The person who came was Chen Ma's eldest brother, who was also the uncle of the brothers Chen Wei and Chen Liang.
As the old saying goes, bury your father wherever you want when your mother dies, and wait for your uncle to come when she dies.
Dad Chen was a little scared because when he was young, he had an argument with Mom Chen and was slapped by his brother-in-law who was digging for food in the fields. He would never forget the strength of that slap.
It happened so fast that he had no time to react. He felt dizzy and found himself lying on the ground. His face was burning with pain. Even after more than ten days, the swelling on that side of his face still hadn't gone down.
Although my brother-in-law has more white hair now, he is still in good health.
Dad Chen brought his son and grandchildren downstairs to greet his uncle. If you look closely, you can see that his legs and feet are a little trembling. There is nothing he can do about it. Even after twenty years, the left side of his face still hurts slightly.
Chen Ma's surname is Xi and her given name is Shimei. She is the second child in the family. She is of similar age to her eldest brother Xi Jiufeng and has a good relationship with him.
After a special period, the brother and sister were left with only two of them after the whole family suffered, so they regarded each other as very important.
Although the two families are far apart, one in the county town and the other in the countryside, they often communicate with each other.
Xi Jiufeng was still weeding in the field when he learned the bad news. He glared and was about to yell at someone for cursing his sister. His sister was healthy and not even fifty years old, so how could she suddenly die?
Only when he saw that the person coming was his nephew Chen Liang did he suppress his anger. Only when he saw that he was dressed in mourning did he dare to believe this fact.
So Xi Jiufeng didn't care about anything else and took Chen Liang straight to Chen's house in the county town, determined to give Chen's father some love education.
He rushed to his sister's house as quickly as possible.
The most eye-catching thing was the makeshift thatched hut next to it. Qiao Xin held her daughter in her arms, wiping her tears and bowing to the visitors.
When Xi Jiufeng came to Chen's house to meet his nephew's wife, his sister kept praising her, saying how filial and good she was.
He couldn't accept it. His sister, who had visited his grandson a few days ago, still had her voice and smile in his mind, but in the blink of an eye, she was lying cold in a coffin.
Even though he lived in an era of food and clothing shortages, he was naturally a head taller than others, had a broad build, and his arms were thicker than an average person's thighs. He rushed forward and moved the coffin lid away.
The coffin will not be nailed shut until the funeral procession three days later, so the upper boards can be moved at this time.
It is very heavy and difficult for most people to move, and basically requires help from others.
Xi Jiufeng ignored the shocked cries of the guests next to him. He just stared at his sister's remains, not knowing what he was thinking.
Because she fell from the mountain, Chen Ma was too unsightly to look at when she was carried home. They had to hire a special person to wash and dress her up before she could be successfully buried.
Of course, her remains looked much different than usual.
It was at this time that Chen's father came over. Xi Jiufeng, who had just come to his senses, knocked him to the ground with one punch, leaving him no time to explain.
As sons, the brothers Chen Wei and Chen Liang could only quickly help their father up, not daring to say a word.
There's no way. After my mother died, my uncle beat my father. Isn't that natural?
The guests were used to it.
This is almost a must-see program at every funeral of a middle-aged or elderly woman. The uncle beats the father to vent his anger. No one can persuade him, and no one can stop him. He really beats him.
It was not until Father Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, with a large tooth mixed in the blood, that the two brothers Chen Wei and Chen Liang quickly blocked their uncle's second punch.
His colleagues and neighbors then cried out, thinking that the situation was serious, and went to help stop Xi Jiufeng.
That side of Mr. Chen's face was swollen, a tooth had fallen out, and the bleeding lasted for several minutes before it stopped with the help of a folk remedy. It was obvious that Xi Jiufeng's strength was still as strong as before.
Not only was he unable to fight back, he also had to apologize and bow to his brother-in-law with a wry smile.
Chen's mother, who was only in her forties, died suddenly. As a husband, he was responsible no matter how he tried to argue, and he deserved to be beaten.
Please arrange an extra person for Ping An Fu. One of my two daughters-in-law cannot go for the month of pregnancy. Is it okay to let one of my three daughters accompany her?
Even if he went with her, Aunt Chen wouldn't be going alone, and at least she could lend a hand.
Xi Jiufeng didn't care about Chen's father's regret, he just wanted to tear this guy into pieces. His only sister was gone!
The two sisters, who were related by blood, supported each other and grew up together in an era of war, lack of food and clothing, but they died in one day!
Fortunately, there were many guests who stopped Xi Jiufeng and tried to persuade him to let it go for the sake of his sister's funeral.
To be honest, who can know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident?
Gradually, Xi Jiufeng could only accept his fate. He lost all his strength and looked at the white words "葬" on his sister's black coffin with an expressionless face.
Tears fell unconsciously, and he was completely unaware of it, only recalling the good times of his childhood.
Seeing that their uncle had finally calmed down, Chen Wei and Chen Liang did not dare to laugh at their uncle for crying. They just took Chen's father upstairs first, and then brought their three sisters to see their uncle.
Xi Jiufeng felt nothing about his three nieces' kowtows; he didn't even look at them.
Chen Dani went to her uncle's house the most when she was a child and had the best relationship with him. Now she can only advise him to mourn less.
After all, it was an accident, and no one wanted it to happen.
Gradually, Xi Jiufeng calmed down. He followed the normal procedure to burn incense and paper for his sister, and then asked about the cause of Chen Ma's death.
Seeing her uncle asking this, Qiao Xin shuddered while holding the child and fell to her knees.
Mother Chen said while having dinner at home that it is no secret to go to the temple to ask for amulets for the health of the children and the safety of the family.
The main purpose is to let Chen Jing grow up safely, and the others are just incidental.
