From the Zhang family next door to the Lin family, Aunt Zhang came back with her two daughters-in-law after watching the excitement.
The eldest daughter-in-law said: "Mom, who on earth was able to move all these things out in one go? Could it be some god?"
"Pfft, pfft, don't talk nonsense, be careful someone might hear you."
"Oh, Mom, don't worry, no one will hear it. Besides, it's not just my sister-in-law who said this. Look, even the comrades from the police station said that this matter is strange." Seeing how nervous the mother-in-law was, the daughter-in-law hurriedly spoke to comfort her.
"That's right, Mom. I'm not the only one saying this. I've also heard a few people say that the Lin family must have done something evil to deserve this retribution. They say that if this wasn't done by gods, then it must have been done by ghosts. Otherwise, how can we explain so many things disappearing overnight?"
"Hey, these things, you can just say them at home, don't say them outside."
"Then we definitely won't tell anyone, but Mom, tell me, could it be that the Lin family is really being punished?"
"Let our family members lock us up and talk among themselves. You must not spread some of these things. I think it might be the ghosts of the Lin couple."
"The Lin family couple? Who are they?"
The two daughters-in-law were very confused. Aren't the Lin family couple the Lin Fucai couple? Where did the Lin family couple come from?
"Hey, you haven't lived here for a few years and don't know. Actually, the owner of this house next door was originally called Lin Cheng'en. He was the cousin of the old lady next door, Lin Cheng'en and his wife used to be workers in our textile factory. In our area, the couple were both capable, but unfortunately, they had bad luck. I heard that they were both orphans. Moreover, more than ten years ago, in order to save the property of our factory, the couple sacrificed their lives. After the sacrifice, they left behind a daughter, the girl next door named Yaya. That girl is also pitiful. I remember that when the couple was still alive, the girl was white and plump. She was very cute. But a few years after the couple passed away, the girl became thinner every year, and even her personality changed.
Lin Fucai and his wife also said that the child had lost his appetite and had become like this because his parents had passed away. But think about it, how could a five-year-old child remember so many things about his parents? Later, they said that the child had a bad stomach and couldn't absorb the food he ate. In fact, the couple really treated everyone else as fools. This child is their only child. The two of them raised the child very carefully. How could he not absorb the food because of a bad stomach? This family has no conscience. They said they were taking care of the child, but Lin Fucai and his wife's work all belonged to the child's parents, including the house next door. They took so many benefits from them, and yet they treated their child like this. Tell me, if the child's parents knew about this, would they come up and seek revenge on this family? "
The two daughters-in-law were stunned when they heard their mother-in-law say this.
"Mom, that shouldn't be possible, right? Isn't this family very good to that child? The child has been in school all the time, and I heard that he will graduate from high school this year."
"Humph, they're just doing this for you, just to fool you youngsters. Speaking of which, Yaya has had a hard time. There were several times when I saw her nearly faint from hunger. Later, we, the elders, had no other choice but to teach her about wild vegetables, and that's how she saved herself from starvation."
"Then Mom, why don't you report this to the factory leaders?"
"React? How should we react? We are not related to this child. At most, we are neighbors. If we interfere too much, others will think we are coveting this child's family property."
"That's true, Mom. It's been over ten years, and the Lins haven't said anything about seeking revenge. So why are they seeking revenge this time?"
"Hmph, if you ask me, it must be because that girl almost died yesterday, otherwise why would her parents come here to seek revenge?"
The daughter-in-law was also one of the neighbors who took Lin Yaya to the hospital yesterday.
"Let me tell you, that girl was in real danger yesterday. If she had been taken there a little later, she would have died. She fell like this, and there was no one at home, and the door was locked. How could her parents not be angry when they saw their child almost die?"
"Oh, what a miserable child!"
The old lady sighed, there was nothing she could do. Although she felt sorry for the child, her family was also living a hard life at that time and she had no ability to help the child. If she gave her family's food to the child, then her child would starve. As a parent, she could only focus on her own child first.
Later, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she saved some food from her own mouth once or twice to help the poor child, but she was unable to do more than that.
The same conversation was also happening in several neighboring homes. In this day and age, no one was a fool. If you didn't have some ability to judge people, you would have died in those difficult times.
In other words, the Lin family felt that their family had concealed the truth well, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see through the trick.
After all, the whole family is plump and white, except Lin Siya, who is skinny and looks like she could be blown down by a gust of wind. No one is blind or stupid, but this is someone else's family affair after all. As outsiders, they can only despise her in their hearts at most, and can't say anything more.
Also, even if they saw something, they didn't have the ability to help the child. After all, everyone's life was hard at that time. In their opinion, as long as the child didn't starve to death, it wasn't a big deal.
Of course, there were kind-hearted people like Aunt Zhang who secretly helped Lin Siya, and there were also some who stood up for her. However, at that time, the original owner had been oppressed by the Lin family and was submissive and did not dare to resist. Even if they were standing up for her, as outsiders, they had no way to stand up for her if she did not fight for it.
The original owner ended up with a tragic death, and one could only be angry at him for not fighting back.
