Chapter 109

Lin Zhaotong said gently, "There is no need to be so troublesome. We came back suddenly this time, so we can stay in the commune. Moreover, I have limited time to come back this time. I also want to talk to the leaders of the commune in the evening. Tomorrow I will wait for Lin Shu and her lover there, and bring them over to pay tribute to grandparents together."

The third uncle's grandfather was stunned, and then the enthusiasm and diligence on his face decreased a little, and said, "Zhaotong, this girl doesn't have my Lin family in her heart... Since you came back, has she told you about the past few years?"

"Yes."

Lin Zhaotong smiled bitterly.

He always knew the shortcomings of the old family, but he also always thought that they were simple and kind. The main reason they looked down on his adopted daughter was because they didn't have that layer of blood relationship.

They thought she wasn't from the old Lin family.

The rural people's ideas were deeply rooted.

You couldn't make them change.

If it was before, he might have just gently expressed his attitude and told them, "Of course I've said it before. It's not easy for Shushu, a girl, to take care of Fengfeng these years." Then the matter would have been covered up.

It was affirmation of his daughter, but at the same time it also covered up the grievances his daughter had suffered over the years.

In his eyes, the old family members were weak and had no culture, so why bother with them?

If it hadn't been for the past five years.

When he was in trouble, these old family members who had always been weak in his eyes and whom he had always treated well and cared for almost forced his daughter and son into a desperate situation and trampled him in the mud, he would definitely have the same attitude...why bother his daughter and son with them?

He sighed and said, "Uncle San, I have already understood what happened in the past. When I was sent down to the countryside, the family was in a bad situation. My uncle teamed up with outsiders to attack Fengfeng, and then took control of Fengfeng and forced Shushu to take out the money and grain left by her mother... It was thanks to Shushu that Fengfeng was saved all these years, otherwise I really don't know what it would be like now." As for the fact that his uncle and aunt teamed up with outsiders to force their daughter to marry, he didn't say much. Because he also knew that this matter was nothing to his uncle San and other people in the old family... After all, in the countryside, it was common for women to be replaced or married to cripples and fools for the sake of their brothers and parents. Under the circumstances at the time, the old family felt that marrying their daughter was good for Fengfeng and him, and that was just what they should do. As soon as Lin Zhaotong finished speaking, his great-grandfather San, no, everyone in the room was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They stared at Lin Zhaotong who said these words calmly in amazement. They wondered if they had heard it wrong. "Zhaotong?"

The third uncle looked at Lin Zhaotong and said, "Did you make a mistake?"

After saying that, he thought of something and his face darkened. He said, "Zhaotong, is this what the girl told you? Do you believe what she said?"

Lin Zhaotong did not say anything.

The third uncle said, "Zhaotong, I was also involved in the incident. I heard that the situation in the city was very bad at that time. The girl went to the countryside by herself. Fengfeng lived with relatives and was helpless. The eldest brother took Fengfeng to their home. Later, the girl went to the eldest brother's house and said in person that she wanted to send Fengfeng to her hometown in the countryside to raise him. In order to take care of Fengfeng, the eldest brother and his wife even moved their family to the countryside... In the end, the girl just wanted to trick Fengfeng away!"

He said angrily.

Back then, he also went to Liangjia Village with his eldest sister-in-law, Old Lady Lin, to ask for someone, but was humiliated by the Liang family and almost driven out of Liangjia Village like someone throwing feces.

At that time, Lin Shu stood behind the Liang family and looked at them coldly.

He still remembers her look...how can that be a girl's look?

So he was not fooled by his elder brother's words.

He knew that his elder brother and his wife must also want the Lin family's wealth...everyone lives in difficulty, it's okay to want some wealth.

But they really want to take care of Fengfeng.

At this time, Li Huiru, who had been sitting next to her without saying anything, spoke up.

She said, "What does our Fengfeng need from them to take care of her?"

"In fact, it wasn't so chaotic outside in 1973. We entrusted Fengfeng to my friends at that time. They were all people of status and experts protected by the state. It was not a problem for Fengfeng to live with them for a while. I sent Shushu to the countryside, and after she settled down, I took Fengfeng to the countryside...Shushu was raised by me, and I can trust her character, cultivation, and knowledge.Fengfeng follows his sister, and I don't worry at all that he will learn any bad habits or be delayed. "

"In fact, my arrangement is indeed correct. Fengfeng has been with his sister for these years. Not only has he not suffered any hardship in life, but he has also attended a regular military school. Whether it is study or health, nothing has been delayed."

"If he follows his uncle's family, what will happen? Like their Lin Guibao and Lin Fubao, who are not good at studying, have bad character, idle at home all day, and fight outside?"

"What's more, I arranged Shushu and Fengfeng, the two siblings, and those things were arranged by me. My uncle and aunt also knew about it. Why did they instigate people to beat Fengfeng as soon as I went there, and then came forward to rescue him, saying that my friend's house was not safe, and forcibly took him away, and asked my friend to give them all the money and food I left at their house... By the way, they said the same thing to Shushu, asking her to hand over all the money, property and things we left for her, and let them support Fengfeng. "

"Uncle San, do you know all these things?"

Li Huiru has always been gentle and elegant, and she is very gentle and generous to Lin Zhaotong's relatives in the countryside.

When did she say such sharp and thorny words?

