Chapter 538: Doing Ideological Work
My uncle gave me a grateful smile. I could imagine how intense his psychological struggle was. He must have been under tremendous psychological pressure for sending his nephew to jail with his own hands.
Seeing that my dad was still distracted, I felt something in my heart and pulled his arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, if your daughter encountered something like this and got stabbed in the back, would you feel sorry for her?"
My father was startled, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he suddenly said seriously, "I feel bad, of course I feel bad. If anything happens to you, I'll be ready to kill you.
Bah bah bah, you'll be fine."
I don’t know if he really thinks so, but at least until now he has never mentioned that he wants me to donate a kidney.
Then I thought of another thing. "Uncle, if my cousin signs the letter of apology and grandma is released, and the yard at home is compensated to my cousin, where will grandma live?"
For the sake of Wensong and Wenbai's future, I would tolerate letting grandma out, but I don't want her to enjoy her old age with a loving mother and filial children after she is released.
My mother blurted out, "Isn't the old house in the countryside still there? Your grandma can live there."
I smiled somewhat sarcastically, "Don't you know grandma's temper? Will she live quietly in the countryside alone? What if she makes a fuss and asks to live with us?"
Without even thinking, my dad said with a look of horror, "How can that be? Your grandma and your mom don't get along. If they move in with us, they'll fight every day. It'll be a mess at home. We won't be able to live like this!"
You only stay at home a few times a year, but I stay at home often.
No, absolutely not! "
My mother gave him an approving look.
This attitude is worthy of praise. Although my father is easily influenced, he is still quite clear-headed when it comes to key issues.
I looked at my uncle again, and the word "rejection" was almost written on his face. "Brother, it's not that I'm unfilial, it's just that apart from my eldest sister-in-law, which woman can stand our mother's temper? My wife definitely can't.
The last time he came to my house, he stayed for only a week and almost broke our family apart.
Let’s find a way to let the old lady live back in the old house.”
My father patted my uncle's shoulder in agreement and said, "Yes, you go and find a way to convince our mother."
"Why should I be the one to convince him? You're the older brother."
"You are engaged in ideological work, so of course you are better at this." My father said with confidence.
Uncle: “…”
This year, without grandma leading the tomb sweeping, the whole process was simplified a lot. Everyone just went back after burning paper money.
Only Wen Bo finally came out to let off some steam. He asked somewhat unwillingly, "Is this the end? Where are the firecrackers? Where are the fireworks? Is there really no other graves in our family that need sweeping? Where are all our ancestors buried?"
Dad, grandma is not here, you and uncle are too perfunctory. "
His tone was quite dissatisfied, and his uncle slapped him on the head, and he finally shut up.
In previous years, my grandmother would take the lead in visiting the graves, and there were a lot of things to prepare, such as chickens, ducks, fruits, firecrackers, and even male paper figures. When I was a child, I asked my grandmother why other people bury boys and girls, but our family only has boys.
I still remember my grandmother saying, "He's an old man, why would he need a virgin to serve him? If she seduces him and makes him lose his mind, by the time I come back a few decades later, he might already have a horde of children, and there would be no place for me."
At the time, I thought my grandmother was very thoughtful and her concerns were justified, so I sincerely suggested that she not wait so long before going down...
Looking back now, there was a reason why my grandmother didn't like me when I was a child.
Just as I was lost in thought, I received a video call request on WeChat. It was from my cousin. My dad also saw it and said jokingly, "Your sister is planning to visit the grave online. It's a good opportunity to tell her about your uncle's concerns."
It's not appropriate for my uncle, as an elder, to ask her for help, but you, as her younger sister, are just the right person."
