On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-third year of Jinghe, Cheng Kang left with his descendants.
This time, Cheng Shun and his family just sent the child to the village entrance and then returned.
After Cheng Kang and his family left, the Cheng family was no longer as lively as before.
"I'm not used to it!"
Cheng Shun stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.
"Uncle, you're not used to it, right? So, let's stay in the capital this time! Then we can be together every day!"
Cheng Minhong said.
"Yes, yes! Then uncle will stay in the capital. Minhong, you must do as you said and take uncle to drink with that old man who loves wine, to fight with that old man who likes to pick a fight, and to brag with that old man who likes to brag..."
Cheng Shun smiled.
"Of course! You're my uncle!"
Cheng Minhong raised her head and said proudly.
"Shunbo!"
At this time, a carriage arrived at the door of the Cheng family.
Cheng Shun had a smile on his face, but when he saw someone coming, he turned his head away.
"Let's go back!"
Cheng Shun pulled Cheng Minhong into the house.
"Who is it, uncle?"
Cheng Minhong looked at the visitor curiously.
"It's irrelevant. He's a bad guy who doesn't want his daughter. Come on, let's go in!"
Cheng Shun pulled the person in and turned around to close the door.
"Uncle Shun, I'm looking for Mingzhu. Is Mingzhu here?"
Mingliang hurried forward.
"Oh, I remember, you are Mingzhu's father!"
Cheng Minhong suddenly realized.
She had met Mingliang once.
"Mingzhu? What do you want with her? She's my child. Why should I let you see her casually?"
Cheng Shun said unhappily.
He hated such irresponsible parents the most.
A good daughter was just thrown into the village and she didn’t even come back to spend the New Year with her. Are these her biological parents?
That little bitch Mingzhu must have been picked up!
snort!
Lian Xiang is too embarrassed to go out and see people. Mingzhu probably learned her thick skin from Mingliang.
Cheng Shun complained in his heart.
"Uncle Shun, I know you're angry with me. I couldn't come back for the New Year. It's not that I didn't want to come back, but something really happened. Mingzhu's mother is gone!"
Mingliang said sadly.
Cheng Shun, who was about to burst into a curse, pursed his lips and frowned, "What did you say?"
"Mingzhu's mother is gone. She suddenly fell ill on the way. I consulted many doctors, but in the end..."
Mingliang dropped his hands, looking grief-stricken.
"What's going on?"
This time Cheng Shun didn't close the door. He asked a question and asked Cheng Minhong to call Mingzhu.
Cheng Minhong quickly ran to Mingzhu's room.
"Come in and tell me!"
Cheng Shun couldn't help but yell when he saw Mingliang looking dejected.
"Uncle Shun, I won't come in. It's unlucky for a widow like me during the first month of the year. I went to the government office to look for Mingzhu but she wasn't there, so I came here to look for her. I want her to help me with her mother's funeral and bury her as soon as possible!"
Ming Liang Dao.
"What's unlucky or not? According to you, Mingzhu is still a filial daughter. Isn't she still staying at my house?"
Cheng Shun said unhappily.
"Where's my mother? Where's my mother?"
At this time, Mingzhu ran out with her hair not combed. It was obvious that she had just been woken up.
She was on duty at the yamen last night and only came back this morning to rest. She had only just fallen asleep for a short while.
…
Lian Xiang died, and Ming Liang gave her a grand funeral.
Every household in Xinghua Village went to help, and then bought a piece of land from Zhang Lizheng, built a tomb, and erected a monument.
The funeral lasted for three days, and the burial was not held until the fourth day, the eleventh day of the first lunar month.
