Chapter 25 The Burial of the Low Mountain
Tian Guifang regretted learning that her husband had secretly become the direct promoter of this tragedy.
Although she and Qiu Decai are a little opposed, they can't talk about Cai Zhongsheng. Therefore, after Cai Zhongsheng was killed by her husband, she always felt a sense of guilt.
That night, after Cai Zhongsheng's accident, her daughter Wu Ying, who was placed in the shake nest, suddenly woke up and cried, Tian Guifang went over to pick her up, and said, "Son, your life is really bitter, you are not yet a year old, your mother died unexpectedly, and her father must pay for his life when he kills someone, and the family will be scattered, pitiful! Pathetic!
Wu Ying, who is not yet a year old, knows this, and still cries. Usually, when I woke up, that is, I woke up an hour ago, my mother was still there, knowing that she was crying and arguing for milk, and she would definitely give her a urine or hug her to let her finish the shit with a bang, and then wipe it clean, and then naturally send her tits to her mouth. She snorted, and a face with a few teardrops buried in her mother's arms, and the crying stopped.
But now everything has changed, and the child has no idea. In Tian Guifang's arms, she kept crying.
In order to keep the child from crying for the time being, Tian Guifang unbuckled her chest and stuffed a shriveled tit into her mouth.
She began to suck desperately, and then, perhaps feeling that there was no milk in the tits, she gave up and continued to cry with her mouth open.
Tian Guifang had no choice but to hold her and go out to the south of the village with a flashlight to find a lactating woman to feed her temporarily.
Nor is this a long-term solution. Tian Guifang suddenly had a way, after Cai Zhongsheng's funeral, she took Wu Ying to Liushuzhuang and raised her grandparents.
But Wu Ying's physique is poor, she is photosick, and she is a girl, so she can't renew the incense for the Wu family, based on these two reasons, her grandparents are naturally unhappy.
That time the condition was a little better, and grandpa Wu Jiaguang took Wu Ying back to Liulin Village from afar and handed it to Tian Guifang, saying that although this child was his granddaughter, they were not capable of raising it, so he still asked Tian Guifang to do good things to the end and accept Wu Ying as a baby.
Tian Guifang was stunned for a moment, feeling that if she refused, she would be even more ashamed of her ancient mother, so she hugged Wu Ying from Wu Jiaguang's hand.
Seeing that Wu Ying had become skinny and skinny, he was worried about whether this girl could be fed.
Wu Jiaguang saw Tian Guifang take Wu Ying, a little excited, took out a bag of milk powder from the bag and handed it to her and said, As for this girl, you can raise it, if you can't raise it, you can also give it away.
Tian Guifang reluctantly took the bag of milk powder, and muttered in her heart: Since I can feed this guy, do I still care about a bag of milk powder?
At this time, she looked at Wu Ying, who was under the age of one and her eyes fell down, and felt pitiful.
Tian Guifang teased her, she still smiled shallowly, but the laughter was hoarse, and it sounded sad.
Tian Guifang already clearly felt that this baby, who was supposed to cry well before the end of his infancy, was no longer as good at crying as before.
Crying is a normal expression for a normal baby, but having lost her mother and maternal love, she seems to have been deprived of even the right to cry, her expression has become a little numb, even if she smiles occasionally, her eyes have become dull.
This situation is clearly caused by the child's guardian yelling, "kicking", or even abuse.
Tian Guifang's heart ached when she looked at Wu Ying, and after the child's grandfather left, she handed Wu Ying over to the woman with milk in the village again to feed for a few days.
But after all, it can't last long, during this period, Tian Guifang asked people everywhere to contact, is there any family willing to support Wu Ying.
There was a couple who had not been pregnant for many years and had no children under their knees who wanted to hug Wu Ying, but when they saw her skinny appearance, they were afraid that they would not be able to support her, so they didn't dare to ask for it.
Tian Guifang wanted to persuade her husband to raise Wu Ying as an adopted daughter. The husband disagreed, saying that the child had a hard life, and raising her would affect the family's fortune.
Tian Guifang also gave up the idea of raising Wu Ying. She still came up with a feasible way and urged the village to come forward and send Wu Ying to the orphanage to be fed.
