Li Yuqing went home to get the money, so she asked her younger brothers and sisters to wait at home, and she returned alone, not knowing how much it would cost to hold a funeral, Li Yuqing took ten taels of silver and handed it to the village chief.

The village chief took the money and was startled when he saw it, he thought that Li Yuqing would also take two taels of silver, and casually bought a thin coffin to bury Li Wang, because at the beginning, the village also collected more than two taels of silver to bury her father.

The village chief didn't expect Li Yuqing to be so generous, and he took out 10 taels of silver at once, afraid that Li Yuqing wouldn't know, so he hurriedly gave her the silver and said, "If you don't have so much, just a few taels of silver." ”

Li Yuqing was stunned for a moment, to be honest, she has been here for so long, she is not very clear about the real ancient silver coins, and she also followed the price of a modern coffin, converted into ancient silver taels.

"Is a few taels of silver enough," Li Yuqing said with a frown.

"Three or four taels is fine, and when I buried your father, it was almost so much money. The village chief didn't dare to say two or three or two, because he was afraid that he would have to pay out of his own pocket if the time came, and he didn't want to say too much, and it would not be good for Li Yuqing to know about it in the future.

said three or four taels, because the coffin of the better one is buried with the burial, and this is the number. If it is generalized, there will be some silver taels left at that time, and it can be cheaper.

Li Yuqing was a little surprised when she heard the village chief say this. Because she thinks that a person like the village chief should be very fond of money, but he doesn't want to give him 10 silver, as long as he can do things with a few taels of silver, she suddenly feels that he can actually get along with his heart.

In fact, she didn't know, in fact, the village chief had already calculated her, but the silver taels she had calculated, not a lot.

Thinking of what the village chief said, Li Wenxuan was buried at that time, that is, he hastily bought a thin coffin, so he had to carry it to the mountain casually and bury it beside Chen.

No matter what Li Wenxuan said, it is also her, the father of this body, Li Wang is not related to her, and there is still a little friction, no matter how rich she is, it is impossible to hold an irrelevant person's funeral more grandly than his father.

After careful consideration, Li Yuqing looked at the village chief and said, "Uncle village chief, do you think this is okay?" The 10 silver will be given to you first, you use four taels of silver to hold a funeral for Li Wang, and I will give you 10 silver for the rest, can you help me to put my father's and mother's graves together, build a tomb and build a monument, I can't honor them during my lifetime, and now I have some money, I want them to have a little face after death." ”

When the village chief heard Li Yuqing say this, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded and said, "Oh, okay, I don't know, how much silver taels it costs to build a tomb and build a monument, but the money you said you want to give must not be used up, and when the time comes, I will give it to you when I am done."

"No need for Uncle Village Chief, I don't know about this, just trouble you and the villagers in the village, and you can share the rest of the money with the people who help!

When the village chief heard Li Yuqing say this, his heart suddenly blossomed, and he forced a smile and said, "Kissing inside and outside, what's polite! I will definitely help you do it properly, you can rest assured." ”

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Village Chief"

"No trouble, no trouble," the village chief said with a smile and a wave of his hand, but he was telling the truth, because he didn't have to do anything to repair the tomb and build the monument.

He is only responsible for supervising the work, watching a group of people work over there, and he himself stands aside and watches, and he also has a sense of accomplishment in his heart, although he does not help him to do it, but he also watches and does it, and he has to listen to him in everything, he is like the head of the foreman.

After talking to the village chief, Li Yuqing went home, and in the afternoon he sent 10 silver, and took the silver sent by Li Yuqing, and the village chief greeted people in the village early the next morning and went to the town to buy a coffin, but only bought a coffin, because although he helped Li Wenxuan and Chen, it was just a coffin.

I went to other villages to buy bricks and order tombstones, and buried Li Wang in one day, and then the rest were busy helping, and the tomb of Li Wenxuan and Chen was completely completed in about a week.

Although Li Yuqing usually came to see the progress, he could only look at the general appearance, when it was completely done, Li Yuqing got the news, and looked at the tombstone in front of him and was very satisfied, high-end atmosphere, similar to that built by rich people.

Just when the reason was already secretly emotional, the village chief came to Li Yuqing at some point, and said with a slightly unnatural face, "Look at the rain, your father and your mother's, the tombstone has been built, and the remaining materials, can you also make one for your grandmother." ”

Li Yuqing was stunned for a moment, slapped her head suddenly, and then reacted, how could she forget that there was still a grandmother, and quickly said with a smile, "Uncle Village Chief, thank you for the reminder, if you don't say that I really forgot my grandma"

Hearing Li Yuqing's answer, the village chief's face became a little better, and he said with a smile, "I can't blame you, your grandmother died when you were young, and you didn't have time to see it when your father was sick, and it was normal to forget."

"Uncle Village Chief, where is my grandmother's grave?" Li Yuqing asked embarrassedly

After listening to Li Yuqing's words, the village chief's face changed again and became bad.

Looking at the village chief's obviously changed face, Li Yuqing explained embarrassedly, "That, Uncle Village Chief, didn't I break my head before? There are some things, you know this if you can't remember, so..."

The village chief, looking at Li Yuqing, sighed and said, "You are also a hard worker, come with me!"

Li Yuqing was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked the village chief, "Uncle village chief, why is my father's grave not built with my grandmother's grave?"

"Your grandmother died early, we buried her first, and then your mother died again, because it was a difficult birth, so I can't be buried with your grandmother, and then your father died again, because I am husband and wife with your mother, so I can only be with your mother"

Li Yuqing listened to the words of the village chief, and then suddenly realized.

Fortunately, my grandmother's grave is not too far from her father's grave.

The village chief took Li Yuqing to her grandmother's grave, probably because no one had taken care of it for a long time, and the grave was covered with weeds.

Thinking about it, she, the fake Li Yuqing, didn't know that there was a grandmother's grave here, and she hadn't heard Li Yuxin mention it, it should have been taken care of by Li Wenxuan before, but since Li Wenxuan fell ill, this place has almost been deserted.

Looking at the grave covered by wild grass, Li Yuqing felt sad inexplicably, and without the village chief saying anything, he knelt down and kowtowed 3 times, which was regarded as expressing deep apologies to the old man in the tomb for forgetting her for so long.

After kowtowing, Li Yuqing stood up, walked to the tombstone, and rubbed the words engraved on the tombstone, although it was also engraved on the stone tablet at that time, but after so many years, the words on it were blurred after the washing of the wind and rain, and a few words could be vaguely seen, "Zhao what, what Li what, what tomb?"

Li Yuqing touched the unicorn jade pendant hanging on her chest through her clothes, this jade pendant belonged to Li Wenxuan, but the name engraved on it was Zhao Wenxuan.

Li Yuqing guessed that Zhao should be the name of Li Yuqing's grandmother's husband's family, and Li should be Li Yuqing's grandmother's original surname, but unfortunately too much time has passed, the person concerned has died, and the handwriting left on the tombstone has no way to confirm it by words because of the corrosion of time.
