Chapter 2, Lin Baqian

I really dislike him, yet I still make extra meals for him every time

You should also sit down and clarify things. I sensed that something was amiss, so I moved a stool and had the person who came today take a seat.

Grandfather's complexion changed from yellow to red in that instant, and then from red to white! His eyes were wide open and round!

The Kuomintang's Lin Laomeo actually has a concubine in Liaocheng, Shandong, and a son, who has now come looking for him

But I was pulled by my grandmother by the ear. She took a few deep breaths, seemingly suppressing her anger, and shouted at my grandfather: "You stay there and do not speak!"

On the way to the funeral, the grandmother who had bullied grandfather for a lifetime shed two lines of blood tears, fainted several times, and even banged her head against the coffin

I do not know anything else; my mother told me that Lin Lao is my father, so I came to find him. The person looked at my grandfather and said with a half-smile.

Uncle Er is an extremely taciturn person. After coming to my home, he smiles when he sees me but has never spoken a word to me. During meals, he simply eats in silence, and after finishing, he returns to his small room

Just for this action, my grandmother, who has always been in pain, shot me a glare. Indeed, a jealous woman can be quite terrifying

Because the entire village shares the surname Lin, my grandfather was buried in the ancestral grave according to tradition, and his memorial tablet was also placed in the ancestral hall

However, overall, the home has settled down

The old lady is jealous, and a shoe killed Lin Lao.

Therefore, you could say that the situation in my home is quite chaotic. An elderly person has just passed away, and a love child has come forward. My grandmother has also fallen ill

I stayed at home alone to take care of my grandmother, encouraging her to regain her spirits. My grandfather's death was not caused by him. There is no need for guilt. As I was comforting my grandmother with these words, I suddenly felt a jolt in my heart.

Chicken | Ba's Song Zhi Yin, how could I possibly know her! Grandfather immediately stood up again, but was shot down by a glare from Grandmother.

This is undoubtedly explosive news in this small mountain village, becoming a topic of discussion in every household

He did not explain anything, only saying one sentence: "It is you." However, just this one sentence confirmed the identity of the person who came.

Grandfather's death was an accident, but the cause of this accident was either Grandmother or Second Uncle. It is evident that it was the latter, yet I feel no hatred towards this mysterious Second Uncle

At that moment, Grandma took off the other shoe and threw it at Grandpa's head

Due to my grandfather's passing, it was quite discordant. Moreover, it was the height of summer, and the body had already begun to decompose after two days. Therefore, we did not adhere to the custom of keeping the body in the hometown for three days. Instead, after preparing the coffin and the materials for the ceremony the following morning, we proceeded with the funeral.

Equally lacking in culture, she could only utter one phrase: "Old man, I am sorry for you"

"Indeed, Grandpa, this is what is called an alibi. Sir, you may have truly mistaken the person." I replied to him as well. Seeing Grandpa's expression at this moment was simply too pitiful, and I was not prepared to continue watching the joke unfold.

She walked over, looked around this person, and asked: "What is your mother's name?"

Because my uncle hardly speaks, he wears clothes that are completely out of place in this mountain village, yet he followed my father to the fields to work the day after my grandfather's burial

Grandfather has passed away. Just like that, he is gone

Grandmother is completely exhausted; since Grandfather's passing, she has not eaten or drunk anything, and her voice has become hoarse from crying. The rural primary school has its advantages; upon learning about our family's situation, the village chief simply granted a half-month break from school, allowing me to take care of family matters first, and everything else can be discussed later

Grandmother has truly become strong and resilient, while my second uncle has joined my father in farming. Two able-bodied men are no longer satisfied with the land they used to cultivate at home. I heard my father say that in a few days they would go to the mountains to clear new land

I believe that grandfather should be punished, because his statement "it is you" indicates that he has acknowledged his responsibility

Do you really not remember me? Liaocheng, Shandong, that night, you even gave my mother a pistol that you had obtained from the Japanese devils and the *illustrated* books, oh no, it was left with her. " This person said with a smile, staring at grandfather.

