Chapter 138: two funerals
Chapter 138 Two families hold funerals
Listening to the hustle and bustle in the room, Chu Nanzhi had some little treasures in her heart, and walked upstairs unknowingly.
The light in the west wing was still on, and when he got to the door, he saw Lin Jinxiao sitting beside the bed. He was quietly watching the little guys on the bed, as if thinking deeply.
Chu Nanzhi walked in lightly. Seeing her figure, Dabao and Sibao got up from the bed one after another, ran over and hugged her thigh tightly.
Dabao Lin Ruiwen was about to make a sound, Chu Nanzhi hissed softly, his eyes turned to look at the sleeping Erbao, Sanbao and Xiao Muci, bent down to look at the two little guys, and said softly: "It's dawn and you I have to wear mourning for my great grandpa, now go to bed obediently, tomorrow will be very hard."
Little Sibao Lin Ruijia shook her head with a bitter face, hugged her tightly with both hands, and called in her ear sadly: "Mother."
"Auntie is here."
Chu Nanzhi hugged Sibao, but heard the little guy sobbing softly.
Dabao thought about Chu Wenyu's tragic death, and gritted his teeth resentfully: "Mother, grandpa was forced to death by grandma and uncle. I want to avenge grandpa."
Chu Nanzhi frowned, stared intently at the angry Dabao, and said in a solemn voice: "What you have to do now is to grow up obediently. Aniang is here to avenge your grandpa."
Hearing these words, Lin Jinxiao squeezed her hand in his palm with some excitement, and said anxiously: "Don't be impulsive and reckless, I will do these things for you."
Chu Nanzhi was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand and said in a daze, "Lin Dalang, don't be brave anymore."
The fair face suddenly became hot and hot, extending all the way to the base of the ears, and the blush on her cheeks could be clearly noticed when the light was projected.
Lin Jinxiao also immediately realized his reckless behavior, and sat up straight again embarrassedly, and explained to her in a low voice: "Although the Qi family is a merchant family, it should not be underestimated. It has been operating in Luyan Port for several generations. Back then, my father When you are in office, you can't accuse the Qi family of your uncle's affairs, let alone you."
"I know."
Chu Nanzhi wanted to interrupt him, but Lin Jinxiao became a little annoyed: "Listen to me, the Qi family's family history is not glorious, Qi Yujie knows that you have Hu Maoxi and two mentors behind you, but still dare to say What you just said just now shows that she has no fear, it is easy to hide a spear and it is difficult to defend against it, you should be more careful in the future, and you will worry about everything after I recover from my injury."
Although he knew that this woman was scheming, she was a fearless character after all, and it was indeed frightening to be crazy, but these were far from enough to deal with the tricky family of the Qi family who took everything in black and white.
Being so ardently cared by him, Chu Nanzhi was terrified.
And she also felt that this little white face seemed to have seen through herself completely, but he was really a delicate guy.
She pretended to be calm and pulled Dabao and Sibao to him, and said earnestly: "I have my own plan, you don't have to worry about it, what you have to do now is to take good care of your wounds, take care of several children, and don't want anything else." Think about it, Lin Dalang, if you do something wrong again this time, I really can't bring you back to life."
These words were not meant to scare him. His injuries had recurred twice before and after.
Lin Jinxiao pouted his alluring little mouth in disbelief, speechless, quietly staring at the sleeping little fellows on the bed, and then ordered to Dabao Sibao: "Listen to Mommy, go to bed and sleep well, Stop messing around."
Seeing this, Dabao and Sibao glanced back and forth at their parents, and obediently crawled back to the bed and lay down.
Chu Nanzhi felt relieved and went downstairs to help everyone arrange the funeral.
After dawn, Chu Nanzhi was really tired, sat in the side room and took a nap, but when she woke up, she heard Liu Chengming arguing with someone.
Chu Nanzhi got up in a panic, and when she arrived in the courtyard, she saw Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife frowning tightly, and Liu Chengming scolded several young juniors angrily.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi coming out, Liu Chengming walked up to her restlessly and complained: "Niece, what are you talking about? Not enough people? Do you have to go all the way to our village to invite people?"
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help raising her eyebrows and smiling bitterly, which was clearly intended to embarrass her Chu family on purpose.
Liu Yun was also very angry, cursing and saying: "Qi, this **** is really shameless, she asked people to spread rumors around the county to slander your uncle, and said that our family wants to hold this funeral Earning money, holding your uncle's body and refusing to return it, I had to take your uncle's clothes and put them in the coffin, preparing to make a dignified burial for him."
Between speech and demeanor, he showed no intention of forbearance to the woman.
"Mother don't care."
Anyway, the Chu family did not organize this funeral to make money. She calmly said to Liu Chengming, "Uncle, let's do it according to the situation. The clansmen who came here last night are still there. If there are not enough people, we sisters can help."
"Just a few elders from our Liu and Chu families came."
Liu Chengming curled his lips angrily: "A group of people are blind to money, and eat things from the inside out."
Just as he was talking, he saw Mrs. Su and a little Taoist priest walking in one after another.
The little Taoist directly passed several people and rushed into the mourning hall, while Su Shi tiptoed to Liu Chengming's side and whispered in front of his ear: "The housekeeper Qin of the Qi family came here in person and took five liang of silver for you to go." The city presides over the funeral, so hurry back."
Her voice was loud or small, so that Chu Nanzhi's mother and daughter heard clearly, and they looked at each other with embarrassment.
Liu Chengming clenched his fist, pushed Su Shi over, and said righteously:
"You ignorant woman, you have never seen silver, have you? You ruined my reputation for five taels of silver. As Lizheng of Tong'an Village and the head of the Liu family, it is my bounden duty to attend the funeral for the village. She The mistress of the Qi family is mean and domineering, but she doesn’t even want to go back with her husband’s body. How can she have the face to attend to the funeral for the deceased? Why don’t you hurry up and return the money to others, and call me back those useless ones to help my niece’s family with the funeral .”
Su didn't expect this old thing to scold herself face to face, so she didn't want to get angry anymore, she looked around everyone and said awkwardly: "Niece, Wenbi, sister Yun, don't bother with me, I really didn't consider this matter properly, I am Then go and call my Dalang and Erlang back."
Chu Nanzhi didn't expect such a critical moment, but Liu Chengming had a clear stand. It seems that he misunderstood him yesterday.
But this kind of thing can't be blamed on Mrs. Su, people's sophistication is a difficult scale.
She looked at Liu Chengming and his wife full of gratitude, and said: "Uncle, don't be harsh on my aunt, and my aunt should not blame herself. This is a matter between my Chu family and the Qi family, but it is difficult for you to be caught in the middle and suffer. My niece is really sorry." .”
"They all belong to the folks in the village, so there is no need to say more about my niece."
Su waved his hand: "Wait until I call back those two useless ones, settle down the children, and bring your two sister-in-laws over here."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Chu Nanzhi felt warm in her heart when she heard this.
