Chapter 44 Liquidation
The first day of the new year.
It's still dark outside, but the family area is already buzzing with firecrackers.
When Wei Mingchuan heard the noise, he also stood up. Lin Nianyin stayed on the bed with the little girl for a while before getting up.
Not long after, I heard many children shouting "Happy New Year, Happy New Year" outside.
Lin Nianyin quickly took out the melon seeds, peanuts, and candies prepared at home and waited for the children to come over.
Not long after Lin Nianyin got ready, she saw many children coming to the door with bags in hand, shouting New Year greetings before they even entered.
Lin Nianyin gave each child who came over something to spread joy and waited until they left before entering the kitchen.
Wei Mingchuan has already cooked breakfast.
It's dumplings.
He filled a bowl for Lin Nianyin and asked, "Those children are gone."?
Lin Nianyin nodded, glanced at the gray sky outside, and couldn't help but smile: "Children today are so impatient. It's not even bright yet."
Wei Mingchuan smiled and said: "We were like this when we were kids. What we looked forward to the most was the Chinese New Year."
Lin Nianyin also laughed: "That's right, I said the wrong thing."
While talking, Lin Nianyin heard movement again.
She was about to go to the main room to see what was going on. Wei Mingchuan held her shoulders and said, "Don't move. Eat first, and I'll go take a look."
Lin Nianyin nodded, and soon she saw Wei Mingchuan bringing several children over.
Lin Nianyin took a closer look and saw that it was Han Hongxing leading Cen Wangsu and the other kids.
Lin Nianyin said: "Why did you come so early? Have you eaten?"
Several children smiled and shook their heads, and Han Hongxing shouted: "Teacher Lin, we agreed yesterday that we would be the first to come to your house today to pay New Year greetings, so we gathered as soon as we got up and came over!"
As he said that, Han Hongxing bowed down to Lin Nianyin and said with a smile, "Happy New Year to Teacher Lin, Happy New Year to Uncle Wei!"
Cen Wangsu and the other children also imitated Han Hongxing and said, "Happy New Year to Aunt (Lin)! Happy New Year to Uncle (Wei)!"
Lin Nianyin smiled and said: "Happy New Year to you too, would you like to have something at our house?"
Han Hongxing quickly shook her head, "That's not okay. If my mother finds out, she will definitely deal with me later."
It's really not appropriate to eat at someone else's house early on the first day of the new year. Lin Nianyin said: "Okay, I won't keep you anymore. Here, this is a red envelope for you."
Han Hongxing immediately jumped up and said, "We still have red envelopes!"
"Yes." Lin Nianyin nodded, and after passing out the red envelopes, she gave each child some candies and snacks, and then they left with a smile.
Lin Nianyin left Cen Wangsu behind, rubbed his little head, and said, "Susu hasn't eaten either?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head and said sheepishly: "I came to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt as soon as I got up."
"So Su Su is so kind to us," Lin Nianyin said with a smile: "How about we Su Su stay and have dinner with our uncle and aunt? We can go out to pay New Year greetings with Brother Hongxing and the others later. Let Brother Hongxing lead you, several children."
Cen Wangsu's little mouth moved and his brows wrinkled slightly, "But grandpa and grandma are still at home."
Lin Nianyin glanced at Wei Mingchuan and then said, "Then just ask your uncle to talk to Grandpa and Grandma."
Wei Mingchuan also patted Cen Wangsu on the back of the head, "Listen to your aunt."
Cen Wangsu pursed his lips and finally nodded, "Yes."
Wei Mingchuan went out to report the news. Lin Nianyin served Cen Wangsu a bowl of dumplings and asked him to eat slowly.
While eating, children came over from time to time, and Lin Nianyin could only get up to entertain them.
When Lin Nianyin came from outside again, she saw that Cen Wangsu had finished eating and was lying in front of the little girl's car talking. He also took a red envelope and stuffed it into the little girl's hand seriously.
Lin Nianyin raised her eyebrows, smiled, and looked at it for a while before saying, "What is Su Su doing?"
Cen Wangsu turned his head and glanced at Lin Nianyin before whispering: "I'll give my sister a New Year's red envelope."
