Chapter 32
"You little girl, you're so arrogant. What can you fight against God for? You should be thankful that your fate is useless, otherwise you will suffer the same fate sooner or later!" Yu Ming looked at Su Yun with a sneer, his old eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
Su Yun gently waved his folding fan and said, "What I want is very simple. Every debt has its perpetrator. Of course, the debt owed to me must be returned to me. Although, my fate should have been replaced by the Su family, right?"
Yu Ming refused to answer this question just now, and now he remained silent. As long as Su Yun's past fate was mentioned, he looked like he would never speak.
However, Su Yun didn't care. Yu Ming's reaction was enough. If he wanted to mislead him, he should have found a way to speak. He didn't dare to say a word and didn't even want to tell a lie. It only proved that he was really scared, even more scared than Jinglingmen.
If you tell Yu Ming now that he can survive by insulting the former leader of the Jingling Sect, then he might be able to curse differently for seven days and seven nights.
Su Yun squatted down in front of Yu Ming and said, "Mr. Yu, I have a guess. My fate may be really good. So even if the Su family killed one of the three baby girls born at the same time, they would have to replace me. But in addition to letting Su Yun survive, they also want my fate to bring prosperity to the Su family, right?"
In the past, Su Yun always thought that the Su family stole her back to replace Su Yun because they wanted her to take on Su Yun's fate. The Su family once explained to her that "whoever is the eldest daughter of the Su family will die at the age of 20", so in order to survive the fate, the Su family specially found a baby girl with an extremely good fate to replace her.
The reason for choosing Su Yun was, one, to allow Su Yun to survive. After all, the Su family had a deep love for each other. However, when the love between them disappeared, they still chose to let Su Yun stay in the Su family instead of letting Su Yun come back. They must have felt that the love they once had was still there, and they had endured for so many years, so of course they had to endure it.
However, judging from how Su Yun later secretly got closer to Su Yun, they still couldn't help but go and see their daughter.
The second reason is probably that Su Yun's fate brings good luck to her family. Looking back at the development of the Su family in those years, they were able to turn danger into safety every time and rise higher. The business became bigger and bigger. The fact that Su Yun could become the little princess in the center of Bincheng was also due to the rapid development momentum of the Su family.
The Su family couldn't help but be attracted by the good fortune brought by Su Yun's fate, so they might have started to have evil thoughts about Su Yun's fate a long time ago.
At first, they might just want their daughter to survive. As the business prospers, they will think, what a pity it is to lose such a fate? It would be great if this fate could stay in the Su family forever.
Knowing clearly that Su Yun would die without the Su family having to do anything, and wanting Su Yun's fate, the Su family would easily think of another way - since Su Yun was going to die instead of Su Yun, why didn't they secretly switch their fates when Su Yun died?
Su Yun was going to die anyway, so the Su family could not do anything to lose their virtue by doing this. It would be a bastard not to take advantage of a good opportunity. Now that Su Yun was dead, her fate would be ownerless, and the Su family just secretly took it away before anyone else could take action.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that Su Yun had lived longer than twenty years and left the Su family, but had not died. And the delay of two years could be explained - the Su family might have invited a highly skilled master to delay the death for two years, tying Su Yun's fate with Su Yun's. As soon as Su Yun died, their fates would be swapped immediately.
If this fate had not been taken away, Su Yiling and Ji Weitang would not have been three hours late. If they had caught up with them in those three hours, Su Yun would not have died. This helped Su Yun survive the inevitable death at the age of twenty.
However, fate is something that cannot be changed. The prediction that "whoever becomes the eldest daughter of the Su family for twenty years will die at the age of twenty" eventually came true and was not changed because of Su Yun's fate.
Yu Ming did not answer any of Su Yun's questions. He would never speak a word on this matter.
Su Yun did not intend to force him to answer, and continued to ask: "But, since my fate has been replaced, my fate is in Su Yun's body, which means that even if the mastermind behind the scenes got my internal organs and eyes, they still couldn't use my fate for themselves. But why don't they continue to hunt down Su Yun?"
