Chapter 535 Catastrophe strikes, each fly their own
Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
Lin Qing He was rushing to find faults back then. All was fine if old Lin Family was a little soft, even if they didnât her a lot of help. But how did old Lin Family react?
She didnât hesitate to make such a cut. For so many years, she hadnât asked the old coupleâs situation. Nor did she send a penny back.
She had put it into action.
She taken on the unfilial label. Who cared what other said. It was fine that she can live comfortably.
But in this situation, she and Zhou Qing Bai had to go back.
Not a problem. Second and Third were on vacation and Eldest was back. Going back now, they can come back before the New Year.
Lin Qing He first made a call to Third Sister-in-law.
"You guys are on holiday. No one would answer the phone in the office. So I called Xiao Meiâs side." Said Third Sister-in-law.
"Whatâs the situation now?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Their old house was too old. It was collapsed from the snow in the middle of the night. Uncle Lin reportedly ran out quickly, while Auntie Lin got crushed," Third Sister-in-law told.
So this the true portrayal of catastrophe strike, each fly their own?
Lin Qing He was silent for a while and said, "Then we will go back today."
"Then Iâll let your third brother know." Third Sister-in-law acknowledged.
Lin Qing He hung up the phone with her and then came to the train station with Zhou Qing Bai to catch their ride. As for the home, it was left to the three sons to manage.
It took a few days to reach the county city.
She and Zhou Qing Bai first came over to Third Brother Linâs shop. Third Brother Lin wasnât at the shop right now. Only Third Sister-in-law Lin was there.
Seeing Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai, Third Sister-in-law Lin called out with joy.
"Where is she now? The hospital or at old home?" Lin Qing He said
"Took her back to old home the day before yesterday. She passed last night." Third Sister-in-law Lin answered.
Lin Qing He didnât have any expression and asked, "Where is Third Brother?"
"Heâs in the village." Third Sister-in-law Lin answered. Then she grumbled: "First Branch and Second Branch are really rotten. When this winter came this year, Ah Xiuâs father went back to the village to look around, he felt that the roof wasnât stable. He brought them a cartful of things back for them to repair. However, those things were divided between First Branch and First Branch. The old house didnât get any repair. The snow fell a little bit that day and it was crushed."
Lin Qing He frowned.
"Since this winter, we sent home a lot of food. There were a lot of eggs and meat included. But those things often get divided between the two branches. Canât say anything about that. However those are for the roof and they took them!" Third Sister-in-law Lin uttered angrily.
Lin Qing He asked, "When will the funeral be done?"
Third Sister-in-law Lin chattered a bit to her, so her Third Sister wonât assume her family didnât take care of the two elders. They had really took care of them.
However their son wasnât just her husband. In front of him were two older ones.
"The funeral will be the day after tomorrow," Third Sister-in-law Lin replied.
Lin Qing He nodded and said, "Letâs go over that side first and then go back to the village later. Will my Third Brother come back?"
"He will get home in the evening." Third Sister-in-law Lin responded.
Lin Qing He nodded and followed Zhou Qing Bai over to Third Brotherâs shop.
"Itâs already at this time. Stay at our home for dinner before going back?" Third Sister-in-law urged.
"Weâll go back to the village to eat." Lin Qing He shook her head.
After hopping on their bike, they headed back to the village.
The keys to their house were all placed at Eldest Sister-in-lawâs side. Eldest Sister-in-law had clean up the house for them and said, "I estimated youâll be coming back soon."
The news that Mother Lin was gone had spread. No matter how bad their relationship was, she had to come back to send her off now she was gone.
"This New Year." Lin Qing He sighed softly.
Zhou Qing Bai assured: "Itâs nothing. Iâll go over tomorrow."
"Why are you going tomorrow? Letâs go together the day after tomorrow." Lin Qing He stated. She hadnât been there for a long time. Although she was back to send off, it was only send of. Other things were all male affairs. What part did she, the married daughter, had?
Letâs go together the day after tomorrow.
Eldest Sister-in-law began to prepare dinner as she chatted with Lin Qing He: "Now in the Fangyuan, everyone is scolding old Linâs first branch and second branch for not being filial."
That side wasnât too far away from here. Words spread especially when the snow was so big that it caused people to die.
Whatâs more, over there was the maternal home of famous Lin Qing He.
Since it happened news spread everywhere. Saying before the snow, old Third Lin had brought a lot of good materials back as he wanted his parentsâ roof to be repaired.
Old Third Lin had often sent things back. Every month, a living allowance was given to the two elders. The whole surrounding area knew about this.
This time, the roof repair materials were split between first branch and secondâs roof instead.
It was why this incident happened.
Originally, Mother Lin wasnât young anymore. If there was no such incident, there would be no problem to live for another five or six years. However, her head was hit and she had immediately fainted. Also, her legs were crushed until it was broken.
Although she was sent to the hospital and got treated, they had told them to prepare for her funeral. She had been comatose. Completely unconscious.
These matters spread from Linjia Village. Soon, it spread all everywhere. Eldest Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin were often criticize for being inhumane.
Actually, Eldest Brother Lin was wronged. He didnât want it. It was second branch. Then his wife wanted to copy. So this happened.
Nowadays, it was basically spread all over the several villages in Fangyuan.
Third Brother Lin had already dealt with this affair and went back to the county town. After returning, he realized that his sister and brother-in-law had both returned and went back to Zhoujia Village.
"Iâll go there tomorrow." Third Brother Lin stated.
On the day of the funeral, his wife and children have to go back too.
"I told Third Sister itâs not that we are not filial." Third Sister-in-law Lin mentioned.
"Why talk about those?" Third Brother Lin frowned.
"Got to talk about it! Or else Third Sister will mistakenly think that we arenât taking care of the old couple?" Third Sister-in-law replied.
Third Brother Lin didnât say anything.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had gone back to the village and returned to their home after eating at Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-lawâs.
After travelling so long. they were naturally tired. The couple boiled water, took a hot bath, and then went to bed first.
The next morning, they came over to Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-lawâs for breakfast.
"Old Fourth, when I came over last night, you already fell asleep." Second Brother dropped by.
"Second Brother, have you eaten yet? Letâs eat together?" Eldest Sister-in-law asked.
"Iâve eaten." Second Brother answered.
Eldest Sister-in-law nodded. She scooped a bowl for Eldest Brother and said, "This winter is as cold as the previous one. Itâs extremely freezing."
"Itâs much better now. One can have a full stomach. Before, it was eat until 50% to 60% full." Eldest Brother remarked.
Second Brother grinned. Then he meekly looked at Lin Qing He and asked: "Fourthâs wife, how are San Ni and Ai Guo doing over there? I heard that they have given birth to a big round boy?"