Lin Nianyin walked over and said, "Why would Su Su think of giving a red envelope to her sister?"
Cen Wangsu replied seriously: "Because I am older and my sister is younger, I want to give my sister a red envelope."
"Okay." Lin Nianyin rubbed Cen Wangsu's little head. She didn't look at how much money Cen Wangsu gave the little girl. Instead, she said, "My sister can't speak yet, but Auntie thanks her brother Su Su for her." .”
Cen Wangsu nodded, then shook his head, "You're welcome, I'm her brother, this is what I should be doing."
"Su Su is so good." Lin Nianyin couldn't help but laugh, then rubbed Cen Wangsu's head, changed the topic, and asked: "Is Su Su full? Do you want some more?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "I'm full."
He also touched his belly and said, "It's bulging and very full."
"It's bulging." Lin Nianyin also touched it and then said: "Then Susu will play at home for a while, and later go to New Year's greetings with Brother Hongxing and the others. Don't go out alone, do you understand. ?"
Cen Wangsu nodded obediently.
As the sky gets brighter, more and more people come out.
Lin Nianyin didn't have time to keep an eye on Cen Wangsu. She just told him to be careful on the road and not run too fast when he came over to say that he and Han Hongxing were going out to pay New Year greetings.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the children came back after doing New Year's greetings.
Han Hongxing and the others went back to their respective houses, shouting about what they had earned today, and grabbing the best things inside.
Cen Wangsu carried his bag into Lin Nianyin's house and poured out all the money he earned.
Lin Nianyin didn't say anything, just to see what he wanted to do.
As a result, the child sorted the different things, then picked out the best White Rabbit toffee and carried it in his clothes. He looked at Lin Nianyin and said, "Aunt, can my sister eat candies now? I want to give the White Rabbit to my sister. eat."
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "It's not possible yet."
Cen Wangsu said "Ah" in disappointment, couldn't help but look at the little girl in the car, sighed and said, "When can my sister eat sweets?"
Lin Nianyin said: "Probably you will have to wait until you celebrate the New Year next year before you can eat it."
Cen Wangsu blinked his eyes counted the time, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. If I want to say New Year's greetings next year, won't I have to wait another year?"
Lin Nianyin smiled and said, "Yes, my sister can only eat a little bit at that time."
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "It will be too long. Grandma said you shouldn't keep food for a long time, otherwise, it will expire over time, and if you eat it again, you will get a bad stomach. I originally wanted to keep the white rabbit for my sister."
Lin Nianyin found it funny to see Cen Wangsu being so serious.
She said, "If it doesn't work this year, just wait until next year. Maybe my sister will compete with you for candy by then, and you may not be willing to give her candy by then."
Cen Wangsu shook his head, "No way, I'll let my sister do it."
Then he walked up to Lin Nianyin, held the white rabbit in his little hand, and said, "Auntie, I'll give it for you to eat."
Lin Nianyin patted Cen Wangsu's head in a funny way, "Auntie is an adult and doesn't like sweets, so you can keep them for yourself."
After a pause, Lin Nianyin added: "But don't eat too much sugar every day, otherwise you will get tooth decay, do you hear me?"
Cen Wangsu nodded, puffed out his mouth, and said, "I will remember it. Grandma also said not to eat too much. I... I will just take two candies a day."
Lin Nianyin: "Susu is so good."
In the next few days, the family area was still very lively with people dropping off.
Especially at Lin Nianyin’s house.
Because of the relationship between the two factories last year and the mechanical courses, many people kept running to Lin Nianyin's home, saying they came to pay New Year's greetings and express their gratitude.
Lin Nianyin felt that every day when she opened her eyes, she would see people, and she would never have a moment of leisure.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Mingchuan will officially go to work. Lin Nianyin also slowly calmed down, and life returned to its normal rhythm.
The school was about to start soon, so Lin Nianyin began to prepare lessons at home and rarely went out.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Wei Mingchuan said early in the morning that there was a Lantern Festival party in the army and asked Lin Nianyin if she wanted to go and watch it.
