Chapter 642 Hot Pot, Membership Money
"Why don't you look at him? He is your grandson, you just don't want to look at him, do you? You think he lost your people and the Lin family's face, so you want to kill him, don't you?" ?”

In the face of the elder son's cruel questioning, Yang's already old and yellow face became paler, and his cloudy eyes began to exude despair.

Just when Mrs. Yang was trying to defend herself, the old village chief's old and majestic voice sounded in the crowd.

"Lin Jiazhong, Mrs. Ma! Lin Yongle is your son, and it is your responsibility as parents to take care of him. Now that something happened to your son, you don't take responsibility for yourself, but you still blame your own mother. It's really treasonous!"

The old village chief walked out of the crowd with the help of his son on crutches, and cast a sad glance at Lin Yongle, who was already dead on the ground, then fixed his eyes on Yang Shi, sighed, and asked his daughter-in-law to take Yang Shi Helped up.

"You don't take good care of your son and you still blame others. Your mother doesn't need to babysit your son!"

As early as when Lin Jianling suffered a stroke, the old village head had already been extremely disappointed in Lin Jiazhong. He didn't expect that today his own son would be frozen to death outside, and a grandma would be blamed.As a father, he failed to take good care of the child, so he blamed the old man for doing something!
The old village chief tapped his cane twice on the snow, and said angrily: "Lin Jiazhong, I told you a long time ago that your son often crawls out alone, and I asked you to keep an eye on him. Lock it up. You are fine, but you just don’t listen! If you had taken care of your son in advance, would what happened today still happen?”

Mrs. Ma had nothing to say, Lin Jiazhong's face turned red and turned white, his red eyes glanced at his mother's face, and looked at his son.

The old village head also understood that he had just lost his son, and his heart was heavy, so he stopped talking about him.It's just that he was very puzzled, where did the two go without staying at home on the eve of the New Year's Eve.

"You keep saying that your mother didn't take good care of the child. Let me ask you, where did you two go? Why don't you stay at home and look after the child?"

The words of the old village chief hit the faces of Lin Jiazhong and his wife like a sap, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, the old village chief frowned and asked again, but the two still kept their mouths shut and neither spoke.

In the crowd, Lin Fugui's family looked at each other in blank dismay. Lanhua opened her mouth to speak, but Aunt Wang grabbed her and shook her head not to allow her to speak.

Lin Yuan didn't notice the reaction of Lanhua and the others, but she was very puzzled by the reaction of Lin Jiazhong and his wife, what happened to them.

When a person is dead, it is useless to find anyone else to blame.Lin Jiazhong, Mrs. Ma moved his son's body back home while crying. Lin Yongle had bad legs and couldn't crawl far. It can be said that he was frozen to death at the door of his house.

Lin Jiaxin watched the two of them move the body with difficulty, and moved their feet, but they still didn't take that step after all.

Mrs. Yang was supported by Dahan's daughter-in-law. As soon as she reached the door, Mrs. Yang politely persuaded her to leave.

After moving his son's body into the house, the door of the old house was slammed shut, and Ma's wailing was heard in the yard immediately.

"Let's go back." Lin Jiaxin squeezed his eyebrows, and walked back holding his daughter's hand.

The news of Lin Yongle being frozen in the snow spread throughout the village in a short time, and some people who were close to him were no longer in the mood to wander around the village to pay New Year's greetings.Lin Jiaxin has been depressed since he returned home, and he couldn't laugh when he saw his son.

Liu was puzzled, so Lin Yuan told her what happened just now.

Mrs. Liu sighed, glanced at her man, and said in a low voice, "I thought it was your grandpa. Hey, Lele was only in his teens. I didn't expect him to disappear just like that. You said he was too, with a broken leg and mental health. It’s not good either, why does he always want to come outside, what does he want to do or is he thinking about finding someone?”

