was on their backs, they had to grit their teeth and endure it.
It’s okay not to mention these grievances now.
He admitted that he owed Da Meizi, but he never admitted that she owed Sanlanzi.
When Sanlanzi got married, Dameizi's man was already dead. Seeing Dameizi's behavior, he really wanted to do something for human affairs, and he was really careful to choose Sanlanzi as his partner. But, he was a lifelong man.
She only did human affairs once, but her daughter just didn't do human affairs again.
It was then that I realized that my father hated iron and never made steel. I had laid such a good foundation, but life just didn’t get better. What could I do?
As if he was afraid that no one would hear, Mr. Jin shouted again: "Listen, I told you not to ask Sanlanzi to wear mourning. You are not allowed to wear mourning to the old woman. When I die in the future, I don't want her to wear mourning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanlanzi outside sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Who can persuade me?
No one cares!
Those who came to help went in and out, and passed around.
Aunt Jin is so proud, that’s right!
The whole funeral was busy. The men were busy building the memorial tent and digging graves in the cemetery. The women were busy in the kitchen, steaming buns and cooking. The more people who helped, the more people ate. Plus the next day
On the third day, even more relatives came over to eat. Pot after pot of steaming, day and night, might not be enough to be left in the end. For a funeral like this, there are many more people eating than helping.
The laborers at home have come to help, but what about the elderly and children at home? When it’s time to eat, they don’t all come here like this. One for this one, one for that one.
This is where the expenses for funerals end.
Just for this, the deacon kept shouting: "Everyone should be conscious, whoever helps eats, don't take it to their own homes..."
What's the use of saying it?
There are very few people who are in good condition and don't like to take advantage of this. Most people are still the same as before. If people don't bring them home, their children will just come over by themselves, rolling around and saying they are hungry. The steamed buns are placed there.
At hand, who can say not to let the children eat it?
If someone is willing to do something like this, it will give the bereaved family face.
The more people are willing to help and the more seats they open, the more honorable the host family will be.
The key is that when burying a person, all the materials are carried to the cemetery by people. It has to be carried smoothly and not wobbling, and it all depends on whether each person is willing to put in the effort. If there are those who work hard, just watch, everyone can be bumpy on the road.
, the one lying in the coffin cannot be safe. Therefore, the funeral must be carried out in an open and open manner for everyone to eat. As long as you are willing to contribute, you can say anything.
Lin Yutong was about to leave when he heard Fourth Master calling outside, "Tongtong, come out. Stationmaster Qiao is here -"
If there is a funeral at home, ask someone to ask for leave on your behalf. The person from your workplace will come directly to pay your respects. This is a very honorable thing.
When Lin Yutong went out, Fourth Master had already welcomed Station Master Qiao in.
"My condolences!" Stationmaster Qiao shook hands with old man Jin first, and then with several other men in mourning clothes at home. Finally, he shook hands with Lin Yutong, "...there is nothing we can do. Ask someone to send a cart of food. First,
Use it, if it’s not enough, send someone to tell me, I’ll ask someone to send it right away..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of a walking tractor could be heard outside. It was really half a truck full of sacks.
Lin Yutong knew that these were old grains that the station got from the grain station. They were originally used as raw materials for feed. They were not very good, and everyone bought the good ones at a low price. But can this stuff be eaten? Absolutely!
This helped a lot.
Lin Yutong held Station Manager Qiao's hand with both hands, "I don't know what to say except thank you."
"See you outside!" Stationmaster Qiao said politely and went to respectfully offer incense to the old lady.
Deputy station director Chen and others followed behind. More than a dozen wreaths were placed outside the door, making the whole funeral suddenly feel luxurious.
These all go to the ceremony room to give gifts. For example, stationmaster Qiao, the ceremony book says: gift of ten yuan and a wreath.
Nowadays, fifty cents is considered a big gift. For example, it costs ten, eighty-five cents, which is really rare in rural areas.
For the livestock station alone, the total gift money is more than 100 yuan.
