"Uncle Lin, can you tell me why you gathered all of us in the ancestral hall in such a hurry?" Although Mother Jiang had some guesses in her mind, she still wanted to verify it from old man Lin's mouth in person.
She licked her lips, raised her eyes to look at Old Man Lin, and continued, "Uncle Lin, you also know that my husband and son were all taken away to the army. Now there are only two of us left at home, an orphan and a widow. Lian'er and her brothers were all raised by you. Since the day they were taken away, there has been no news. It is unknown whether they are alive or dead. I also know in my heart that ordinary people like us, ordinary farmers, are in great danger if they go to the battlefield where swords and knives are blind.
I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Lian'er is my only daughter. She is my motivation to live in this world and my spiritual support. If anything happens to Lian'er again, I will no longer have any attachment to this world. I will never allow anyone to hurt my Lian'er. As a mother, I am strong. Even if I am just a weak woman, I will fight to the death. "
Mother Jiang said so much, she undoubtedly wanted to express her attitude to Old Man Lin.
Her husband and son were taken away and she was powerless to do anything.
Because she still has a daughter. Even though she is heartbroken, she still needs to keep her life for her daughter and cannot fight with that group of people.
What if even Lian'er can't protect herself?
Even if she has to sacrifice her own life, she will never give up this time.
There must be weakness behind compromise.
If a person has no weaknesses, he will be fearless.
After listening to what Jiang's mother said, Old Man Lin knew what she meant.
"Ah~" He sighed, then opened his lips and said, "Mother of Lian'er, I know your worries. Since I am your uncle and your husband is not at home, I will definitely not watch Lian'er get into trouble again. My niece-in-law, don't worry. I am just like you. I can't wait to love Lian'er. She is the only child left in the Jiang family. Your father-in-law and I have known each other since childhood and we were childhood playmates. He treated me well when he was alive. Brother Jiang's granddaughter is also my granddaughter.
Lian'er is so well-behaved, I have already treated her as my own granddaughter. I am already at this age, and to put it bluntly, I am half buried in the ground. I will definitely not harm you. My niece, you have to trust me, and don't ask too many questions for the time being. After all, knowing too much about many things may not be a good thing. "
That’s all Old Man Lin had to say.
It’s not that he didn’t want to tell Jiang’s mother the truth.
But Old Man Lin took into consideration that the Jiang family had already suffered such a great change before.
No matter how strong Lian'er's mother is, she is just a woman.
He didn't tell her some things for the time being, and it was for her own good.
Lian'er heard the conversation between her mother and Old Man Lin. Although some of the things they said were a bit profound, she didn't understand them very well.
But Lian'er could roughly understand the general idea behind the words.
She raised her hand, tugged at Jiang Mu's sleeve, and said, "Mother, I believe Grandpa Lin won't harm us. Since Grandpa Lin doesn't want to talk, we shouldn't ask too much. Grandpa Lin has his reasons. Let's close the door and follow Grandpa Lin to the ancestral hall."
Before Grandpa Lin came, Lian'er had already told her mother what she had seen and heard.
They were actually mentally prepared.
But they originally thought that the people coming would be soldiers.
But Grandpa Lin was beyond their expectations.
When Jiang's mother heard Lian'er's words, she pursed her lips and thought for a while.
My daughter is right.
They have known Lin Bo for quite some time.
She naturally trusted Lin Bo's character.
"Okay, I'll close the door." Mother Jiang nodded.
Half an hour later.
Most people in Guquan Village received the news and came to the ancestral hall one after another.
They also arrived at the ancestral hall, and when they saw the officers and soldiers surrounding it, they understood what was going on.
"Are all the people here?" The soldier looked up at the huge crowd and asked, "How many people are there in your village now? Report the truth."
"Sir, most of the people have arrived. There are only one or two people who live in remote areas. They may still be on their way. Sir, if you have something important to tell us, please tell us first. We can inform the one or two who haven't arrived yet."
Old Man Lin was very familiar with everyone in the village. He only needed to look up and take a quick look to know who had not arrived yet.
This is a matter of Guquan Village. Doctor Li is a foreigner and she should not be implicated.
Old Man Lin was somewhat glad that Li Xia lived quite far away.
He now hopes that these officers and soldiers can say and do what they want to say quickly.
It would be best if they could leave before Dr. Li arrives.
"You old man, haven't you learned enough from me just now? What should we say and when should we say it? Is it your turn to comment?"
These officers and soldiers took advantage of the fact that they were out of the barracks and were no longer under military control, and they unscrupulously oppressed the powerless civilians.
Although the villagers of Guquanzhai were angry, they dared not speak out.
After all, they are just ordinary people and cannot compete with these bandits.
They have no choice but to endure.
"Sir, he is old and confused. My dear lords, please be magnanimous and do not argue with a confused old man."
Although an old lady from the same village was afraid, she still swallowed her saliva and pleaded for Old Man Lin.