Lin Nianyin happened to be a little dizzy during this period of lesson preparation, and she heard Wei Mingchuan say that the party would be indoors, so she agreed.
There is a lack of excitement this year. The theme of the party is similar to the last one on August 15th, and there is not much innovation.
Lin Nianyin felt a little bored after watching for a while. She couldn't help but glance around and saw Su Yingxiu, who came with her, also had a bored face.
Just as Lin Nianyin was about to look away, Su Yingxiu also looked over.
After being stunned for a moment, Su Yingxiu asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you feel bored too."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "That's right, this show is similar to the last August 15th party."
On August 15th, Lin Nianyin could still see in, but now that she was doing it again, the freshness was gone.
Su Yingxiu asked curiously: "It hasn't changed at all?"
Lin Nianyin shook her head first, then nodded, and said helplessly: "It's pretty much the same anyway, 80% of it is the same."
Su Yingxiu immediately pouted, "That's too boring. If every party is like this, the art troupe will be too relaxed."
Lin Nianyin shook her head.
I thought that now was not the future, so naturally, there wouldn’t be those entertainment projects where a hundred flowers bloom.
In the second half of the game, Lin Nianyin was a little tired, and the baby in her arms was also sleepy, so she went back first with Wei Mingchuan.
Su Yingxiu also wanted to leave, but Yaya was staring at the stage seriously, so she had no choice but to accompany her.
On the way, Lin Nianyin thought of what happened a year ago and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, you said before that Yang Wenna's matter would be dealt with after the new year. Now that the fifteenth is about to pass, why haven't you heard anything yet?"
Wei Mingchuan said: "Soon."
Lin Nianyin couldn't help but ask, "Will there be much movement then?"
Wei Mingchuan said: "It shouldn't be small. Don't discuss this with others in private."
Lin Nianyin nodded and simply changed the subject and said, "Are you free during this period? We should be able to get the photos we took at the photo studio last time. If you are free, we can go out together. If you don’t have time, I’ll find someone else to go with me, and I'll just want to ask about the situation at the cotton mill.”
Wei Mingchuan did the math and said, "Then I'll ask for leave these two days to go out with you. I guess it won't be easy to go out when Yang Wenna's incident comes out."
Lin Nianyin nodded.
Wei Mingchuan asked for leave, drove back at noon the next day, and told Lin Nianyin that he had asked for half a day's leave in the afternoon.
Lin Nianyin's eyelids twitched immediately, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wei Mingchuan said "hmm", but didn't elaborate on what it was. However, Lin Nianyin guessed that it might be related to Yang Wenna's matter.
After all, the New Year has passed and the fifteenth has passed. It’s time to settle accounts.
Lin Nianyin went to Aunt Yang and Su Yingxiu to discuss the situation, then took their notes and left with Wei Mingchuan.
When they arrived in the city, they went to the photo studio first.
After taking the original photos, he turned to find Li Xiangqian.
Li Xiangqian was still not at home, and Lin Nianyin and the others went to the cotton spinning factory.
The gatekeeper was still the old man from last time. When they saw Lin Nianyin, they recognized her immediately and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, aren't you two of the people who came here last time? I heard that you are still the one who repaired the loom for our factory, and everyone in the factory is praising it, why are you the only ones here today?"
Lin Nianyin said hello, and then said that she wanted to find Li Xiangqian.
The uncle said, "Then go in and look for it yourself. The director and the factory director are all here."
Lin Nianyin was a little surprised that this man didn't stop them now.
Immediately, Lin Nianyin came to understand again.
The matter last time was quite big, and in the end, it was Factory Director Li who sent them out. It can be seen that the security guard also knows the so-called relationship very well.
Lin Nianyin thanked her, and then Wei Mingchuan drove in.
After finding Li Xiangqian, Lin Nianyin handed over the Lantern Festival gifts and then asked about the school's collection of used items.
Li Xiangqian quickly said that he had collected a lot during the Chinese New Year and could take it back to Lin Nianyin today. Lin Nianyin said that she would go back with him later to get it.
Then, Lin Nianyin asked about the work mentioned last time.
