The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 866 The Arrogant Mistress

Wang Gang took his sons Fang Yifan and Tong Wenjie to the mourning hall.

In the car, Tong Wenjie had been complaining about her brother-in-law, saying how ungrateful and unkind he was.

Sister Tong Wenjie was originally from the capital. Her husband, whom she met in college, later married in Fujian.

At the beginning, the relationship between the couple was very good, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being like glue.

However, with the arrival of their child, Lin Lei'er, the relationship between the couple gradually changed, and later even reached the point of divorce.

Lin Lei'er behaved differently since he was born, and he belongs to that kind of genius child with high IQ.

Raising a genius is never an easy task. Lin Lei'er has a superhuman IQ since she was a child, but has extremely low emotional intelligence, which makes outsiders feel like a moron.

Lin Lei'er's father disliked his son since he was a child and even thought about having a second child. However, Tong Wenjie's sister disagreed and there was a gap between the couple.

Later, as Lin Lei'er grew up, her problems with high IQ and low EQ became more and more obvious. Although her academic performance was very good, she couldn't lack care in life.

Tong Wenjie's sister gave all her love to Lin Lei'er, so much so that she neglected her husband.

Lin Lei'er's father had already found a woman outside and proposed divorce to his wife, but sister Tong Wenjie did not agree and has been delaying the divorce until now.

A year ago, Tong Wenjie's sister was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and could no longer control her husband. He simply moved out to rent a house with his mistress.

Sister Tong Wenjie treated her illness and took care of her son at the same time, but she couldn't bear it in the end.

When Lin Lei'er's father saw his wife collapse, he called his sister-in-law Tong Wenjie and stated that he was not responsible for his wife's death.

"My sister is blind. She falls in love with this kind of man and spends her whole life in it." Tong Wenjie said angrily:
"My sister hasn't been buried yet, and that bitch couldn't wait to take the mistress to get the certificate, what the hell!"

Tong Wenjie was so angry and felt unworthy of her sister that she started scolding her in front of her son Fang Yifan.

"Okay, let's wait until the funeral is over to discuss anything else." Wang Gang reminded Tong Wenjie: "How is Lei'er now?"

Tong Wenjie sighed: "Since my sister left, Lei'er has not spoken or cried. She seems to be stupid."

Wang Gang frowned and said: "When a loved one dies, people can't react for a while. This is what happens. It will get better after a while!"

Tong Wenjie lamented: "That bitch refuses to let us take Lei'er back to the capital, and that mistress still wants to ask for money from us?"

Wang Gang said in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case! Your brother-in-law has married another woman. Should he be happy that we took Lei'er away to solve a big problem for him?"

Tong Wenjie explained: "Lei'er's academic performance is very good and he receives a school scholarship every year. The county also sent people to contact him and promised him a sum of money as long as he can become the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination."

Wang Gang suddenly said: "Do they think we are greedy for the scholarship, so they won't let us take Lei'er away?"

"That's right." Tong Wenjie said disdainfully: "You didn't see the face of that mistress, as if we were robbing her of money, and she didn't even think about how much it costs to train a top scorer in the college entrance examination!

Besides, how could it be possible to give Lei'er the scholarship she received! "

It is not that easy to get the top score in the college entrance examination. The higher the score, the harder it becomes. A difference of one point can lead to a ranking difference of dozens or even hundreds of places.

If you want to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, talent, hard work, and money are all indispensable.

Sister Tong Wenjie's mourning hall was not located at home, but in a funeral home. There were very few people who came to express their condolences.

My sister originally married outside and had few friends. Later, in order to take care of her son, her social circle became even narrower.

Tong Wenjie specially rented the largest mourning hall in order to make her sister's funeral more dignified.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting in the mourning hall with dull eyes and no reaction to anything.

Tong Wenjie walked to the older boy and asked with concern: "Lei'er, have you eaten? Do you want to go get something to eat with your aunt?"

The big boy Lin Lei'er shook his head numbly and said, "Auntie, I'm not hungry. I want to spend some time with my mother."

Lin Lei'er's tone was very calm, with no trace of sadness or joy, as if she was just stating an insignificant matter.

Fang Yifan touched Wang Gang's hand and asked doubtfully: "Dad, is this my cousin? Why is he not sad at all when his aunt is dead?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Gang scolded: "People may not cry when they are sad. Real sadness is buried deep in the heart."

Wang Gang could feel Lin Lei'er's sadness, but he was not very good at showing it. He accumulated all the sadness deep in his heart, and would explode once a breaking point appeared.

