Chapter 457 You Just Know How to Eat
Zhang Zhiwei always felt that his mother could live for another few decades, and even the old lady herself thought so.
So the Zhang family did not prepare the coffin in advance.
But in the current situation, it is not easy to get a coffin.
Is it possible that we can only wrap it in a straw mat and bury it in the mountains?
Although the weather is cold now, it is not the coldest time of the year after all. The body will probably have a smell if left for one day. If it is left for two days, it will no longer be smellable. We have to find a way to deal with it quickly.
Zhang Zhiwei squatted in the corner and scratched his hair in annoyance.
How did he die?! I was telling myself yesterday that I had found a way to live a good life and I just needed to wait for a day or two.
But... "Zhiwei! I know you are sad, but now is not the time to be sad. Let's discuss what to do about your mother's funeral!"
"Yes! Zhiwei, the dead cannot be resurrected. The most important thing now is to quickly bury your mother."
The people who were talking were all relatives of the Zhang family, who came over specifically to help with the work.
But these days, life is not easy for every household. If a family does one day less of work, they will have one day less of food.
Zhang Zhiwei didn't dare to delay others from making money and food, so he took a deep breath and stood up from the ground.
"I just thought about it. Everyone knows about the current situation. We can't have a grand ceremony. I'll buy the coffin if I can. If I can't, I really can't do anything! It's my incompetence that I can't give my mother a decent funeral."
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are heartbroken.
As Zhang Zhiwei spoke, he began to cry.
When everyone saw him crying, they knew he was very sad and rushed to comfort him.
"This isn't your fault. We all know the situation, and your mother knows it too. She won't blame you. In that case, I'll go out and ask for help. If that doesn't work, today is a good day, so let's get going soon!"
I'll deal with things today so I can continue working tomorrow.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded, with a look of gratitude on his face, "Thank you, uncle."
The person Zhang Zhiwei calls "uncle" leaves quickly and comes back quickly.
The answer was naturally as everyone expected: no.
There was no other choice but to borrow a bus, wrap the old lady in a straw mat, and drive her out of the county town. They then spent money to find a decent place to bury her.
By the time everyone returned home, it was almost dark.
After a busy day, Zhang Zhiwei was tired and hungry. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "Mom, is the meal ready--"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhiwei remembered that he had just buried his mother in a field outside the city.
Zhang Zhiwei sighed and walked into the house.
Sitting in the empty room with no sign of life, Zhang Zhiwei felt sad.
Soon, Zhang Zhiwei remembered something.
"Wang Aijuan! Wang Aijuan! You stinky bitch, where the hell have you been?!"
Before he finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps approached, "I thought you hadn't eaten all day, so I made you some food!"
Wang Aijuan stood at the door of the room, with her head lowered and her voice soft, looking extremely frightened.
"Eat, eat, eat! All you think about is eating! My mom is gone, and all you think about is eating!"
