Self-contained portal.

When the surrounding villagers heard these four words, they were instantly dumbfounded.

This is not something that can be said casually, and it must be known that even if it is a small saddle fort, there will be no shortage of conflicts between neighbors. More watering, irrigation and many other affairs, many times the family is a kind of strength and deterrence.

As a prime minister, the third master next door has been paying attention to things here. It is said that funerals are chaotic, because people are depressed, and many things will make a big deal if they are not careful. I don't want to really make trouble today.

When he walked over tremblingly, it was just in time for Shen Yun to think about Shen Chao's words about building another door and wall.

hurriedly walked over and grabbed Shen Yun, and persuaded in a low voice: "Baby, don't be rash." No matter how bad a big family is, at least there is a foil when something happens. If you continue to make trouble like this, it's okay for a year or two, but what should you do in the future? ”

What the old man said was true, but he also knew very well in his heart that even if it was external, what about internally?

Shen Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Third master, I am a junior after all, even if something happens in the future, can I please him?" In the past, they were still looking at their father's face, and they were somewhat restrained, but now, I am afraid that the ropes around my neck have been untied, and I have a big house, but there is no stable life. ”

The third master could only nod helplessly.

Shen Gui is the daughter who got married, although Zhu Aming is by her side, she doesn't have the right to talk to their family in the end. Although he stood behind Shen Yun, he couldn't say anything.

The silver bottle came over and took Shen Yun's hand, although he kept sobbing, but when he looked at Shen Chao and the others, he was like Shen Yun, and he didn't have much respect.

The family just looked at the people on the other side quietly.

Compared to Shen Mei and Shen Xi, who lost face, Shen Chao did not react to this kind of thing.

What this example can't be opened, that's all nonsense. With the situation of the Shen family, if they are not together, except for him and Shen Xi, the other families will definitely have a very difficult time. Since Shen Yun wants to set up his own door, let him go.

Without the help of myself and others, don't cry and shout regret when the time comes.

"Are you serious?" Shen Chao's voice was a little stern, this kind of thing, he didn't want to drag the mud and water anymore. Since everyone is in person, this matter has just been decided, and after that, everyone can do whatever they want.

Shen's mother was teary-eyed.

But at this time, he stood behind Shen Yun very firmly: "Child, now that your father has passed away, this family depends on you." Since you have made this decision, as a mother, you will eat bran and drink thin, and I will fully support you. ”

Shen Yun was moved for no reason.

"For many years, although the brothers have been separated, they have not helped each other less, but what benefits have I received from anyone? Not only did it not benefit, but the coolies did a lot of work. But at the end of the day, what did you get? You treat me as nothing, so we don't have to cater to you and pretend to be generous, and from now on, I, Shen Yun, will wait with you and have nothing to do with it. ”

What Shen Yun said was categorical.

Instead, the others nodded secretly. After all, in this case, many people think that the Shen family brothers will help the Shen Yun family.

But is that really the case?

Shen Chao nodded, turned around and shouted to the onlookers: "You have all heard it, from now on, I will wait for the five families, and I will not have anything to do with him." In the future, he should not take advantage of our reputation to be cheap. ”

"The previous six families have long been separated, and the big house has no property with several families in the past few years, and now that the love is over, then my Shen Dynasty will not stay for a long time to burn a piece of paper money for my eldest brother."

Shen Yun looked coldly at Shen Chao and the others pretending to make a gesture, burned the paper money in front of the mourning hall and turned to leave, but he didn't regret it in his heart.

The power of the clan may be vividly reflected at this time, many people in the village originally came to help, but now they saw that Shen Yun set up his own door, and actually became a spectator.

Rao is the third master as a maid shouted hoarsely, but it still had little effect.

The painter and apprentice looked at Shen Yun blankly, and the work in his hands had already stopped.

Looking at the rioting crowd in front of him, Shen Yun frowned, but he forced himself to hold it up, urging the painter: "You just have to paint, and your salary is indispensable." I'll finish it early today and go back early. ”

The painter was stunned. Nodding, according to Shen Yun's previous instructions, he began to draw carefully. After all, he is just an outsider, since he has money, why bother with other people's affairs.

Those who stayed to watch the excitement probably just wanted to see how Shen Yun handled this funeral alone.

It's just that what can the world be hot and cold, without the constraints of Shen Chao and others, Shen Yun instead followed his own train of thought and took care of the affairs in the entire courtyard in an orderly manner.

