Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 303 Compassion
When the matter of the mother-in-law came out, the family immediately burst into tears, and then they had to stop the coffin to pay homage and mourn for the funeral.

If it is an ordinary family and the funeral is simple, relatives and friends will help to handle it, but the mother-in-law is a fifth-rank imperial wife, and she was born in a prosperous life, so her funeral must be decent. Ning Wan decided to invite a deacon to explain everything stand up.

Watching Yiling stop the bed, and then all the gates were opened one after another. The red painted doors and red lanterns were covered with white paper, and the lobby turned into a snow-white mourning hall. Ning Wan only let the steward at home obey the deacon's orders But I put all my thoughts on Tie Shi and Eunuch, I'm afraid they will fight like rumors in my dream.She once heard that, right in front of her mother-in-law's coffin, their father and son moved their hands.

Although according to Ning Wan's thinking, it is right for the father-in-law to be beaten, but anyway, they are the biological father and son. It is really sad that the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law fought before their bones were cold, and Tie Shi also has a particularly bad reputation for fighting with the father-in-law. Well, she naturally didn't want him to bear such a bad reputation.

She had already pretended to be restrained, and Ning Wan saw her father-in-law and Tie Shi lined up on both sides of the coffin, both of them were very sad, they were very similar, and suddenly remembered what her mother-in-law said before she left, that Song'er and Tie Shi looked the same, this father and son were actually very similar Yes, I feel even more sad in my heart, I am afraid that they will throw their fists at each other in the next moment.

If that's the case, I can't stop it at all.

So Ning Wan preemptively said: "My mother-in-law has gone peacefully, she is kind-hearted, just like a living person, let's let her go with peace of mind." Although she wanted to avoid confrontation between father and son, she spoke from her heart.Even though my mother-in-law was not perfect all her life, she could definitely be called a good person. In her later years, her heart became more charitable, she treated others more considerately, her expression became more peaceful and tolerant, and her face was actually kind like a bodhisattva.At the last moment, she kept smiling, and now the smile is still on her lips.

Ning Wan felt that she definitely didn't want to see any disputes, so she couldn't bear to let her wishes come to nothing. She must let the father and son see clearly.

Since the father-in-law entered the door, although the mother-in-law had said a few words to him, before she had time to speak, the matter was already like this. At this time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone in the world knows that I am sorry for her, and I am afraid I am really sorry. Hers, luckily she is doing well with you, now just tell me what you need for the funeral, I..."

Tie Shi cut off his father's words, "Mother's funeral will be handled by Wan'er and I." His voice was also hoarse, but he was extremely firm.

The father-in-law looked at his son, but did not refute, "Listen to you."

Tie Shi stood up and burned incense for his mother, then knelt before the coffin and burned papers one by one.

Ning Wan felt relieved, although the father and son still had ties, it was obvious that there was no anger between them.Think about what my mother-in-law said before she died, they will never fight again.

Tieshi's attitude towards his father was most influenced by his mother-in-law.The mother-in-law was bullied and was full of resentment towards her father-in-law, so the son naturally felt the same; the mother-in-law let go of everything, and the son didn't have so much hatred.

Having figured this out, Ning Wan calmly took the mourning gown and put it on Tie Shi, and she also put it on and knelt before the coffin.

The father-in-law sat in front of the coffin for a long time and left. When the funeral was held on the seventh day, he came again and sent the coffin away.Ning Wan looked on coldly, feeling that her father-in-law was not completely heartless towards her mother-in-law, as if her mother-in-law said she didn't care anymore, but she might not really think about her father-in-law anymore.But no matter what, now that the person has gone, no matter how deep the love is, it is meaningless.

On the contrary, the departure of her mother-in-law was a great blow to Tieshi.Although he was already in great pain outside, Ning Wan knew that he was actually holding on.When no one was around, he cried loudly in front of himself like a child.Ning Wan empathized with that kind of heart-pounding pain, she had no words to persuade him, she could only hold him in her arms and accompany him silently.

Fortunately, he is indeed the strongest person, and he survived it in a few days, and persuaded his daughter-in-law, "Those etiquettes are empty after all. When my mother was alive, we honored her with all my heart. Now she is there. You don't want us to suffer. You are breastfeeding the child now, so don't be like your third brother who said that you can't eat enough."

The third brother came to salute his mother-in-law a few days ago, and he did talk about the funeral ceremony, which was extremely harsh. Ning Wan just listened to it and passed it. Now she nodded and said: "I think the same as you, although the third brother is in Liaodong He has a reputation, but I always listen to his words with reason. My mother-in-law loves Huaihuaer and Songer so much. Is it impossible for me to do the funeral for my mother-in-law now and ignore their siblings? I want to take care of them even more Well, my mother-in-law is happy. For another example, if you are in the army, is it possible that you have to keep your filial piety and not train? Training soldiers not only need to eat well, but also eat well to be strong. The real sadness is not in eating and dressing, but in heart."

