Chapter 121: Coming to an End
Don't wade into dirty water, don't know how muddy water is, don't approach barbarians, don't know how evil people are. When she came back this time, Sun Xiaohong suddenly gained knowledge. Ren Haoxuan's complicated family situation has brought a lot of invisible pressure to Sun Xiaohong. Children are all good children, but it's a pity that it's really helpless to be greedy for such parents. After coming back from Ren Haoxuan's house, Sun Xiaohong has never been happy, she wanted to go to Teacher Xu several times to ask what was going on, but she couldn't speak, so she swallowed the words into her stomach and didn't confide in anyone. After all, this is not a good thing, it directly affects Ren Haoxuan's reputation.
For a while, she lost her attention in her heart, and she couldn't be happy when she frowned all day. When Ren Haoxuan came to see her at home again, she always looked at him distraughtly, as if she wanted to find the shadow of his parents from him, but she never found it.
These disorganized things have always plagued her life. She didn't bother to review her homework anymore, and all her books were lazily left to sleep in the sun, and the long summer vacation was wasted. After the adult exam, Sun Xiaohong did not pass the test, she is still the same, she travels more than 20 miles to work and get off work every day, as simple as a bowl of water. Her relationship with Ren Haoxuan is not salty or light, and it is maintained unhurriedly, without much progress.
She had thought of a lot of excuses, wanting to reject his enthusiasm, and finally all of them were overcome by chaotic emotions, and their feelings had developed to this point, she had to admit that Ren Haoxuan's essence was not bad, he had a good development, all because of the selfishness of his parents, which affected his future. She thought about it a lot, and even thought dizzily and couldn't understand why the relationship between them would turn out like this.
A few days before the National Day, Ren Haoxuan suddenly called, he said that he had an urgent matter at home, and his mother had to go home early, so he wouldn't come to pick her up. Sun Xiaohong was very puzzled, thinking that he was bewitched by his mother, so he deliberately said this. She sulked and kept speculating that maybe it was something wrong with her again. She is so strong, like the Empress Dowager Cixi, all day long yin and yang weird invitations to merit and work, and she starts a temper, the whole family is afraid of three points, and I don't know what the hell she is doing behind her back. When Sun Xiaohong thinks of her high-flying and domineering appearance, she will associate her with the most vicious shrew in the village.
Sun Xiaohong is not afraid of her, no matter how powerful she is, no matter how unkind she is, she has to be reasonable. I didn't offend her, and I didn't think his family was poor, what reason did she have for a headache and cold, thinking of this, Sun Xiaohong decided to visit her in person to see what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.
Before going out, Sun Xiaohong deliberately dressed herself from head to toe. She deliberately wore a coffee-colored little daughter-in-law suit made for her by Ren Haoxuan, wore a jujube windbreaker outside, and a pair of high heels, pushed her bicycle, and went to the village flutteringly. She went this time, naturally she would have her purpose, she just wanted to confirm what kind of woman Ren Haoxuan's mother was.
She rode a bicycle and hurried forward, while complaining in her heart: What the hell is this Ren Haoxuan doing behind his back. There is still something to go back first, and even the three-year-old understands what is going on. To put it bluntly, isn't it just to save his mother a few bucks? Hmph, this family is really stingy enough, they love to talk big and make small money, no wonder some people will say that his father thunders loudly and the rain is thin to ridicule them. I'm going to see how they saved that little money today.
Thinking of this, Sun Xiaohong couldn't help but speed up her feet. It was a three-hour journey, and it took her two hours to arrive. She didn't care when she came out of the house, but when she rode to the door, she saw a big red coffin in the empty yard of Ren Haoxuan's house. "What's going on?" She stood there dumbfounded. She clenched the handlebars with both hands, suspicious in her heart, neither entering, nor leaving, was hesitating, and suddenly saw Ren Haoxuan walking out of the house, he stood in front of the coffin with a sideways face and looked at her, and saw Sun Xiaohong standing outside the courtyard, so he walked over quickly: "My grandma was seriously ill yesterday, I was afraid that you would not know it well, so I called to tell you not to come, you are really here!" You must be tired from riding such a long way, so hurry up and go into the house to rest! "Grandma's death is not a good thing after all, and I still don't want her to know. At this time, Ren Haoxuan looked at Sun Xiaohong, who was drenched in sweat, and lowered his voice very low.
Sun Xiaohong felt that it was not good to enter the hospital like this, so she took off the red windbreaker on her body, carefully followed behind Ren Haoxuan, and quietly walked into the door.
Ren Haoxuan's three sisters were all sitting in the room. His eldest sister saw Sun Xiaohong, glanced at her with contempt, and snorted symbolically without hesitation: "You're here!" With that, she grimaced and looked to the side. She is also too capable of pretending, she pretends to be like God, her eyes are empty, as if she always has the supreme right in this family, if anyone dares to annoy her, it is Tai Sui's head that breaks ground, and she must not let her live a good life one day.
