"No, her youngest son was born to an officer. Not many people know about this. I know about it because I delivered the child myself. It was about 20 years ago, when the war was still going on. Widow Huang picked up an officer on the beach and took him home to recuperate. The officer stayed at Widow Huang's house for about two months. Not long after he left, Widow Huang became pregnant. I don't know what she was thinking, giving birth to a child for someone else without any name or status. Fortunately, her parents-in-law had died at that time, otherwise she would definitely not have survived."
"But why didn't anyone notice that she was pregnant?" If a woman was pregnant, no matter how well she hid it, experienced elders could tell at a glance.
"She didn't leave the house after she became pregnant for four months. She was in mourning for the old couple at the time. People here generally don't visit families in mourning." The second grandmother Lin knew she was pregnant at the time because she went to her house in person at night to ask her to help with the delivery.
"This Widow Huang is really a ruthless person. By the way, why does she have such a bad relationship with Li Chunya?" Lin Qingmei is now full of curiosity about Widow Huang.
“When Widow Huang was young, she had an affair with Lin Hongjun, but your great-uncle disagreed and broke them up. Later, after Widow Huang’s husband died, Lin Hongjun became interested in her again. As for whether anything happened between them, only the parties involved know.” Second Grandma Lin actually admired Widow Huang very much. Although Widow Huang looked down and out on the surface, she was actually quite rich in private.
She had been back in Linjiawan for so many years and had rarely gone out, but she had never lacked food.
Although the clothes she wore were not inconspicuous, the fabrics were all real.
"Wow, Widow Huang's life is so wonderful!" Lin Qingmei couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Widow Huang. This woman must be doing very well in modern times.
"Qingmei, look, does that man look like your great uncle Lin Hongjun?"
"That man is Lin Hongjun, but why did he end up in Widow Huang's house?" Lin Qingmei used her mental power to watch Lin Hongjun's every move. She knew that her uncle must have some hidden secrets when he appeared in Widow Huang's house in a sneaky way.
Out of curiosity, Second Madam Lin took Lin Qingmei to hide in the corner of Widow Huang's house, and then secretly looked inside through the dog hole.
I saw Lin Hongjun holding a shovel and digging something next to the longan tree.
After a while, Lin Hongjun was exhausted and breathless but found nothing. He stamped his feet unwillingly, cursed a few words in a low voice, and left in a hurry.
After Lin Hongjun walked away, Lin Qingmei and Lin Ernainai came out from the corner.
"What on earth is he looking for?" Lin Qingmei looked puzzled.
Grandma Lin shook her head. "Who knows? Come on, let's go home!"
After Lin Qingmei returned home, she was always thinking about Lin Hongjun's strange behavior at Huang Guafu's house. That night, after Lin Zheng and Xiao Zhiquan fell asleep, she sneaked to the longan tree at Huang Guafu's house.
She used her mental power to carefully scan the yard, trying to see if she could find any clues.
Suddenly, she found a stone under the tree that looked a little loose, as if it had been moved repeatedly.
Lin Qingmei took great pains to move the stone away, revealing a small box underneath. After opening the box, she saw the gold bars and a yellowed photo of the young Widow Huang and a child of three or four years old.
After counting them, there were ten small yellow croakers in one acre. It seemed that this money was left to Widow Huang by the landlord.
These were already owned by someone else, and Lin Qingmei didn't intend to take them, but she didn't want them and didn't want to let Lin Hongjun get them for free.
Lin Qingmei carefully put the gold bars and photos in the box back to their original places, and then closed the wooden box.
After some consideration, Lin Qingmei decided to bury the small box in a more secret place. She looked around for a suitable location and finally decided to dig a hole under the water tank and bury the box in it.
The water tank in Widow Huang's house is quite heavy, and only a strong man like Lin Qingmei can move it.