Almost four years have passed since Su Yun's death. Su Yun has been able to thrive in the Su family thanks to her fate. If the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to, they could have kidnapped her again and taken all her internal organs. But they didn't. Judging from Yu Ming's reaction, they should be trying to find someone with a fate as good as Su Yun's.
"Is it that they cannot use the fate that has been changed, or is it that my fate... cannot be used?" Without waiting for Yu Ming to answer, Su Yun continued to ask.
Yu Ming raised his eyelids but still said nothing, pretending to be a mute.
Su Yun smiled softly, "You don't have to be so rude to me. I told you that I have no grudge against you. Your son was killed because he was half-zombie. If he was sent to a good family to be adopted, I would definitely not do it. And the talisman would not have killed him. The problem is that you didn't take good care of him, and the talisman took effect. What can I do?"
Yu Ming's son is only a few years old now. According to the rules of protecting mother and child, the yellow talisman will not have much effect on them. Su Yun specially selected runes to target corpse qi and resentment. As long as the child's malicious intent is not so serious, he can be rescued.
After hearing the cause of his child's death, Yu Ming finally stopped being indifferent. The veins on his hand holding the sword bulged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You deserve to have your heart and lungs ripped out, and you deserve to die without a complete body. Sooner or later, you will die a miserable death, just like my son!"
"I've already died a miserable death once, why would I be afraid of dying a second time? To put it bluntly, I'm a ghost demanding my life. Both of us are wearing human skin to eat people, so who is nobler than who?" Su Yun sneered, stood up, and looked down at Yu Ming. "I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. Thank you for the information I gave me. If someone comes to me in the future, I will remember to thank you."
After that, Su Yun's shadow disappeared in front of Yu Ming's eyes. After a while, her voice came from all directions again: "Oh, by the way, I won't kill you, but when will your apprentice Zhao Tuhu come, when can you get out alive? Pray that your apprentice and you really have a master-disciple relationship, otherwise you will be locked up here for hundreds of years."
The next morning, the cook made some noodles that were not allowed to be added, such as pork trotter noodles and barbecued pork noodles. These were specially packaged by Che Xuming’s senior brother from Guangxi. They can be kept for a few more days and are considered dry goods. However, Bincheng is relatively humid, so if they are not eaten as soon as possible, they will still go bad. If they are quickly frozen, the taste will be much worse.
Fortunately, the cook already knew the ingredients and cooking method, and could replicate the meal after eating it.
Wu Yu was the happiest person to eat the barbecued pork rice noodles and pork trotter rice noodles. He gnawed on the braised pork trotters, his mouth full of oil: "This is the taste. I went to Guangxi for a trip before, and their pork trotters and barbecued pork were like this. Other places don't make them authentic."
The barbecued pork and braised pork feet in Guangxi mainly use sugar, but they are not as sweet as those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Instead, they have a salty and sweet taste that is unique to Guangdong and Guangxi. The spices are not heavy, and you can taste the flavor of the ingredients themselves in addition to the side dishes.
The chef said directly: "In fact, the biggest problem is that the pigs they choose don't eat feed. In the current farms, if you want to buy pigs of this quality, the price is doubled. Of course, the taste is a little worse. If Bincheng wants to buy pork with this taste, you have to go to the mountains. If you don't change the supply channel specifically, you will still feed the pork a little for the sake of its health."
A young master like Wu Yu is very picky about food. He has been eating the best since he was young. Even if the taste of pig feed is not right after a meal or there are two too many candies, he can taste it. He will not want to eat it at home, but will want to eat it outside. Naturally, the taste of the food bought is different.
Wu Jin could tell from what he was eating. He glanced at Wu Yu and said, "Be more polite. It's as if you were not given meat to eat at home."
"No, brother, I moved out by myself and didn't bring a cook with me. I have tolerated that Michelin three-star chef for a long time. Didn't you see me always going to you for free meals?" Wu Yu complained.
Among Michelin three-star chefs, Chinese cuisine is the least common. Among them, the certified Chinese chefs do not cook pure Chinese food themselves. It is called Western Chinese food. After some improvements, it was liked by Michelin judges, so they were given the title. You cannot say that such a chef has bad skills. He just used Western thinking to please the judges and get a bigger platform.
