Xia Jianguo walked a few steps to the coffin and slowly knelt down.
Zhao Meilan felt sorry for Xia Jianguo, "Boss, you didn't get enough rest last night. Go back and let..."
Zhao Meilan looked towards the second house. Tian Guihua, Xia Ziheng and Xia Zichen were standing not far away, while Xia Zihao and her own Xia Ziqian, the two younger ones, were squatting in the corner.
Both adults and children are listless.
"Guihua, the second brother is not feeling well. Let Ziheng and Zichen come over and kneel for a while. Your eldest brother can't bear it anymore and needs to rest." Zhao Meilan said.
Tian Guihua naturally didn't want her son to kneel, but as her grandsons, it was really unacceptable for Xia Ziheng and Xia Zichen not to go.
Besides, her son Xia Zhiqiang is unable to get up now, so she can't let the eldest wife take care of everything.
If Xia Jianguo falls down from exhaustion, only the women and children will be left at home, which will make things even more difficult.
Tian Guihua quickly figured it out. She reached out and patted Xia Ziheng on the shoulder, "Ziheng, you're the older brother, you go first. Zichen will come over and take your place later."
"Okay." Xia Ziheng responded.
He exchanged glances with Xia Zichen.
Xia Ziheng walked over and said, "Uncle, go back to your room and rest for a while. Zichen and I will take turns."
Xia Jianguo didn't force himself and stood up. "Okay, Ziheng and Zichen, thank you both for your hard work. I didn't get much sleep at the Public Security Bureau last night. I'm going to take a nap and come over to take your place when I wake up."
"Uncle, you should rest for a while. We are both young." Xia Ziheng said.
Everyone can say polite words. Xia Ziheng knew in his heart that Xia Jianguo could not stay in the house for long. After all, he was the only man in the family who could marry.
He and Xia Zichen are both children.
Xia Jianguo patted Xia Ziheng on the shoulder, said nothing more, turned around and went back to the house to lie down.
Tian Guihua realized it later. She walked over to Zhao Meilan and asked, "Sister-in-law, should we let Zixuan and Zirui come back?"
Zhao Meilan's head buzzed with excitement, yes!
She even forgot about her eldest son and second son!
If their grandparents passed away and neither of them came back, they would be criticized for the rest of their lives.
"You're right. I'll ask someone to send a message to the second son's home and the eldest son's school, asking them to come back immediately. At the very least, they have to make it in time for their grandparents' burial." Zhao Meilan said as she walked out.
Tian Guihua waited until Zhao Meilan walked away before she chuckled. She was indeed a fool. Let's see how she can control her in the future.
Zhao Meilan went all the way to the brigade headquarters. Now no one at home could help her, so she had to ask the brigade leader for help.
Wang Yousheng had just finished his work when he saw Zhao Meilan striding over. As soon as she entered the room, Zhao Meilan started crying...
Wang Yousheng felt a sharp pain in his head. "What's going on? We're from the same family. If there's anything wrong, why can't we just talk it out? Why are you crying?"
Wang Yousheng walked out of the room in a few steps. He couldn't stay in the room with Zhao Meilan alone. What if someone saw them? Zhao Meilan was crying like this, and someone who didn't know would think he had hurt Zhao Meilan.
Wang Yousheng looked around and found that there was really no one around him, which made him feel very awkward.
When Zhao Meilan saw Wang Yousheng running away, she forgot to cry and chased after him in a few steps.
"Captain, I need your help with something."
"Okay, what's the matter?" Wang Yousheng responded immediately. He didn't want to hear Zhao Meilan crying anymore.
If a pretty girl cried, it would be pleasing to the eye, but if an ugly middle-aged woman cried, Wang Yousheng felt that he would have nightmares when he returned home.
Seeing that Wang Yousheng agreed so readily, Zhao Meilan immediately felt that she was still very attractive.
"Captain, my parents-in-law are all gone, and Zixuan and Zirui don't even know about it. Look at how sick and weak my family is now. Do you think you can..."
"Okay, no problem. I'll send someone to notify them both." Without waiting for Zhao Meilan to finish, Wang Yousheng immediately responded.
Zhao Meilan was immediately delighted, "Captain, thank you."
"You should go quickly. The old man and the old woman will be buried in a couple of days. It would be unreasonable if the eldest and second grandsons don't come back."
"Okay, I'll send someone to call them right away." Wang Yousheng waved his hand hurriedly, signaling Zhao Meilan to leave quickly.
Zhao Meilan then left the brigade headquarters, looking back every few steps. Wang Yousheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her walking away.
They all forgot about Xia Zixuan and Xia Zirui.
Wang Yousheng immediately walked into the field and called the militia captain to find two people, one to go to Wangjia Village to find Xia Zirui, and the other to go to the high school to find Xia Zixuan.
Wangjia Village.
Xia Zirui and Wang Cui were working in the fields when they saw a young man on a bicycle in the distance, riding and shouting, "Xia Zirui, Xia Zirui."
Xia Zirui heard the sound and walked to the end of the field in a few steps.
"Brother Wang, you're looking for me." Xia Zirui looked at the man who came to deliver the letter with some confusion. The man's name was Wang Dapeng.
"Zi Rui, your grandparents are gone. Your mother asked us to notify you to go home."
"What! My grandparents are gone!" Xia Zirui looked at Wang Dapeng in surprise.
Wang Dapeng nodded.
"Brother Wang, please briefly explain the situation to me so I can have a clearer understanding. This way, I won't say anything inappropriate when I go back and upset everyone."
Wang Dapeng saw that what he said made sense, and after hesitating for a moment, he briefly told Xia Zirui what had happened.
Xia Zirui widened his eyes in astonishment. How could his grandmother report his third uncle!
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
He had been there in person with Wang Po, and he knew very well how evil the courtyard was.
Even if his third uncle really had some contraband, they would not be able to find it because he was protected by ghosts and gods.
Xia Zirui sighed. Besides, how could his grandfather hang himself for his grandmother?
Xia Zirui has lived at home for so many years, and he knows Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia too well. They are both very selfish and only care about themselves.
Even though his grandfather doesn't talk much, he actually only orders his grandmother around when something happens. He doesn't take his grandmother seriously at all, so how could he commit suicide for her?
Xia Zirui couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Zi Rui, I've brought you the news, and I'll be back soon."
"Okay, Brother Wang, thank you."
"You're welcome." Wang Dapeng said and turned away.
Wang Cui waited until the people who came had left before she walked over to Xia Zirui, "What's wrong? Zirui."
"My grandparents are gone. My mother sent a message asking me to go home."
"Grandpa and grandma are gone?" Wang Cui was a little surprised. She had seen the old man and the old lady of the Xia family. They seemed to be in good health. She thought they could live for another 10 to 20 years.
"How could it suddenly disappear?"
Xia Zirui sighed lightly and simply told Wang Cui what Wang Dapeng had told him.
Wang Cui's eyes widened slightly. This was too... She moved her lips a few times and finally said, "I'll go back with you."
