The stench permeating the room forced Xu Weiguo to consider the worst-case scenario.
Xu Weiguo hesitated for a moment, then took firm steps toward Grandma Xu's room.
Without much hesitation, he pushed open the slightly ajar door.
The room, which had been completely dark, became instantly bright as the door opened.
Even though Xu Weiguo had already guessed something and prepared himself mentally before pushing open the door.
But when he saw the scene inside the room, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
He heard rustling sounds behind him, and Xu Weiguo guessed that it was Xu Dabao and his group trying to come over.
He immediately shouted, "Village chief, carry them both out and don't let them come any closer!"
Village Chief Xu's body reacted faster than his brain. Although he hadn't yet figured out why they couldn't be allowed to pass, he still felt compelled to act quickly.
But the moment he heard it, he took Xu Dabao and the others away.
Village Chief Xu put them down and instructed them, "You two stay here and wait for us. Don't wander off, okay?"
Seeing that Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao both nodded obediently, Village Chief Xu turned and left.
When he returned to Xu Weiguo's side, Village Chief Xu gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Weiguo, what are you looking at? Why do you look so upset?"
Xu Weiguo remained silent with a straight face, but he slightly turned his body to the side, allowing Village Chief Xu to see the scene inside.
"vomit!"
When Village Chief Xu saw what was in the room, he vomited on the spot.
After vomiting, Village Chief Xu's first reaction was not to apologize, but to take several steps back abruptly.
"This...this...this is terrifying!!!"
Inside the room, Grandma Xu's eyes were wide open, her hands were stiff, her upper body was on the floor, and her lower body was on the bed.
Furthermore, his face had already begun to rot and infest with maggots. Without even getting close, just opening the door would send a pungent stench wafting out.
Even in this cold season, many flies still buzz around the corpse, sending chills down one's spine.
What terrified Village Chief Xu the most was Grandma Xu's unseeing expression and posture as she died.
Xu Weiguo stood at the door without going in, and said with excessive calmness, "She probably tried to get out of bed and fell and hit her head, killing herself."
"Village chief, please ask the villagers to help bury her."
"I'll pay for it."
After speaking, Xu Weiguo paused for a moment, then resolutely turned and left.
Village Chief Xu watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him.
After hesitating for a while, seeing that Xu Weiguo seemed to be leaving, he cautiously asked, "Weiguo, aren't you going to the funeral?"
Xu Weiguo didn't pause at all and said calmly, "No, I'm in a hurry to get to the Wang family."
"I would like to trouble you, village chief, to handle this. We don't need to hold a funeral; just the burial will suffice."
"I left in a hurry today and didn't bring any money with me."
"I'd appreciate it if you could pay for it first, village chief. I'll pay you back in a couple of days."
After saying that, he rode away on his bicycle with Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao on the back.
The wind seemed unusually strong today, and Xu Weiguo's hands gripped the bicycle so tightly that they began to turn white.
The wind blew up a lot of dust, which drifted into Xu Weiguo's eyes, causing his eyes to redden slightly and become watery.
......
After Xu Junhui returned, Wang Laidi and her mother-in-law stopped talking to each other.
But when Huang Eryuan brought Dundun back, they started causing trouble again.
Dundun pouted and held Huang Eryuan's hand unhappily.
He grumbled and said, "Second Grandpa~ Why didn't you wait for Dundun~"
"My aunt woke up but hasn't seen Dundun yet. She must miss Dundun!"
Huang Eryuan found Dundun's little antics really cute and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Second Grandpa."
"How could Second Grandfather not wait for Dundun? It's really wrong of him!"
"How about Second Grandpa apologizes to Dundun?"
"When we go back later, your second grandpa will take you to buy some delicious food, and then you'll forgive him, okay?"
Dun Dun was taken away right after breakfast today and hasn't had lunch yet.
He's fine when food isn't mentioned, but now that food is on the table, Dun Dun belatedly realizes how hungry he is.
"Gurgle~"
Dun Dun covered his stomach sheepishly and smiled sheepishly.
"Second Grandpa~ Dun Dun is hungry~"
Huang Eryuan looked at Dundun with some surprise: "Dundun, haven't you had lunch yet?"
Dun Dun nodded, looking pitifully at Huang Eryuan.
This is the first time Dun Dun has been hungry for so long.
Actually, it wasn't just Dun Dun who didn't eat lunch; Xu Weiguo didn't eat either.
However, after Xu Weiguo brought Dundun back, he didn't mention that they hadn't eaten anything yet.
Since Dun Dun himself didn't complain of being hungry, they naturally assumed that they had already eaten.
After all, Dun Dun never neglects his stomach; whenever he's hungry or wants to eat something, he'll tell you.
After receiving Dun Dun's affirmative answer, Huang Eryuan picked Dun Dun up and quickly walked towards the ward.
"Is there anything to eat? Dundun hasn't had lunch yet."
The first thing Huang Eryuan did upon arriving at the ward was to ask Chen Zhaodi and the others for food.
Huang Qinqin was initially delighted to see Dundun, but she was heartbroken to hear that Dundun hadn't eaten yet.
She forced a smile at Dun Dun, trying to appear as natural as possible, despite the pain.
She waved to Dundun and said, "Dundun, come here and let your auntie see. Auntie has some eggs here."
Upon hearing Huang Qinqin's voice, Dundun struggled to get off Huang Eryuan.
Before Dundun could even reach Huang Qinqin's bedside, Wang Laidi's shrill voice rang out again.
"Tsk tsk!"
“Some people look respectable, even going so far as to be hospitalized to give birth, yet they don’t even feed their babies.”
"So heartless! It would be a miracle if they cared about children!"
Chen Zhaodi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to barely control herself from hitting anyone.
Although Huang Eryuan and Xu Junhui were very angry, they didn't want to argue with her too much, so they just endured it.
Huang Qinqin didn't care what she said at all and acted as if she hadn't heard it.
"Come on, Dun Dun, have an egg to fill your stomach first, then you can go home for dinner in a little while."
Huang Qinqin handed Dundun an egg and, while he was eating it, carefully checked him to make sure he wasn't injured.
She was completely relieved when she found that Dun Dun had no injuries.
Wang Laidi saw that Huang Qinqin and her group completely ignored her.
Feeling extremely annoyed, I blurted out in a fit of anger, "Look at your hypocritical face!"
"It's obviously just an act for us. Aren't they afraid of causing tragedy for both mother and child?"
Snap! Snap snap snap!
"ah!"
