Chapter 113

After arguing for a long time, the members of the He clan finally decided on the funeral specifications for Grand Uncle—if they were not settled, there would be no time to prepare. He Futing had to compromise and follow the requirements of the other two families.

He stopped for seven or seven days for 49 days.

Tomorrow we will accept mourning, and on the third day, we will hold a "hanging wine" to entertain guests, and we will invite monks to chant scriptures every day for three days of mourning.During the mourning period, every seventh day, monks would be asked to chant scriptures all night, and "funeral wine" would be held on the day of the funeral.

After the matter was settled, those who went to buy ingredients, those who went to the paper-making shop to order paper, those who went to the temple to order super-delivery team members, and those who notified the married woman to come back for the funeral... The He family sent a total of more than [-] people. The people from the ancestral house and the clan, and the people from the side branches just came and went for a cutscene and then dispersed.

When going out, He Tao asked He Lian in a low voice, "Where is He Youtian? Why didn't he come?"

"I went to Wang's Village early in the morning to pick up my second sister-in-law. He probably doesn't know yet!" He Lian also whispered.

"Uncle too!"

The two of them were muttering, when they suddenly heard a mournful cry, they turned their heads to see a crying person running towards this side, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be He Youtian they were discussing!
As expected, He Youtian's leg has healed!Although he stumbled, it could be seen that his legs were functioning normally.

Running behind He Youtian was Wang Qionghua who had lived in her natal home for more than two months. The two looked very embarrassed and covered in mud.

"It looks like I fell hundreds of times on the road..." He Tao turned her head and whispered to He Lian. Before she could finish speaking, she saw He Youtian fall to the ground with a "bah!" Wang Qionghua hurried forward to pull him up , the two continued to run towards this side, and then performed a good show of "ten steps and three falls".

He Tao's mouth twitched: "It seems that I have fallen hundreds of times!"

This He Youtian is really a weirdo!To be so cold-blooded and ruthless to my grandma--Although the Da Zhou family is not a good person, but he has nothing to say to him. He can still be relentless when the Da Zhou family is paralyzed, but to the great-uncle whose blood is already very thin , but he seemed to have died of his own father.

He Tao felt a strange sense of disobedience, and always felt that He Youtian seemed to be acting, and his sadness was too much.

I guess it's just for goodwill, right?He Tao thought to herself, whether it's acting or showing her true feelings, it has nothing to do with her anyway!
"Nian Zong, let's go back!" He Tao took Nian Zong's hand: "Tomorrow we will offer incense and kowtow to Grand Uncle."

Grand Uncle's funeral was held in a very grand manner, which can be said to be the only one in the history of Rongshu Village.

The day after the great uncle passed away, the mourning hall had already been set up.

In the mourning hall, there are upper, middle and lower three sacrificial altars. The upper one offers a whole pig, a whole sheep, and a whole chicken as sacrifices, as well as some melons, fruits, and joss sticks.Both sides of the mourning hall are densely packed with more than a hundred wreaths and paper bundles of various colors.

The body of the great uncle is placed in the birthday material in the middle of the mourning hall.A small table was placed at the end of the coffin, on which steamed buns and incense candles were offered, and under the table was a brazier, into which filial sons and virtuous grandchildren kept adding paper money and ingots.

The married women of the He family all came back the next day to mourn with their families. Including the descendants of the clan, there were nearly 300 people crowded in the ancestral house. Even in the village, the crying from the He family's ancestral house could be heard .

The next day began to receive condolences from the folks.

Not to mention the people in the village, people from every household came, and the nearby villages also heard that many people came, as well as a large number of students taught by the great uncle, as well as the parents of the current students.No matter men, women, young or old, they all had mourning on their faces, and even people like Xi Pozi were very serious, offering incense and kowtow at the door without saying a single unnecessary word.From morning to night, there was an endless stream, and the people singing in the mourning hall changed four or five times.

The villagers also took the initiative to keep a filial piety for the great uncle for seven days. The children who usually fight cocks and dogs outside all day long are also detained at home by their parents, and they are not allowed to go out to mess around. Rongshu Village has become unprecedentedly peaceful.

Just when Rongshu Village fell into dead silence because of the death of the great-uncle, something happened in the village again.

Rong Ping, the youngest daughter of Rong's fourth family by the big river at the end of Rongshu Village, died!
Originally, this matter was nothing, but the time and place of Rong Ping's death happened to be too coincidental, it happened to be drowned in the river where Tai Uncle drowned on the night of Tai Uncle's first seventh day!
Some people said that she happened to be in the way of the great uncle returning to his soul, and some said that it was because the great uncle was too lonely down there and wanted to find someone to accompany her...

At this time, someone suddenly mentioned Rong Ping's sister—Rong Lan.

Isn't that where Rong Lan committed suicide by jumping into the river? !
Could it be that Rong Lan's ghost was responsible for the deaths of Grand Uncle and Rong Ping?
In short, for a while, people in Rongshu Village were panicked.

Two days after the great uncle's burial, on the first day of November, He Tao's small workshop opened.