Lin Nianyin said: "Is Master Chen still working?"
Li Qianqian paused for a moment before saying, "How can I not go to work? His whole family relies on him to eat alone."
Lin Nianyin raised her eyebrows, "Why, isn't it true that he is a grown-up man who do what he said, and yet he can stay here shamelessly?"
Li Xiangqian felt embarrassed when he thought about what happened at that time. He said: "Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. It's not because our factory has better technology. Sometimes the machine will inevitably have some problems, and others may not be able to fix it."
Lin Nianyin said: "I said at the time that I could provide you with people who are guaranteed to have better skills than that master Chen who has a higher eye than his top."
Li Qianqian touched the back of his head and said with a wry smile: "Ms. Lin, I won't hide it from you. The factory director also said that we can take people in, but Master Chen...if he doesn't take the initiative to leave, we can't really drive the person out. Besides, if he really stops working, what will happen to his family? Isn’t this forcing people to die? If something happens again, our factory will also bear the consequences. No."
Lin Nianyin was not surprised by this result, so she said, "Then does he still ask for 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan for work now as he did before?"
Li Qianqian waved his hands hurriedly, "He can't wait to shrink his neck all day now, especially some of the women he looked down on before. Now they look at him in a weird way. At first, Master Chen is angry and yells back, but later he says There are too many people, and some people want him to leave, saying that if he didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be a man, but he can’t really leave unless the whole family doesn’t have anything to eat or drink.”
Li shook his head forward, "Then he has given up. Man, it's better to be more virtuous. He's just getting retribution now."
Lin Nianyin thought about it for a moment and felt that Master Chen, who had a higher eye than his head, was quite good to be like this.
Now that the matter has been extended to the family's wealth and life, Lin Nianyin can't really force Master Chen to fulfill his promise, so he doesn't bother to mention him again.
Lin Nianyin said: "Then I will go back and train the students for a while, and then send them to you. Now I will go with you to pick up the waste items you collected during this period."
"You are so anxious, Teacher Lin, why don't you meet our factory director?" Li Xiangqian said quickly.
Lin Nianyin glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late, we have to hurry up and go back, so I won't see him for the time being. There's nothing else to do for the time being. I'll go back and wait until the students are okay, then I'll come find him again." "
Li Xiangqian thought that Lin Nianyin and the others were far away, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you now."
After coming out of Li Xiangqian's house, Lin Nianyin thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing else for the time being, so she said to Wei Mingchuan: "It should be fine, let's go back."
Wei Mingchuan started the car and said, "Would you like to go to the department store?"
Lin Nianyin thought about the things at home and said, "How about buying some milk powder?"
The two then went to the department store to buy milk powder before heading back all the way.
After going to the school first and unloading all the waste items, Lin Nianyin went to Principal Fang and handed her all her photos.
Then Lin Nianyin and Wei Mingchuan went back and divided the remaining photos.
When Wei Mingchuan went to return the car, Lin Nianyin began to put photos into the large photo frame. When Wei Mingchuan came back, she hung a copy in their bedroom so that they could look at it anytime they wanted.
While Lin Nianyin and the others were busy, several children who received the photos were also very excited. Except for Cen Wangsu, who was still accompanying Principal Fang at school, the others finally chatted together, and then gradually gathered around Lin Nianyin. inside the home.
Lin Nianyin showed them the photos and let them play by themselves.
When Principal Fang brought Cen Wangsu over, the other children were still chattering around a few photos as before, and they were even happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Cen Wangsu also gathered around, reluctantly looking at himself in the photo, the smile on his face not stopping.
It wasn't until it was time for dinner and the other children were called back by their parents that things calmed down in the house.
Lin Nianyin left Principal Fang and Cen Wangsu to eat at home.
After the meal, Lin Nianyin handed a previously installed photo frame to Cen Wangsu and said, "Su Su, this big photo frame and the photos inside were given to you by your aunt. There are photos of you alone and photos of you and other people. Auntie It’s all been put away for you, you can ask Grandpa to hang it up for you later, and you can look at it whenever you want.”
