Chapter 6959 Becoming Sensible
"How can I make trouble with her? She has the support of her mother-in-law, and I, an old man, have nothing to support me?" Wang Hongquan said with aggrieved face.
My eyes occasionally glanced at Wang Cuihua and Wang Chunhua, "From now on, I won't even have anyone around me to support me in my old age. I'm so pitiful, oh oh oh..."
< br>Wang Hongtao is really one of two people. How can there be such a person in this world? His son has been tortured to death by him and he is still making trouble here. He is still worrying about who will provide for him until he is old. Could it be that he raised a son just to provide for himself in his old age? So selfish!
"Then tell me who I should go to for this matter? You can't let me, as an uncle, make all the decisions, right? That doesn't make sense, and I don't have the obligation!"
Wang Hongtao also lowered his face to make his attitude clear.
I and Wang Hongquan were not biological brothers to begin with, but cousins. It was just because my mother passed away early back then that we often went to the uncle and aunt's house to have dinner.
My aunt made clothes and shoes for all seasons. She and my cousin Wang Hongquan played together. A few years ago, my aunt hanged herself, but Wang Hongtao always kept this friendship in his heart.
Shuanzi's nephew has weak bones since he was young, so Wang Hongtao felt particularly sorry for this nephew. The uncle and nephew had a good relationship over the years.
Whenever Shuanzi was unhappy with something, he would even go to his uncle Wang Hongtao to talk to him over his own father Wang Hongquan. Now that Shuanzi is gone, Wang Hongtao doesn't have such a good temper when facing Wang Hongquan.
"Brother, if you still feel sorry for Shuanzi's untimely death, then put away your temper and pettiness, and don't make trouble with Mei'er right now, otherwise, Shuanzi will never be able to live in peace!"
After saying this, Wang Hongtao turned around and walked out of the house. He planned to go home and tell his mother-in-law that he would take out a few taels of silver to cover his expenses, so that his nephew could be buried smoothly no matter what.
As soon as I arrived in the yard, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was Yang Huazhong.
“Lao San, what’s wrong?” Wang Hongtao asked.
Yang Huazhong pulled him aside, took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it in his hand.
Wang Hongtao was even more surprised: "Lao San, what are you doing?"
Yang Huazhong said: "The old Wang family is Mei'er's housekeeper. Now Mei'er has fallen down and is unconscious and can't take care of things. Shuanzi's funeral is also Don't be careless , money is needed everywhere, you take the money to take care of things first, and then tell me if you are short, I'm tired of you! "
The funeral arrangements can only be handled by Lao Wang's family. Xiaohei is too young, so it will definitely not work.
Wang Hongquan can’t count on it either.
We can only tire Wang Hongtao and the others.
Wang Hongtao and the others contributed their efforts, and Lao Yang's family contributed money. Both parties worked together to overcome this difficulty first.
Wang Hongtao did not follow Yang Huazhong's courtesy, patted Yang Huazhong on the shoulder and accepted the money.
A lonely old man from the village who specializes in burying people was invited to seal Wang Shuanzi's coffin. At this time, Yang Huamei had been in a comatose state.
Everyone deliberately did not wake her up. Her condition was really worrying...
The ladies of the old Yang family, headed by Tan, stayed in the west room of the old Wang family. Accompanying Yang Huamei.
The young and old men of the Yang family, headed by Yang Huazhong, were also busy in and out of Lao Wang's house. Even Yang Ruoqing hurried back to Luo's house during dinner, and after talking to Luo Fengtang for a while, At his urging, he returned to Lao Wang's house to help.
At this time, at Lao Wang's house, all the villagers watching the excitement dispersed. The night was deep and the village gradually fell into sleep.
The lights inside and outside the courtyard of Lao Wang's house are still bright, but even so, young nieces and nephews like Cao Bamei, Zhao Liu'er and others gathered together in the west room to accompany Yang Huamei, and they did not dare to drink tea to refresh themselves, for fear of drinking I have to go to the toilet later.
Although Wang Shuanzi has loaded the coffin, it is still in the main room and will be quietly carried to the village's public ancestral hall in the early morning.
During this process, even if some of them wanted to go to the toilet, they tried their best to hold it in and did not dare to go. Even though the lights were on in the front room and the backyard, I was still afraid. The kind of fear was indescribable. I was just afraid. I was so scared that I felt cold all over. I just wanted to squeeze into a crowded place.
Yang Ruoqing was not afraid, and would get up from time to time to patrol the front and backyard to prevent the lantern from rolling over and causing a fire.
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou came in from the courtyard. They had gone to the ancestral hall to prepare, and they discussed in low voices all the way into the courtyard.
Yang Ruoqing walked towards them and discussed: "Dad, fifth uncle, I asked several sisters-in-law before, and they all insisted on sending uncle to the ancestral hall and then back. We will wait later. After the ancestral hall, how many of you will give way? Cousin, please send your sisters-in-law back. The children at home are left alone with the aunt, and everyone is worried. "
Even girls of Mianmian, Xiuxiu and Luo Baobao's age are here at the moment. Lao Wang's family is accompanying me.
Yang Huazhong nodded, "I just told your fourth and fifth uncles about this. Your cousins don't have to come over tonight. Over at the ancestral hall, your fourth and fifth uncles and I will accompany Xiao Hei to wake up."
Yang Huazhou nodded, "If Yongjin and Yongzhi don't stay at home, their mothers won't be able to sleep well."
After all, Wang Shuanzi just died, and he died so tragically, who is not afraid of women and children?
Not to mention the old Yang family, even the people in the village were scared to death, as if a huge black cloud was covering the sky above Changping Village.
"Father, fifth uncle, let my mother and fifth aunt go back when the time comes, and I will stay and help my aunt take care of her." Yang Ruoqing said again.
Yang Huazhong frowned: "How can it be done? You have to go home and rest!"
"I can bear it, and I have also made an agreement with Tang Yazi to let my mother, fifth aunt and the others Let’s all go back, we’ll be busy tomorrow!”
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou looked at each other, both confused.
"They are timid. They stay here all night and are too cold to drink a sip of tea. I'm not afraid. It's best for me to stay."
Yang Ruoqing's last two sentences came up After playing a crucial role, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou exchanged glances again and nodded heavily.
The matter was discussed and they were notified respectively.
Towards the early morning, everyone carried the coffin and set off a short firecracker. The old man who was organizing the funeral led the way with a rooster with its neck cut off. Drops of blood fell to the ground.
Others followed and escorted Wang Shuanzi's coffin all the way to the ancestral hall.
At this time, there were four people left in Lao Wang’s family.
In the east room are Mr. Tan and the sleeping Yang Huamei.
In the west room were Wang Hongquan and Wang Hongtao, who stayed with him.
Because they are elders, they have to avoid such occasions. Everyone else, regardless of gender, old or young, went to the ancestral hall.
After two more small ceremonies were held in the ancestral hall according to local customs, the old man who was invited to handle the wedding sealed Wang Shuanzi's mouth with the leaves of a local plant called 'Golden Branch'. The nose and ears gave the filial son Xiaohei one last look, and finally the nails were driven into the coffin to completely seal the coffin.
Xiao Hei cried so hard that his whole body twitched, with tears and snot hanging on his chin. He was helped aside by Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi.
Since he was little, he cried the most today.
It was as if he had grown up a lot in this moment.
