Chapter 656: Why is there only one mound at the ancestral grave?
Wu Yunshuang found the egg yolk pastry that originally made her drool tasteless as if it were chewing wax.
A look of despair on his face.
Well, she dug the hole herself, so she has to fill it herself!
"Come on, drink some water."
Xia Siya was particularly attentive and filled Wu Yunshuang's water cup.
Wu Yunshuang, "..."
Are they fattening them up before slaughtering them?
Wu Yunshuang picked up the water glass and took a sip with difficulty.
Then, looking at Tang Bao, she asked, "Aunt, can I ask how old you are this year?"
"Sister Fuya is eleven this year." Xia Siya quickly answered, "I'm fourteen."
"One is eleven, the other is fourteen... haha."
"What are you talking about? Drink some water!" Xia Siya said.
Wu Yunshuang, "...Don't you think you're too smart? At such a young age, you've already thought about so much and calculated so much..."
Xia Siya said with a puzzled look on her face: "What are you talking about? We are smart to begin with!"
Wu Yunshuang: “…”
A choke.
Then, he lowered his head and ate in silence.
"Yes, eat more." Xia Siya encouraged actively.
Wu Yunshuang: “…”
I tasted something, but now it's tasteless.
Tang Bao looked at Wu Yunshuang's messy hair and asked nonchalantly, "Sixth Sister-in-law is a woman. It's inconvenient for her to walk outside. Why do you dress like a girl?"
"Eh? Cough cough cough..."
Wu Yunshuang suddenly choked on the cake in her mouth and started coughing violently.
"Hey! Eat slowly, no one's trying to snatch it from you." Xia Siya patted Wu Yunshuang's back enthusiastically. "I know you want to eat more so that you can have enough strength to hit your head against the wall and die, but you can't choke to death, right?"
Wu Yunshuang: “…”
I covered my heart and calmed myself down.
Then, she pointed at Xia Siya and Tang Bao and said through gritted teeth, "This is the first time in my life that I've been humiliated!"
Xia Siya looked at Wu Yunshuang in shock.
"You, you look like Wang, the butcher who kills pigs in town. You are an unreasonable fat woman with a bandit-like air, not a decent woman..." Xia Siya said.
Wu Yunshuang, "..."
A meme.
"Are you a liar?" Xia Siya asked suspiciously, "How could Sixth Brother possibly be interested in someone like you?"
"Then what kind of thing will he like?" Wu Yunshuang raised her chin and said unconvincedly.
"Anyway, that's not you!" Xia Siya said without giving in. "Tell me! Why aren't you dressed like a woman? Why are you dressed like a girl? Are you here on purpose to get free food and drinks?"
Wu Yunshuang: "I'm not trying to cheat you out of food and drinks, I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? If you're not here to get free food and drinks, why are you dressed like this?" Xia Siya said aggressively.
Wu Yunshuang: "I..."
"Sixth sister-in-law definitely doesn't know how to comb her hair into a bun." Tang Bao said understandingly.
"Yes, yes! I don't know how to do that kind of bun. I can only braid two pigtails like this." Wu Yunshuang nodded repeatedly.
Xia Siya snorted, looking disbelieving.
Wu Yunshuang showed a proud expression on her face and said, "Back when we were at the border, it was my husband who tied my hair, drew my eyebrows, and bought me rouge and powder... What, you don't believe it?"
Xia Siya looked at Wu Yunshuang with a strange expression.
"Are you dreaming? Or perhaps you're imagining this..." Xia Siya said doubtfully, "Sixth Brother's hands can draw eyebrows? Can they tie hair?"
Xia Siya shook her head and said, "I can't draw you two big branches or comb your hair into a big chicken coop!"
Wu Yunshuang: “…”
Is it so difficult to show off?
"Let me tell you, don't brag to us! Sixth brother's hands are definitely not capable of doing such delicate work!" Xia Siya said affirmatively.
Wu Yunshuang, "...How do you know you can't do it?"
Lack of confidence.
"I've known Sixth Brother for so many years, how could I not understand his personality?"
"You know his personality well, but that was before he even got married!" Wu Yunshuang said confidently, "A man is different once he gets married! How could a little girl like you understand the joys of the boudoir and the pleasures of painting eyebrows?"
Xia Siya: “…”
Defeated.
"Sixth brother's wife, the mourning clothes are here."
Mrs. Su's voice came from outside the carriage.
Then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Mrs. Su handed in the hemp rope for the mourning clothes.
"Sixth sister-in-law, please change in the carriage."
Wu Yunshuang took the mourning rope and nodded.
Tang Bao and Xia Siya helped Wu Yunshuang put on mourning clothes and tie the hemp rope.
Xia Siya said: "Remember, don't forget to hit it hard when the time comes!"
Wu Yunshuang, "..."
He closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"Don't worry! I won't let my man be buried with a stigma!" Wu Yunshuang gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely clear his name, clear it completely!"
After saying this, he got off the carriage with an expression as if he was ready to sacrifice himself.
Xia Siya pulled Tang Bao's hand.
"Sister Fuya, let's go down too. Let's keep an eye on her." Xia Siya said, "I think there's something wrong with this person. When we get to the cemetery, if she doesn't hit the body, we'll force her to do it! We can't let Sixth Brother carry a bad reputation with him and be talked about for the rest of his life."
Tang Bao nodded and got off the carriage with Xia Siya.
Wu Yunshuang was brought to the front, dressed in mourning, holding a porcelain jar in her hand, and walking in front of the coffin.
Da Pan and Er Pan, one on each side, held the fourth child who was holding a white banner.
Following behind were Chengyao and the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth... all the way to Little Twelve.
Although the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth children were only three and a half years old, they were dressed in mourning clothes and hats, and followed their brothers with unsteady steps.
Daliushu Village is next to Fenghuang Mountain, on a high slope some distance away from the village. A large area is fenced off and used as the cemetery for the entire village.
Of course, each surname has its own small area.
The Su family's cemetery is on the far left.
This was Tang Bao's first time here, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw the lonely grave mound.
My father said that the Su family has never had a daughter in several generations, and the fortune teller said that the Su family has more men than women...
Why is there only one grave mound?
Well, now there's one more grave to target.
The drummers and musicians circled the grave, playing funeral music.
A monk in monk's robes walked around the grave pit, beating a wooden fish.
The village chief called on dozens of strong young men to prepare to put the coffin into the grave...
Xia Siya tugged at Tang Bao's arm and said anxiously, "That woman, why isn't she crying and wiping her tears? Why isn't she trying to commit suicide? Why isn't she trying to clear Sixth Brother's name?"
"Don't worry, since Sixth Sister-in-law said it, she will definitely do it." Tang Bao said calmly.
Xia Siya: "...No! I have to go and remind her."
After saying that, he took advantage of the chaos to walk behind Wu Yunshuang and tugged at her sleeve.
Wu Yunshuang turned around and glanced at Xia Siya.
Xia Siya looked at Wu Yunshuang, and then used her eyes to signal her to look at the big black coffin.