The way these helpers look at Lin Yutong is really different. They have seen Lin Yutong coming in and out, and they all know that she is getting paid, but how they say it is still different in the town and in the county.
In people's minds, people who work in front of their own home always seem to be less promising than those who work outside. But now when it comes to work, whether this is decent or not can be seen at a glance.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master sent people out and came back. Along the way, they heard someone talking in a low voice, "...The Jin family can make a lot of money this time..."
Who makes money from funerals?
But most of them think so. Whoever holds a wedding or funeral can receive a gift of twenty or thirty yuan, which is extraordinary. Who would have thought that when people from this unit come, good guys,
It's over a hundred fast once you get up.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment when he heard someone say more than a hundred yuan. There were only ten people in the animal husbandry station, including himself. Why was it only more than a hundred yuan?
I quickly went to the gift room to look at the gift book. It turned out that the gift list was not only from my colleagues, but also fifty yuan was given in the name of the animal husbandry station.
This fifty yuan will be given to any employee no matter what happens at home. Colleagues will give more or less, it all depends on their kindness.
I haven't finished reading the ritual book here, but there is a noise outside again. I don't know who is shouting in the alley: "Lao Si - Lao Si - Tong - someone from the commune -"
Good fellow! The wreaths of elegiac couplets were placed first, and then the wine, meat and dishes were served and half a cart was pulled.
Director Ming came over in person with a few people, burned incense, bowed, and offered gifts. There was a rush of coming and going. There was more than a hundred yuan in the account.
Following this, wreaths were sent to the electric power station, financial office, post office, grain station, cotton station, and other public institutions in the town.
None of this has anything to do with Fourth Master and Lin Yutong!
After all, what I was given was Director Ming's face.
If someone gives you face, you have to keep it. It doesn't matter if you don't have friendship. Once you start to interact with each other, friendship will naturally come.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were almost unable to participate in anything. They were too busy entertaining these people and it was too late.
All the rooms in the house are occupied, the east room is the mourning hall, and the west room is the ceremony room. Except for the eldest son, whose door is locked by Li Xianer, the other rooms are also occupied. The beds are covered with brand new white cloth, and the steamed buns are so delicious.
It needs to be placed in a hot place to ferment. Where can we entertain guests?
Li Xianer stopped being a bastard and took the initiative to open the door to the room and called Jin Mancheng: "You too, why are you keeping a broken bicycle in the room? Push it out quickly..." After that, he laughed again and called the Fourth Master, "Fourth, hurry up and do it inside...
..." Then he called Jin Mancheng, "The new teapot is on top, take it down... Where are the tea leaves? Hurry..."
The reception was very warm.
It’s freezing cold, where can we go if we don’t go in?
Fourth Master has seen this kind of proactive flattery many times. He invited people in without even raising his eyebrows.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were chatting with each other, and she was greeting them at the side. She was serving tea and water with a special look in her eyes.
The level of this guest is different, and the specifications of this matter are also different. Originally, the memorial shed was set up and it was over, but now this is not good. Those who can come to pay homage today will definitely be there again on the day of burial.
Come here. Can you ask the leaders of the commune to stand in the wind?
Needless to say, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong said that the entire alley was covered with canvas sheds. To protect themselves from the wind and cold, there was a fire about ten meters away, which was tended by an elderly man, with a kettle on it and a borrowed table.
The entire alley was laid out. I had to ask those who came with the leader to sit comfortably no matter what they were doing.
The old man of the Jin family just listened and couldn't stop smiling. What a decent funeral for the old gangster!
After a busy day, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the helpers had almost left. But there were still people on the stove, and the steaming of steamed buns must not stop. The stoves were all divided, and who should change shifts at what time?
All are arranged by the deacon.
Filial sons and grandsons all have to keep vigil. When it gets dark, the mourning hall has been moved from the east room to the mourning shed in the yard. People have to kneel in the mourning shed to keep mourning. The ground is too cold, and there is a layer of wheat.
