Chapter 125 Have they got their marriage certificate?
Dashan Village, Shan City
It was the slack season for farming, and the villagers had nothing to do after dinner, so the young and old gathered at the village entrance to chat. Naturally, the topic they talked about most was about Uncle Lin's family affairs.
A few days ago, Lin Da, his wife and their youngest son went to steal tiles from their brother's house to build a new house. The whole family was taken away by the police, and the incident became a laughing stock in their village and several surrounding villages.
There was another thing that was even more hilarious. The green tile roof of the Lin family's first house was lifted up by the Lin second family. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily that morning right after the roof was lifted up, and the uncovered house of the Lin family was soaked through.
After being interrogated by the town police, it was revealed that Uncle Lin's family, having attempted to use connections to enlist their youngest son, was rejected by the Lin family, and, harboring resentment, deliberately stole a tile from the Lin family. After reporting the case to the police, the family denied the charges. This multiple offense, combined with ideological problems, led to the family being sent to Xinshi for forced labor.
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were the most guilty, being the masterminds who instigated their son to commit the crime and were sentenced to ten years of forced labor.
The eldest son of the Lin family and Lin Dada's daughter-in-law knew about the crime but did not report it, and helped their family to get backdoor treatment, and were sentenced to four years of labor reform.
The youngest son of the Lin family was convicted of theft and insulting women and sentenced to death.
When Lin Jianguo arrived at the Public Security Bureau, perhaps because he was too timid, the police threatened him and he told them everything about how he had insulted a female comrade from a neighboring village half a year ago.
After being insulted, the woman didn't dare report the crime and locked herself up in her house, refusing to come out to see anyone. When the police came to her house and announced the arrest of the perpetrator, she discovered the scoundrel who had insulted her was actually her classmate, the honest Lin Jianguo...
The villagers were all very sad when they learned from the team leader how Lin Da's family was treated.
The Lin family used to live in a big house with blue bricks and tiles. Their son had a job in the city and their daughter also married into the city. Who in the village wouldn't be envious?
Now the whole family has been sent to labor camp, and the youngest son still has to eat peas!
Once the chatterboxes at the village entrance started talking, they couldn't stop. Everyone poured out what they knew to appear more knowledgeable.
A middle-aged man laughed and said, "Lin Jianguo was arrested for stealing, but how did he get convicted of insulting a woman? I don't think any of you know this. I'm the only one who knows."
When he said this, everyone was extremely curious. They had heard that Lin Jianguo wanted to eat flower rice and thought it was a rumor. Later, the team leader was called in by the county and scolded. They heard about the verdict of Lin's family from the team leader and realized that it was true.
Everyone urged the middle-aged man to speak quickly, but he deliberately took a few breaths before speaking.
"My relative is a police officer in town. Word spread throughout the town police station that the officer who interrogated Lin Jianguo was a veteran. After questioning him about the theft, he threatened him as usual, saying if there was anything else he hadn't explained, he should tell us quickly or he'd do something terrible. Lin Jianguo was such a coward, he just said he'd raped someone six months earlier."
"The old police officer was stunned. Only after verifying it did they realize it was true. The old police officer was just going through the interrogation process and saying polite things. Tell me, is Lin Jianguo a coward? He still had the nerve to have feelings for a female comrade. Bah! He deserves it. People like him are a disaster. They don't say a word normally, but they are so mean behind the scenes."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone opened their mouths and came to their senses after a while. They were surprised to find that it was Lin Jianguo who gave his life away voluntarily.
You are really asking for death.
After everyone recovered, they began to talk about the impact of Lin Jianguo's incident on the village.
"I heard that the captain fainted several times."
"Our commune will no longer have an advanced collective. The Lin family has caused great harm to our commune."
Now everyone in the surrounding villages knows that there is a rapist in their village. It will be difficult for them to get married in the future, and they will be laughed at by other villages.
Uncle Lin's family received the verdict, and Lin's father and mother knew about it earlier than anyone else in the village. They were the victims, and the police had to tell them the results of the interrogation.
Lin's mother believed that as long as she did not commit any crime and lived a good life, she had nothing to fear.
Lin Baojun came back from the county in the afternoon. Someone from the post office came yesterday and said that there was a package at home, so Lin's mother asked him to go and bring the thing back.
There is no doubt that this package was sent back by my younger sister.
"Mom, I got the package back."
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted into the house.
Hearing the sound, Lin's mother ran out of the house, picked up the package on the ground, and hugged it tightly in her arms.
Lin Baojun was about to say that these things were all his when he heard his mother ask, "Is this package from Ni'er?"
Lin Baojun nodded.
Mother Lin glared at Zhaodi, who was standing in the yard. Zhang Guilian said, "I don't want the stuff, but since Ni'er touched the packaging, it has to be given to me. Boss, go get the scissors."
Zhaodi: “…”
Zhang Guilian: “…”
Lin Baojun went to the room in a daze to get a pair of scissors. Lin's mother carefully cut open the snakeskin bag that contained the things and took out the items one by one.
Thick cloth, two pairs of shoes, two cans of malted milk, and five cans of fruit.
In addition, there is a letter.
When Lin's mother saw these things, she gritted her teeth and said, "You don't know how to save money at all."
But her face was already full of smiles, which meant that Ni'er was married and she was thinking about the old couple. Those shoes were obviously suitable for her age.
She handed the letter to Lin Baojun and urged him: "Hurry up and look, what did your little sister say? Have they got the marriage certificate?"
Lin Baojun took the letter, read it, and explained its meaning to his mother.
"My younger sister said that when she arrived at the army, she would live in a private courtyard, eat fine grains, and her brother-in-law even bought her a bicycle. He sent a pair of shoes for you and Dad, and the cloth was for you to make pants. There's a can of malted milk for you and one for the children at home, and you can choose the canned fruit as you like. As for whether they got the marriage certificate, the letter didn't mention it."
Mother Lin narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Xiao Song has already bought her a bicycle. He just wants to live a good life. He must have obtained the marriage certificate. Ni'er thought we all understood what she said, so she didn't mention it."
Lin Baojun: Mom, you really have a good imagination...
While sitting in the car, Lin Qingqing's ears suddenly felt hot. She rubbed her earlobes and muttered to herself, "Who is nagging me..."
Mother Lin packed up all the things that were sent to her and put them in her room.
Zhaodi: Mom, that’s not what you just said.
Zhang Guilian: “…”
Zhang Guilian looked at those good things with eager eyes, as they were all put into the house by Lin's mother. She rolled her eyes in anger.