It turned out that there was an incident in the past two days, Commander Zhou actually came to express condolences in person, and signaled to Tieshi that he could send someone to take over from him in command of the army, so that he could concentrate on observing filial piety at home.It turns out that according to the law of the current dynasty, even if the military officer encounters the death of his parents, he will at most hold a fake funeral. Xiang Wuding's case, Commander Zhou, even ignored the law in order to seize the source of income from the Hujushan Carboniferous Mine.

Tie Shi understood his wife's meaning, shook his head and said, "Of course the coal mine cannot change hands, and it is even more impossible for the soldiers brought out by me to be handed over to Commander Zhou! The defeat of Deputy Zhou Qianhu last time made me understand that I must not believe it." them."

Of course Ning Wan supports her husband, if Hujushan is handed over, who will resist the barbarians?What's more, that is the foundation that Tie Shi worked so hard to create, and he has spent a lot of effort, so it can easily change hands!It's just that Commander Zhou is very powerful, even though Commander Lu is helping me, he is still worried, "Although you discussed it with Anpingwei earlier, Commander Zhou is the boss after all, and he will definitely make things difficult for you. Now I regret that the coal business should not be so big, and now everyone is staring at it like a wolf with green eyes."

"It's useless for anyone to stare at me. I won't change people in the charcoal business. I don't need anyone who is suspicious, and I don't need anyone who is suspicious. Since I have chosen Wei's old club and he has done a good job, I will let the Wei family continue to do it." Tie Shi continued. Tell my daughter-in-law, "You don't have to worry about me. The reason why Commander Zhou didn't do anything now is that he still didn't dare to move. One is that the bandits will reappear, and the other is that after the road to Huju Mountain is opened, there will be several vassal states. After this, I went to the capital to pay tribute, and no one can bear such a big responsibility if something happens after I replace me."

"It's so!" Although Ning Wan knew that there were people doing business in the Fuyu country, she had never heard of the tribute from the country. Presumably it was because Tieshi took down Huju Mountain in one fell swoop and opened up the road.After thinking about it, he came up with an idea, "Since Commander Zhou came to express his condolences and delivered the funeral ceremony, we don't need to owe him any favors. After a while, you can send him ten carts of charcoal for the winter, which can be regarded as an exposure of the matter." .”

Ten carts of charcoal is nothing, so Lu Tieshi didn't care, so he nodded, "Well, I'll let the Wei family deliver it, and you don't have to prepare another return gift for the Zhou family during the Chinese New Year."

"That's what I want." The Lu family's old house has never had any contact with the Zhou family. Now that Commander Zhou delivered the funeral ceremony, it is reasonable for Ning Wan to prepare a gift in return. When the family comes back, maybe there will be female relatives coming to talk, Ning Wan feels disgusted when she thinks that the Zhou family is going to send a concubine to Tie Shi. Could it be that they still want to take away Tie Shi's position as wife?Of course Tie Shi would not agree, but she didn't want to see Zhou's daughter again.Some time ago for her mother-in-law's birthday and this funeral, she didn't post a message to Xu Qianhu's family, and made it clear that she just didn't want to have any contact with Mrs. Zhou.

Ever since the mother-in-law passed away, the husband and wife have been heartbroken, and there were many things related to the funeral, so they finally had the opportunity to talk quietly together. They were congenial and comforted each other. We held each other and fell asleep, but when we woke up again, it was different.

Tie Shi took off his filial piety and put on his armor and went to the army. Although this time he had not been out of the army for the longest time, it was the first time he left suddenly without careful deployment, and it was no longer appropriate to delay any longer.

Ning Wan stayed at home, but also cheered up to take care of things at home again.

She tidied and cleaned her mother-in-law's room carefully, sorted out several large bags of clothes, and distributed them to the people around her mother-in-law according to the customs of Liaodong, and then asked everyone what they thought.Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu have been with her mother-in-law for half their lives. Now that they want to go home, Ning Wan will give away one hundred mu of land and 200 taels of silver, which is enough for them to live without worries; For a few years, they were left alone, but also because they always rewarded their mother-in-law for being considerate and diligent; then they closed Chunhui Hall, so that they and Tie Shi could come and have a look when they missed their mother-in-law...

Huai Hua'er had already moved into her own room, and suddenly left the grandmother who loved her the most, and was about to ask her mother to take care of her a lot, and Song'er, who grew up day by day, stopped eating, sleeping, and sleeping. And he loves to roll over and over, always watch carefully, lest he accidentally fall into the kang...