Cen Wangsu touched the glass on the photo frame in disbelief, "Give them all to me?"
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Yes, I'll give it all to you. If you take another photo in the future, you can put it in. When this photo frame is full, Aunt will prepare a new one for you."
Cen Wangsu pursed his lips, looked at Principal Fang, then at Lin Nianyin, and finally accepted it, "Thank you, aunt, and thank you, uncle."
Lin Nianyin rubbed Cen Wangsu's little head and said, "You're a welcome little cutie."
-
On the third day after Lin Nianyin and the others returned home, the affairs of the art troupe that had been suppressed before completely broke out.
Not much is known about it in the family area. It's all because of the vague words or two from the men in the family, and then some rumors are spread privately.
However, because there was always pressure from above, they were not allowed to discuss these matters at will, and the recruitment of workers in the factory was also mentioned.
Because there was such a carrot hanging in front of us, and because of last year’s experience, there wasn’t much of a disturbance.
But it is impossible to completely prohibit other people's private speech.
Even whenever I go out, I can feel that I am obviously no longer relaxed now than before, and many people's faces are involuntarily tense.
Because Wei Mingchuan never hid it from Lin Nianyin from the beginning, he would sometimes talk about it.
For example, Yang Wenna was taken away and Liao Tingting was also censored.
Their leader Fang Lina was also investigated.
Even everyone in the entire art troupe is silent now, and many people are reporting on each other privately, causing many minor and minor things.
That's not all.
What's more, this matter has also affected some people in the military region, and even outside.
However, Wei Mingchuan did not tell Lin Nianyin specifically about these. Lin Nianyin didn't take the initiative to inquire.
This incident broke out on the 18th day of the first lunar month, and until the end of the first lunar month, it still showed no signs of stopping. It looked like the leaders above were turning on all cylinders and had to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud.
It’s February in the blink of an eye.
The location here is in the south, it has already warmed up, and many branches have even sprouted new buds.
Winter has completely passed, New Year has arrived, and the vegetation has begun to grow green.
On this day, Lin Nianyin had just returned from school when she saw Aunt Yang coming to the door with a pair of thousand-layer bottoms.
Not long after, Aunt Yang said: "Xiao Lin, tomorrow is February 2nd. I guess the marriage in the old Song family may be ruined."
Lin Nianyin recalled for a while before she remembered what Aunt Yang was talking about.
She frowned and said, "It's been so many years since Captain Liu's incident, is it possible that this incident can still affect him?"
Aunt Yang shook her head, "How do I know this? But you see, things haven't calmed down over there yet, and the incident with Lao Liu was quite a big fuss at the time. It's normal for them to think about it, and even turn around and continue." It’s not impossible to check.”
Lin Nianyin frowned, "It's been so long, can they still find out anything?"
"Who knows." Aunt Yang shook her head, and then said, "But if the army really wants to investigate something, even if it can't be a complete investigation, it's probably okay to investigate the sixth or seventh level."
Lin Nianyin thought for a moment and then said: "Then if they really want to find out something, their family... will have to..."
Aunt Yang nodded and sighed, "To be honest, although I am angry with Lao Song now, I don't want anything to happen to their family."
"Besides," Aunt Yang put down the Mille Layer Bottom and shook her head, "Originally, their family had planned their wedding tomorrow, but now it's all ruined. If something happens next, I'm worried that Lao Song won't be able to bear it and take things too hard."
Lin Nianyin frowned, "Is it that serious?"
Aunt Yang shook her head, " I don't know, but you still have to think of the worst side of this kindñ of thing."
Lin Nianyin originally had no such idea in her mind, but somehow, ever since Aunt Yang mentioned it, she couldn't help but pay attention to Aunt Song and her family when she had free time.
But that house was usually quiet, and Aunt Song didn't go out often, and even when she did go out, she didn't have much contact with other people. It was really impossible to say that she could observe anything.
But just as Aunt Yang knew Aunt Song, not long after, something happened in the family area.
At that time, it was already halfway through February.
