Old Movies of the Republic of China(13)

It’s not that Lin Yutong is overly concerned, it’s just that there is something fishy about this matter. Are there really such coincidences in this world? Well! It’s a coincidence. But it doesn’t make sense logically! For example, there is such a pair of bracelets at home, and they are replaced.

The money is enough for the family to live in peace for decades. In Lin Yuhuai's words, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with his father. It should be that his mother left because of hard times. He has reached the point where he has to leave home, so why should he stay?

Wearing this bracelet? Isn’t it unreasonable? Moreover, he also said that his mother-in-law came back a few years ago and found it through begging. This is even more strange! Where is the child and the bracelet she took out? Maybe

Would you put such a bracelet on a child? Could it be that the bracelet was lost together with the child? In such a chaotic situation, one’s own child can’t even feed himself, so who would steal a three-year-old girl? So, it’s okay to say that the bracelet was stolen.

, but it doesn’t make sense that the child was stolen together. But if the bracelet and the child were lost separately...this is also wrong, and that doesn’t explain why the bracelet is on her. Unless she is not the daughter of this family.

Lin Yutong took the poached eggs out of the pot and put them in a bowl, while adding noodles to the pot. He listened to the fourth master talking to Lin Yuhuai.

"Perhaps this bracelet was accidentally obtained by my wife?" Fourth Master poured water for the other party, "I wonder if there is any evidence?"

Lin Yuhuai smiled bitterly: "I stood outside the door for a long time. This is the reason why I didn't come in. I was also afraid that things would be wrong for people." After saying that, he saw Lin Yutong who was busy, "If I remember correctly, my sister has something on her back.

There is a red birthmark, like a strawberry, in the middle of the back. Of course, as the child grows up, the shape and color may change. In addition, my sister has a burn on her right arm, which was caused by my mother.

Be careful if you get burnt by the cigarette rod. I don’t know if the scar is still there?”

Lin Yutong didn't know if there was a birthmark on her back, but there was indeed a scar on the right arm of the original owner, but the scar removal cream she had applied this year had already faded away. But it was not true that there was no trace left at all.

She stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks and looked at the fourth master. The fourth master nodded to Lin Yutong. There was indeed a small red birthmark on the back of this body. No one else would know this.

Putting these two points together, it is basically certain that Qi Zhen may have met a relative of the original owner.

Lin Yuhuai's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. "Really? I really found it." He murmured. Obviously, all this seemed not to be within his expectation. The reason why he came to the door was probably to try his luck.

.with the thought of 'maybe'.

Lin Yutong took out the noodles, poured the homemade soy sauce meat sauce on top, and brought up a plate of sliced ​​soy sauce beef, "Eat first! Let's talk after you finish eating."

Lin Yuhuai waved his hand and said, "I won't eat anymore. The old lady is still waiting at home."

"I have to clean up when I go out. I have enough time for a meal now." Lin Yutong handed over the chopsticks, and Lin Yuhuai had to pick up the chopsticks and eat them. Lin Yutong picked up the meatloaf that had been placed next to the stove and looked at it.

He looked at it and saw that both sides were browned, so he put it on a plate and handed it to him. A bowl of noodles was obviously not enough for a young man who had been hungry for a long time.

The doubts in Lin Yutong's heart were one after another, but not all were relieved because of the birthmark and scar.

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong: "Hurry up and change clothes first. Let's go take a look before we go out." If there is something unreasonable here, only the person involved can explain it clearly.

Lin Yutong responded and went directly to the inner room. It was a lot of trouble with a cotton cheongsam, a woolen coat, a scarf and a hat. When he came out, he took out the fourth master's clothes and put them on for him.

Lin Yuhuai also finished eating. Seeing that both of them had packed up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's go. The doctor said that the old lady has been here for the past two days. I went out early this morning, and I'm still at home.

I’m really worried.”

