Chapter 9: What Happens After the Dead

When Fu's sister-in-law wore linen and wore filial piety, she returned to the village with the urn of Brother Jifu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The villagers have exploded, and they are all descendants who wear linen and filial piety to their deceased elders, how can they wear filial piety clothes and white cloth for their dead husbands? This woman is so unteachable, it's just nonsense!

Sister-in-law Fu ignored the criticism of others, and forced herself to complete the funeral of her own man, strictly speaking, it was just a funeral, no ceremony.

According to the funeral customs on their side, the deceased should stay at home for three days, put on a longevity coat, build a funeral tent and lie on the mourning bed to receive condolences and worship from their children and grandchildren, and bring food and soul-attracting flags three times a day to send their souls away.

The mourners should walk from the door of their homes to the cemetery where the deceased is buried, burning paper money and scattering food as they walk, and holding the soul-attracting banner is usually the son or grandson of the deceased, calling out to their relatives to go west, guiding their deceased relatives to the Western Elysium.

Although Brother Wu is a good person outside, his brothers and relatives don't have much contact with him because he abandoned his wife and married his sister-in-law, and no one came to mourn. Simply found a few people, carried the coffin, dug the pit and buried it. In addition, now the cemetery is planned in the village in a unified manner, and it is not allowed to bury it privately, so people are pulled to the crematorium to be replaced with an urn and buried in a pit to erect a tombstone.

Let you live and then turn the clouds and rain, if you die, how many people can be really sad and sad? Crying and grieving, there is only one sister-in-law Jifu. Isn't it too bleak for a funeral with only one man's cry?

Brother Jifu's two sons, Wu Cai, Wu Wen, let alone raising flags to attract his soul, he didn't even bother to knock his head or burn the paper money. However, he was ruthless and black-hearted with Jifu's sister-in-law everywhere, and he swallowed Old Man Wu's compensation alone. He also threatened to go to the court to sue for his own share, saying that they were the sons of Old Man Wu and had the right to inherit their father's property.

Jifu's sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in front of the neighbors, she viciously spat them in the face: "Each of you kneels in front of your father's statue for a day, and then carries the statue around the village for two days, you don't have to go to court, I will give you half of the compensation!" A dog with no conscience, your father may be sorry for your mother, but you are absolutely right, you are not even willing to burn a piece of paper money for your father, and you dare to come to me and ask me for the money that your father exchanged for his life? Shameless, three indiscriminate. Don't even think about it, the old lady just burned the money as paper and won't give it to you! ”

probably saw the pungency of Fu's sister-in-law's gritted teeth and consciously took care of it, and with the persuasion of their mother, who is the ex-wife of Brother Jifu, they didn't ask for it anymore. Liu Guixian, the ex-wife of Brother Jifu, is well-known for her virtuous and virtuous manners, gentleness and kindness. After divorcing Old Man Wu, she still took care of her parents-in-law in person until the two old men died one after another. For this reason, everyone in the village condemned Brother Wu for being unkind, being a negative man, and hating Jifu's sister-in-law even more, it must be this bad woman who seduced other men and broke up other families. Mrs. Wu couldn't understand how Brother Jifu was willing to betray and abandon such a simple and kind woman. It is also for this reason that his two sons hate him so much, so hated that they were unwilling to forgive him even if he died.

In fact, everyone knows that although Brother Jifu is divorced from his ex-wife, he is still dedicated to his two sons. Not only did he buy them a house in the town, marry a daughter-in-law, but also rebuild an old house for them in the village and contract two acres of fish ponds. It is said that every year during the Chinese New Year, they are given a large amount of New Year's money, although they have already passed the age of eighteen, and it is no longer the age to press the New Year's money.

The death of Brother Jifu also touched Wu Da deeply, and also strengthened his determination to go out to work and earn more money to change his fate, he must earn more money and let Mrs. Wu live a better life. The most important thing is to have a child of his own, at least, if one day, he is suddenly gone, and he still has a child with his blood to continue his life. Otherwise, he kicked his feet and closed his eyes, turned into a handful of white ashes, and left nothing, didn't he live in vain?

There is also the fact that after Brother Wu died, Wu Da's work could not be done, and Wu Da was sad. I finally found a good job that was more lucrative and promising than being an accountant in the village, but I couldn't do it after only half a year. Of course, in the village, it is sister-in-law Fu who is even more sad, not only because she lost her dearest, but also because she has become the object of spurning by the whole village. She is even less popular in the village, and they all say that she is insatiable, and she is a broom star, Kefu.

Mrs. Wu saw that Sister-in-law Fu had lost weight, and felt pitiful, and went to her house from time to time every day to comfort her. Sister-in-law Fu didn't take these gossips to heart, saying that she was used to hearing them for a long time, and she didn't feel anything. I just felt that my life was miserable, and I finally found someone who was dedicated to being good to myself and living with myself, and if I didn't, it would be gone. When she saw him, he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't speak, so he grabbed the handrail of the hospital bed tightly with one hand, refusing to let go of it, so that people could know that he still had a breath. Just like that, he was pushed into the care room with a breath, and when he was pushed out, the person gradually got cold. Not even a child, not even a word, not even a thought was left for her.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Wu is gone, will you marry again?" Mrs. Wu regretted her words, is it time to say this?

