While sorting out the things in the coffin, Lao Yan shed tears and said, "Sister Mei'er, this child is blessed." ”

If there is an unmarried girl who dies, let alone a thick burial, even the funeral will not be done, and the kind-hearted will dig a pit and buy it, and if you don't want to bother, you will use a mat to roll the bag, take it to the mountains and throw it away, and it will be over.

Dafu spent a lot of money to organize this funeral for Sister Mei'er, so that she could go in style.

As he spoke, Lao Yan thought of his own Cui Niu Hongniu's granddaughters, and he didn't know if they were dead or alive now? If they are unlucky, will someone bury them?

Thinking of his granddaughters and the Xie family, Lao Yan's tears fell even more.

Chen cried for a few days, and now he is buried, but he has calmed down a lot, and put the remaining rouge gouache, a set of brocade dresses, handkerchiefs, silk flowers, spice bags and other things into the coffin one by one: "These are all things you like, not to mention that the family doesn't love you, and now they have been bought back for you, but the silk flowers are bought twenty-four, which are much better than the ones Zou Yuwan gave you...... When I see your mother, bring her a message, and say that the second aunt owes you this account first, and when Brother Wang and Brother Fa start a family, I will kowtow to her and ask for guilt when I go down. ”

Before the eldest sister-in-law died, she was worried that Sister Mei'er's identity as the widowed eldest daughter would be accused, and she begged her to take good care of Sister Mei, but she promised to take good care of Sister Mei, but she didn't take good care of Sister Mei'er, so that her average age would be gone.

He said: "You are a fierce person, but your mother is a good temper, when you get down, don't bully your mother, otherwise when the old lady goes down, she will still clean you up!" ”

Chen didn't want to cry, but she shed tears as she spoke, she stood by the coffin and chattered a lot with Gu Yumei, until Chu came to urge, saying that the time for burial was coming, she stopped, looked at the things in the coffin again, and after confirming that there was no omission, she stepped aside.

Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui personally covered the coffin and nailed it.

Gu Yumei was not married, and there were no children and grandchildren to be buried in the basin, and only Gu Dewang and Gu Defa were younger than her in the family, so the two brothers were arrested and walked at the front of the funeral procession to give Gu Yumei a funeral.

It stands to reason that this is unruly, and Village Chief He also said that this is not good, but the Chen family feels sorry for Gu Yumei and does not mind their two sons holding flags and throwing paper money for Gu Yumei's funeral.

Gu Dewang and Gu Defa have accepted the fact that Gu Yumei died, and after crying for a few days in fear and sadness, they are no longer afraid, it is the Chen family who do whatever they say about their brothers, and they sent Gu Yumei's coffin to the mountain all the way, and after two hours of busy work, they finally buried Gu Yumei.

People from several families also followed behind and went to see Gu Yumei off for the last time.

Luo Huiniang was very sad, crying all the way, holding Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu's hands, and said with fear and self-blame: "I want to save her...... But I can't save ......."

Gu Jinxiu lowered her voice and comforted her: "Don't say it, if you have anything to say, come to my house to sleep at night, and then talk to me and Xiaoyu." ”

Now that there are so many people, Uncle Dafu's family is here, if they hear it, it will be sad again.

Luo Huiniang could only stop talking when she heard this, but her tears kept falling, and she kept saying sorry to Gu Yumei in her heart.

After Gu Yumei was buried, several families took turns to incense her, and when Gu Jinli was offering incense, he threw a piece of paper into the clay pot with paper money burning, and said to the grave: "This is the tofu recipe, spice recipe and lo-mei recipe, you have always wanted to know, now that it is burned for you, you don't have to worry about it in the future." ”

When Gu Dafu heard this, he cried and said: "Thank you, Xiaoyu, Sister Mei'er, she has been thinking about these recipes, and if you burn them to her, you can also make her blind." ”

Gu Yumei's death hit Gu Dafu very hard, he cried a lot in front of Gu Yumei's grave, and finally fainted and was carried down the mountain by several men.

That night, he had a high fever, talking nonsense, shouting Runiang for a while, saying that he was sorry for her, and then shouting Village Chief Gu, saying that he was useless and failed to protect his family, and called Gu Yumei's, let her have a good birth in the next life, and don't meet a father like him who has no money and no power.

Gu Dexing was scared stupid, for fear that Gu Dafu would just pass, and he had been staying by Gu Dafu's bedside, not daring to go anywhere.

Gu Dagui was so anxious that he hurriedly ran to Gu Jinli's house for help, Gu Dashan got up overnight and went to the workshop to call Kan Liu and Mutong them, and took them to see Gu Dafu.

Kan Liu and Mu Tong are both good at medical skills, after Mu Tong gave Gu Dafu an injection, he prescribed a prescription, went directly to the pharmaceutical workshop to pick up medicinal materials to boil, and poured Gu Dafu down, Gu Dafu settled down and stopped talking nonsense.

At dawn the next day, the high fever on his body also subsided, but Gu Dafu was too stimulated, and he went to the county seat every day to wait for Zou Hai to be arrested in the past few days, and his body was already exhausted, and he woke up after being in a coma for two days.

After waking up, the twilight on Gu Dafu's body became heavier, his temples began to turn white, and he lay in bed for more than ten days before he could get out of bed.

Gu Dafu's serious illness scared the third grandfather and several families.

The third grandmother said with red eyes: "He has lasted too long...... When his father and Runiang died, he was a little bad, he was strong for the sake of the child, and now Sister Mei is dead again, we have settled down, and we don't need to hold on anymore, so he fell ill. ”

The third grandfather sighed: "It's okay to be sick this time, after being sick, the cut in my heart can pass, otherwise I will always press it in my heart, and I feel sorry for this, sorry for that, and he will not have a good time in the rest of his life." ”

Gu Jinli didn't have a deep impression of Village Chief Gu and Aunt Ru, he only knew that Gu Dafu admired Village Chief Gu very much and loved his daughter-in-law very much, everyone in his hometown village said that his sister-in-law married a good man, but Gu Dafu always felt that he had climbed high, saying that if his aunt was literate, he could marry her, or rely on the identity of the village chief's son.

Village Chief Gu's family will raise Gu Yumei, and a big reason is also because Aunt Ru's mother's family wants to raise Gu Yumei well, and in the future, she will marry into a scholar's family by relying on the relationship between Aunt Ru's mother's family.

It's a pity that after escaping the famine, Gu Dafu's family lost contact with Aunt Ru's mother's family, and now I don't know where Aunt Ru's family went.

Two days after Gu Dafu was able to go to the ground, Luo Wu came back, found his house, and said: "Zou Hai's family members in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and Zhongzhou have been taken to Tianfu County. Xu Xianling said, your family is a bitter master, you can go to the court to hear the trial. ”

He also said: "Zou Hai has family wealth in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and Zhongzhou, and Xu County Ling said that he will compensate your family when the time comes." ”
