The main branch of the Qiao family is still in Lujiang, although the place is not far away, but it will take a few days for Qiao Wei to send a letter to the elders of the clan to rush to Wu County. Sun Quan arranged for Sun Jing to temporarily preside over the funeral, and two days later, Qiao Rui helped the spirit, Qiao's mother, Qiao Wei and Qiao Ying walked together, and sent them back to their home in Anhui County.

The sudden death of Qiao's father cast a haze over the entire Qiao family and Juxu Pavilion. Qiao Ying accompanied Qiao's mother in the room with tears every day, and Qiao Wei, as the eldest daughter, had to cheer up and arrange to entertain the female relatives who came to visit the memorial.

In the evening, Sun Deng cried again and said that as long as Qiao Wei slept with him, Qiao Wei had to take care of both ends and had no rest, but in two days, he saw that people were haggard and thin.

Lu's mother was accompanied by Lu Su to pay tribute, and when she saw Qiao Wei's pale face, she was also very distressed, "Good people, I will be haggard when I see it." ”

Qiao's mother didn't have many girls in Wu County, so Lu's mother took the initiative to stay and talk to comfort her. Lu's mother is also a middle-aged widower, and compared with others, she can best understand Qiao's mother's sadness at this time.

"Now it's for a few children, Mrs. Qiao has to hold back her grief for the time being, the eldest son has not yet had a wife, this family still needs to be managed by you, and the blessings of children and grandchildren have not yet been enjoyed!"

And Qiao's mother looked at her grandson Lu Qing, who was following Lu's mother, so she thought of her grandson Qiao Hui, who was still in the He family.

Although the He family and Qiao Rui are reconciled, this child is the bloodline of the Qiao family. When I returned to Anhui County this time, I must bring the child back. Otherwise, Qiao Rui will have to keep filial piety for his father for three years, and they don't know when the bloodline of their Qiao family will be available again.

When Qiao's mother thought of this, she had expectations in her heart, and gradually cheered up, and reluctantly used some food. Seeing Qiao's mother like this, Qiao Ying was secretly relieved in her heart.

Qiao's father helped Ling to return to his hometown, and Sun Quan also needed to accompany him, so he entrusted the affairs of Wu County to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and then sent it to Anhui County for redetermination. He also instructed Lu Su to keep an eye on matters related to the Hundred Refining Technique, discuss it with Mo Sangongzi and Rong Sheng, and named this matter Bai Hong's strategy.

Sun Quan personally accompanied him back to his hometown, and the Qiao family's family naturally did not dare to slack off, and the people who came to pick up the spirit were all members of the clan.

Qiao Wei looked at those familiar and unfamiliar faces, "I never knew that our Qiao family had so many brothers and elders. ”

Qiao's father did not have an official position before his death, and he was originally a concubine, so he separated from his family early, and he had almost no contact with his own family, even when it was the end of the year, he barely moved.

Even Qiao's mother didn't quite recognize who those relatives of the family were.

Qiao Wei also knew that they were not here to hold a funeral for Qiao's father at all, but no matter what they were for, as long as they didn't toss around Qiao's father's funeral.

Qiao Wei stared carefully for two days, and finally something happened.

It's just that the person who made trouble was not a relative of the Qiao family's own branch, but Qiao's mother herself.

Qiao Ying saw that Qiao's mother's spirit was better, so she helped her to the front of the mourning hall to see Qiao's father, but she didn't want Qiao's mother to cry suddenly, holding Qiao's father's coffin and crying, "Lord, you are lonely, but you left your concubine alone, you can't wait to let me go with you!" ”

Several concubines of the Qiao family naturally hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.

But Qiao's mother couldn't stop at all, "Rui'er hasn't started a family yet, and even her only child has been taken away by the He family, if you are still here, why would those people bully our orphans and widows!" ”

She mourned more and more, and her hands beat the coffin again and again, as if to wake up the person in the coffin, "Get up, lord! Lord! It's a pity that you've worked hard all your life, but you don't even have a grandchild who kowtows to you. God open your eyes! ”

Qiao Wei was exhausted when she saw her fighting in the mourning hall like this. And the elders of the Qiao family are even more embarrassed.

At that time, Qiao Rui was imprisoned and escorted to Wu County, and the He family came to reconcile and asked to take the child back to the He family to change his surname to He, and their elders also nodded and signed.

For no other reason, the dowry that the He family brought when he married in at that time had almost been spent by the Qiao family.

If the He family wants to get back the dowry, the Qiao family can't give it back, and it is impossible to pay it back, the Qiao family ignores this, so naturally they can only let the He family put forward conditions.

Now Qiao's mother is crying like this, which can be regarded as a slap in the face.

Sure enough, the faces of several elders of the Qiao family were also blue and white, as if they had eaten flies.

Qiao Wei had to let a few powerful grandmothers help Qiao's mother down, Qiao Wei could not care about Qiao's mother's quarrel, but she didn't want Qiao's father's funeral to become a joke in the mouths of others. Qiao's father has been running all his life, and he has a good reputation among the neighbors, is it coming to the future, and he still has to let people talk about the private affairs of the Qiao family?

Qiao's mother naturally didn't want to go, she hadn't cried enough, and the elders of the Qiao family hadn't nodded yet, so she would never stop.

Qiao Wei glanced at Qiao Ying helplessly, Qiao Ying understood, so she had to secretly pretend to help, and the acupuncture in her sleeve pierced the acupuncture point, and Qiao's mother immediately fainted.

Qiao Wei hurriedly made up his mind about this matter, "Grandma is too sad, let's help go down to recuperate first." She said to Qiao Ying again, "Mother is old and can't stand the stimulation, so don't let her come to the mourning hall for the time being, so as not to hurt her body." ”

Qiao Ying nodded hurriedly, and helped Qiao's mother down with a few old women.

Sun Quan bowed down and apologized, "Since the death of my father-in-law, my mother-in-law has been grieving and can't help herself. ”

Those elders of the Qiao family naturally said again and again, "Human nature, human nature." ”

Since Sun Quan had already come out to play the round, everyone tacitly revealed Fang Cai's farce, and no one mentioned it again.

Under the auspices of the elders of the Qiao family, the funeral continued, and the wealthy families who were good friends with the Qiao family also sent people to come, but the He family was missing.

After Qiao's mother learned about this, she scolded the people of the He family in the room for having no conscience and taking away the bloodline of the Qiao family.

Qiao Wei walked in from outside the door, and when he heard Qiao's mother complaining about He's ruthlessness, she was very domineering when she was her daughter-in-law, and now it is even more unreasonable.

"They are all forcibly leaving, and they originally had the idea of breaking off diplomatic relations, is it just that when they see Qiao Rui coming back, can they come back and reunite?"

Qiao Wei carried a piece of rice porridge and helped Qiao's mother get up to eat.

"It's just that seeing that Rui'er is down for a while, I can't wait to leave the relationship immediately and live alone." Qiao's mother sneered, "But I don't want my son to be creative, and now he has come back safely." In this way, the sons and daughters who can only share the joys and sorrows can only share the joys and sorrows, even if Hui'er comes back, they will never be able to enter our door again. ”
