Chapter 162
On the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, Jian Li was packing her schoolbag for the next day of school.
Wang Mengmei hurried home: "Hurry, change your clothes and follow me."
Jian Li was stunned and asked, "What clothes do you want to change? What's wrong?"
Wang Mengmei: "Your grandma is gone, hurry up."
Jian Li swiftly found a black down jacket and put it on, her mind still in a daze.
Did her grandmother die so early in her previous life? It seems not. She remembered very clearly that Huang Guihua died two years later.
Without bothering to ask too many more questions, Jian Li and Wang Mengmei changed into black clothes, hurriedly took a taxi, and headed straight for the Ge family.
Huang Guihua died at her daughter's home.
When Wang Mengmei and Jian Li arrived, what they saw was Ge Yaqin's pale face without tears.
Jian Feng had arrived a long time ago. He had a suit in his office that he used to meet clients. After changing into the suit, Jian Feng was the first one to arrive.
Ge Changjun and Ge Changyuan came one after another. Their father Ge Qiang ignored the guests in the room and sat down anywhere he could, as if the person lying in the coffin was not his wife but an insignificant person.
Jian Feng spoke a few words to Wang Mengmei, who nodded and took the mourning belt. She and Jian Li both kowtowed in front of the coffin.
After bowing, Wang Mengmei stopped talking and stood aside with her daughter.
Ge Changjun entered the room and kowtowed. When he saw Jian Feng, he approached him and spoke a few human words, calling him brother.
"Brother, I heard that you are doing grain and oil business now, right? Is it profitable?"
After Ge Changjun withdrew from the construction company, he was not successful in everything he did. He invested in several bath centers and lost money. He also invested in a chess and card room and lost money. Now he is working with others to make medical equipment, but he is also on the verge of losing money.
Ge Changjun looked at Jian Feng, a subtle layer of jealousy welling up in his heart.
In recent years, Jian Feng's life has become better!
They were all in the same city, so of course he knew that Jian Feng had invested in a company that made gift boxes and food. He had originally sneered at it, but when he saw Jian Feng driving to the funeral and dressed neatly, he realized that whether a person was living a good life or not could be seen from his face.
From Jian Feng's appearance, one can tell that he is living a good life.
Ge Changjun just kept licking his face and sticking close to him, hoping to get some good things from this big brother who was always good at talking.
Jian Feng did not comment, and when Ge Changjun asked him, he just said a few words like "ok", "average", and "I don't know".
Ge Changjun felt annoyed when he saw that he was like a turtle that couldn't bite open the shell, but he had no choice but to patiently try to get the question from him.
Jian Feng looked at him and asked, "What happened to Ge Ming later?"
These one sentence completely ruined Ge Changjun's mood.
Ge Ming was later sentenced to twelve years in prison, and this was largely due to his father's contribution.
Not only did he not find a lawyer for his son, he also instigated a few hooligans to bite Ge Ming.
Later, Ge Ming was sentenced to twelve years in prison for multiple crimes.
But this still made Ge Changjun's teeth itch with hatred. If it weren't for this unfilial son, he could have run his business peacefully instead of being like now, doing nothing in his thirties and having to smile at people everywhere.
Jian Feng seemed to be unable to see Ge Changjun's expression. Whenever Ge Changjun asked him about business, he would ask Ge Ming. Soon, Ge Changjun walked away in annoyance.
The woman that Ge Changjun brought was very charming, wearing heavy makeup and a leather skirt. She did not even say hello when she saw Jian Feng, and no one knew if she was the mother of the child that Ge Changjun later found.
Although Ge Changyuan was not rude to Jian Feng at first and respectful later, he was obviously more respectful to him. He considered many details for Jian Feng regarding Huang Guihua's funeral.
There was only one thing that he had to discuss with Jian Feng.
"My dad said... our mom was remarried after all, and there was no space reserved for her in the old grave... why not just bury her back in our hometown in Northeast China..."
Jian Feng stared at his brother without a smile on his face.
Ge Changyuan also felt that what he said was too much.
When Huang Guihua was alive, he always said that he was a member of the Ge family when he was alive and a ghost of the Ge family when he died. Now that he is really gone, should he be buried back in the previous family?
Not to mention that Jian Feng disagreed, even if the situation was reversed, he would not agree.
But……
Ge Changyuan had a splitting headache. Who made him have a father like Ge Qiang?
Ge Qiang's original words were not so nice. He said: "If you let your mother bury the old grave, how can I find a new partner in the future?"
Yes, Ge Qiang is planning to find another one.
Ge Changyuan had no choice but to come to Jian Feng for advice.
Jian Feng dismissed him with a casual remark: "Okay, bury him back in Northeast China, and you and Ge Changjun will change your surnames and given names."
Huang Guihua loved to use this trick to shut him up back then, always saying that he took the Jian family's surname and that she had her reasons for treating him differently.
Now Ge Changyuan wants to bury his biological mother in the Jian family's grave, so he should change her surname!