Lin Zhaotong frowned, but didn't say anything.

The faces of the family of the great-grandfather of the third uncle were so wonderful.

And there were not only their family in the room, but also many neighbors standing nearby.

Everyone's face was also full of surprise!

The great-grandfather of the third uncle opened his mouth, his face flushed, and he felt burning, but he still said: "Second sister-in-law, this, is it wrong, eldest brother, he, he can't..."

Even if he is greedy, he won't...

It was already a lot for Li Huiru to say so much just now.

She didn't want to argue with the people in her hometown.

Now she found that her daughter was really smart.

She took out the paper with the fingerprints of the great-grandfather of Lin from her handbag, pushed it on the table, and said: "Uncle San, can you read? If you don't know them, ask someone to read them to you. These are what my uncle and his family personally recognized after we came back. They are what they did when Zhaotong was in trouble..."

The Lin family used to be a wealthy family in the countryside, otherwise they couldn't send Lin Zhaotong's grandfather to study outside. Although Lin's great-uncle and great-uncle didn't read much, they still studied in private schools for a few years.

The great-uncle hesitated and reached out to pick up the paper.

Then his face changed visibly.

Then he heard Li Huiru say: "I have heard that in the past, there were often cases of eating up the whole family in the countryside, or when parents died, uncles and aunts sold nieces and killed nephews to make a fortune, but I didn't expect that Zhaotong and I were just in trouble, not dead yet, and our children were forced to this extent. "

This can be said to be very serious.

The third uncle instinctively wanted to refute it, but the black and white words on the paper and the red handprint on his hand, can he refute it by just touching his upper and lower lips?

He turned his head to look at his nephew Lin Zhaotong.

But he looked cold and didn't mean to say anything.

The third uncle trembled his hands, and finally sighed, saying: "I didn't expect this, Zhaotong, we really didn't expect it to be like this..."

As he said this, his eyes turned red, and he looked at Fengfeng and said, "You should come back and tell us, we won't be kept in the dark by them for so long, alas."

Fengfeng snorted coldly.

Lin Zhaotong looked at him, and then said to the third uncle: "These things can be explained clearly. It's also because Xizhou City is far away from here, transportation is inconvenient, and information is not available. The uncle is the eldest brother of the third uncle, so such a thing..."

He suddenly smiled bitterly.

He wanted to say, "Who could have thought of such a thing? "

But he has never been a fool.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is now.

It's not that they didn't think about it... If it wasn't written in black and white, they would even continue to defend their uncle's family.

After all, this is about the face of the old Lin.

Lin Zhaotong sighed in his heart, but he could only say that: "It's enough to make this matter clear. Tomorrow, when Shushu and her lover come to pay tribute to their great grandfather and great grandmother, they will leave. To make this matter clear to the third uncle and the villagers, it is also to give Shushu justice. In these years when I was sent down, she took care of Fengfeng for Huiru and me under various persecutions. It was really not easy, so we can't let her bear all kinds of treason and be deliberately slandered by others. "

After speaking, he smiled and said, "Look, I used to be labeled a capitalist-roader, but I was also rehabilitated, right? Wrong things always need to be rehabilitated. "

This joke is not funny at all.

My uncle's face was burning even more.

However, Lin Zhaotong and Li Huiru did not sit for long. They said a few words to the villagers and left.

After they left, my uncle's eldest son in the room said to my uncle with a worried and sad face: "Dad, are uncle and aunt blaming us? Can we get our position as teachers in Dashun Commune back?"

Why was my uncle so excited to see Lin Zhaotong return to his hometown?

One is for face.

The other is for real benefits.

Even if Lin Zhaotong would not seek personal gain for them, as long as he was there, they would be taken care of in the countryside, including the quota for their children to go to high school, the quota for their children to become private teachers in the commune after graduation, and some jobs in the commune or the brigade.Positions, quotas for military service in the commune... Lin Zhaotong didn't need to say anything about these, the commune would naturally take care of them, and the higher-ups would definitely not block them.

That's how his eldest grandson Dashun got his position as a teacher in the commune primary school.

But when the news that Lin Zhaotong was labeled a capitalist-roader spread to the countryside, his grandson's position as a teacher was squeezed out.

In July, when Lin Zhaotong was rehabilitated, the family of the third uncle's grandfather had already contacted the commune primary school to get back the teacher's position... But this teacher's position is not something that can be obtained just like that, but they have already agreed, saying that the brigade below is preparing to expand the class, and Dashun will definitely be considered first at that time...

But now their second uncle has just publicly told the story of how their eldest uncle's family persecuted the second uncle's children in order to obtain the family property after the second uncle was sent down, and he even put his fingerprints on it in black and white... I'm afraid that this matter will spread throughout the commune before the second uncle leaves.

Then can that quota still belong to his grandson?

In the future, I'm afraid that let alone taking care of them, it would be good if their family is not ridiculed and pointed out by others.

After all, thanks to the propaganda of their eldest uncle's family, who in the whole commune didn't know that the adopted daughter of the second uncle's family was heartless and ungrateful? As soon as the second uncle was released, she took the second uncle's family's property and found a man to marry. She also detained the second uncle's only son and didn't even let them see the old Lin family?

Lin Zhaotong's behavior not only made the old Lin family lose face.

... He actually took away his shade that they could enjoy.

But who can be blamed for this?