There are more people this year, four more people than last year, and the east room can't accommodate so many people, so she simply changed the base to the twins' play house.The twins were left to Fu Shi, and the father and daughter, Nian Zu and Nian Zong were active in the east room.

The room was full of women, and no one paid attention to anything. They took off their shoes and entered the room, and sat down on the floor around them.

"Aren't A Lian here?" Chunya asked He Tao as soon as she entered the room and didn't see He Lian.

"I'm busy at home, and she's not free. You and Chunni should work harder this year, um, work harder!"

In fact, the He family was not that busy, and according to He Lian, Xiao Chen agreed, but He Fuguo disagreed stubbornly.

"By the way, Zhu Xue is your first time here, follow Chun Ya and Chun Ni to learn hard!"

Zhu Xue nodded shyly.

The newcomers, He Tao, have met alone in advance, and they were all introduced by Fu Qiuyue. Her two sister-in-laws, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, Xu Sanniang, and the second daughter-in-law, Xu Qiniang, all know each other well, so they can enter directly without the need for greetings. got to the point.

According to the old rules, He Tao disassembled a sample she made to let them see clearly that Chun Ya, Chun Ni, and Zhu Xue were in charge of cutting the fabric, and the others were in charge of sewing.

At the beginning, everyone concentrated on sewing, and after getting the hang of it, they became less nervous. These people are veteran female celebrities. As long as they know what they are doing, they can sew well with their eyes closed. They talked about it while they were working. gossip.

Naturally, it was the biggest gossip in Rongshu Village recently.

Song Cuihua brought up the topic first: "You all know about Rong Ping, right?"

"Oh, don't talk about it, I'm still scared!" The newcomer Xu Qiniang was the least timid, she trembled when she heard the word "Rongping", her face turned pale, as if she could cry at any time Same.

"Why are you so scared?" Song Cuihua asked puzzled.

Fu Qiuyue took over the conversation and said: "You don't know, she is timid. On the night when the bottle accident happened, she came back from her mother's house late. She took a shortcut and just came back from the other side of the river, passing by the place where the bottle accident happened. At that time, I fell and almost fell into the river!"

Xu Qiniang said with lingering fear: "I always feel that maybe I was the one who died that night! I have had nightmares every day for the past two days..."

He Tao, a member of Scientology, said: "If you really believe in ghosts, you should believe that 'the king of Hades wants people to die in the third watch and will not keep them until the fifth watch'. If nothing happens, it only means that your lifespan is not over yet. No one can leave! What are you afraid of!"

"That's right! You still have a long life!" Tang Wenmei said.

"What are you afraid of?" Xue Ya said carelessly.

Cheng Miao analyzed seriously: "You think Rong Lan's ghost killed you once, and you survived, which means that you have nothing to do with her!"

Xu Qiniang was taken aback for a moment, it seemed to make sense!Having said that, she really wasn't afraid anymore, and not only that, she also took the initiative to say: "What the hell is going on with that Rong Lan?"

"You don't know about this?" Song Cuihua asked back in surprise. After asking, she remembered that Xu Qiniang had only married at the beginning of the year. It's normal for her to be unclear about the old affairs in Rongshu Village, so she said, "Did Rong Lan jump into the river?" suicide."

"I know this, but why?" Because Xu Qiniang was timid, when her family members talked about this before, she avoided it.

"It's a long story." Song Cuihua moved a bit, changed into a comfortable position, and then began to speak: "Rong Lan and Rong Ping are the daughters of the fourth Rong's family by the river..."

Rong and Lao Si are notoriously meek, they speak and do things a little slower than others, and some people even say that they actually have some brain problems, pointing at them behind their backs.

But their daughters——Rong Lan and Rong Ping are both good-looking and smart enough. God seems to have given their daughters all the things that they forgot to give to Rong Lao Si and his wife.

The younger sister, Rong Ping, is notoriously hot-tempered. Since she was a child, she refused to take any disadvantages. As she gets older, her personality becomes more eccentric, even a little extreme. Those who spoke ill of her parents behind her back were speechless, among them Xi Pozi was choked the most.

Who is Mrs. Xi, she is famous for her big mouth and gossip, but she is also a matchmaker, and she is a matchmaker that everyone quite likes.Offending Mrs. Xi is tantamount to cutting off her marriage.

Because Rong Ping offended Mrs. Xi, her elder sister Rong Lan's marriage was not going well, and she didn't marry until she was 22 years old. I heard that the man still married reluctantly.Sure enough, Rong Lan was married less than two years ago, and was retired to Rongshu Village last spring.

She didn't say exactly why she was divorced, but others will guess!

The villagers did not come to a conclusion after guessing.Finally, Mrs. Xi appeared on the stage again, and went to the village where Ronglan's mother-in-law lived to inquire, and came back to tell the people in Rongshu Village that Ronglan was dismissed because she did not obey women's morals.

Now you can poke a hornet's nest, where did you get it? !It is simply ruining the reputation of our entire village!Everyone in the village said everything, and some people said that Ronglan should sink the pond and drive his family out of Rongshu Village.The clan elders in the village were all discussing this matter, but before they reached a conclusion, Rong Lan couldn't take it anymore, and committed suicide by jumping into the river to end his short life!
