In the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Lin family was not a wealthy family. They were just a relatively wealthy family.
Su Ruchu's grandmother had five children, two sons and three daughters. Su Ruchu's mother, Lin Wanxiu, was the fourth child. Su Ruchu also had an uncle, two aunts, and a younger uncle.
Among these relatives, my uncle runs his own business and owns a small company. My two aunts work in the company as ordinary employees, and my uncle is an employee of a state-owned enterprise.
Because Su Ruchu's family had the best financial conditions, even though Lin Wanxiu was the youngest daughter, the family would often listen to her opinions.
For example, when their mother passed away this time, the daughters waited until Su Ruochu's family arrived before they began to discuss what to do after their mother's death.
After discussing it for a whole night, everyone put forward different opinions.
My uncle's opinion is that we should just hold a special memorial service by inviting all the relatives to come.
Of course, this was also the opinion of Su Ruchu's grandmother when she was alive. After all, this was also what Su Ruchu's grandmother did when she passed away.
However, Lin Wanxiu agreed.
As the youngest daughter, she has a very close relationship with her mother.
So she suggested holding a special ceremony for her mother and making it grand.
The uncle had no choice but to look at the other three people, wanting to hear their opinions.
The two aunts seemed a little hesitant, and only the uncle supported Lin Wanxiu's idea.
Su Xuecheng seemed to understand his family's thoughts, so he took the initiative to speak up and promised that all the expenses of the memorial service would be borne by his family.
Upon hearing this, the two aunts and two uncles looked a little embarrassed.
After all, among all the people present, only our two families have relatively average conditions.
My uncle waved his hands and said, "Why don't you let your family pay for it?"
"Mom is the mother of all of us. Let's do it according to Third Sister's idea and spend the money for all of us."
Upon hearing this, the two uncles present looked a little embarrassed.
Su Xuecheng was so smart that he immediately understood the other party's embarrassment.
So he took the initiative to speak again: "Let's put it this way. We will share the expenses of buying the tombstone and the cemetery, and I will pay for the memorial service and the dinner."
Uncle 꺶 glanced at Su Xuecheng.
"Let's split up. That's it."
In this matter, as the son, it is natural for Su Xuecheng to take responsibility alone.
Now that the matter was settled, the family started making phone calls.
Contact funeral homes, motorcades, relatives and friends, hotels...
Because I didn’t expect my mother to pass away suddenly and unexpectedly, I haven’t bought the tombstone I had chosen before.
So my uncle hurriedly called the contact person to prepare to sign the contract.
In addition, each family keeps in touch with familiar friends.
Among them, Uncle Xiao and Su Xuecheng have wider circles of friends. After all, they are businessmen and they make friends with many people.
After making a few phone calls, the friends I have a good relationship with clearly stated that they would definitely be there tomorrow, while some people would reply that they would see the situation tomorrow and would definitely be there if they had nothing else to do.
I can only express my gratitude for this situation, after all, this kind of thing cannot be forced.
After a busy morning, no one had time to rest.
Because tomorrow happens to be a good day, the Lin family has set the memorial service for tomorrow.
The exhibition hall for the memorial service was reserved by Su Ruochu and his family when they accompanied their uncle to the funeral home.
We chose the best room in the funeral home, so the price was naturally the most expensive.
But Lin Wanxiu is willing to spend the money.
In her opinion, her old mother had been busy all her life and must be buried with splendor after her death.
Su Xuecheng did not oppose his daughter-in-law's idea, but fully supported it and paid the deposit on the spot.
After a busy morning, everything was finally settled, and the family found a restaurant to have dinner, which was also a simple welcome for Su Ruchu's family.
As a result, just two hours after they took a breath, at 2:30 in the afternoon, the Lin family suddenly received a notice from the funeral home, saying that there was a small problem with the farewell hall reserved by the Lin family, and hoped that they would go there.
So they drove to the funeral home.
After arriving at the funeral home, the person in charge told us with a guilty look on his face that there was a small problem with the farewell hall reserved by the Lin family, which was also the best Crane Funeral Hall, so he reserved it for us.
Upon hearing this, the Lin family naturally asked what the reason was.
The person in charge had to explain that this funeral hall had been reserved by someone else, and the other party would also use this farewell hall tomorrow morning.
Naturally, the Lin family was in trouble now.
What does it mean to directly ask the person in charge?
We were the ones who made the reservation and paid for it, but now we were told that the room was used by someone else.
What does it mean?
Look up to us?
I was already in a sad mood, and no one could be in a good temper when encountering something like this.
Lin Wanxiu and Su Ruchu's two aunts had a conflict with the on-site staff on the spot.
Su Ruchu's uncle even grabbed the display board at the door and almost started a fight.
Just as the person in charge was retreating in embarrassment, not knowing what to do, a group of people walked out of the funeral hall.
When the Lin family saw this group of people, they knew that they must have been robbed.
Lin Wanxiu rushed up to argue with the other party, but the woman who was dressed in a lot of jewels didn't care at all and instead sneered.
"The Heyi Hall has already been reserved by my family, you can choose another one."
"Have you paid yet? I told you I had already called the person in charge to make a reservation."
The person in charge on the side quickly complained: "It was the staff below who knew about it, which led to the error in handling the matter..."
"You're lying. You're lying. I saw the staff check it yesterday and they said the Crane Ceremony Hall had not been booked yet."
Su Ruchu's second aunt opened her mouth and cursed, directly exposing the other party's lies.
The person in charge blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Instead, the jewel-covered woman next to him sneered.
"So what if you robbed me? Just go and mess with my house."
"You just paid the money? What's the big deal? I'll pay you three times the price."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxiu got angry and pointed at the other party and cursed.
"Now that you have money, will you start?"
"I'll give you double the money, hurry up!"
The woman snorted and laughed. "In that case, don't even think about taking a penny. I'll take over this room. Let's see who dares to make trouble."
"Let's go."
After saying that, he led a group of people out of the hall.
Lin Wanxiu wanted to argue with the other party, but Su Ruchu's uncle hurried forward to stop her.
"Oh, forget it."
"Forget it? Brother, what are you talking about?"
"They have come to our house, but Mom hasn't even been buried yet. If she knew about this, would we, as her children, still have the face to see her?"
Seeing his daughter-in-law was emotional, Su Ruchu stepped forward and grabbed Lin Wanxiu, then looked at Su Ruchu's uncle and asked in a low voice.
"Is the other party very important?"
Uncle 꺶 hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and nodded.
"well……"