Liu's seemingly inadvertent question made Lin Yuan's heart skip a beat. Lin Yongle's climbing outside was no secret in the village, and she had heard Lanhua talk about it several times.At first, she didn't take it to heart, but now that there is no one there, she suddenly had a bad feeling that the place Lin Yongle was going to was probably her home, could it be that she wanted to come to her?

Lin Yuan shivered and felt her back start to feel cold.This Lin Yongle is so stupid, do you still remember that she broke his leg?
In fact, when she started doing it, she already thought that Lin Yongle would come to settle accounts with her, but she also had her own excuses.At that time, Lin Yongle was wearing a mask. She could use the excuse that she didn't know who it was, and they were all here to find fault. Even if she really admitted that others would not think she was wrong.

But the fact that Lin Yongle went to prison and became stupid was not what she expected.But does this kind of uncontrollable matter have to be blamed on her?

Lin Yuan's heart sank, she didn't feel that she had to pay for Lin Yongle's death, and she didn't intend to tell anyone about her guess.

Just as he was thinking, someone outside had already come to pay New Year's greetings, and the first one was Lin Jiaxin's apprentice Lin Changqing, followed by Lanhua.

Unmarried women don't need to come out to pay New Year's greetings. Why did Lanhua come out today?

Just wondering, Lanhua had already pulled Lin Yuan aside, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Lin Yuan, let me tell you something, about your uncle, no, he is no longer your uncle, he has something to do with Lin Jiazhong. Relationship."

"What's the matter?" Could it be that Lin Jiazhong and his wife were not at home last night?

Lan Hua bit her lip, leaned into her ear and said, "My mother didn't let me tell you, I'll tell you quietly. Last night when our family was having dinner, Lin Jiazhong and his wife suddenly knocked on the door, saying they wanted to borrow my cattle. Car. You also know that in our village, apart from your family having a horse-drawn cart, my family has an ox cart. The couple came to borrow a cart, and they must be going out of the village. My brother asked a special question when he set up a cart for them. Where are you going for this New Year's Eve, but Lin Jiazhong said nothing with a gloomy face, and Mrs. Ma said that she was not in good health and went to see a doctor. Hmph, think we are all fools? Which doctor this New Year's Eve is still open for business ah."

Lan Hua still wanted to complain, so Lin Yuan interrupted her quickly and asked, "Then when did they come back? Do you remember?"

"Remember, they didn't come back until the next day. After they brought the ox cart back to us, they heard Ma's cry not long after."

This means that they stayed outside for a whole night, no wonder Lin Yongle was left to freeze to death.

"When they came back, did they bring anything? Things or people?"

Lan Hua thought for a while: "No, it's the two of them who didn't bring anything back. It's also possible that they went home first?"

I don't know if they went home first, but one thing Lin Yuan is certain of is that something terrible happened to the couple, and they can't tell others, even Yang's mother-in-law don't know.

What is it?
Wait, such a big event happened this morning, why didn't you see Lin Jiaxiao and his wife?And Lin Yongcheng, his younger brother is dead, why didn't his big brother show up?

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Yuan didn't figure it out, so she simply stopped worrying about it.

After seeing Lin Changqing and his sister away, Mrs. Liu glanced at Lin Jiaxin, who was not in high spirits, and said sadly: "Lele is still a child, she passed away so early, and she will not be able to enter the ancestral grave, or even go to the funeral. Why."

Lin Yuan's mind sank suddenly, and she remembered what happened three years ago.At that time, Mrs. Liu had just given birth to her first son. Due to physical injuries, the youngest son had not been very healthy since he was born. Sure enough, he died before the full moon.

According to the custom, after the death of an underage or unmarried child, he is not eligible to enter the ancestral grave.Poor that child, only a small coffin was hastily buried in the back mountain, not even a monument.

This happened three years ago, and Lin Yuan still clearly remembered the situation when Lin Jiaxin bought the coffin for that little brother, and Mrs. Ma pouted and said sarcastic words: "A child who hasn't grown up still wants to use a coffin? What a waste of money!"

