Chapter 35 Burial Disputes

"No, your mother can't enter the village! It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, and the people in the village can understand it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Aunt Shu put on the momentum of everyone, and now it is not only a matter of returning the courtesy, but also about her face and her prestige in the family. Aunt Shu stood on a slightly high ridge, pinching her waist and commanding a few nephews, "Hurry up and invite your four aunts up, don't delay the auspicious time!" ”

"I see who dares to touch my mother's !!" Pan Erniang's momentum did not decrease but increased, fiercely guarding the coffin spirit of Mrs. Shu, picking up a stone or dirt or something like that, and throwing it on the person who was ready to carry the spirit. The cousins are not stupid, whoever says that they will win will listen to whom, and the left and right are here to work.

When Old Man Shu saw this, he was anxious, he couldn't do it, if he continued like this... But he is a father-in-law, and he is in the sky, so it's not good to pull with a daughter-in-law, or he would have done it earlier! He poured his anger on his second son, and suddenly hit Shu Lao Er's back, Shu Lao Er looked at his father in surprise, Shu Lao Lao made a face at him, and told him to hurry up and persuade.

In just a few days, Shu Lao Er looked as if he was several years older, with a few more fine lines at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and his eyes were full of sorrow and exhaustion. Seeing that he didn't move, Old Man Shu beckoned to his shoulder again, he didn't hide, he understood what his father meant, but when was it now, he couldn't give in, he couldn't let his mother be buried with a bad reputation!

Shu Lao Er and Shu Lao San were like two iron pillars on the coffin, and their attitude was very resolute: the coffin must be carried into the village!

Aunt Shu saw that her younger brother was useless, so she gave her second niece another look.

Shu Ergu glanced at her eldest brother-in-law and eldest brother, both frowning and calming their faces, but they refused to compromise and let Pan's cry. She hesitated for a long time, lowered her head and pretended not to see Aunt Shu.

Aunt Shu trembled angrily, and scolded: "You ** cubs, you won't listen to him if your father is not dead, you mother..."

"Mother~~~!" Pan Erniang's longitudinal cry interrupted Aunt Shu's scolding, "Mother~~~!" Did you hear that," Pan Erniang shouted and patted Mrs. Shu's coffin board, "You have worked hard for the Shu family all your life, saving money for others, and seeing that you came back with so much money, but people scolded you so much..."

"Mother~~~", Pan Erniang's cry didn't even hit for a moment, she had been holding back these words for several days, "Look at you just left, my father is not emotional, and my aunt doesn't remember you well, and refuses to let you enter the village~~~ What does my father mean not to let you enter the village~~~" The people of the Shu family stood there quietly, no one excused Old Man Shu, Old Man Shu's face was red and white for a while, and it felt like he was being stripped naked to watch the monkey show in front of the public.

“… We don't want you to go, but my father will listen to my aunt, I have to send you to Qinhuangdao~~~" Pan Erniang's crying was sincere, and everyone in the Shu family who listened to it cried in mourning.

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Shu's face couldn't hold back, most of the people in the village knew about Lai Han being sent to Qinhuangdao in Donghenggou Village, she hurriedly glanced at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, and asked them to pull Pan Erniang up.

Maybe Pan Erniang has been too busy these days - all the things in the room have been handed over to her, and it is a white banquet, and it is a wake-up and condolences, and she rests for no more than two hours a day - she finally has free time, maybe it is the rough nerves, she finally accepted the sudden death of her mother-in-law, she held Mrs. Shu's coffin, and the cry was no longer hidden, and the whole village was echoing.

The two daughters-in-law plus Shu Ergu, but they couldn't pull Pan Erniang to come.

Pan Erniang saw a few people coming to pull herself, and she was even more angry, "Mother, you always let people kill you, what kind of life did you live before you left, you can't eat, you can't sleep, mother, open your eyes and see, these people won't let you enter the village and let you go with a bad name..."

At the beginning, Qinglan and Mingyu were frightened by Pan Erniang's behavior, and gradually Qinglan pondered the taste, my mother is holding grandma upset! At this moment, Qinglan has already given Pan Erniang countless likes in her heart, it's enjoyable~~~ Old pious woman! If it weren't for you, my milk wouldn't be gone!

The onlookers began to chatter, and the direction of public opinion was naturally to favor Pan Erniang, people's hearts are so strange, people's first reaction is to sympathize with the weak, even if they are familiar with Aunt Shu, but the things in front of them cannot be denied, don't you see that everyone is gone?

"It turns out that she made it bad..."The two ladies may have their ears behind their backs, and everyone present who whispered heard it.

