Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wang Family
Lin Yuan leaned comfortably in the carriage, although she was not seasick, she might be down-to-earth, she was still happy.
The carriage was clattering all the way, but Lin Yuan was a little nervous, and her hands were mixed together.
As if he saw it, Lu Shi touched Lin Yuan's head with a smile, "What are you afraid of, your grandfather and grandmother are talking about you all day long." ”
"Yes." Lin Yuan replied absentmindedly.
Lu Shi didn't persuade anymore, and only hugged Brother Fan and teased.
Brother Fan also seemed to know that he was going home, and he was so excited.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Wang Qing was heard outside, "Mrs. Cousin, it's here." ”
The Lu family was the most anxious, so he got out of the carriage with a start, and Lin Yuan followed behind him.
After getting out of the carriage, Lin Yuan saw clearly outside the door of the Wang family, and there were already people waiting.
Before Lin Yuan could take a look, someone stepped forward and hugged her.
"My dear, you're finally back."
Lin Yuan was stunned on the spot, her body was a little stiff and at a loss, she raised her face to look at the visitor. I saw a woman about fifty years old looking at her with a loving face and tears in her eyes.
She subconsciously called out, "Grandma, are you grandma?" ”
Yang Shi was stunned, wrinkled her face a little painfully, and after a while, her face improved, and she replied with a smile, "Yuanyuan, I am your grandmother." ”
Lu Shi wiped his tears on the side, and said without hesitation, "Yuanyuan, my mother treats you as your mother." ”
Lin Yuan's heart was sour, no matter whose daughter has been married for many years, the family will be concerned, especially when the Wang family goes, the Wang family will never see her again, and her grandmother mistook her for the Wang family when she was full of thoughts.
Although Lin Yuan was not the deity, although she objected to kneeling and kowtowing, she still couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow to the Yang family.
"Grandma, I will make amends to you for my mother, she can no longer honor you and grandpa, and I ask you two to forgive."
Lin Yuan's most longing in her previous life was family affection, she didn't know if her family would miss her in her previous life after she committed suicide, but Yang's miss for her daughter moved her, and Yang's grandfather with tears in his eyes behind her made her want to be close.
"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you doing?" The relationship between the Lu family and Lin Yuan is the deepest, and they are busy stepping forward to pull Lin Yuan up.
Yang's tears could no longer be held back, and he cried while holding the handkerchief.
But Wang Li, the old lady of the Wang family, secretly turned his back and turned his face, only a pair of eyes were red.
"Yuanyuan should knock on her head, it's Honggu's unfilial piety! Before the filial piety is fulfilled, he left us two elders! Wang Li said sonorously, but his tone was choked.
"Yuanyuan, get up." Wang Yongzhi, the uncle of Lin Yuan, the old man of the Wang family, opened his mouth, "Daddy, let's go into the house, Yuanyuan must be tired from hurrying." ”
The Wang family is naturally not as rich as the Lin Mansion, but there are only about 20 servants in a house with three entrances and three exits with a back garden.
But Lin Yuan prefers the Wang family, compared to the huge Lin Mansion, a courtyard is like a home, and the Wang family makes her feel like a home.
"Yuanyuan, go to the west wing to live, Yan Niang'er, you go and take Yuanyuan to see, if you have anything to add, go directly to the treasury to get it." The Yang family has returned to normal, and said to the Lu family with a smile.
Lu Shi said coquettishly, "Mother, you are really eccentric, I don't follow this, I will pick up a few good things for Brother Fan and put them back in the room." ”
Yang Shi was amused and laughed, and only urged, "Go quickly, settle down, just eat, don't wait until the meal, you must be hungry all the way." ”
"Hey, I know, my daughter-in-law will take Yuanyuan over." Lu Shi responded happily, turned around and took Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan saluted at the Yang family, "Thank you, grandma." Then he followed Lu Shi towards the west wing.
It wasn't until Lin Yuan's figure was no longer visible that Yang's smile disappeared, and there was a sad look on his face.
"Old man, this child is really pitiful, I don't know how much hardship this character has endured to become like this, that cautious and restrained appearance, I feel distressed when I look at it. Our Honggu was not like this back then, she laughed when she wanted to laugh and cry when she wanted to, how hearty it was, how could she kowtow to make amends? How can you bow down and bow at every turn? ”
Wang Li's face was bitter, "Can a motherless child not endure hardship?" This time, thanks to Yan Niang'er, Yongzhi, you can't treat your daughter-in-law badly. ”
Wang Yongzhi's face was also not good, "My son knows, if it weren't for Yan Niang'er, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had a chance to see Yuanyuan." ”
The three of them were blaming themselves and feeling distressed, but the Lu family was talking to Lin Yuan in a serious tone.
"Yuanyuan, you also saw it, your aunt didn't lie to you, and everyone in the family misses you." She sighed, "Originally, I didn't say it to you, because I was afraid that you would be too careful, but now that you have seen it, I will tell you why our Wang family and the Lin Mansion are not close to each other although they are in-laws, and why didn't our Wang family go to your mother's funeral." ”
"Back then, your mother and your father agreed and were in love, but in the end, your father is too old, do you know that your father is five years younger than your grandfather? How did your grandfather and grandmother accept this? They are naturally opposed, but your mother is strong, so she insists on marrying your father, your grandfather and grandmother have always loved her, so she reluctantly agreed, but it was your mother's practice that broke the heart of the second elder, and naturally she didn't want to go to the Lin Mansion, let alone see her son-in-law who was only a few years younger than herself. ”
Lin Yuan nodded indifferently, from the time she saw her grandparents, who were not very old, she guessed that the marriage between the Wang family and Lin Guangcheng must have been opposed by the Wang family. But she still couldn't understand why the Wang family was reluctant to go to the Lin Mansion after the Wang family died. She quietly watched Lu Shi and waited for the following.
Lu Shi exhaled deeply, "Originally, I received a letter from the Lin Mansion, saying that your mother had passed away, and the second elder was heartbroken, and he couldn't wait to leave for the Lin Mansion immediately. But do you know what else the letter says? ”
"The letter said that your mother Hongxing went out of the wall and was discovered, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well! Tell our Wang family to collect the corpse! Your mother is not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Lin family! ”
Lu's expression was extremely resentful, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who will believe this matter?" If your mother didn't treat your father sincerely, how could she insist on marrying your father despite the opposition of her family? First of all, my beloved daughter died in vain, and then it was such a false accusation, how could your maternal grandfather and grandmother withstand such a blow, both of them fell ill, I was pregnant with Brother Fan that day, and your uncle had to take care of my parents, so I ......"
"Speaking of which, we can't stop your mother." Lu Shi sighed, "Even if you send someone over that day, this misunderstanding will not exist." ”
Lin Yuan's face was full of surprise, "Who wrote this letter?" "Isn't this kind of framing rubbing salt in the wounds of my grandparents who have suffered the loss of their daughter?
"I asked your father, and he was furious, and he said that he didn't say that in the first letter he had written. Later, your father wrote again, saying that the murderer of your mother had been found, and it was your father's Aunt Xiao. But at that time, your maternal grandfather and grandmother were already disheartened, and they didn't want to go to the Lin Mansion. It's just that the two elders of them are more and more worried about you, especially when they heard that your father is going to marry again, and I went to the Lin Mansion to pick you up in the spring. ”
