The next day, with the help of the village head and the brigade leader, the Su family began to arrange the funeral for Old Man Su and Old Woman Su. As for Su Wenli, she was put into a simple long box made of plywood the night before, carried up the mountain, and buried.
Today is the funeral for Old Man Su and Old Woman Su. The remaining four members of the Su family need to wear mourning clothes, so Su Wenli could only be carried up the mountain and buried last night.
At noon, Mr. Su, along with Mrs. Su and Su Xingran, arrived at the old Su family home. The three of them walked to the makeshift mourning hall, in front of which were two coffins.
Those who came to help saw that Su Guomin and his family of three had arrived. They gathered together and whispered among themselves. The villagers had only learned the previous night that Su Wenli had tried to push Su Xingran off the cliff.
As it turned out, Su Xingran managed to dodge, but Su Wenli fell off the cliff herself. Su Guomin and his wife, the village chief, and the brigade leader witnessed it all. Since Su Guomin's family didn't come to keep vigil last night, everyone assumed he had completely abandoned the situation.
Unexpectedly, he came today with his wife and daughter. The village chief said that Su Guomin gave 300 yuan for the funeral. The coffin was already stored at home, so 300 yuan was more than enough to cover the expenses.
Ignoring the stares and comments from others, the three members of the Su family took two sticks of incense, lit them, stood in front of the coffin, bowed three times, and put the incense into the incense burner.
Su Xingran and her mother did the same as her father. Su Xingran looked at the coffin placed in front of her. From now on, these people would no longer be part of her life. The revenge of her past life had been taken, and the remaining four members of the Su family wouldn't have an easy time either.
After Su Xingran and her mother finished offering incense, Su's father nodded to the village chief and the brigade leader. He then led Su Xingran and her mother away from the old Su family home without saying a word or greeting the old Su family. It was as if fellow villagers had come to offer incense to the deceased.
After leaving the Su family home, Su Xingran said to her parents, "Father, Mother, you go home first. I'm going to see my master."
Mr. and Mrs. Su nodded. "Okay, go ahead, but don't wander around. Come home before dark. Your father and I will go home first."
Mother Su still harbored some reservations; three members of the Su family had died in one day. All three had been at odds with the family. If Ranran could have a second chance, who knew what kind of extraordinary encounters these three might have?
For example, she might return as a vengeful ghost to haunt Ranran and harm her. The thought filled Su's mother with unease. Her Ranran had suffered her whole life; from now on, she could finally live a peaceful life. Su's mother didn't want anything to happen to her daughter.
Su Xingran had no idea what her own mother was thinking or what she was worried about. Even if she did know, Su Xingran would still believe that heaven is fair and will not give evildoers a chance to start over.
Su Xingran was walking down the street when suddenly someone blocked her way. Su Xingran looked at the person blocking her path and frowned slightly.
Su Xingran recognized this person; it was Zhang Weibing. From the moment the Zhang family came to propose marriage in this life until just now, Su Xingran had never seen Zhang Weibing.
The Zhang Weibing of today is vastly different from the Zhang Weibing of his past life. In his past life, the Zhang Weibing always presented himself as a refined and cultured gentleman. He liked to wear white shirts, black trousers, and leather shoes, and his hair was styled with hair oil until it was so shiny that even ants couldn't get on it.
But the Zhang Weibing in front of me looked disheveled. His long, messy hair looked like it hadn't been washed in a long time, and his clothes and pants were tattered and dirty. His cloth shoes were also worn out and had several holes in them.
Su Xingran noticed that Zhang Weibing was limping on his right leg when he walked over. She wondered why this person, with whom she had no connection, was stopping her.
