Hail suddenly fell in the city, shattering many roof tiles with a crackling sound. But in Linjiagou Village, it was a rare sunny day, so sunny that even Yue Jiuyue felt drowsy.
Half-asleep, Yue Jiuyue suddenly lost the will to work hard. This kind of carefree, leisurely life was the happiest life ever!
Of course, she could only think about it. She had already scouted out where she would make money that night, and now she was just waiting for it to get dark.
Before dinner, Lin Chaonan suddenly returned from town and went to Yue Jiuyue's house. He didn't say a word, but kept glancing at Yue Jiuyue, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't, which made Yue Jiuyue's teeth ache.
"What's wrong? If you want to talk, then talk. If you don't want to talk, then get out. Don't dawdle here."
Yue Jiuyue was very impatient, almost rolling her eyes.
She was just waiting to finish dinner and for everyone to fall asleep so she could go out and earn money; she had no time to guess what he was thinking.
“Mother, it’s like this. A few days ago, I found out that someone in town who served in the army a few years ago wrote home. So I asked his family to ask him to inquire about someone named Lin Chaoxi when they replied to him. Today, we received a reply, and the person said he had never heard of him.”
At this point, Lin Chaonan choked up and could no longer continue.
He hadn't been unaware of this outcome; after all, so many years had passed without any news, how could he possibly find them so easily?
However, when he actually heard that the person could not be found, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
Six years! His second brother has never written home since he went to serve in the military. They don't even know where he went. Even if they wanted to write a letter, they didn't know the address or where to send it.
In recent years, his family has suffered from one disaster after another, so no one has gone to serve in the military, and no one has helped him inquire about it. When he finally heard that someone serving in the military was writing home, he couldn't wait to ask that family to help him inquire...
He didn't want to tell Yue Jiuyue the news, but Lin Chaoxi was also Yue Jiuyue's son. If he didn't tell Yue Jiuyue about the news about Lin Chaoxi, he would feel that he was being unfilial and would be letting down both Yue Jiuyue and Lin Chaoxi. So, he closed the shop before closing time and came back to tell Yue Jiuyue the bad news.
Yue Jiuyue was at a loss for how to react.
Upon hearing news of Lin Chaoxi, even an ordinary person with no connection to him would feel sad, and she was no exception.
However, given her identity as Lin Chaoxi's mother, she felt that her behavior might seem somewhat cold-hearted. Yet, she didn't know how sad and heartbroken a mother would feel upon hearing this news, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
In Lin Chaonan's view, Yue Jiuyue was stunned with grief upon hearing the news, as if she were trapped in a nightmare due to overwhelming sorrow. Fearing that something might happen to Yue Jiuyue, he quickly called out softly:
"Mother, Mother, wake up! Mother, Mother, snap out of it, Mother..."
Over and over again, I felt guilty and heartbroken.
He regretted it. He shouldn't have said that news. Anyway, it wasn't his second brother who found the information, so what difference did it make whether he said it or not?