There was straw, but it was of no use in the twelfth lunar month. It was still cold when it should be cold. I lit a brazier and left it, and the whole family had to sit and observe mourning even if they did not kneel.
Today, I am so busy, there are guests like this that I would never have thought of in the original Jin family. The few sad atmosphere seems to have disappeared.
He was running towards a seventy-year-old old lady. Such a funeral can be called a happy mourning.
They all felt that they had gained face, and the topics they talked about were all about this matter. Who is this person, which village is they from, who is who, who is from whose family, who is from that family.
Li Xian'er's voice was high-pitched and she was laughing. She told Lin Yutong about a guest today, "...I felt familiar as soon as he came in, but I didn't dare to ask. Now that you mentioned his name, I think it must be. I
The fifth aunt’s sister is his wife’s cousin-in-law. I heard she is the deputy director of our post and telecommunications office, I wonder if that’s true?”
Then you can't go wrong.
Lin Yutong nodded, her laughter became even louder, and she did not forget to tell Aunt Jin, Yingzi and the other women that that person was as tall as he wore whatever clothes he wore, and then told some gossip about that person that he had heard.
Finally, he lowered his voice and said to Lin Yutong and Yingzi: "...You two probably don't know that he has a good relationship with my uncle of the Lin family."
My uncle from the Lin family?
Lin Yutong reacted for a long time before remembering who he was talking about.
Apart from herself and Yingzi's biological father, there seemed to be no one else in the Lin family whom she called her uncle.
Lin Jiacheng also works at the post office, but in the county town. This belongs to the same system.
The person who has been discussed for a long time is called Su Youde. He is in his forties, and his family is from Taiping Commune, but from a small village below. He was recruited into the post office as a lineman with Lin Jiacheng.
Back then, we were working in pairs, and they did this kind of work for five years. They were together through thick and thin, no matter what. It makes no sense for the relationship to be bad.
Of course he knew very well about Lin Jiacheng.
After returning from Jin's house, I had to tell my old friend what I thought. Seeing that it was already half afternoon, he left on the bicycle in the office.
The Lin family is in a place called Huangcun on the edge of the road from Ping'an Town to the county seat. Turn in from the main road and ride a bicycle in three to five minutes. Because I don't know whether Lin Jiacheng is at home or at work, he forgot when he came out.
I made a phone call. Su Youde shrank his shoulders from the cold, feeling a little annoyed.
The post office is more convenient than other places because it is very convenient to make phone calls.
I had something on my mind and forgot about it when I was in a hurry. Riding a bicycle against the wind on this cold day, even for just three to five minutes, was really unpleasant.
When I arrived at the Lin family, I knocked on the door. It was Lin Yuqi, the eldest son of the Lin family, who opened the door. "Uncle?" He was stunned for a moment and quickly moved out of the way. "Come in quickly. It's very cold." After saying that, he limped inside.
Go, "Mom! Uncle De is here."
The door curtain was lifted, and a plump woman walked out. She looked about forty years old, with a round face and eyes that seemed to be smiling when she saw anyone. "Here you come? Come sit in the room quickly."
Su Youde called his sister-in-law, rubbed his hands and walked inside, "Where is Jiacheng? He's not back?"
As he spoke, he entered the house. There was a woman sitting in the house. She seemed to be in her fifties. She called people "big brother" when she saw them.
I know this person Su Youde, she is Lin Jiacheng's adopted sister and his sister-in-law. Anyway, she is a very close person.
He quickly called out: "Sister is here too."
"Here you are." The woman gave up her position at the head of the kang, "Why are you here? Jiacheng didn't go home."
"Then I have to go find him." He didn't stay long, turned around and left.
How can anyone just walk in and leave?
"It's an emergency. It's the same thing as us." The woman quickly motioned to Lin Yuqi who came in, "Don't be stunned and give your uncle some tea."
Su Youde was in a dilemma. If Lin Youde's wife asked this, she wouldn't say anything. The problem is that this old sister asked it, so it would be a bit ugly if she didn't say it.