Several people waited in the mourning hall for a while, and a farm man in his 40s walked in at the door, followed by a farm woman of about the same age.

Through Fangyuan's memory, Wang Gang recognized that the peasant man was Tong Wenjie's brother-in-law, and the woman next to him should be the mistress.Tong Wenjie's brother-in-law was born in a mountain village in Fujian. He later entered the Capital Agricultural College and returned to his hometown to start a business after graduation.

I heard that he has done well in the past few years. He has contracted large tracts of forest and has made a little fortune.

"Wenjie, your sister's cemetery has been purchased. She can be cremated here and buried there." The brother-in-law walked up to Tong Wenjie without even looking at his son Lin Lei'er.

"Are you and the mistress just waiting for my sister to be buried so that you can have a wedding banquet!" Tong Wenjie snorted coldly.

The brother-in-law was embarrassed for a while, but the mistress was very aggressive.

"Who are you talking about as a mistress?" the woman said angrily: "Your sister and Lao Lin have lost their relationship a long time ago. Lao Lin has proposed divorce several times, but she has refused to agree and has been dragging her feet to prevent us from getting the divorce certificate."

Tong Wenjie stood up angrily, pointed at the mistress and scolded: "It's reasonable for you to seduce someone else's husband. My sister's body is not cold yet, and you want to straighten it up. I tell you, as long as I'm here, you can't even think about it."

The mistress said proudly: "Why do you stop her? You are just Lao Lin's sister-in-law. If your sister dies, you will have nothing to do with her. Regardless of whether there is a divorce or not, Lao Lin is single now. He can marry whoever he wants."

Tong Wenjie was trembling all over after being choked by the mistress. She wanted to make trouble again, but was stopped by Wang Gang.

"This is a mourning hall. The deceased is the most important, so please show some respect." Wang Gang said, protecting his wife.

Lao Lin also pulled Xiao San's sleeves and said, "Xiufen, stop making trouble."

"Do I want to make trouble? She talks about the mistress, why don't you just ignore her?" the mistress yelled.

Wang Gang frowned. He really didn't want to argue with such a shrew, so he pointed out with a hidden finger and gently stroked the mistress's body without touching her.

The next moment, the mistress felt a pain in her stomach.

"Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?" Xiao San clutched her stomach and went straight to the toilet, and the whole world became quiet.

"Brother-in-law, why do you like this kind of woman?" Wang Gang asked puzzledly.

This mistress, in terms of appearance, knowledge, and conversational skills, is far different from sister Tong Wenjie.

If Lao Lin wants to find a woman, he should at least find a better one, right?
"Xiufen hasn't read any books and is just a village woman. Don't be surprised." Lao Lin said sheepishly.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Tong Wenjie and I just want our sister's funeral to go smoothly."

"I know. I'll let Xiufen go back later." Lao Lin sighed.

Wang Gang was a bit heavy-handed just now. The mistress will probably stay in the toilet today.

When she collapsed, she didn't have the strength to hold a funeral.

Sister Tong Wenjie's funeral was very grand and cost a lot of money, but there were only a few people who came.

When the body was sent in for cremation, Lin Lei'er finally couldn't hold it back and broke down crying.

"Mom, don't leave me."

Lin Lei'er wanted to rush into the cremation room, but was stopped by Wang Gang and Fang Yifan.

When he held his mother's urn, he looked like he was dead.

After the funeral, according to the rules, there must be a detoxification meal, and all those who see off must participate.

As a result, Lao Lin brought his mistress Xiufen over again and prepared to have a big meal, and Tong Wenjie almost couldn't hold it back.

After finishing the meal and sending away the guests, Tong Wenjie asked Lao Lin about taking Lin Lei'er back to the capital.

Lao Lin had no objection to this, but mistress Xiufen disagreed.

"You can't take Lin Lei'er away. The county promised to give him a scholarship as long as he takes the college entrance examination locally. If you take him away, the scholarship will be gone." Xiufen shouted.

"Lei'er's registered permanent residence is in the capital, and the educational resources there are better." Wang Gang grabbed Tong Wenjie and negotiated with Lao Lin in person.

Lao Lin shrank his neck and glanced at Xiufen, seemingly undecided.

"You can take Lin Lei'er away if you want, and give us the scholarship!" Xiufen said confidently.

"The scholarship belongs to Lei'er, why should I give it to you?" Tong Wenjie couldn't help but scolded: "I think you are crazy about money!"

Seeing that the two women were about to quarrel again, Wang Gang slapped the table with his hand. After a loud noise, the entire round table fell into pieces, frightening everyone.
