Chapter 184: Brothers' Rivalry
“...... Hey, this old lady of the Chen family is also guilty, and she has never enjoyed the blessings of her children for a few days in her life. ”
"Who's to say it's not...... I guess this old lady is angry alive. ”
Stepping into the courtyard, Lian Ge casually found a place next to the courtyard and stood still, and the voices of the villagers around him clearly reached his ears.
On the side, the old man in the village also stopped beside Lian Ge, looked at the courtyard, and couldn't help but shake his head,
"Little sir, you stand here for a while, old man, and I'll go in and put incense on this old lady. The old man turned his head and said to Lian Ge.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded.
The old man moved his steps again and walked into the makeshift mourning hall in the courtyard hall.
......
Standing at the edge of the courtyard, Lian Ge quietly stared at the courtyard in front of him.
The villagers scattered throughout the courtyard were still whispering, the cook who was organizing the funeral feast was busy by the makeshift stove board set up at the edge of the courtyard, and some cold dishes were gradually being served to the tables.
From time to time, people who had left the wedding feast stepped into the courtyard, most of them alone, and when they entered the courtyard, they walked towards their wives, children, and husbands.
Obviously, all the families in the village went to the wedding banquet and the funeral banquet separately.
“...... Old Qian, why did you come here? Didn't you eat wine over there?"
"I can't eat the wine, and the woman is spilling it. ”
"Isn't it her son getting married today, and he is still messing around at this time?"
"Oh, that woman is still divided into occasions? Who in the village doesn't know, when she is crazy, she cares about you, she is crying and grabbing the ground, her son is eager to get into the cracks in the ground on that stage, and I am ashamed of her...... I saw that the wedding feast didn't taste right, so I came. ”
......
"Hey, whoever has such a daughter-in-law is estimated to have to live ten or twenty years less. ”
“...... That is, the old lady has already gone, otherwise she would have to be angry again when she saw this scene...... There is a funeral here, and she gets married over there, and she can really do it. ”
At the edge of the courtyard, listening to the sounds coming from all over the courtyard from time to time, Lian Ge glanced at the people in the courtyard and the villagers, and through the open door of the hall, he looked at the filial sons and grandsons who were kneeling in front of the spirit, and withdrew his gaze.
On the side, the old man who had entered the mourning hall to offer incense walked back to the courtyard and stopped beside Lian Ge.
"Little sir, I've been waiting for a long time. The old man said politely to Lian Ge.
Lian Ge glanced at the old man, shook his head slightly, and withdrew his gaze,
"Old gentleman, this family that does white things and the village does happy things is a family?" Lian Ge asked in a calm tone as he looked at the villagers gathered around the courtyard.
"It's a family, and this man and Shigerin from the village are two brothers. The old man answered first, and then couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, "...... Brother-german. ”
As he spoke, the old man sighed,
“...... Today's funeral was held for the mother of their two brothers. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old man again.
“...... Little sir, the people in the village are not filial, so you can see the joke. The old man raised his head again, looked at Lian Ge and said.
Lian Ge shook his head when he heard this, and didn't say much.
......
As he spoke, the funeral ceremony in the hall came to an end for the time being, and several people kneeling in front of the spirit got up one after another and stepped out of the hall.
“...... Let's all sit down and eat first......"
The middle-aged man, who seemed to be from the main family, and the woman next to the courtyard before greeted people from all over the courtyard and took their seats in the banquet.
"Sir, let's sit down too. ”
The old man greeted Lian Ge and said loudly.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and sat down at the nearest dining table with the old man.
Soon, the dining table where Lian Ge and the old man were located was full of people.
The people in the village at the same table couldn't help but look at Lian Ge's fresh face, but no one asked out loud.
......
Glancing at the guests sitting at the table, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the table next to him.
At the table next to it, there was the old gentleman who presided over the funeral before, and the couple who were the main family.
Looking at these people, Lian Ge paused slightly,
The old gentleman looked to be past his old age, his eyebrows were white, his beard had not grown, and his loose skin had some age spots.
At this moment, he has taken off his robe, and his body is dressed like an ordinary old man.
There is no mana in the body, but he is not pretending to be mysterious, but he just follows the local customs and confesses some words to the main family.
The couple sat beside the old gentleman, dressed in plain clothes, and temporarily coiled the filial piety cloth around their heads.
“...... Although the old lady is gone, don't be too sad. After all, the old lady is old, and people have to go through this ...... after all."
The old gentleman looked at the couple and comforted,
“...... As for us living people, the most important thing is to live a good life, so that the old lady will not be worried and worried, isn't it?"
The couple listened to the words, a little silent, but nodded from time to time.
As he spoke, the old gentleman paused, looked at the man in the couple, and continued
"I know a little about your brothers...... But after all, your mother is also gone, I think, you still have to invite your brother, as for him not to come, it's his business, should you please or go and ask for it...... Let him come over, and send your mother too, so that your mother can feel more at ease under the Nine Springs,"
"Someone else is holding a wedding for his son, so how can he come over? When the man heard this, he replied lukewarmly.
When the old gentleman heard this, he shook his head slightly, and did not persuade again,
"What about this, you think about it again. The time of the burial is set for the morning after tomorrow, and when the funeral comes, if he is willing to come, let him hold the spiritual throne......"
Listening to the old gentleman's words, the man was silent and did not speak again.
......
"Little sir, let's eat too. ”
At the dining table, next to Lian Ge, the old man picked up his chopsticks and greeted.
Hearing this, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and nodded.
At the dining table, the rest of the people also picked up their chopsticks one after another and ate them.
After taking a bite of the chopsticks dish, Lian Ge turned his eyes to look at the old man, and asked in a calm tone,
"Sir, how did this old lady go?"
The words fell, and before the old man could answer, another villager at the dining table couldn't help but reply when he heard Lian Ge's words,
"Hey, I said that I died of illness, and I think I was angry to death. ”
When the words fell, the old man shook his head, sighed slightly, and continued to speak
“...... Because of the previous incident, the old lady was depressed and had been haunted by it. People slowly lose weight, which can be regarded as the end of depression. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't answer, waiting for the old man's next words,
“...... Last year, the brothers' father was in a car accident. The driver who caused the accident paid 200,000 yuan in compensation.
After this incident, before the father was buried, the daughter-in-law of the eldest one pouted and said that she wanted to share the money...... At first, the old lady disagreed, but then the eldest daughter-in-law said that her son was short of money for marriage, and the old lady felt sorry for her grandson, so she agreed. He took out 120,000 yuan, and gave it to the two brothers, and one of them took 60,000 yuan......
But the eldest daughter-in-law still didn't follow, she said that the old lady was partial...... said that the money left by the old lady would eventually be spent on this small one, so she didn't spare it, and wanted to divide the remaining 80,000 yuan. The old lady was angry and resolutely disagreed.
As a result, the eldest daughter-in-law ran to the old lady's house to sprinkle and made a big fuss...... The old lady was angry, so she directly donated the 80,000 yuan.
As a result, the eldest daughter-in-law went to the charity center to mess around and asked people to return all the money......"