"Donghenggou is a Lai Han, and his brother sent people to treat him! Shu Laosi and his daughter-in-law are really sick, and they are so wolf-hearted, sending a sick person there, isn't that killing people..."The two old grandfathers who were over the age of sixteen also judged this matter with their heads in mind.

Aunt Shu was very concerned about her reputation when she was young, and she hardly went out after being widowed, and her popularity in the village was still not bad. When the people in the village saw her, who didn't call her Aunt Shu?! But now... Aunt Shu heard these discussions, and Pan's words ruined the good reputation she had built for so many years!

"Go! Go to the village! "Old man Shu is a good-looking man, the words of the second daughter-in-law crackled in his face, he couldn't afford to lose this person!

But Aunt Shu can't let people leave like this, so isn't it completely confirmed that she murdered her younger siblings!? My family's reputation is all over! No, absolutely not!

She watched a few nephews start to carry the coffin hand in hand, sat on the ridge of the ground, slapped her slap and cried while letting go: "I'm not alive~~~ This old man still lets a junior point his nose and scold, daddy, why did you leave so early, our mother was bullied like this~~~ I was kind enough to save money for her family to treat the disease, but in the end I complained about me!! God, why didn't you chop this one who killed a thousand knives... My poor brother and sister, I'm sincere..."

"Mother, we can't afford such kindness, whose kindness is so powerful, it directly kills people, even if it is a bad heart, it can make you come back to life, we are also willing~ As long as we can bring my mother back to life~~~" Pan Erniang's voice is obviously several orders of magnitude higher than that of Aunt Shu.

Aunt Shu heard the churning of blood and rolled her eyes, and almost turned her back on her anger, Meizi hurriedly went up to support her grandmother, afraid that she would be angry.

"Grandma," Qinglan wanted to pounce, but was tightly held by Shu Laoer, she looked at her father puzzled, Shu Laoer shook his head at her but didn't explain, this is an adult's business, children don't get involved, Qinglan is young, no matter what she does, she doesn't care. Besides, his daughter is a person who wants to study for the imperial examination in the future, and she can't and shouldn't have a bad reputation.

"Enter the village!" Old Man Shu shouted at the top of his voice, Aunt Shu is no longer useful, and she can't get up from sitting on the ground at this time.

"Qiling~~~" Zhao Chengzhi shouted loudly, he was the supervisor of this funeral. Boss Shu and Shu Dalang took the lead in front, and Shu Lao's second and third children and a few cousins shouted a slogan, and the coffin was finally lifted.

Pan Erniang held Qinglan in one hand and Brother Hu in the other, and cried all the way, big teardrops rolled down into the soil, and the cry seemed to make Qinglan's heart cry through.

The cemetery of the Shu family is not too far, about three quarters of an hour, in the northernmost part of the field, there are two big willow trees planted side by side, the front is buried in the ancestors of the old man Shu, and the two nearest graves are the parents of the old man Shu.

Mrs. Shu's grave was very close to the willow tree, and Mr. Shu shouted several times to be buried, but was stopped by Pan Erniang. Pan Erniang was lying on the coffin, and no one could pull her up.

"Mother~" Pan Erniang's posture was as if she was about to reopen the coffin, and Boss Shu was in a hurry, so she pushed Shu Er hard and asked him to pull away his daughter-in-law. But Shu Lao Er didn't move at all, Shu Lao San intentionally or unintentionally blocked in front of the eldest brother, Wang Yufen and Qin stood far away, Zhao Bingsheng's family was silent, and Aunt Shu knelt there and wept secretly.

"Mother~~~ I haven't seen your last face~~~" To be precise, since Mrs. Shu left, the two sisters-in-law didn't let her get close at all, and even avoided her in the funeral.

Pan Erniang's cry seemed to infect everyone, and the Shu family was in mourning again.

Shu Ergu received the eyes of her eldest brother and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her, but she was Pan Erniang's opponent, Pan Erniang's strength was not ordinary!

"Mother~~~ We didn't let you go, we didn't let you go, but you were still sent away..."Pan Erniang shook off the second sister-in-law and continued to cry on the coffin, Qinglan dared to say, the whole village heard this.

Aunt Shu also heard it, she trembled and was hugged by her daughter-in-law, and she was about to kneel, but Aunt Shu hurriedly leaned sideways to support her, "Auntie, what are you doing!" ”

Aunt Shu continued to kneel, and howled loudly: "It's me, an old and immortal old woman, who is kind enough to treat you, but your blessing is so thin..."

