Chapter 503 Funeral
Tong Yao glanced at the aunt who asked, and her tone was not too good, "You really don't forget to inquire about things at any time." ”
This aunt Tong Yao has the impression that she is usually the kind of person who is a-stirring stick in the village, and she has to go up and say a few words about everything.
Auntie's face darkened, her mouth moved, and she glared at Tong Yao and didn't say anything more.
Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian went straight into the door of Gu's house, and they heard bursts of crying from the hall, the courtyard was full of people, and they couldn't see the scene inside, but it was not difficult to see from the white cloth on everyone's heads and arms that something was really wrong with Gu Hongwei's father......
When the people in the courtyard saw Tong Yao, they all looked stunned.
It's already amazing that Tong Yao came back, she even went directly to the Gu family, and the ex-daughter-in-law of the Si family went to the Gu family, what is this for?
Tong Yao ignored everyone's gaze and walked directly to the door of the hall, where a wooden board was erected on the two benches, Gu Hongwei's father's cold body was lying straight and upright like that, already wearing a shroud, Gu Hongwei bowed his head and knelt beside the bed, full of grief, without saying a word.
Tong Yao pursed her lips and gently patted Gu Hongwei's shoulder to comfort, "Mourn." ”
Guo Jinnian opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Gu Hongwei heard the voice, glanced up, nodded at Tong Yao, and then lowered his head with blank eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, Guo Jinnian secretly "tsk" twice, don't say, this kind of Gu Hongwei looks quite distressing.
The only father is dead, much more pitiful than her, although her relatives can't give her any help and suck her blood alive, but thinking about it, if there is no angry relatives alive in the world, it seems quite terrifying.
"Big brother, you have suffered all your life, why haven't you enjoyed a good day and said that you will die, my poor big brother, how can I live if you die......"
Before a woman entered the door, she "howled" at the top of her throat, and with the support of the villagers, the woman lay on the ground and cried and howled as soon as she entered the hall, which was more sad than Gu Hongwei.
From the woman's cry, Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian knew her identity, this was Aunt Gu Hongwei.
It is estimated that he just heard that Gu's father was dead and came to mourn, but then again, as far as Tong Yao knows, the two families seem to have not been in contact for many years.
However, this is not Tong Yao's business, so she pulled Guo Jinnian to stand by the wall and tried to reduce her sense of presence.
Gu Hongwei didn't mean to persuade her aunt at all, or talk to her aunt, Aunt Gu cried for a few minutes, and then raised her head to look at Gu Hongwei weakly, and her mouth was full of trouble.
"Your father worked hard to raise you, you are good, you left him in the village in the name of going to college, don't ask, you are still not a person, you read all the books to the belly of a dog, right?"
Scolding and scolding, she also slapped Gu Hongwei with her hands, and the meaning of her words was that Gu Hongwei should stay in the village to take care of her father, and should not go out to college.
When the village chief heard this, he frowned, called someone to pull Aunt Gu aside, and then said fairly, "It's not to blame Hongwei for this, his father has been sick for many years, what is the use of him staying by his side, that more than one acre of land is not enough to feed the two of them, although Hongwei is not around to take care of it, but he spent money to hire someone to take care of it, and it is not easy." ”
Gu Hongwei is the second college student in the village, there has not been one in other villages for more than ten years, he has been in the village for less than six years, and he has produced two, and he has been praised by the city leaders for this matter, this kind of glory is enough for him to be proud for a hundred years.
After Gu Hongwei went to college, he never asked his family for money, and gave ten yuan a month to ask the villagers to help take care of his father.
Gu's father has not been in good health, Gu Hongwei is not a doctor, even if he stays here to take care of him, it will only ruin his future and have no other effect.
When Aunt Gu heard this, she immediately cried and retorted: "If he comes back early, my eldest brother will not die so quickly, he is not filial to his son, thinking that he will be done with two dollars, is this what a son should do?" ”
Aunt Gu's unreasonable behavior, the people next to her couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Hongwei didn't come back because your brother didn't let us tell Hongwei about his illness, and wanted Hongwei to study hard in Kyoto."
There is also a humanitarian: "Your eldest brother has been sick for so many years, haven't you come to see it once?" Who is there to blame others here! ”
Who doesn't know! When Gu Hongwei went to college, she didn't fund a dime, for fear that the Gu family would rely on her, and she had no contact with the Gu family in the past few years.
When Aunt Gu was told by others, she consciously ignored it, and she didn't say anything to complain, and began to "howl" with her voice again.
Guo Jinnian pursed her lips and secretly cursed Aunt Gu for not being a good thing, she almost couldn't help kicking Aunt Gu just now, if it wasn't for Tong Yao pulling her and reminding her not to cause trouble, she really couldn't help but want to beat Aunt Gu violently.
But think about it, Gu's father has just died now, and the Gu family is in chaos, so they don't want to make trouble for Gu Hongwei.
Fortunately, there are still people in the village who understand, and the village chief also supports things.
No one else in Aunt Gu's family came, only she came to cry alone, and she couldn't help anything except crying, and almost all of the Gu family's funerals were handled by the village chief.
Worried that Gu Hongwei didn't have enough money, Tong Yao asked Guo Jinnian to quietly stuff Gu Hongwei with some money, she is now a popular figure in the village, and her every move is watched by others, so it is not good to contact Gu Hongwei.
Gu Hongwei didn't refuse Guo Jinnian's help, but was slightly stunned, then nodded at Guo Jinnian, and then found an opportunity to give the money to the village chief.
Coffins or something, all of these things are customized by the village chief, these require a lot of money, the village chief didn't expect Gu Hongwei to give him so much money, some surprises did not shirk, the money he spent was booked, and the rest would be returned to Gu Hongwei.
Someone in the village died, this kind of is a big deal, basically the adult men in the village will help, Si Boyi is one of them.
When Gu Hongwei asked him to call Tong Yao in the morning, he knew that Tong Yao had returned to Licheng, because he had been running around the town for the Gu family's affairs, and he didn't know that Tong Yao had returned to the village.
When he returned to the village from outside with the coffin with others, he heard someone shouting: "Boyi, your former sister-in-law has come back, and she has brought a young man who is neither male nor female to stay at Hongwei's house." ”
Si Boyi was a little surprised, and quickly guessed the reason why Tong Yao came back, this was at Gu's father's funeral, and he didn't show too much excitement, when he saw Tong Yao, he just nodded slightly and said hello.
In less than half a day, the pot had been set up outside, and the doors were covered with white cloths, so Gu's father was buried the next day.
