After Xiaohuzi left, Ling'er stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, she was hesitating whether to go to Yue'er or go home? It's all here, let's go and see it!

So, she turned around and walked towards the village chief's house, and when she arrived at the gate of the village chief's house, she found that there were many people inside. What's going on? Could it be that Aunt Zhu suffered a loss and ran to the village chief to complain?

She stepped on the steps and knocked on the courtyard door, and everyone in the courtyard turned back at the same time, all with ugly faces. Ling'er was a little embarrassed, these people are the village chief's own family, his old man's three sons and two daughters, plus the children of each family, Yue'er's generation also has biological children, so their family has four generations in the same house, and if they are all together, four or five tables are not enough, and now there are indeed four or five tables in this small courtyard.

Is it a family meeting? Ling'er was about to say sorry, but she heard a cold snort: "What are you doing with this broom star again?" ”

It was the second daughter-in-law of the village chief who spoke, this woman had never seen her have a good face since Ling'er knew her, and Ling'er didn't want to deal with this ignorant woman, but she humiliated herself like this, Ling'er was really angry.

At this time, Yue'er ran out of it, "Ling'er, are you here?" Yue'er ran over in a few steps and took Ling'er's hand: "Let's go, let's go outside to talk." ”

The two leaned against the courtyard wall, Yue'er sniffed and rubbed her eyes, "Ling'er, why are you here?" Is there something wrong? ”

Ling'er looked at her eyes red, and then looked at the people in the courtyard, remembering that the old village chief was sick in bed two months ago, could it be that the old village chief was ...... Ling'er felt sad in her heart, and took out a handkerchief to help Yue'er wipe the corners of her eyes: "Sister Yue'er, don't be sad, the old village chief and his old man have his own natural appearance......"

Who knew that as soon as Ling'er said this, Yue'er, who was still enduring it, suddenly lay on Ling'er's shoulder and cried out. Ling'er was startled and hurriedly comforted her.

A moment later. A boy of eleven or twelve years old stuck out of the gate of the courtyard and said in a low voice: "Sister Yue'er, the second aunt said to tell you to be quiet, grandpa is not dead yet." ”

Yue'er immediately stopped crying, turned around and glared at the young man fiercely, and the young man shrunk his neck: "I didn't say it, it was the second aunt who asked me to say it." With that, he turned around and ran.

Yue'er bit her lower lip and clenched her fists, staring at the ground hatefully. It's like trying to burn a hole in the ground. Ling'er stood with her for a while, and Yue'er said in a low voice: "Grandpa is going, and they don't let people worry." Do you have to be angry with your grandfather to be willing? ”

"What?"

Yue'er raised her head and looked at Ling'er with tears in her eyes: "Ling'er, you say, why are people in the world so greedy?" ”

Ling'er was speechless. Looking at it like this, it is most likely that the sons and daughters-in-law of the old village chief are fighting for property. Before the people went, they began to loot with such fanfare, what a group of wolves. I really can't figure it out, the old village chief is such a good person. Why are his children and grandchildren like this?

"Yue'er, come on, grandpa wants to see you." Yue'er, her eldest sister hurriedly ran out and pulled her into the yard. Ling'er wanted to leave, but hesitated. Still silently entered the courtyard and stood behind the big tree at the foot of the courtyard.

There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone looked at the door of the old village chief's house, and could faintly hear the sobs inside. Half a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden cry in the house: "Daddy, daddy, you can't go!" ”

Everyone in the courtyard immediately cried, and the daughters-in-law of the old village chief cried and grabbed the ground, stumbling towards the door of the old village chief's house, and Ling'er behind the tree bit her lower lip, and tears fell down unconsciously.

"Dad, you can't go, what will happen to your grandson when you leave? ......" The second daughter-in-law of the village chief threw herself at the door of the house and wanted to climb in, but was blocked by the cold-faced Grandma Gui.

