Chapter 36: The Wake of the Spirit

At the end of the day, it was very smooth. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info coffin is to be placed at home for seven days, the coffin will be sealed on the third day, and buried on the seventh day. The people of the village and the tribe were to come and worship during these seven days, and the first two days were the most crowded. If the first day goes well, it means that the next few days will be smooth.

The people in the clan have a lot of complaints about Li Xiao's funeral and going to buy a coffin. But seeing that Li Xiao bought a good coffin, those who had opinions also shut up. Some people waited for the elders of the clan to ask questions, and waited to see the excitement. The old lady was both relieved and worried when she saw the coffin, she knew how much money the old man had spent on his illness and how much money was left in the house.

In the evening, after the people of the village dispersed. The patriarch of the Li family came over. The old patriarch's generation is higher than Li Shan's generation, so he will not appear here on such a day.

The grandsons of the Li Shan family are all keeping filial piety in the mourning hall, and Siya and Zhang Cheng went to the younger brother's room. Xiulan and Sanniang went to the kitchen to cook the night's food.

The old lady invited Patriarch Li to sit inside. The old lady saw the patriarch sit down and said, "The girl in the filial piety suit, the old brother has seen it." Presumably my brother is here for her." The patriarch nodded.

The old lady saluted and said, "The old man has a last word before he dies, and this matter will have to trouble the old brother."

Patriarch Li replied, "Brother and sister, please speak."

The old lady said: "That's the fifth girl in my family, the one that was passed from the second room to the big room before." Before the old man died, he was divided into three rooms. When she grew up and recruited a son-in-law, she was divided into three rooms. Now she is in charge of our Li Shan family in the name of the third room. After recruiting a son-in-law, whether the big house and the second room are going to be separated or how to look at their brothers". The old lady looked at the patriarch with a bad face. In fact, she also understands that their family is not without grandchildren. It's shameless to say such a thing. Even those who don't have a male in the family will only pass on their stepsons from the clan to support their deaths. I have never seen a son and grandson like theirs, and let their granddaughter recruit and support a room.

The old lady looked at Village Chief Li and said, "This is Li Shan's last words, I will do it no matter what." If it weren't for his unfulfilled wish, I would have gone with him."

Patriarch Li was shocked, this was a threat to him. It means that if you don't do what Li Shan's last words are. This old brother and sister won't be alive. Patriarch Li comforted: "This has never happened in our Li family, I can't make the decision to promise you, I need to go back and discuss it with my father and other clan uncles."

The old lady nodded, and Patriarch Li went out to leave.

Siya and Zhang Cheng went to the younger brother's room. The younger brother asked Siya to sit on the bed.

Siya asked, "Does my sister know what's going on with my fifth sister?" Zhang Laidi looked at the two of them and said the old man's last words. Siya and Zhang Chengcheng, who were listening, opened their mouths wide.

Seeing their expressions, the younger brother added: "At that time, my grandfather was very sober, and he also said that the Li family owed the fifth sister. You have also seen today's situation, thanks to the fifth sister who is in charge. Otherwise, I don't know what the mess will be. You don't know, at that time, the whole family was kneeling on the ground crying, grandma hugged grandpa crying, and the house was a mess, and I was stupid. If it weren't for the fifth sister, grandpa might not even be able to wear clothes. It was the fifth sister who asked everyone to be quiet, and then arranged the rest of the matter."

Siya was afraid for a while when she heard this, although the Li family is not a big family, but there are also people who can't get along with the Li Shan family. If this is a joke, it will be a big deal for the Li Shan family. When it is passed out, the marriage of younger brothers is the top priority.

Siya said: "Uncle and father just left home, and the family has become like this. Now that grandpa is gone, what will the family do in the future? Siya cried as she spoke. Zhang Cheng hurriedly comforted: "You are worried indiscriminately, now that the fifth sister in the family is in charge, you see that this day will not go well." The fifth sister will still make money, and with our help, what are you worried about. Siya listened and wiped her tears and nodded. Zhang Cheng thought in his heart, Boss Li, I will help you more now, you must remember me in the future.

The younger brother said: "The fifth sister said, let you live in her house tonight, she has food in the house, you can go to sleep quickly after eating, it will take several days." ”

Zhang Cheng and Siya nodded and went out and went to Li's small room.

In Li's room, a basket was placed on the small table on the bed, with a plate of steamed buns and a bowl of broth. This was prepared by Li Xiao and Xiulan. Hot water was warm on the stove in the outhouse. When Zhang Cheng saw it, he said to Siya: "Your sister really loves you, such a big bowl of broth." There is also hot water. You sit down and drink a cup of hot water, and I'll warm the broth." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng poured a glass of water for Siya, and put the broth on the stove to warm it. I took a steamed bun and stuffed it in my mouth. Zhang Cheng and Siya rested after eating.

Li Xiaohe, Sanwang, Sixi, and Wufu knelt in the mourning hall. Li Xiao asked Xiulan to cook a lot of broth and porridge. There can be no descendants of the Li family in the mourning hall, so two people can only go to eat in two people. Li Xiao asked Sixi to take Wufu to eat first. She and Sanwang kept the spirit.

Sanwang asked Li Xiao: "Fifth sister, do you really want to succeed to the third room and take charge of the family?" How could Grandpa think of letting you support your family, you're only ten years old. “

Li Xiao replied: "Third brother, do you think if I regret it now, will my grandfather jump out and scold me for not being a filial son." And then beat you up? “

Sanwang was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Grandpa, I didn't let the fifth sister be in charge, I just asked."

Li Xiao watched Sanwang's movements, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Sixi came back with Wufu for dinner, and Sanwang and Li Xiao went to eat.

After eating, the four of them continued to kneel, occasionally burning some paper money.

Wufu saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said: "Fifth sister, my mother said that you can't be in charge, and our family will give it to the fourth brother in the future."

Li Xiao said sternly: "Fifth brother, this should not come out of your mouth, even if the second aunt said it in front of you, you must know what to say and what not to say." You're nine years old, not a kid anymore. From now on, I will be a housekeeper, and you will remember clearly what should be done and what should not be done. ”

Wufu was unconvinced and said: "Fifth sister, you are not qualified to say me, you still live in my house."

Li Xiao got up angrily, pulled up Wufu and walked outside the spirit shed. As he walked, he said, "Third brother, fourth brother, you keep guard, we'll come over later." Wufu couldn't struggle, and shouted: "You let go of me, you let go of me." ”

Li Xiao dragged Wufu to the gate, and threw Wufu to the ground, and Wufu let out a sigh. Li Xiao grabbed Wufu's collar and beat him. While beating, he said: "Shut up for me, I'll beat you up if you cry". Wufu didn't dare to cry when he was beaten, and looked at Li Xiao in horror.

Li Xiao said: "Look at it, you don't know me, I don't want to deal with you on weekdays." But now I'm a housekeeper, and you're pretending to be like a human being. In the second half of the night, I will let you go to sleep with the fourth brother, remember to ask the fourth brother, what kind of person I am, and how to get along with me in the future. Then he dragged him back to the shed.
