Chapter 190: Funeral
Xia Xuege's raspberry wine is quite smooth, the movement is not small, many people in the village also pick raspberries, but they don't know how to make wine, that is, eat some, Xia Xuege is filtered and sweetened, but it can be regarded as busy work, just waiting for the wine to ferment by itself, and after the busy work here, Xia Zijun will come over there.
"Xue Ge, where is your father?"
Xia Zijun's face was anxious because the old lady Meng almost saw people, and the Meng family posted it up, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, he and Xia Ziqiu both put it down and ran away, no way, it was too scary, the old house over there, I couldn't drive it away, then the old lady Meng had to say that she wanted to take care of the Liang family, and stayed here for half a month, the Liang family was originally frightened by Xia Xuege, and was frightened by an old lady Meng who looked like a real ghost, and she was lying on the kang for half a month!
"Fourth uncle, my father went to the county to see the second uncle, and he left early this morning, is there something wrong? Tell me and my mother to be ......."
Xia Xuege said, Xia Zijun sighed......
"Alas, it's not a good thing, don't let your mother know, it's nothing else, it's that the old lady Meng died, died in the old mansion!"
Xia Zijun said, with a look of lawsuit, Xia Xuege was also stunned, Mrs. Meng is dead?
This person is old, very old, and his spirit is not as good as before, especially when he looks like Mrs. Meng, he rarely goes out, that is, he goes out to chat, and he will not live in someone else's house, and it is very unlucky to die in someone else's house!
Mrs. Meng is simply wonderful, she is going to die, and she is still living in the old mansion, and this stay is half a month. It's not surprising to die in an old mansion!
"Then Fourth Uncle, what are you going to do over there? We should have to get Mrs. Meng back to Erdaogou! β
Xia Xuege asked, this is common sense, but I am afraid that the Meng family will not play cards according to common sense!
Xia Xuege said this, Xia Zijun was going to die helplessly!
"What to move back, it's going to be messed up over there, I just want to tell you, don't let your father go over there, this time it's really incurable! That old Meng's family. I have to say that Mrs. Meng is tired of serving your milk. If you want to put the mourning hall in the old house, you have to rely on it there! β
"What?"
Xia Xuege's jaw dropped in shock, this is too ...... Need...... Absolutely superb...... How can there be such a person? But thinking. Xia Xuege was afraid for a while. The old lady Meng was supported by the Meng family and came to his house several times, but the door was always closed. They didn't come in, Xia Zijun didn't go there at all, and now they want to come......
Meng's pit, you didn't have any good ideas at the beginning, let Mrs. Meng come, that is, because Mrs. Meng can't live long, so let people come, died in the old house, this Liang is sick again, just say to take care of Liang, Liang's hands, at least three hundred taels of silver from the Xia family, this is a huge amount of money, Meng must be caught, and Xia Ziqiu's family, three hundred taels of silver is absolutely there, but not cash silver, if it is cash silver, there are seventy or eighty taels of silver at home, but the shop and inn are definitely more than three hundred taels, So the Meng family planned to have two ends and one pit at the beginning, Xia Zijun, although there was an entry, but there was not much silver, far less than the old house, so the Meng family simply chose the old house!
And Xia Zijun and Xia Xuege were worried, Meng Qingtang came over there, and he also brought a white cloth on his head, this is to put on linen and filial piety for Mrs. Meng in Xiajia Village? Xia Xuege has a black line.
"Yo, the fourth brother is here, Xue Ge's niece, where is your father?"
Meng Qingtang said, with a sad face, but Xia Xuege couldn't see where Meng Qingtang's sadness was, and said:
"My father went to the county seat to run errands, and if you have something to tell me, it will be ......"
Xia Xuege said, Meng Qingtang was about to go to the house, but Xia Zijun hurriedly stopped him.
"Meng family, what are you doing, the third sister-in-law is pregnant, what house do you enter wearing linen and filial piety, what if you collide!"
Xia Zijun said, Xia Xuege also had a lot of opinions about Meng Qingtang, Meng Qingtang didn't know about this rule, and Xia Zijun said:
"Meng Qingtang. It's not about you, I don't want to call you a brother, do you hate my third brother, you didn't steal my third brother's bud last time, you want to kill my third brother's child this time, are you, our family is a bully, believe it or not, I'll beat you out! β
Xia Zijun said that he was going to fight with his arms and sleeves, Meng Qingtang's eyes flickered, and he immediately said:
"Fourth, you misunderstood, that is, my mother is gone, sue the third sister-in-law, ......"
"Sue sΓΉ third sister-in-law? What does your mother have to do with your third sister-in-law? Let's go! β
Xia Zijun said that he pushed Meng Qingtang out, Xia Xuege could think of the old Meng family's idea, not to mention that he had cheated countless times before, and Xia Zijun was also disgusted with Meng Qingtang and the old Meng family! He hated the Liang family and Old Man Xia for killing his son, but this was an internal contradiction in their Xia family, but Meng Qingtang was such a slanderer, they couldn't agree!
