Chapter 261: After the Funeral (New Moon Asks for Votes)
Xu Xuemei also didn't want to have any contact with Xie Lanzhi. She just wanted to do her own thing well. As for what the second brother and his wife did, it had nothing to do with her.
But there was no way to stop people from getting closer to her.
Xu Xuemei just went to the main hall to light the incense, candles and paper money for the old lady, and got up to go out.
When she turned around, she almost bumped into Xie Lanzhi. The key point was that the other person was staring at her with a sinister look, and she didn't know how long he had been there.
"What are you doing?" Seeing her blocking the door, Xu Xuemei frowned.
"Sister-in-law, you should be very happy in your heart, right?" Xie Lanzhi suddenly grinned.
"What are you talking about?"
Xu Xuemei was really convinced. If the person lying in the coffin wasn't her husband's mother, she wouldn't have brought him here today.
"I think you should be very happy now, right? Aren't you happy that the old woman is dead? After all, she was not kind to you before."
Xie Lanzhi said.
"Although she was not very nice to me, she seemed to be nice to you, right? You are not sad at all when she died?" Xu Xuemei thought this man was too weird. How could he have the nerve to ask her this question?
"Why should I be sad? It's all your fault, the Shen family. There is not a single good person in your Shen family. If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have been sent to the farm for reform. She hasn't come back yet, and we don't know whether she is alive or dead!" Xie Lanzhi suddenly became a little agitated, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Xuemei was not very good.
"Isn't what you said a bit too unreasonable? You should know very well what your daughter did. How come only your daughter is a human being, while others are not? If we hadn't discovered it early, I don't know what would have happened to my two children!"
Xu Xuemei was also very unhappy after hearing this.
"But so what? Even if my daughter did something bad, your daughter and your grandchildren are fine, but you guys are killing my daughter!"
"You are also a mother, how could you do such a thing? How could you just stand by and watch, and not be willing to help me persuade Chen Jintao?"
"Every one of you Shen family members is so cold and indifferent, including Shen Jianguo, who is not a good guy. He doesn't even care about his own daughter. I have never seen a family like the Shen family, Xu Xuemei, don't you think so?"
Xie Lanzhi's expression was obviously a little crazy.
"Why should I feel that way?" Xu Xuemei didn't take these words to heart at all. "Xie Lanzhi, it's okay if you can't help, but don't make trouble here. There are so many things waiting to be done. Get out of the way!"
After Xie Lanzhi sneered, she moved aside to make way for Xu Xuemei.
Xu Xuemei didn't want to continue arguing with a crazy woman. You would never understand anything if you argued with such a person.
"You guys are doing really well?"
"Where is my Miaomiao?"
"Where is my Miaomiao?"
"I'm going to look for my Miaomiao, too..."
Xie Lanzhi's mumblings were transmitted into Xu Xuemei's headphones. She couldn't help but shudder. She didn't know why she always felt Xie Lanzhi's current situation. It's very bad.
The old lady's funeral lasted for three full days. If it had happened two years ago, she would have been buried hastily and there would have been no such grand ceremony.
It is only because the policies are now relaxed that people dare to take such actions. Although it is wrong to envy a dead person, after all, Wang Lanxiu's funeral still makes those elderly people who are about to reach adulthood a little envious.
There is no one who doesn't want to live in peace and health, but not everyone can live to the day of death.
Especially these elderly people who have experienced hardships have some problems to a greater or lesser extent.
In their brigade, it is considered quite good to live to 70 years old on average. The fact that young people can handle the funeral of the elderly in such a grand manner is something that these elderly people envy.
They knew in their hearts that this day would come sooner or later, and naturally hoped that the young people in their family would be as caring as the Shen family.
At least don't wait until you die, as if you have completely disappeared from this world, without leaving any trace.
People like Wang Lanxiu, even if they are dead, will probably be mentioned often in the future.
After finishing the old lady's funeral, Xu Xuemei and Shen Jianmin went to ask the old man about going to Shen Jintao's place.
Thinking of the sinister look his second son gave him from time to time, Mr. Shen felt that he should leave.
"Okay, didn't we already agree on this? I will definitely go with you guys. Now I have nothing to worry about. Why should I worry about going?"
"Dad, it's great that you think this way. We should also travel around and have a look while we are still young. Don't you know that our Taozi has opened a factory over there? It's a clothing factory, right? She even asked us to run the factory for her!"
"I know. That girl is a capable one. She is the most capable child in our family. It's a pity that she is a girl and has a younger brother, otherwise she would have stayed at home." Grandpa Shen still felt uncomfortable thinking that his capable granddaughter was married to someone else.
Huo Chenggong was also very happy this time. He had wanted to find his own wife for a long time, so the conditions on their side were a little worse, but his relative Shen Jianmin could be with Xu Xuemei every day. He was like an old man that no one wanted. Fortunately, he could still go to his relative's house for meals, otherwise he didn't know how miserable his life would be.
He also made a lot of money from the bamboo cup he made two years ago. Now he has a lot of money on hand. All the young people are capable. Except for Huo Dongsheng who is still in college, his eldest son and little daughter don't need them to spend any money at all.
Huo Dongsheng had been saving his money, thinking that he could find some work to do when he got there, or open a shop of his own.
If Chen Jintao knew what her father-in-law was thinking, she would definitely be very happy, because she also had the idea of opening a second restaurant, and if her father-in-law was in charge, there would be nothing wrong with that.
Huo Beichuan also learned from Chen Jintao the news of the death of the old lady of the Shen family, but he was very clear that his wife did not have much affection for that grandmother, so he did not have to worry that his wife would be too sad because of this.
But in order to instill good values in their children, Shen Jintao and Huo Beichuan explained to them in detail what happened when their great-grandmother passed away.
Dabao and Erbao don’t have much impression of their great-grandmother, but they have learned the concept of the departure of relatives from their parents.