Lin Yutong responded, and went to the kitchen when he went out. When he came out, he carried a cloth bag, and the fourth master took it in his hand. There were a few fruits in it. It was his first time to come to the door, whether it was real or not.

Relatives, relying only on Lin Yuhuai's help on the road, cannot go there empty-handed, which would be disrespectful of etiquette.

When going out on a snowy day, a rickshaw is not as good as a mule cart. At least the mule cart can block the cold wind. So when they came out of the alley, Fourth Master waved for the mule cart. Lin Yuhuai told the place, and the three of them got on the car.

Sitting like this on the road, I didn't know where to start talking. I walked all the way in silence.

When they got out of the car, Lin Yutong was really shocked. From the outside, this house was not small.

Lin Yuhuai smiled helplessly at the two of them, "The Lin family has many descendants, and this house is packed with dozens of families, large and small."

Lin Yutong nodded. The tree had big branches and several generations of people were crowded together. This was not the case.

Just as he was about to go inside, he saw a woman coming out. She was stunned when she saw Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, and then said to Lin Yuhuai on the side: "Huaizi is back, go back quickly. Your mother-in-law looks a little bad."

Already."

Lin Yuhuai's expression changed, "Thank you, Fifth Aunt."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yutong and hurriedly ran inside. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were not slow in their steps and hurriedly chased after him.

The fifth aunt made a clicking sound. Did she really find her lost daughter? She looked like a rich person.

The houses in Wujin were divided into parts here and there. Some of the originally old houses had kitchens and utility rooms built outside, which further ruined the houses and made them look like a large courtyard.

It was snowing and it was very cold. Children were not afraid of the cold. They were running around all over the yard. I also heard a woman quarreling, as if they were fighting over who burned two pieces of briquettes from whose house.

Seeing Lin Yuhuai leading the people back, many people came out of the house and gathered together to say something in lowered voices.

Lin Yutong has always had a sharp ear and eyesight, and can still hear fragments of words even from a distance.

"Didn't you say that Lao Qi's family sold their daughter? How come they can still get her back?"

"Who knows? It's always good to find out."

"You said that we are responsible for our duties, but why are we not as lucky as the Seven Gods? Can we find our daughter who was thrown away?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful Huaizi hears it."

"I heard, my mother took the girl and ran away with someone back then. Why did she run away from home? Did she coax ghosts?"

The sound reached her ears, but there were many people talking, so she didn't take it to heart. Besides, it was because of Lin Yuhuai's reputation that she came here today.

After entering the third house, Lin Yuhuai went directly to the east wing, "This way." He looked back and pointed to Lin Yutong and Fourth Master. There was medicine boiling at the door, gurgling, and Lin Yutong smelled it.

It's ginseng soup. Life is hard, but Lin Yuhuai is still filial to the elderly. These slices of old ginseng cost more than ten yuan.

"Brother, are you back?" The door curtain was lifted, and a small girl came out. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Lin Yutong was confused again and couldn't help but look at Lin Yuhuai. Lin Yuhuai looked a little uncomfortable and pointed inside, "Go in first. I will explain to you later."

When the girl saw Lin Yutong, she quickly lowered her head. She looked a little timid and said, "Please... please come inside."

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong looked at each other, but they hurriedly walked inside. Entering the house, there was a stove on one side. The fire was burning under the stove, the lid on the pot was not covered, and there was a steamer on top that was about to be steamed.

Wotou, it's not cold in the room. On the other side is the chopping board and cupboard, which are neatly tidied up. Further inside is the dining table, and there are no more things to carry. Lin Yutong looked up and saw the curtain of the East Room shaking, knowing that he was going to the East Room.

went.

"Eniang...Eniang..." Lin Yuhuai's voice was urgent, "Wake up, wake up, I got my sister back. Open your eyes and take a look."

Lin Yutong quickly walked in and saw someone lying on the kang. Lin Yuhuai was swaying from side to side with an anxious look on her face. She walked over and said, "Get out of the way first. Let me take a look." She said and pulled the woman directly.

