Shen Sitang took the boy to see Mu Zhenshan, and asked Mu Zhenshan to prepare clean clothes for him to change into.

The young man changed his clothes and looked a bit cautious. He stood in front of Shen Sitang hesitantly, lifting his hem from time to time, as if he was afraid that the clothes of excellent quality would be soiled by him.

Shen Sitang waved to him: "Bo Yu, take me to see your grandfather."

Lin Baiyu was stunned: "Is Deputy Envoy Shen going to my house?"

"Um, can you?"

Lin Baiyu blushed, scratched his head, and then nodded in a dull tone: "Yes, Deputy Envoy Shen, come with me."

Shen Sitang followed Lin Baiyu out of Mujiazhuang, walked for about half an hour, and finally arrived at Lin Baiyu's home.

Looking at the low house built with loess and thatch in front of him, Shen Sitang finally understood why Lin Baiyu didn't look so hospitable when he heard that she was coming.

It's not that the young man is not hospitable, it's just that his ignorant self-esteem is at work because of the conditions at home.

Lin Baiyu lowered his head in embarrassment, said in a muffled voice, Deputy Envoy Shen, please come in, then plunged into the small and dilapidated loess room, shouting inside: "Grandpa, Deputy Envoy Shen is here."

The house is not big, to put it harshly, the huts in Mujiazhuang are bigger than theirs, Shen Sitang sighed secretly, and stooped into the house.

The room exudes a musty smell, and there are many sundries piled up. There is only one passageway that can accommodate one person to pass through. A rag hangs on the right side of the sundries, like a door curtain, blocking the small room. two rooms.

The grandfather and grandson have lived in such a house for many years, no wonder Lin Baiyu is so thin.

Lin Baiyu opened the rag curtain, and behind the curtain was a kang watered with soil. Presumably this was the bed of the grandfather and grandson. The bedding on it had lost its original color, but it looked clean.

There was a lump on the kang, Lin Baiyu stepped forward to lift a corner of the quilt, but at the next moment he cried out in a panic: "Grandpa!"

Shen Sitang realized something was wrong and hurried forward, only to see the old man with white hair, sallow face, purple lips, as if he was dying.

Hearing Lin Baiyu's call, the old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes. It took him a while to see the young man in front of him clearly. He was dressed luxuriously, with tears in his eyes.

"Bai Yu, you have suffered for so many years."

Lin Baiyu whimpered and cried: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

The old man smiled weakly, and looked at Shen Sitang at the side: "Deputy Shen, I am actually not Bai Yu's grandfather, I am his grandfather, and Bai Yu should have worn such clothes as a pampered young master, yes I was too selfish, I insisted on hiding it from him and deceiving him, now that I can no longer take care of him, I also asked Vice Envoy Shen to look at him pitifully and send him back to his father for me."

Lin Baiyu burst into tears: "Grandpa, what are you talking about! Why are you not my grandpa!"

The old man didn't answer him, but told Shen Sitang intermittently about Lin Baiyu's life experience.

It turned out that Lin Baiyu's mother had been in love with a rich boy in the city. Unexpectedly, the rich boy did not marry the old man's daughter in the end, but married a daughter of the right family, and tricked her into taking her into the mansion sooner or later. Enjoy.

How can the old man fail to understand that the so-called enjoyment of blessings is nothing more than being a concubine.

Lin Baiyu's mother is stubborn, unwilling to be a concubine, so she wants to break up with her, so that she can find a good family, and the marriage is almost settled. Unexpectedly, that selfish man forbids her to marry someone else, pretending to see her one last time Lin Baiyu's mother was tricked out under the guise, coaxing her to drink a glass of wine mixed with medicine, ruining her innocence.

Without her innocence, it was difficult for her to marry again, and she wasted her time at home in a decadent manner, unexpectedly becoming pregnant.

The father and daughter didn't know what to do. They wanted to buy medicine to make the child, but they couldn't bear it. Later, Lin Baiyu's mother said that she would never marry again anyway, so it would be better to give birth to the child, which can be regarded as a offspring.

At that time, the old man's family was not so poor, thinking that the father and daughter would be able to support a child after all, and sending him to study and practice calligraphy in the future, wouldn't it be wonderful.

So they kept their child, and they wanted to give birth secretly, and they didn't want the help of the rich family's children, and they didn't want to be a concubine, so they thought that this child had nothing to do with that family.

It was fine all the time, until the kid from the rich family came to the door again, forced his way into the house and saw her with a big belly, he said that he would take her back, even promised to divorce his wife, and marry her back home in a fair and honest manner.

The old man beat him out at that time, but the matter became so big that the rich boy's wife came to make a fuss, and his daughter was pushed to the ground and her fetus became gassy.

Lin Baiyu's mother has been in poor health since then. The old man sought medical treatment everywhere for him, and the family's savings were all spent.

Finally, on the day Lin Baiyu was born, Lin Baiyu's mother died of dystocia. The old man owed a lot of debts to see a doctor for his daughter, so he had to sell the old house and moved here.

Lin Baiyu's father had been here a few times during the period, and wanted to take Lin Baiyu back, but the old man knew that the shrew in his family also had children, and Lin Baiyu would not have a good life if he was taken back.

But now he had to bow his head.

After Lin Baiyu listened, he seemed to think of something: "Grandpa, could it be that my father is that person?"

The old man nodded towards Lin Baiyu: "That's him."

Lin Baiyu had obviously seen his father, probably when he came to visit him, but he never knew it was his real father.

Lin Baiyu bit his lip, tears falling drop by drop.

The old man sighed: "Bo Yu, it was grandpa who lied to you. Grandpa is sorry for you. Your father is a Wuxiu, and his family is considered wealthy. You follow him, you must be obedient, sensible, and take good care of yourself. Grandpa, how are you?"

Lin Baiyu remained silent and did not answer, but the old man said it again stubbornly, insisting on his answer.

Lin Baiyu shook his head, but he did not answer but already expressed his attitude.

The old man coughed violently: "Bai Yu, grandpa can't take care of you anymore, are you obedient?"

Lin Baiyu clenched his fists and said stubbornly: "Grandpa, I will cure you." After he finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Shen Sitang with a thud, and said with a sob: "Deputy envoy Shen, please save my grandpa!"

Shen Sitang quickly helped him up, reached out and took out a pill from his bosom, and was about to hand it to Lin Baiyu, but the old man strongly objected: "It's useless, it can't be saved, my body is dying."

Shen Sitang frowned, and stretched out his hand to lift off the quilt on the old man.

I saw blood stains under the quilt, the old man's abdomen was injured, but the flesh on his body was festering and rotten.

Shen Sitang knew exactly what this meant.

The old man was indeed hopeless.

Seeing this, Lin Baiyu burst into tears, and threw himself on the old man at a loss: "How could this happen? Grandpa! How could this happen!"

The old man also shed tears. He wanted to raise his hand to touch Lin Baiyu, but he was unable to do so. He said helplessly, "Boyu, what should you do?"