Tian Guifang used this to balance the guilt of being sorry for Cai Zhongsheng. As soon as something unpleasant happens, it is inevitable that they will be suspicious, and they always think that they are blamed by Cai Zhongsheng's undead, so they often buy some incense and candles and burn them in front of Cai Zhongsheng's grave on the back slope, and prostrate to ask for forgiveness and protection. also comforted, Zhong Sheng, Zhong Sheng, I sent your son Wu Ying to the orphanage, from now on, you can rest in peace without worry!
That night, Tian Guifang went home and heard her husband Qiu Manfu say that Wu Ying was sick in the orphanage and wanted to see her.
The husband said that he heard from Qiu Jiangshui, who lived in a welfare home in the village. Qiu Jiangshui is a half-blind person, the two eyes were born with a layer of white, not completely invisible, a little dim, and people to face, to look at people, those two eyes like cocooned silk, always unwilling to be hindered and want to shake off it but helpless as if flipping, revealing the round whites of the eyes, as soon as he talked about him, Tian Guifang had an impression.
He has never been married in his life, and he will never get married, which woman is willing to follow him? Both of his parents have died. Although he has several brothers, they all have their own families, all of them have young children, and their burdens are not light, and they are unwilling to bear the obligation of support for him. Fortunately, the government has opened a social welfare institute, and Qiu Jiangshui belongs to the widows and lonely people, and if he meets the conditions, he will naturally arrange to care for the elderly there.
Tian Guifang heard that Qiu Jiangshui had gone home that day, and she hadn't left yet, so she looked for it.
As soon as she went out and walked through a field, she heard the bell of the cow, and she used a flashlight to shine it, and saw Qiu Jiangshui leading a yellow cow to the pond to drink water, which made her very sensitive to the fact that Qiu Decai's cattle ate the ears of rice in her field, and their family took revenge on Qiu Decai, and finally made a homicide case as the problem became complicated.
At this moment, Tian Guifang triggered a sense of guilt for Cai Zhongsheng, she stood on the side of the road, and waited until Qiu Jiangshui led Huang Guniu from the edge of Dangjiatang, and then asked him about Wu Ying's situation.
Qiu Jiangshui said that Wu Ying's current illness is not clear, but it is very serious anyway, and the director of the orphanage has sent her to the hospital for treatment.
Tian Guifang wanted to visit Wu Ying in the hospital, but she didn't know which hospital she was, and she didn't know what Qiu Jiangshui was asking about.
Qiu Jiangshui said that he would inquire about it tomorrow and then tell her.
Tian Guifang did not wait for news, and rushed to the orphanage not far from Qiu Jiangshui's welfare home the next day, to her surprise, the people in the welfare home told her with a heavy heart that the orphan named Wu Ying died in the hospital last night and is now being placed in the morgue. Wait a while and you'll get results.
Tian Guifang had an idea, and directly found the dean who was about to hold a meeting to discuss this matter, she said, you don't have to send Wu Ying's body to be cremated, just take me back to the hillside behind Qiujiazhuang, bury her next to her mother's grave, and let her mother and son reunite.
The dean immediately agreed, because this is not only one thing missing, but also saves time and money, and if you send it to the funeral home for cremation, you have to pay a fee.
So, the dean arranged for an employee to take Tian Guifang to the store to tear a roll of white cloth, and rushed to the hospital morgue to get out Wu Ying's hardened body of Xiaoshui, wrap it in a white cloth and hand it to Tian Guifang. and called a car to send Tian Guifang back to Qiujiazhuang.
Tian Guifang took Wu Ying's body down from the car, and many villagers came to watch. Qiu Manfu temporarily knocked on nails, made a rectangular wooden box, and parked Wu Ying's body wrapped in a white cloth, and then nailed a wooden board on it to seal it.
Tian Guifang said, poor child, I will bury you next to your mother's grave immediately, and your mother and son can be reunited!
Qiu Manfu glared at Tian Guifang and said to her that the child died prematurely and could not be buried with the grave of an adult, and it would be unlucky to be buried together.
As a result, several villagers carried the wooden box containing Wu Ying's body and buried it on a low hill half a mile away from Cai Zhongsheng's grave.
Tian Guifang didn't follow, but said in her heart, poor child, I want your mother and son to reunite, but unfortunately I can't go against the customs. As a grandmother, I can only wish you to be a man next time and be reincarnated into a rich and noble family.