But this kind of chef is hired because of his reputation, and the food he prepares will certainly not be as good as that of local national-level chefs.
However, Wu Yu hired him for the sake of his reputation, and now he feels embarrassed to fire him, so he just keeps it to himself.
The old man of the Wu family is a traditional person. The chef in the family is a descendant of a royal chef family. The other party's father was involved in the preparation of state banquets. Wu Yu grew up in such a standard of living since he was a child. Of course, he can't get used to the Western tastes of the so-called Michelin three-star chefs abroad.
Seeing Wu Yu say this, Wu Jin sighed: "Just say that you can't take care of yourself when you go out. Besides, if you hire another master, they won't have the skills of the master master. Do you think the master's skills that he has practiced for decades are in vain?"
After all, Wu Yu would choose the best food when traveling. Of course he thought it was delicious, and the cooking skills of the chef were even more unique, definitely better than the master. This is why Wu Yu could taste similar food. If he went back and hired a chef himself, he might not be able to reach the level of the master chef.
Wu Yu immediately looked at the cook affectionately: "Master chef, come back with me? I will give you ten times the salary!"
Su Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Do you know how much the master chef earns a month?"
"You said, three thousand," Wu Yu even looked at Su Yun with disapproval, "Su Yun, don't be so stingy. The master chef is so skilled, and he is in charge of the meals for the entire funeral home. From the Manchu Han banquet to the pastries and snacks, there is nothing he can't do. Three hundred thousand is worth it!"
"After calculation, it is indeed about 300,000 a month. Mr. Wu, are you sure you can pay me ten times as much?" The cook suddenly spoke.
Wu Yu was stunned. He just said it casually. He met Su Yun's teasing gaze in amazement: "No... didn't you say it was just three thousand?"
Su Yun did not hide it: "It's a basic salary of 3,000. The bulk of their salary is included in the benefits. Because everyone's salary in this industry is between 2,000 and 8,000. I can tell they are poor as hell. If they open too high, the tax bureau will have to check the accounts once a month, and it will be very conspicuous."
The main reason is that it is eye-catching. Bincheng is not the only funeral home. If Su Yun opened the house according to the real price, what would happen if other families knew about it? Wouldn't they report her for money laundering?
Wu Yu was so shocked that the braised pork trotters in his mouth no longer tasted good, because he himself could not even earn three hundred thousand a month.
Wu Jin, who had finished his breakfast calmly, did the math for Su Yun in his mind. He was silent for a while and said, "Su Yun, if you look at it this way, the salary you pay to your employees alone is as high as one million per month. I believe the salaries of other employees won't be much less, but you don't seem to be making any money."
Especially recently, Wu Jin lived in the funeral home and found that Su Yun used the best of everything. His living standard was even better than when he was in the Su family. He doubted whether Su Yun could leave some money for her parents' retirement if she continued to spend like this.
Generally, the prominent families in Bincheng have accumulated wealth for several generations so that they can have extra money to give their children a so-called upper-class life. But as far as he knows, Su Yun's current parents were once ordinary people, and their greatest asset is the piece of land under their feet where the funeral home was built.
Su Yun thought for a while and said, "You can understand it as follows. My parents are antique dealers. When they run out of money, I go out and sell an antique. When they run out of money, I sell one. My parents left me one. Even if I sell one a month, I probably won't be able to sell all of them by the day I die."
"How is that possible? If you live to be 126 years old, do you know how many months it will take? 1,200! So many antiques, are you doing wholesale?" Wu Yu didn't believe it.
"Well, it's mainly because my parents were not picky when they did business. They also kept antiques that were once not popular. Things that were worth thousands of dollars 20 years ago are now repackaged and resold. Guess how many more zeros are at the end?" Su Yun asked softly.
At this moment, Wu Jin thought of Su Yun's various strange price lists. There was really everything and everything was sold. One can only say that some people deserve to make money. They really work hard to the extreme and will not miss any opportunity to make money.
Wu Jin coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Su and Aunt Ji have such foresight, so I feel relieved." At least there is no need to worry about Su Yun living off her savings. Her parents will definitely work hard to make money to support their daughter.