In the end, I understand that when a grandfather passes away due to old age, it can be regarded as a joyous occasion in rural areas.

But at that moment, Grandpa suddenly shouted loudly, "It’s you!"

The family is already poor, to the extreme, so there is no fear of anyone coming to争 for the inheritance. Even if there were, given my father's character, he is not the kind of person to do that

Things are developing in a direction that they should not have taken. For a family living in the mountains, having one more person is merely adding an extra bowl of water when cooking and an additional pair of chopsticks at mealtime.

She just needs time to adjust, I thought.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Tell me, who sent you to ruin my reputation?" Upon hearing these words, Grandpa instantly erupted with anger

Logically speaking, with my grandmother's temperament, even after my grandfather's passing, she would not be able to accept me as an outsider uncle

Yet, everything is in a state of chaotic order

Grandfather's expression changed significantly, as if he were deep in thought

If I were him, I would not stay in this small mountain village

I am even quite intrigued by this person who suddenly intruded into my home. Having grown accustomed to the cold realities of urban life, I cannot comprehend why my uncle, who possesses a rather distinguished demeanor, would come to our house and seemingly intend to stay for an extended period.

Two individuals from different worlds suddenly merge into one world, which is quite disconcerting

One might say something quite piercing: this person appears to be very wealthy, at least based on their demeanor.

I will not elaborate further; there is truly nothing in my home that is worth others' concern. However, I still pay attention to my second uncle, as I always feel that he seems to have something on his mind

Everyone was crying, perhaps among the crowd, there were two people who did not cry: one was my mother, quietly following the funeral procession in her white mourning attire, and the other was my newly arrived second uncle. Some neighbors scolded him, but I did not, because after all, I am a university student

"Xiao Fan, rest assured, Grandma is fine. It's just that after a lifetime with Grandpa, having bullied him all those years, now that no one is bullying him anymore, he is just not used to it. Your grandpa was honest and straightforward all his life, and even at the end, he didn't act otherwise. He surprised Grandma with this turn of events, and I hadn't even had the chance to scold him before he passed away," Grandma said, tears in her eyes.

The coffin was made by my father and this man together, so I should now call him "Second Uncle." My father is a good man, honest as well, and he quickly accepted this half-brother.

What is there here that is worth my staying? - If I had money.

Some things are not difficult to understand; for a father who passed away shortly after being met, being able to cry would be unusual

In my family, there has been a tradition of having only one son for several generations. However, with my father, suddenly there appeared a brother. I can tell that my father is happy about this. On the other hand, my grandmother's attitude towards my second uncle is very conflicted and helpless

Rest assured, grandmother will be fine. Go bring food to grandmother. I will not die until I have seen my granddaughter-in-law.

However, I did not laugh, because I saw my grandfather roll his eyes, lie straight down on the ground, and foam at the mouth

"Where are you from?" Grandma asked, as if she were a detective

I did not refuse him, because my home has indeed become a complete mess

"Song Zhiyin," he said

"Eat your meal, you talk too much, he is your second uncle," my father said with a laugh and a scold.

Shandong Liaocheng," he said

However, this time she actually acquiesced. Perhaps it can be said that she no longer has the energy to care about these matters

My grandmother is also rising with half-belief and half-doubt at this moment, saying to the young man: "You might have mistaken the person, although you do resemble my son, the timing does not match."

When did I ever go to Liaocheng, Shandong? This time, my grandfather completely exploded in anger. He stood up and said to my grandmother, "Wife, do you know when I have ever been away from home for more than a day after we got married? How could I possibly go to Liaocheng, Shandong, to do something that would betray you?"

They even paid me a month's salary in advance

I asked my father, "Do you think he might have committed a crime in the city and fled here to seek refuge?"

As soon as Grandma saw this, she wanted to take off the other shoe
