Chapter 91: The End of the Story
Originally, despite the misfortunes that befell the Song, Cheng, and Lu families, Chengmei escaped the crisis because Lu Qian sent her to Song Feng's place, and they lived happily ever after. However, due to the intervention of Heaven, Chengmei and Lu Qian could not escape the reckoning from above, and they were all thrown into a very poor place in the countryside.
With the attention of Heaven, that unknown thing no longer interfered in Chengmei's life. So, one can imagine what kind of life Chengmei, who was always crying, had gone through. Coupled with the hardships of life, Lu Qian became more and more impatient with her. In the end, Chengmei passed away from a serious illness. Lu Qian didn't even want to collect her body. It was the people from the production team who were kind enough to help with a simple burial.
Heaven's will is satisfied, huh? Go ahead and give us a full ending if you dare! Full ending my foot!
Those who dare to pluck its wool but lack the courage to show their faces are looked down upon by Heaven!
Everyone should have their own destiny. What kind of nonsense is this, trying to forcibly change fate? Especially when it's such a disgusting person, it makes even Heaven uncomfortable!
Since you've already delivered it to its doorstep, you deserve your bad luck!
Unlucky Chengmei: ...
Anyway, she's dead now. Before she died, Chengmei felt endless resentment. Why did she have to end up like this?!
Shouldn't she be happily spending her life with Song Feng?
She seemed to see a family's happy smiles before her eyes, and finally closed her eyes reluctantly.
Is she innocent? Who knows?
When Song Feng learned of Cheng Mei's death, he wasn't particularly saddened. He just felt a weight lift from his heart, a sense of relief washing over him. He didn't tell his son about it. After all, Cheng Mei would never appear in his son's life again, so why bother bringing it up and causing him unnecessary trouble?
Watching his son carefully make a gift for Xiaotaohua, Song Feng smiled. His son was doing very well; he had his own friends and was much more cheerful than he had been in the capital.
This is good enough for my life. He will take good care of his son and wait for him to grow up, get married, and have children.
Just imagining that scene made Song Feng feel completely at ease, inside and out; there was nothing happier than that.
Although the Spring Festival in 1965 was lively, it was much calmer than in previous years. People dared not buy expensive gifts; at most, they would give a bag of candy or a piece of meat. They dared not give anything more than that for fear of being arrested.
As in previous years, Lin Guangsheng and his wife brought Xiao Taohua back to the production team for the Spring Festival.
At the dinner table, after the whole family had finished eating, Old Man Lin glanced at Lin Guangsheng.
"What's up?"
Old Lin tapped his pipe: "A little."
Lin Guangsheng nodded, and the two went into the courtyard.
Yin Qing looked at her husband, then at the other people sitting in the room.
Lin Guangyi smiled at his sister-in-law, as did the others.
Yin Qing lowered her eyes, a mocking smile curving her lips.
Little Peach Blossom, oblivious to the strange atmosphere, was counting candy wrappers with Lin Qingshan and the others.
In the courtyard, the father and son found a place to sit down.
"Speak." Lin Guangsheng never liked beating around the bush when dealing with Old Man Lin.
Old Man Lin was used to it and said directly, "Do you still remember the youngest girl in your uncle's family?"
Lin Guangsheng thought for a moment, and finally pulled it out from his memory: "They moved away a long time ago."
"Yes, but we've moved back now."
"Oh." Lin Guangsheng said expressionlessly.
Old Man Lin took a deep breath: "Guangsheng, could you let your uncle's daughter move in?"
Lin Guangsheng looked at the other person with a half-smile.
Old Man Lin felt his back was bent under his son's gaze, but this was the only bloodline left of his brother: "After their family's misfortune, only your sister is left. Now she's divorced with her child and has nowhere to live."
Lin Guangsheng interrupted, "Something happened? What happened?"
Old Man Lin stammered and couldn't get a word out for a long time.
"If you don't explain clearly, there's no point in discussing it."
Old Man Lin was angry, but there was nothing he could do about Lin Guangsheng. He could only say, "It's because his background is unclean."
"Our family has been poor peasants for eight generations and we're still not clean?" This time, Lin Guangsheng was quite surprised. His family had been poor peasants for eight generations, and even going back eighteen generations, they were still poor peasants. Now, hearing that his family had a "dirty" class background was quite shocking.
Old Man Lin knew, of course, that his own family was clean, and that his younger brother's family was clean too, but: "Your uncle's son married into the family."
"What?"
"Your uncle agreed at the time, which means that his household registration was also transferred to the other party's home."
Lin Guangsheng was speechless.
In his view, it was simply unbelievable.
The whole family moved there after the son married into the family; it just doesn't seem right.
"Oh," was the only word Lin Guangsheng could reply with.
“Now that the family your brother married into has run into trouble, it has implicated your uncle and his family, and even your married cousin has been divorced and sent back home. She has nowhere to go, so she can only come back to us.”
"Guangsheng, can you take them in? Don't worry, your house will remain untouched, just give them the empty space in the back."
"Are you sure you haven't caused any other trouble?" Lin Guangsheng didn't want his family to get into trouble because of an outsider.
"I'm sure. I've asked around. She and her son have severed all ties with your uncle and the family she married into."
Another one that's broken off...
Lin Guangsheng didn't immediately agree: "Let me investigate first." But he didn't immediately refuse either.
Seeing that his son was already satisfied, Old Man Lin quickly said, "It's alright, you can investigate slowly. Don't worry, what that girl said is all true. She even swore to God."
Lin Guangsheng, who no longer trusted Song Feng's ex-wife after their experience, nodded and went back inside.
Old Man Lin felt relieved after talking about it.
As everyone watched the two return, Lin Guangyi knew what his father had said, and Lin Guangxing knew as well. Seeing his father's relaxed expression, they figured the matter hadn't had many twists and turns.
After Lin Guangsheng returned, the couple went back to their house.
Old Man Lin whispered this to his wife, and after he finished speaking, he said, "I will have someone investigate this matter. If it is true, I can take him in, but that's all I'll do. He doesn't need to do anything else." It was impossible for him to help them out; they weren't familiar with each other before, and they were unlikely to become familiar with each other in the future.
"Yes, we must investigate carefully; we can't afford to fall into their trap."
Lin Guangsheng held his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, I know. Our family is the most important thing." He couldn't let helping others lead to trouble for himself.
Because this incident happened during the Chinese New Year, Lin Guangsheng contacted someone to go there the next day.
This matter was easy to investigate, but the distance was a bit far, so by the time the investigation results came out, the Lantern Festival had already passed.
Upon seeing the investigation results, Lin Guangsheng breathed a sigh of relief. There was indeed no trouble, and agreeing to Old Man Lin's request was not a problem.
Old Man Lin was overjoyed to receive the letter and immediately arranged for someone to clean the room and then bring the woman back from town. This woman had been staying at the town's guesthouse for some time, and if there hadn't been any news, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.
