Chapter 100: The Martyrs

Xu's father sacrificed his life for the country and was awarded the title of martyr, but only a few people knew the inside story, and his family saw his ashes.

When they went out, they were still fine, but they said that they were just on a business trip, and when they came back, they became ashes, Xu Lu and Xu's mother couldn't believe it.

When they learned the news, there was still a glimmer of hope, but it was just fake news, until they saw Xu's father's ashes and the extra numbers on the passbook.

Xu's father is not a local, and his ashes should be sent back to his hometown for burial, paying attention to returning to his roots.

Those who are away from home should return to their hometown after death and sleep in their hometown for eternity.

Therefore, the funeral was also held in her hometown, Xu Lu rarely returned to her hometown, and most of her relatives she didn't know.

Relatives who have little contact with each other only show up when they ask for help. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as close as close neighbors, and relatives who have no contact are not as close as neighbors.

Xu Wei's mourning hall is located in the residence of Xu Lu's grandparents.

Xu Lu has two uncles and an aunt, and her grandparents live alone and do not live with anyone.

Originally, she planned to live with her son, but Xu Lu's uncle disagreed, her two uncles were not fuel-efficient lamps, and the second uncle was a well-known shrew, no one dared to have anything to do with her, and whoever wanted to scold a shrew on the street would only lose his identity.

During the mourning period, relatives and friends present, especially the younger generations of the deceased, should take turns to guard the deceased in the mourning hall and accept the condolences of the mourners.

Xu Lu was wearing white burlap clothes without seams, with straw ropes tied around her waist, straw sandals on her feet, and her eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Her father is the pillar of the family and the hero in her heart, the pillar collapsed, the hero is gone, and for the first time I feel the feeling of losing something precious, it is so sad that I can't breathe.

Xu Lu regretted her behavior all along, and she would only know if she had experienced it, but now it was too late.

Xu Lu was in a trance, only hearing her mother's crying, and bowing to the mourners with her mother.

There are sad people who cry bitterly, and there are also people who just come for favors, playing mahjong, playing cards, as entertainment, and some, they start drinking in the daytime.

Xu Lu felt bored, no one was sincere to his father, and his mother was a cowardly person, she only knew how to cry and cry.

"Sister, come here." Xu Lu's uncle is sneakily called Xu Lu's mother.

The two whispered about each other.

"Eldest sister, don't let the insurance money." Xu Lu's uncle told him a thousand times, afraid that Xu Lu's mother would be soft-hearted.

"I also have the obligation to support Xiaolu's grandparents." Xu's mother thinks that they are all a family, although Xu's father died, Xu Lu and her grandparents are still related.

"If you give it to the two elders, you will give it to those two losers, and you can still hear a sound when you are in the water." Xu Lu's uncle spat out, and he was very disdainful of Xu Lu's uncle.

Mother Xu felt that what her brother said was reasonable, but she was afraid of other people's gossip, saying that she didn't care about the life and death of the two elders, after all, Xu's father had just left, and she didn't want to fall out with the Xu family.

Seeing that Xu's mother was hesitant, Xu Lu's uncle persuaded: "It's okay for you to pay an endowment insurance for the two elders." ”

"It's a good idea." Mother Xu immediately agreed.

"Those two boys may be coming to you, take a tougher attitude." Xu Lu's uncle admonished.

In fact, the matter is also simple, that is, Xu's father has an insurance money in addition to the pension, the so-called insurance, is to buy a peace of mind, no one wants to have an accident, but the world is unpredictable. Xu's father's beneficiary is Xu Lu, but Xu Lu is underage, and the money is naturally kept by the guardian Xu's mother.

Xu Lu's two uncles and two aunts soon came to the door.

The two uncles are submissive, and at first glance, they are strict with their wives, and they can't be the masters of the big and small things in the family.

"Sister-in-law, where are your parents?" The second uncle was forced to speak by the second uncle.

"I let the two elders go to rest." Mother Xu replied.

It was getting late, and there were only a few vigilers left, and everyone else went to rest, ready to rest in the middle of the night.

"Sister-in-law, Mingren doesn't say secret words, shouldn't my eldest brother's insurance money be given to my parents." Xu Lu's second uncle is called her grandparents.

"The insurance money is filled in Xiaolu's name, your eldest brother's estate, I will call a lawyer to deal with it, and my parents will definitely not be less." Mother Xu has a resolute attitude, and the inheritance and the security deposit are not confused.

Thanks to Xu Lu's uncle who said it in advance, Xu's mother was able to speak in an orderly manner.

"Eldest sister, if you remarry in the future, how should this be counted?" Xu Lu's second uncle and aunt spoke, worthy of being a famous shrew, and she didn't cover her mouth when she opened her mouth, and Xu's father's bones were not cold, so she talked about Xu's mother's remarriage.

Mother Xu was so angry that her face turned white and red, and she said angrily: "It doesn't matter if you remarry!" ”

"That's not right, you remarried, take Xiaolu with you, and our Xu family's money will go to someone else's house." The third uncle and mother fanned the flames, and several people sang and harmonized, forcing Xu's mother into a desperate situation.

Mother Xu was aggrieved in her heart, her husband had just died, and their orphans and widows were bullied by others, and they almost cried in a hurry.

Xu Lu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "Don't worry about my uncle and aunt, I will soon be an adult, and no one wants to get a point for this money except me." ”

The candle flame blown by the wind swayed, Xu Lu's expression was hidden in the dark, and he couldn't see clearly, a demon wind blew, and several people felt panicked, and their hearts suddenly became cold, and they left in a panic.

