When Lin Haihai came, the old man had already returned to the west.

She said to Yin Le: "Life and death are fate, look away." ”

Yin Le nodded silently, "I knew that there was this day, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and this reunion dinner, everyone in the house has spent a lot of thought." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately burst into tears, and said while crying: "Before the old lady died, she also said that she wanted to eat stewed soft-shelled turtle and braised pork, and he said that he was very hungry, old aunt and grandmother, why are you so ruthless?" Anyway, the Liu family also has the grace of nurturing you, why do you want the old lady to die and be a starving ghost? ”

Liu Jiti grabbed the butler's collar, and said angrily with red eyes: "What did you say? ”

Yin Le glanced at Liu Jidi and said, "Let him go!" ”

Liu Heti put down the housekeeper and stomped his feet: "You said it!" ”

It was Xiao Zhuzi who told the thief about stealing things, and the thief was the old aunt and grandmother Liu Yanxiang, and she stepped on the old man's body, and the old man couldn't live this year.

Everyone was furious, and they all accused Liu Yanxiang one after another.

Liu Jiti said angrily: "This slut, I will definitely not let her go!" ”

Yin Le stood up, his face was cold, and said, "If you want to quarrel, go out and quarrel, don't let the old man not rest in peace." I have already promised the old man to let her go, and you have heard that. It doesn't matter if Liu Yanxiang comes back or not, or if you see her outside, you can't seek revenge in private, just come back and tell me, and I will deal with it. ”

Liu Jidi was stunned, "Dad just asked you to let go of that slut?" Didn't he know that the slut had killed him? ”

Yin Le was furious, "Get out!" ”

Seeing that Yin Le was angry, everyone didn't dare to speak anymore, but in fact, as soon as the old man lost his breath, there was a lot of trouble here, which was indeed contrary to the old man's instructions before he died.

They knelt down again and wept uncontrollably.

Yin Le said to Yan Hui and the housekeeper: "You come out, I have something to explain to you." ”

The two followed Yin Le out, and the three of them discussed how to handle the white matter.

The housekeeper said: "At least you have to mourn after the second day of the new year, on the first day of the new year, people have to come to the incense because of their feelings, but on the first day of the new year, it is inevitable that some people will feel unlucky!" ”

Yin Le pondered for a while and said: "The third day of the Lunar New Year is Chikou, it is not suitable to mourn, and most people in Chikou do not go out, and the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the merchants in the capital welcome the God of Wealth, and it is not good to mourn." In this way, after the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a funeral, and when the funeral is held, it is said that the funeral will be handled in a low-key manner, and if it is inconvenient for anyone to come, our family will understand. ”

"It's good!" The housekeeper wiped his tears, "Then, early tomorrow morning, I will go to Fa'en Temple to ask the master to come over and fast and recite the scriptures!" ”

"Hmm!" Yin Le nodded, looked at Yan Hui and said: "All the things will be handed over to you and your sister-in-law, the two of you must do things beautifully, the general manager of white affairs needs to be experienced and reliable, and the silver does not need to be stingy, just let the old man leave with peace of mind, so that outsiders don't underestimate the Liu family because the old man is gone." ”

Yan Hui said sadly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it properly." ”

Overnight, all the festive red lanterns in the house were replaced with white lanterns, the red paper-cut paste was about to be peeled off before it dried, and the rows of red colored stripes hanging in the courtyard were now all removed.

The embroidery girls and maids in the house rushed to sew mourning clothes overnight. There was a cry in the house, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was removed, and the cook boiled a pot of meat porridge and distributed it to each room so that everyone could eat some warm food.

Shoutou cried for a long time and didn't stop, and he didn't want to eat porridge, no matter how Xiaoxiang and Xiaojiu persuaded him, he didn't listen.

Mo Yan saw that he was still sick, and he must be seriously ill when he cried like this, so he went to invite Yin Le back, Yin Le saw him crying endlessly, and was a little angry, so he stepped forward and scolded, "Do you want your grandfather to go and go uneasy?" He thought about you before he died, and he wanted him to worry about him after death? ”

Shou Tou raised his red and swollen eyes and looked at Yin Le, and said with a sob: "Sister, I just think that grandpa is gone, I feel sad, I don't want to make grandpa feel uneasy, I miss him." ”

Yin Le saw his sad and timid appearance, his heart softened, so he sat beside him and said: "Grandpa's most beloved person is you, you must be angry, be strong, uphold grandpa's teachings in the past, learn from Mr. well, be obedient, and be a useful person." ”

"Sister, grandpa is dead, will you die too?" Shou Tou asked sadly, for the first time since he knew it, he had been close to the death of a loved one, and in addition to sadness, there was also great fear.

Yin Le sighed slightly and said, "No, my sister will always be with you." ”

"Really?" Shoutou had stopped crying, but his eyes were red and swollen.

Yin Le nodded, coaxed for a while, Shoutou stopped crying, took the medicine, and fell asleep groggily.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I invited the master to collect the old man, wash his face and wipe his body, put on makeup and clothes, cover it with a longevity quilt, and park it in the house.

After breakfast, the housekeeper said to Yin Le: "I asked the old lady what he meant last night, saying that this year's New Year's money is one hundred taels of silver for the master and the girl, and the fifth grandmother is still going on with this matter?" ”

When Zhang Baojuan heard this, he said coldly: "Everyone is dead, what else do you give for the New Year?" Besides, the New Year's money given to the girls in previous years was only one or two pieces of silver, so why give one hundred taels this year? People are dead, you can say anything! ”

"Yes, what else do you say that even the master girl is a hundred taels, and she is not afraid of laughing at the dead when she says this, what is the identity of the girl? It's already a lot to give one or two pieces of silver, you look at other people, which one is not a few copper plates and sent away? One hundred taels was given to them, and they didn't have to do it for the next few years. ”

Zhang Baojuan used to be mean, and she said that she would give a few copper plates, and only she could give it herself. So when everyone heard her words, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

Sun Shaoying also didn't agree to give a hundred taels, she stood up and said: "Although it is the old man's order before his death, but giving a hundred taels of New Year's money to the girls is something that has never been done before, who knows if there are some people with ill intentions, seeing that the old man is gone, he is here to take advantage of the fire to rob, just like the shameless slut." ”

The shameless slut she said refers to Liu Yanxiang, everyone didn't like Liu Yanxiang in the past, but the old man valued her, so he didn't dare to do anything, and now she has committed such a thing, but the old man has to protect her before he dies, so these women and families have insulted her with the most vicious language.

The housekeeper blushed and confessed, "Second Madam, what are you talking about me?" I swear I didn't tell half a lie, otherwise the old lady in the spirit of heaven would not let me go. ”

Sun Shaoying sneered, "Now that the people are gone, you swear to the ghosts?" There is no witness for this, you say that the old lady said it, and I said that he didn't say it! ”

The housekeeper looked at Yin Le with some excitement, "Fifth Grandma Mingjian, Xiao Zhuzi was also listening to the old lady when she said this, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xiao Zhuzi." If the fifth grandmother and the second lady doubt me, I don't want the silver, but the old lady told me so when he was alive, and I have to say it. ”

Before Yin Le could speak, Zhang Baojuan said again: "Now that the old man is gone, there are more places where the government needs money, and the girls and guards in this house add up, dozens of people, one hundred taels per person, and ten people are one thousand taels, this cost is not small, if you can save it, you can save it, and how much you give in previous years, it is reasonable to give as much as you give this year!" ”
