After that, Li Yimin never saw Lin Baoshan again.
At first, those living near the woodshed could still hear Lin Baoshan's shouts and curses, but later, the sounds became less frequent.
Lin Baoshan starved to death.
When Mrs. Lin was carried back, the whip wounds on her body got infected due to lack of timely cleaning and disinfection, and she developed a high fever that very night.
Mrs. Lin lived with Uncle Lin, and Uncle Lin still had feelings for her. Despite being dead tired from working, Uncle Lin would stay up all night to care for Mrs. Lin.
When he earned two wild vegetable cakes, he would share one with Mrs. Lin.
However, Mrs. Lin's fever wouldn't subside, and her body was gradually consumed by the festering whip wounds. Uncle Lin begged the steward to send Mrs. Lin to the hospital, but the steward completely ignored him.
