(367) Terrible facts
Jingrou really didn't believe in these bizarre things before, and she grew up in an education that was generally against superstitious activities, and it can be said that she was basically an atheist, but since the death of her grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother, she has to be sure of one thing, that is, after the death of her relatives, she will still miss her relatives who are still alive in the world. So although it sounded like the words of the Inoue couple were indeed a little unbelievable, as if they were a ghost story made up on purpose, she still didn't have a trace of doubt in her deep belief, plus the couple has always been so kind and honest, and they have no reason to go to the funeral to make up these nonsense to scare Jingrou, the bitter master, and make the old friend Yamaguchi uneasy. So Jingrou has been listening to the description of the Inoue couple very seriously, and from time to time she counts the number of people who fall into the mountain pass, saying that her husband should not frighten her old friend, and also comforted the frightened and devastated couple, and after talking about these things, she warmly invited the Inoue couple to say that they must stay and finish dinner before leaving.
Immediately after the funeral ceremony began, Jingrou once again read another very difficult manuscript as a representative of the family, and the employee representative of Yamaguchi and her three precious daughters stood in front of the altar facing Yamaguchi's tablet and read aloud the eulogy they had written for Yamaguchi according to the instructions of the host.
Looking at the backs of the three daughters, who were thinner than the other, and listening to every word they said to Yamaguchi, Jingrou's tears began to flow uncontrollably again, because the kind of distress and unbearable stabbing her heart strongly, it really made her feel more painful than Yamaguchi's death. When all the rituals were completed one by one, and only the last thing left was that everyone had finished putting flowers in the coffin and was about to completely cover the coffin and send it to the crematorium, Jingrou suddenly did something that seemed almost crazy in front of everyone. Jingrou didn't let everyone cover the coffin immediately, she impulsively threw herself on Yamaguchi's body and gave her husband a long kiss, and then she finally howled out of control.
The people present witnessed this touching and pitiful everything, and they couldn't help but leave tears in an instant, and Xinxin, who cried softly until tears flowed down her face, ran to her side and persuaded her for a long time before finally stopping. Despite her reluctance, Jingrou watched the coffin being covered, and she could no longer see Yamaguchi's always expressive face, so she had no choice but to send her husband to the crematorium.
I don't know why, yesterday it was still a sunny sky and hot weather, but this morning there was a storm and thunder, but Jingrou mother and daughter didn't even hear a sound, and it was the friends who came to the funeral who said that they only knew. At this moment, on the way to the crematorium, the storm had already turned into a drizzle, but the weather became wet and cold and gloomy, which made Jingrou's already sad mood even heavier.
The convoy finally arrived at its destination, and the staff who had been waiting there immediately took the coffin and led everyone into the designated crematorium. Jingrou stood at the front of the crowd, resisting the urge to stop all this, and watched with tears in her eyes as the door to the cremation furnace was mercilessly shut.
Because it took a while, everyone was taken to the rest area by the staff, and everyone waited for the announcement while eating and drinking. Jingrou was called aside alone with Akane Noguchi and Aya Matsuo, listened to the staff's explanation in detail, and then went to the cremation furnace with everyone again.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Jing Rou was no longer the luxurious golden coffin, but a simple altar, a specially made table, on which was placed a large box of white flowers, which made her feel a tingling and unbearable broken bones in her heart as soon as she saw it.
The staff put a painted porcelain altar that Jingrou had chosen before next to the broken bones, and then instructed everyone to work in pairs to put the pinched bones into the porcelain altar one by one with special chopsticks. After all the people were done, a staff member wore gloves and carefully put all the remaining broken bones into the porcelain altar. Jingrou kept staring at the staff member's hands, fearing that he would break a piece of Yamaguchi's bones, and told him to put all the bone powder in the big box with a brush.
Finally, everything in the crematorium was over, and Jing Rou, along with her three daughters and the pair of sisters, each holding something in their hands, returned to the venue of the funeral company. The last thing I want to do here is to invite my friends and relatives who helped today to have a meal to express Jingrou's gratitude to everyone. Because she finally sent Yamaguchi away, everyone had a good time, and in the end, Jingrou didn't use any more speeches, and she was very excited to say a word of thanks to everyone. Although Jingrou was too excited and didn't know that she was wrong at first, she expressed her most sincere gratitude to everyone in her own way. The people who can come to eat are the people closest to Yamaguchi, and everyone not only doesn't care, but also cheers for Jingrou, hoping that she can be strong and brave enough to live happily with her daughters in the future.