After all, they must have been very upset when Su Yun was taken away by mistake, and was taken to a famous wealthy family in Bincheng. Since they loved Su Yun, they naturally wanted to give her the best and were worried that their daughter's life would be in trouble. Although Su Yun herself might not care about this matter, who would want to bow down for a few dollars when they can enjoy life?
Originally they thought this was just an ordinary day, no different from the previous ones. After breakfast, everyone went about their business. Su Yun lay on the recliner as usual, ready to take a nap. But after ten o'clock in the morning, Wu's father called and said that the old man was in the operating room again. He asked if Wu Jin and Wu Yu could come over, and... bring Su Yun's team with them.
The previous words had already made Wu Jin and Wu Yu nervous, and the subsequent request for Su Yun to bring the team with him made the meaning very clear - the old man was in trouble the second time he went into the operating room.
Wu Jin hurriedly informed Wu Yu, and the two of them changed into black suits and went to call Su Yun who was sleeping in the yard. Now they didn't know that Yu Ming was in the funeral home, so they wanted Su Yun to go with them and take the team to the hospital later, and don't leave anyone watching in the funeral home.
As soon as Su Yun saw their clothes, she knew what had happened. Her face became serious and she no longer had her usual smile. Instead, she nodded like she did when she saw Aunt Wu off. "I understand. Wait for me for ten minutes."
Afterwards, Su Yun went to his own small building to change clothes, took out the washed linen and tied it around his arms. They were not family members. In ancient times, when seeing off the deceased, people wore linen and mourning clothes. In order to distinguish themselves from the family members, those who went to help would wear linen on their bodies to prove that they were seeing the deceased off.
Modern funeral homes do not have so many rules. Su Yiling and Ji Weitang simply tied a piece of linen on their arms. As time went by, guests went from wearing linen clothes to black clothes. Now there are basically no more particular rules. At most, they would leave a piece of black cloth on their arms.
Su Yiling and Ji Weitang chose to leave the sackcloth tied on their arms in order to distinguish them so that people would know at a glance that, oh, they were not wearing black armbands but were wearing sackcloth, so they were the funeral home's farewell team.
Ten minutes later, Su Yun and the only four remaining employees in the funeral home arrived, carrying the box that Wu Jin and Wu Yu had seen before. They had seen what was taken out of it, but they didn't expect to see it again so soon.
After checking that they had brought all their belongings, the six people set off immediately. They took a modified medium-sized bus that had enough space for a body in the back. The cook was driving again this time, and when they returned to the city, it would be the fire-maker's turn to take over to avoid fatigue from long-term driving.
Everyone was very serious along the way and no one spoke. Even Su Yun put away her folding fan. She never took out her folding fan when it came to important matters.
When they were almost at the hospital, Wu's father sent another message, saying that he had just signed a critical illness notice and the doctor's advice was to try their best to save the patient, but the family could choose not to save him, so they would see if they could give the old man a last hurrah.
The so-called last breath is to let the old man come out and say his last words to his family. We cannot be 100% sure whether he can wake up, we can only try our best.
They encountered the lunch rush hour. Fortunately, the cook was very skilled and took a shortcut and rushed to the hospital before the old man came out of the operating room. Wu Jin and Wu Yu ran very fast in front, and Su Yun walked solemnly behind them.
The elevator couldn't accommodate so many people at once. Wu Jin and Wu Yu hesitated on the elevator button, thinking about how to let everyone in.
As a result, Su Yun waved his hand and said, "You go up first. It's not appropriate for us to be here now. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wu Jin nodded and closed the elevator door.
To the old man of the Wu family in the operating room, Su Yun and his group were the Black and White Impermanence who came to take souls away. They were dressed neatly in black clothes, with the same linen on their arms, and were carrying huge boxes in their hands. One could tell at a glance what they were doing.
The medical staff at the hospital were quite curious when they saw this. While waiting for the elevator, they were mumbling to each other at the nurses' station. One young doctor was quite curious: "What a thought! Is the funeral home at this level? The people who came before were so impatient. They had no respect for the deceased at all. It was disgusting to see them."
