Chapter 206 I Can’t Get Rich in This Life

After the mother and son finished eating, the three of them got in the car and went there.

It was still too early, and the breakfast vendors on the street hadn't set up their stalls yet, so they couldn't bring any for Li Xianglian and the other girl.

When they arrived, everything was ready to set off.

Li Xianglian's daughters were crying beside the coffin, and Mr. Chuoling was chanting blessings.

The gentleman stopped crying, and Li Xianglian and her sisters also stopped crying. With the gentleman's shout of "lift", the men lifted the coffin.

Several uncles walked in front holding incense and candles, suona players played on both sides, and everyone followed behind.

According to local customs, the son-in-law must roll around today and cannot get angry.

Song Chen took off his coat and asked Lin Lu to hold it, worried that they would roll over someone when he wasn't paying attention.

Sure enough, when they saw a pond in front of them, someone shouted to their grandsons-in-law to go there quickly.

"Just line up and come, we won't do anything."

This will happen sooner or later anyway, so we might as well hurry up.

Song Chen lay down swiftly in the boiling water, his body covered with mud, even his face was stained.

The onlookers cheered.

Lin Lu found a piece of paper and wiped the mud off his face.

Song Chen: "No need to wipe it so clean, there might still be some left."

From home to the mountain, I rolled four times in total.

My whole body was soaked, but luckily the sun had risen and the temperature was not that low.

The next step was burial, but Lin Lu and the others were not allowed to see it. Only at the end, when the body was covered and the tombstone was erected, were the younger generations allowed to kowtow.

After going down the mountain, there is nothing to do. You can go home after having breakfast.

Several guests from Kyoto didn't sleep well last night and went with us in the morning. However, their expressions looked a little strange and not as gentle as yesterday.

They didn't seem to be used to the food here, and each of them only tasted a little bit of breakfast.

Some of the people who came to help left, while some waited to watch the show for a while, wondering if the people from Kyoto would leave something for the Li family, or bring someone with them.

I heard that the old man yesterday had invited Lin Lu to go to Kyoto in the future, and said that he could find a job for her.

Finally, the three of them suggested leaving.

Several uncles kindly asked to stay for a few more nights, saying that they didn’t know when they would see each other again in the future.

Xu Wanglin: "You are busy too, so I won't bother you any more. But we want to take my uncle to Kyoto to live for a while. What do you think?"

Take the old man to Kyoto?

His health was not very good to begin with, and it would take several days to get from here to Kyoto. He couldn't handle the hassle.

But Lin Lu didn't say anything, and asked her mother to speak.

Li Xianglian stood in front and said, "No need. My dad is not young anymore and can't sit in the car for such a long time. We appreciate your kindness. If you miss him, you can come back every year to visit him."

The eldest uncle was unhappy: "Hey, elder sister, what are you talking about? Dad has never left the mountains in his entire life. Since my cousins are willing to go, then let's go. I'll let Jinhua Jinke go with him to take care of him. He will definitely take good care of Dad. Others who want to go don't have this opportunity yet. Kyoto, you think anyone can go if they want to? You can even take Dad to see the Chairman's statue."

He spoke so beautifully that Li Jinyang also actively said: "We can stay with grandpa for a few days."

Li Jinlong couldn't be the last one to do such a good thing: "I'll go too. I don't have anything to do at home."

Li Jinhua: "If they go, I'll go too."

Li Jinwu: “…”

You don't work anymore, right?

Lin Lu found it funny. These people were really impatient.

"It's no use just wanting to go. Why don't you ask Grandpa if he wants to go? If he doesn't go, you can't go either."

My aunt said, "What do you know, kid? When an old man says he doesn't want to go, does that mean he really doesn't want to go? He's just worried about spending money. Your grandpa has lived to this age, and we definitely won't let him be without money. You should give him some too. Your grandpa and grandma love you so much, and it's so hard for him to go out and play, so you should help yourself."

The second and third aunts echoed, "Yes, Xiaolu's family is rich, so you should pay the lion's share."

Li Xianglian was so angry that she really wanted to kick these people to death.

"Shame on you! What are his grandsons going to do with him? Are they going to enjoy themselves? If they go, they have to pay. If they can't afford the life of a good person, then there's no need to go."

Lin Lu: "If Grandpa wants to go, I will definitely give him money. As for how much, that depends on my cousins. I will give as much as they give."

My second aunt curled her lips and said, "Your family is so rich, yet you are still so calculative."

Song Chen: "Our family's money didn't come from the wind. Auntie, if it's so easy to pick up, why don't you go pick it up?"

There were people watching outside, and Li Xianglian didn't want to be laughed at, so she went to the room and asked her father.

Everyone wanted to know the answer, so they all followed. When they heard with their own ears that the old man wanted to go, Li Jinyang and the others laughed as if they were free.

Finally I can go to Kyoto.

My aunt's voice was harsh and her smile was mean. "Your grandfather promised to go. You said you would give it to him, so give it to him now."

Afraid that Lin Lu would go back on his word.

Lin Lu: "How much will each of you give, cousins?"

Second Aunt: "Don't worry about them for now. Your grandpa won't starve if they follow him. Just take your share first."

Grandpa sat up and asked, "What are you talking about? Why do I need Xiaolu's money?"

Lin Lu was not just talking nonsense, she just gave it to her as she said. For the gift today, Song Chen brought some extra money with him, and together with the money in Lin Lu's own pocket, the total amount was five hundred yuan.

It’s a very big deal.

"Grandpa, I haven't been filial to you two these years. Take this little money. When you get there, eat whatever you want. Don't worry about the train tickets. My cousins will buy them for you. Just buy something you like."

The old man refused to take it, so Lin Lu put it in his pocket.

When the aunts saw the five hundred yuan, their eyes widened.

Really give so much.

Before I could even figure out what was going on, I heard Lin Lu say, "Cousins, please help keep an eye on Grandpa and don't let anyone steal his money."

Li Jinyang smiled brightly: "Don't worry, we are watching."

When the villagers saw Lin Lu taking the money, they asked, "What about you Jin Yang? How much do you plan to give to your grandfather? Your grandfather has been very good to you over the years."

"That's right, Lin Lu has already given so much to her granddaughter. You better not fall behind, or you'll be laughed at."

It's over, it's too late to get off the tiger.

My aunt said: "Of course it will be a lot. My son has gone with them. We have to rely on them for food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

Someone said loudly: "Aren't you going to stay at your cousin's house? You must have eaten there. Then why are they going there? Just to eat for free?"

Lin Lu folded his hands and said with a smile: "Cousin, you guys get a lot of salary every month. If you spend grandpa's money, you will never get rich in this life."