Lin Nianyin was in class at school, when she saw Principal Fang knocking on the door with a cold face, and then said to Lin Nianyin: "Teacher Lin, excuse me, I'm looking for Liu Changsheng."
Liu Changsheng was the son of Captain Liu and Aunt Song. They had previously arranged to get married on February 2, the day the dragon raised its head.
When Lin Nianyin started classes here, many people from the family area came to sign up.
After half a year of screening, a lot of them were still retained.
Liu Changsheng is one of them.
When Lin Nianyin heard Principal Fang's words and thought of Aunt Yang's speculation a few days ago, her eyelids suddenly jumped, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
But Lin Nianyin didn't dare to say anything or even show it. Instead, she said, "Liu Changsheng, go out with the principal and take a look."
When Captain Liu planned to divorce, Liu Changsheng had already remembered the incident and knew about his mother's suicide.
There was such a big fuss in the art troupe this time, and his father was indeed temporarily suspended for investigation during this period, which caused his mood to not be very good during this period.
At this moment, a bad feeling filled his heart, and he felt like something was falling down little by little.
Liu Changsheng stood up silently and went out.
Principal Fang took him away.
Lin Nianyin glanced at their backs and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing the students in the class starting to discuss in low voices, Lin Nianyin picked up the ruler and knocked on the blackboard, saying quietly: "Quiet."
Looking around the classroom, Lin Nianyin spoke again, "Let's continue talking about the working principle of the loom. Remember to take notes. This is related to whether you can get a job in the cotton mill in a few months. Don't be distracted. .”
Those who were listening to the lecture immediately regained their concentration and did not think about what happened to Liu Changsheng's family.
After Lin Nianyin's class ended, she assigned homework to the students in the class before going to Principal Fang's office.
There was no one in Principal Fang's office, but Cen Wangsu was there. And he was playing with the little girl
Lin Nianyin walked over and asked, "Su Su, why are you alone? Where is Principal Fang?"
Cen Wangsu immediately looked over and said, "Grandma and brother Changsheng have gone back, and asked me to take care of my younger sister, and then go home with my aunt."
Lin Nianyin suddenly frowned and asked, "Did grandma tell you what happened?"
Cen Wangsu shook his head.
Lin Nianyin couldn't think of anything for a while, so she simply picked up the little girl and checked her. Seeing that she was clean and didn't need to be changed, she took Cen Wangsu and slowly started to go home.
When Lin Nianyin returned home, she felt something was different around her.
Especially there were many people gathered in front of Aunt Song's house, all chirping quietly.
Lin Nianyin stopped and frowned, and when she saw Su Yingxiu and the others were at the door, she walked over and asked, "What happened?"
Su Yingxiu pursed her lips at the door of Aunt Song's house, "The guy from that house hanged himself."
"Ah?" Lin Nianyin was suddenly shocked, and her heart began to beat loudly.
Aunt Yang actually predicted about it.
Lin Nianyin took a deep breath and managed to calm down before asking again: "Have you been rescued? Is anyone okay?"
Su Yingxiu said: "She was lucky. She was found just after she was hung up. Nothing serious happened. The doctor also came to see her and said it was nothing serious."
People's safety is good.
Lin Nianyin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask about the cause and effect.
Su Yingxiu shook her head, "I'm not sure, anyway, Aunt Yang said she met Aunt Song when she came back from the food factory early in the morning, and then said that Aunt Song was weird and she usually lived frugally, but today she bought some I bought a lot of things and even talked to her. Not long after, Aunt Yang felt uneasy, so she went to find Aunt Song, and then she found that she had hanged herself."
Su Yingxiu sighed, "Aunt Yang called us to help put her down and then started calling for people, and slowly it became like this."
"Are Aunt Yang and the others still in there now?" Lin Nianyin asked.
Su Yingxiu nodded, "Yes."
Lin Nianyin said nothing more.
There are a lot of people now, and few people know what is going on in Aunt Song's house, so she would rather not join in the fun at this time, otherwise, it will be annoying.
After calling Cen Wangsu to go home, Lin Nianyin cooked something to eat.
Only when Cen Wangsu and the little girl fell asleep did Lin Nianyin have time to look outside.