"Hmm!" Sun Xiaohong knows his eldest sister. She nodded at her, as if she had already said hello. When she met her eyes again, her heart suddenly cooled. She seemed to see two poisonous tongues, wandering in her sight, and in a flash, the shadow disappeared.
Ren Haoxuan's second sister sat on the kang all the time and did not speak. Under Ren Haoxuan's introduction, Sun Xiaohong took the initiative to say hello to her, and the reaction she got was also a light snort. It seems that she is not much better than her eldest sister, and I don't know what qualifications she has to despise herself. She was fake, smiling without smiling, staring at a pair of grabbed eyes, and kept aiming at the red windbreaker in her hand, as if this dress should not be worn on Sun Xiaohong. They may be jealous, and even look at themselves with an inexplicable hostility and rejection, their unobstructed eyes make Sun Xiaohong feel very awkward, and she is panicked.
She said to herself, "Who are these people?" Their grandmother was about to die, but the sisters were talking and laughing in front of everyone, as if they didn't see any sadness. Sure enough, there are mothers and daughters, and the degree of viciousness they are really immeasurable! Sun Xiaohong sat in the corner, coldly watching them come in and out casually, perfunctory to every neighbor who came to pay their filial piety like acting, and she couldn't help but laugh dumbly in her heart. Unexpectedly, Ren Haoxuan's three sisters are really wonderful.
In the small dark room inside, Ren Haoxuan's grandmother was about to die, her mouth was slightly open, and she was already angry. The room was cold and dusty. The clothes she wore were dirty, smelly, and messy in the corners, like a pile of garbage, and would soon be swept away. She was wearing an inferior shroud and lay there alone, allowing the pace of time to force her life inch by inch to the point where she could not survive.
At dusk, it was getting dark. More and more people came to pay their respects. In the dim light, the room was full of people. Ren Haoxuan's mother saw that there was no movement in the small black room inside, so she pulled Ren Tiezui out of the crowd. She dragged him into the courtyard, tried her best to suppress her emotions, and said, "The old lady is dead, hurry up and carry it to the coffin!" ”
"Shut up, she's not dead yet, you just want to put her in a coffin, what the hell do you want to do?" Ren Tiezui'er's words startled her, she just wanted to roar loudly, but she was afraid of being heard by outsiders, so she was immediately stunned. In these years, if you offend the mountain god, you won't be able to live a good life. For this woman, he is obedient, in front of her, he lowered his worth like a running boy, willing to be ridden by her neck, as a grandson.
Ren Tiezui'er saw that she didn't speak, afraid that she would spill in the yard, so he circled the conversation back: "When I entered the house just now, I deliberately tried her nostrils with my hands, and I felt that she was still panting. Ren Tiezui was a little anxious. No matter how unfilial he is, he can't put his widow and mother paralyzed in the kang into the coffin.
"No, she must be put in the coffin, otherwise, she will have to carry the kang on her back!" I don't know which mountain man she heard about the fallacy and heresy, when the old lady was alive, it was still difficult to walk by herself, and after she died, she could still carry the kang on her back, which was really funny.
"If you want to find someone, you can find someone quickly, and if you delay for a while, she will die on the kang. She was guilty when she was alive, and when she died, she carried the kang on her back, and her sins were even more serious. I don't want to ink with you, so I quickly find someone to carry her to the coffin for me, arm and leg! Her voice became more and more fierce, almost to the point of urgency, Ren Tiezui, who dared to be angry in front of his wife, was afraid of offending his ancestor-level wife, so he could only do it according to the rules.
After the door of the house was pushed open, several men with big shoulders and round waists pulled the corners of the quilt and carried Ren Haoxuan's grandmother from the small black room inside to the coffin, and then an old man who looked like a wizard used some grains and grains to smash the small black house where his grandmother was staying from top to bottom. He smashed it, and there were words in his mouth, as if he had driven his grandmother's soul out of the house.
Sun Xiaohong saw all this. Maybe there's a ghost in my heart. If Ren Haoxuan's mother wasn't afraid, why would she pretend to be a fool and deceive herself. In the end, she is really unfilial. She has no humanity herself, and she imposes all her faults on the ghosts and gods, and she does this, I don't know if she will lose her life.
Ren Haoxuan's grandmother finally swallowed her last breath in the coffin, and no one in the courtyard cried. Her death, like a withered yellow mustard, is not taken seriously by anyone. She didn't struggle, she didn't suffer, like a faint light, blown out by the wind, and in the end she didn't complain a motive. When she was alive, she was obedient, and I hope that after she dies, the world will be peaceful and there will be no more heartache.
