Chapter 144 Li Dani's Funeral



"Don't give me that." Wu Lanhua stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on Pei Qingyang's waist. "There are no outsiders here. Don't say you don't want to laugh. After all, we are relieved."

Pei Qingyang took a deep breath and said, "Wife, be gentle. We are riding bicycles. We might fall into the ditch together. After all, she is my mother. I can't be so happy when my mother dies, right?"

When Li Dani was living in Pei Qingbai's house and making trouble, Pei Qingyang and Wu Lanhua were worried all night long and often couldn't sleep, for they were afraid that after Li Dani had tormented the second brother and his wife, she would come to torment them again.

Now that this great disaster has finally gone, they really feel that the huge stone in their hearts is no longer hanging.

"Well, Fourth Brother, I didn't mean to curse mother to death." Pei Qingyang immediately realized Pei Yuanzheng was still beside him, and quickly explained, "Didn't Second Brother get that thing done by mother a while ago? My wife is afraid that mother will move in next. It's not that I don't want to be filial to mother, it's just that..."

"I understand." Pei Yuanzheng didn't let him continue.

Among the brothers, except Pei Qingsong, who else is truly filial to Li Dani?

The four of them walked all the way to the old house. Wu Lanhua couldn't suppress the smile at all. How could she be in this state?

Ruan Niannian used her trump card, "Third sister-in-law, if you keep laughing, everyone will say you are unfilial. You are the person in charge of the shop, and if no one comes to the shop to buy things, you will not get any commission."

!!!

What kind of shocking tragedy is this?

The corners of Wu Lanhua's mouth, which had been held down all the way, suddenly drooped in fear. Was there no way she could smile anymore?

She makes dozens of dollars a month!

It’s equal to two months’ salary of a normal worker!

Am I going to be laughed to death by her?

For a moment, I felt sad and tears welled up in my eyes.

"Yes! Keep it up!" Ruan Niannian said quickly, "Third sister-in-law, the harder you cry, the more people will say you are filial, the more people will buy things from you, and the higher the commission will be!"

"Don't laugh, or everything will be gone!"

Wu Lanhua swore in her heart that today, she would be the most filial daughter-in-law.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, the main thing is that I can’t bear to part with Li Dani.

The bicycle was moving very fast, and when it arrived at the old house, Pei Qingsong and Li Jinhua had already arranged everything.

After all, it was a sensitive period, so they simply used the things Pei Yuanzheng had bought before to decorate the door. Li Dani's skinny body was placed on the door panel, and Pei Qingsong and Li Dani knelt on both sides.

People from the tribe were coming one after another. They came not too late, but not too early either.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, I called them back. Are the second brother and sister-in-law here?"

Before they could come back, a figure rushed over from behind, howling, "Mom! Mom! How come you are gone? I was waiting to take you to my home to enjoy happiness! Wuuuuuu... Mom!"

At the beginning, there was a bit of dry howling in her voice, but when she thought that if she didn't cry sadly, her commission would be gone, Wu Lanhua's sincere tears finally fell.

"Oh my god! I haven't done my best to be filial to you yet! How can you leave now?"

Wu Lanhua had never been to school, and she kept repeating the same few words over and over again. Her tears fell sincerely, making the tribesmen who had already arrived sigh that Pei Qingyang's wife was a good person.

Li Jinhua pulled Ruan Niannian aside with a twitch in her mouth to put on her hemp clothes, and whispered, "Here we are, a little earlier than you. He just said that the second son wanted to relieve himself, and his wife said she was afraid that he would fall down because he couldn't stand steadily, so she accompanied him. He probably didn't want to stay here after all. Our eldest son's face turned blue just now."

Pei Qingsong was angry, but he couldn't lose his temper.

Firstly, this was Li Dani's funeral, and he wanted Li Dani to go in peace. Secondly, Li Dani was not very kind to Pei Qingbai's family when she was alive, and he had no right to blame Pei Qingbai for being unfilial.

A mother is kind and a son is filial. A mother must be kind before a son can be filial. Pei Qingsong graduated from junior high school and he knew the meaning of this word. Even if he felt depressed, he had no right to blame Pei Qingbai for being unwilling to be filial.

Before the family split up, even Pei Qingyang was treated better than Pei Qingbai.

The main reason is that Pei Qingyang and Wu Lanhua are too bad. It’s not that Li Dani wants to be nice to them, but they simply cannot accept being at a disadvantage or suffering hardship.

Ruan Niannian changed into the linen clothes, and Li Jinhua took out the mourning hat and put it on her, and also used two small black hairpins to fix it on both sides.

"Okay, go out now. Don't be so honest. After kneeling for a while, find an excuse to go out for a walk. If you kneel for three days, your legs will be broken. Do you hear me?" Li Jinhua warned carefully.

Seeing Ruan Niannian nodded, she said, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away, okay?"

Nodded again.

Only then was he pushed out by Li Jinhua.

Wu Lanhua did not receive such treatment. After all, she had attended Pei Xiaowu's funeral and knew the rules.

Although the traditional funeral ceremonies here have been cancelled in order to break feudal superstitions, in order to show filial piety, the body is kept for three days to facilitate relatives and friends to pay their respects, and filial sons and grandsons are required to kneel in front of the spirit for three days.

They also have to take turns to keep vigil at night.

After the funeral, my knees were bruised for a while.

After changing her wife, Ruan Niannian knelt down in front of the coffin, staring blankly without saying a word. She really didn't have any feelings for Li Dani. If she had to say any feelings, it was more of disgust and hatred.

Although it is said that debts are cleared when one dies and she has let it go now, what Li Dani did will always remain in her heart.

Pei Yuanzheng also changed his clothes, knelt beside her, held her hand and stuffed something soft into her hand.

"What?" she asked in a low voice.

"You'll know after you see it. Now go out and relieve yourself."

Ruan Niannian knelt obediently for a while, then went to the bathroom.

When she opened the thing Pei Yuanzheng gave her in the toilet, she found it was a pair of knee pads. They were soft and comfortable to touch, which made Ruan Niannian feel warm in her heart.

She tied knee pads around her knees, which were neither too thin nor too thick to be seen under her baggy pants.

After tying her up, she went back to kneeling straight.

Just then, the second uncle walked in.

"Yuanzheng's wife, I just came and saw that you were not here. Qingsong's wife said that you went to the bathroom. Did you see Qingbai and his wife?"

Ruan Niannian shook her head subconsciously and heard the second uncle sigh.

She quickly made up for it, "Second brother and his wife came before us. Maybe second brother's legs were uncomfortable from kneeling for too long, so he went out to rest for a while."

"Hey, my daughter-in-law from Yuanzheng, you are a good one." The second uncle left this sentence and walked out again.

He knew that Pei Qingbai had a difficult knot in his heart, but Pei Qingbai was Li Dani's biological son after all. If Pei Yuanzheng was impatient today, no one in the clan would say a word.

Pei Qingbai could lose his temper, but it was too much to do this at Li Dani's funeral.

If you feel pain in your legs, you can just say it out loud, stand aside or move a stool to sit and rest for a while, and no one will just disappear without saying anything.
