Chapter 4046 Confession
The two younger daughters-in-law also wiped their tears with handkerchiefs and cried, "Good aunt...", and then went to comfort and support their respective mothers-in-law.
They were all wearing home clothes when they came home, but Liu Doukou was completely different.
Like Yang Ruoqing, the adopted daughter, she was dressed in linen mourning clothes, without any makeup, and all the gold and silver jewelry on her body was taken off, except for a white chrysanthemum on her bun.
She knelt quietly next to Zichuan Niang, and gently stroked Zichuan Niang's cold hands with both hands.
There was no fear at all, with a pretty face as big as a palm and a pale complexion, and she kept saying 'Mother-in-law...'
"My wife is late..." Then she cried so hard that her shoulders shrugged and she cried several times. Choking...
Liu Doukou cried so hard that she fainted several times, looking like she could not wait to follow Zichuan Niang.
This made the two sisters-in-law who came with her a little at a loss. They didn't know whether to comfort their mother-in-law or come over to cheer up their sister-in-law.
At the same time, they themselves have to work hard to look devastated. Oh, it’s really hard work.
Therefore, the women here, such as Sun and Wang Cuilian, must play their role at this moment and come forward to persuade.
Amidst the cries one after another, Yang Ruoqing came to Baobao Luo on the side.
Kneel down in front of her and gently hold Luo Baobao's slightly cool hand.
The little girl stared unblinkingly at the crying women over there with her big, bright eyes, confusion and fear flashing in her eyes.
"Are you tired, baby? Mom, will you take you home first?" Yang Ruoqing asked softly.
Previously, she came to kowtow to Zichuan Niang as her goddaughter, but after the kowtow was over, Yang Ruoqing still wanted to take the child away.
After all, the body of Zichuan Niang was lying in this room. Whether it was from a superstitious or scientific perspective, this room was not suitable for children to stay for a long time.
Baby Luo nodded, stood up and was led tightly by Yang Ruoqing towards the door of the house. When passing by Sun and Wang Cuilian, Yang Ruoqing told Sun.
Ms. Sun nodded quickly. In fact, she had wanted Yang Ruoqing to take Baby Luo and leave first...
Yang Ruoqing led Baby Luo out of the west room. In the hall, Mu Zichuan's uncle Putting a hand on Mu Zichuan's shoulder, he was speaking words of inquiry and comfort.
Mu Zichuan's two cousins stood aside with their hands hanging down, their faces full of grief, and they would also give words of advice from time to time.
When Yang Ruoqing reprimanded Baby Luo for coming out, she happened to hear the Mu family's uncle say to Mu Zichuan: "Your uncle fainted when he heard the bad news of your mother's death. He wants to come over. We stopped him dead or alive."
"Let him recuperate at home first. In a day or two, wait until your mother has a funeral ceremony the day after tomorrow, and then ask him to come over. Moreover, your uncle will take care of the funeral at home."
"Your uncle asked me to bring you a message. Here you go, my condolences, your mother is gone, you still have us, and you still have Cardamom, hold on!" said the uncle of the Mu family.
Muzichuan nodded, his face moved.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Ruoqing leading Baby Luo out, and Mu Zichuan said: "Uncle, I'll leave for a moment."
The Mu family's uncle said: "Okay, you go and do your work. It’s time for us to go see your mother.”
When Mu Zichuan caught up, Yang Ruoqing had already led Luo Baobao out of the Mu family’s yard.
"Qing'er, wait for me." Muzichuan chased after him and said.
Yang Ruoqing turned around, glanced at him, and then behind him: "Why did you come out?"
Mu Zichuan glanced at Baby Luo who was standing next to Yang Ruoqing and said, "Are you going to send the baby home?" Yang Ruoqing nodded, "It's getting dark, I have to send her back to take a bath and sleep."
Mu Zichuan said: "I have worked hard for this kid today. Let's take a moment." Zhou sat there for a long time like a little adult."
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "She is the granddaughter of the godmother, so it is appropriate for her to come and give her a ride."
Mu. Zichuan said: "Let's go, I will take you mother and daughter back."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to stop him: "No, your family is so busy now, how can you leave? Go back quickly. Besides, it's not convenient for you to walk around the village wearing hemp and filial piety."
Muzichuan glanced at the white clothes he was wearing and the white pieces of cloth sewn on the toes of his shoes. It was really inconvenient.
As for Yang Ruoqing, when she left the house, she had taken off her linen mourning clothes and put them on her arms.
Mu Zichuan said: "Then I'll take off my clothes first. It's getting dark now. I have to send you away..."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand again and held down his arm, seriously He said: "Zichuan, what time has it been? There is no need to be like this. We, mother and daughter, are not afraid. You should go back quickly. You are the only filial son and cannot leave casually!"
After saying this, Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and touched Baobao Luo's head, "Say goodbye to uncle."
Baby Luo said to Mu Zichuan obediently: "Goodbye, uncle."
Mu Zichuan forced out a smile and nodded.
Only when he saw the child's innocent face, his mood could ease a little.
Watching Yang Ruoqing and her daughter leave, Mu Zichuan also took a deep breath, cheered up and returned to the yard.
His mother is gone, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety properly when her mother was alive. Now that her mother is gone, this is the last thing he can do for her.
On the way home, Baobao Luo was unusually quiet and didn't say a word.
Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything. Her godmother left. She just came from Lao Mu's house. She still had that sad atmosphere on her body, and her whole mood was like a suppressed flame that couldn't be lifted up.
At home, Xiaoyu was there. When they saw Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao coming back, Tuoba Xian and Xiaoyu hurried over to greet them.
"Have you not had dinner yet? Xiaoyu has cooked the meal in the backyard." Tuoba Xian said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Well, uncle and aunt should have dinner at Lao Mu's house at night. Let's eat first."
After hearing this, Xiaoyu quickly took Luo Baobao to wash his hands. Here, Tuoba Xian brought a bowl of hot tea to Yang Ruoqing and asked, "How is the funeral going at Lao Mu's house?"
Yang Ruoqing took a sip of hot tea. , said: "We are almost ready. We are just waiting for the burial tomorrow morning. We will keep vigil today and tomorrow, and do the rituals the day after tomorrow."
Tuoba Xian nodded, "There is strength in numbers, and there are so many of you. I went over to help, and things will go smoothly.”
“Qing’er, you’re back tonight, so you don’t have to go over there anymore, right?” she asked again.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while and said: "I want to give the baby a bath after dinner later, and put her to sleep after the bath. When she goes to sleep, I will go over to see what's going on."
The Liu family is here. There were so many people here, including two nephews, two nieces-in-law, and Liu Doukou, the daughter-in-law-to-be who had not yet passed the wedding. With so many people here, she probably just went to check on the situation and then came back.
Soon Baobao Luo came back after washing his hands. Yang Ruoqing and Tuoba Xian stopped talking about this topic and began to prepare the dishes and chopsticks for dinner.