The wind stopped, the candle flame cooled again, and Xu's mother saw Xu Lu with a weird smile on her face.

"Xiaolu, don't do anything stupid." Mother Xu hugged Xu Lu hard.

"Mom, don't worry, I just figured it out." Xu Lu comforted Xu's mother in turn.

In the next few days, although Xu Lu was sad, she was strong, and sometimes sat quietly alone.

It's too normal, but it's worrying.

Shen Guangnian took the tablet to repair, but the video was damaged and could not be restored.

He was anxious in his heart, Father Xu's first seven days were almost over, but Li Zaichen had no news and no further action.

What exactly does it do? Or what are you waiting for?

Li Zaichen's actions will not be meaningless, and if he dares to send a video to Shen Guangnian, it shows that his next target is Shen Guangnian.

Shen Guangnian sat in the classroom and heard the sound of rain hitting the window, he usually likes rain very much, and thinks that the rain is to wash away the filth of the world, and the sound of the rain is like playing music.

Now, dark clouds cover the sky, as if his heart is surrounded by a haze, and he can't break free, and can only be blinded by guilt a little bit.

He didn't attend Xu's father's funeral, because in the perception of outsiders, they didn't know each other, and he didn't want to go, so he met Xu's father, and Xu's father was killed, which was obviously a provocation to him, and he was too relaxed, thinking that Li Zaichen would not do it so quickly.

When it was time to get out of school, umbrellas of various patterns bloomed in the rain, Shen Guangnian held an ordinary umbrella and blended into the crowd, but his height was obvious, and he stood out in the crowd, which could be seen at a glance.

After only two steps, Rao Haoyue rushed under his umbrella, it was raining heavily, the rain hit the umbrella and made a loud sound, and the trouser legs were also wet with splashing rain.

Obviously, the space under the umbrella was enough for two people to support together, Rao Haoyue wanted to put her body close to Shen Guangnian, and her hands wet from the rain also took the opportunity to hold Shen Guangnian's hand.

Shen Guangnian was speechless, there was a folding umbrella on the side of the schoolbag, could Rao Haoyue be serious?

"There is an umbrella." Shen Guangnian pointed to her school bag.

Rao Haoyue realized it and took the umbrella.

Because the rain came suddenly, many people did not bring umbrellas and were at a loss under the eaves.

"Who's missing an umbrella?" Rao Haoyue shouted at the crowd.

"Me, me!"

……

A group of people eagerly replied, everyone wanted to go home quickly.

She gave the umbrella to the two girls who were very grateful and thanked them repeatedly.

Turning his head to look at Shen Guangnian as if he was victorious.

Shen Guangnian knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only let her, just hide from the rain, and do a good deed that day.

"You don't have to be sad, just accompany me and wait for the driver to come." Rao Haoyue tried her best to stay by Shen Guangnian's side.

Whoever reads her mind will understand it.

"I should have clearly refused, it's not good for a girl who is too pestering."

"Boys who are too stubborn are even worse!" Rao Haoyue retorted with a smile.

Gradually, the rain gradually subsided, and the streets began to have fewer people, and the sky became darker.

Someone came straight towards the two of them, with an umbrella covering their appearances, and they couldn't see who it was.

The two were vigilant.

The man stopped at a very close distance, and the umbrella moved away, and it was actually Xu Lu.

Shen Guangnian thought to himself, isn't she still in her hometown?

He was about to speak.

Xu Lu's face was hideous, and he took out a sharpened fruit knife and stabbed Shen Guangnian.

Her movements are too clumsy, it's okay to deal with stunned ordinary people, Shen Guangnian will not be frightened.

He hit her wrist, knocked the fruit knife down, kicked her away, and then clamped Xu Lu's hands to subdue her.

Xu Lu knew that Shen Guangnian's physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary people, but this was too foul! She couldn't break free from Shen Guangnian's grip at all, and she couldn't even escape.

"Let go of me, you murderer." Xu Lu was angry, but he still kept his senses, wanting to provoke Shen Guangnian and find an opportunity to escape.

When Shen Guangnian saw Xu Lu, he guessed her intention and came back early, just to seek revenge on him, others didn't know, Xu Lu must know.

Xu's father probably only knew Shen Guangnian's address from Xu Lu's mouth, and Xu Lu also knew that Xu's father came to Shen Guangnian, but she didn't know everything completely, and she didn't know why Xu's father was looking for Shen Guangnian.

Father Xu died not long after looking for Shen Guangnian, and she naturally blamed Shen Guangnian.

"Your father's death has something to do with me, but it's not what you think, so you still don't want to dig into it." Shen Guangnian wanted to keep some of Xu Lu's thoughts and not expose Xu's father's sins.

"If you don't die, I will definitely take revenge!" Xu Lu struggled harder.

"Then come and get revenge, if you can deal with me." Shen Guangnian was like a demon, fearless, and didn't take Xu Lu's threat seriously, he let go and let Xu Lu go.

Xu Lu looked at him viciously, rubbed his reddened wrists, picked up the umbrella that fell on the ground and left, she couldn't catch a cold and get sick, she had to spend it with Shen Guangnian.

"You're too nice!" Rao Haoyue said after watching Xu Lu leave.

Shen Guangnian took all the hatred on himself.

"I couldn't save Xu Wei, at least, to protect his daughter." Shen Guangnian said plainly, the disaster will not affect his family.