The status of this old sister is quite special. It was before liberation. She followed her father to beg for food and came to this Huangcun. The Lin family has two sons and one daughter. The second son is Lin Jiacheng, and there is another son above.
His name was Lin Jiahui, and he was born blind. Lin Jiacheng’s mother gave the begging father and daughter a meal. Seeing that the father was so sick, coughing when he walked, and looking like he couldn’t survive, she said,
Why don't you leave your girl to my family? In the future, when my son becomes a wife, I will raise her. The father also wants to give his child a way to survive. The war is in chaos. If he loses his child, he will probably have to
It didn't work out. So, he left his seven or eight-year-old daughter behind and left on his own.
According to Lin Jiacheng, when his sister came to his house, he had just learned to walk. She was said to be a sister-in-law, but in fact she was no different from her real sister. Because the eldest son of the Lin family was blind, when the children were still young in those years,
Lin Jiacheng always takes care of his nephews and nieces. Therefore, the children of the Lin family call the eldest brother father and the elder sister mother. The two members of the Lin family call parents parents.
Compared to Deng Chunhua, the woman whom the Lin family married after they grew up, this nameless old sister who used to be called Lin Dani and is now called Auntie Lin has caused more trouble in the Lin family.
When asked, Su Youde hesitated and said: "...There was nothing we could do back then, but now that the children are older and have families, you don't admit it...right! Are you watching, sister?"
Aunt Lin pursed her lips and rolled her eyes as she glanced at Deng Chunhua, who pursed her lips and said nothing, "...I heard about it when Yingzi got married. I wanted to ask my second son to go. What's the result?"
Deng Chunhua made a huge fuss!
Su Youde didn't say anything. He could only send the news about this matter. As for how he felt about it, it all depended on the Lin family.
This time when we went to Jin's house, the fourth and fourth son of the Jin family were shocked. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, you could feel that this was definitely not an ordinary person. It was definitely not unreasonable for a temporary worker to ask the director of the commune to come to the door in person.
of.
He had known about Lin Yutong raising pigs for a long time. But she had never seen him before. Now that he looked at it, how he talked and acted, and to be honest, after meeting so many young girls, none of them could compare.
.
This old man is in luck.
Over there, Deng Chunhua still pursed her lips and said nothing. Aunt Lin got down from the kang and said to Su Youde: "Well, big brother, go and do your business. I know about this. Just go and do your business, and the county will be safe."
No need to go…”
Not telling Lin Jiacheng?
Su Youde couldn't ask whether it was someone else's housework. He could just do his duty as a friend.
As a result, early the next morning, Lin Yutong had just come out to wash up, and heard a cry from afar: "My old aunt...the old aunt I have no chance to see..."
Which relative has arrived?
There are different types of mourning. Some people can cry. Some people start crying from a mile or two away from the victim's house. They cry and babble at the same time. They cry until they are hoarse at the victim's house.
This guy started crying as soon as he entered the alley. Lin Yutong thought he was an old relative at home.
Follow the fourth master and kneel down quickly.
As a result, he came in crying and sighed, and everyone in the Jin family except Yingzi was confused.
Don’t know me!!
They didn't come alone, there was an old lady, followed by four young men, a young daughter-in-law, and two older girls.
When relatives and friends come, men kowtow and women mourn.
The old lady and her daughter-in-law were crying, and Lin Yutong's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law had to cry with her. She cried a few times, and then went over to help her.
Aunt Jin went over to help her, "Sister..." I want to ask who you are? But she was afraid of being rash, so she looked at Old Man Jin aside.
Old Man Jin shook his head, he didn't know either.
The golden monster raised his eyebrows when he saw that one of the young men following him was lame. He seemed to know this boy. He was in high school and passed by the alley every week. He also liked to hang out outside. The conditions at home were good, so he took action.
He is also very generous. It is said that his father works in the post and telecommunications office.
He had a guess in his mind, so he poked the fourth child in the waist and whispered: "Is it from your father-in-law's side?"