Although Mrs. Yang was not willing to part with the money, but after all, it was her grandson, and she gave the money to Lin Jiaxin after all, but the money was too little, so she could only buy the lowest-grade coffin.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it's only been three years, and it's Ma's turn to experience the pain of bereavement. Could it be that Feng Shui turns around?

Although Lin Yongle's matter has affected everyone's mood, but the year that should be passed is still to be passed.Lin Jiaxin saw that his four children were staying by his side in good health, and his smiles gradually increased. After so much, being together as a family is the greatest happiness.

They are going to eat hot pot at noon. Lin Yuan and the others have eaten hot pot at home several times in winter, so they have hot pot at home.The mutton and meatballs were also prepared years ago. As for the vegetables, there are only Chinese cabbage, radishes and potatoes to eat in winter. There are also some sweet potatoes harvested from the vegetable field in the kitchen. Lin Yuan also washed them and put them in the pot .Sweet potatoes are sweet and soft after being cooked, very delicious, just the same, sweet potatoes cannot be boiled in a pot for a long time, otherwise they will be boiled.

Because of Lin Yongle's incident, the whole family was careful when eating. Even Xiao Linshuang lost the joy of eating. While picking the mutton in the bowl, he secretly looked at his father, for fear that he would shed tears if he was not careful. Come.

Lin Jiaxin also saw the strangeness of the children, and felt sorry for the children while being grateful for their consideration for him. Speaking of which, he and Lin Yongle were not very close. Although they were uncles and nephews, Lin Yongle never took the initiative to get close to him. This second uncle had only been intimate for a few days when he was asked for help to go to the town to make peace.

My child is the closest, Lin Jiaxin sighed, and put all the unhappiness in the morning behind him, took the initiative to put a chopstick of mutton into Xiao Linshuang's bowl, smiled and ticked her little nose: "Yeah Mutton is my favorite, come, eat more."

Seeing that Lin Jiaxin was in a good mood, Xiao Linshuang also became happy with a grin. She swiped the chopsticks in the pot with her small hand, picked up a big chopstick full of mutton and vegetables, and put them all into Lin Jiaxin's bowl.

"Father, you should also eat more, eat more and grow taller."

Usually, the Liu family would say this when coaxing Xiao Linshuang to eat, eat more and grow taller and more beautiful, but she didn't expect it to be used by her to coax Lin Jiaxin now.All the people burst into laughter, there was really nothing they could do about Xiao Linshuang, a little treasure.

The family was eating happily when the door rang, and someone called Lin Jiaxin's name immediately after.

Lin Yuan quickly put down her chopsticks and went out to greet her.

One of the visitors was Dahan, the son of the old village chief, and the other was Sanshu Lin.

Lin Yuan didn't have much impression of Uncle Lin. She only remembered that he was very eloquent and quick to handle affairs, but he didn't have any business and wandered around the village all year round.When there are any weddings and funerals in the village, he is usually asked to discuss. First, he is very popular in the village, and second, he has handled many things and has experience.

As soon as she saw Uncle Lin, Lin Yuan immediately understood why they came to see Lin Jiaxin.Lin Yongle was found frozen to death in front of his house early in the morning. This is very unlucky for Chinese New Year, so he hurriedly buried it if he could.

But there is one more embarrassing thing, which is Lin Yongle's identity.He is not yet an adult, and he is not married, so he cannot enter the ancestral grave, let alone be buried.As a result, the villagers could only secretly prepare some tributes for him and buried him in the back mountain.

No, Lin Sanshu and Dahan went door to door to collect the tribute money.

"Hey, I'm eating hot pot!" After all, Uncle Lin is a man who has seen the world. As soon as he entered the door and saw the pot on the table, he said the name of the hot pot.

Lin Jiaxin smiled and asked the two to sit down: "Yes, the third brother hasn't eaten yet, so why don't you just eat here before leaving?"

