Lin Fang and Lin Zhirong ran away from their yard in a panic.
Mr. Huang was lying on the door board, being carried by four women, and they were almost at the courtyard gate.
"Mom!" The two brothers rushed over.
"Mom...what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhirong looked at the person, his face turned pale.
Although Mr. Huang was not affectionate towards either of them on weekdays, this mother was much more reliable than their father!
And his hands are extremely generous.
Let the two of them live in the Lin family like the eldest son and eldest daughter.
In my impression, the calm, elegant and noble mother turned into what she looks like now...
He was sallow, thin, and his eye sockets and cheeks were sunken. His hair was scattered and seemed to be much whiter.
After looking at it for a long time, I vaguely recognized it.
Lin Zhirong was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Lin Tang also shouted unconsciously, "Mother, mother, wake up!"
"What's the fuss about?" came an impatient voice.
Lin Tang brother and sister turned around and saw their eldest brother Lin and his father Lin Hui standing there with a sullen face.
"Uncle, Dad, what's wrong with my mother?" Lin Fang asked.
Uncle Lin has always been elegant and gentle, and he always smiles when he sees the younger generation. It is really rare to see such a face now.
Lin Tang and Lin Zhirong looked at each other. Lin Zhirong couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, Dad! What's wrong with my mother?"
Lin Hui said impatiently: "What's wrong? She lost all her wealth, she can't stand it anymore!"
"What?!" Lin Fang was shocked.
Only he himself knows how much money he has taken from his mother over the years.
His mother's generosity to him was rare among his friends.
So, it will be gone in the future?! My heart suddenly became cold.
Lin Ji frowned and said, "Third brother!" and then directed, "You two, take the third wife back to the house and clean it up. We have already invited the doctor, who will be there soon. Lin Fang, Lin Zhixiu, you two, come here!"
The person carrying Huang continued to move forward and entered the house.
Lin Fang and Lin Zhirong stood there watching, feeling frightened and having no choice but to stand in front of Lin Ji and Lin Hui.
Lin Ji said: "You two are both adults, so don't be so careless! The Lin family will ask doctors to take care of your mother's place. You two... your father and I will go and tell the Wang family tomorrow that we will take care of you."
Your marriage to Wang Xiao has been brought forward! Choose a good day in the near future and you will get married."
Lin Zhirong was stunned and instinctively said, "I won't marry!"
"Nonsense! If you don't get married, your mother has a lot of problems with her job. Do you want to stay at home for three years?" Lin Hui lost his temper.
Mother……
Are they saying that my mother will not survive?
Lin Fang and Lin Zhirong looked at each other and felt themselves trembling.
Lin Ji snorted and looked at Lin Fang, "Lin Fang, you are the eldest son of the third family. During these days... you should stay at home and stay well. Don't go out!"
Lin Tang was shocked: "Uncle, dad..."
He is locked up at home?!
How can that work?
But he didn't dare to say anything after thinking about his mother's appearance just now.
Lin Ji still had a straight face, "Okay, you all go back to your rooms! I'll tell you later after the doctor has finished reading!"
After that, he took Lin Hui and left.
Lin Zhirong and Lin Tang looked at their retreating figures, and then looked at their mother's yard...it was eerily silent.
The two of them walked towards Lin Zhirong's yard in a tacit understanding.
Lin Fang was hanging around in the capital city, so of course he knew the news about the recent shipping accident.
At home, the eldest aunt was involved and lost a lot of money. Now she is locked up and cannot come out.
And my uncle's house is even more chaotic...
After entering the room, neither of them spoke. After sitting in silence for a while, Lin Tang said to Lin Zhirong: "It seems that my mother is also involved in the shipping business. If she had invested more, then..."
Lin Zhirong's voice was hollow, "Brother, judging from the appearance of my mother, and the attitudes of my uncle and father, I think I have invested a lot in it, right? My mother has been missing these past few days..." She didn't dare to think further.
