Chapter 453 The Best Way
"Buy a cemetery plot?" Yao Shula was a little surprised.
Yao Shuxin, on the other side of the ocean, reiterated this statement on the phone with great certainty.
"Yes, it's about buying a burial plot! Sister, isn't there a saying in China that burial brings peace? Yao Guohua never had a peaceful life, so let him rest in peace now that he's dead. Let him stay in the cemetery and stop thinking about causing trouble for others."
We can't just watch him die without a proper burial!
Sister, I've also heard that if someone dies and there's nowhere to bury them, it will affect the luck of their descendants.
"The three of us are doing well now, we can't let him affect us anymore. It's just a burial plot, right? We can afford it! Buying a plot will shut some people up. When others talk about this, they'll say we don't hold grudges, we have a broad mind, and it's good for your reputation, sister." Yao Shuxin's reasoning was very sound.
Yao Shula was stunned for a long time.
Buying a burial plot! It really is the best way to put an end to that physiological relationship.
However, for a medical doctor like Yao Shuxin to talk about something as mysterious as luck... well, that must have been a bit tough for her!
“Okay, I understand! I’ll call Grandma in a bit and then send the money back.” Yao Shula readily agreed.
Yao Shuxin quickly started chatting with Yao Shula about other things.
The recent experiment was extremely difficult. Not only did she fail, but the teachers and students in the lab also failed. Everyone was saying that they would be the first among them to succeed in this experiment.
The food here is still terrible, so she's started counting calories when she eats. As long as she gets the nutrients she needs each day, the taste doesn't matter anymore.
Finally, Yao Shuxin reminded Yao Shula to take good care of herself, as there was a flu outbreak in North America recently. Although her older sister was in Shanghai, she should still take precautions and avoid crowded places...
Yao Shula agreed to all of them.
After hanging up Yao Shuxin's call, Yao Shula immediately began making arrangements.
First, I need to call Yun County and tell them that my siblings and I will send money back to buy a burial plot.
Then I went to the bank to transfer the money.
Oh, I need to check out the store first before making any further arrangements...
Yao Shula immediately began making arrangements in an orderly manner.
...
Grandma Yao was already sitting in Wang Hehua's yard.
Although Yao Guohua was unfilial, and Grandma Yao had said countless times that she no longer had a son like him, she suddenly felt exhausted after he actually passed away.
Grandma Yao had thought that her third son wouldn't have a good ending, but she was still a little surprised that he was gone just like that.
Grandma Yao always blamed herself. Yao Guohua, with his personality, must have his own responsibility; it was her fault for not raising the child well...
He kept saying that after he died, Yao Guohua was not allowed to attend his funeral, nor was Yao Guohua required to wear mourning clothes...
But now Yao Guohua has died before Grandma Yao, and Grandma Yao is going to have to bury her son.
"Auntie, well... he's been acting strange for the past two days. He's always spacing out and saying some weird things."
I didn't take it seriously. The snack shop was busy, and he could eat and drink a lot, so I didn't think it was a big deal.
Who knew that yesterday evening he would suddenly fall off his wheelchair and lose consciousness.
Auntie, this is the five thousand yuan he's been keeping. He put it in an envelope, and there's a note inside.
He wrote in the note, "Give me a thousand, give my two kids a thousand, give you a thousand, and the remaining two thousand to... Shura and her two siblings."
This is the envelope, and the remaining five thousand yuan... is what was left over from the compensation they gave him back then.
"The money's all here!" Wang Hehua said, placing a very old kraft paper envelope in front of Grandma Yao.
Grandma Yao didn't say anything, she just pushed the envelope back.
Wang Hehua sat there with Grandma Yao without saying a word.
The room fell silent immediately.
Uncle Yao and his son have already started arranging Yao Guohua's funeral.
Although Yao Guohua's reputation is bad now, and the things he did back then made him a laughing stock in Yun County, now that he's gone, people don't mention many of those things anymore.
In Yun County, the custom is that anyone with connections must make a trip here.
Yao Guohua had given away quite a few gifts before, and there were people who returned the favor.
Former colleagues from the machinery factory, as well as some classmates, all came to give gifts, some more than others.
A simple mourning shed was set up in front of Wang Hehua's courtyard. People who came burned some paper money, gave their condolence money, and then sat down to say a few simple words.
Although Uncle Yao didn't like his younger brother, now was the time for him to step forward.
He arranged for his son to help with the arrangements.
It only takes two days of work, which can be considered as sending this younger brother off on his final journey.
Aunt Yao also came with her daughters-in-law.
At this point, no one cared about how outrageous Yao Guohua had been or how much he had hurt everyone. In their eyes, death was the end of all debts, and it was time to let go of what needed to be let go!
...
"Lotus, you've worked so hard these past two years!" Grandma Yao finally spoke again.
Wang Hehua was stunned at first, and then her eyes suddenly reddened.
She didn't know why she was feeling sad, but she still remembered the first time she met Yao Guohua.
At that time, Yao Guohua was wearing a slightly old but neat work uniform. He went up to the machinery factory next to the village and fixed the broken machine after fiddling with it for a while.
In Wang Hehua's eyes, Yao Guohua was a hundred times better than those old bachelors in the village who were always trying to take advantage of her.
Those old bachelors were always filthy, their faces and hands looked like they could never be washed clean, and their hair looked like it hadn't been washed for a month or two.
Yao Guohua and them are completely different kinds of people.
So this is what city people are like! How come city people are so good! They're clean and tidy, get paid monthly, and their workplaces even give them things, unlike them who have to rely on God for their livelihood.
I wish I could live the life of a city dweller.
Although the villagers told him that the respectable man in her eyes had made a mistake in the city and was transferred here, and that his lifestyle... was not very good.
Wang Hehua smiled. Isn't this normal? Is it bad morals? Are some people in the village really that good at it?
They're all the same!
She was even a little relieved; if Yao Guohua were all good, would he have come to the village?
Would I even have the chance to get close to him? It's impossible!
Wang Hehua would often bring food to Yao Guohua and also help him wash his clothes.
Yao Guohua did not refuse and accepted Wang Hehua's kindness.
Under Wang Hehua's scheme, Yao Guohua was forced to marry her and bring her into the city...
