Life and death are serious matters.
The next day, the snow on the mountain road leading to the village was higher than people's calves, but it did not stop the police from entering the village and taking the two suspects, Chen Xiaocao and Meng Quan, to the police station.
It also did not stop Meng Chenglin and others from returning to the village.
Meng Chao went to the south, and Chen Hongxing and his wife came back with Meng Ling and Meng Qiang who was on winter vacation.
Meng Chengyuan's biological mother, Li Chunhua, also took a ride and managed to return to the village alone in the evening of that day.
Probably because of the blow of seeing off five people, including her son, grandson, and husband, all at once last time, this time she lost her last son. Apart from the sadness on her face and the embarrassment of traveling over mountains and hills, Mrs. Li was surprisingly in good spirits.
When she got home, she threw herself on her son and cried bitterly. Then, she reluctantly asked him the whole story and began to teach Meng Ping a lesson, as he had been kneeling in front of the coffin for almost two days and refused to get up.
"Your father is dead, so you're thinking of going with him, right?
He is stupid and you are stupid too?
He is unfilial and you are also unfilial?
I worked so hard to raise your father, but I never enjoyed a single day of his happiness.
I raised you with so much hard work, and you don't plan to take care of an old lonely woman like me, right?
········. ”
After crying and cursing, Meng Ping, who was in a daze, hugged his grandmother and cried for a while, and finally calmed down and regained some energy.
The old man and the young man changed into clean clothes, shoes and socks, and supported each other as they walked to Meng Anchang to express their gratitude solemnly.
When Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia saw the old lady with white hair, they felt mixed emotions.
Those who enjoyed their old age in their previous life and relied on their children and grandchildren to enjoy their lives, now at their old age, still have endless worries and troubles.
But soon they no longer had to worry about it, as Old Man Meng came over and said to them directly, "Young Master Sheng, take your wife home.
We're almost done with what we need to do, there's no need to stand around here!"
Feng Yijia knew immediately that Old Lady Li still held a grudge and didn't want to see her. Coincidentally, she didn't like getting involved with a few other women in gossiping about everything, so she turned around and walked out.
Meng Sheng said hello to his parents, caught up with his wife in a few steps, and took her home together.
The two of them didn't take this matter to heart at all, and on the way they discussed whether to have roast chicken with potatoes or stewed duck with sour radish for dinner.
It is said that in the afternoon, Chen Hongxing and her group came back and saw that dozens of chickens and ducks they had raised at home were gone. The couple was so angry that one of them picked up a broom and the other picked up a shoulder pole, and chased Meng Sheng around the yard three times before giving up.
Feng Yijia could barely be considered a new daughter-in-law, and she still had some face and did not become the target of a lecture from her parents-in-law.
I stood by and watched the excitement without any hesitation.
In other words, the couple was too tired after walking in the snow for three or four hours, and they also had to take care of the funeral, otherwise Meng Sheng would have received a good scolding.
In the evening, Chen Hongxing took some time to come back after dinner. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law chatting and laughing while gnawing on chicken bones, she felt a dull pain in her chest but also a sense of relief.
I was worried about these two prodigal sons in vain, and was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable if they were driven away. But it turned out that they were not affected at all.
If Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng wanted to know what she was thinking, they would definitely reply, "It's not like our family is short of food or clothing. Why would we rush to help others with the funeral meal to feel happy?"
Neither Feng Yijia nor Meng Sheng showed up at the subsequent funeral.
Meng Chengyuan's body was kept at home for three days before being sent to the mountain.
It was much better than when his father, brother and nephew passed away, when there were almost no people to carry the coffin to the funeral. Although he was stupid, he had never done anything bad. He died suddenly and tragically. Most people in the village felt pity for him, and many came out to see him off.
Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng knew they were not welcome and did not participate. Several others were also not welcome, but were dragged by Old Lady Li to kowtow to her son.
Two of them are Chen Xiaocao's parents. As the old saying goes, it is the father's fault if he fails to educate his child. If a daughter cheats and kills someone, the parents must kowtow and apologize.
The other two are Meng Quan's brother and sister-in-law, who live with Meng Quan. The eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so it is not too unfair for him to kowtow to Meng Quan.
The burial and grave-building processes were quickly completed with the help of the villagers.
After finishing the last white banquet in the morning, the villagers began to disperse. Old Mrs. Li pulled Meng Jiemin, who was about to leave, and mentioned Chen Xiaocao.
"That vicious woman and her adulterer killed my son, and the government must put her to death.
It is right to pay back a life with a life, but after all, she gave birth to Meng Ping, and the Chen family probably won't care about her.
For Pingwazi's sake, I left some money in the village.
If someone dies one day, have the village send someone to collect the body, make a thin coffin, and bury it in a corner of the back mountain. This is Pingwazi's filial piety."
Meng Jimin looked at the money and was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that the old lady had lost all her support and had lived in the provincial capital for a few months, and she had become much more generous.
But he didn't ask any more questions. He sighed, took the stack of big unity notes, and nodded in agreement.
After seeing Meng Jiemin off, most of the people in the courtyard had dispersed, leaving only Meng Anchang, who was a closer blood relative, to clean up the mess.
Of course, even if the Meng Sheng couple were not there, there were still many children and grandchildren left. Meng Anchang and his wife did not do anything themselves, but stood aside and gave orders.
At this time, the old man was puffing on his pipe and looked at Li Chunhua disapprovingly: "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you.
Meng Ping is fifteen or sixteen years old. This young boy has bankrupted his father and soon we will have to find him a wife.
Meng Le is still young, and there will be a lot of places where he will need money in the future.
The money you have is always going out, so you need to hold on to it and think more about the children. "Why bother with a woman who's unfaithful to her husband? She deserves to be torn to pieces!"
