Lin Rongguang is dead!
Lin Zhongqiang never expected that this old guy was so easily provoked that he actually died of anger from just a few words he said!
Despite the enmity, it was still a human life at stake, and Lin Zhongqiang felt a pang of anxiety, worried about getting into legal trouble.
However, she quickly calmed down, thinking that no one knew she had visited Lin Rongguang anyway. That old guy often did inhuman things and had bullied her family a lot over the years. Her father had been wronged for many years and died with regrets.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongqiang's guilt dissipated. However, he decided to keep the matter of secretly provoking Lin Rongguang to himself.
Yang Cui learned of Lin Rongguang's death from Zhou Zhuoshi the following afternoon when she came to visit her.
"So sudden."
Yang Cui was very surprised. In the original story, Lin Rongguang died four years later. Because of Lin Shikang, the entire Lin family enjoyed wealth and prosperity. Lin Rongguang also enjoyed a lot of good fortune in the years before his death.
"It was quite sudden, but I heard it was because the Lin family was arguing. He knew about Lin Chunmei's advice to Qiu Yan to get a divorce, and on top of that, Lin Mingcai was going to serve five years in prison. He was so upset that he died of anger," Zhou Zhuoshi said. "The Lin family has provided everyone with a year's worth of gossip and jokes. What kind of daughter would advise her parents to get a divorce? Only the Lin family could raise a girl like that."
"Perhaps this is a case of 'if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.'"
——
As the story spread, it became known that Lin Chunmei was extremely unfilial and had caused the death of her great-grandfather, making the Lin family famous in the surrounding area once again.
The Lin family would certainly not admit that Lin Rongguang's death was related to Lin Chunmei. They could only claim to the outside world that the old man died of illness due to excessive worry about his son.
That's what they say to the outside world, but in reality, the Lin family and even the entire Lin clan blame Lin Rongguang's death on Lin Chunmei and Yang Cui. They feel that if Lin Chunmei hadn't persuaded her parents to divorce, and if Yang Cui hadn't caused Lin Mingcai to go to jail for five years, Lin Rongguang wouldn't have been so traumatized and wouldn't have died.
The Lin family dares not provoke Yang Cui now, but dealing with Lin Chunmei is a piece of cake.
Lin Chunmei was secretly dealt with by the Lin family. She was beaten and locked in the ancestral hall, where they claimed she was chanting scriptures to pray for the Lin family.
"I didn't! It wasn't me! It was Yang Cui! It was Yang Cui who killed my great-grandfather!" Lin Chunmei shouted loudly, tears streaming down her face, but the ancestral hall was in a remote place and no one could hear her.
Just as Lin Chunmei was shouting herself hoarse, the ancestral hall door creaked open.
"Sister Chunmei, are you alright?"
Zhang Chunmei looked up and said, "Xiangjuan, what brings you here?"
"Your great-grandfather died, so my mother and I came here to eat steamed buns."
Eating steamed buns is equivalent to attending a funeral; this is a local dialect expression.
Pu Xiangjuan asked with a gossipy look, "Sister Chunmei, did you really anger your great-grandfather to death? Did you really make your mother divorce your father?"
"No! I didn't! My great-grandfather was killed by Yang Cui! She made him suffer a minor stroke a long time ago, and then she caused my father's five-month prison sentence to be extended to five years. My great-grandfather died of anger because he knew about this. She killed my great-grandfather!"
"Huh? My aunt... she's not my aunt anymore. Is Yang Cui really that wicked now?"
Pu Xiangjuan is Lin Lizhi's youngest daughter, only one month younger than Lin Chunmei. In Pu Xiangjuan's memory, her aunt Yang Cui used to be a very nice person.
"Her wickedness doesn't stop there. She has ruined the reputation of our Lin family and the Lin clan. Now, all of us brothers and sisters are in trouble finding spouses. Xuemei and I have both been jilted by her!"
Lin Chunmei could not hide her hatred.
Suddenly, Lin Chunmei changed her tone and asked in a low voice, "Xiangjuan, would you like a silver bracelet like this?" After saying that, Lin Chunmei took out a silver bracelet and waved it in front of Pu Xiangjuan.
"So beautiful!" Pu Xiangjuan exclaimed, her expression already answering Lin Chunmei's question.
"If you do me a favor, I'll give you this bracelet."
"real?"
"Of course it's true!"
"So what do you want me to do for you?"
"Come here and I'll tell you quietly."
Pu Xiangjuan leaned closer, and Lin Chunmei lowered her voice and whispered a few words to her.
“This…” Pu Xiangjuan looked troubled. “Why didn’t you ask Daya for help?”
“Da Ya doesn’t get along with them, so she can’t help. I just want to scare them a little, I won’t really do anything to them. Besides, they’re not your relatives anymore, they’ve all changed their surname to Yang. Xiang Juan, as long as you help me get it done, I’ll give you this bracelet.”
Pu Xiangjuan saw the exquisite silver bracelet with auspicious cloud patterns. Her cousin had one, and she heard that it cost five or six taels of silver to buy. Her cousin would always show it off in front of her, and she was both jealous and envious.
"Then bring it to me first."
Lin Chunmei handed it over without hesitation.
Pu Xiangjuan immediately put the bracelet on her wrist and tried it on. She felt that wearing the silver bracelet made her look completely different. Pu Xiangjuan couldn't wait to run to her cousin with the silver bracelet on so that she could see it too.
"So? Are you going to help or not?"
"Okay, I'll help you, but if you back out later, I won't let you have your way."
"I keep my word."
Lin Chunmei had no intention of backing out. She thought that after the matter was settled, she would receive a large gold bracelet. How much would a gold bracelet cost? At least twenty or thirty taels of silver. Moreover, Manager Qin had promised to introduce her to a good marriage.
