Chapter Seventy-Three: A Hot Potato
The people surnamed Xu in Tiantai Township are all members of the Xu family, and there are many people who come to offer incense. Those who had some friendship with the Wang family in the past also stayed to help.
This funeral was very lively.
There was a commotion outside the door, and the two sisters-in-law of the Wang family helped Father Wang in, and everyone silently made way for them.
In the final analysis, it was the people of the Xu family who killed the Wang family.
"Son! Why are you so miserable......" Father Wang held the coffin and burst into tears, crying breathlessly. The two sisters-in-law had complicated expressions, and only persuaded Father Wang not to be too sad.
For Wang, they can't wait for her to die. If it weren't for her prodding, how could their men have suffered such a great sin? Without two strong laborers, the life of the Wang family was very difficult.
It's just that this is just a thought, and I really don't want Wang to die.
Hearing the news of Wang's death, Mrs. Wang's eyes rolled and she fainted, and the family hurriedly sought medical advice for her. After a busy night, Mrs. Wang relieved herself, but she couldn't get out of bed.
They had no choice but to mourn with their father-in-law first.
The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, no matter what evil Wang did during his lifetime, this scene looked very miserable.
Hearing that the people of the Wang family were coming, Li Zheng hurried over.
"It's very good to look at the two of them on weekdays, and no one thought that Xu Jinshui would do such a thing." Li Zheng sighed and said: "The case has also been reported, please rest assured, we will not let Xu Jinshui go unpunished, and the sea fishing documents will come down in the near future." ”
"He can't go far without a guide."
"yes, that dog thing! I have to pay for my daughter's life! Daddy Wang wiped his tears and gritted his teeth. If I knew this was the case, how could I have promised my daughter to him? I was really blind back then. ”
"Yes, yes." Li is accompanied by a smiling face. This matter is indeed the fault of the Xu family, and he has to coax the Wang family well. Otherwise, if the Wang family makes trouble, where will he, who is also the patriarch, put his face?
Speaking of this, he said cautiously: "Look, old man, there is no adult in this family, only your two grandsons are left." The two of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to live this life. ”
Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law of the Wang family changed color and glanced at each other.
How? This Xu family still wants to push the two children to their own family? No, this is definitely not possible!
Without waiting for Father Wang to speak, the sister-in-law of the Wang family said: "Since their surname is Xu, they are from the Xu family." Don't you know, they haven't been close to other families since they were children, and they even miss your Xu family when they go back to their parents' house for the New Year. ”
"Isn't it?" The second sister-in-law of the Wang family helped, "We are outsiders, how can we take care of the affairs of your Xu family." ”
The sister-in-law of the Wang family leaned down and whispered beside Father Wang: "Dad, you can't be soft-hearted. My mother is still sick, don't you know how much money we have in our family? With two more boys with long bodies, my mother's illness will be incurable. ”
Daddy Wang couldn't bear to look at the two children, this is the good grandson he has seen since he was a child.
"You see, the people of the Xu family are all here, and they are at fault." The sister-in-law of the Wang family continued to persuade: "We don't care, the Xu family will also take care of it, they can't afford to lose that person." ”
She didn't want to take these two people back, and one of them was still a fool!
Father Wang also came back to his heart, and cried with Li Zheng: "You also know that my two sons have been guilty, and now I can't even see each other." He said that he was digging coal, but there was no news. ”
"I'm here to see my daughter for the last time, and my wish is granted. I'll leave the rest to you. With that, he got up and left.
Xu Guangzong buried his head and said nothing, he knew that he was once again treated as a hot potato.
What affection? It's ridiculous!
Because it was summer, Wang's body began to decompose, and the time for burial was set for the next day. Xu Sanchun and the dumb lady are here to help, and Li Zheng moved a room for them to live temporarily.
Originally, Xu Sanchun was still a little worried, after all, this is Lizheng's house, and what will happen if he lives under the same roof with Xu Mingjun.
For her, the emotional entanglement between Xu Mingjun and the original owner has dissipated with the death of the original owner. Xu Mingjun is not even a passerby to her.
But fortunately, on the night of the stay, Xu Mingjun did not appear from beginning to end.
On the second day, Wang was buried. Xu Guangzong followed behind the coffin with a clay basin, and people sprinkled white guide money along the way to lead the soul to the west.
After the funeral, Li Zheng took advantage of the fact that all the Xu family members were there, and talked about the whereabouts of the two brothers of Xu Guangzong.
"I know what you think, but if you can't make a name for yourself today, everyone will stand here and don't disperse." He spoke with a calm face and took out the authority of the patriarch.
The people below muttered and complained.
"Say whatever you want out loud, don't complain from below." Li Zheng raised his voice.
Suddenly, a woman said in a loud voice: "You are a good man, a big family, wouldn't it be good if you took them in?" What to do to beat our minds, we can't afford to be idiots. ”
With her at the head, the voices of the crowd suddenly became louder, and the gossip was endless.
Several clan elders were silent, and the front sank like water.
Xu Sanchun shook his head, took a step forward, and said, "I have an idea, do you want to listen to it?" She was not the same as before, and when she spoke, she immediately became quiet.
The woman smiled flatteringly: "What Sanchun said must be reasonable, please speak quickly." ”
"Although my aunt passed away, as far as I know, the Xu family still has some family background. If nothing else, that house alone is worth a lot of money. "The Xu family's house was repaired by Xu Jinshui after he became a steward, and it took a lot of thought, and the furniture in it was all good.
Xu Guangzong raised his head in surprise, could it be that she wanted to hit her own house?
He was not the only one who thought so, but the other clansmen also had ideas in their hearts. No wonder Xu Sanchun was willing to handle the aftermath for the Wang family, and said that she was affectionate and righteous, but she didn't expect it to be the idea.
Xu Sanchun looked at everyone's expressions and smiled disdainfully. She wants to get as far away from this house as possible, and fight its idea? It's ridiculous.
Her gaze swept over everyone and continued, "However, even if there is a house, it is not suitable for the two of them to live there, and someone has to take care of it. ”
"So, I propose that those who are willing to take care of them move to that house. When they marry a daughter-in-law, and divide a sum of money so that they can be self-reliant, this house belongs to that family. ”
Hearing her proposal, many people were moved.
"Of course, if you don't want to live in it, you can sell the house. This money was deposited in the hands of Master Li Zheng as maintenance for the two of them. ”
In this way, not only will the two of them be raised for nothing, but also the silver will be taken out. And, it looks like it's not a fortune. Isn't it a big deal to add two pairs of chopsticks to your home?