"My uncle is disabled, my aunt has lost money, and now, the house over there... can't even survive. My aunt said it was her mother who made her do it, and passed the blame on her. I went to ask my mother about it. My aunt was fine.
It’s so noisy!”
Lin Zhirong was anxious, "But I heard from my cousin before that it was my aunt who brought up this matter! Behind the scenes, it was my aunt who was taking my mother to make money!"
Lin Fang shook his head, "Auntie, isn't it always like this? Yesterday, I went to Boss Liu to inquire about the news, and the result was that he was dead..."
"Who is Boss Liu?" Lin Zhirong didn't know.
"He takes care of the dowry for my mother. Sometimes, when I need money outside, my mother asks me to take care of him. He takes care of all my mother's property, so he should be doing a good job...but..."
The mother was in a coma and Boss Liu was dead.
What should he do?
He has no private property and spends a lot of money on weekdays, and it is his mother who provides for him.
What to do next?
Lin Zhirong said: "Brother, look at the appearance of uncle and father, mother...can't get better?"
"Uncle said that he had found a doctor, but..." I asked my sister to marry quickly, wasn't it because I was afraid that the three years of mourning at home would be delayed?
The brother and sister have never been more confused.
Lin Tang said: "I'm going back first."
Lin Zhirong didn't respond either, still thinking about his own things.
She didn't want to marry into the Wang family and didn't like Wang Xiao. The thought of getting married to him made her sick to death.
But now, does she still have a choice? If something happens to her mother, she will have to wait until she is twenty.
Then...
She felt like a fish on the shore, breathing hard but getting nothing.
————
The changes in the Lin family made Lin Zhifang, who was pregnant, worried.
She came back to Lin's house.
Let's go to my grandmother's place first. The old lady is very old and has no energy to talk. She stayed there for a while and then came out.
Mother Yuan's courtyard was sealed, and several women guarded the door, preventing her from entering.
Mrs. Liu accompanied her with some embarrassment, "This was the idea of the great-grandfather and the father-in-law. You are pregnant now, so don't get excited. How about you come and sit at my place?"
Lin Zhifang stared blankly at her mother's yard and said nothing.
Mrs. Liu said softly: "Today, my father-in-law and my third uncle went to the Wang family and wanted to advance my second sister's wedding."
Lin Zhifang was even more surprised. So, things are not trivial at Third Aunt's place.
He forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work these days! I'm going to see my second sister, so you don't have to accompany me."
As soon as the girl passed the message, Lin Zhirong came out of the house to pick her up, "Sister is here?!"
Lin Zhifang stepped forward and took Lin Zhirong's hand, "Second sister, I'm worried about the family affairs, so I came to take a look."
"Please come in!"
Lin Zhifang lost her previous aura, her face was noticeably thinner, and her eyes were baggy. She didn't dress up properly, and it seemed like she hadn't slept well for a while...
"Looking at it, my sister has lost a lot of weight." She patted Lin Zhirong's hand and stroked her belly, "Actually, I'm not feeling well. However, I was worried about my family, so I gritted my teeth and came back to take a look, but... my grandmother
I have aged twenty years all of a sudden, I can’t see my mother, I can’t see my third aunt, but my second sister, who has always been so beautiful, is now like this..."
She burst into tears, "What's going on!"
Lin Zhirong's tears also flowed out.
The two sisters, who had never been on good terms, actually cried at each other.
After crying happily, Lin Zhifang realized, "Oh, it's all my fault. I should have come to comfort my sister, but I made her cry." She quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"It feels good to cry a little, but I've been so bored these days!" Lin Zhirong said.
"Sister-in-law just said that your wedding will be brought forward?"
"Well... they are worried that my mother died suddenly!"
For a moment, she hated her father for not having any friendship with her mother. She hated her uncle who seemed gentle but was actually cold-blooded. She even felt that she and her brother were not pitied or loved by anyone.
