Volume 1 Chapter 16 The Funeral Hall Farce
As soon as Lin Xia's words fell, everyone in the courtyard began to talk about it, and they didn't even know Lin Xia, let alone them.
"Isn't your grandmother also our mother? He is your second uncle, I am your second aunt, how can this old lady not come when she dies? After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she glanced at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man was about to step into the hall, who knew that Lin Xia did not move, and stood at the door of the hall.
"What do you mean, eldest niece?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Shangxiang can wait, it's either relatives and friends or neighbors who come here, I want to know what is the relationship between the two and my grandmother?" Although Lin Xia's voice was low, his tone was very firm.
"Yo! Eldest niece, why are you asking such a foreign question? We are the son and daughter-in-law of the old lady, what do you say is the relationship? The middle-aged woman said in a sharp voice.
Lin Xia shook his head, "I've never heard that my grandmother has another son besides my father, and there is no one else in our family's household registration book, who are you?" ”
When her grandmother died, Lin Xia, who was already heartbroken, would definitely not let people come over to make trouble inexplicably, and these two people didn't look like they were here to mourn.
"This kid, I'm your second uncle, she's your second aunt, and your grandmother is really old and confused, how can you say that? Don't recognize your own son? The middle-aged man said.
The man's words provoked the dissatisfaction and angry scolding of a courtyard of people.
"How do you prove it?" Lin Xia still asked, without the slightest intention of letting go of the door.
"Proof?" The middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged woman, and the woman's eyes motioned to his pocket, "Oh, yes, proof yes, this is proof!" The middle-aged man pulled out an old photo from his pocket of a family of four, a young couple, with a boy standing next to them and a boy in a woman's arms.
Lin Xia recognized that the couple in the photo was her grandparents when they were young, and the boy standing was her father, the boy in his arms......
Lin Xia looked up at the middle-aged man, and there seemed to be a bit of resemblance between his eyebrows.
"How? Isn't that proven? This is your grandparents, this is your father, and this is me! The middle-aged man looked at the people around him proudly, "I'm your second uncle, I can't be wrong!" ”
Everyone in the courtyard was watching, no one spoke, but everyone's face was covered with anger, at first these two people cried as soon as they entered the door, they cried and called their mother, who pulled and beat whom, it looked like they were here to make trouble, no one expected that this person was Lin Xia's second uncle and two sons.
"What a picture says!" Lin Xia said softly, "Even if you are really my second uncle, why did my grandmother never tell me, and my father never mentioned it?" And Grandma didn't see you when she was alive? ”
"That's because ......" The middle-aged man paused as soon as he spoke, he couldn't say that Lin Xia's father had worked hard to earn the money to treat his grandfather's illness and save his life, he stole all of it, and then ran away.
After running for a few days, he heard that the old man died, and he didn't dare to come back, recently someone told him that the old lady died, and Lin Xia's parents died in a car accident a few years ago, and now when Lin Xia is left alone, he came back, the purpose is very simple, it is now the house left by Lin Xia's grandmother.
"That's because I've been out for many years, and when I heard the news outside, I came back, and they actually forgot about me, and now no one knows that there is a son like me, this old lady is really too much!" The middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly.
Lin Xia sneered, although she was only one person left now, not everyone could come to pinch and rub the round.
These two people dare to show up now, isn't it because they are left alone, they feel that they are easy to bully, and there are benefits to be gained?
"In that case, why are you coming back?" Lin Xia's tone was not polite at all.
"Huh? How can you speak, child? The middle-aged woman said unhappily, "The old lady is dead, isn't it right for the son to come back?" Could it be that the old lady left behind the things, money, and houses, you want to be alone! ”
As soon as the middle-aged woman's words came out, the neighbors in the yard were discussed, and then they scolded, "Liar! Look at Xia Xia, there is only one person left, what's the matter with bullying? ”
"That's it, it doesn't look like a good person, we haven't heard of this person in the Lin family after living here for so many years!"
"Call the police, Xia Xia! They are definitely liars! ”
"Get them out!"
"I see which of you dares!" The middle-aged man took out a kitchen knife from his pocket and raised it to his neck, "I see which of you dares, you have to take care of our own family's affairs!" ”
The people around were startled by the middle-aged man's actions, and instinctively stopped, and for a while the courtyard was quiet and could be heard falling pins.
Gu Shen, who hadn't left yet, had a cold face, turned his head and glanced at a person outside the courtyard, the man nodded and left, Gu Shen was still quietly observing not far away.
Lin Xia was also startled, but she suddenly smiled, "Are you really my second uncle?" ”
"Big niece, can this be fake?" The middle-aged woman looked at everyone and was frightened, and hurriedly said with a smile on her face, the people still leaned over to Lin Xia's side, Lu Yu stepped forward and blocked in front of Lin Xia, "Who are you?" Ben, the middle-aged woman, was very upset.
