Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Father's begging

While the three women were talking in low voices, Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan came back together.

"Mother-in-law, first aunt, fifth aunt..." Xiang Shengnan greeted the three of them next to Shun'er, and then stood behind Xiaoduo.

Sun and the others responded one after another.

Xiaoduo came forward and said to Sun and the others: "Shengnan was busy discussing the funeral, uncle was in a state of distress, and father-in-law was not in good health, so it was Shengnan who was carrying it. Seeing your mother coming over, Shengnan Come back and say hello to you sometime."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun and the others looked at Xiang Shengnan more kindly.

Xiaoduo said to Xiang Shengnan again: "Since you have already said hello, then go back to the old house quickly, lest they will be anxious if they can't find you later. I will stay at home for a while and feed Jiaojiao some food later. of."

Xiang Shengnan nodded, spoke to Mrs. Sun and the others again, turned around and hurried away.

Of course, before leaving, he came to the cradle, took a look at Jiaojiao, and bent down to gently touch Jiaojiao's little cheek.

When he left, Bao Suyun glanced at Jiaojiao, smiled and said, "Young people nowadays love children more than we did back then."

Da Sun said: "We also felt pain at that moment, but the men were too embarrassed to kiss me and me with their children because of face, and they kept it in their hearts."

Sun said: "That's true. I'm afraid Sheng Nan hurried back, on the one hand to greet us, to fulfill his etiquette, and most importantly, to miss Jiaojiao."

The big guy's words are heard in Xiaoduo's ears, which is very comfortable.

It's a pity that now that something like that happened to my mother-in-law, she's not in the mood to laugh, nor is she in the mood to talk about Xiang Shengnan's love for his daughter.

"Mom, Jiaojiao seems to have woken up. I'll feed her. I have to go there later."

Xiaoduo said, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Sun wrapped Jiaojiao in a small blanket and stuffed it into Xiaoduo's arms.

The child was struggling to eat, Xiaoduo looked at the child tenderly, with a happy arc on the corners of her lips.

Mrs. Sun sat beside her and accompanied her quietly. After a long time, Mrs. Sun couldn't help asking Xiaoduo: "Duoer, what's the matter with your mother-in-law? Why did she die so easily?"

Xiaoduo's face paled slightly, her lips pursed lightly.

She raised her eyes to look at Dasun, and sighed softly: "Hey, it doesn't feel good to say it, if I knew that my mother-in-law is such a temperament that is easy to get into horns, I shouldn't have said that to her in the first place, let alone Force her to go to her mother's house to get her things back..."

Da Sun frowned: "Duo'er, why are your words exactly the same as what your mother said? That's not the way to say it. According to what you say, those who have done wrong and bad things don't know how to repent. Threat and kidnap others with your own life, then there will be no right and wrong in this world."

"Auntie, I understand the truth, but I can't say these things, because I see that Uncle and Shengnan... seem to be very upset and blame themselves..." Xiaoduo said in a low voice.

Da Sun sighed.

Bao Suyun said: "The dead are the most important. It is natural for them to feel sad when something like this happens. At this juncture, they will definitely not blame your mother-in-law. They must blame themselves. We don't have to go Go with your heart."

"Especially for you Xiaoduo, just do your duty as a daughter-in-law. You should wear sackcloth and filial piety. You are not wrong. Perhaps, this is God's will. I can only blame your mother-in-law for only having such a short lifespan. "

Da Sun nodded again and again: "That's right, Suyun can still speak, I actually thought so too, but I can't say it."

Mrs. Sun also took up the words and said: "Listen to your fifth aunt, the dead are the most important. At this moment, there is no need to investigate who is right and who is wrong. Take care of the funeral and send her to the ground for peace!"

Sheng Nanniang's funeral was arranged for three days and three nights.

On the morning when the coffin was about to be carried up the mountain, Uncle Katsunan couldn't help but get uproarious, and wanted to ask the old Xiang's family for an explanation. statement.

If you can't give an explanation, give a sum of money to comfort your natal family.

As a result, the cattle dealer slapped the coffin board and became furious.

"Are you still ashamed to ask us for money? Don't you know who killed her?"

The cattle dealer pointed at Katsunan's two uncles and yelled hoarsely.

"Didn't you get a lot of benefits from her during this period of time? Do you want us to take it out one by one? If it weren't for your jealous words in front of her, to raise her face Gao, she won't be in a dead end, it's good that I didn't ask you for an explanation!"

When the cattle dealer yelled, he almost burned the chickens, ducks and fabrics.

Katsuo's two uncles and aunts looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

Father Xiang was staggered over with the support of two people, and when he saw this, he lay on the coffin and howled: "Mother, mother-in-law, you are so cruel, leave me alone, how do you let me live..."

The coffin board was slammed, and Xiang's father cried like he was dying, as if he wanted to follow Mrs. Sheng.

Shengnan yelled at his two uncles with red eyes and a hoarse voice: "Can you not withdraw money at this time? Can you let my mother go to the ground? My mother is your older sister. You are sad when she dies. Fight for her, but my mother is my father's mother-in-law, my mother, we are more sad and sad than you!"

The two uncles shyly retreated into the crowd, and the two aunts cried at the top of their voices, saying 'good sister' and 'brother sister'.

The coffin bearer got up again, and amidst the majestic and desolate sound of the conch playing, a group of people helped the spirit up the mountain.

Sheng Nanniang was finally buried smoothly.

The relatives and friends who came to pay tribute to the funeral also dispersed one after another, but Mrs. Sun and Yang Huazhong still stayed.

Sun stays to help Xiaoduo take care of Jiaojiao, so that Xiaoduo can free up her hands to clean up the old house with Xiang Shengnan.

Yang Huazhong stayed to help Xiang Shengnan deal with the following matters.

During the funeral, I borrowed a lot of things from the villagers, and also dealt with Taoist priests and coffin shops, and it was time to settle the matter.

Xiang's father has been ill all the time, and he always eats in his hands, and the cattle dealer's mental state is not very good, so these things are mainly left by Yang Huazhong to help.

After lunch, the cattle dealer and Yang Huazhong planned to go back to the big house to settle the accounts, and Father Xiang followed out on crutches.

"Brother, I have one thing to ask you." Father Xiang said pitifully.

The cattle dealer looked at his younger brother in front of him. His temples were gray, he was leaning on a cane, his back was bent, his voice was hoarse, he was so haggard and old that he didn't look like his younger brother, but rather his elder brother or an elder.

"What's the matter? Just say what you want." The cattle dealer asked in a slow voice for the first time.