Finally, night fell.

Mourn today, and be buried tomorrow. When many people left the courtyard, the third master finally came to Shen Yun, who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall.

took a few pieces of paper money on the side, lit them silently on the candle flame, and put them in the basin to melt them, then squatted and said to Shen Yun: "Baby, this time, you are too impulsive to do things." ”

Shen Yun didn't speak, and the old man said to himself.

"Your father passed away today, and the neighbors all took care of his efforts for everyone, so they would help you regardless of Shen Mei and Shen Chao's face. A few of them knew about it. ”

"In the future, if something happens to your family, I'm afraid, no one will dare to come."

Why don't you dare to come? Shen Yun was very clear. Although Shen Chao and Shen Xi are just petty officials who are not in the stream, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and if these brothers want to dig deeper, they can make some stumbling blocks for the people in the village.

When the common people, which is not a master of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. So after tomorrow, I'm afraid that my life will become more and more difficult.

However, so what.

Looking at the candle flame that was swaying in the evening breeze, but still never extinguished, Shen Yun nodded: "The kindness of the third master, I understand it." Since Shen Yun dared to make such a decision, it was not an impulse. In the days to come, even if it is more difficult, it is better than secretly tilting. ”

The third master just came to warn Shen Yun, seeing that he knew what he knew, he naturally didn't say much, sighed, staggered his steps, and slowly walked towards his yard.

The evening breeze was blowing, and Shen's mother, accompanied by Shen Gui, cooked some white porridge on the stove, endured the grief in her heart, and brought it to Shen Yun.

"Son, eat something, the days to come, it's all up to you."

The voice was very soft, and it was also choked, and Shen's mother's eyes were red from crying, and she looked so sad at this time. Shen Yun silently took the bowl and drank the porridge in the bowl in one go. wiped his mouth and agreed very firmly:

"Auntie, hard days will come to an end after all. If your son is not filial, he will cause you to suffer. ”

Shen Yun understands very well that the next twenty-seven months will be the real torment.

During the period of filial piety, it is natural to cut off all communication and entertainment. It's a headache. If it was just farming, neither he nor Shen's mother were excellent laborers, and it was difficult to guarantee how the next days would be.

Only what Shen Yun thought in his heart could he barely cope with it.

Let Zhu Aming's family accompany Shen's mother to rest, and Shen Yun is guarding the spirit in front of the mourning hall. According to the customs of the village, the candle flame in the mourning hall cannot be extinguished, which must be guarded diligently.

Shen Yun knelt all night, kneeling until his feet were numb, and then he could reach dawn. Early in the morning, as soon as the sheep herd drove out of the flock, the villagers from all over the neighborhood gathered around.

The coffin was painted yesterday, and Shen Shan's body was carried in. As for the burial pit, a table of mutton was set up yesterday for eight young people in the village to eat, and it was dug overnight from last night to this morning.

The four of them carried the coffin, Shen Yun helped the spirit, it seemed that the funeral was not very grand, and it ended in the crowd's onlookers.

Most of them had the intention of dying, and after coming back, they ate the stewed noodles made by Shen's mother and a few women, and then no one stopped and went straight home.

Zhu Aming wanted Shen Gui to stay with Shen's mother for a few more days. It's just that, considering that he is alone, his wife is not the one who can take care of him to eat, and the two children are dragged down, so it is naturally not good.

In the end, the silver bottle was still left, and Shen Gui went back to take care of Zhu Aming and his son.

The three of them cleaned up the mess and worked for most of the day, and the courtyard finally returned to its previous cleanliness.

It seems that Shen Yun's life is going to go on so simply. When the villagers returned home, they had to laugh a few words, after all, without the backer of the Shen family, how should this orphan and widow live.

Shen Yun sat in his room, thinking about his next life.

Previously, he earned back two taels of silver, and the two months spent were a full three hundred wen, plus one tael of silver scattered by Shen Shan after his death, and now there are only about seven hundred wen left. My mother and son may be able to survive a year by saving some frugality.

But if you don't get it next fall, your home will be out of cooking.

It's difficult, Shen Yun sighed secretly in his heart. But there was still no sound. The night sky was naturally silent, and it was this silence that made him hear that in the room over there, Shen's mother was still crying.

The silver bottle is sensible and keeps comforting. But can you expect a woman in her forties to be persuaded by a teenage child?
