As the saying goes, if there are no rules, there is no circle, the rules formed by the thousands of years of history of the Shenlong Empire have always regulated people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and even birth, old age, sickness and death.

After seeing the appearance of the man in his thirties who represented Wu Huoyun's filial son and grandson kneeling in front of him, Li Quansheng muttered in his heart.

"This is completely unruly, this is a precursor to the brother's birth, this person has just left, and some people ignore the feelings of brotherhood. I don't know if this is called the hot and cold state of the world? Or is it because the silver is swaying people's hearts? It seems that this Wu Mansion will definitely be uneasy in the future. ”

Wu Huoyun did not give birth to a male before his death, and there were only two daughters under his knees, Wu Chun and Wu Li.

After this person returns to his life in 100 days, according to custom, the leader should be the deceased's son-in-law and grandson, and if he has no children under his knees, he will generally pass one from other brothers to send him to his death. But like Wu Huoyun, who only had two daughters and no sons before his death, and did not find a brother to succeed him, after his death, he either let his son-in-law come to the door to change his surname, and give the deceased a spirit at the funeral, or choose a male among the daughter's descendants to succeed him and give the deceased as a grandson.

But at this time, the man in his thirties kneeling in front of Li Quansheng was neither the son-in-law of Wu Huoyun and his wife, nor their grandson, but the youngest son of Wu Huoyun's younger brother Wu Qi, Wu Yingjie.

Although from the first day of his birth, Wu Yingjie was pinned on by his parents, hoping that he could grow into a hero, but none of Wu Yingjie's actions from childhood to adulthood were worthy of his name.

It is said that his parents spoil his children, and under the doting of Wu Huoyun and his wife, since he was a child, Wu Yingjie has been unprofessional, lazy and lazy, although he dare not say that he is bullying men and women, but he is also abducted and deceived everywhere. Although it is not a clean street tiger that everyone is afraid of in the whole town, it can be regarded as annoying to everyone. In this Wu Yingjie's heart, there is no loyalty, filial piety and shame at all, and his life creed is to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

Wu Yingjie, who lingered in the fireworks venue day and night, was completely hollowed out by the wine. Standing by Wu Qi's side, if others don't introduce him, it will be impossible for people to believe that this is a father and son. One is a tiger with a bear's waist, a tall man and a big horse, while the other is a sharp-beaked monkey with no strength to restrain a chicken.

This Wu Yingjie knelt in front of Wu Huoyun's spirit, although he was crying there, he only heard thunder, and he didn't see the rain at all, his eyes were rubbed red, but the inside of his eyes was dry, and he couldn't see a single tear. Although I tried my best to make a grief-stricken appearance, I couldn't hide the joy at the corner of my mouth.

This Wu Yingjie led the kneeling alone in the front, and it was Wu Chun and Wu Li sisters who knelt close to this Wu Yingjie.

It stands to reason that if they lost their parents in one day, the two sisters should be grief-stricken. But when I saw the two sisters at this time, although their eyes were red, tears flowed, and their faces were full of grief and indignation, the grief and indignation on their faces were more anger than sadness, and there was a trace of grievance in the sadness. Perhaps most of these tears are due to being wronged.

According to custom, Wu Huoyun's two sons-in-law, who were supposed to be guarding and accompanying the mourning hall together, were nowhere to be found in the entire mourning hall at the moment, and the two daughters who accompanied Wu Huoyun knelt in front of the spirit were Wu Huoyun's grandsons, that is, the children of his two daughters, but the son-in-law who was half a son was nowhere to be found, and everything seemed so weird.

"Eldest niece, this Brother Huoyun has suffered a catastrophe from the sky, but the Si people have passed away, and you still have to mourn and change. I believe that Brother Huoyun's spirit in the sky will also bless you sisters with smooth luck and happiness! Don't be too sad, take good care of your body, after all, you still have in-laws to serve and children to take care of. There is still something going on at my uncle's house, and after I saw your father for the last time, I will go back first. ”

After seeing this situation, Li Quansheng felt like a mirror in his heart, this must be Wu Qi saw that his brother and wife were no longer in this world, and saw the huge, amazing inheritance left behind, and his heart was obviously moved. So he sent his son to play the role of Wu Huoyun's filial son, so as to occupy a favorable position in the division of the inheritance. After all, holding the spirit card at the funeral is what the eldest son has to do.

As for the elder brother's two daughters, they must have been excluded from the position of inheritance, perhaps according to Wu Qi's idea, the daughter who married out and the water that was spilled out were already from other people's families, although they were their brother's direct blood relatives, but they also did not want to get involved in the Wu family's property.

