The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 330 "Raze to the Ground"

"Damn it! There's nothing of value here!!"

The leader had a sinister look in his eyes. Seeing that he couldn't find anything out, he kicked the table in anger. The table was already wobbly, and it immediately fell apart after being kicked, with wooden planks scattered all over the ground.

"That old codger is a confidant of the Lin family; there's no way he didn't hide something! Search again!" he ordered.

The group searched the small house thoroughly, but still couldn't find what they were looking for.

"There's a box here!!" Someone was digging at the base of the wall when they bumped into something hard. Their greedy eyes lit up, and they shouted excitedly.

The leader strode over, shoved aside the shoulder of the strange underling, and pushed him to the side, then stood at the front and started digging.

That thing really was a box.

It was buried quite deep.

No wonder I didn't notice it the previous times I came.

In a good mood, he laughed and said, "If we make any progress today, you'll get the credit, and you'll all be well rewarded!"

The crowd was thrilled and burst into unrestrained laughter.

The leader learned this morning that the old man from the Lin family hadn't gone to sweep the streets, and assumed he was dead. He was terrified. The location of the Lin family's treasure hadn't been discovered yet, and the only person who might know about it, Lin De, couldn't die. If he died, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his superiors.

They brought people over to check, but no one was inside.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that they hadn't been seen since early this morning.

At that moment, his heart sank.

It was his younger brother who advised him that since things had come to this point, getting angry wouldn't help, and he should think of a way to make amends.

So they went to where Lind lived and searched the place.

I can't believe it actually exists!
The leader stared at the large box buried underground with burning desire.

Such a big box must contain a lot of treasures.

Maybe there are gold bricks among them. If I could get one, I'd never have to worry about anything for the rest of my life!

With the thought of winning without lifting a finger, he reached out and tried to lift the lid of the wooden box.

Who would have thought—

They didn't even see what was in the box before they were thrown into the air by a gust of wind.

"Boom" sound.

The roof flew off.

The earthen house and the surrounding fifty meters were destroyed in an instant, reduced to rubble.

The commotion was astonishing.

This awakens memories for some elderly people.

Their faces turned deathly pale, and their first reaction was to pull their grandson away and hide. Memories of their family members being tortured and killed by the Japanese invaders returned, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

bomb.

It's a bomb.

The bolder ones followed the sound and smelled the blood from afar. As they got closer, they saw severed limbs and remains.

Blood, lots of blood.

This scene is a tremendous shock to those who have never seen it before.

They scattered in all directions, managing to go and report to the police.

When the police came to investigate, after confirming the identity of the deceased, two of the young men felt a sense of satisfaction.

You deserve it.

The arrogant and domineering people who cause trouble everywhere have finally met their match!

God has finally opened his eyes today!
The older police officer noticed his subordinate's inappropriate expression, cleared his throat, and said, "Be careful, we're outside."

Upon hearing this, one of the junior police officers asked in surprise, "Boss, you don't like them either?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get to work!! Our job is to find out the source of the explosion. The people around here are in a panic."

The junior police officer pursed his lips, said no more, and began investigating the case.

Of course, they couldn't find it. The amount of explosives was staggering; the house was completely razed to the ground.

Fortunately, the place was remote and reeked of a foul stench, so no one passed by. Thus, apart from those who ransacked the place, no one else was bombed.

……

Lin Heling and the others were seen off by Lin Shisheng onto the train. Due to the time constraints, Lin Shisheng was unable to buy sleeper tickets, so the three of them had to return in hard seats.

Fortunately, there was no need to reverse.

For Lind, being able to escape those people's sight was a stroke of good fortune.

Once he boarded the train and heard the familiar whistle, he finally felt a real sense of escape.

Looking towards the old man's grave, Lin De vowed in his heart that he would definitely assist the young master and teach the next generation of the Lin family well.

His young master is already a grandfather, I heard his name is... Four Eggs?

Not only do they have grandsons, but they also have granddaughters—three of them!!!

How great.

The Lin family's descendants are thriving; the head of the family would surely be happy to know this.

If it weren't for the heavy burden of the family on the patriarch's shoulders, he probably would have stayed.

Before setting sail, he sent a message through his trusted confidant, saying that he was waiting for them over there.

Has the patriarch been disappointed that they haven't arrived all these years?

I doubt it. Someone like him should be looking for a way to come back!
Lin De was conflicted; he wanted to see his young master, but he also didn't want him to come back. Given the current situation, his return wouldn't bring any good.
The train swayed and rattled.

We arrived at our destination a week later.

Uncle De got off the train with Lin Heling and Song Xiwei. At first glance, he realized that this place was no match for Haicheng.

