Chapter 52
The mourning hall of the Cheng family had been arranged before, so many days have passed, Cheng Da has not been found, thinking that he was injured and fell off the cliff at that time, and he has not found anyone for so long, and the chance of survival is almost zero.
The old lady discussed with her sons and decided to give the eldest a funeral together, she went to ask Yang to find a few clothes for the eldest before his death, and put a few books in it.
Yang lives in pain every day, but he doesn't cry to death like he did at the beginning.
She still has four children to take care of, and if her husband goes and she falls down again, what will happen to the children?
Although she was reluctant, she also knew that this was the only way.
Chu Qi slept until she woke up in the middle of the night, and saw that there was only Xue Yunniang beside her, she rubbed her painful head, got up and went out, only to find that her brothers and sisters were all in the mourning hall to guard the spirits of her grandfather and father.
Her eyes were sour, and she kowtowed three times each after incense her grandfather and father in the past.
Yang pulled her over and said in a low voice, "Go back and sleep for a while, your grandfather and your father will know your filial piety." ”
She has suffered a lot of hardships in the past few days, and even those big men have lost a lot of weight, not to mention the seventh day of the first month.
Chu Qi shook her head, she was going to be funeral early in the morning, and she could only keep it for two or three hours.
She stayed with the others for an hour before the old lady called her into the house, "Come and accompany my wife." ”
Chu Qi got up and entered the house, the room was lit with an oil lamp, the old lady was lying on her side on the kang, and when she saw her coming in, she patted her side, "Chu Qi, go to the kang to sleep with grandma for a while." ”
On the seventh day of the first month, I lay down in a daze and was just about to fall asleep, when I heard the old lady sigh, as if talking to herself, and as if to tell her:
"When you were born that year, a Taoist priest came to tell you your fortune, saying that you are very prosperous, and you will be rich and noble in the future, Zhang Laodao also said so, and sure enough, it didn't take long for your father to win the show...... Why did you say your dad just went? Didn't you ask Daoist Zhang, he also said that your father's good days are coming...... He's talking! Not at all! I knew it would be like this, I would rather your father not be this person and not take the exam, as long as he is safe and sound......"
Chu Qi listened to the old lady muttering to herself, and tears couldn't help but fill her eyes again.
She was woken up in a daze, washed and kowtowed, thanking relatives and friends who had come to give them a ride.
Before the spirit, she even heard the noise outside, but the Cheng family was very indifferent, there were people who helped outside and would deal with it, no matter what happened at this time, they couldn't delay the time.
Cheng Yunhui fell into the basin.
This was set by the old lady, and despite Cheng Er's fierce opposition, the old lady still insisted on doing so.
Cheng Chuqi didn't know all this, she followed it, she knelt when people knelt, she also cried when people cried, and she got up when people got up, like a marionette, numb and mechanical.
The local custom is that women can't go up the mountain, watching the figure of everyone holding the coffin disappear in front of her, the old lady took the hand of her youngest daughter Chunxiao, turned around with her daughter-in-law, daughter and granddaughter, and first thanked the women who helped in the courtyard.
Then he looked at the group of people standing in the distance, these were the same people who had been noisy before.
One of them stepped forward and bowed hastily to the old lady, "Old lady, may we talk about this compensation now?" ”
Cheng Chuqi was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked the sister with a worried face next to him: "What compensation?" ”
Chu Yi explained to her in a low voice: "They are the ones who put the land in Daddy's name, and as soon as you walked to find Daddy with your front foot, they came to the door with your back foot. ”
Cheng Chuqi didn't listen to her and understood.
At the beginning, she said that there was a problem with those documents, but unfortunately although the family members didn't think it was appropriate, they all thought about it too well, and they felt that they had signed it, and they didn't take it too seriously.
Cheng Da still wanted to return the land when the contract expired, but who would have thought that something would happen!
If she didn't know that this matter was not good for Cheng Er, she would even suspect that Cheng Er also had a part in it!
The old lady tilted her head, "A few people have been waiting for so many days, why don't you wait a little longer, and wait for my sons to finish sending their father and their eldest brother and discuss before replying to a few." ”
The one who started sneered a few times: "The old lady doesn't want to drag it back!" I persuaded the old lady not to, it's not me who brags, and now the Cheng family is not the Cheng family before. We are not people who can be offended by the Cheng family. ”
This person spoke very politely, and the Cheng family was very angry and sad.
Cheng Chuqi knew that the family would definitely not be able to come up with such a sum of money.
The three of them entered Beijing, and this food, housing and transportation was a large sum of silver, and they had money before, and the silver would definitely be sufficient, but unfortunately they were all robbed.
But those robbers appeared strangely again, and the dead were even cleaner. There are no clues, and the lost silver is not found, so the rest of the money at home can only be used to compensate.
The old lady also looked angry, "Don't worry, our Cheng family spits a nail in one mouthful, and everything we say counts!" I won't be on the pay. There are a few people, who had to take the land to invest in before, but now that my son has not yet entered the ground, he is in such a hurry to ask for it, which is inevitably chilling. ”
The man was obviously a thick-skinned man, otherwise he wouldn't have been pushed out to be the leader.
He said with a haha: "We can't help it, who would have thought that Cheng Juren would just leave!" ”
The old lady snorted: "Don't worry, our Cheng family can afford to pay the bill, and we won't pay the bills, so let's go back first and come back the day after tomorrow." ”
The man hugged his fist perfunctorily: "Okay, then we'll wait for the Cheng family to come back after the grave!" ”
Some of the people who followed him looked ashamed, and some of them didn't care, and they bowed and followed the man.
The old lady turned around and went back to the house, Chu Qi and Chunxiao helped her left and right, and when she entered the hall, she waved her hand: "Let's all go and help!" Just let the two of them stay with me! Yang, let you go with you on the first day of junior high to rest, and let the second and third daughters-in-law go to the outside business. ”
When everyone went out, the old lady's body was short, and Chu Qi and Chunxiao hurriedly held people up: "Grandma~"
"Mother~ Quick, help your milk on the kang."
Chunxiao, like her, is a person who has lost her father, so she is especially afraid that something will happen to her mother.
The two worked together to help the old lady onto the kang, and on the seventh day of the first month, she poured hot water for her and brought it to her mouth, "Grandma, drink saliva!" ”
The old lady didn't eat in the morning, she was haggard and didn't rest well these days, after all, she was old, and it was a big surprise that she could hold on like this.
After the old lady drank the water for a while, she whispered, "I'm fine, just sleep for a while." In a moment, your second brother, they came back from the mountain and called me up. ”
Chu Qi persuaded: "Grandma, the family can't leave you, you have to take care of your body." Just sleep well with peace of mind, and wait for you to wake up! ”
She was so calm that the old lady patted her hands: "You also heard it, those people just now ......"
"Grandma, I heard it all."
The old lady thought of how many times she reminded her of the inappropriateness of compensation.
"Grandma really regrets that she didn't listen to you at the beginning, otherwise this would not have happened."
Although the document was signed at that time, as Cheng Daju's identity, he only said that Cheng Er's signature did not admit it, and this document is not impossible to change.
But the last thing in this world is regret medicine.
Even if the Cheng family regrets their intestines, it's useless.
Today is this small chapter, the plaster on the neck is already much better, and it is estimated that tomorrow will be better.