Although this kind of behavior is despicable, and it is easy to be blamed by other members of the family, seeing that Wu Yingjie firmly occupies the position of the eldest son in the mourning hall at this time, it means that this Wu Huoyun has reached some kind of tacit understanding with other people in the family through the exchange of interests, at least forming a community of interests with his boss, and excluding Wu Huoyun's daughter and son-in-law from this community of interests, which is why Wu Huoyun's two daughters have grievances in the mourning hall. Angry expressions, and the two sons-in-law simply did not appear in the mourning hall for the real reason.

Although it is said that he and Wu Huoyun are also friends, after all, this is a family affair of someone else's family, and Li Quansheng is not easy to interfere with anything, so after mourning Wu Huoyun and his wife and comforting Wu Chun and Wu Li, he shirked the family and said goodbye, hoping to leave the place where this is wrong.

After coming out of Wu Huoyun's house, Li Quansheng's face has always been ugly. With a straight face, after returning home with Li Yichen, he went directly to his room, and he didn't even come out to eat dinner with everyone.

When Li Yichen brought dinner into Li Quansheng's room, he found that his grandfather's face was sitting quietly in the corner of the room, and his face was so dark that it seemed to be dripping water.

After hearing Li Yichen's voice calling him to eat, Li Quansheng didn't speak, but just motioned to Li Yichen to put the food on the table next to him, and after Li Yichen put the food on the table, he just waved his hand and told Li Yichen to go out first.

Seeing that his grandfather was not in a good mood at this time, Li Yichen didn't know how to persuade him, so he just silently exited the room and quietly closed the door.

That night, the lights in Li Quansheng's room were not extinguished, and the dancing candles in the room projected Li Quansheng's figure onto the window. All night, Li Quansheng sat there motionless, not still faintly whispering from the room, I don't know what the old couple was discussing.

It wasn't until the next morning that Li Quansheng walked out of his room, maybe he didn't sleep all night, this Li Quansheng's mental state was not very good, but as if he had figured out something, the whole person was no longer as gloomy and terrible as the day before, and his family began to talk and laugh as usual.

Seeing that Li Quansheng untied his heart knot, the hanging hearts of the whole family were also relaxed, and the whole family returned to its usual calm.

Perhaps because he couldn't get used to Wu Huoyun's younger brother's shameful behavior of plotting to rob his brother's family property, three days later, when it came to the day of Wu Huoyun's and his wife's burial, Li Quansheng did not go to see them off for the last time, but just put a few incense sticks at home, burned a few pieces of money, and put a glass of soju on the table, wishing this old friend a good journey.

After doing all this, Li Quansheng returned to his room, closed the door, and let himself stay quietly in the room alone.

When night fell, Li Quansheng, who had just come out of the sad mood of his friend who had lost his friend in the general corner, went back to his room with a black face after hearing the news that Li Gan, who had returned from outside.

From Li Gan's mouth, Li Quansheng knew that the contradictions in Wu Huoyun's family broke out today, Wu Huoyun's younger brother and son-in-law were fighting, and the whole family became a pot of porridge, and in the end, it almost delayed the auspicious time for Wu Huoyun and his wife to enter the ground.

Although this is just a farce in someone else's family, Li Quansheng, as a friend, feels uncomfortable in his heart. It took a few days for the whole person's mood to calm down.

Although Wu Huoyun's death also had a certain impact on Li Yichen's family's New Year, Li Quansheng was there with a gloomy face for several days, making everyone dare not talk and laugh loudly, and the happiness of the entire New Year was lost a lot.

But no matter what, this time is the happiest day of the year for Li Yichen, because his parents, who have not seen him for a year, have returned home and are by his side.

Every morning, he went to his parents' room to say goodbye, listened to his mother's nagging, and looked at his father's majestic face, Li Yichen felt that all this was so happy. Even when he heard the voice of his parents blaming him, Li Yichen also felt like a heavenly sound, and he really hoped that time would stop forever and let himself be by his parents' side forever.

But the good times always seem so short, and in the blink of an eye, it is time to part with your parents. Looking at his son's expectant gaze, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, after all, he still needed to go to Pengcheng to work hard, not to mention that he had to repair his son's damaged meridians, and he also had to go out to seek medical advice, Li Chuanrong could only caress his beloved wife and endure the pain of parting, forcing himself not to look back at his tearful son, and strode out of the house. He was afraid that if he turned around, he would no longer have the courage to travel far. (To be continued.) )