Ge Changyuan frowned and said, "Brother, even if you don't want to, you don't have to say such harsh words. You haven't changed your last name in all these years, right?"
Jian Feng: "I didn't change, so your dad kicked me out when I was in my teens."
Speaking of this, Ge Changyuan was completely speechless.
As he grew older, he could see more clearly his mother's partiality and his father's viciousness.
But as the party that benefits, he is always unwilling to see or hear the suffering of others.
In the past, Jian Feng didn't say anything, so he just pretended not to hear.
But now, Jian Feng's eyes told him that if Ge Changyuan dared to say it again, Jian Feng would make a big fuss for him to see, just like he did when he took care of Huang Guihua in her old age.
Ge Changyuan was really scared. Jian Feng's move made him the topic of conversation for many people in the hospital.
If it happens again, he really won’t be able to continue in the unit.
"Okay, if you don't want to bury me, then don't bury me."
Ge Changyuan went to Ge Qiang in anger. He didn't care. Huang Guihua was destined to be buried in the old grave. If Ge Qiang was worried that there would be no place to bury her later, he could just dig another grave. With such a father, Ge Changyuan would be in trouble for the rest of his life.
Not many people came to Huang Guihua's funeral. Ge Changjun's business had been losing money, and the people around him had stopped fawning on him. Ge Changyuan's wife brought Ge Qi to kowtow, and then went back with the excuse that she had an operation at the hospital.
No one came from Ge Yaqin's husband's family.
Wang Mengmei heard some of the visitors whispering.
Only then did I understand what Huang Guihua had done in the past year.
Ever since Huang Guihua became half paralyzed, she has not been able to live well anywhere. Ge Changjun's wife scolds her, and Ge Changyuan and his wife don't care about her and leave the old lady at home to be taken care of by a nanny.
Huang Guihua later decided to give up and asked to live with her daughter.
Ge Changyuan and Ge Changjun were happy to see this happen. After all, Ge Yaqin had said before that Jian Feng and his wife would take care of the old lady, and they would pool their money to pay them for their hard work. Now that it was Ge Yaqin's turn, and her daughter was more attentive, they could still follow this plan.
Ge Yaqin said it again and again, saying no. But the two brothers still sent their old mother over.
For two months, Huang Guihua lived in her daughter's house.
There is no filial son in front of an old bed, not to mention that Huang Guihua has been mentally distorted by the pain she has suffered from the illness.
She became jealous when she saw her healthy daughter and kept trying to make trouble for her.
She had to eat well, and she would overturn the dishes if they were not to her liking. Ge Yaqin could not work overtime, and if she came home late, she would howl with her big mouth, and the neighbors would come to question her. She would even get angry if the bath water was a little hot or a little cold.
Huang Guihua's twisted attitude quickly made Ge Yaqin realize how shallow and ignorant her words "Give money to my elder brother and sister-in-law and let them take care of us" were.
Taking care of an old person is more laborious than taking care of a baby. A baby can still see hope, but an old person will only struggle again and again in the future.
Huang Guihua was in great pain and her husband didn't understand. He always blamed her for not telling him before taking the girl back.
"As a daughter, I don't say anything if you go to the hospital to take care of her, but go out and see who would take care of their seriously ill mother-in-law at home?"
Her husband slammed the door and left. Ge Yaqin endured for a month, but couldn't bear it anymore.
She angrily scolded Huang Guihua, and after Huang Guihua deliberately made trouble again, she sent Huang Guihua back to Ge Changyuan's home.
So in the last period of Huang Guihua's life, she switched between her two sons and one daughter.
No matter which house you go to, you have to look at people's faces.
Huang Guihua seemed to have let things go. She suppressed her eldest son and created good conditions for her other children. She got sick before she could enjoy her old age.
Too bad!
She wants to suffer enough before she dies.
After going through all this, Huang Guihua exhausted all her children's patience and finally made it to 2000.
After eating the dumplings on the fifth day of the New Year, Huang Guihua began to breathe rapidly and was sent to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that it would only take half a month.
"You can also give the elderly an IV drip to keep them going for a few more days."
How many days can it last?
Ge Yaqin, Ge Changyuan and Ge Changjun didn't say anything. Finally, Huang Guihua went to the hospital after calling for more than a long time.
Ge Yaqin knelt in front of the coffin, but her husband's family didn't even give her the face to do this. There was no doubt that their dissatisfaction was written on their faces.
She didn't know how things had come to this. She shouldn't be living like this!
Huang Guihua was lying in the coffin, which had not yet been closed. The people carrying the coffin called on their relatives to come up and take a last look at her.
Jian Feng, Wang Mengmei and Jian Li all went to see it. Jian Feng pursed his lips while Wang Mengmei also sighed.
Ge Changyuan, Ge Changjun and Ge Yaqin didn't even look at it. They just told the coffin bearers to close the coffin.
With a click, the coffin closed.
Ge Yaqin lay on the ground and cried loudly.