He felt the pulse with his hand, then took out the acupuncture bag directly from his pocket and pricked it on the woman's head.

"This..." Lin Yuhuai was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to step forward, but was grabbed by the fourth master who came in, "Wait a minute! She has good medical skills."

As soon as the words were finished here, there was a groan from the kang over there.

woke up?

Lin Yuhuai then came closer and said, "Mom, wake up. I have found my sister."

"My daughter is back! Is my daughter back?" This loud voice contained a cry, not from the woman on the kang, but from a male voice coming from outside. Lin Yutong was startled.

Followed by a timid voice: "Dad...Dad...the needle is being inserted inside. Please don't make any noise..."

"Go away!" The voice was a bit angry, "Who is your father? You are a bastard, you are worthy of being called my father! My daughter is back! You are worthy of being my daughter. Get out of here..."

Lin Yutong frowned, why is this family so messed up?

Lin Yuhuai turned around and shouted outside: "Okay! Stop making noise."

Suddenly, there was a mute fire outside. But the door curtain still opened a gap, and a pair of gurgling eyes looked inside, but they never came in. It was obvious that the father was very afraid of his son.

"Ahem..." The person on the kang finally made some movement and slowly opened his eyes, "Found... found your sister?"

"Found it." Lin Yuhuai stepped aside a little so that the people on the kang could see Lin Yutong clearly.

The person on the kang met Lin Yutong's eyes, and tears immediately fell down, "It's my daughter...it's Tongtong." Her voice was not high, but she spoke clearly. She raised her hand, as if she wanted to pull Lin Yutong, "

I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you..."

"Bah!" The people outside spoke again, "Now I know I'm sorry for my daughter. Why didn't I know I was sorry for my daughter when I ran away with the wild man? You ran away, and this family doesn't care about you. You bitch

You are so cruel, you actually took my daughter and ran away with someone. Run away, don't come back! If you come back, I will not be able to get married. I won't say anything to you. You, he

Mother left my own daughter and came back with a bastard in her belly." As she said that, she started crying again, "My daughter! What a miserable life you have! How did you end up with this mother?"

Lin Yutong felt like his head was filled with blood.

Mother Lin's face on the kang became paler and paler. Lin Yuhuai suddenly stood up and shouted outside: "Can you please calm down? It's not embarrassing!"

The sound outside was like turning off the switch instantly, and there was no sound at all.

Mother Lin looked at Lin Yutong and waved her hand to Lin Yuhuai: "Your Ama is right! I can't forgive you... I don't have much time left to live. I haven't said anything in these years since I came back. My son is filial and nothing."

I didn’t even ask. I have taken care of my sick mother all these years, and I still have to feed Yangzi and Xingzi..."

Lin Yutong's mind was spinning again. The girl outside the house was Xingzi. Who was this Yang Zi?

Mother Lin glanced outside the house, and then said: "I have to give you an explanation before I die." She raised her finger and pointed outside, her voice suddenly became louder, "Lin Dehai, you still have the nerve to say. I was

Why did you leave? Don't flatter yourself. You fell in love with a slave girl and insisted on redeeming her to become a second wife. Accept it, you shouldn't have your thoughts on my dowry. You still

Do you think you are a father? Since I entered your house, you have relied on my dowry to survive. The remaining pair of heirloom bracelets you have to give to the kiln sister as a betrothal gift. What are you doing?

Don’t give us, mother and son, a way to survive!”

"What's wrong with men taking concubines?" Lin Dehai shouted again outside, "I want to take concubines, so you find a wild man and run away!"

Mother Lin's face suddenly stiffened and she let out a sob.

From the intermittent narration, Lin Yutong realized that the gossip of those women when they entered the door just now was not groundless. Mother Lin had indeed run away with a man. The man was a doctor who traveled around the streets, because of this
