The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China

Lin Xiu'er remembered and patted herself and said, "Oh, it was my mistake. I just ran into my elder brother and he asked you to go to the study to find her. I thought you had caused some trouble outside and he wanted to ask you about something." After hearing this, Jin Yan took his wife's hand and said, "Okay, don't worry. You have a good rest first. I'll go to the study to see what elder brother Lin wants to talk to me about, and then come back to tell you." After hearing this, Lin Xiu'er sat down to rest, and Jin Yan went out to find Lin Junshan.

When Jin Yan arrived at the study, there was not only Lin Junshan but also Jin Yan's parents. Jin Yan looked at the situation in the study and felt that something was wrong and said, "Dad and Mom, did something happen to Brother Lin?" While Jin Yan was asking, he was thinking about whether he had done anything wrong during this period of time. If so, he would apologize first.

Just when Jin Yan was about to open his mouth to apologize to him, Lin Junshan said, "Come on, Jin Yan, sit down first and calm down. No matter what you want to do, we will respect it." Lin Junshan's words made Jin Yan even more uneasy. Why did he have to make the decision himself?

Lin Xiuer in the room always felt that things were not simple, and after Jin Yan left, she followed him out and waited at the door of the study, wanting to see what her elder brother wanted to see Jin Yan about. Listening to Lin Junshan's tone, Lin Xiuer felt that Jin Yan was really the one causing trouble, and she felt nervous.

Jin Yan sat down nervously and heard Lin Junshan say, "Well, Xiu'er's mother passed away last night." Jin Yan was stunned after hearing the news. He even knocked over the cup of water at hand and said in disbelief, "This is impossible. She was fine a few days ago. Did something happen?" Lin Junshan's words shocked everyone present.

Lin Junshan found this news very incomprehensible. After all, it was a living person. Now he was gone. How could it not be surprising? Jin Yan came to his senses after being shocked and asked, "How did he die?" Lin Junshan was silent for a while and said, "I heard that the old lady of the Wang family beat him up and locked him in the woodshed without finding anyone to treat him?"

Jin Yan said in disbelief: "No, Wang Ying is her biological daughter, how could she do that?" It was the first time that Lin Junshan knew there was such a heartless mother. He said: "Yes, she did that. I heard it was because something happened to their only child. She thought it was because this married woman had brought bad luck back to her parents' home."

Mrs. Jin was not very interested in Wang Ying and even felt a little disgusted with her because she almost caused Lin Xiuer to have a miscarriage. Now, hearing that she was dead, Mrs. Jin was deeply shocked.

But why did Lin Junshan suddenly bring up this matter? Mrs. Jin was puzzled and asked, "Qingyuan, is there anything else here that you haven't mentioned yet?" Lin Junshan nodded and said, "I heard that the Wang family simply wrapped the person in a tattered mat and threw him in a mass grave, so I want to ask Jin Yan, what do you want to do."

Before Jin Yan could say anything, he heard a thump outside the room. A group of people looked at each other and went out immediately. As soon as the door opened, they saw Lin Xiu'er lying on the ground. Jin Yan was also shocked when he saw Lin Xiu'er lying on the ground and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, Grandpa, it's bad, Xiu'er fainted again." Grandpa Jin came out of his room slowly and said: "Why are you shouting? Put the person on the bed quickly."

Jin Yan finally reacted and put the person on the bed. Grandpa Jin came to the room with his medicine box. He felt the person's pulse and gave him a few injections before saying, "Okay, it's okay for now. The child is still alive. Fortunately, she took medicine a few days ago, otherwise she would not be able to save the child this time. How could she be frightened again?"

Lin Junshan knew this situation would happen, so he only called Jin Yan and not Lin Xiuer. No one expected that Lin Xiuer would follow and eavesdrop. Mrs. Jin told her father about Wang Ying. It was the first time for the old man to hear about such an unreasonable family and their selfishness.

The old man was indeed a famous doctor. Lin Xiu'er woke up in less than a quarter of an hour and started crying as soon as she woke up. Jin Yan hurried forward to comfort her and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. I will find someone to bring your mother-in-law back in a while. The Wang family is not human. I believe they will get retribution in the future." Lin Xiu'er kept crying and never stopped, nor did she refute Jin Yan's words.

Lin Junshan felt uncomfortable seeing his sister like this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Jin Yan, you stay at home and look after Xiu'er. My second uncle and I will handle this matter. We will let the Wang family give a satisfactory answer." Then he went to find his second uncle.

Lin Junshan quickly found his second uncle and told him about Wang Ying. His second uncle did not expect that his beloved would leave the world so soon. He never expected that the Wang family was so cruel, especially the old lady of the Wang family. That person was really heartless. She treated her own daughter like this and was not afraid of retribution.

Afterwards, the two of them took people to the mass grave. When they found Wang Ying, they almost couldn't recognize her. Wang Ying was covered in wounds, his face was ashen, his hands and feet were deformed, and he didn't have a single piece of fitting clothing on. Seeing this scene, Second Uncle Lin was furious. He knew that the Wang family was going too far, but he didn't expect them to be so far-reaching that they didn't even give a person a decent funeral.

Lin Junshan had someone order a set of clothes, and after having his second uncle help him put them on, they left the mass grave together. They returned to the funeral home (don't ask why there were funeral homes at that time, because the author made it up). This was built by the foreign devils. Chinese people didn't have such a place, and usually built it in their own homes.

But Wang Ying had no home now, so she had to go to the funeral home, where someone arranged Wang Ying's appearance and invited relatives and friends to say goodbye to her.

Wang Ying's friends didn't expect that Wang Ying was gone at such a young age, and that this person actually worked in a funeral home. This made everyone look down on Uncle Lin. Some people went directly to Uncle Lin, but Uncle Lin did not give any explanation. After all, Wang Ying was gone now, wasn't he?

Lin Xiuer didn't want her father to be caught up in rumors, so she directly explained that her mother had divorced her father because of the unreasonable demands of her grandmother's family, so she could not work in the Lin family. Since her mother was not a member of the Lin family now, how could she possibly work in the Lin family?

Wang Ying is now considered a member of the Wang family, so this matter should have been held at the Wang family. However, there was no one from the Wang family at the scene, not even a servant. So this matter of Wang Ying is worth pondering.