I don’t know! No one has asked how the Lin family is doing?
Yingzi heard the golden monster's words, pulled Lin Yutong's sleeve, and said softly, "Hmm".
Lin Yutong hadn't spoken yet, but Aunt Lin, who was wiping her tears, took Aunt Jin's hand and said, "In-laws, you're late! Don't be surprised!" After saying this, without giving Aunt Jin a reaction, she turned to Yingzi.
Looking over, "Yingzi, I don't recognize my mother anymore."
Yingzi had no choice but to go over and call out "Mother", "Why are you here?"
No funeral notice was given!
Aunt Lin patted Yingzi and said, "If you know where you are, why don't you come? When the funeral comes, who will help you?"
The woman must be supported by her mother-in-law!
Yingzi had her aunt over there, and Lin Yutong's little old lady had small feet, so she definitely couldn't do it. Qian Cuicui said she would come over that day and help her.
Usually it is the sister-in-law or sister of the mother's family.
Originally it was not a big deal to Lin Yutong, but in fact some people took it very seriously. Those who were helping out at the Jin family were all complimented when they heard that their parents came here just for this.
Don't worry about how the Lin family does other things, they are very particular about this matter.
I was even more proud when I saw that the attendants and deacons from the ceremonial room over there had come over and took the sacrifices from the baskets brought by the Lin family to set up the offering table.
What was brought out was a double portion, two pig heads, eight portions of dried fruits, and eight portions of fruit.
A pig's head, four parts of dried fruit and four parts of fruit are considered a sacrifice.
Now that's two copies.
The meaning is very clear, this is for the two Lin family girls.
In fact, it didn't have to be like this originally. It's like the Jin family marrying four wives at once. Do they have to give four gifts? Of course not, just one.
But the Lin family is not partial, impartial, two copies.
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows. They cried and paid tribute to the old man here, just like the daughter-in-law who had observed filial piety in the past could not divorce her.
This relative will be stabbed in the spine if he doesn't recognize him.
She heard Yingzi talk about the Lin family intermittently. In Yingzi's few memories, she had a very good impression of this mother.
A very shrewd person.
Lin Yutong didn't speak. It was inappropriate to say anything.
She didn't say anything, but Aunt Jin had to say it. She quickly grabbed Aunt Lin and said, "I didn't know it was my in-laws who came to visit, so hurry up and sit in the room..." Then she called Yingzi, "Hold your mother..."
Lin Yutong sat in the mourning hall without moving. It didn't matter whether it was troublesome or not. When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. It's a simple truth.
The fourth master was talking to the other side. Among the four young men, there were three cousins. In other words, Aunt Lin had brought out almost everyone from the eldest room of the Lin family.
Lin Yutong sat there without moving. Peach Blossom Girl and Aunt Song came over to poke and push, "Hurry up and say hello! You are a guest when you come to your door! What's more, they are mourning for your milk..."
That’s not how I recognize you!
Lin Yutong turned around and said, "I have to tell my grandma."
I have never asked my elders, what can I say.
When this reason was revealed, my ears became clear again.
Li Xian'er is someone who likes to inquire about everything, so she told Lin Yutong in a short time, "The lame brother is your stepmother's eldest brother, the tall one is your second cousin, and the other two younger ones are all cousins."
Brother, I heard that my cousin is doing great things now. After he is demobilized from the army, he will drive for the Provincial Secretary."
This means that people just want to recognize the children of the Lin family, and there is no question of whether to flatter or not. Even if you have a friendship with the commune director, what does it mean in their eyes?
This was something Lin Yutong didn't expect.
While they were talking, the little old lady walked away, twisted, and came in crying, followed by several young men carrying trays. The various sacrifices were similar to those brought by the Lin family, and they were also brought in double portions. Usually the big
The old lady's appearance towards Yingzi was similar to that towards Lin Yutong, and the old lady was unambiguous in matters of business. She must have heard that someone from the Lin family was coming, and her courtesy followed suit.
