Chapter 300 Aftermath
When the old man of the Lin family passed away, everyone was sad and cried inside and outside the house. The old man had been sick for a long time, especially the last time he died, so everyone in the village knew that someone had come to help.
At this time, there were people who specialized in helping other people's family handle funerals, which is commonly known as Zhang Luo in the local area. They rushed forward to take charge of the old man's funeral. The people in the Lin family were all unconscious at this moment, and they all rely on Zhang Luo to handle these things.
Since the old man kept a breath waiting for his grandson to come back, everyone in the family understood the old man's condition, so he wiped the old man's body early and put on a shroud. However, the weather was hot, all the clothes outside were buttoned. The old man's coffin had been prepared long ago and was now placed in the shed outside.
On the outside floor, there was a spiritual bed, a mattress was laid on it, and an old pillow was laid. All the items were complete.
Zhang Luo ordered his eldest son, eldest grandson and others to come forward, and other relatives helped him to carry the old man to the spiritual bed. Afterwards, he ordered the Lin family to do what they did.
The Lin family were all wearing mourning clothes, kneeling in front of the spirit, crying constantly.
The old lady cried so hard that she got along very well with the old man. Although she knew that the old man would have this day sooner or later, she still couldn't accept it.
The old man died in the afternoon. According to local customs, it is called Xiao Santian. It is said that the old man died for one day and the funeral will be held early on the third morning. Zhang Luo ordered people to go to relatives' houses everywhere to report the funeral. Zixuan, Zifu and Zixin each took people out to report the funeral.
People in the village came to pay their respects one after another. The Lin family is a good person in the village, so many people pay their respects. People kowtowed and bowed in front of the spirit, while filial sons kowtowed and returned the ceremony.
When the Xu family received the news, they immediately asked Zhixin to bring people to pay their respects. The old man of the Xu family is old and has been in poor health for a while, so he dare not come in such an occasion. In addition, there are people from Yue and Sun families, and Zhide and Qingnian have also come.
The cumbersome funerals do not need to be detailed one by one.
On the third day, the old man put a coffin in the burial, and then the young man who helped the village was carried to a place he had chosen long ago for funeral.
The Lin family came to the village since the old man's generation, so there was no ancestral grave here. When the old man was alive, he said that he would not have to send him back to his hometown when he died, but he would be buried in Nanshan. He had to watch his descendants reproduce and prosper here and prosper. So everyone found a place with good feng shui on Nanshan, bought it, and kept it as the Lin family's cemetery.
The old man was buried, and most of the funeral was completed. When everyone returned to the Lin family, they had already prepared a banquet for them, thanking these people who came to help and mourn.
After sending off the help, only the Lin family members were left. Everyone was sitting in the room and felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Erlin's wife suddenly spoke, "Sister-in-law, since our father is gone, we should say something, right?"
He was stunned. The old man had lived here for six or seven years. In recent years, those who were invited to the doctor and asked about medicine were paid by the big house. Even this funeral was paid by the big house. What else should I say? "My brother and sister, I don't know what you mean. Do we have anything else that has not been explained clearly?"
"Sister-in-law, why are you pretending to be stunned? This time, the old man received a lot of gifts. Why? Is it possible to take it alone? That's not possible. Erlin is also the old man's son. Don't take it alone." Erlin's wife said with a sarcastic look on her face.
He was a little amused and amazed now, "My brother and sister, you can see this little gift of money?"
"Our second house is not like a big house. We have two sons who have become officials. Our family is big and have big business and don't care about anything. We are small and small families, and we want to spend a penny, so of course we have to look at it." Erlin's wife said without caring at all.
Zixuan's aunt next to him quit, "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? Our father has just disappeared, so you're just making trouble. Okay, if you want gifts, should your second wife share the money for this funeral? When my father was alive, he favored you a lot and gave you more of the family. In recent years, he has been supporting the two elders. What else do you want?"
"Oh, listen to our aunt's words. What's wrong with the big house paying for it? As the eldest son, it should be paid. Our family is poor and cannot afford to raise the elderly. We are afraid that we will treat the elderly badly and let the elderly live with the big house? Is it your turn to speak with the married aunt?" Erlin's wife snatched Zixuan's aunt's baby.
