As soon as she heard that Meng Lan was sent to help redress grievances, Mrs. Lin's eyes immediately changed. She quickly wiped her hands on the dirty clothes: "They are the people sent by the patriarch. Adults, please come in quickly."
, please come in quickly."
It was a small, gloomy room. Jian Yu didn't care and walked inside.
Old Mrs. Lin followed, and just as she was about to go in, she saw her grandson in the yard.
Although the child is getting older and it is impossible for him to know everything, there are some things he still doesn’t want to say in front of him.
Old Mrs. Lin said to the child: "Xiaobao, please go out and play for a while."
But Xiaobao shook his head.
He doesn't want to go out. Even though he is a child, he knows who likes him and who doesn't. Children outside don't like him.
Old Mrs. Lin did not call her grandson, but was a little apologetic. She explained to Jian Yu: "This child was not like this before. Ever since something happened at home, he has become a bit withdrawn. Children outside are not willing to play with him, so he often just stays alone."
People are at home."
Even though he is a child, everyone can understand.
Who wants to play with a group of people who don't like themselves?
Bai Yue said: "It's okay, Lin Yi, just keep an eye on it and take the kids to play for a while."
Lin Yi had never taken care of a child before, so she was a little embarrassed. But during this period, she often took care of Bai Yue's team, and she guessed that it would be similar to taking care of a child. Feeding her with delicious food, coaxing her with nice words, and stroking her hair would be enough.
"Okay." Lin Yi responded: "Don't worry, I'm the best at taking care of children."
Xiaobao, who was poking the soil with a stick on the ground, looked at Lin Yi and said nothing.
The house was too small. After Jian Yu and Bai Yue entered, plus Mrs. Lin, it felt crowded.
However, it can be seen that the old lady is a tidy person, shabby but tidy up. Jian Yu and Bai Yue sat down at the table, and she even poured a glass of water for each of them.
Plain water, no tea.
"You're welcome." Jian Yu politely refused.
Old Mrs. Lin didn't try to persuade them. Although neither Bai Yue nor Jian Yu showed any signs of disdain, she actually knew in her heart that these two people were dressed more elegantly than those under Meng Lan.
Mrs. Lin also sat down: "What do you want to ask?"
Bai Yue said: "I would like to ask how long you and your son have lived together."
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment: "What does this mean? He is my son..."
"I know Lin Jin is your son, but mother and son may not always live together." Bai Yue said: "I heard people say that you are from other places. Where were you from before coming to Hani City? It seems
It’s from Dazhou. Where do you live in Dazhou specifically?”
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Bai Yue would come and ask about her past affairs.
"We are indeed from Dazhou, and we live in..." Old Mrs. Lin reported a place name: "That place is surrounded by mountains. It is a small village at the foot of the mountains. It is very remote. You two have probably never heard of it."
When the place name was announced, Jian Yu and Bai Yue were shocked.
The address Mrs. Lin mentioned was actually Mullin Town.
Jian Yu thought to himself, he didn't expect that in the small village of Mulin Town, he could meet Bai Yue's fellow villagers. It was really not easy.
What Bai Yue was thinking was, screw it, what kind of bullshit luck is this? Why did she come here? There were only so many people in a small village on the back of that poor place in Muling Town. Why did she meet someone here?
What should we do now?
Unless Old Mrs. Lin has been away from Mullin Town for more than ten years, otherwise, how could she not recognize her? Even if she doesn’t recognize her at first glance, she will recognize her after a closer look.
Mrs. Lin suddenly realized that there must be something wrong with what she said just now, because Bai Yue and Jian Yu's expressions were a little strange now. But their expressions were a little different, and she couldn't tell what she said for a while.
inappropriate.
At this time, Jian Yu also recovered from the surprise of meeting a fellow villager for Bai Yue. There was something wrong, Bai Yue didn't recognize her.
However, Jian Yu didn't think too much. He was a normal person and imagined in a normal direction: "How long has it been since you left Mullin Town?"
Old Mrs. Lin also began to mutter in her heart, but she still said: "Five or six years ago, I have not been in good health in the past two years, and I can't remember many things clearly."
This was the time they came to Hani City. It would be inappropriate to say it any longer.
It is even more impossible that it was five or six years ago. Bai Yue did not have amnesia. How could she not recognize Mrs. Lin? Moreover, how could Mrs. Lin not recognize her?
But Jian Yu would not doubt Bai Yue. Bai Yue's place of origin was not a shameful place. There was nothing to conceal, it was just where he was.
So the only one who lied was Mrs. Lin.
Why should she hide her origins?
Bai Yue didn't speak for a while. After all, she had a guilty conscience and was in a crazy brainstorm, thinking about how to deal with this sudden and strange scene.
But Jian Yu had already spoken.
"Mulin Town, I've been there." Jian Yu asked, "Is there a bamboo forest in the east of that town and a river beside the bamboo forest? I have a friend who lives there."
Mrs. Lin's expression changed slightly.
She never expected that Jian Yu had been to such a poor and desolate village in the mountains that someone had accidentally mentioned, and could explain it so clearly. What would she do now?
Old Mrs. Lin knew she had to answer something, but for a moment, she didn't dare to answer it so quickly. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would cause trouble.
To be able to handle Lin Jinji's case on behalf of the Meng Lan clan leader, the two people in front of them must be capable, and they may not be able to fool around casually.
For a short moment, it seemed like everything was calm among the three people in the room, but in fact, things were turbulent.
But Jian Yu's probing sentence was so good that Bai Yue knew that he was talking nonsense, but Old Mrs. Lin didn't know. After hearing this probing sentence, Old Mrs. Lin's expression immediately gave Bai Yue a guess.
She doesn't seem to be from Mullin Town. Otherwise, when testing Jian Yu, whether it's right or wrong, she shouldn't have this expression.
In the flash of lightning, Bai Yue had a flash of inspiration in his heart. He understood and relaxed.
It’s true that she has never been to Mullin Town. This old lady Lin is also lying.
Bai Yue immediately relaxed.
She smiled and said: "Actually, I am from Mullin Town. Mrs. Lin, which family are you from? How come I have never seen you before?"
The expression on Mrs. Lin's face suddenly froze.
What she was thinking at this time was exactly the same as Bai Yue just now.
What a ghost. There are only a few households in that poor village. How could I meet someone from Mullin Town in such a distant place? What should I do now? How can I make up for this?
Bai Yue would never give her a chance to go anywhere.
"Old Mrs. Lin, you want us to find out the truth about that year. It's not difficult, but you have to tell the truth." Bai Yue said: "If you hide something, people will have to suspect that you poisoned the Lu family back then.
Bakou, could it be you who killed your son and daughter-in-law?"