Lin Yutong quickly went to help the little old lady, "Forget it if you cry twice. Stop crying."
The little old lady wiped her tears and asked directly: "Where are the people?"
Ask the Lin family.
Lin Yutong pointed towards the most respectable room of the Jin family. Before the grandparents could turn around, they saw Aunt Jin and Aunt Lin coming out.
Aunt Lin took two quick steps and arrived in front of the little old lady. Without saying a word, she knelt down and said in a low voice, "Auntie, you are the benefactor of the Lin family!" When she said this, there were three "dong-dong-dong" sounds, "those
I have been having a hard time, and I have indeed done a few stupid things with my brother. I have regretted them all these years. I have already received the letter, but I just don’t have the nerve to show up at my aunt’s door. This happened, and nothing else.
Said, aunt... No matter whether aunt asks the children to recognize us or not, you are the benefactor of the Lin family. You did not let the children of the Lin family live in cold and hungry conditions. You raised them so big that you sent them to get married and start a family. You have no selfish motives at all.
Ah. In front of you, the Lin family is ashamed." He said, ringing his head three more times, "I am the mother of the children, and I would like to thank you for your great kindness on behalf of my younger brother and sister who died young."
Lin Yutong was really dumbfounded. No matter how sincere this person was, if he could do this, what should you say to him?
There are so many people here and there watching.
The little old lady pinched her granddaughter and said, "Why don't you help your mother up?"
"Mom!" Lin Yutong called out, then went over to help the person up, "It's cold on the ground, get up."
Aunt Lin stood up and grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, then called a girl in a military uniform and cotton-padded jacket over, "This is your sister, we are only three days apart. Your mother and I got pregnant around the same time, and we both had dystocia.
"Your mother didn't survive, but I managed to survive. When your father gave you away, I was lying on the kang in a daze, not knowing what was going on..."
I want to say that she doesn't agree with giving the child away.
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "It's all in the past. Life in the Lin family may not necessarily be good, and life in the Lin family may not be bad. I have lived quite well these years..." It will be better in the future.
Aunt Lin nodded repeatedly and patted Lin Yutong's hand, looking very pleased.
This is not the place to talk. Relatives came one after another. Aunt Lin went over to help the little old lady, "Auntie, I will take you back, and we will chat with you again."
Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand.
The little old lady took the people away, and Lin Yutong said to Yingzi: "Has this lady always been like this?"
Yingzi nodded, "...that woman is quite afraid of her mother."
With that kind of status in the Lin family, it doesn't matter whether she is the old sister-in-law or the eldest sister-in-law. Anyway, she is almost half a mother-in-law.
"It was a very sad life in the past." Yingzi sighed, "I lived there for a while, and the life of the big house was like eating one meal at a time. My father was blind, and he had many children... It's not like that.
You didn't take care of me... You did, but you really can't take care of me... The second house has a salary and is living a very good life... I heard from my grandma that when my mother was here, the second house subsidized the big house by one or two yuan every month. Later...
...The woman took the money to subsidize her parents' family, but she never gave her a big house... She never asked for a big house... I don't know what happened next..."
Lin Yutong didn't know what to say to Lin Jiacheng.
For his eldest brother, that was really good, but for his own children, he was really not particular about what he did.
After seeing so many people, I can't define Lin Jiacheng.
We were talking about Lin Jiacheng here, but we saw old man Jin coming in with a man in his forties, followed by Lin Yuqi who was limping. Yingzi's expression changed, and he took two steps back, unwilling to step forward.
Lin Yutong knew who this was.
In fact, just by looking at their faces, you can tell that both he and Yingzi look like the man in front of him. On the contrary, Lin Yuqi's round face should look more like his mother.
Lin Jiacheng respectfully offered incense and knelt down to kowtow. Calculated by seniority, he was a junior, so kowtowing was the right thing to do.
He stood up and turned his face. There was a row of people wearing mourning clothes. His eyes quickly locked on Yingzi and Lin Yutong...
