Yes!
After that, Yan Kongyue didn't want to know what happened next.
In the evening, the Lin Family Patriarch was practicing calligraphy in his study. The door was slightly ajar when Lin Lie knocked and pushed it open.
"Grandpa."
"Ah, come here and take a look. I've written three pieces, and I'm quite satisfied with them."
"Indeed, the writing flows well."
"Oh? Is there some good news?"
"Grandpa, I got the land deed! Take a look!"
"I must see this." The old man was a bit excited; he had regained not just a piece of land but the Lin Family Legacy.
"Here, please have a look!" Lin Lie handed the folder to his grandfather with both hands.
"Great! This is wonderful!" The old man trembled as he touched the red seal on the deed.
"Grandpa, you should keep this deed in your safe!"
"Go open it and take out that bag inside!"
"Okay!" Lin Lie understood; the old man wanted the original land deed. He took out a red bag from the safe and pulled out the deed, causing a black-and-white old photo to fall to the floor.
"Grandpa, what is this?" Lin Lie bent down to pick up the photo. It depicted a girl of about ten years old, wearing something resembling a qipao and holding an oiled paper umbrella. The photo was so old that the girl's face had become indistinct.
"What is this? How did this photo end up here?"
"Grandpa, who is in the photo?"
The old man took the photo, sighed, and gently traced his finger over the child's image, his thoughts drifting back to Duo Duo.
"This is my sister!"
"Your sister?" Lin Lie was somewhat surprised; having lived for over thirty years, he had never heard anyone in the family mention that his grandfather had a sister.
"Yes!"
"But I’ve never heard about you having a sister."
She fell ill at a young age. The old man seemed to be struggling to remember, but too much time had passed, and he could hardly recall what his sister looked like anymore.
Was she not cured?
The old man shook his head. Back then, medical care was not as advanced as it is now. No matter how wealthy the Lin Family was, they could only do their best to sustain her life. But then, one day, she just disappeared.
Disappeared?
Yes, she had always been in the hospital. I found her the best doctor at that time, but her illness never improved. One day, after school, I went to visit her, but she was not in her room. I asked all the doctors and nurses, and they all said she had been in her room the whole time; no one had taken her out.
Taken out?
Yes, she was too weak to leave the bed by herself.
Could it have been someone from the family who took her out?
No, on the day I went to the hospital, my grandmother was also ill. My mother had to stay home to take care of her and couldn’t leave. She was worried about my sister, afraid that she would cry alone in the hospital, and had been waiting for me to come home from school so we could go see her together. With that said, the old man sighed again.
