Chapter 1: Don't Touch My Grandma!

Next Chapter

The funeral industry should be an awe-inspiring industry, but in today's society, it is discriminated against, and everyone avoids it.

My name is Chen Mo, and after graduating from high school, I was forced to inherit my father's mantle and started the funeral industry.

Our old Chen family has relied on the funeral industry for generations, and we eat the food of the dead.

My dad said that life and death are the top priority in life, so doing a funeral trip is a kind of reverence for life.

But in my generation, I didn't want to pass on this industry, and I only wanted to change careers and make a lot of money.

Because of this, my dad and I fought a lot, and we quarreled several times.

I am almost at the age of 30, I have no house, no car, no savings and no education, and it is really enviable to watch my classmates and friends shine in their respective fields.

That day, I went to a high school reunion and saw my classmates chatting in groups.

Most of the content of their chats is related to work income, and they talk about each other's professional fields, so that people can't even interject a sentence.

I didn't understand it anyway, so I ate in silence and listened to the well-mixed people sitting around and bragging to each other.

Jiang Dong, who was sitting opposite, is now thriving in the sales industry, and other classmates are revolving around him like sycophants.

Jiang Dong and I couldn't get along when we were in high school, and seeing that I had been silent, I asked in a weird way: "Chen Mo, what have you been busy with lately?" How did I hear that you stopped going to high school? ”

Jiang Dong asked so loudly, and the classmates around me threw mocking glances at me.

I blushed and replied impatiently, "Help my family run the shop." ”

Koto sneered and said, "It's your family's funeral parlor, right?" ”

Hearing the word "funeral parlor", the surrounding classmates were disgusted, and in their eyes, the funeral industry was not a serious industry at all.

Being ridiculed by my classmates like this, the anger in my heart kept burning, and I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Huh? Chen Mo, are you so miserable? All went to the funeral? ”

Hearing the questioning voices of my classmates around me, I felt like I couldn't even lift my head.

After that reunion, I made up my mind to change careers.

No matter how much my dad tried to persuade me, I didn't plan to continue working, and this was the first time I disobeyed my dad.

I'm really fed up with this life of dealing with the dead, being disliked by people in the face of embarrassment, and enduring all kinds of discrimination and grievances.

When I thought of the glamorous lives of those classmates, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

I sat in the driver's seat of the funeral car, smoking a cigarette depressedly.

At this moment, the phone rang, and I snuffed out the cigarette butt and picked it up.

On the other end of the phone, the voice of the guy in the store, Da Lei: "Lao Chen, why haven't you come yet?" If the corpse is put down like this, it will be hard. ”

"Da Lei, I don't want to do it anymore, I want to change careers."

Da Lei was a little stunned on the other end of the phone: "Lao Chen, what kind of wind are you smoking?" Although our line of work is not very good, it is also an awe-inspiring profession, right? Life is in the world, life and death are great! ”

"Why are you talking more and more like my dad? Forget it, let's break up after this order, I'm going to change careers. ”

Da Lei was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and said, "You can think about it, come quickly, at least finish this order, right?" ”

After hanging up the phone, I drove the funeral car to a dilapidated tube building.

As soon as I went upstairs, I heard a noisy sound in the corridor, and the crowd of onlookers was gathering at the door.

I saw Da Lei waving at the door of the room, and went straight inside.

When I entered the room, I heard a woman's snarky voice coming from inside the room.

"How important is it that the old lady dies when she dies? Do you have to come back in person? ”

"Don't pretend to be a filial son here, your son's college entrance examination is about to take place, what are you doing when you come back?"

"Is the future of the son important, or is it more important to collect the old woman's body? Let me tell you, if you delay my son's college entrance examination, I won't be done with you! ”

The sound echoed through the hallway, causing a wave of discussion among the onlookers.

I could hear it clearly in the room, and I couldn't help but sympathize with the middle-aged man.

How similar am I to him? I've lived such a wretched life in this life.

When you encounter major events in life, you can't control them, how sad is this?

I saw the old man lying quietly on the bed, and commanded, "Go out!" Leave it to me here. ”

Big Thunder beckoned the rest of the room for me and told them all to leave the room.

And I wiped the old man's arm with a hot towel, wanting to give her the last ride, which can be regarded as a successful end to the funeral industry that I have been working for so many years.

At this moment, the wolf tooth necklace around my neck suddenly caused a violent shock.

At the head of the bed suddenly sat an old man with gray temples and tears in the corners of his eyes.

She sat at the head of the bed and looked at her corpse sobbing incessantly, looking so helpless and pitiful.

I was so scared that the hot towel fell on the bed, and I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me.

"What will our family do in the future? Woowoowoo...... She has always depended on me for her life, who can care if she is dead or alive in the future? ”

"This unfilial son of mine is a strict wife, and he has cruelly abandoned my wife in his hometown for so many years, and he has never asked me and Qiqi."

"Why is my life so miserable? How will my baby Qiqi live in the future? ”

The old man's cries echoed in the room, and I was so frightened that I stared at the old man on the spot.

The old man finally noticed that I was looking at her, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"You, young man...... Can you see me? The old man looked up tremblingly and looked at me intently.

I've been doing funerals for so many years, and I've dealt with the dead a lot, but it's the first time I've encountered a dead ghost, and my heart is almost broken.

Luckily, I was mentally good enough not to be scared, and I told myself that I would be fine if I thought it was a hallucination.

I kept my composure as much as I could, and I noticed a line of blood-red subtitles floating above the old man's head.

[Accepting and completing the Wish of the Dead will open a lucky red envelope.] 】

Wishes of the dead?

My eyes were split.

It's all happening incredible!

I gradually calmed down and wanted to try to communicate with the old man in front of me.

"Auntie, I'm here to see you off for the last time, do you have any last wishes?"

The old man was ecstatic and said, "You can really see me, young man!" Great, I don't have any other wishes, I just hope to find someone to take care of Qiqi for me. ”

"You have also seen the situation in my family, my son married such a bitter daughter-in-law, it is impossible for her to adopt Qiqi."

"Qiqi is my only granddaughter, a hard-working child, my parents are not early, and I pull her ...... with one hand"

"Now I'm just leaving, how will my baby Qiqi live in the future? Woowoowoo......"

From the old man's crying, I can understand that she had a son and a daughter before her death.

Qiqi in her mouth is her only granddaughter, but it's a pity that her daughter and son-in-law left early, and her granddaughter has been dependent on her since she was a child.

The son wanted to be filial to her, but he was restricted by his wife everywhere, so that the mother and son did not even see each other for the last time before they died.

As soon as the old man finished talking, another line of blood-red subtitles appeared in front of him.

[Do you accept the wishes of the dead?] 】

I was moved by the old man's frantic sobs.

"Young man, aunt please, just take it as a good deed and help my family Qiqi, right? Woowoo woo ......"

I said, "Auntie, I'll take good care of Qiqi for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the blood-red subtitles in front of me trembled, and gradually turned into another line of subtitles.

[Accepted the last wish of the deceased: take care of the deceased's granddaughter Qiqi.] If the last wish is completed, the lucky red envelope will be opened. 】

I heard my dad say that if the deceased still has a wish, they will stay in front of the corpse and refuse to leave.

"Auntie, I promise you."

As soon as I looked up, I was about to communicate with the old man again, but I found that everything in front of me suddenly disappeared.

I wiped the old man's arm and prepared to change her into a shroud.

At this moment, the door of the cabinet on the side suddenly opened, and a little girl of five or six years old rushed out of it.

She looked at me sharply and shouted, "You are not allowed to touch my grandmother, you are not allowed to touch her!" ”