Aunt Zixuan's face turned red with anger and turned her head to look at her.
Xingye next to him kept holding his wife and not letting her speak. "Sister, don't listen to your sister-in-law, she's messed up today. Sister-in-law, I don't mean that, don't listen to her chattering here."
Erlin's wife angrily patted Erlin's hand, "You are a coward, why did I marry you? Their big house is so delicious and they have a hot and spicy life. How comfortable are they? They still have such a small amount of money. Is there anyone who does this kind of work?"
"Sister, don't be angry with her, it's not good." He advised Aunt Zixuan, and then said to Erlin's wife, "It's natural for brothers and sisters to support the elderly. My father has been in our big house for all these years and has not suffered any grievances. The food and use are the best. My mother can testify to this. However, this support for the elderly is not only the responsibility of the eldest son, but every son should be filial. In the past few years, you have not done anything that you should support the elderly. You have not sent any support for the elderly. Now you are here to ask for any gifts. You are not sure wherever you go."
He is not a good guy, but today the old man just had a funeral, so He naturally would not have had a fuss with Erlin's wife at this time. He looked at the old lady who was a little bit muffled on the kang, "Today, I won't make trouble with you for the sake of the old lady. You said how to share the gift money, I will give it to you. But remember it for me, and I will not bother my mother in the future."
The old lady seemed to have just come to her senses and looked at the people in front of her, "Don't make a fuss, second brother, take your wife out immediately. Your father was buried, I'm still here, why are you making trouble? Today I'll tell you clearly. I'll still live with the boss's side in the future, and I don't have to worry about everything. When I die one day, my remaining things will be the old man. If you make trouble again, let the boss drive you out, and you won't even be allowed to join the family tree." The old lady now looks down on this second brother's wife at all.
"Mom, how could you be so partial?" Erlin's wife had to continue talking, but was pulled behind by Erlin.
"Mom, we're leaving. Take care of yourself. I'll come to see you again." As he said that, Erlin pulled his wife out.
"Wait, second brother, since your sister-in-law said that you gave you the gift money, I'll let you calculate it and give it to you. My brother can't be rich even if he takes this money, and he can't be poor even if he doesn't have it. There is no need to let you two go back to war." Xingjia called out to his younger brother.
In the past two years, the changes in Xingye have been obvious to all. He is no longer as afraid of his wife as before, and he can control his wife usually. It was just because the old man passed away, he was sad and distracted, which made his wife spit out again. For the sake of his younger brother, Xing family was unwilling to be unhappy because of some money.
"Brother, you're slapping your younger brother in the face. This woman likes to be crazy when she's okay, just ignore her. Now our life is already very good. My elder brother takes care of us in everything, so why don't he lack this little money? Then Brother has taken the gift money. Whoever has something to do in the future will have to pay back the gift?" Xingye said quickly. "Brother, let's leave first, wait for three days, let's go to reunite the grave for my father." After that, he pulled his wife away.
Zifu and Zixin also led their daughter-in-law and followed their parents. Zifu married a great wife, but he was very upright. In the past two years, under the supervision of his wife, Zifu has worked hard at home seriously. Although his mother-in-law has done something from time to time, the couple has lived a pretty good life. Zifu has not spoken out just now, and he also understood that his mother did something wrong.
Zixin also married a wife at the beginning of spring this year. His wife Yu is a very gentle woman. She will not speak at all in this kind of occasion. Zixin has been farming and growing ginseng at home in the past two years, and she has also been excited. The couple is holding up a lot of energy and want to make money to live a good life. Seeing how her mother looked just now, Zixin felt a little ashamed. When she was about to go out, she looked back at her uncle and aunt.
"Uncle, my mother is like that. Don't take it to your heart." Zixin said, and then led his wife away.
When all the people in the second room left, the old lady relaxed, "Boss, you are just such a younger brother, and now the second child is tough and strong. If you have the advantage, you will help me. I am a brother, and I will no longer be here in the future. Your brothers are the closest people. Do you understand?" The old lady is also a stingy and slander. She has the one who is a mother to be able to make up for her son.
"Mom, don't worry, my son won't leave them alone. Now the two boys from the second family are quite willing to do it. I also want to see the second house where life is prosperous. We are all from the Lin family." The Xing family nodded quickly to agree.