Lin Zhifang quickly comforted her, "Although my father and third uncle are a little unkind, they are really thinking about you. As a daughter's family, we can only listen to our elders. The second sister has to be more open-minded."
Lin Zhirong wiped his tears silently.
"Has Third Sister come back?" Lin Zhifang asked.
"Hmph! She?! When someone marries into the palace, who else does she have eyes for? It would be better not to come back, but it would be bad to come back! This broom star!"
"Second sister..." Lin Zhifang smiled bitterly, "Oh... The Lin family has encountered a lot of good things in the past two years. My father was even granted the title of nobility. However, I don't know what happened. I used to live a life of wealth and leisure.
One by one, the women who live in the house encounter all bad things..."
"Humph! It's not all bad! Aren't Fourth Aunt and Fang Qunqun very good? Not to mention our Lady Lin!" Lin Zhirong said harshly.
"Well, let's not talk about it... Third sister... I heard that a few days ago, she and three or two of her friends called the most popular opera troupe in the capital into the palace and sang for three or four of them! Ha! It's very generous.
Well…but he didn’t even call his sisters!”
He glanced at Lin Zhirong and hurriedly changed his words, "I didn't want to go...it's just that when Shen Hui asked me that day, I couldn't even reply..."
Lin Zhirong suddenly grabbed Lin Zhifang's hand and said, "Sister, have you noticed... many things happened when Lin Zhixiu came back?!"
My mind suddenly opened up! My eyes gleamed, "Yes! It's her! It's her! Sister, think about it carefully... Think about it, right? The second wife, the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt! Grandmother, eldest aunt and my mother, pile
Everything seems to have her shadow! Grandma and the others must have realized it, so they thought..."
Kill her!
Now that you have thought of it... Lin Zhifang smiled helplessly and shook her head, "Second sister, you know, as the eldest sister, I can never speak or do things according to my temper. I should be cautious in my words and deeds, and restrain myself. Don't jump to conclusions easily, let alone
Don't discuss people's merits..."
Lin Zhirong remembered how much he hated the eldest sister's pretense in the past... But now it seems that those things are just trivial matters!
"But for what you said, second sister, my sister can't find the right words and mood to excuse third sister. It has been less than two years since Lin Zhixiu came back... All these changes in the family are not due to her...
But what’s the reason?”
Lin Zhirong became a little nervous, "Eldest sister is right! If you don't talk about anything else, just take the shipping matter, it was her making money and showing off that made... eldest sister know that my uncle's family is in trouble, right?"
"Well, I heard about it! Mr. Huang Jing... Last year, we went to the Huang family to celebrate his promotion! But now, he is disabled. And the third aunt, who is usually low-key and elegant, actually... I feel really sad in my heart.
It’s sad…”
She lowered her head and cried.
"Big sister..." Lin Zhirong also started crying.
The two sisters actually had a tenderness that they had never experienced before.
After a while, Lin Zhirong said: "This dead girl is a disaster! She killed her parents and even harmed her relatives! I don't believe it..."
Lin Zhifang said, "This means that we sisters are complaining. Do you have any evidence? There is no evidence. With her current status, I can't even scold her! What's more..."
Lin Zhirong was dissatisfied: "Isn't a concubine just a concubine? I think back then, she was still talking about others being concubines. It was her turn, and she had the nerve to do so... How shameless!"
"His Royal Highness, King Cheng, values her very much. King Cheng is so powerful, how can my grandfather and my father stand up to each other... Alas!" She sighed softly.
"Sister, do you have any ideas?"
"To be honest, there is nothing I can do now. I have a good relationship with Princess Qing. However, she is not married yet, and it is not convenient for me to come to her. As the second sister said, Lin Zhixiu is just a
Concubine! The royal concubine has come in, and she has time to vent her anger on us."
Lin Zhirong said: "That's exactly what you said! We must seize everything we can use. I don't believe it..."
