My daughter has some space, and the ninety-year-old cannon fodder’s family has won.

Chapter 380 381. Foundation
Mingyan took Mingjian outside to entertain the guests. They were familiar with the relatives and clansmen who came and went. When they saw the three siblings huddled there burning paper money, they finally felt some sense of superiority.

You see, no matter how powerful they are outside, they are still nothing when they return home. With so many relatives and friends, not one of them says hello to them.

"Look at them, they are really good at being lazy," Ming Jian pouted, "Brother, my feet are so tired, I'll go sit over there for a while."

"Are they just being lazy? They do want to do our job, but who do you think they know?" Ming Yan grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave. "My grandparents are all here, and your relatives will be here soon. Why don't you stay here to greet the guests?"

"I've been waiting here for most of the day, but they haven't come yet," Ming Jian was also very annoyed. The relatives from my mother's side were too lazy. Most of the relatives who were supposed to come had already arrived, but there was no movement from them. "My aunt and her family haven't come either."

"Great aunt?" Ming Yan said with an attitude of watching a joke, "Maybe Great aunt didn't even notify her, and no one told her that her in-laws were coming to the funeral today."

"No way?" Ming Jian was a little skeptical, "Shouldn't you know this yourself?"

"My aunt's family is all in the provincial capital. They may have forgotten these traditions long ago." Ming Yan gloated a little. "Just wait and see. Today we will have something interesting to watch."

Except for breaking off the relationship, this kind of etiquette must be followed.

"Don't just stand there, make a quick phone call and urge them. Third Aunt's family can't be that unreliable. Did you fail to notify them?"

Ming Jian, "...Then I'll make another call..."

"Go, go, remember to urge them to hurry up, it's almost time for dinner, just in time for you to come over for dinner."

Ming Jian didn't notice the sarcasm in Ming Yan's tone and actually ran out in a hurry. There was no landline at home, so he had to go to the village office to make a call.

However, they probably wouldn't be able to make fun of Su Yun'an. Just when Ming Jian ran out to make a phone call, Uncle Su drove there with Su Jihe.

They are locals, and even if they were not notified, they knew about this tradition. As early as when Su Yunan called back to tell them about this yesterday, they drove back to the city yesterday.

They walked to the mourning hall, burned incense, and presented gifts. Ming Yunde personally called everyone to the side.

Ming Huanxi quickly took the silver foil paper money from his two brothers and said, "You two go and greet grandpa and uncle. I'll do it."

"No need, we'll stay here, you go..." Ming Huanxi took over before Ming Hao could finish his sentence.

"I hang around him every day, he's already tired of me. You haven't been home for a long time, grandpa must miss you."

Minghao, "I will tell grandpa about this later..."

"Brother, don't be like this, what did I say wrong?

Don’t you miss grandpa? It’s hard for him to keep talking about you all the time…”

Minghao snorted, "You just said that grandpa is impatient with you. I don't know how sad grandpa will be when he hears this..."

"No way, second brother, I'm just saying these words to comfort you, can't you hear that?
If I tell you that I am loved by my family at home, wouldn’t you be jealous and envious?
Alas, I can’t tell whether it’s good or bad.”

"..." As expected, he was welcomed home for only three minutes. After that, the little sister returned to her old ways. She had been calling him "Second Brother" and "Big Brother" sweetly before, but now she started insulting him. "Go quickly," Ming Huanxi raised his chin slightly, "Grandpa and uncle have already come over."

If it wasn't the wrong occasion, the three siblings would have waved and smiled and greeted each other, but they managed to hold back.

……

The funeral was conducted in a proper manner and without any extravagance.

Because the two brothers of the Ming family knew that their eldest brother wanted them to share all the expenses, many things were reduced again and again, and the specifications were also lowered again and again.

Ming Yunde was really worried that the two of them would not hold such a funeral properly, so in front of all their relatives and villagers, he took out 10,000 yuan, saying that this was all the money he would pay, and asked the other two brothers to follow this standard.

The second and third sons of the Ming family were unwilling to do so and complained in front of everyone that they could not afford it and did not have that much wealth.

It was only after the clan members mediated that Ming Yunde took a step back and asked the two brothers to each take out 10,000 yuan, and the rest of the gift money would belong to them.

Although everyone now gives a gift of ten or twenty yuan, with so many relatives and friends in the village, the total amount should be several thousand yuan. After calculating it this way, it seems not bad, so the two brothers agreed.

But that's how it is. Once they get the money, they start to make a fuss when it comes to arranging things. They try to save wherever they can, and they want to save everywhere.

Their behavior made them lose popularity. The funeral was not so decent, and all the blame was put on the two brothers.

Ming Yunde watched all this coldly and didn't think about making amends.

When this man was alive, he had already fulfilled his filial piety. As for these honors after his death, they were all for others to see.

Now that the two brothers have messed up the funeral, they are only ruining their own reputations. He is certainly not going to help them clean up the mess, nor is he going to take all the responsibility on himself.

After Ming Bandeng was buried, Mingxu and Minghao left immediately. The elders in the village had some objections at first, thinking that they should wait until three days later to finish exploring the tomb before leaving.

Ming Yunde had no choice but to call everyone aside and briefly explain his two sons' jobs. Only then did they calm down.

At the same time, he felt particularly unhappy that such promising children and grandchildren were pushed away by Ming Bandeng and others, and they were not close to the people in the clan.

After several years, when these old people pass away, their children and grandchildren will definitely no longer have any contact with Ming Yunde's descendants.

"Yunde, why don't you come back to the village and build a house? I have a piece of idle land next to you, so you can leave some assets for your future generations." Third uncle Mingtang grabbed Ming Yunde's hand and said earnestly.

Ming Jing's face changed as he stood by. The third brother was really cunning. He thought of a way to win over the Yunde family so quickly.

He immediately said, "Whatever your uncle has, I have too. My land is wider and the location is not bad. If you want to, let's go and get the formalities done."

The two brothers automatically ignored the fact that Ming Bandeng and his friends still had some vacant land, but given the relationship among the three brothers, Ming Yunde would not be willing to live with them.

After hearing what they said, Ming Yunde was really moved. Although life was good outside, he always wanted to return to his hometown in the future.
