Early the next morning, Lin Anru went to town.
He cut a piece of pork and suddenly heard hawking sounds not far away, so he walked over.
It turned out that the fish being sold was a freshly caught river fish. He thought of the fish Chang Lin had sent him last time and how his daughter had enjoyed eating it, so he decided to take an extra fish home.
After returning to the village, he did not go home directly, but made a circle and came to the second wife's house.
He did not go in to see his second brother, but stood quietly outside the gate and listened to the noisy sounds of Lin Anxiang's family for half an hour.
His eldest brother told him that when Yu Jie'er was struck by lightning, his second brother and second sister-in-law were also struck by lightning at the same time. He did not think that these two things were coincidences.
Thinking of the deceased Lin Shijie and the words his daughter said describing Lin Shijie as abnormal, he believed that this matter was related to Lin Shijie.
Unfortunately, Lin Shijie is dead, so it is impossible to verify it.
"An Ru, come and see your second brother!"
The second room's house is in the middle of the village, and there are usually people coming and going. Now, because Lin Anxiang's family has a lively scene every day, more villagers gather here when they have nothing to do.
Lin Anru nodded in response to the villager.
"Don't you want to go in and take a look?"
"No, I have something to do at home."
The villagers didn't know what was going on in their minds: "It's better not to go in."
The two brothers must have had a very complicated relationship because of the child's matter, and the ending turned out like this! Especially with Lin Anxiang in this state, Lin Anru would definitely be beaten by him as soon as he entered.
Lin Anru wanted to hurry home because the fish would be stale if she was any later.
After spending some time together, Lin Anru knew that his beloved daughter was very picky about food, as long as the conditions allowed.
He wanted to go back, but the villager still wanted to chat with him:
"Let's just let that little thing between your two families go. Your parents are already worried enough about your second brother becoming like this."
It was hard enough for them to have their granddaughter suddenly become a bastard.
That would have been fine, since she was dead anyway, so it was as if this granddaughter had never existed. But the son and daughter-in-law suddenly became disabled and paralyzed respectively.
Being paralyzed is not just about losing a labor force, but also requires someone to take care of you, which is equivalent to tying down another healthy person.
As for their son, Mr. and Mrs. Lin also regarded him as having lost his labor force. He lay in bed all day long, and when he got up, it was either to eat and drink or to beat and scold people.
I have never done any work in the fields, so it is my two elders who help me.
What the two elders of the Lin family are most worried about now is not the two adults, but the remaining two children. If they don't lend a hand, how difficult it will be for the grandchildren to live with such parents.
The villagers saw all these things and felt sorry for them.
People always sympathize with the weak.
"I know." Lin Anru responded.
"That's right, there aren't so many obstacles between brothers..."
The villagers thought their persuasion was effective and began to talk to him about the so-called principles. After Lin Anru responded several times, he found an excuse to go home.
The cooking duties at home were basically handed over to Lin Boyu. After Lin Anru handed the ingredients to him, she continued to dig the basement.
"Dad, it's time to eat!"
Lin Boyu brought the dishes to the table and came over to call him dad.
Everyone started eating only after his father came over after washing his hands.
"You two should eat more."
Liu picked up some meat for each of the two children.
"Dad, Mom, you guys should eat more too."
The two children picked up more food for their parents.
The meat was clearly from the same pot, but the one the other person picked for him tasted much better.
Boom!
"It's going to rain."
By the end of the meal, the weather had changed dramatically.
Liu put down her chopsticks and prepared to go out to pack her clothes, but she had only taken two steps when someone hugged her thigh.
"Don't be afraid, Mom is here!"
Liu thought the child was suffering from the trauma of thunder and lightning, so she stopped and bent down to comfort her.
"Mom, I'm going to collect the clothes."
When Lin Boyu saw his sister's situation, he put down his chopsticks and ran out.
In addition to collecting clothes, you also have to collect the herbs that are hung outside to dry.
Xiao Shiyu threw herself into Liu's arms, her voice muffled: "Mother, I'm leaving, you have to remember me."
Liu's body trembled, and she tried to keep her voice calm, but no matter how hard she tried, her voice betrayed her nervousness: "Where...where are you going?"
"Mom, you must know that the person in this body before was not me."
Liu held her arms tightly. She knew, she had always known...
But she could only pretend not to know.
Lin Anru, who was eating, stood up at once and strode towards them: "My dear girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Dad, you have to remember me too!"
Xiao Shiyu let go of Liu and reached out to hug her father.
"Sister Yu, where are you going?" Liu's arms felt empty, and her heart felt empty too, but she was still seeking an answer.
"Dad, Mom, I'm actually dead."
Xiao Shiyu's words were like a bomb, blowing up the hearts of both of them.
"Don't talk nonsense, aren't you alive and well?" Liu frowned and looked serious.
Xiao Shiyu was still talking to herself. Because she didn't have much time left, she wanted to say goodbye to her parents properly and didn't want to leave any regrets.
"I'm dead. I died a long time ago. I was already dead when my cousin pushed me into the river."
Liu didn't believe it and kept shaking her head.
Lin Anru's eyes turned red and her face was wet.
"If I died, I was afraid my parents would be sad, so I dragged my eldest sister here and she lived on for me."
Xiao Shiyu pointed at her body.
After she died, her soul in mid-air saw her parents running towards her body in a hurry.
The anxious, worried and distressed look struck her soul, and at that moment she suddenly wanted to come back to life instead of following her dead grandfather to another world.
But she was already dead, and her soul could not enter her body. She was very anxious and had a strong desire to resurrect her body.
Then the elder sister's soul was pulled over by her strong desire.
She didn't know what was going on, why she made the pulling motion, nor did she understand why this motion would pull a soul over, and that soul could enter her body.
She wanted to pull the soul out, but a voice from the unknown told her that the soul could not pull her out, and she herself could not go back.
If you force yourself to go back, the end result will be the complete death of this body.
So she gave up the idea of going back, thinking that as long as her body was alive, her parents would not be sad, and she could follow her dead grandfather in peace.