The young nurse nodded vigorously. "That's right. I even took them to carry the body and told them it was a car accident and they couldn't move it. But they still messed up the body. They didn't care at all and said the undertaker would take care of it later. How unlucky is the undertaker to have such a colleague."
"I seemed to have seen the eldest and second young masters of the Wu family just now. What do you think? Could they be the people they hired specially? They look very expensive and must be serving rich people. No wonder their attitude is so professional." Another young nurse had starry eyes.
At this time, a middle-aged doctor passed by and heard what they said. He gave each of them a slap on the face: "What nonsense are you talking about? You guys are too young. I haven't seen this funeral home for a long time. I didn't expect it to still be here."
The elevator reopened, and this time the people inside filed out. Su Yun led the others in. This time they got a good seat, and at least five people were crammed into the elevator. However, the others looked at the size of the cook and the fireman, and saw that they were carrying boxes and looked like gangsters, so they were unwilling to go in.
After everyone left, the middle-aged doctor at the nurse station continued, "These are people from the West City Funeral Home. They are very respectful to the deceased. There used to be two funeral homes in Bincheng. The one that comes more often now is responsible for the deceased in the east of Bincheng, while the West City Funeral Home is responsible for the deceased in the west, but they are occasionally invited by family members."
"Then why haven't we heard of it? Did it go bankrupt due to poor management?" the young doctor asked curiously.
"It seems so. It gradually disappeared. People nowadays prefer a fast-paced life. But look at the uniforms worn by the employees of Xicheng Funeral Home. They have to abide by various rules even for their clothes, let alone funerals. If the guests find it troublesome, they will not come to them, right? However, they have not appeared for so many years. I didn't expect that they are still there. It seems that they have not gone bankrupt." The middle-aged doctor said with emotion.
Doctors have kind hearts. Even if they fail to save the patient in the end, they still hope that those who are truly sending the patient on his final journey can treat the patient's body well.
The middle-aged doctor was still an intern at the time. He had seen the employees of the West City Funeral Home come to pick up people several times. They were very particular. If the patient was a female with a child, a beautiful female director would come to pick her up, followed by two strong men, a tall and thin man and a beautiful girl. If the patient was a male, a male director would come to pick him up, and the employees behind him would remain the same.
Many people have asked about who is the director. Some people, following the fixed thinking of men and women, always think that Su Yiling is the director and Ji Weitang is the deputy director or the proprietress, and they always call the wrong names. Su Yiling and Ji Weitang never tire of repeating that the funeral home was jointly funded by them to leave to their daughter, and each of them paid half of the money, so both of them are directors.
Employees can call the director "Madam" as a joke, but that doesn't mean others can do the same. Even though Ji Weitang is a woman, she is still one of the directors.
At that time when women's consciousness was not yet fully awakened, some people had already achieved it in their actions, which was probably respecting everyone, so they could respect the dead as usual for decades.
The middle-aged doctor was filled with emotion, but suddenly discovered a problem - so many years have passed, and the girl in the lead is obviously the daughter mentioned by Su Yiling and Ji Weitong back then, but why haven't the employees behind her aged?
Something seemed amiss, but the middle-aged doctor did not think much about it. He shook his head and thought that he must be too tired from working the shift and his eyes were blurry. From such a distance, maybe the other person was in good spirits and looked young.
On the other side, Su Yun and others took the elevator to the floor where the old man of the Wu family was undergoing surgery. This area was a VIP area, and no one would come here except the Su family and bodyguards.
The bodyguards saw Su Yun and the others and immediately came over to surround them nervously. One of them, a burly man who seemed to be the leader of the bodyguards, asked in a deep voice, "How many of you are there?"
"We are from the funeral home. Wu Jin should have told you about this." Su Yun led everyone out of the elevator and answered calmly.
"Funeral home?" The bodyguard leader looked at Su Yun and others strangely, unwilling to believe it in his heart, because they had seen the scene of Bincheng Funeral Home. The people who carried the corpses were all rough men, and they didn't even have the idea of putting the dead first. However, Su Yun brought two women with him.
