Jiang Qiying suffered from illness for a period of time, and he was not peaceful when he left.

Before Jiang Ruo came, all the life-sustaining medical equipment on his body had been removed, and the effect of those tubes was only to make him live a few more seconds in this world with his mouth open and painful and undignified.

Jiang Ruo stayed by the bedside, watching him start from the time his eyes became cloudy, his life gradually passed, and his half-open mouth exhaled from time to time, looking very difficult.

Liu Ming and Gao Sui also came in. Liu Ming sat on the sofa opposite the end of the bed, while Gao Sui stood on the edge of the bed and looked down. There was a dead silence in the ward, and everyone was waiting for that moment to come.

Jiang Ruo was afraid, but forced himself to stare at the pale yellow face motionlessly.

Her bag was set aside, and she didn't notice that her phone was vibrating inside.

It was Uncle Ming who heard the buzzing vibration first, alerting her that there was a phone.

The call was made by Lu Huaishen, and Jiang Ruo went to the corridor outside the ward to answer it.

"You went to the hospital?"

"Yes. Jiang Ruo curled his knuckles and pushed his eyebrows, and he didn't have time to think about how Lu Huaishen knew.

Lu Huaishen was silent for a moment: "I'll wait here." ”

"Good. ”

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Ruo found that Lu Huaishen had called her twice before, but she didn't receive it.

Death is not an easy thing to relieve, and I don't know how the person who is experiencing death feels, at least the people who are on the sidelines are not comfortable.

Cheng Dong died, and the only time Jiang Ruo saw him after rushing back was before the cremation, when the funeral home staff unzipped the white body bag to show the family the remains of the deceased for the last time.

Today was the first time she had witnessed the death of a loved one.

Time passed slowly, just after nine o'clock, Jiang Qiying swallowed his last breath, just as Lu Huaishen pushed the door in, and the alarm of ECG monitoring was like a long mournful roar.

Lu Huaishen's footsteps paused slightly, and then walked behind Jiang Ruo, his hand on the trembling slender shoulder.

The medical staff had been waiting for a long time, and after the heartbeat stopped, they removed the patch of the ECG monitor on Jiang Qiying's body, and were about to send the deceased to the morgue for temporary parking.

"Families, please mourn. ”

Jiang Ru didn't speak, and still held Jiang Qiying's hand.

Lu Huaishen broke her fingers one by one, the old man still had residual warmth, and when Jiang Ruo let go of the last finger, he quickly stood up, turned around and hugged Lu Huaishen's waist, and no longer looked at that scene.

Lu Huaishen lowered her head for a moment, only to find that her lips were biting and rushing to blood in order to hold back her crying.

The medical staff asked, "Has the family contacted the funeral home?"

Willow said, "It's been contacted." ”

Jiang Ruo was suffocated when she heard it, and she listened to them exchange some aftermath matters, but she didn't hear it too clearly.

Lu Huaishen followed her back and couldn't bear to say: "If you want to cry, cry out." ”

Jiang Ruo shook his head vigorously. There is a custom in her hometown that after the elders have just left, especially the elders who are old and dying, relatives must not cry, otherwise the deceased will not be able to go to Bliss.

Until Jiang Qiying's body was pushed out of the ward and sent to the morgue, Jiang Ruo couldn't stop trembling because of grief.

Now there are not many people who can help deal with the aftermath, so Jiang Ruo has to pack up his emotions and contact the immediate relatives of the Jiang family and his grandfather's close old friends to report the funeral in the chaos.

Some of the calls had to be made by her in person.

It wasn't too late, Jiang Ruo made a few phone calls with red eyes, and after the other party heard it, he would say "mourning" with regret.

Soon after, someone from the funeral home came to take away the body, and the process of stopping the funeral will be carried out at the funeral home.

In fact, Liu Ming has already booked it before, but he will still ask Jiang Ruo's opinion, so the procedure must be the best, right?

Jiang Ruo nodded: "Of course it should be the best." ”

The funeral home set up the mourning hall overnight, Liu Ming remembered that she was pregnant with a child, and asked her not to keep a vigil, and the environment there was not good, so let her go home and rest for the night.

Jiang Ruo refused, "I have to keep the first night." ”

Lu Huaishen knew what she thought, Jiang Qiying had such a direct granddaughter as her in her name, if she didn't keep the spirit, it would be equivalent to no one to send her to the end. Lu Huaishen didn't force her, even if she was escorted to the bed to lie down, she probably wouldn't be able to close her eyes tonight. So he went with her to the vigil.

Gao Sui was going to court the next day and left directly from the hospital.

This night until dawn, Jiang Ruo was not sleepy, as soon as the day dawned, Liu Ming asked her to go back and rest for a while.

Jiang Ruo said, "Why don't I call the distant relatives of the Jiang family first." ”

Liu Ming said okay.

Jiang Ruo was responsible for calling the distant relatives of the Jiang family, and Liu Ming was responsible for informing those politicians and businessmen who had a business relationship with Jiang Qiying.

Jiang Qiying has met many people in his life, and Liu Ming is the most trusted person around him, and most people have an impression when they hear Liu Ming report his home.

On the three days of the funeral, a large memorial service will be held the day before the cremation.

Jiang Ruo's body couldn't stand up, except for the first day of the whole night, after that, he kept the first half of the night, went home to sleep in the second half of the night, and came over the next morning to exchange with Uncle Ming.

Although Jiang Qiying has no children under his knees, he has several brothers and sisters, and several nephews and nephews and daughters-in-law who have been taken care of by him will come over.

