Chapter 59: Something Happened Suddenly
However, things changed before Chen Xin could figure out a solution.
Yan Chunhua received a call from home saying that her cousin had left the hospital. At that time, Yan Chunhua sat down paralyzed, unable to cry for a long time.
This cousin is very pitiful, and Yan Chunhua will help when he is free, so he is actually very distressed by this eldest brother who is only two or three years old. She has saved money over the years, and will buy clothes and candy for her younger brother during the Chinese New Year. Now people say that there is no more, and she can't accept it for a while.
The call was answered at the village chief's house, and when Yan Chunhua sat down, the village chief's wife was frightened, thinking that something terrible had happened in Yan Chunhua's family, so she hurriedly asked her son to call the Zhang family over.
Chen Xin was packing her luggage and planning to take Zhang Zhang back in the next two days, when she heard Yan Chunhua answer a phone call, she almost fainted, and she guessed in her heart that her eldest cousin was gone.
When I asked, it was true. Yan Chunhua's mother said that because her cousin died young, according to their customs and rules, such a big child could not erect a monument, so she found a random piece of ground on the slope of her hometown to bury.
Yan Chunhua's mother didn't want her daughter to complain about her in the future, and told the Zhang family to help her persuade Yan Chunhua not to rush back.
"She is a cousin, and she is an unmarried girl, so she didn't have to rush back to mourn her cousin. Her uncle also means this, the family doesn't go, just bury it. ”
"What about my aunt? What did she say?"
Yan Chunhua suddenly snatched the microphone from Chen Xin's hand and asked her mother vigorously. Yan Chunhua's aunt's affection for her eldest son is the deepest in the family, and the death of her son basically took half of the woman's life, if she didn't have a little daughter, she probably followed her son directly.
"Chunhua, don't come back, you know? If you rush back, what can you do with your uncle's house? They just want to take care of things while your aunt is still in the hospital, and if you come back, your aunt will make a fuss and your grandma should talk again.
Originally, because of this grandson's matter, the old couple blamed the younger daughter-in-law, and over the years, they have mostly lived in the eldest son's family, that is, Yan Chunhua's house, and the two daughters have taken turns to live. Now that it's finally dragged down, they're not welcome to make trouble again.
"My grandmother is so ruthless?" Yan Chunhua choked up so much that he couldn't speak, "That's also their grandson, can't you let the eldest brother be buried next to the ancestral grave?"
Yan Chunhua's mother hung up her phone directly, which made Yan Chunhua cry for a while.
"Actually, this child who died young really can't go to the ancestral grave. The village chief's wife, who listened for a long time, couldn't hold back, "You girls' families don't think so, but you have to consider your brother." If it is really hit, who should be responsible for this? ”
Yan Chunhua pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak, only lowered his head a little aggrieved and gloomily, and went out with the door.
Zhang Debing was still taking care of the bamboo rats on the slope, and he didn't know that Yan Chunhua was crying here. The second sister has a big belly, and she sees that she is about to give birth in half a month, and her legs and feet are so swollen these days that she can only walk around in the yard, leaning against the door and waiting for them to go back.
Seeing Yan Chunhua coming back with red eyes, the second sister wanted to ask, but before she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Chen Xin's eyes.
"Chunhua, take a good rest, don't think too much. Now that it's like this, you want to think that he can be considered liberated, isn't it? Suffer less, maybe you can switch to a good baby in the next life and live a happy life. ”
Yan Chunhua nodded indiscriminately, saying that she wanted to be alone and quiet.
Chen Xin helped her wring a towel to wipe her face, and then closed the door with her hand, and then went to the courtyard to whisper to the second sister.
"You mean her eldest brother is gone? What a person, how can you say that if you don't, it's gone. ”
Chen Xin quietly told the second sister what she knew, and also told her classmates' guesses, it is estimated that it was the children in the village who made Yan Chunhua's eldest brother fall down the hill because they were joking and not being measured.
"Why are these children so ruthless? "Because the second sister is pregnant with a baby, her heart is soft, and she can't imagine that someone can bully a disabled child so viciously.
Chen Xin also felt that those children were too much, and more importantly, those children were completely unaware of the mistake of doing so, and a fresh life was lost because of their excessive actions. I don't know if those children will have a little regret in their hearts.
More than an hour later, Brother Zhang came back, and he asked casually without seeing Yan Chunhua. After learning about her family's situation, her brows furrowed, and she hesitated to comfort the other party.
Before he could think about it, Yan Chunhua opened the door.
"I'm sorry, I want to leave early. Yan Chunhua put away all the luggage, she sniffed, her voice hoarse, "No matter what, I should go to see my brother off for the last time, wait for his first seven, if you still need my help, I'll come back." ”
"Can you buy a ticket if you go now?" The second sister didn't care about anything else, she was only worried about what Yan Chunhua would do if she couldn't buy a train ticket.
"I should be able to buy that car, but if it doesn't work, I'll find a way to get on the bus first and then make up the ticket. ”
"Wait, I'll ask Sister Jia if she can help buy one. ”
There is a train ticket sales point in the town, which is next to the government, and Sister Jia will walk a few steps to ask.
After asking, there was really only a standing ticket, Yan Chunhua bought one without hesitation, and asked Sister Jia to help her pay in advance, and return it to her when she went down the mountain to get the ticket.
"If you want to go, you have to hurry, there is no agricultural vehicle to go up the mountain to deliver things today, you can only go down the mountain to catch the car, and it will take more than half an hour to walk." I still have to get a ticket, and I have to go to the train station in the county, and the time is very tight. ”
The second sister quickly went to the kitchen and stuffed Yan Chunhua with some dry food and pickles and hot sauce, and asked her to deal with two meals in the car.
"Give us a call when you're done with the matter. In addition to our family's farm, the Xiao family in Linshan Village next door also plans to get one, and they were still telling me yesterday that if the loan is approved, let me help them discuss with you to help, so don't think too much, things are still waiting for you here. ”
The second sister didn't tell her any other words of comfort, but only told her to remember to go early and return early.
Brother Zhang wanted to give her away, but the family farm was inseparable, and he could still exchange with Yan Chunhua before, but now the second sister is bulky and can't do it, and Chen Xin can't do it, and the only people who can use it at home are him and Grandpa Zhang, so there is really no way to send her.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've gone out alone, I've walked this road several times, and it's going to be fine. ”
"Okay, give me a call when you get to Sister Jia, and don't drag you on the other words, let's leave quickly." ”