"Of course you have to remarry, is it possible that you will die of old age like this? Will you live alone in the future? He lives, and I will be his daughter-in-law, and I will serve him with all my heart. He died, I couldn't add a man and a woman to him, I took care of his funeral affairs, brought filial piety to him, and sent him on the road. I don't owe him anything! I'm almost forty, and I have to find someone to rely on. The person she loves the most is gone, no one understands her, and she is suppressed and embarrassed everywhere, she doesn't know why she continues to stay in this village!

Hearing Sister-in-law Fu say this, Mrs. Wu looked down on her a little. Why did Brother Wu just pass away, and her bones were not cold, so she was thinking about remarrying.

"Madam, this time your eldest brother Wu's affairs are also due to your family's Wuda, how can you thank you two sister-in-law?" Sister-in-law Fu saw Mrs. Wu's disdain and quietly changed the topic.

"Thank you, you can rest, I'll go home and cook for Wuda."

As soon as Mrs. Wu wanted to get up, Sister-in-law Fu grabbed Mrs. Wu's hand and said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Sister-in-law Fu turned around and went back to the house, and when she came back, she had a wad of money in her hand. "This thousand yuan should be regarded as the labor fee for Wuhan University, delaying him these days. The right should be the salary given to him by your big brother Jifu. ”

"Sister-in-law Fu, what are you doing here, we are not helping you for money. I can't ask for anything, you put the money away! You are alone, what will you use me and Wuda in the future, just open your mouth. Mrs. Wu pushed the money away, turned around and ran away.

The sister-in-law Fu behind her lowered her voice and said, "If you don't take it, I'll send it to you another day!" ”

Mrs. Wu took three steps and trotted home with two steps, standing in her yard and looking at Sister-in-law Fu's house, the two of them were on a hill, Sister-in-law Fu's house was in the back, and Mrs. Wu's house was in front, but more than ten meters apart, leaning out by the low wall in Mrs. Wu's yard, you could see the half of the courtyard of Sister-in-law Fu's house and the roof of the courtyard porch.

The yard of Fu's sister-in-law is one of the best houses in the village, Brother Jifu has earned a lot of money since he was young in outsourcing projects, and when he divorced, he gave the two sets of old yards in the village to his wife and children, this house is still newly built after marrying Sister-in-law Fu, and the house is decorated very magnificently. The big red gilded glazed tiles and the large iron gate, and two tall pillars were also built at the entrance. The pillars are also covered with golden tiles, which are dazzling from a distance.

Mrs. Wu looked at the persimmon tree at the gate of her sister-in-law's house, which was fruitful and bent its branches, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. "What's the use of more money? It's not like it's gone. ”

"What's the fuss? Let's cook, I've been hungry for a long time! Wu Da leaned out of the door of the house and said lazily.

Mrs. Wu responded sweetly, and went into the stove room to get busy. It's good to have her husband at home with her, and she really misses him these days when Wuda is away from home. The two have never been separated for such a long time before, and what they eat at home alone for most of the past half a year is not fragrant, no matter what they do, they can't eat a little more, and they don't want to eat the rest, and it's too wasteful to throw it away.

The saddest thing is at night, the signal in this mountain is not good, and the mobile phone often can't get through. The TV station is also very poor, and she is tired of watching only those channels and TV series. A person is lying on a large creaking bed, and he is scared to turn over. She always wanted Wu Da's thick hands and warm chest, and wanted him to hold her, touch her, and kiss her......

Now it's okay, Wuda is by her side again, with her, they are together, eating together, chatting and sleeping together, although I don't know when Wuda is going to go out and work again, but now, as long as he accompanies her, she is happy, she is happy.

She also knew that Wuda had just come back for half a month, and many old ladies and daughters-in-law in the village were chewing their tongues behind their backs, saying that Wuda was not angry, and the young man in the prime of life knew that he would sleep at home and sleep with his daughter-in-law, and he didn't know how to go out to work to earn money to support his family. The other young adults in the village only come back during the busy farming season, and usually they will not come back if there is something important at home. Not to mention delaying the work to earn money, you have to take the round-trip fee. It's just that if you have something to come back to stay at the construction site for a few days, you will stay at home for a long time, which is to make you lazy and slippery.

But Mrs. Wu doesn't care about this, she doesn't want Wuda to go out again, she wants him to work at home like before, although he earns little money, but he can come back every day, and she can watch him. She didn't want to spend long, cold nights alone.

Is it more money, how much do you earn? Just enough to eat and drink, the most important thing is that the two of them must be together peacefully. As for the house, slowly save money to build it slowly, they are still young, they have strength, and there is nothing wrong with their old house built of stone, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. I think it was also one of the best houses in the village, but it was out of fashion. When her parents were there, their family was also considered a wealthy family in the village, but the two old people died of illness and spent a lot of money, and after they got married, they couldn't conceive children and sought medical treatment everywhere, so the family background gradually deteriorated as before.

But with Wuda with her, what is all this, she can not live in a new house and wear new clothes, she wants Wuda, she wants Wuda to accompany her and hold her, nothing else, nothing!
