After the others left, it was already a good outcome for him that his fourth son could come over to visit him from time to time.
“Yes.” Lin Dachui replied.
However, Fourth Uncle Lin turned around and glanced at him.
Fourth Uncle Lin was a little surprised. When did his father become so easygoing?
Before he could think further, he heard movement outside.
It was the person he had invited in the afternoon.
Fourth Uncle Lin hurriedly welcomed him.
There were a total of three people, all of whom were Fourth Uncle Lin’s colleagues in the workshop.
One of them was like him, only working part-time.
The other two were formal workers of the workshop.
These three people, without exception, were all villagers who were doing well in Daishi Village and were praised and envied by their neighbors.
Lin Dachui was very surprised to see his fourth son chatting with these people happily and looking very familiar.
Since when did this son whom he had looked down on the most have a relationship with these people?
After replying to the three of them, Lin Dachui quickly collected his thoughts and went to the kitchen to prepare some sugar water for them.
He hurriedly prepared it and served them.
The three of them thanked him and glanced at Fourth Uncle Lin before drinking the water.
When they realized that the water was sweet, they thanked Lin Dachui.
Lin Dachui only told them to make themselves at home, saying that he should thank them for their willingness to help.
After drinking some water and chatting for a while, everyone began to pack up.
Then, the four of them lifted Old Madam Lin’s coffin together.
Then, Lin Dachui led the way with the tools, and the four of them carried the coffin.
Halfway up the mountain, Lin Dachui led them to a relatively flat area.
They put down the coffin and dug a grave on the spot.
After digging two graves, They buried the coffin in one of the graves.
“Get someone to carve two tombstones and erect them.” Fourth Uncle Lin finished his work and said to Lin Dachui, who was standing stiffly at the side.
“Yes.” Lin Dachui wiped his tears and replied.
Seeing Lin Dachui like this, Fourth Uncle Lin felt some sympathy in his heart.
“You just stay here. We’ll go and bring Yuanshan over.”
“Go ahead.” Lin Dachui sobbed.
Only then did Fourth Uncle Lin leave with the helpers.
After everyone had left, Lin Dachui found a place to sit down.
Then, he looked in the direction of Old Madam Lin’s grave and was lost in thought.
After an unknown period of time, he finally heard the sound of the “bugle” again.
He turned his head and saw his fourth son carrying another coffin.
Lin Dachui stood up.
He wanted to help, but was refused.
They asked him to watch from the side.
After another round of operation, a new grave was built.
Fourth Uncle Lin thanked everyone and smiled, saying that he would invite them over for dinner another day.
Then, everyone went down the mountain.
After returning to the Lin family’s house, Fourth Uncle Lin sent the three of them out.
Then, he returned to the house.
“Son…” Lin Dachui quickly came up to him.
He had only just thought of it. The help must not be free.
He didn’t know if he had paid those people. However, he must have treated them to a meal.
Fourth Uncle Lin reached out to support Lin Dachui.
“Slow down.” He said.
Then, he looked around the room.
“The matter is almost done. You can clean the room up yourself.”
“For the next two days, I’ll come over to bring you food.” Fourth Uncle Lin frowned.
Lin Dachui felt his heart warm up.
“Son, sob sob…” He could not help but cry.
His cry made Fourth Uncle Lin frown even more.
“That’s it. I’m going back.” He said ruthlessly.
Fourth Uncle Lin let go of Lin Dachui.
Then, he turned around and left.
Lin Dachui sat on the ground and cried like a child.
The next afternoon, as Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife had expected, First Uncle Lin came to Fourth Uncle Lin’s house.
He also suggested returning the house and taking the money back.
Fourth Uncle Lin refused and quarreled with him.
Lin Dazhuang and Lin Erzhuang almost attacked Fourth Uncle Lin.
In the evening, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife returned. When she heard the news, her expression darkened.
“When he left, he said that no one would take over the house we’re staying in now. If we won’t let them return the house, they’ll demolish our new house.” Fourth Uncle Lin said angrily..