As for the accounts, she should also look at them. She didn't have the heart to ask no matter where the money was paid, as long as things are done well, there is no other request.Although the family is rich, it is not the norm to do this, and we still have to live...

Therefore, in the following family affairs, Ning Wan put her heart into it, but unexpectedly she took a second look and saw a person - Widow Mei.Originally, Ning Wan didn't recognize Widow Mei, and they haven't seen each other for some years, and Widow Mei's appearance has changed a lot.When Ning Wan saw a little girl with Widow Mei, she felt pity.

The child was younger than Sophora Hua'er, dressed in shabby clothes, because his mother was busy with work, he obediently followed beside him, wrapped in an old skirt of Widow Mei's, his little face was flushed from the cold in winter.Those who have given birth can't bear the sight of their children suffering, so Ning Wan asked someone to bring some snacks and hot soup for the children to eat and drink, and asked a few words before she recognized the person.It turned out that Widow Mei was kicked out of the house by Ning Qing, and her child was not kept by the Liu family because she was a loser.

"How did you get here?"

Although Widow Mei knew the Ning sisters, she didn't recognize Mrs. Lu either. She didn't know much at first, and she didn't expect that General Lu's family was actually Ning Qing's husband's family, so she hurried forward and gave a gift and said gratefully: "I used to be a eccentric house. I was kicked out by the eldest lady of the family, and I did some odd jobs everywhere. I heard that your family is very generous in organizing funerals. Anyone who comes to help with some work will be rewarded, so I rushed here to do things. Because I know some things Needlework, the work is pretty good, and the stewards of your mansion even gave extra rewards."

Ning Wan sighed, and asked: "Your network is very good, why don't you sell network anymore?"

"How does madam know?" Widow Mei knew that she had met an old friend, but she couldn't figure out who this graceful and luxurious young lady was after looking at her for a long time. I can’t save enough money to buy thread.” Seeing his wife’s kindness and generosity, he plucked up the courage to ask, “Dare to ask Madam, but have you ever been to Mayi Town?”

Ning Wan said: "I am the youngest daughter of Deju Fengning's family."

"So it's..." Widow Mei stopped in the middle of her sentence. She was stunned for a moment and then she said in fear: "I never said anything bad about the eldest lady! Back then, my husband helped me with my mother-in-law's funeral and told me that I had already retired." I married the eldest lady, and later I found out that the eldest lady did not leave the Liu family, she just went out to do business and could not come back. I became a concubine, and this time when the eldest lady returned, I realized that the husband cannot take concubines casually. It's all my fault. Ma'am, I won't go back to Liu's house again, I'll take the child away." As he said that, he was about to take down the bowl from the child's hand, but it was rare for the child to eat something sweet and delicious. Ken lets go.

Seeing her incoherent and frightened expression, Ning Wan hurriedly stopped her, "If the child wants to eat, just let her eat. Didn't I know that you were actually deceived by Liu Wulang." Widow Mei must have thought that she would be partial to her family, but in fact she was not.Ning Wan thought for a while and asked, "How much money did you get as a pension?"

Widow Mei looked at Mrs. Lu, wondering how she could understand these details, and said, "20 taels."

Ning Wan called someone over, "Go to Liu's house, a peddler in Mayi Town, and find Liu Wulang, who is in the melon and fruit business, and ask him to pay back Mei's 20 taels of compensation plus 20 taels of interest. If he doesn't Ken, just tell him that Mrs. Mei is going to the county government to sue, conspiring for money, and abducting a woman from a good family, the county magistrate Qian can’t just give him five boards once for this crime!"

Widow Mei regained her senses when she saw that the man had left, and tremblingly said: "Madam, please spare me, I dare not sue the officials."

Ordinary common people are naturally afraid of the Yamen, even Ning Qing, who is as aggressive as Ning Qing, was provoked by himself to sue.Widow Mei has half of Ning Qing's ability, so she won't end up where she is now.Ning Wan waved her hand and said, "Just wait, Liu Wulang will definitely send the money in a while."

Widow Mei still said tremblingly: "But even if the husband agrees, the eldest lady will not agree."

Of course Ning Qing was unwilling to take out the money, but as long as Liu Wulang thought of the board he was beaten in the lobby of the county government that day, he dared not take it out.

Liu Wulang got the Mei family's money, so of course he would not tell Ning Qing.And besides that, Ning Wan firmly believes that Liu Wulang must still have private money!With his cunning temperament and his long-awaited intentions, he will definitely deceive Ning Qing into hiding his private money.This money just happened to be returned to Mrs. Mei.