Thinking that the young master had lived here for many years, his heart was filled with bitterness and heartache.

His young master, he's lived a life of luxury since childhood, when has he ever suffered?

Lin Heling noticed Uncle De's gaze, guessed what he was thinking, and comforted him, "In such a chaotic environment, it's good that you survived."

He accepted the elders' care and concern well, which warmed his heart. No matter how old he was, in Uncle De's eyes, he was still that little boy.

"Xiwei saved my life and found a doctor for me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have made it to the day I regained my memories."

Uncle De exclaimed, "You are blessed with good fortune and long life. You and the young mistress are a match made in heaven."

Along the way, he learned a lot about the past of the young master and his wife, and he greatly admired Song Xiwei, such an extraordinary woman.

She possessed great strength and courage, proving herself to be just as capable as any man. Most importantly, she saved her young master.

The merits are immeasurable.

That was enough to make him look at him in a new light.

He thought that if the old man were still alive, he would also like this granddaughter-in-law.

Needless to say, the head of the family must be calm, wise, have a broad perspective, be tactful and adaptable... As long as the youngest son is happy, let alone marrying a good girl, even if he marries a beggar's daughter, the head of the family probably wouldn't object.

“Isn’t it said that Zhaozhao works at the supply and marketing cooperative? I thought I’d go and see her on my way,” Uncle De said.

Lin Heling and Song Xiwei also missed their daughter and immediately responded.

After the three finished their meal, they headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

At the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Zhao was lost in thought. The skylight curtains had already been taken down, and he could see passersby while sitting at the counter.

Suddenly, two familiar faces appeared before her. The bright-eyed girl in front of the counter brightened up. She rubbed her eyes, looked closely, and saw that the two people were still there. She stood up abruptly, walked out of the counter, and jogged towards the two outstanding people.

"Dad! Mom!!!"

Lin Zhao hugged Song Xiwei's arm, nuzzled her shoulder a few times, and complained, "I finally remembered you have a poor daughter. I knew you parents would be so happy you'd forget everything. I miss you all. You don't miss me at all. I'm so pitiful..."

The incessant grumbling began in her ears, and Lin Heling's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes filled with doting tenderness. Song Xiwei's eyes remained fixed on her daughter's face; seeing her rosy complexion, she knew she was doing well, and she felt relieved. She muttered, "Dududu, how can you talk so much! My ears are practically echoing!"

Lin Zhao looked at Lin Heling with a wronged expression, "Father, my mother dislikes your daughter, can you do something about it?"

Lin Heling feigned helplessness, "I can't control it."

Lin Zhao: "..." Forgot that her father listens to her mother!

She felt a gaze fall on her and looked back in the direction of the gaze.

He met a pair of eyes filled with complex emotions: nostalgia, sorrow, and sighs.

"Father?" A thought popped into Lin Zhao's mind. "Is this the person you picked up from Haicheng? How should I address him?"

Lin Heling said, "This is an elder who watched me grow up. You should call him Grandpa De."

Lin Zhao obediently called out, "Grandpa De."

"Oh!" Uncle De was so happy he almost cried. He wanted to take the gift, but then he realized that what he was carrying was not presentable, so he said, "It's not convenient today. I'll give you the gift next time we meet."

Miss Zhao Zhao looks like her aunt, and also like the late old lady. She looks so kind and gentle. She has a good personality, is very generous, and has bright eyes. She is a good girl.

Lin Zhao waved her hand and said considerately, "It's alright if there's no gift. As long as my father gets what he wants, that's all that matters."

Lin Heling felt a warm glow in his heart and gently patted the top of her head with his large, warm hand. "We'll head back now. If you're resting, take Yu Bao and the others home."

"Okay!" Lin Zhao readily agreed, then pouted and said, "I wasn't used to not seeing my parents when I went home the last few times, so I left without staying long."

Song Xiwei's eyes softened, and she coaxed with a smile, "We're back now. You're all married, why are you still acting like a child? I think Zhengzheng is more mature than you."

Lin Zhao pouted, "Children with parents are treasures, I don't want to be composed."

Song Xiwei thought to herself, "That makes sense. Children who don't have parents to love them are forced to be mature. It's good that Zhaozhao is like this."

"After sitting in the car for several days, my whole body aches, so we'll head back now. When you have time, go home and have your dad cook your favorite dishes."

Lin Heling also said, "I won't delay your work, go ahead."

Lin Zhao: "What's the delay? I'm so bored!"

Knowing that her parents were tired from the car ride, she waved to them, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa De, you should go back and rest."

He turned to go back to the supply and marketing cooperative, but then remembered Chu Ning at home, so he hurriedly came back and told his parents about this person's identity.