There were still many people around Aunt Song's door, but they didn't hear any movement inside her house.
Lin Nianyin noticed that Tian Guihua next door had something wrong with her expression.
After thinking about it, Lin Nianyin walked over and asked, "Xiaotian, what's wrong with you?"
Tian Guihua was looking at Aunt Song's house without noticing the sounds around her.
Tian Guihua was called by Lin Nianyin, and she immediately trembled.
Tian Guihua's mouth moved, "Lin...Teacher Lin."
Lin Nianyin glanced at her, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous?"
"I...I don't have anything." Tian Guihua subconsciously tightened her clothes, "No, it's nothing."
This looks like something is up.
Lin Nianyin remembered that Meng Chengyi had not been having a good time during this period, and also thought about what happened at Aunt Song's house just now. She paused and couldn't help but say: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hold it in all the time. "
Tian Guihua shook her head repeatedly, "It's really...it's nothing."
Lin Nianyin was not the kind of person who liked to force others. Since Tian Guihua said this repeatedly, she did not continue to ask questions.
Su Yingxiu saw it at the door and couldn't help but curl her lips. When Lin Nianyin came back, Su Yingxiu said: "It's useless what you say to her. I guess she will never change her life."
Lin Nianyin also shook her head, "I just saw something wrong with her expression. In addition, Meng Chengyi has also been implicated during this period. I'm worried that she won't be able to think about it when the time comes."
Su Yingxiu frowned and said, "Then I shouldn't give it to you."
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "That's what I think, nothing would be better."
Su Yingxiu also shook her head and said: "No, she is not Aunt Song. The children at home are all grown up. Even if she really can't think about it for a while, it's because she feels there is nothing to worry about. She is different. Her family is a bitch. She's still young. Besides, Yang Duozhi said that Meng Chengyi's matter is not that big. If she can reach that point, you should leave her alone and let her go. Anyway, I think she is hopeless.
Lin Nianyin nodded but said nothing more.
After all, she couldn't be responsible for everyone. At most, she could just ask more when she saw them.
If she couldn't tell the result, she couldn't keep staring.
In the middle of the afternoon, Lin Nianyin still had classes, so she took Cen Wangsu and the little girl to class.
When she came back from school after class, Wei Mingchuan also came back from work not long after.
Wei Mingchuan glanced at Lin Nianyin first, probably to confirm that she was fine, and then said, "What happened at Captain Liu's house over there today didn't scare you, right?"
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "I'm just a little surprised. Aunt Yang just told me about this some time ago. I was wondering if she might be overthinking it, but I didn't expect to hear the news that she hanged herself today."
Wei Mingchuan said, "It's good that you weren't scared. I originally wanted to come back after hearing the news, but I really can't leave."
"I'm fine." Lin Nianyin patted Wei Mingchuan's forearm, "I didn't even enter their house today because I was afraid that if Aunt Song saw me, she would think much about it, so I just didn't think much and ask about it."
Wei Mingchuan said "Yeah" and said, "Don't worry about this matter. She's old enough, and no one will talk nonsense about what happened before. It's best if you pretend you don't know."
Lin Nianyin said: "Okay, I understand."
"By the way, have you found out what happened with Captain Liu?" Thinking of this, Lin Nianyin asked again.
Wei Mingchuan shook his head, "It's been so long since it happened. I won't be able to find out for a while."
Lin Nianyin stopped asking.
A few days later, when Lin Nianyin was having dinner at home, Aunt Yang came in and said, "Xiao Lin, do you have boiling water at home? I'll pour some water to drink. I don't have it at home. I have to wait for the boil to start. I'm almost there." I’m so thirsty!”
Lin Nianyin quickly poured a glass of water for Aunt Yang, and then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Aunt Yang waved her hand, "No."
"I still have a lot at home. I'll get some for you, and you can eat at my house." Lin Nianyin said that she was going to the kitchen.
"No, no, no, no..." Aunt Yang immediately stopped Lin Nianyin and said, "I'm not hungry. I really can't eat. Stop working. I'm not the kind of person to be polite to you. I really don't want to eat now."
