Chapter 438 Jumping into the River
"Why jump into the river when you're angry?"
"It's just grievance!"
"Why jump into the river when you feel wronged?"
Gu Jinfeng: "..."
Gu Jinfeng: I really want to smack her to death with my shoe.
Lin Jiaojiao also noticed it, and honestly pinched her lips, then muttered, "If you have grievances, just speak them out. Why jump into the river? Jumping into the river is called seeking death, not speaking out grievances."
Gu Jinfeng: "..."
"It would be a blessing for anyone to marry you in the future."
Lin Jiaojiao immediately put her hands on her waist and said, "Of course I have a job and can make money. Whoever marries me will be blessed!"
Gu Jinfeng: "..."
——
The Lin family was going to Huang Hongmei's parents' home to announce the death of her. Lin Jingyao was supposed to go, but he just collapsed on the ground and howled, and no one could drag him away.
In the end, the second son of the Lin family had to take Huang Hongmei’s son Hu Zi to his grandmother’s home to report the death.
Lin Jingyao naturally didn't dare to go.
Huang Hongmei died suddenly at such a young age. Her family must have asked her the reason.
If we say that he jumped into the river, how can his wife’s family accept it?
Unless someone has been wronged, who would jump into the river, drink poison or hang themselves?
As long as it is these reasons, there is no doubt that you have been bullied by your in-laws.
If he goes to report a death, won't he become a target?
So he didn't go, mainly because he didn't dare to go.
Not only did Lin Jingyao not dare to report the death, Qiu Yuefang did not dare to go out either.
Wang Xiaohui's family had beaten her badly before.
This time, a life was involved, and she would be even more miserable, so she didn't go out.
Near noon, there was a sudden sound of mourning in the team. Zhong Meixian sat in the house and said, "This must be someone from Huang Hongmei's family."
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Zhong Meixian couldn't help but sigh, "Even the weather is not good."
It was indeed Huang Hongmei’s family that had come. There was a large group of them, about thirty people in total, and the women cried all the way as they entered the Lin family’s courtyard.
Huang Hongmei had already cleaned up and was lying on the floor of the Lin family's main hall.
The second and third wives of the Lin family were guarding the door to the main hall. When Huang Hongmei's family members arrived, they also started crying.
Luo Tian had never experienced such a thing before, and was somewhat afraid of the cold body lying on the ground, so she simply hid back in the house.
As soon as Huang Hongmei's mother entered the house, she knelt down beside the straw mat, one hand on the ground and the other hand on her chest, "My poor girl, why are you so depressed..."
Lin Guangqian asked the second and third sons of the Lin family to find a bench for the man from the Huang family to sit on, and asked them to pour tea.
The Huang brothers didn't buy the market at all, and asked directly, "What's going on?"
"Why did he jump into the river when he was fine?"
The question seemed to be directed at Lin Guangqian, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Jingyao who was kneeling on the ground.
Lin Jingyao was like a mute at this moment, not uttering a word.
Lin Guangqian didn't dare to say anything.
It was Huang Hongmei's eldest daughter who started crying and said, "My mom and my grandma had a fight, and my uncle helped my grandma beat my mom."
Upon hearing this, the man from the Huang family began to look around the house, trying to find Lin Jinghui.
Huang Hongmei's mother first slapped Lin Jingyao on the face and said, "Are you a dead person?"
"Your wife was beaten by your brother, and you didn't say anything. You are such a coward. Are you such a coward?"
Lin Jingyao couldn't help but push his mother-in-law, "It was Jinghui who beat her, not me."
His eldest daughter wanted to say that he also hit her, but she pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just tears falling down her face.
Huang Hongmei's mother stopped beating him and asked, "Where is that damn old woman?"
She knew that Lin Jinghui was wrong, but the old woman Qiu Yuefang would definitely not be able to escape, so she had to find the old woman out.
She just discovered that the old woman Qiu Yuefang had disappeared somewhere.
Her daughter is dead, but this old woman didn't even show up. What a cruel heart!
The men in the Huang family who took the lead in making decisions also spoke at this time, "We must give our family an explanation for this matter. It doesn't make sense that a good-looking girl came to your family, but after only ten years, she is gone.
There is nothing like this anywhere else!"
"That's right, you must give an explanation today!" the man from the Huang family shouted!
Instead of leaving, they spontaneously went to the Lin family's kitchen and started cooking, adding lots of rice, flour and oil.
But most of the things were kept in Qiu Yuefang's room, and what was in the kitchen was only enough for this meal.
Lin Guangqian went to find Qiu Yuefang and said, "You know to hide in the house now. Look at what you have done. Now your house is ruined."
Qiu Yuefang buried her head and said nothing.
"You'll be a turtle now."
The Huang family didn't care about them either. It seemed that there was no explanation. They had to eat at the Lin family at noon and at night.
Some people even went to the Lin family's backyard to catch chickens.
After Lin Guangqian finished scolding Qiu Yuefang, he came out and saw it. He hurried to stop her, "You can't catch it, you can't catch it, it's a hen laying eggs," Lin Guangqian said with a pleading look on his face.
The man who caught the chicken said, "Go, go to the main room and revive the man lying on the ground. Not only this chicken, I will get you three more."
Lin Guangqian became speechless.
The chicken was killed.
Lin Guangqian went to the main hall and kicked Lin Jingyao who was kneeling there, "Get up right there! Look at what has happened to this family."
When the leader of the Huang family heard this, he said, "As long as you give us a word, we will leave without saying anything and will not take anything away from you."
"If you can't give an explanation, huh, he.tui!"
Lin Guangqian was helpless, "We don't want this to happen either!"
Huang Hongmei's mother immediately cried out, "You don't want to, you don't want your family to force my daughter to death?"
"If you don't want it, why isn't it your son or your old lady who died?"
"You don't want to?"
"You'd say something like that if someone dies, right?"
"I'm telling you, you have to explain this matter clearly, otherwise I will never let your family go."
"Wow, my daughter who I raised with great effort, my child who I carried for ten months!"
"Then what do you want to say?" Lin Guangqian could only ask.
"What do you mean?" The person in charge pointed at Huang Hongmei's mother who was crying and shouting, "Look, it's not easy for an old couple to raise a daughter. People say that raising a daughter will give you food, but in the end, your daughter died after only ten years of being in your family."
"How are you going to let the old couple live from now on?"
"Your family doesn't have to pay for the elderly."
Lin Guangqian's cheek muscles twitched. "Then...how much is that?"
"Give me fifty!"
Before Lin Guangqian could say anything, the man said, "Just think about it, if Hongmei hadn't been forced to jump into the river by you, she could have lived for at least another 30 years."
"For thirty years, she bought two dollars' worth of things for her parents every year, so thirty years is sixty dollars!"
"Not much more from you."
Lin Guangqian was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, causing his black cotton-padded jacket to tremble.
Lin Jingyao stopped pretending to be a turtle at this time, "Where can I get so much money?"
The men in the Huang family immediately glared at him, and Lin Jingyao lowered his head again.
The person in charge said, "Take your time to think about it. Anyway, we will not leave for lunch. If you can't come to an agreement, we will just stay here for the night."
At noon, Lin Liansheng went back and relearned the story. Gu Jinfeng immediately said, "You are not allowed to go there in the afternoon. Don't get involved in their family's mess."
