With the help of the neighbors, the mourning hall was quickly picked up, and Donnie Yen was also neatly washed and put into the coffin.

Shujie took his younger brothers and sisters to salute the neighbors: "Xie Lu, thank you uncles and aunts, eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

Aunt Li touched Shuyao and Shuwen's little heads: "Brother Jie is going to keep a wake tonight, and everyone will come to help tomorrow morning and bury your mother next to your father's grave." Sister Yao and Brother Wen are still too young to keep vigil all night, so let's go to bed after a while, I will let Chunsheng come over to accompany your eldest brother.

Sister-in-law Ajuan also said: "Our uncle Qingfu will also stay with Brother Jie." ”

The carpenter's lady said: "Don't worry, the carpenters and a few of them have already arranged shifts, and the two of them will stay here in shifts to help."

Shu Yao looked at them with a pair of teary eyes: "Xie Lu Xie two aunts, Xie Lu Xie Ajuan's sister-in-law, Yao'er will take her younger brother to sleep and listen to her eldest brother." ”

In the previous life, the eldest uncle Zhen Dafu and the aunt Lin refused the help of the neighbors, Shu Yao cried and drove everyone away at the instigation of Cuizhu, and only a few subordinates brought by Zhen Dafu put Donnie Yen into the coffin. It was the eldest brother Shujie who insisted on setting up a simple mourning hall, lit a white candle, and guarded the hall alone, and she and Shuwen were pulled to sleep by Cuizhu.

Thinking about it now, at that time, Zhen Dafu and the Lin family wanted to smuggle things away at night, but what they didn't expect was that the eldest uncle and the third uncle would also get the news so quickly.

Shu Yao looked at the hourglass on the shelf, and estimated that the eldest uncle and the third uncle were also arriving.

Sure enough, before the neighbors went out, the three Shujie brothers and sisters knelt down, and a group of people swarmed in at the door, and it was the eldest uncle Xia Linyu and the third uncle Xia Linang who walked in the front.

The ancestor of the Xia family was originally the founder of the country and the hereditary Marquis of Yongping. Xia Shuyao's grandfather inherited the marquis for less than three years, was framed and involved in the rebellion of the abolished prince. The Xia family has since fallen and returned to Yulin Town from the capital.

Shu Yao's grandfather had three sons, only his father Xia Linxuan was the concubine born to the maid (later raised to the aunt), and the eldest uncle and the third uncle were both born to the original old lady Xia. Xia Linxuan's status in the Xia family is very low, and when his original wife Zhao (Xia Shujie's mother) gave birth, one of Xia Linyu's concubines also gave birth, and as a result, Xia Linxuan's invited Wen Po was taken away, and Zhao gave birth to Shujie desperately with the help of his personal maid, leaving a serious root of illness and dying within two years.

After Zhao's birth, Xia Linxuan asked to split up in anger, and he was almost out of the house that year.

In addition, Shu Yao also has two aunts, Xia Ruoxue and Xia Ruoyun. Xia Ruoxue is a concubine, she was married before the fall of the Hou Mansion and stayed in the capital, and her husband's family is the Anguo Mansion. Shu Yao in her previous life once begged to come to the door, but Xia Ruoxue just sent a little maid out and gave her ten taels of silver, but she didn't even let the door in, and asked her not to come to the door again in the future.

Xia Ruoyun and Xia Linxuan were born to the same mother, and were married by their mother-in-law to a landlord who was twelve years older than her in Lucheng suburb County as a continuation, thanks to Xia Ruoyun's beauty, gentleness and good housekeeping, that landlord was not bad to Xia Ruoyun.

Xia Ruoyun has a good relationship with Donnie Yen's sister-in-law, and she also loves the three Shuyao brothers and sisters. However, in the previous life, before Xia Ruoyun "returned" to Shangshu Mansion in Shuyao, that is, more than half a year later, Xia Ruoyun died of dystocia, it is said that the fetus was too big to give birth, and as a result, one corpse and two lives, both mother and child died.

Xia Linyu and Xia Linang both came to this courtyard for the first time, and they didn't come when Xia Linxuan passed away more than a month ago. That is, a few days ago, Xia Linang's son Xia Shuwei occasionally heard people talk about the mountain bandit robbery case three months ago in the teahouse, it is said that the owner of the goods is Yao Qianguan, a famous wealthy businessman in Dazhou, Yao Qianguan in order to thank Xia Linxuan, the head catcher, sent him two big boxes as a thank you gift. Everyone knows that the thirty large boxes robbed by Yao Qianguan that time were either silver or precious medicinal materials, that is to say, what Xia Linxuan received was probably a box of silver and a box of medicinal materials.

Such a big box, how much silver and how many medicinal herbs should there be? Xia Linyu and Xia Linang couldn't sit still, originally Mrs. Xia was going to call Donnie Yen over to lecture and find a name to get the two boxes of things, but I didn't expect to hear that Donnie Yen was seriously ill and dying, and Donnie Yen's eldest brother and sister-in-law rushed over from the Daimyo's Mansion City. Is this worth it? As soon as the rain stopped, their brothers immediately came to them, and when they came to the door, they saw the white curtain hanging up.

As soon as Zhen Dafu heard that someone from the Xia family was coming, he rushed out: "What are you doing here?" My sister has been sick for so long, and no one from your Xia family has come, and everyone is dead at this time, what are you doing here? ”

Shu Yao gritted her teeth secretly, this person is really thick-skinned, has their Zhen family been here for so long since her mother was "sick"? How did my mother get "sick"?

Xia Linyu glanced at Zhen Dafu disdainfully: "This is the Xia family, and the surname of this courtyard is Xia Bu Zhen." ”

"You," Zhen Dafu said angrily, "so what? You have long since split up, who doesn't know that Lu Dao's brother-in-law is out of the house? This courtyard is surnamed Xia, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Isn't it more irrelevant to your surname Zhen?" Xia Linang snorted coldly.

The few neighbors who stayed behind to help watched the two groups of people fighting over each other, but no one paid any attention to the three children kneeling in front of the spirit, and couldn't help but shake their heads, what kind of uncle and uncle are these? Usually don't come together, people die, they come to quarrel, what do you want to fight? This yard is for three children.

Shu Yao suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something, and said softly to Shu Jie: "Big brother, I'll go to the toilet." After speaking, he quietly retreated.

When she arrived at her mother's house, it was empty, Shu Yao closed the door, moved a chair and climbed up to take down the bow of her father on the wall and the quiver next to it, thinking about hiding it in the box, the things in her hand disappeared immediately. And the big red box in my mind appeared, and the bows and arrows were all placed in the utility compartment. Shu Yao was overjoyed, great, she was also worried that someone would suddenly come in, and she wouldn't have time to show up the box, so she could throw things in with her consciousness. As soon as she was happy, Shu Yao put a few pieces of jewelry in the drawer of her mother's dresser into the miscellaneous compartment.

Then, Shu Yao hurriedly ran to her house again, and put her treasure chest into the big red box, the treasure chest was made for her by her father, which contained the pocket money she had accumulated for many years, and the jewelry that her father and mother bought for her, although it was not very valuable, but it was all her father's love for her. In his previous life, even this treasure chest was searched, and I don't know if Lu Dao was taken by the Lin family or stolen by Cuizhu.

After putting away her things, Shu Yao carried the oil lamp to the thatched house, which was on the edge of the utility room, Shu Yao looked at the piles of hay and chopped firewood in the utility room, and a bold idea swept into her mind.