Lin Nianyin noticed that Aunt Yang came out of Aunt Song's house. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still worried about their family's affairs?"
Aunt Yang nodded first, then shook her head, "That's right, but that old lady Song hasn't listened to my advice until now. It's been so many days, and I can't even talk her out. I've been talking all these days, hey.
I am so worried!”
Lin Nianyin thought for a moment and asked: "In the final analysis, the matter of Captain Liu has not been finalized yet. Why can't she just stop thinking about it all of a sudden? Besides, isn't Chang Sheng's marriage still being delayed?"
Aunt Yang shook her head, "Who knows, maybe this incident has irritated her. She said before that she had no shame in living and felt that living was boring. Even Chang Sheng couldn't persuade her."
"She also said that she had wanted to die for a long time. She had been living just for Chang Sheng, but she didn't expect that this year's troubles would prevent Chang Sheng from getting married. Now the house is in a mess and she feels bored, so she might as well just die. And she doesn’t have to listen to other people’s opinions.”
Lin Nianyin was silent for a moment, "Not many people know about the old stories of their family. Besides, the family area is much better now than before. Not many people will talk about what is there and what is not."
"No, we tried to persuade her in this way, but she just didn't listen!" Aunt Yang sighed, waving her hands and saying, "I can't persuade her, old lady Song is too stubborn. How many times have we tried to persuade her, but she's still like that. It’s no use even crying and begging for Chang Sheng, now we are all worried that if we are not careful, she will commit suicide again.”
Before Lin Nianyin could say anything, she heard someone outside say: "Since she is not even afraid of death, she is still afraid of rumors. Besides, even if those rumors are spread in the family
area, she can choose to leave, or pretend that she didn't hear them, or else, Just go up and beat people up until they get scared, that's all."
Lin Nianyin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Su Yingxiu, shook her head, and said, "It's different. Some people think that face is more important than life."
Su Yingxiu pouted, "Then her life is really cheap!"
Lin Nianyin did not answer this, but looked at Aunt Yang and asked: "What should we do now? I see that you have been at her house during this time and have not discussed any regulations."
Aunt Yang waved her hand, "I don't have any ideas. You also know that I haven't read any books, and I can't explain any big principles. After saying so much, she doesn't want to listen. There is nothing I can do. I can't pin her in my belt. Let God watch it every day.”
She sighed and said, "It depends on what other people say. Anyway, I have no choice."
Lin Nianyin said: "It's hard to persuade someone who wants to die. Her life is her own. No one can keep looking at her and be responsible for her."
Aunt Yang sighed again, and after Gululu drank a glass of water, she said, "That's what I say, but it's still a life. But in this situation, I really can't help her."
She looked at Lin Nianyin again and said, "Xiao Lin, you study a lot, why don't you help me think about it."
Lin Nianyin couldn't laugh or cry, "This kind of thing doesn't depend on academic qualifications. I can't help even if I want to. And you just said that you all took turns to persuade her. Even Chang Sheng cried and begged, but Chang Sheng couldn't help her, and the rest of us will be even more useless.”
Aunt Yang frowned, "Then we can't just watch her die. We always miss it. What if something goes wrong?"
Lin Nianyin thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I think the sugar cane forest is busy now, and it will be collected soon. Can you think of a way to pull her out to work and keep her busy? In addition, don't mention the past and present things in front of her. Try to pretend that these things have not happened. Maybe no one will say those bad things in her ears. Plus she is busy until late every day. And can stop thinking about committing suicide.”
This was the first time Aunt Yang heard such remarks, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Is this okay?"
Lin Nianyin shook her head, "I don't know, but you can't persuade her now, so you might as well let her get busy. Maybe if she is busy, the anger in her heart will dissipate. Isn't that how people are, sometimes The harder you hold it in, the more you think about it, and the more you think about it, the easier it is to get distracted. When you get busy, you may not have time to think about those messy things."
"Otherwise," Lin Nianyin looked at Aunt Yang, "you will have no choice but to lock her up."
Aunt Yang thought for a while, "Then I'll try it later, this is all I can do now."
