Chapter 164 Funeral
Three days later.
Anwu Town, Wu Family.
Overnight, the entire Wu family was covered with white paper flowers, white lanterns were hung at the door, and even the door was surrounded by white cloth from top to bottom.
Wu Xiang was also dressed in white, dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling in the middle of the gate.
Occasionally, when someone came to salute, she would bow her head with tears in her eyes, bow deeply, and kowtow again.
Someone passing by the door saw this scene and shook his head in distress.
"Tut-tut, this daughter of the Wu family is really miserable! Both parents died of illness overnight, leaving her as a little girl, guarding an empty shell-like house, how can she live in the future? ”
"Originally, the two members of the Wu family were sick, and just the treatment and medicine hollowed out the entire Wu family, and now it is a ...... again."
"I see, this family is really out of luck, and they can't save anything!"
"But don't say it, this Wu Xiang still has two points of beauty, her parents are dead, although she can't marry any good people, but if she is willing to bow her head...... Hehe, maybe there's a good way out! ”
Some people looked at her with sympathy, and some people looked at her obscenely, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, Wu Xiang knelt in front of the coffin with an indifferent face, her eyes did not blink, as if those people were not talking about her, but just an irrelevant outsider.
One by one, she threw the paper money in her hand into the brazier, until the paper money bottomed out, and she finally heard the familiar sound of carriages on the street, and a faint smile curled up on the corner of her lips.
Shaolan poked her quietly, "Miss, the carriage you said is here!" ”
"I know...... Don't forget, be sure to do what I taught you! ”
"Yes!"
Shaolan quietly agreed, then took a few steps back and stood back in place.
And Wu Xiang also lowered his head slightly, and the extremely faint smile disappeared in an instant, turning into a sad face......
The other side.
The black carriage swayed and stopped, Su Liuye opened the door curtain, and saw a piece of the Wu family's vegetarian at a glance, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and quickly got out of the car, "Xiaoxiang!" ”
Wu Xiang knelt on the spot sobbing and choking, her back kept shaking.
Even when she heard Su Liuye's voice, she only paused briefly, and then her tears fell even more fiercely.
Su Liuye hurried over, "Xiaoxiang! I'm sorry, Aunt Changping's matter, I rushed over as soon as I found out, but I didn't expect it to catch up......"
Wu Xiang raised her head with tears streaming down her face, and her eyes, which were originally quite clear, had already swollen into half a walnut.
The moment she raised her head, Wu Xiang opened her mouth, her lips trembling violently, "Cousin, I don't have a home......"
In just a few words, Wu Xiang said stumbling, and even her voice was hoarse and miserable.
When she looked up, she looked pitiful, but Su Liuye, who was still looking at it, sighed slightly, "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, Xiaoxiang, although your aunt and uncle have left, you also have to take good care of yourself!" ”
Wu Xiang's head was buried in her arms, and she shook it gently, her voice was as light as a feather, "I have a daughter's family, and the conditions of my family are average, and now I have no parents and no livelihood, how can I live?" “
"Cousin, I want to go with them, on Huangquan Road, we can be a companion as a family......"
Before the words fell, Su Liuye frowned, and opened her mouth to reprimand, "What are you talking about?" Xiaoxiang, you are Aunt Changping's daughter, and you are the meat of her heart! When she was alive, she was most worried about you, and now that her bones are not cold, you have such thoughts, but I am afraid that Aunt Chang Ping will not be able to rest assured even if she goes underground! ”
"But what am I going to do?" Wu Xiang looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Cousin, could it be that I can only find a man to marry casually in the future?" ”
"This ......"
Su Liuye frowned and looked towards the mourning hall.
Ahead, the portraits of Chang Ping and Wu Hongfeng were placed side by side, both of them with smiles on their faces, and at first glance, they looked quite lifelike.
It's a pity that looking at these two portraits, she can't laugh at all.
After a moment of silence, Su Liuye glanced back at Chu Yan, who just nodded at her slightly, signaling that she could just do what she wanted to do.
Su Liuye turned her head at this time, looked at Wu Xiang again, and stretched out her hand to help the person up, "It's all my own family, Aunt Changping is gone, isn't there still me?" ”
"If you don't dislike it, I have the worst restaurant there, you follow me, no matter what, there is always a bite to eat, are you willing?"
When the words fell, Wu Xiang was stunned, raised his head and looked at Su Liuye in a daze, as if he was stunned, and stayed motionless.
Shaolan seized the opportunity to step forward in time and quietly poked her, "Miss, are you stupid with joy?" Mrs. Chu said that she would take care of you! “
Wu Xiang slowly came back to his senses, but for the first time, he didn't look at Su Liuye, but at Chu Yan, who had never had a strong sense of existence behind him, and his expression was timid, "This is ...... Is this really appropriate? Cousin-in-law he ...... Am I going to bother you? ”
"Don't worry about him," Su Liuye glanced back at him hurriedly, "They are all relatives, of course your brother-in-law will not have an opinion!" ”
"But ......"
Wu Xiang wanted to say something, but Shaolan came over again, "Miss, you should go with Mrs. Chu!" The family property owed dozens of taels for treatment at the beginning, if there was no Mrs. Chu, if those who came to ask for money came over, you would be a weak woman in the family, wouldn't that be a sheep in the tiger's mouth? “
Su Liuye's eyes suddenly froze, "What do you mean, there are still people who come to the door to find fault on weekdays?" ”
"There are more than people!" Ruilan also sighed deeply, stepped forward, and gently lifted the sleeve on Wu Xiang's arm, "Although my family is not a big family, Miss was also raised by our lord and wife in the palm of their hands!" “
"But Mrs. Chu, look at it, our master and wife have only been gone for a few days, and what has become of those debt collectors!"
"And that's not all!" Shaolan's breathing was also a little shorter, "Those people also said that if they don't see us pay back the money within three days, they will have to pay off our young lady's debts......"
"Enough!" Wu Xiang suddenly spoke up and stopped the two of them sharply, "Shaolan, Ruilan, today is the day of my parents' burial, are you saying this in front of their spirits, do you want them to be unable to close their eyes in the heavenly spirits?" ”
Shaolan and Ruilan were startled and stepped back together.
Wu Xiang wiped her tears and returned to her pitiful appearance, "My cousin, who is fine, this place is also the location of the center of the town, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to do too much......"
"As for you...... I'd better stop bothering, if my brother-in-law minded, wouldn't I become a sinner? “
In the end, Wu Xiang even forced out a smile.
Su Liuye was instantly helpless, "What you said, such a big place, is it possible that it can't fit you?" ”
Saying that, Su Liuye simply turned around and pulled Chu Yan over directly in three or two steps, "Since you're worried that he won't agree with you staying, just ask?" ”
"Husband, you say, let's take Xiaoxiang back, what do you think?"