Lin Heling disliked having outsiders in the house, but after learning that the Chu family had been kind to Xiao Er, she became less averse to it.

"Okay, we get it."

Then they headed towards Dongfeng Brigade. The three of them were lucky enough to run into an oxcart. They rode in the oxcart for a while, and then walked a bit further before finally reaching the village entrance.

The Dongfeng Brigade members were all surprised to see the Lin couple, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Zhao Zhao's mother, you two are back."

"You guys look a little chubby. Are you eating well in the army?"

The villagers didn't know they had gone to Haicheng; they assumed they were visiting relatives.

"Why is he with that strange old man? Who is he?"

The whole way was filled with people with great curiosity.

Song Xiwei answered a few questions selectively before finally arriving home.

Chen Yu was happy to see her parents-in-law return.

“Mom and Dad are back,” she said. “The bedding has just been aired out, and the sheets are brand new.”

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll do it."

Upon seeing the stranger, he added, "The empty room has also been cleaned up, and the sheets are clean too; you can sleep in it right away."

Song Xiwei nodded slightly, "...Make two simple home-style dishes to tide us over. Also, boil some water so we can all wash up."

I'm getting old, and after several days of this, I'm exhausted.

"Okay," Chen Yu replied and quickly got to work.

Chu Ning, who was looking after the child, felt very uncomfortable, but still politely greeted the person.

Song Xiwei said, "We understand your situation. Don't worry, just stay at home and go back when things are resolved."

What did this girl do wrong? She was just unlucky to have been targeted by a scumbag.

Chu Ningxin put her heart back down, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Auntie."

Her lips were pale, and her face looked sickly. Song Xiwei could tell at a glance that she was not in good health.

Strangely, this sickly aura did not detract from her beauty; in fact, it made people feel sorry for her.

Song Xiwei didn't pay any attention and went to talk to her grandchildren.

During her time away from home, she was most worried about Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng.

The eldest son and his siblings have their own mothers, and the eldest son's wife takes care of them. The two sisters' father is never home, and their mother fell off a cliff and barely survived. They are bullied, but no one knows.

Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng nestled in their grandmother's arms, feeling safe and secure. They whispered about their lives and studies, saying that everything was good and there was nothing that was not going well.

"Has anyone bullied you two at school? If so, tell me and I'll go find them!" Song Xiwei said.

"No, no," Xuanxuan said first.

Song Xi stared at her for a few seconds and said, "I don't believe you."

He then looked at Zhengzheng and said, "Zhengzheng, you speak."

Xuanxuan was completely confused.

“Nobody bullies us. We always have Big Egg Brother and Second Egg Brother with us. Our classmates know we have powerful older brothers, so they don’t dare to mess with us,” Zhengzheng said.

Previously, a man had pulled her braid. Her brother stopped him, and after a "friendly" conversation, the man never bothered her again and would stay far away from her whenever he saw her.

That's all.

The matter was resolved, but the young girl hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Song Xiwei nodded in satisfaction, "The two eggs do look a bit like older brothers."

"It's good that you weren't bullied. If anyone bullies you two, you have to tell your family, okay?"

"Mmm-hmm." The two sisters nodded in unison.

……

Sunday.

Lin Zhao took her four children back to her parents' home.

When she arrived, Da Dan and Er Dan were practicing martial arts on the spot, while her newly acquainted Grandpa De was sunbathing.

"???" The customer asked, puzzled. "What's going on?"

As soon as Lin Zhao asked the question, Yu Bao and Heng Bao ran up to the two eggs, their dark, bright eyes shining like lamps.

They spoke in turn, one after another:
"Big Egg Bro, are you practicing kung fu?"

"The kung fu you practice is different from ours!"

"Take Da Dan and Er Dan to help them get stronger." Uncle De answered Lin Zhao's question first, then stood up and looked at Yu Bao and Heng Bao with a smile, "You guys practice kung fu too? What kind of kung fu do you practice?"

Hengbao proudly raised his head and shouted in a clear voice, "Military boxing!"

Uncle De said in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child, "Your boxing isn't as good as mine. Do you want to learn from me?"

Yu Bao puffed out his cheeks, "My dad taught us military boxing! It's amazing!! Don't try to fool a kid!!"

At this moment, Da Dan, who hadn't stopped practicing, couldn't help but say, "Yu Bao, Heng Bao, the ones taught by Grandpa De... seem to be even more amazing."

The young boy's eyes were filled with admiration, and his words carried a hint of respect.

These past few days, the two eggs have been learning from Uncle De, not only about martial arts, but also about a lot of knowledge they had never encountered before. In just a few days, they have benefited greatly.

Yu Bao and Heng Bao looked at each other, speechless.
