Chapter 206 Selfless Support
At this point, Shu Changle's eyes were already filled with tears, and he could no longer control his emotions.
At noon that day, at the banquet, Mrs. Xie officially appeared.
At this time, most of her relatives and friends have already learned that the old lady may only have a few days left.
However, in order to make her feel happy and blessed in her last moments, everyone had agreed to make sure she spent this time happily, so everyone was working hard to create a positive atmosphere.
Although many people knew that Mrs. Xie was in poor health, few were able to visit her in person to express their concern.
So when she showed up, everyone simply came forward and said a few words of greeting.
Despite this, the overall scene was still filled with joy and enthusiasm, and everyone tried their best not to touch on that sad topic.
In order to make the party more perfect, the family specially ordered a whole animal from the market to prepare lunch dishes, and invited professional chefs to cook on the spot to ensure that every guest can enjoy delicious dishes that are colorful, fragrant and tasty.
At the same time, choosing to hold the dinner during this time period also fully takes into account that the guests have enough time to travel between the two places.
As the afternoon sun gradually moved westward, the guests attending the banquet said goodbye and left one after another.
In the end, only the Xie family members were left sitting together.
At this time, Xie Yunfeng called a doctor, but the doctor did not prescribe any medicine. He only told them to keep the old lady in a good mood and let her do things that interest her.
Zhao Chunhua sat outside the door holding her son Xiao Shitou, with a look of confusion in her eyes.
My grandmother fell ill suddenly in the same way many years ago.
Normally, you look very healthy and as energetic as a young person, but once you become sick, there is no chance of recovery.
Since knowing that grandma's condition was not optimistic, Zhao Chunhua decided to notify Chen Mai and Shu Yixian in advance to go home first, and ask them to bring Shu Ziying over to help take care of Xiao Shitou.
She also asked them to pack her a set of simple clothes because she planned to stay here for a few more days.
This is not just for convenience, but also because of a slight sense of homesickness in her heart. Zhao Chunhua wants to calm down in this familiar place.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chunhua's mother died that night.
This news was like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering all her plans and fantasies and awakening her from her peaceful state of mind.
Zhao Chunhua put on her clothes and ran quickly, and only started crying when her mother held her hand. She was really scared, afraid that she would miss the farewell again.
The mixed feelings of despair and helplessness made her whole body tremble, and tears flowed out of her eyes involuntarily, as if to wash away the fear and regret in her heart.
Fortunately, this time she saw him for the last time.
"Mom, you have to be well. You...will always be our family."
She tried hard to keep her voice steady, but her tone was inevitably choked with sobs and sadness. This was her attempt to convey the final warmth and promise to her mother.
Shu Changle stepped forward and sniffed her breath. After a few breaths, she shook her head, indicating that she could no longer feel breathing.
This action, like an announcement of an unchangeable fact, made everyone feel a chill.
Suddenly, there were people kneeling on the floor in the room.
Servants, relatives, and even some kind neighbors who came to pay their respects, all put aside all differences in status and position at this moment, and faced the deceased with the same grief.
The funeral arrangements after Xie's mother passed away were also well organized.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to local customs. Although they were filled with pain in their hearts, they still tried to remain calm, because this was the greatest respect for their deceased relatives.
During the final burial, Zhao Chunhua placed her mother's favorite silver hairpin into the coffin.
She gently stroked the hairpin, as if she could still feel her mother's warmth and tenderness, and prayed silently in her heart that the hairpin could bring some comfort to her mother.
Zhao Chunhua is not Xie's mother's biological daughter, but she occupied this body, resulting in the original owner not even having a tombstone.
Such a background makes her cherish the family affection she has now even more. Although there is no blood connection, this feeling has long surpassed all flesh and blood ties.
I had no choice but to put some of my favorite things in it, maybe the mother and daughter can be reunited in the underworld?
With a glimmer of hope, Zhao Chunhua hopes to use this method to continue their emotional bond and let her mother know that even in another world, there are still people who care about her and miss her.
After the funeral, Xie Yunfeng asked Shu Yanyou and Shu Yixian to visit him every five days and give him some guidance.
He has a deep sense of responsibility towards his two younger brothers and hopes to pass on his experience and knowledge to them to help them grow into better people.
After all, Xie Yunfeng had successfully passed the imperial examination and had some experience and insights to share with the two brothers.
Behind this success is not only the result of personal efforts, but more importantly the selfless support and trust among family members.
Mother Xie told him a lot before she died, and he also understood that mother Xie was very worried about Zhao Chunhua.
The mother's concern for her daughter made him feel the preciousness of love that transcends blood ties, and therefore made him more determined to do what he should do.
Although Xie Yunfeng will try his best to protect her, he is older than Zhao Chunhua after all, and there will always be a day when he will be gone. What should he do then?
This was a heavy and practical question that lingered in his mind.
So he needs to be prepared now. Even if the two brothers of the Shu family will achieve something in the future, he cannot let them abandon Zhao Chunhua.
Only by ensuring Zhao Chunhua's safety and happiness can he truly put down the heavy stone in his heart.
Especially Shu Yanyou.
For this brother, it is not only driven by a sense of responsibility, but more importantly, he has a special feeling for his younger sister. In the days to come, this care and protection will become more important.
He inherited everything that the eldest son deserved, including the family's property, responsibilities and glory.
Therefore, taking care of Zhao Chunhua became his unshirkable task.
Zhao Chunhua moved out of the Shu family. No matter what the specific reason behind it, Xie Yunfeng firmly believed that she had to leave because she was treated unfairly in some way.
If she could feel happy and satisfied at home, why would she go through so much trouble to live alone outside?
In view of this situation, Xie Yunfeng did not force Zhao Chunhua to return immediately. He could only try his best to fulfill his duties as an uncle and teach his nephew well.
From a long-term perspective, in order to maintain the name and reputation of the entire family, even someone as high and mighty as Shu Yanyou could not turn a blind eye to this and leave it alone.
As time went by, Zhao Chunhua's life gradually returned to normal. Although it was not unchanged, it was a new state.
