There is no way to investigate further at this point. If I want the most authentic information, I can only meet Miss Lin in person.
That's why Lin Hongwei and his son Lin Jiadong made this visit.
Because of Lin Hongwei's arrival, they didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and Lin Jiadong went straight to the point.
"Ms. Lin, we came here this time mainly to confirm one thing, which is very important to us." He paused here, glanced at Lin Ximan, and saw that she was listening, so he continued:
"Last time when I was in Gusu, I saw Miss Lin wearing a jadeite filigree gold locket. Could you please take it out for us to appreciate?"
When Lin Ximan heard that they wanted to see the golden lock, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, looked at the father and son, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and when she raised her eyes again, she smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."
Soon Lin Ximan came in holding an ebony box, put it on the table, opened the lid to reveal the golden lock inside, and then turned the box in front of the father and son.
Lin Hongwei carefully took out the gold lock inside. After confirming with many parties, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and took out a gold lock from the handkerchief. He compared the two gold locks together and the result was obvious. They were made by the same person and were exactly the same. The difference was that in a hidden corner, the three micro-carvings on them had different words.
The one that Lin Ximan has engraved with Lin Hongzhi on it, while the one that Lin Hongwei has engraved with his own name.
It can be confirmed that this gold lock belongs to his third brother, so how did this gold lock end up in the hands of this girl?
"Ms. Lin, can I ask you about this gold lock?" Lin Hongwei spoke.
At this time, Lin Ximan also vaguely guessed who these two people were. She was now considering whether or not to tell them the truth.
She was afraid of trouble, afraid that there would be trouble after recognizing her relationship, but when she thought about the fact that her original father didn't know his own life experience until his death, and he was a pitiful man, she decided to let him recognize his ancestors.
"This gold lock is a relic of my father. He died when I was thirteen. I got this gold lock from my grandmother, but the process was a little tortuous."
"Ms. Lin, to be honest with you, this gold lock belongs to my third brother, but we were separated in our early years. If this gold lock is really your father's, then I am your uncle, so can you tell me more details?"
Hearing this, Lin Ximan sighed, stood up and walked to the inner room, took out a tape recorder, pressed the play button, and the sound of the tape turning came out.
"I think the things here should be able to answer your questions." Lin Ximan said and sat back.
In fact, when they first came to see Jinsuo, she guessed that these two people might be relatives from the original owner's father's side, so she played the tape.
There was little blank time, and soon an old woman's voice came into the recorder, "Thirty-six years ago, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, at the gate of Maria Hospital in the French Concession in Hai City, Song Fengxia handed me a boy wrapped in a small red blanket and asked me to take him back to my hometown in Northeast China. The child had a leaf-shaped birthmark on his buttocks and a gold lock around his neck. That's all."
"What's your name, and what's your relationship with Song Fengxia?"
"My name is Fei Zhen. Before liberation, I worked as a servant in the same household as her. Later, I was fired by the master because I did something wrong.
A year later, I met her when I was working in the French Concession, and that's how we kept in touch again. When the Japanese attacked, my employer wanted to move away and laid us all off, but unexpectedly Song Fengxia found me and asked me to leave later, as she would give me money to let me stay in Hai City for a while.
A few months later, she asked me to wait for her at Maria Hospital, and then she gave me money and the child and asked me to return to my hometown. We kept in touch at first, but we lost contact after the movement started.
"When was the last time she was in touch? Where is she? What does she do?"
"In 1966, she sent someone to bring me a letter, saying that she would not give me any more money and I could do whatever I wanted with it. At that time, she was still in Haishi, and from the tone of the person who brought the letter, it sounded like she was in GW Club."
After listening to this passage, Lin Hongwei's eyes began to turn red, and tears appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to ask questions, a second question came from the recorder, this time it was another woman's voice.
"Where is the child you took out of Maria Hospital in the French Concession before the bombing in 1937 now? Whose child was it? Why did you take the child away?..."
This question was mixed with pain and wailing, but no one cared. When Lin Hongwei heard that the child's father was Lin Haisheng, the weaving king of Hai City, she shed tears.
These two recordings can confirm that Song San is his younger brother and Lin Ximan is his niece. It's just that they found them too late, and his third brother will never see his biological parents again.
His third brother grew up being tortured by such people and never had a good day. He hated it!
"Manman, where are these two people now?" Lin Hongwei asked gritting his teeth, and the way he addressed Lin Ximan changed from Miss Lin to Manman.
"We have dealt with them long ago, including the two brothers from the Sun family, but that little devil has not been found yet."
Lin Ximan did not hide anything. It can be heard from the recording that the person questioning the question used some tricks, but the voice of the person questioning the question was processed. It is not known whether it is a man or a woman, but it should be her niece's.
Looking at where the little niece lives now, it is clear that this little niece is not an ordinary person. This is good and they can rest assured. After all, their main force is still in the United States. If something really happens to the little niece in China, they are out of reach.