Wu Yu saw Su Yun from a distance, ran over and said, "They are from the funeral home, Su Yun, come with me."
Since the second young master of the main family said so, the bodyguard had no reason to continue stopping them and let Su Yun and others pass.
The lights in the operating room are still on. They don’t know exactly how long they have to wait, but it will be tonight at the latest.
The long corridor was very quiet. If it weren't for their footsteps, it seemed as if one could hear their breathing. When they were almost outside the operating room, Wu Yu suddenly asked, "Wait, my brother and I didn't tell you which floor grandpa was on. How did you know?"
"I calculated the time and place, I hope you don't mind." Su Yun did not hide anything and told the truth.
When Wu Jin notified her, Su Yun figured it out. If it wasn't for today, she wouldn't have come here so grandly. Instead, she would have tried her best to reassure the Wu family. Now that she has figured it out, she must prepare everything.
Wu Yu paused after hearing this and opened his mouth: "Well... forget it, let's just leave it at that."
Then he silently took Su Yun to the waiting area, where Wu's father, mother, and Wu Jin were all sitting there, as well as Uncle Wu. He was not in good spirits and seemed to be forcing himself to stay there and wait for the result.
In fact, everyone knew the result, and even invited Su Yun and others, but they still hoped that a miracle would happen.
They didn't have the energy to greet Su Yun, and Su Yun didn't care. He just led the employees to the corner. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice these people in black in the dim corner.
Su Yun looked at the people of the Wu family sitting together waiting with numb faces. In fact, when Wu Yu opened his mouth just now, she knew what Wu Yu wanted to ask. He wanted to ask the specific time of the old man's death so that he could be mentally prepared. However, he did not ask in the end. Perhaps he also understood that it was not appropriate to ask such questions at this time.
Even though the doctor issued critical illness notices again and again, asking what time he would die outside the operating room was disrespectful to grandpa. Even though Wu Yu felt a little uncomfortable with grandpa because of Aunt Wu's incident, they had been friends for so many years that she didn't need to care about it at this time.
Su Yun had seen the same expressions on the faces of some of the deceased's relatives before. Only those relatives who showed such numb expressions truly had feelings for their loved ones.
Some people say that the harder the family members cry at the funeral of the deceased, it is often not because they have a good relationship with the deceased. Relatives are worried that if they are too sad, the deceased will have a hard time passing away or will not be able to react.
Su Yun accompanied Ji Weitong in many funerals for women and children. At those funerals, the only people who were truly sad for the women were their parents, lovers, and best friends. But unfortunately, among the hundreds of women who died, there might not be one lover.
When some elderly people died, the children were not sad at all. They screamed louder than the sound of suona. Some were not satisfied with the arrangements of the funeral home and even secretly played DJ music, thinking it was cool.
Even when Su Yun took over the funeral home and held his first funeral, the relatives only cared about the money and didn't care about the deceased's condition at all.
Now the expressions of the Wu family show that they are a family with affection. Although there is Aunt Wu between them, they are still a family.
While waiting, the bodyguard and another housekeeper brought lunch. Father and Mother Wu couldn't eat much, so Wu Jin and Wu Yu ate a little and went to persuade Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu, who had been treated by the old man for the longest time, finished his meal in silence. He needed to eat and sleep well so that he could better send the old man off, even though he couldn't eat much at this time.
Wu Jin took the housekeeper's insulated box and gave it to Su Yun: "Su Yun, let everyone eat something. We may have to wait until the afternoon."
Su Yun shook his head: "No, we try not to eat when we place orders. Don't worry, we are not hungry."
"Then... do you want to sit down and rest for a while?" Wu Jin asked worriedly. He had also discovered when he went to pick up Aunt Wu before that unless they were interrupted, they would not sit down to rest or eat. It seemed that they were trying their best to maintain the same state as the deceased.
"No, it's okay. Actually the waiting time is not that long." Sure enough, Su Yun also refused to sit down and rest.