Xia Xuege also responded to Xia Zijun's words:
"Fourth uncle, my family is not here, come to Fu Lai, invite the people of the Meng family out, fourth uncle, the old mansion is ...... I don't want to go, that old lady, I'm afraid of him if he lives, and I won't go when he dies, my mother has a body, and I can't go. β
Xia Xuege said, Laifu Laicai also came, just now in the backyard, they were busy feeding the quails, and when they heard the voice coming, they didn't know what the situation was, so they didn't get started, now Xia Xuege ordered, and came over immediately, the two brothers had a lot of strength, pushed Meng Qingtang out, and went out directly!
"Fourth uncle, I don't think you should go, the fourth aunt is going to give birth, but don't rush!"
Xia Xuege said, and Xia Zijun also nodded.
"Just let the neighbor give two dollars to the old house, the relative is dead, it's our fault not to go, but we both have people with bodies, and if we can't go, no one will say anything, just send the money!"
After speaking, Xia Zijun left, this is really, it's not easy, the old mansion has stopped, and this thing happened again!
Xia Xuege wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Xia Ziqiu and Xia Zixia, Xia Zixia was sick, Xia Ziqiu went to visit, and he couldn't come back for a while, and the old mansion was busy now, Xia Xuege didn't care, it was not his own family's business, and there was Su Meihe, Meng's idea, obviously didn't tell Su Meihe, the Meng family was a dog skin plaster, and he had to drink blood and suck the marrow in the old house, and Su Meihe would never let it, Meng's is a good idea, let the big house hold Old Man Xia and Liang's, It's a pity that I didn't take into account Meng Qingtang's bastard!
There are people with bodies in the three rooms and four rooms, it is normal not to look at them, and the money of the two families has also been delivered, so no one has said anything, but this mourning hall is placed in the old mansion of the Xia family at the head of the village, but it is really lively!
"Alas, really, the house is restless, and everything is in a panic!"
Zhou Yuanchun sighed, everyone in the house sat together to be a female celebrity, Aunt Qing and Yu Jie were also there, when they were free, the two families were still very diligent in moving around, and even if Xia Zijun and Xia Ziqiu didn't go, but this matter was all over the village, and it was also panicked!
"Yes, there was a panic, the fifth uncle hid back to the county seat, saying that he was going to live in the same classmate's house, who knows where he went, but it won't be a few days, Erlang's sister-in-law quarreled with Meng Qingtang's daughter-in-law today, and Meng Qingtang's family seems to have moved to the old house!"
Xia Xuege said, making a little puppet with flying needles in her hand, Zhou Yuanchun was in her belly, but her first brother and sister, Xia Ziqiu was a man and a woman who didn't care about children, they all liked it, which made Zhou Yuanchun not have much psychological pressure, and when Xia Xuege said that Meng Qingtang's family lived in the old house, Aunt Qing nodded!
"It's not, even the old man came, the old man is no better, it's about the same as the old lady, the old man wants to save face, and his head is big!"
"The old four's vacant house was occupied by the old Meng family, in the past two days, eating, drinking, and Lazar, all of them were paid by the old house, and the people were full of confidence, what did the old lady say about the death of the old lady of the Xia family, there was something to say, the silver, it would be several times a day, and what were you buying a coffin for, the old man and the old lady didn't give it, so they cried!"
Aunt Qing said, and everyone in the room sighed, really, there is nothing to do when you are idle! However, Xia Xuege is confident that Su Meihe's combat effectiveness should be able to be solved, but he is a ruthless person who fights!
"But I heard that Erlang's daughter-in-law was clamoring to split up the family, and asked for a shop in the town, but the old man said that it was left for the fourth child, so he didn't give it, and Erlang's daughter-in-law made a big fuss, saying that the old man wanted to lose face and didn't recognize his own flesh and blood, so she gave the shop to the fourth child, and she also went to the fourth child's house to make peace, and was driven out by the fourth child!"
Aunt Qing said, everyone has a black line, but also, Su Meihe did this thing, Aunt Qing hasn't finished talking yet!
"Not only that, but also at the door of the fourth house, saying that the fourth child is not the Xia family's own son, and he wants the Xia family's money, the fourth child went to the old house and said not to shop, and the old man said that the promise he gave at the beginning would not be counted, and several people quarreled in the old house again! Anyway, no one grabbed that shop in the end! β
Aunt Qing said, everyone shook their heads, the good life process is like this, and the old house is also a wonder!
"Forget it, don't talk about this, it's annoying to hear it, let's talk about something else, by the way, auntie, do you know what's interesting lately?"
Xia Xuege asked, it was better to say something fun, and after listening to it, Yu Jie smiled.
"Yes, I heard that in June, the county is going to hold a lantern festival, I have thought about it, go with my father, Xuege, you can come too!"
Yu Jie smiled, Xia Xuege nodded, yes, I haven't been out to play for a long time!
The lantern festival is an annual event in the county, I heard that many people go, and there are flower boats or something, it is very lively, if these are in modern times, they can make headlines, but Xia Xuege has never seen it once! (To be continued......)