Bidding farewell to everyone holding Yamaguchi's urn and carrying a cart of flowers, the mother and daughter drove Yamaguchi's car home silently under the light rain. At this moment, it was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, everything had been arranged, and countless flowers had been arranged, Jingrou finally felt that she had completed a big thing, thinking that she had finally let the mountain pass leave in a beautiful way, and she was finally worthy of her husband's love for her.
However, Jingrou didn't know, and never thought that after the funeral, it didn't mean that the matter was over, and everything she had to face after Yamaguchi's death was like putting her in purgatory on earth, making her suffer from now on. For Jingrou, the real nightmare has just kicked off at this moment, and the next terrible facts have completely shattered the sweet dream that Yamaguchi created for her.
The first accident was at the end of the funeral, Yamaguchi's car was driven away directly by the company's people, and Jingrou originally planned to let Xinxin contact her to sell the car and use the money from the sale of the car to live for a few months. Because Yamaguchi has told Jingrou many times that the car will be hisher when he retires, but the people in the company said that the car belongs to the company, and if Yamaguchi does this, he wants to buy the car when he retires. This explanation made Jingrou really feel a little embarrassed, she could only smile and say that maybe she didn't understand what Yamaguchi meant, and then she could only watch their orphans and widows live for a few months, and they were driven away directly in front of her.
Because I heard from everyone, especially the daughter of Yamaguchi, told Jingrou that the ashes of the Japanese after death can only be placed in the cemetery after 49 days at home, and there is a death day, and the tablet of the deceased must also be placed on the altar at home, so Jingrou must buy the cemetery and altar before this day. However, Jingrou did not have any money at her disposal, and she had to use the little gift money she had to maintain all the expenses of the family and pay for Yamaguchi's last hospitalization.
Jingrou thought that the funeral was so grand, Matsuo Aya and Noguchi Akane both told her that the expenses were all paid by the company, and she could receive some gift money anyway, but when it came to settling the accounts, she learned that the company only helped her pay part of the expenses, and she had to pay the rest herself. As a result, although Jingrou did get some gift money, the amount was pitiful, but despite this, she was still very grateful to the old sensible, after all, if she left such a big matter to her to do it herself, Jingrou might not even be able to come up with the money to buy a coffin for Yamaguchi!
After the funeral, Jing Rou and Xinxin looked at several cemeteries, but she couldn't afford to pay such a high price, just the price of buying a cemetery with nothing was already terrifying, let alone having to buy an equally expensive tombstone, which she couldn't afford with her current financial situation with no income at all. In the end, Jingrou had no choice but to choose a new type of cemetery that did not have to pay management fees and did not need to buy tombstones, and even then she had to make an appointment first, and could only wait for the money from Yamaguchi's selling company to buy it. The same is true for the altar, although the price is not as scary as the cemetery, but it is definitely not cheap, so Jingrou can only choose a moderately priced altar with affordable accessories and make an appointment.
Because the old chairman used to take care of everything, he would help with everything, and Imai was the most powerful subordinate of the Yamaguchi company, so Jingrou asked the old chairman with full authority, and has been with the help of Imai to handle all matters after Yamaguchi's death. But when this was done, Jingrou finally knew the terrible truth she was about to face, and she was finally disappointed to find out that her husband, who had lived together so wholeheartedly for more than ten years, turned out to be a big liar who was full of lies.
I remember the first time Yamaguchi took Jingrou to visit the branch, he was ashamed to tell Jingrou that he was the boss of that company. Later, after Jingrou took Jiayi to settle in Japan, she learned that Yamaguchi was not the owner of the trading company, but the owner of a transportation company. At that time, Jingrou had a feeling of being deceived, but the wood was already in the boat, and Yamaguchi took Xinxin to his side again, and later there was Jiayue, so Jingrou didn't blame him for lying, but still lived with him wholeheartedly. Yamaguchi has been telling Jingrou that he is the owner of the transportation company, and that the old chairman's trading company is his biggest customer, and they work together as a team with several companies. But this is not the case, it is only at this moment that Jingrou finally knows the truth of the facts, it turns out that Yamaguchi is not a real boss, he is just a branch executive in the old sensible trading company. Not only does the company have nothing to do with Yamaguchi himself, but he, the boss, doesn't even have a stake in it, and he's a complete wage earner.
Jingrou had thought that Yamaguchi had told herself during her serious illness that he had sold the company to the old chairman's trading company and would definitely leave a sum of money for herself and her daughters, so this fact was really difficult for her to accept. But these are nothing at all, and even more terrifying is still to come, Jingrou searched all the bank accounts in Yamaguchi's name, only to find that she was disappointed again to find that not only did her husband promise not even a penny of deposit, but also received several loan reminders one after another.