In fact, this rule is just to keep the masters in good condition, because after eating and resting, they will easily feel sleepy, and they will not have enough strength at once, so they will easily drop the corpse. Only if they stay a little hungry and energetic and don't slack off, can they carry the corpse back in one breath - in ancient times, they also had to carry the corpse back in one breath. Except for the meal before putting the coffin on the shelf, the coffin cannot fall to the ground, so they naturally cannot eat or rest.
All the rules have been simplified a lot now. Su Yun doesn't feel it is tiring. Besides, the employees are not human beings. If she can insist on it herself, there is no need for her to do so.
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor pushed open the door of the operating room and came out, informing the Wu family with a tired face that they had tried their best. The old man should be able to wake up after the anesthesia wears off. There is no need to give him an IUC. He can just stay in the ward. If the family members have any questions, they can tell them right away.
The old man came out a little later, and lay in bed for about five hours before finally waking up. It was already completely dark at this time. The Wu family and Uncle Wu were guarding the bedside, while Su Yun and his men were standing outside.
The old man looked in good spirits when he woke up, and his eyes seemed to be as bright as before, but everyone knew that he didn't have much time left.
After looking around at everyone, the old man seemed a little confused: "Where's Nannan? Why didn't she go home?"
Because of the operation, the old man's memory was a little confused. He forgot that Aunt Wu had died before him. Even until the end, he refused to see Aunt Wu.
Father Wu wiped his tears and said softly, "Dad, my sister..." For a moment, he didn't know what reason he should find.
The old man didn't go to see him at the beginning. According to Aunt Wu's spirit, she would never forgive the old man. Now everything Wu's father says is wrong.
After a while, the light in the old man's eyes dimmed a little: "Oh, Nannan is gone, I remember, she probably... hated me a lot, right? Hated me for forcing her to get married, hated me for not saving her for so many years, but... what's the harm in bowing to her own father?"
The relationship between parents and children will probably always be like this. No one thinks they are wrong, it’s just that their perspectives and the interests they want are different.
In the old man's generation, women were supposed to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, and when they reached a certain age, they should get married and have children. Women were supposed to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. If they didn't do so, they would be criticized by others.
Times are changing. The old man and Aunt Wu are the collision of two eras. Aunt Wu was unlucky and lost miserably.
Wu Yu, who was standing beside the bed, wanted to speak. He was always straightforward, but was stopped by Wu Jin. Wu Jin shook his head slightly at him and told him to say less at this time. No matter what the old man said, he was a dying man. What was the point of winning the argument at this time?
So Wu Yu closed his mouth, lowered his head and said nothing.
The old man then turned his gaze to Wu's father: "Big brother and big brother's wife, you should... take good care of Wu Jin and Wu Yu in the future. They are still young and don't understand many things, but... don't be like me and force them not to go home."
"Well, I know Dad. They have their own ideas and have grown up. My younger sister also said that we should listen more to their own wishes. As long as they are not committing crimes, I will not stop them." Father Wu said with a sob.
"Okay... okay... and Old Wu, you've been with me for decades, and I didn't let you have a good rest after retirement. This time, you can take a long vacation..." The old man began to pause when he spoke, and it seemed that he was having a hard time speaking. It was not known whether he could not make a sound or his thoughts could not keep up.
The hospital had removed the machine long ago, and the Wu family couldn't tell where the old man was feeling unwell, or whether his heart was still beating, but they could see with the naked eye that the old man was gradually losing his vital signs.
Before he was completely unable to speak, the old man mentioned all the family matters, including Wu Jin and Wu Yu's work and life events. Ever since the incident with Aunt Wu, he hadn't been able to get close to his two grandsons, and because he was a serious person, the children were afraid of him and were even more unwilling to stay with him.
The fact that he can mention a few words now proves that he still cares about his children.
Perhaps because he had finished talking about something he cared about, the old man's voice gradually became lower, his eyes lost their luster and closed tightly, and when there was no sound at all, he also stopped breathing.
At 9:04 p.m., the old man of the Wu family passed away, and dull crying sounds were heard from the ward.
Inside the door is the old man's death, and outside the door is the ghost of Aunt Wu, who has been waiting for many years but still has not received an apology. She is wearing a ghost catcher's uniform, sitting quietly on a chair without saying a word.
