Chapter 5: The Dead Can't Wait for the Living
It seems that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family has been hit hard this time, and she is talking nonsense!
If you don't say who killed Uncle Wang and took the child away, even if you know who did it, you should also find the police instead of me.
Who am I? A junior female college student who is greedy for life and afraid of death and loves vanity!
What can I do to save her son?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the police will definitely be able to get Xiaobei back!" I comforted her and tried hard to break free from her grasp, but she was so excited and angry that it was as if her slap had been welded to my wrist.
At this time, I saw the eldest brother of the Wang family come out, and he was also teary-eyed.
I thought that he was a big man, he should still be sober, so let him drag his wife away quickly!
"Brother Wang...... ”
As soon as I shouted, Brother Wang knelt down in front of me, which made me feel terrible.
"Brother Wang, what are you doing here? Get up and talk! ”
"Xiaoxian, you can save our Xiaobei, my dad is gone, we are this son, if he is gone, how can we live as a couple!"
At this time, my dad came looking for a voice, and when he saw me, the sadness on his face gradually disappeared.
"Little Fairy!"
"Dad!"
My dad came over and saw this battle, so he didn't ask anything, so he said to Brother Wang: "Wang Ming, if we can help with your Xiaobei's affairs, we will definitely help, but you see that my little fairy grandmother is seven today, and the dead are the biggest, and our family is still busy!" ”
Brother Wang nodded after hearing this, and told his daughter-in-law a good story, so my hand was empty!
On the way back, I asked my dad puzzled: "Dad, grandma is only on the third day today, why did you tell Brother Wang that it was the first seven?" ”
His brow furrowed even tighter when I asked him this!
"Xiaoxian, where have you been these days? When I came back and saw that you were nobody, I was so anxious that I called the police! ”
"What? Didn't you call me last night when I was keeping vigil for my grandmother? ”
When my dad heard this, he hurriedly interrupted me, "Yesterday, I called you on the train at 3 a.m. four days ago!" ”
I was confused, how is this possible? I don't remember what happened!
Four days have passed at once, no wonder the eldest brother of the Wang family has returned!
But where did I go that day when I ran out of the butcher's shop in a panic? If I was in town, or if I slept under the kudzu tree, how could the people in the town not notice me?
"Uncle, hello, may I ask if the old man Feng lives here?"
At this time, the strangers also came, and it was still the woman who asked questions.
I see that they are all dressed very fashionably and decently, and they are not locals, let alone the kind of people who believe in Qimen Dunjia, but why would they come all the way to visit my dead grandmother?
"Guan Renfeng is the mother, do you have anything wrong?" My dad pulled me aside, and he had the air of a head of the family.
The woman smiled when she heard my dad answer, and her eyes fell on me. "It turns out that this girl is really the granddaughter of the official lady, there was a lot of offense in my friend's words just now, sister, you forgive me!"
I didn't answer her.
Compared to her, I can also see that my dad is also wearing filial clothes, and this time it is definitely not fooling her!
"Mrs. Guan...... ”
"My mother has passed away, if you want to find her and ask the spirit, go back!" My dad didn't want to say more, so he pulled me and walked towards the door of the house.
There are a few helpers in my yard who have come to cook at their expense, and they are also busy at this time and are walking outside.
"Dad, what's going on?" I pointed to the empty mourning hall, where Aunt Zhang was closing.
"Don't ask, your grandmother is already in the ground, you just need to come back safely now!"
I immediately sensed what my dad was hiding, how could he go out of the funeral without waiting for me to come back?
"Xiaoxian, it's seven today, the auspicious day for your grandmother to enter the earth is yesterday, the dead can't wait for the living, don't ask more!"
After my dad finished speaking, he took a box of cigarettes out of his shirt pocket and sat on the threshold of my house and smoked it.
Aunt Zhang walked over and said with a look of blame: "I said Xiaoxian, where have you been in the past few days?" Your grandmother's death is such a big event, you actually ran outside? Your dad and I are about to turn this town upside down! ”
I call this woman my aunt, in fact, she is my stepmother, my own mother died when she gave birth to me, when I was eight years old, my father married this Aunt Zhang, the two of them had always wanted to have another child, but after so many years, they have not been able to do so.
They have always lived in the city, I only moved there when I was in high school, but as soon as I was on vacation, I went back to this Baishan town to accompany my grandmother.
Over the years, Aunt Zhang has rarely returned to her hometown in Baishan Town, and the number of times she has seen my grandmother is even more limited, and if it wasn't for my grandmother's death this time, she wouldn't have shown up at all.
So these days she has to be busy, I must be aggrieved, in order not to make my father uncomfortable, I didn't pay attention to her, turned around to go to the statue of grandma in the hall, burned a stick of incense, and said in a panic: "Grandma, you know in heaven, Xiaoxian didn't deliberately not come to see you off for the last ride!" ”
After three more knocks, I heard a "bang", and just like the sound in the mourning hall last time, something fell from the altar.
When I looked up, it was still my grandmother's mahogany cane!
Didn't I put it back in the coffin that day? Why is it still here?
I picked it up right away and wanted to go out and ask my dad what was going on.
But before I stepped out of the house, I heard Aunt Zhang saying to my father: "Husband, when I came back that day, I heard the neighbors say that Baishan Town is going to build a tourist town, and the house here may be able to sell for a good price, and now my mother is also gone, let's find a good buyer before we go back this time, right?" ”
"What day is it, you say this?" My dad smoked and didn't speak very well.
"What day? Why can't you say that? It's only a few days to come back from such a distance, of course, you have to do serious things! Aunt Zhang disagreed, she was always the master who had no ghosts and gods in her heart, and only lived for money.
My dad replied to her directly: "This house is my mother's house, and now that she is gone, the heir is Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian is now an adult, and Xiaoxian has to be willing to sell it if she wants to sell it." ”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she was very surprised.
"Your mother is really, how can the house be given to Xiaoxian? You are her own son, she didn't give it to you, she gave it to ......"
"Are you finished?" Now my dad is really hot!
Aunt Zhang's temper is not so simple to be shocked by my father, I looked out from the crack in the door of the hall, and saw her pointing at my father's head with one hand on her waist and the other hand and howling: "What are you yelling at?" What are you yelling at? For so many years, we have provided her with food, shelter, and college, and what she is not ours, why do we have to get her consent? Let me tell you, Guan Wanshan, I have been married to your family for so many years of hard work, being a cow and a horse, and you treat me like this? Is your conscience eaten by dogs? ”