Speaking of which, Uncle Ming asked Jiang Ruo on the first night if he wanted to inform Jiang Weiming that they were coming.

Jiang Ruo didn't lift his eyes, and said while putting filial piety on his arm: "No, the Jiang family has many connections, and it won't be long before they know that they can come, and if they don't want to come, forget it." ”

Liu Ming responded and didn't say anything more.

Lu Huaishen, as his grandson-in-law, also notified the Lu family.

Jiang Ruo went back to sleep the next day and came over in the afternoon, Lu Qingshi and Ji Lanzhi first brought a pair of children to take a look, Jiang Ruo stepped forward to thank the people, his eyes flickered, but he saw Jiang Weiming and Jiang Zhouman sitting on the side, and immediately turned his eyes away.

In front of the guests who came to mourn, they also treated them as air, and they disdained the communication on the surface, which made Jiang Weiming, who talked to Jiang Ruo, very embarrassed.

Jiang Zhouman was very angry, and wanted to talk to her when Jiang Ruo was alone, but Lu Huai stayed by her side and never left.

After Lu Huaishen and Jiang Ruo went to see Lu Qingshi's family leave, when they came back, Jiang Ruo was the only one, Jiang Zhouman seized the opportunity to step forward, frowned and asked her: "Grandpa died, why didn't you tell us the first time?"

Jiang Ruo's eyes swept over her face indifferently, and he said unceremoniously: "Why do you want to tell you? Didn't you call the great name before, what kind of filial son and grandson are you pretending to be now?"

Jiang Zhouman was dumbfounded, unhappy in her heart, thinking that what she said was the truth, if she refuted it, it would be hypocrisy.

She came down and said: "No matter what our relationship was before, after all, it is a matter of life and death, and we all have the right to know." ”

Jiang Ruo looked at the direction of the door, looked at her when he heard the words, and suddenly laughed: "What is the right? You have no blood relationship with your grandfather, if you want to talk to me about any nurturing grace, then you are really not ashamed." ”

Jiang Zhouman was extremely angry and glared at her angrily.

Jiang Ruo said coldly: "Look at what, don't think that I don't know that your family is secretly happy in your heart." Grandpa is gone, the things you did before that stealing chickens and dogs, finally one less person knows, and there is no need to fight the lawsuit, it saves more trouble, and you can sleep well at night, right?"

Jiang Zhouman was looked empty by her stabbing eyes, because she didn't deny that she really thought so in her heart.

Jiang Ruo had already seen through it, and he didn't look at her, "Since you want to come to guard the spirit and show it to outsiders, then you will be guarded in peace, and I won't drive you out, just don't come to me to scream, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless in front of many relatives and friends." ”

Jiang Zhouman had a big belly, and he could always attract more or less inquiring eyes, and Jiang Zhouman didn't dare to argue with her face-to-face, but lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Since you say the same, then don't embarrass my dad in front of outsiders." ”

Jiang Ruo stared at her coldly: "Do you still have to cooperate with you to make a show?" Then I advise you to get out as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Zhouman gritted her teeth and was about to return the favor, when she caught a glimpse of Lu Huaishen walking in, she whispered: "Have you read the contract? Did grandpa tell you about that before he died?"

Jiang Ruo glanced at her with slanted eyes, Jiang Zhouman left a meaningful look, and before Lu Huaishen came over, he turned around and left.

Lu Huaishen walked up to her, frowned and glanced at Jiang Zhouman's whereabouts, and asked, "What did she tell you?"

Jiang Ruo said indifferently: "It's nothing, she's crazy." ”

In the next two days, Jiang Ji also came, Jiang Ruo didn't say a word to the three of them, Jiang Weiming didn't talk to her in front of people with a shy face, but ushered in a wave of "Wangjie mourning" comfort, and at this time, Jiang Weiming pretended to sigh.

Jiang Ruo trembled with anger, and every time he wanted to sweep this person out with a broom.

On the third day, a memorial service was held at the funeral home, and among the many visitors, there were many leaders from the political and business circles. The pomp and circumstance of the memorial ceremony is also worthy of Jiang Qiying's most magnificent status during his lifetime.

After being cremated the next morning, the ashes were sent to the cemetery for burial.

The cemetery was bought by Jiang Qiying for himself before the accident, and he invited someone to see the feng shui and chose the best place, which is said to be the descendants of the Wang family.

There were far fewer people coming to the funeral than at the memorial service, and after the funeral was completed, everyone walked down the mountain.

Liu Ming booked a hotel, and relatives and friends were going to go over for dinner together for a while.

The road was very long, and the steps seemed to be endless, Lu Huaishen held her hand and walked down step by step, reminding her not to look back.

On the way, I met other funeral processions, and some people choked up and sighed: "From now on, there will be one less person in the world." ”

Jiang Ruo's tears fell almost instantly, this time she couldn't bear it anymore, and gradually cried silently.

Lu Huaishen stopped when he heard the sound, wiped away the endless tears for her in distress, and finally had to take her into his arms and stand under the evergreen tree on the side.

Jiang Ruo was tired from crying, so he slowly slowed down.

Jiang Ruo was without makeup, and she had been dealing with miscellaneous things for several days, plus sadness, her face was very haggard, the weather was dry, and her lips were skinned.

Jiang Ruo leaned into Lu Huaishen's arms and said in a dumb voice: "I am the only one in the Jiang family." ”

Grandpa, parents, brother, all gone. A family based on blood, from now on, there is really only her.

Lu Huaishen hugged her tightly and made her feel herself, "You still have me." ”

Jiang Ruo did not respond.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, don't let them wait too long." ”
