CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306: BROTHER AND SISTER EMBRACE EACH OTHER AND WEEP

The village chief sighed, "This matter involves Jin Le."

Lin Mu’s heart tightened, "What happened?"

At this moment, Lin Fu came in with a big smile on his face, "I got in touch with my sister. She’s in town right now. She said she’d add me on WeChat and send me the address later."

The village chief, hearing this, said, "In town? She must be at their daughter’s place."

Lin Mu pulled Lin Fu to sit down, "What did Aunt say to you?"

Lin Fu scratched his head, "She was very surprised I reached out to her. Didn’t say much else."

Lin Mu glared at Lin Fu, "The village chief mentioned that something happened at Aunt’s place. He’s telling us now. You should listen too."

Lin Fu frowned, "Village chief, what happened at my sister’s place?"

Village Chief: "It’s neither too big nor too small, but it involves your sister’s son. Last year, he went on a blind date and met a girl. They were planning to get married after the new year.

Who knew she was a marriage scammer? She took the bride price and disappeared, and your sister’s family is currently suing those people."

"Marriage scam?!" Lin Fu was shocked, "People still scam like this nowadays?"

The village chief paused at this, "Why not? It happened before, and it definitely happens now."

"How much did my sister’s family get scammed for?"

"Seems like..." The village chief looked at others, not quite clear on this.

Li Fang said, "I know; they were scammed for five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!!!" Lin Fu was even more shocked, "They didn’t even get married yet, how did they hand over the money?"

The village chief shook his head, "We’re not sure of the details. Anyway, the Jin Family reported it to the police, but the woman seems to have left, and her family doesn’t know where she went."

"And now? What’s the situation now?" Lin Fu pressed further.

Village Chief: "Now the Jin Family is suing the woman’s family, but during the New Year..."

The village chief thought for a moment, "Seems like on the second day of the new year, a group of people came and trashed the Jin Family’s place."

Li Fang continued, "I know about this. At that time, they also beat up Jin Yi pretty badly, and he was taken to the hospital directly by an ambulance."

Someone else chimed in, "Jin Yi stayed in the hospital for a week. Just a few days after he came back, another group came and trashed his house again, this time beating up Jin Le!"

Lin Fu and others listened to this, frowning deeply, "Was it someone from the woman’s side?"

The village chief shook his head, "We don’t know. The police came, but what they concluded is unclear to us."

Upon hearing the village chief’s irresponsible words, Lin Xiaoyan internally criticized, "Something happened to the fellow villagers, and as a village chief, you don’t even offer condolences or find out what’s going on?"

With the matter explained, Lin Xiaoyan took Lin Fu and Lin Mu and drove directly to town to find Aunt.

No matter what the issue is, it’s better to meet the involved party and get clarity.

On the way, Lin Fu couldn’t understand, "They didn’t even bring the bride back, how did they give her the money?

This is too easy to scam!"

Lin Mu:......

Lin Xiaoyan:......

Nan Xi:...

Though all three agreed with Lin Fu’s words, considering it was Lin Fu’s sister, they remained silent.

Lin Xiaoyan said, "Let’s wait until we meet Aunt and ask her exactly what happened."

Half an hour later, they arrived at the location Aunt had sent, which was an apartment building in town.

From a distance, they saw a middle-aged woman looking around at the entrance of the apartment complex.

Lin Fu recognized the woman immediately, "Sister!"

Lin Fu stuck his head out of the car window and shouted loudly.

Lin Shulan heard the voice, looked over, and after a few seconds of disbelief, tears began to flow again as she stumbled over.

"Jiguang!"

"Sister!"

Lin Fu opened the car door and ran towards Aunt Lin. As soon as the two met, tears flowed abundantly.

Seeing the long-lost relative, both were extremely excited and embraced while crying.

"Jiguang... it really is you, it really is you... I thought... I would never see you again..."

"Sister, oh sister... You left so firmly back then, I thought you didn’t want to see us again, so I never contacted you... I’m sorry... I’m sorry, sister..."

After parking the car, Lin Xiaoyan got out with her mother, and Nan Xi followed behind.

Seeing her husband and elder sister-in-law hugging and crying, Lin Mu also felt distressed.

She knew that over the years, the knot in her husband’s heart was his sister, who married far away.

Now that they found the elder sister, her husband could also unravel his emotional burden.

Lin Mu walked over to them, handing tissues to wipe away their tears.

"Elder sister, Old Lin, stop crying."

Lin Xiaoyan also approached, supporting the crying aunt, "Aunt...", suddenly, her action paused.

Aunt Lin looked at the girl supporting her and, seeing a face similar to her brother’s, immediately knew this was her niece.

"What’s your name?" Aunt Lin grasped her niece’s hand tightly and asked.

"My name is Lin Xiaoyan, Aunt, you can call me Yanyan."

"Yanyan, good girl, that’s great!" Aunt Lin looked at her niece lovingly.

Lin Fu also slowly calmed his emotions. Looking at his once vibrant sister, whose hair was now gray, tears welled up again.

"Pa!"

Lin Mu, unable to resist, slapped Lin Fu on the shoulder, "Stop crying! If you cry, Aunt will start crying again!"

Lin Fu had no choice but to hold back his tears, though his heart still ached.

His sister, she was so young and vibrant back then, and now she’s become like this...

Lin Mu didn’t know the thoughts in her husband’s mind. If she did, she would have rolled her eyes; it has been over thirty years, what else could she become!

"Let’s go! We’ll go upstairs, to the house!" Aunt Lin pulled Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Mu, heading towards the apartment complex.

"And who is this?"

Aunt Lin noticed Nan Xi, looking her up and down, realizing she wasn’t a child of the Lin family.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly explained, "This is my friend; she helped us find you."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin promptly expressed her gratitude to Nan Xi and invited her upstairs.

A group of people entered the apartment complex together, following Aunt Lin home.

Just reaching the door, before unlocking it, they heard the sounds of arguing from inside.

Upon hearing the noise inside, Aunt Lin’s expression changed, and she immediately took out the key to open the door.

"What are you arguing about? Stop it, my brother’s family is here!"

Aunt Lin shouted at the father and son in the room.

Lin Fu only entered the room after the arguing had ceased.

Lin Mu and Lin Xiaoyan followed closely behind.

Once inside the house, they found an older man and a young man looking at them with flushed faces, visibly embarrassed.

The older one was Aunt Lin’s husband, Jin Yi.

Seeing Lin Fu, Jin Yi’s expression was somewhat grim; back then, when he first went to the Lin family with his wife, he was beaten by this guy the hardest.

He claimed loudly that he tricked his sister into leaving.

"Haha, Jiguang, you’re here..."

Lin Fu showed no favor towards this man who took his sister away, responding with a cold face.
