In addition, when her uncle saw the mad look on Chen Ma's face, Qiao Xin was really afraid that he would not care anymore and would punch her and the child.
Even her father-in-law couldn't escape having a tooth knocked out, so wouldn't she, a weak woman, be able to escape the same?
So she was really trembling and didn't even dare to escape.
Chen Liang was a little embarrassed. He was sent to invite Xi Jiufeng so that he could explain to his uncle on the way to avoid embarrassment in the mourning hall.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't catch up with his uncle at all. He rushed straight here and Chen Liang ran all the way but couldn't catch up.
However, he still had to admit his mistake at this time. He couldn't hide the cause of the incident, so he knelt beside Qiao Xin and whispered the whole story.
However, Chen Liang was smart and tried to focus his words on the amulet for the whole family. Chen Jing was just the cause.
Xi Jiufeng listened indifferently without making any comment.
After Chen Liang finished his story, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The beating that Chen's father received just now is still fresh in everyone's mind. Who wouldn't be afraid that the uncle would jump up and give the young couple a loving slap on the face of the face?
But Xi Jiufeng did not get angry at all. He stared at Chen Jing in the cradle without saying a word.
Qiao Xin became even more frightened and hugged the child tightly in her arms.
Fortunately, her family also came to mourn the death of her in-laws. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law were all present, protecting her and persuading Xi Jiufeng.
The evil spirit finally closed the coffin lid for his sister without any unnecessary movements.
He walked past Chen Liang and his wife with a gloomy face. The heavy footsteps as he strode up the stairs made people tremble. They were afraid that he was going to continue beating Chen's father to vent his anger.
Everyone followed him upstairs. Father Chen had injuries on his face, but he was still entertaining the guests and didn't dare to take a break.
Seeing his brother-in-law coming in aggressively, his arm that was throwing yellow paper into the brazier was very stiff, and he didn't pay attention and threw a stack of yellow paper into the brazier.
This way the paper money cannot be burned through. According to legend, the part that cannot be burned through cannot be collected in the underground.
Stirring with branches will not work either, as some of the ash will float away and the paper money will be incomplete. Generally, you can only throw two or three pieces in and twist them together to burn them.
Under Xi Jiufeng's gaze, beads of sweat appeared on Chen's forehead, and he was so scared that he didn't know what to do.
Xiang Meimei quickly came to her father-in-law's rescue and called out to him, "Hello, uncle, could you please burn some incense for mother?"
With her big belly, she supported her waist with one hand and placed three incense sticks on the candle with the other hand to light them. After the flame went out, she handed them to Xi Jiufeng.
Faced with the three incense sticks handed to him right under his nose, Xi Jiufeng shifted his attention and stopped looking at Father Chen.
He respectfully burned incense for his sister. Although it was a small tablet, it represented the passing of a person.
After the incense was placed in the incense burner, Xi Jiufeng spoke in a hoarse voice: "I don't care whether the family is divided or not. I want to ask you two brothers, which family will my sister be worshipped by in the future?"
Chen Wei immediately stood up and said, "Uncle, I am the eldest son, so mother naturally follows me. The three festivals will definitely not be without mother's offerings."
In the county town, the eldest son inherits the family business, and correspondingly, the eldest son is also responsible for sacrifices and offerings. Interests are tied to responsibilities, which is very fair.
If Aunt Chen didn't have children at this moment, it would be perfectly reasonable for her uncle to take her dowry back.
Now that he has grandchildren, Xi Jiufeng certainly won't talk about dowry. Considering that Chen's father is still alive, dividing the family is impossible, so he raised a tricky issue.
"What about Tenth Sister's job problem?"
Chen Liang, who followed in, opened his mouth, but shut up when he saw the expressions of his uncle and father Chen.
Originally, Chen's mother wanted to let Chen Liang take over her job, but Chen's father had to retire due to a back injury, so Chen's mother has been doing it.
Now that the person has passed away unexpectedly, the question becomes who will take over.
This formal job pays more than 800 yuan.
Chen Wei looked at his brother, his face embarrassed. He hadn't considered this before: "This... Uncle, we haven't discussed it yet. How about you give me some advice tonight?"
It would be too embarrassing to fight for the position of biological mother in front of so many guests. It won’t be too late to discuss it after everyone leaves in the evening.
Xi Jiufeng ignored the expressions of Chen Liang and his wife and made the final decision: "You can give it to your family if you want. I will come to visit my sister during the Third Festival."
His threats were very strong. If you get Chen Ma's job, you have to do it well, otherwise he will get angry if you fail the inspection.
Real risks and opportunities exist side by side.
Chen Liang, who wanted to fight for it, shut up. He should not make his uncle angry and just live with his father honestly.
Mr. Chen has lived with his youngest son all year round, so it is inevitable that he favors Chen Liang more. However, thinking about the cause of his wife's death, he dare not refute his brother-in-law's words.
That’s settled.
Xiang Meimei didn't expect that she got her mother-in-law's job unexpectedly without fighting or competing.
When discussing the betrothal gift, the mother-in-law said some polite words, saying that it would be given to whoever was filial. She knew it was an excuse and had already prepared to give it to Chen Liang.
Unexpectedly, when my uncle arrived, he gave the job to Chen Wei without saying a word.
She looked at her uncle in surprise and said nothing.
In occasions like this, men discuss the affairs of their elders in a very formal manner. A daughter-in-law with a little emotional intelligence would not interrupt, for fear of being accused of having no manners.
Qiao Xin was not convinced. She overcame her fear of her uncle and said weakly, "My mother said before she died that this is for my family. We can't go against my mother-in-law's wishes."
