Chapter 11: Asking for money
Someone helped Zhang Luo, and the courtyard quickly became lively.
Probably everyone was worried about Gu Lin's mood, or felt that women were too troublesome, and no one asked Gu Lin to help Zhou Laiyun dress them.
Zhang Guixiang probably didn't dress Zhou Laiyun either, because the crying kept coming out of the house.
Zhou Xiaojuan boiled the hot water, and another woman brought it in.
After a while, Gu Lin, Zhou Xiaojuan, and Zhou Laiqian wore white filial piety clothes, and a thin hemp rope was tied around their waists.
Zhou Xiaojuan touched the hemp rope and whispered: "Sister-in-law, is it true that the eldest brother will be buried tomorrow, and the eldest brother will never be seen again in the future?" ”
"Hmm!"
Gu Lin took the little girl in his arms: "Your eldest brother should have settled down a long time ago, but after so long, he should leave!" ”
"Your eldest brother is gone, but he can watch us from a place where we can't see!"
"But when I think that I will never see my eldest brother again, I feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry!"
The little girl lay in Gu Lin's arms and cried as she spoke.
Gu Lin's heart was already sour, and he also started crying.
It took more than half an hour for the people in the house to finally come out.
Wang Dashan looked at the two people who were crying together, and sighed from afar.
"Laiyun daughter-in-law, Xiaojuan, don't cry, Laiyun's clothes are dressed, I just heard your mother say that Mr. Yin Yang will come early tomorrow morning!"
"Have you found the person who will carry the coffin tomorrow? It's not easy to dig a pit in cold weather, so you have to find people in advance! ”
"Let's be particular, tomorrow the people who will help carry the coffin and dig the pit, you have to prepare something for the people to thank you!"
When Gu Lin heard someone talking, he hurriedly patted the little girl in his arms, wiped away his tears and stood up.
"Sister-in-law, that's Uncle Dashan, I used to be good with my father when he was here, and he has been helping our family all these years!" Zhou Xiaojuan didn't forget to introduce her sister-in-law when she stood up.
"Uncle Dashan, I don't know much about these things, so I prepared the things that Mr. Yin Yang said, please see what else you need, let's prepare now!"
After Wang Dashan knew that Zhou Laiyun had brought him back, he thought about burying the person as soon as possible.
Push up the daisies.
But he is an outsider, and there are some things that are difficult to say and difficult to meddle in.
Now that they have done it themselves, Wang Dashan has arranged it unceremoniously.
When people are busy, they don't have time to think nonsense.
For a whole afternoon, Gu Lin and Zhou Xiaojuan were so busy that they left the ground.
It was about seven o'clock, and things were finally busy.
Gu Lin wanted to keep everyone for dinner, and everyone waved their hands and went back.
After sending off the helpers, Gu Lin returned to the house and lay down.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhou Xiaojuan came in with a bowl of millet porridge: "Get up and drink some porridge, uncle, they're here!" ”
"Already here?" Gu Lin struggled to get up.
I felt my head swell, and I couldn't open my eyelids.
The main thing is that the legs are sore, sore.
Probably because this body is too thin, and it hasn't eaten well during this time, and it suddenly gets busy, and the body can't bear it.
The sister-in-law's busyness and tiredness, Zhou Xiaojuan saw it in her eyes.
She saw that her sister-in-law had no strength to serve the bowl, so she put the table on the kang.
"Well, it's in my mother's house! The uncle, the third uncle, and the third aunt are also here! ”
Zhou Xiaojuan just sat down and jumped up again: "Mother is also tired and confused today, I want to watch it!" ”
"The third aunt is the most calculating of the Zhou family, my mother has suffered a lot of losses before, sister-in-law, you will come over after eating!"
Before the little girl finished speaking, the person had already gone out.
It's really uncomfortable in the head.
Gu Lin patted his head with both hands for a while, and rubbed his temples for a while before he felt a little better.
She rubbed her legs while drinking porridge.
When the porridge was finished, my legs were not as sore as before.
"Second sister-in-law, what you did today is not authentic! The matter of money has not been discussed, so you let the daughter-in-law of Laiyun set the coffin! ”
"The coffins are pulled back and you don't notify us, you would rather look for the Wang family than us, you are just letting the people in the village poke us in the back!"
"And the coffin! What's wrong with the coffin, it costs more than 20 yuan, right? Look at whose dead people in our village didn't make their own coffins! ”
"If you are alive, you won't help your family, and if you die and spend money indiscriminately, you can be willing to do it!"
"Just ask you for a little more, look at what your daughter-in-law said, what did you say that your family of four hanged yourself at the gate and let the people in the village see the joke!"
"Why, scare us, huh? You think I'm scared! ”
Zhou Yan sat cross-legged on the kang and sneered.
She didn't understand, the second sister-in-law, a woman who had a dead man and now a dead son, was so ignorant.
I don't know that I still have in-laws to support at home, and I don't know how to help my younger brother if I have money in my hand.
Zhou Yan saw that the second sister-in-law didn't speak, and said again: "Second sister-in-law, I didn't say you, after so many years, why haven't you changed at all!" ”
"Look at who is the brother and sister-in-law in our village who doesn't help the younger brothers and sisters, you don't know what the situation is between me and the third child!"
"There is no house, no money, no money, and you don't have to worry about your nephew not being able to marry a daughter-in-law!"
"Why can you be so selfish, thinking about spending a little money yourself!"
Zhang Guixiang lowered her head and wiped her tears, and Zhou Xiaojuan was so angry that she couldn't wait to kill the third aunt with her eyes.
The flesh in the palm of her hand was pinched and bleeding from her, and she didn't feel it at all.
Gu Lin listened to a few words outside the door, and knew what kind of demon and monster the person talking inside was.
Zhou Yan's mouth was dry, she licked her mouth with her tongue, and continued: "Second sister-in-law, Laiyun is dead, but you still have money and Xiaojuan!" ”
"There are many places that need our help in the future, and we won't force you, and you don't have to be embarrassed!"
"Let's take a step back, you keep sixty, and we'll take the remaining four hundred and four!"
"No way!"
Zhou Xiaojuan, who couldn't bear it, roared angrily.
"Hey, you damn girl, you ......"
"The third aunt really has no one in our family, and she taught my mother a lesson for a long time, and she still wants to beat Xiaojuan, right?"
Gu Lin strode in and knocked off Zhou Yangang's raised hand in disgust.
Zhou Yan, who has always been used to the second family, saw that a junior actually beat herself.
Stunned.
reacted, and jumped off the kang.
Pointing at Gu Lin's nose and scolding angrily: "Brother Gu Pan, what are you!" ”
"You've only been married for a few days and you've had an accident, we didn't say you were a nemesis, it's good if we didn't kick you out, you still dare to threaten and scare us!"
"Hurry up and apologize to me, or we will kick you out, a woman like you, I see who dares to ask for it!"
Zhou Yan scolded, and the spittle star flew in front of Gu Lin.
The rich and pungent garlic flavor in her mouth mixed with other unpleasant tastes, and the disgusting Gu Lin retreated again and again.
Zhou Xiaojuan saw that her sister-in-law was bullied by the third aunt, and hurriedly hugged the third aunt's waist from behind.
"Sister-in-law, go out quickly, be careful of the third aunt beating you!"
