Although Lü Yazhi believed what Lao Si said, she didn't believe it completely.
The fourth brother, seemingly afraid that his grandmother wouldn't believe him, dictated a plan for the restaurant's renovation and future operations to his sister.
These buckwheat leaves were not mixed in.
She is busy preparing to attend Huo Dongqing and Tang Yuanyuan's wedding.
After attending Huo Dongqing's wedding, they learned that the Huo family patriarch was nearing his end. They thought that if they could get things done before he passed away, and since he was still awake, the joyous occasion of the Huo family welcoming the new couple might help the patriarch recover.
However, three months after Huo Dongqing and Tang Yuanyuan got married, the old man was told by the doctor at the hospital that there was no need for further treatment.
Less than a week had passed since Grandpa Huo was sent home...
Wen Qiao was at work that day when Shen Jichuan called her, saying that the Huo family patriarch had passed away.
He let her leave work early and took Wen Qiao to visit the Huo family.
Shen Jichuan has some connection with the Huo family patriarch, while Wen Qiao, Huo Dongqing, and Tang Yuanyuan are all considered good friends.
Around four or five in the afternoon, Wen Qiao returned home, changed into a simple black outfit, and combed her hair neatly to look more solemn and dignified. Shen Jichuan, on the other hand, did not need to change his clothes.
Just as they were about to leave, the triplets returned from school with their younger brother.
Seeing that his parents were there, Da Bao asked, "Mom and Dad, where are you going?"
Wen Qiao said calmly, "Something happened at the Huo family. Your father and I are going there."
Sanbao looked at Wenqiao, took off her schoolbag and handed it to her younger brother, Lao Si, before walking directly up to Wenqiao.
"Mom, I want to go with you."
Wen Qiao said in a low voice, "Sanbao, it's not appropriate for a child like you to go about this right now."
"Did something happen to Grandpa Huo? Huo Yan's classmate's sister is in the class next to ours. I heard her talking about Huo Yan today."
Wen Qiao didn't ask any further questions.
Sanbao then said, "I'll go see Brother Huo Yan."
Shen Jichuan glanced at his wife, his eyes actually quite indifferent, and he was not very willing. In Shen Jichuan's eyes, he did not want his daughter Sanbao to get too close to any boy. After all, the child was too young, and it would be a disaster if feelings were developed from such a young age.
Moreover, Sanbao's body is special, so even if Sanbao gets married in the future, she can't just marry anyone she thinks she likes.
But the Huo family's situation is that the patriarch of the Huo family has passed away.
If it were the parents who were stopping them, it would seem rather heartless.
"Let Sanbao go with her. She's worried about Huo Yan too."
Wen Qiao nodded, took her daughter's hand, and got into the car one after the other.
When Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan arrived, several people from the Shen family had already come. They were from the military and knew Shen Jichuan.
Shen Jichuan first went with his wife to meet the Huo family.
Yan Minghui, dressed in a black dress with white cloth sashes tied around her arms and waist, greeted the mourners. Huo Dongqing, dressed in mourning clothes, kept vigil for the old man, and would also get up when he saw someone coming.
Tang Yuanyuan encountered this incident shortly after marrying into the Huo family, which made her feel distressed. However, the Huo family patriarch treated her very well. Tang Yuanyuan also knew that her husband, Huo Dongqing, was not Huo's biological son but the Huo family patriarch's adopted son.
She was worried because her sister-in-law Yan Minghui's family had always been unfriendly to her, and they had caused a scene at the wedding.
At that time, the Huo family patriarch was present, and he was able to keep things in order.
Now that the Huo family patriarch has passed away, she and Huo Dongqing will most likely have to move out of the Huo family compound.
But she also felt sorry for her sister-in-law, Yan Minghui, who was widowed young and whose son was growing up but wanted to study abroad. Several of her nephews on her mother's side were eyeing the family fortune in her hands.
Tang Yuanyuan could also see that Yan Minghui was living a very repressed life.
She couldn't be of much help anyway.
They also had no experience in handling funerals.
All I could do was call my parents and tell them that Dongqing's father had passed away.
Tang's parents arrived immediately. Tang's father was busy helping to entertain guests, offering cigarettes and water, while Tang's mother was helping with chores in the kitchen. When Yan Minghui saw this, she didn't say anything, but simply held Tang Yuanyuan's hand and said that she was kind, and that her parents were also kind. She came to help without saying anything.
Yan Minghui hasn't informed her family yet because she's afraid they'll be too domineering and cause trouble once they arrive at the Huo family's residence.
They weren't ashamed, but Yan Minghui was disgusted.
Wen Qiao first went to see Yan Minghui, said some words of comfort and condolences, and then went to talk to Tang Yuanyuan.
When Tang Yuanyuan saw Wen Qiao, she felt a warmth in her heart and told Wen Qiao about her recent medical examination.
“I just got pregnant and only just told my father about it. I didn’t expect him to leave so soon. I always feel uneasy, as if he only passed away after I told him about my pregnancy.”
Tang Yuanyuan was extremely uneasy.
But she didn't dare tell this to anyone.
Wen Qiao said softly, "You can't think like that. You should think that it was the old man who held on all this time, and finally saw his son get married. Now that you have a child, he can finally leave with his wish fulfilled."
"Yuanyuan, does Dongqing know about your pregnancy?"
