When the uncle heard her words, his half-smiling smile froze suddenly.

To repair the brick tomb, to erect a marble tombstone, but also to invite the whole Tunzi people to cry and mourn...... How much does it cost?

Don't say anything else, let's take the matter of inviting the whole tunzi to cry and mourn, this New Year's month, who doesn't think it's bad luck in vain? If you want to invite everyone, you don't have to put on a banquet to invite people?

It's the New Year's Day, and no one is short of delicious food, if there are three or five meat dishes on a table, who is willing to come?

There are now more than 80 families in the village, and if they all come to the banquet, they will not even be able to eat the wine and food without 300 yuan.

The banquet cost 300 yuan, plus the brick tomb floor and marble tombstone, plus the coffin shroud money, the trumpet craftsman's money, and the old lady's funeral inside and out, how can it be done for more than 400 yuan.

All the old lady's belongings are worth five hundred yuan, if he does the funeral for the old lady according to the standard that Han Mingxiu said, he will basically not make any money after the funeral, so isn't he busy in vain?

Seeing that the uncle was hesitating, Han Mingxiu said again: "Although according to the old rules, the son carries the spirit flag, but the family treasure has changed the surname of the old Han family, which is considered my father's grandson, and is also regarded as the descendant of the old Han family. ”

Second Aunt Han saw that her younger brother hesitated, and she was a little anxious.

At the beginning, the younger brother asked her to be a lobbyist, and after he said that he would let her help bring the old lady's house and land into his hands, he divided the old lady's house into two rooms for the marriage of her son's strong son.

At this moment, seeing that Han Mingxiu had a problem for his brother, and sincerely didn't want his brother to inherit the old lady's house and land, wouldn't the house where the strong son got married be in vain?

If she doesn't have a house, what can she ask her son to marry?

Han Ergu was in a hurry, and in this hurry, she couldn't help but say: "Xiaoxiu, let me see, there is no need to bury it with such fanfare, right?" We are all poor peasants of eight generations, and we are too out of line, in case we are caught by someone, saying that we are landlords and old money, how can we be rectified? ”

was reminded by her like this, and the uncle also woke up like a dream, and nodded again and again: "That's it, tell me to say, let's just go with the flow, don't be too out of line, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Han Mingxiu smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, now that it has been reformed and opened up, the country's policies have also been relaxed, and the leaders have said that some people are allowed to get rich first, and it is our own family's business to bury the elderly, and the country will not take care of it." ”

"However, it's a bit impossible to spend so much money on a funeral!" Second Aunt Han glanced at her elder brother and continued.

Han Mingxiu said: "Second aunt, how can this be said to be uncommitted? The money is my milk, she uses her inheritance to exchange money for her own posthumous affairs, and she doesn't have to use a penny of our juniors, it's all her old man's own money, what's the wrong mistake? Is it possible, we are the younger generations, and we still have to deduct some money from the elderly? ”

"Look at you, kid, where did you go? Who wants to withhold the old lady's money? What I mean is that our old lady's funeral should follow the crowd, and what should we do if the old man in someone else's family is gone, let's do it, don't be too conspicuous. The second aunt argued.

Han Mingxiu said mockingly: "Other people's children still honor their parents, why don't you learn from others?" Why do you want to learn from people who simply do funerals? In the past, when my grandmother was alive, she didn't get along well with you, don't you want to save your reputation in the last important thing of her old man's house? Want to bear the reputation of disowning the relationship with the old lady for the rest of your life? ”

This sentence struck the uncle's heart at once.

The year before last, his youngest son got married and married the eldest daughter of Wang Mancang, the Si family's Wazitun Wang.

At that time, the two of them did not agree to this family business, because the reputation of the old Wang family was not good, and then there was his eldest niece Xiao Cuier who married the old Wang family, and knew that the family was not a good person.

However, it's not easy for the two of them to agree, and they can't stand their son's own consent!

