Road to Rebirth

Chapter 223
That night, Mr. Gu and the others came back.

But it's not good.

Mr. Gu has no gas, only gas, the hospital told him to go home to arrange the funeral.

Gu Ruhai didn't say a word.

Gu Ruhe's face was ashen-colored, sitting beside Old Master Gu, he didn't move at all, almost like a dead person.

The family has already started to get busy.

Li Xuemei can't just sit still.

This is something that has been put on the agenda, even if you pretend to be okay, but you can't make it through tonight.

The old lady Gu has cried to death several times, and every time she wakes up, she points at Gu Ruhe and curses for a while. The old face, which was already thin, has a lot of wrinkles in an instant, and the hair turns white overnight. head.

At dawn, Mr. Gu opened his eyes and looked at Gu Ruhe, then at Gu Ruhai, and then raised his fingers to grab Gu Ruhai's hand, but he collapsed decadently.

Mr. Gu passed away.

After a burst of crying in the room.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei began to inform the families in the village.

There are too many things to do, and I need someone to help.

Gu Ruhai's spirit was not good, he stayed up all night, there were black shadows under his eyes, his beard was already growing wildly like weeds on a prairie fire, and the white hair on his temples suddenly increased a lot, it was as scary as silver frost.

The village quickly got the letter, and many people came to help.

The funeral began to get busy in an orderly manner.

According to the rules of the village, Mr. Gu had to stay at home for three days.

But it is summer now, and there is no way to let it go for three days.

Most people feel that they can be buried in a day at most.

If there is not enough time, the old people will feel that this is disrespect for the deceased.

But Gu Ruhai insisted on bringing back a large freezer from the county with a truck, and put old man Gu in the freezer with a bedding on it.

Mr. Gu's old clothes were not prepared at first, but Li Xuemei asked Gu Xiaoying to drive back from the town to buy them.

Gu Ruhai didn't let others interfere in anything, even the matter of changing clothes was done by this son himself.

The coffin has been set up.

Gu Ruhe was wearing a white filial piety, with a white belt tied around his head, kneeling on the old man's right hand in a daze, neither crying nor expression, just staring blankly at the old man in the freezer.

Gu Xiaoqing, Gu Xiaoying and the others also changed their clothes.

All are a white belt around the waist, and they are covered with filial piety clothes.

Take turns keeping watch in front of the old man.

The helpers in the village have quickly notified the relatives of each family and the Gu family in each village.

At noon, someone came to Gu Rushan's place, but it wasn't Gu Rushan, it was Gu Xiaocheng.

Only then did people know that Gu Rushan and his wife had never returned to the village and were not at home. Gu Xiaocheng didn't know where his parents had gone, so Gu Xiaocheng was the only one who appeared here representing the second wife of the Gu family.

The funeral was proceeding in an orderly manner.

As soon as the three-day vigil was over, Mr. Gu was buried in a coffin made of high-quality mahogany and buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family.

It's on the side of the mountain in Gujiazhuang, where the ancestral graves of many people in the village are located.

Things seem to be running out.

But people obviously came out wrong, Gu Ruhai, the boss of the Gu family, never said a word to Gu Ruhe, and Gu Ruhe finally passed out crying on the grave of old man Gu.

The coffin shed in the yard was dismantled, and everything seemed to be peaceful.

But only the Gu family knows that this matter is not over at all.

Xiao Xue nervously took the two children to follow Gu Ruhe, and sat in Gu Ruhai's yard. Gu Ruhai was sitting there not talking, just smoking.

The old lady Gu finally managed to give Gu Ruhe face in front of the villagers, and she didn't swear harshly, but she also pointed at Gu Ruhe and said that she didn't want to see Gu Ruhe in the future.

People didn't know what was going on, but some smart people guessed that it must have something to do with Gu Ruhe.

Gu Ruhai stomped out the cigarette butt on the ground with his leather shoes, then looked at Gu Ruhe and said, "Father, before I leave, I want to promise to save you this time. This is my dying look, and I will not stop doing it."

He took out a stack of money from his purse and put it on the table.

"Here is 1 yuan. Take it away. From now on, you will no longer be my brother, and don't ask me for anything. I don't have such a brother who pissed off my father."

After Gu Ruhai finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the room.

Li Xuemei looked at Gu Ruhe.

Xiao Xue pulled Gu Ruhe, but Gu Ruhe didn't move.

In the past few days, Gu Ruhe looked like a dead person.

No one knew what Gu Ruhe was thinking.

It took Gu Ruhe a long time to move, reached out and picked up the pile of money, then got up and pulled Xiao Xue away.

Li Xuemei curled her lips involuntarily.

This man.

Now Mrs. Gu was left alone.

Gu Ruhai would be worried if the old lady was left in the village.

But Mrs. Gu's temper and temperament would not be easy if she was in the city.

In the end, under Aunt Zhang's repeated assurances and the village chief's peace, Mrs. Gu stayed in the village temporarily.

Gu Ruhai gave the old lady 100 yuan of living expenses every month, plus 80 yuan a month for hiring Aunt Zhang.

The old lady had a good time too.

What's more, the old lady is in good health now, no illness or disaster, even if she has lived in the village for ten or eight years, people think it's okay.

Besides, there are still those old sisters who are familiar with me here.

A few days later, Gu Ruhai took his family back to the city.

The matter of the Gu family's spicy hot pot in the city can't be left alone.

But Gu Ruhai has changed a lot, he seems to be less talkative.

This is a problem in the heart, Gu Xiaoqing can't help, and can only wait for the old man to come out by himself, this is probably stimulated by the fact that the old man was pissed to death.

Gu Xiaoqing's school will start in ten days.

There is no other mind to consider more.

Li Xuemei's family started to pack Gu Xiaoqing's things for school, preparing to send the child to Shanghai.

Gu Xiaoqing didn't let her parents send her off.

Now Gu Xiaoqing is already a big girl, with money in her hand, she is not so timid and very confident, so she doesn't want her parents to worry.

After all, it was his first time traveling abroad.

Besides, before this, Gu Xiaoqing had to go to Fang Shaohan to ask, what should I do with my own affairs?

The black hand behind this scene has not been caught for a day, so why can't I still not go to school?

This is impossible.

However, Fang Shaohan quickly wrote back and said that the police behind the scenes will solve the matter, so that Gu Xiaoqing can go to school in Shanghai with peace of mind, and someone will protect her.

They have already made in-depth contact with the Shanghai police, and have applied for an assisted investigation of this case.

Gu Xiaoqing got on the plane to Shanghai.
