While the three women were talking in low voices, Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan came back together.

"Mother-in-law, eldest aunt, fifth aunt..." Xiang Shengnan greeted the three of them next to Shuner, and then stood behind Xiaoduo.

Sun and others responded one after another.

Xiaoduo came forward and said to Sun and the others, "Shengnan was busy discussing funeral matters there. The uncle was very worried and the father-in-law was not in good health. It was Shengnan who was shouldering the burden. Seeing my mother and you coming, Shengnan took the time.

Come back and say hello to you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun and others looked at Xiang Shengnan with more kindness.

Xiaoduo said to Xiang Shengnan again, "Since you've said hello, go back to the old house quickly, lest they find you later and have to worry again. I'll stay at home for a while and feed Jiaojiao something to eat later."

.”

Xiang Shengnan nodded, spoke to Sun and the others again, turned around and left in a hurry.

Of course, before leaving, he came to the cradle, glanced at Jiaojiao, leaned down and touched Jiaojiao's little cheek lightly.

When he left, Bao Suyun glanced at Jiaojiao, smiled and said, "Young people today love children more than we did back then."

Da Sun said, "We were in pain at that time, but they were too embarrassed to kiss our children because of their dignity, so they kept it in their hearts."

Sun said, "That's true. I'm afraid Shengnan came back in a hurry. On the one hand, he wanted to say hello to us and fulfill his etiquette, and most importantly, he wanted to be charming."

Xiao Duo felt extremely comfortable listening to the big guys' words.

It's a pity that what happened to my mother-in-law now means she is not in the mood to laugh or talk about Xiang Shengnan's doting on her daughter.

"Mom, Jiaojiao seems to be awake. I'm here to feed her. I have to go there later."

Xiaoduo said and sat on the edge of the bed.

Mrs. Sun wrapped Jiaojiao in a small blanket and stuffed it into Xiaoduo's arms.

The child was struggling to eat. Xiaoduo looked at the child tenderly, with a smile of happiness on the corners of her lips.

The Sun family members sat aside and stayed with her quietly. After a long time, the eldest Sun family member couldn't help but ask Xiao Duo, "Duo'er, what's going on with your mother-in-law? Why did she die just like that?"

Xiaoduo's face paled slightly and her lips pursed slightly.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Da Sun, and sighed softly, "Hey, I feel bad talking about this. If I knew that my mother-in-law had such a temper, I shouldn't have said that to her in the first place, let alone forced her to do so.

She went to her parents’ house to get the things back…”

Da Sun frowned and said, "Duo'er, why are you saying exactly the same thing as what your mother said? That's not the truth. According to what you said, those who have done wrong things and done bad things and don't know how to repent will be punished.

If you use your own life to threaten and kidnap others, then there will be no right or wrong in this world."

"Auntie, I understand the truth, but I can't say these words, because I see that uncle and Shengnan... seem to be very upset and blaming themselves..." Xiaoduo whispered.

Da Sun sighed.

Bao Suyun said, "The dead are the most important. It is human nature for them to feel sad when something like this happens. At this juncture, I will definitely not blame your mother-in-law. She must be taking the blame for herself. We don't need to take it personally."

go."

"Especially Xiaoduo, just do your duty as a daughter-in-law. When it's time to wear sackcloth and mourn, wear sackcloth and mourn. You are not wrong. Maybe this is God's will. I can only blame your mother-in-law for only having such a short lifespan.

"

Da Sun nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Suyun can still speak. I actually think so too, but I can't say it."

Mrs. Sun also took over the words and said, "Listen to your fifth aunt, the deceased is the most important. At this time, there is no need to find out who is right and who is wrong. Arrange the funeral properly and send her to her grave!"

The funeral of Mr. Sheng's wife lasted three days and three nights.

On the morning when the coffin was about to be carried up the mountain, Uncle Shengnan couldn't help but make a fuss. He wanted to ask Lao Xiang's family for an explanation as to why his good-natured sister couldn't think of hanging herself after marrying into Lao Xiang's family. This matter must be explained.

statement.

If you can't give an explanation, give a sum of money to appease your mother's family.

As a result, the cattle dealer slapped the coffin board and became furious.

"You still have the nerve to ask us for money? Don't you know who killed her?"

The cattle dealer pointed at Shengnan's two uncles and roared.

"Haven't you gotten a lot of benefits from her during this period? Do you want us to take them out one by one? If you hadn't been jealous and said slanderous words in front of her, raising her face too high

Gao, she won’t have hit a dead end, it’s good that I didn’t ask you for an explanation!”

The cattle dealer almost broke the chickens, ducks and cloth with his roar.

Sheng Nan's uncle and aunt looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

Father Xiang was helped by two people and hobbled over. When he saw this, he lay down on the coffin and cried, "Mother, mother, you are so cruel. Leave me alone, how can I survive..."

The coffin board was banged and banged, and Xiang's father cried so hard that he seemed to want to follow Mr. Sheng and his wife away.

Katsuo yelled at his two uncles with red eyes and a hoarse voice, "Can you not withdraw money at this time? Can you let my mother be buried in peace? My mother is your sister. If she dies, you will be sad. You have to pay for it."

She is fighting for justice, but my mother is my father's mother-in-law and my mother. We are more sad and sad than you!"

The two uncles chattered and retreated into the crowd. The two aunts cried at the top of their lungs, saying "good sister" and "darling sister".

The coffin bearers stood up again, and amidst the powerful and desolate sound of the conch playing, the group of people helped the spirit go up the mountain.

Mr. Sheng and his wife were finally buried successfully.

The relatives and friends who came to pay their respects also dispersed one after another, but Sun and Yang Huazhong still stayed.

Mrs. Sun stayed to help Xiaoduo take care of Jiaojiao, so that Xiaoduo could be free to clean up the old house with Xiang Shengnan.

Yang Huazhong stayed to help Xiang Shengnan deal with the following matters.

During the funeral, I borrowed a lot of things from the villagers, and also dealt with Taoist priests and coffin shops. It was time to settle the accounts.

Xiang's father had been sick all the time, and he always had food in his hand. The cattle dealer was not in a very good mental state, so Yang Huazhong was mainly left to help with these things.

After lunch, the cattle dealer and Yang Huazhong planned to go back to the main house to settle the accounts. Father Xiang followed them out on crutches.

"Brother, I have something to ask you." Father Xiang said pitifully.

The cattle trader looked at his younger brother in front of him. His temples were all gray, he was leaning on a cane, his back was hunched, his voice was hoarse, and he was so haggard and old that he hardly looked like his younger brother, but more like his elder brother or an elder.

"What's the matter? Just say it." The cattle dealer lowered his voice for the first time and asked.