People keep saying that parents are not allowed to arrange marriages now, and they should love freely, and if their parents interfere with their love, they will sue them......

For the daughter of the old Wang family, the family fought several battles, and in the end, the two of them failed to beat their son, and reluctantly married the daughter of the old Wang family into the door.

Later, as they expected, the daughter of the old Wang family was very unvirtuous, and she didn't move the spade and pickaxe at home, and she always took advantage of all kinds of good things.

I really couldn't stand it, they said two words to her, and she said eloquently: "I don't like to say anything, you still broke off the relationship with your mother at the beginning?" This is called the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, I have learned from you! ”

Han Lao Gada was scolded by his daughter-in-law, but he couldn't argue with it.

Yes, he stinks with his mother, why should he expect his daughter-in-law to be filial?

In this way, the life of the family has been awkward, and the daughter-in-law has always taken the matter of them breaking off the relationship with the old lady as a matter, refusing to be filial to them, and even taking her son gradually showed signs of unfilial piety.

I believe that in a few years, the son of the two of them who was raised with hard work will have to be led crooked by this daughter-in-law and completely become an unfilial person.

There is only one son in their family, and they have to count on this son to support their old age in the future, how can they let their son become an unfilial person?

At this moment, when he heard Han Mingxiu say this, he couldn't help but be enlightened and blurted out:

"Okay, I'll send the old lady as you say! Xiao Xiu'er, don't worry, the old lady is not only your grandmother, but also my mother, she has worked hard all her life, I just smash the pot and sell iron, and I have to let her go beautifully......"

When he said this, he was not thinking about his dead mother, but about his son and daughter-in-law.

He hoped that his son and daughter-in-law would see what he had done for the old man and that they would change their opinion of him. In the future, when he gets old, his son and daughter-in-law will be able to send him in the same way that he sent the old lady......

Han Mingxiu was a little surprised when she saw that her uncle actually agreed, she thought that her uncle would definitely be reluctant to spend this money, and she would have to grind with herself for a long time!

However, since he agreed, Han Mingxiu didn't say anything, and immediately said to the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law.

The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law spent more than 3,000 yuan on Han Mingxiu because of the damage to Wang Manchu, and Han Mingxiu had already told them that he didn't want the money. At this time, Han Mingxiu asked them to give up the house and land worth a total of five hundred yuan, of course they would not have anything to say.

So, the matter of sending the old lady was settled.

After this matter was settled, the uncle and aunt went out to Zhang Luo, and Han Mingxiu, the second aunt's family, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law and a few other family members stayed in the house to keep the old lady's spirit.

During this period, occasionally one or two villagers came over to send some burning paper to the old lady, and kowtowed to the pillar incense, which was regarded as seeing off the old lady, and Han Mingxiu poured tea to entertain others......

Towards noon, an unexpected person arrived......

It was Sun Yingmei who came, and she also brought her family's red star.

I haven't seen her for many years, Yingmei seems to be fatter and more cheerful than before, and Hongxing is now a primary school student.

"Ah, Yingmei, why are you here?"

After a long absence, Han Mingxiu was pleasantly surprised, and he didn't let go of Sun Yingmei's hand.

Sun Yingmei smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it that my father is gone some time ago, my mother is sick again at this time, and my sister-in-law and my brother and daughter-in-law refuse to serve her, so I have no choice but to come back and serve her for a few days." ”

At the beginning of winter, Sun Maowen had a sudden illness, gone, his daughter-in-law couldn't stand the blow, and fell ill all of a sudden, this illness was several months, and the two daughters-in-law could take care of her once or twice at the beginning, but after a long time, both of them became impatient, and began to chirp and blame each other, and no one was happy to take care of the old woman anymore.

Their men are not filial, and when they see that the old lady is useless, they don't want to take care of her.

Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law saw that her son and daughter-in-law couldn't count on it, she really shouldn't be able to shout every day, and in the end she really couldn't help it, so she remembered her daughter who was the least popular with her.
