When they arrived that morning, almost everyone was already there. The crematorium was too quiet, so they didn't bring the child. She was worried that Aunt Liu wouldn't be able to handle it, so she had to rush back early.
Before leaving, Aunt Liu specifically told them to make two "pooh" sounds and mutter something before getting in the car.
"Don't follow me."
This made Shen Qingli feel a little amused and helpless, and Meng Xiao's expression was hard to describe. He didn't expect Aunt Liu to be so feudal and superstitious. If people knew about this, they would be arrested and educated.
"Dad, Mom." Shen Qingli walked forward and put his arm around Gigi Lai, while Meng Xiao stood next to Shen Ping.
"Yeah. Coming."
Meng Jianye saw them but didn't say anything. It was better not to make things more complicated on such a day. After all, he had never gotten anything good out of their hands several times.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law." Meng Ling and Meng Li were standing not far from them, so they couldn't hide away and greeted them timidly.
"Yeah." Meng Xiao nodded, and Shen Qingli nodded and smiled back. These two sisters have always had a low presence and have never provoked her.
On the other hand, Wu Zhaodi rolled her eyes as if her eyes were cramping.
She was indignant in her heart, thinking that it was no wonder that the two were husband and wife. They were such uneducated people that they didn't even know how to say hello to their elders when they met them.
"elder brother."
Meng Hao walked over and handed a cigarette to Meng Xiao and Shen Ping.
Meng Xiao paused, raised his hand and patted Meng Hao's shoulder before reaching out to take his cigarette: "My condolences."
Meng Hao forced a smile on his exhausted face.
He turned his gaze to Shen Qingli and pursed his lips:
"sister in law."
"My condolences."
"Thank you for coming." Meng Hao bowed to them. Shen Qingli turned sideways slightly to avoid them. Gigi Lai turned away with tears in her eyes.
It wasn't Shen Jiayao's turn yet, and someone had just prepared a "posthumous memorial" for her.
Someone came to take them to see "the last time."
Shen Qingli held Meng Xiao's hand tightly throughout the whole process, until the moment the white cloth was pulled open, she resisted the urge to close her eyes.
She reached out and pulled down Meng Xiao's hand that was covering her eyes, and forced herself to open her eyes wide and look.
"Shen Qingli", did you see it?
The person who hurt you is dead!
You are right, cause and effect will always be cyclical, retribution will always come, evildoers will eventually get their comeuppance!
Gigi Lai and Shen Ping had red eyes. Meng Hao was standing closest to them. He smoothed Shen Jiayao's hair with trembling hands.
"I will do what you expect. You can go without worry. When I die one day, in the underworld, I will make a sincere apology to you. You must forgive me."
Wu Zhaodi was just about to curse him for what he said, saying there was no way he would curse herself to death, when Meng Jianye twisted her and held her tightly.
She took a deep breath and turned away, out of sight, out of mind.
The moment Shen Jiayao was pushed into the furnace and the door was closed, everyone looked away. No one could bear to watch that scene.
Separation from loved ones and death is the saddest thing.
When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, and everything in the past disappears into thin air.
Life is about making a big fuss and then leaving quietly.

Shen Ping and Li Zi had to rush back to the factory to work, and she also had to go back to see the children. They didn't talk about any family matters, and after saying goodbye, they got into their respective cars.
As someone who had "died" once, Shen Qingli still believed in that kind of stuff. Before she got in the car, she really heard Aunt Liu say "Pooh" twice, and then she got in the car quickly, as if there was really something dirty chasing her from behind.
"Is it really that serious?" Meng Xiao laughed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "With me here, no demon or monster can get close to you."
He was joking, but Shen Qingli knew it was true. The "she" in the dream said that people like Meng Xiao have the golden light of protecting the country, the light of merit, and the murderous aura of having seen blood. Ordinary ghosts and monsters really dare not approach him.
"I don't have time to go back to see grandpa this time. Maybe next time." Shen Qingli said with a smile.
"It's okay."

"Eh? Long time no see." Meng Kexin looked at the person in front of her with some surprise, thinking that they would never see each other again. She felt a little surprised.
Jiang Chengyu also endured for a few days and came to understand his own heart.
"Long time no see, little girl."
He was sure that he just wanted to understand her, wanted to be close to her, he felt sorry for her, and she attracted him.
"Why do you keep calling me little girl? You don't look much older than me."
Meng Kexin pouted slightly, somewhat dissatisfied, but because the other party had saved her, she didn't say anything.
"I'm twenty-three, so I'm definitely older than you."
"Oh, well, I'm not as old as you. I'm only nineteen." She reluctantly agreed to the young girl's request. "Why are you here today? Do you need anything?"
Jiang Chengyu was a little shy and hesitant, and his face was a little red.
Meng Kexin watched his expression change several times. This guy is so cute...
"I...I want to invite you to see a movie this afternoon. Do you...have time?" He spoke these words intermittently.
Meng Kexin was stunned. It was very important to keep a clear distinction between men and women. They were not in a relationship, but she never avoided such matters.
"Okay, I'll treat you. I didn't thank you properly last time."
She smiled widely, which made Jiang Chengyu a little confused: Didn’t this little girl understand what he meant... Wasn’t he expressing it clearly enough?
However, it is good to have further contact, which means that the girl does not dislike him.
Jiang Chengyu! You can do it!
He secretly encouraged himself.