"It's really my second uncle's words, why did grandma never say that there was a son like you, and my dad never said that there was a brother like you? It's really my second uncle's words, why weren't you there when my grandfather died, why didn't you see anyone when my parents left, and now that my grandmother has also passed away, you are here? Hehe......" Looking at the two of them whose faces gradually changed, Lin Xia walked forward step by step, forcing the mother to retreat step by step.
Lin Xia continued: "If it is really my second uncle, you will now say that you want the house here in front of your grandmother who has just passed away, and you are not afraid that grandma will come to you in the middle of the night!" ”
What Lin Xia said was polite at all, what if it was really his second uncle? Now it's not easy for anyone to want this house, this is the place where grandparents and parents left her the best memories, and somehow a person wants to come and want, it's really a daydream!
"How do you speak? How can you say that he is also your second uncle, the old lady is dead, how can the rest of the family not have his share, you want to swallow it alone at a young age, and you are not afraid of choking! The middle-aged woman's words were so shameless that they were almost snatched.
"Alone?" Lin Xia stopped Uncle Zhao who was about to step forward, "I'll swallow it alone, what can you do?" Do you want to make trouble? Lu Yu! Lin Xia shouted, "Call the police!" Let's just say that someone is making trouble in my family's mourning hall and extorting money! ”
"You ......" The middle-aged woman thought that Lin Xia was a weak woman who was easy to bully, but she didn't expect to be so tough, and she couldn't speak for a while.
At this time, seven or eight black-clothed people came in from outside the courtyard, without saying a word, they stepped forward and pulled the middle-aged man and woman out of the courtyard gate, and the two of them were pulled away before they even had time to scream, and looked out of the yard, and saw these people twisting the two of them to kneel on the ground, and talking to the policeman who happened to come to the police, and then the police stuffed the two into the police car, and drove away with a whistle all the way.
Lin Xia looked at Gu Shen, Gu Shen was also looking at her, nodded slightly, turned his head and left.
"Xia Xia!" All the people gathered around and looked at Lin Xia with concern.
Lin Xia bowed slightly, "Thank you uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts have helped, I, Lin Xia, am here to bow to everyone!" ”
"Don't say that, Xia Xia, just say anything, no one can bully you, grandma is gone, and all of us!" Uncle Zhao hurriedly stopped Lin Xia, Lin Xia nodded, and went back to the hall, accompanied by Lu Yu and Chen Sihan, and continued to kneel in front of the spirit to burn paper money.
Lin Xia's heart was very sad, and she silently spoke to her grandmother, "Grandma, look, is that person really your son?" You're not here, so you want to bully me, but don't worry, your granddaughter is not a soft persimmon, even if he is really your son, I won't recognize him, since you haven't mentioned it, I guess you should treat him as if he doesn't exist...... I know, did he do something sorry for his family back then, and was kicked out by you? Surely yes, you were too soft-hearted to have broken his leg if you knew it would be like this...... Grandma, you have a spirit in heaven, just look at me, how much I miss you......"
Lin Xia muttered in her mouth, her tears couldn't hold back again, and they fell down one after another, the filial piety clothes on her body were wet, Chen Sihan and Lu Yu also wiped their eyes together, what a good old man, just leave like that, no one jokes with them like her, and tells little secrets in private.
Lu Yu looked at Lin Xia's appearance and couldn't help but say: "Lin Xia, grandma told me before, let me take good care of you in the future, I also want to tell you, don't refuse me again, let me take care of you in the future!" ”
Chen Sihan is not surprised at all, Lin Xia has been rejecting Lu Yu since her sophomore year, the relationship between the three of them has always been very good, Lu Yu is good to Lin Xia Chen Sihan also sees it, and she also hopes that Lin Xia and Lu Yu can come together.
"Lin Xia, grandma also told me, what Lu Yu has done to you over the years, we have all seen it, don't refuse him anymore, and let grandma rest assured, okay?" Chen Sihan persuaded.
Lin Xia's hand burning paper money paused, and then continued, "I know, I know it in my heart, but now I don't have any thoughts, can I talk about it later?" Help me get my grandma away first! ”
Chen Sihan nodded, and Lu Yu was also silent, it was indeed not the right time to mention this at this time, but he really wanted to help Lin Xia share more.
Lin Xia's grandmother's mourning hall was set up at home for three days, and then she arranged to go to the crematorium, everyone thought that Lin Xia would cry nonstop, but unexpectedly, Lin Xia seemed unusually calm and personally pressed the button of the incinerator.
Seeing that the fire ignited instantly, Lin Xia said in a small but unusually clear voice: "Grandma, go all the way!" I know that you are really going to enjoy happiness this time, you will never be tortured again, you must be good over there, smile and bless your granddaughter, granddaughter will not let you down, you must be happy in the future, happy, if you can see grandpa and parents, just say that granddaughter is very strong, let them rest assured! Grandma, go with confidence! ”
Lin Xia's appearance moved the people who watched, almost all of them couldn't help crying, Lin Xia's small body stood in front of the crematorium, lonely, but his back was straight, just looking at the fire in the stove jumping, just like grandma really heard what she said and beckoned to her.
