Chapter 277 May we each find peace for the rest of our lives.
Fu Siyan's burial site was chosen by a feng shui master whom Qin Yancheng hired at great expense.
Because Fu Siyan had expressed his wish not to hold a funeral and to have his ashes scattered in Lijiang before his death.
Scattering the ashes in the Lijiang River was no longer an option, so Qin Yancheng naturally followed Fu Siyan's wishes.
The entire cost, from the cemetery to the funeral arrangements, is covered by a comprehensive package.
Qin Yancheng once called Shen Qingshu, expressing his desire to contribute money as a token of his brotherly affection.
After careful consideration, Shen Qingshu asked Qin Yancheng to contribute a small portion.
Just as Qiao Xingjia said, people are multifaceted. Besides being the father of two children, Fu Siyan also has friends, subordinates... These are all evidence that he has been in this world.
Shen Qingshu could not refuse these people's feelings for Fu Siyan on his own.
On the day of the funeral, it was drizzling.
The funeral was very simple.
There were not many people attending the funeral: Qin Yancheng, Shen Qingshu, Wen Jingxi, Shao Qing, Song Lanyin, Zhang Yun, and the directors of two welfare homes.
It was Shao Qing who informed them.
Those were welfare homes that Fu Siyan had anonymously funded before his death. After learning of his serious illness, Fu Siyan handed over his law firm and these two welfare homes to Shao Qing.
The directors of the two welfare homes brought small white flowers made by all the children themselves.
The auspicious time chosen by the master has arrived.
Shen Qingshu, dressed in a plain black dress, had two small white flowers pinned to her arm.
She took the place of her two children, carrying the suit that Fu Siyan had worn in front of him, and slowly approached the tomb.
Under the master's guidance, she placed the suit into the tomb...
When the tombstone was erected, it only bore the three lonely characters 'Fu Siyan'.
The children from the welfare home spread small white flowers all over the cemetery.
Qin Yancheng said, "Although Siyan was expelled from the family genealogy by Fu Baisheng, he used to be the most beloved grandson of Old Master Fu. The Fu surname did not continue from Fu Baisheng, but from Old Master Fu."
Shao Qing: "The elders of the Fu family somehow found out about this and have been calling me a lot these past few days. The gist of their words is that they want Young Master Fu to be buried in the Fu family cemetery."
"Don't even think about it!" Qin Yancheng sneered. "Back when they teamed up with Fu Baisheng to target Si Yan, they practically wanted to stab Si Yan in the face!"
Shao Qing: "That's what I thought too, so I didn't reveal any information about Fu Shao's grave to them."
Qin Yancheng grew angrier the more he thought about it. "I don't think they are truly repentant now. It's just that the Fu family has gone bankrupt, and some of the branch families and subsidiaries of the Fu family still need to survive. But the Fu family's reputation has been ruined because of Fu Baisheng. They want to bury Fu Siyan in the Fu family cemetery. I'm afraid they are just trying to use the public welfare and charity that Siyan did to get a good reputation for the Fu family!"
“Exactly, there’s nothing left to cherish about this kind of family!” Song Lanyin sniffed. “Let it be. Fu Siyan never truly lived for himself in his life. Let him be at peace in this world after he’s gone.”
Shen Qingshu listened to their conversation but said nothing.
She stared at the black and white photo of the man on the tombstone.
That was a photocopy of his ID photo; his brow was slightly furrowed, and he didn't smile.
Shen Qingshu suddenly realized that this man seemed to have never laughed from the heart...
His life was a bit too tiring.
That's good, then the suffering and pain of this world are no longer his concern.
...
The burial ceremony has ended.
Shao Qing saw off the two deans.
It was still raining when a group of people dressed in black and carrying black umbrellas walked down the mountain.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they parted ways and went their separate ways home.
Before leaving, Song Lanyin called out to Shen Qingshu.
"I misspoke that day, and I formally apologize to you." Song Lanyin looked at Shen Qingshu with sincere eyes.
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly, "I don't blame you. From your perspective, you did nothing wrong."
Song Lanyin pursed her lips and looked at her.
A moment later, she suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Shen Qingshu.
Calm and slightly stunned.
Song Lanyin whispered in her ear, "I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself and the two children. I'll come back to visit Fu Siyan again next year on Qingming Festival."
Shen Qingshu nodded, "We'll meet again if fate allows."
Song Lanyin let go of her, turned to look at Wen Jingxi in the driver's seat of the car, and waved to Wen Jingxi cheerfully, "Goodbye, Teacher Wen!"
Wen Jingxi looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Take care."
Song Lanyin smiled and turned to walk towards her car.
Shen Qingshu withdrew her gaze, opened the car door, and got into the car.
The rain is still falling. I hope that after today's farewell, we can both live well for the rest of our lives.
…
Summer goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and winter comes.
The northern part of the city welcomed its first snowfall of the year.
Along with this snow came the annual Spring Festival travel rush.
The weather forecast says that the snowfall in the northern part of the city this year is comparable to that of four years ago.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, during the peak of the Spring Festival travel rush, the train stations and airports in the northern part of the city were packed with people.
The city remains bustling.
Shen Qingshu drove to the airport early in the morning to pick up the person.
Tan Yiyi and Wen Jingxi both went home to reunite with their families.
Wen Jingxi left just two days ago. His grandfather and parents felt he was getting on in years and wanted to arrange for him to meet ten or eight girls during the New Year. Of course, Wen Jingxi himself was unaware of this.
Before leaving, Wen Jingxi spent a long time cuddling with the two little ones, and even tried to coax them back to Xingcheng with a big red envelope.
But with Shen Qingshu here, no matter how much the two little ones like Wen Jingxi, they can't bear to leave Shen Qingshu and go back to Xingcheng with Wen Jingxi.
Shen Qingshu went to the airport to pick up Bai Jianwen and Jiang Wenjin.
For the past few years, the couple has been spending Chinese New Year with Shen Qingshu.
Last week, Jiang Yuelan, Aunt Qin, and Jin Huaimin also came to Beicheng.
Jin Huaimin and Jiang Yuelan got together. This time, Jiang Yuelan returned to Beicheng for two reasons: first, to spend the New Year with Shen Qingshu, and second, to get a marriage certificate with Jin Huaimin.
Jiang Yuelan's documents are all with Shen Qingshu. If she wants to get married, she needs Shen Qingshu's consent.
Shen Qingshu had no objection to the marriage; it was a good thing that her mother had found a good man.
But she still had to keep an eye on things for her mother.
Jin Huaimin was a refined and gentle man who was very considerate and kind to Jiang Yuelan. After staying in Yungui for a week, Yun's wife Zhang Yun and others spoke highly of Jin Huaimin.
Privately, Shen Qingshu also consulted Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin said that Jin Huaimin took care of Jiang Yuelan almost meticulously. Although Jiang Yuelan can now live a normal life, she doesn't remember much about the past. She only remembers that she has a daughter named Ashu.
Shen Qingshu felt that this was a good thing; those unpleasant memories were simply forgotten as if they had never happened.
Now that Jiang Yuelan has been reborn and has a loving partner who takes meticulous care of her, Shen Qingshu is naturally happy for her mother.
She found a free afternoon and accompanied Jiang Yuelan and Jin Huaimin to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.
With her daughter as a witness, Jiang Yuelan became Jin Huaimin's wife.
Since they were newlyweds, Shen Qingshu knew that they would feel uncomfortable if they continued to live in Yun Gui, so she had someone clean up the house in Dolphin Bay and let Jiang Yuelan and Jin Huaimin move in.
Aunt Qin continued to go and take care of their daily lives.