"No, no, no, this is not collecting money, it just happened to catch up with your house. We have to go to someone else's house, or we can't finish this business today." Uncle Lin said the words of refusal, eyes But the mutton in the hot pot couldn't be removed for a moment.

Lin Yuan still has a good impression of this third uncle Lin. Although she doesn't remember it, Mrs. Liu told her that the funeral of her little brother who died young was helped by this third uncle Lin. Well, if he hadn't helped Yang Shi a few words, I'm afraid Yang Shi wouldn't have used the few taels of silver to buy a coffin for his little brother.

"Third Uncle, Dahan Uncle, it's time for lunch, you can eat at my house before leaving, and go to work when you are full." Lin Yuan winked at Lin Wei while talking, Let her go to the kitchen and bring two more bowls and chopsticks.

Dahan, as his name suggests, repeatedly waved his hands and refused to sit down.Uncle Lin became more active, and smiled while refusing: "Today is not a good day for eating. Another day, when Uncle Lin finishes his work, he will definitely come to your house for dinner."

Glancing at Lin Yuan with admiration, Third Uncle Lin got back to business, and said to the Lin family with some embarrassment: "Second brother, you know about the boss and the second boy, right? The two of us are here today for this matter. It’s easy to say, it’s mainly you. Hey, third brother knows that you have severed ties, and Yongle is not your nephew anymore, but I still want to ask you, do you want to take this money, or not? ?”

Membership money is actually the respect that people in a village give to the deceased in the face of the same village. Because there is no close blood relationship or close friendship, they usually take share money.

However, if there is a blood relative or a very good friend, you have to pay the tribute yourself, so that the gift money will be more.

The third uncle Lin came to ask Lin Jiaxin if he would take the share money, in fact, he wanted to ask whether he would pay the tribute as the second uncle or as a fellow villager.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Lin Jiaxin also understood the meaning.

Lin Jiaxin was silent for a while, no one knew what was going on in his head.Sitting aside, Lin Yuan was no longer in the mood to eat. Just when she was about to say "No", Lin Jiaxin suddenly raised her head and said, "We will take the money."

Taking it means that he doesn't recognize Lin Yongle as his nephew.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised.

Uncle Lin and the big man were also very surprised. Lin Jiaxin is famous for his filial piety, and he had no choice but to sever ties with the old house. Now there is an opportunity to return, why not seize it?

Lin Jiaxin smiled indifferently: "Over there, it has nothing to do with us. Last time we went to deliver moon cakes, my eldest sister was scolded by them. If you have a good intention, you may not get it." Good news, since that's the case, why should we rush to be scolded?"

I see.Lin Yuan didn't speak, but her heart was very warm. This time, what happened to Lin Yongle might be exactly what he said. What if they paid for the tribute, but they still couldn't get their approval?Since the results are all bad, it is better not to report this hope in the first place.

Uncle Lin nodded: "Yes, your mother and the others, hey, they are also confused. They don't want such good sons and granddaughters, but they prefer to favor those two who are not up to date. Well, you can continue to eat, we go to the next family. "

Lin Jiaxin gave the two of them the share money, made an appointment with them to come to the house for dinner next time, and sent them out.

Mrs. Liu watched the children from the sidelines the whole time without saying anything, but she agreed with her man's actions very much.

Lin Yuan felt that her parents were already very kind. When her younger brother died young, Mrs. Ma made sarcastic remarks. Now that it was her son's turn to die, instead of going forward to ridicule her, her parents followed suit. It is customary in the village to give them share money and prepare tributes for Lin Yongle.

I just don't know if Lin Yongle can't enter the ancestral grave, so he has to dig a hole in the back mountain to bury him.This kind of person who was kind-hearted when he was alive must not be buried next to her little brother. What if he becomes a ghost and only knows how to bully others?She didn't want her brother to be bullied at all, whether it was alive or dead.