Grandma Gui stood speechless with a white face, everyone in the courtyard was silent, and Grandma Gui said in a stiff voice: "Old man...... He walks peacefully, so don't weep and rob the earth, disturbing his purity. Second, you go and ask Mr. Taoist; The third child, you go to buy incense, candles, money, paper, white cloth, and cannons; Fourth, you go and ask someone to hold a funeral banquet, a few daughters-in-law, you go to report the funeral to each family. ”

After Grandma Gui finished arranging, she sat down weakly, Yue'er and her mother and her sister hurriedly went over to comfort, after a while, Yue'er Niang looked up and saw that her younger brothers and sisters-in-law were still in the courtyard, she frowned and looked at her younger brothers, and several men hesitated, but listened to the second daughter-in-law muttering dissatisfiedly: "Just tell us to do things, what do you do if you don't have money?" ”

Yue'er Niang's face turned white with a brush, and Grandma Gui, who was holding her forehead, sighed lightly, and said weakly: "You go first, how much money was spent to keep your own accounts, and when the old man is sent away, I will return it to you." ”

"But mother, you know my family's ......" The second daughter-in-law was about to complain again, Grandma Gui suddenly slapped the chair handle hard, and said angrily: "The old woman is not dead yet, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay for your money, get out, get out of me!" ”

Several sons were startled, and quickly pulled their daughter-in-law and ran away, some of their children and grandchildren were scattered, and some knelt in front of Grandma Gui and cried and said that they wanted to be filial, Grandma Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there were a few who had filial piety.

Ling'er saw that the village chief's family was busy and it was inconvenient to disturb her, so she quietly withdrew from the courtyard and walked home quickly. As soon as she entered the house, she hurriedly told her family about the old village chief, asked Daqiang to go to the town to buy a high-quality coffin, sealed another hundred taels of silver, changed into plain clothes, and took Ning Shu to the village chief's house for funeral.

The old village chief is the most kind person in this world except for his father and mother, and Ling'er is sad; Ning Shu has been by his side almost every day since he worshiped the old village chief as his teacher, and the old village chief has high hopes for him, and he teaches him very strictly and carefully, believing that in Ning Shu's heart, his old man is also an irreplaceable existence.

The two cried fiercely in front of the old village chief's spirit, and they also helped during the funeral. There was Ling'er to help make up the silver, and those unscrupulous descendants didn't make much trouble.

After the coffin was buried, the spiritual seat of the old village chief was enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Wang family, and Grandma Gui took her children and grandchildren to kneel and worship, and everyone was ready to disperse, but they heard Grandma Gui say: "Everyone, please stay." ”

At this time, almost the whole village was here, and Grandma Gui said: "Today, while several old brothers are here, in front of everyone, the old woman will sort out the little tattered things at home." ”

Everyone was shocked, although the old village chief was highly respected, but the villagers knew that his daughters-in-law were not good, and the son listened to his daughter-in-law, naturally right and wrong were indispensable.

Grandma Gui sighed and said: "My sons and daughters are all born to me, I have never been biased against anyone who does not want to see anyone, since you always think of my little belongings, then give it to you."

Before leaving, the old man discussed with me, our family's field has a total of about 20 acres, and you three brothers will divide it equally, and my dowry can still be worth a little silver, so I will leave a memory for my two daughters.

As for the old house, the old man said that he would donate it to the village to set up a private school, so that the children of our Wangjia Village can study in the future, and the funeral received this time will be stored in the village and used to pay for the husband of the private school. ”

"Ah, mother, that's a few hundred taels of silver!" Several daughters-in-law immediately objected, but in front of everyone's eyes, they were still a little weak-hearted, and the second daughter-in-law was a little unwilling, so she changed her mind and said: "Mother, you have finished dividing everything, how will you live the rest of your life?" It's not as good as ......."

"I will live in this ancestral hall in the future, keep the spirits of the ancestors of the royal family, and accompany the old man by the way. Alas - so be it, you all disperse! After Grandma Gui finished speaking, she turned around slowly and looked at the old village chief's spiritual position fixedly. (To be continued)