"Mother, have you heard, my aunt is kind, you have to complain in your heart, don't complain about my aunt..."

"Mother, don't complain about your father, don't blame us..." Second Aunt Shu knelt in front of the grave and kept kowtowing to Mrs. Shu.

"Mother, if you want to complain, complain about us, we didn't keep you..." Pan Erniang cried and sobbed, unable to speak, "Mother, what are you missing there, you come to find us, we will burn it for you..."

The mule cart back to the city only carried Qinglan's family, and the old man Shu was going to stay in the village for a while, accompanied by the elder Shu, and Qinglan had to go to school tomorrow, so the family had to rush back to the south of the city. The carriage was quiet, and the two husbands and wives snuggled up to each other, comforting each other silently. Qinglan and Mingyu leaned against the window on the side, and their sad feelings did not need to be concealed in front of their families.

The scenery is nothing to see, and in late autumn and early winter, the fields are a bleak and dilapidated scene.

Autumn is the season when people receive their crops, and it is also the dead season for crops.

Qinglan can't help but think of a song describing late autumn: like a sigh of the rivers and lakes, starting a journey for a while... As nature grows and fades, it becomes deeper and deeper like the imprint of the skin. The gray, cold sky is the last stage of the leaves, dancing with the wind in the air to complete the most beautiful glide in life. Late autumn is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.

Winter is coming, will spring be far away? Such repeated overlapping is a life that we can't grasp...

"Sister! Sister! Look! Mingyu suddenly grabbed Qinglan's sleeve and pulled himself to the window on the other side.

Qinglan turned her body and poked her head out of the car window, Shu Lao Er was afraid that she would fall, so he grabbed her back placket.

A thin teenager, surrounded and beaten by a crowd of people, stubbornly motionless, kneeling on the ground, struggling to dig the soil with his hands.

It's him! Qinglan secretly wondered: Where is his family's grave? Who were the people who beat him?

"Dad," Qinglan made a quick decision, "Let's get out of the car and have a look!" "Since grandpa helped him once, he can't let people beat him to death here!

Shu Lao Er thought for a second and stopped the mule cart. Although I don't know each other, nosy is not Shu Laoer's character, but at this moment, Shu Laoer sympathizes with this fellow fallen person.

"Stop!" Shu Lao Er led Qinglan and Mingyu and walked quickly to the young man, "What are you doing?" You can't talk about anything! Hit a kid like this?! ”

A few beaters were also tired, and they explained the reason to Shu Laoer.

It turned out that this young man's name was Zhang Guanjie, and he was from Zhangjiazhuang. In order to treat his mother's illness, he crossed the threshold of the whole village, and promised to pay his homestead to the villagers. Later, his mother was gone, and the villagers refused to lend him money for funeral, so Zhang Guanjie had no choice but to take the deed and exchange it for a thin coffin.

Now the people in the village are annoyed, they originally said that they would take the house to pay off the debt, but now they are making such a fuss!

"Then you can't beat people like this, you can't get the money if you beat people to death, and you have to bear a life lawsuit!" Shu Lao Er objectively said to Zhang Guanjie, "In this way, you will issue an IOU from each family and let him pay it back slowly!" ”

The people in the village are quite reasonable, mainly because if they don't do this, they can't really beat people to death. A few people went back to the village to discuss with the villagers, and when they returned, each of them had a shovel in his hand.

Shu Lao Er also took a shovel to help dig it, and soon, Zhang Guanjie's mother's coffin was successfully buried in the ground.

The young man looked like he had no love, signed and stamped his handprints on the IOUs one by one, and when the villagers left, he still knelt in front of the grave, staring at the tombstone stupidly.

Shu Lao Er sat beside him and asked softly: "The deceased has passed away, but the living still have to live well, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Zhang Guanjie shook his head, dazed.

Shu Lao Er saw that it was not too early, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to return to the city, so he pulled him up from the ground, "Come with me, I can still take care of your food." "Shu Lao Er's mind has already begun to think about what kind of errand to find him, let's support myself first.

Zhang Guanjie nodded obediently, rice, he hasn't eaten for a long time, but he has eaten a lot of soil recently.

"Do you need to go home and get something?" Shu Lao Er reminded him carefully.

Family? Heh, where is there a home, Zhang Guanjie shook his head bitterly, and climbed into the mule cart after Qinglan.

The coachman was impatient to wait, Pan Erniang had promised to add money to him, but the road was still very fast, very bumpy, Qinglan felt that her ass was about to be broken into two pieces! (To be continued.) )
