A lucky wife born again from a farm family

While sorting out the things in the coffin, Lao Yan said with tears, "Sister Mei, this child is considered lucky."

In other families, if an unmarried girl dies, they won't even hold a funeral, let alone a grand burial. The kind-hearted man dug a hole and buried it, but the man who didn't want to bother rolled it up with a mat, took it to the mountains and threw it away.

Dafu spent a lot of money to organize this funeral for Sister Mei, so that she could go away in glory.

As he spoke, Lao Yan thought of his own granddaughters, Cui Niu and Hong Niu. He didn't know whether they were alive or dead now. If unfortunately they die, will someone bury them?

Thinking of her granddaughters and Mrs. Xie, Lao Yan shed even more tears.

Mrs. Chen cried for several days, but now that she is buried, she has become much calmer.

She put the remaining rouge and gouache, an extra set of brocade dresses, handkerchiefs, silk flowers, spice bags and other things into the coffin one by one: "These are all what you like, don't say that your family doesn't love you. , I have bought them all for you now. I bought twenty-four silk flowers, which are much prettier than the ones Zou Yuwan gave you. When you get down there, you change them every day... When you see your mother, help your second aunt to give them to her. Just tell me that Second Aunt will pay your debt first, and when Brother Wang and Brother Fa get married and start a business, I will go down and kowtow to her to apologize."

Before her death, the elder sister-in-law had been worried that someone would criticize Sister Mei's identity as the widowed eldest daughter. She begged her to take good care of Sister Mei. She promised well, but she failed to take good care of Sister Mei. She died at an average age.

Then he said: "You are fierce, but your mother has a good temper. Don't bully your mother when you get down there, or I will deal with you again when I get down there!"

Mrs. Chen originally didn't want to cry, but she shed tears again as she spoke. She stood by the coffin and chatted a lot with Gu Yumei. It wasn't until Mrs. Chu came to remind her that it was time for burial that she stopped and looked at the contents of the coffin again to make sure that nothing was missing. Then he stepped aside.

Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui personally closed the coffin and hammered the nails in.

Gu Yumei was not married and had no children or grandchildren to be buried in the funeral. The only people in her family who were younger than her were Gu Dewang and Gu Defa, so the two brothers were captured and walked at the front of the funeral procession to bury Gu Yumei.

Logically speaking, this is against the rules, and Village Chief He also said that this is not good. However, Mrs. Chen felt sorry for Gu Yumei and did not mind that her two sons held banners and scattered paper money for Gu Yumei's funeral.

Gu Dewang and Gu Defa had already accepted the death of Gu Yumei. After crying for a few days in fear and sadness, they were no longer afraid. They just did whatever Chen told them to do.

Gu Yumei's coffin was delivered to the mountain with a lot of beating and beating. After two hours of work, Gu Yumei was finally buried.

People from several families followed and went to see Gu Yumei off for the last time.

Luo Huiniang was very sad. She cried all the way, holding the hands of Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu. She was afraid and blamed herself and said: "I want to save her... but I can't..."

Gu Jinxiu lowered her voice and said to her: "Stop talking. If you have anything to say, come to my house to sleep at night and then talk to me and Xiaoyu."

Now there are so many people here, including the rich uncle and his family. If they hear it, they will be sad again... maybe they will feel uncomfortable and it will be bad for Huiniang.

Luo Huiniang stopped talking after hearing this, but her tears kept falling, and she kept saying sorry to Gu Yumei in her heart.

After Gu Yumei was buried, several families took turns to offer incense to her. When Gu Jinli was offering incense, he threw a piece of paper into the pottery basin where the paper money was burning, and said to Gu Yumei's grave: "This is a recipe for tofu and a recipe for spices." You've always wanted to know about the recipe and the braised recipe, but now I'm cooking it for you, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

When Gu Dafu heard this, he cried and said, "Xiaoyu, thank you. Sister Mei has always wanted these recipes. If you burn them for her, she will have no regrets."

Gu Yumei's death was a great blow to Gu Dafu. He cried loudly in front of Gu Yumei's grave, and finally fainted and was carried down the mountain by men from several families.

That night, she developed a high fever and talked nonsense. One moment, she called her daughter-in-law, saying that she was sorry for her. The next moment, she called Village Chief Gu, saying that he was useless and failed to protect her family. Then she called Gu Yumei, asking her to vote for him in the next life. Good luck, don't ever meet a father with no money and power like him again.

Gu Dexing was so frightened that he was afraid that Gu Dafu would just pass by. He stayed by Gu Dafu's bed and did not dare to go anywhere.

Gu Dagui was so anxious that he hurried to Gu Jinli's house for help. Gu Dashan got up overnight and went to the workshop to call Kan Liu and Mutong and took them to see Gu Dafu.

Both Kan Liu and Mutong were skilled in medicine. After Mutong gave Gu Dafu an acupuncture, he wrote a prescription and went directly to the pharmaceutical workshop to pick up the medicinal materials and boil them.

After Gu Dafu was given the decoction, he calmed down and stopped talking nonsense.

At dawn the next day, the high fever in his body also subsided, but Gu Dafu was too stimulated. In the past few days, he ran to the county seat every day to wait for Zou Hai to be arrested. His body was already exhausted and he was unconscious for two days. wake up.

After waking up, Gu Dafu's body became even more stale, and his temples began to turn gray. He stayed in bed for more than ten days before he could get out of bed.

Gu Dafu's illness frightened the third grandfather and the rest of his family.

The third grandma said with red eyes: "He has held on for too long... When his father and Ru Niang died, he was a little weak. He was holding on for the sake of the two children. Now Sister Mei is dead again , we have stabilized, he doesn’t need to hold on any longer, and that’s when he fell ill.”

The Third Grandpa sighed: "It's better to be sick than this. After getting sick, the pain in his heart will be over. Otherwise, he will always keep it in his heart, feeling sorry for this or that, and he will not be better off in the rest of his life." "

Gu Jinli didn't have a deep impression of Village Chief Gu and Aunt Ru. He only knew that Gu Dafu admired Village Chief Gu and loved his wife. People in his hometown village said that Aunt Ru married a good man. But Gu Dafu felt that he was overestimating himself, saying that if his aunt was literate, he could marry her only because of his status as the village chief's son.

The main reason why Village Chief Gu's family pampers Gu Yumei is because Aunt Ru's mother-in-law wants to educate Gu Yumei well and then rely on Aunt Ru's mother-in-law's connections to marry into a scholar's family.

It's a pity that after escaping from famine, Gu Dafu's family lost contact with Aunt Ru's natal family, and now they don't know where Aunt Ru's natal family has gone.

Just two days after Gu Dafu was able to go to the fields, Luo Wu came back, found his home, and said: "Zou Hai's family members in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and Zhongzhou have been taken to Tianfu County. Aunt Yao and her group of photographers The matter has almost been investigated, and tomorrow we will go to court for sentencing. County Magistrate Xu said that your family is a victim of suffering, so you can go to court to hear the trial."

He added: "Zou Hai has family wealth in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and Zhongzhou. County Magistrate Xu said that he will compensate your family when the time comes."
