Chapter 460: Joy Meets Funeral
He Zhengming and his wife were taken to He Zhengting's house.
Looking at the clean farmyard, He Zhengming felt very envious.
"Brother, can you really let go of those things?" He Zhengming asked after sitting down.
He Zhengting glanced at him and smiled: "You can make money if you lose something, but if you really get into trouble about some things, it won't just be you and me who will be hurt."
He almost said it explicitly, what if the old lady was mad to death?
By then, even if you are right, you are wrong.
"Yes, I can earn it back, but I just can't get over it." He Zhengming picked up the water poured by his sister-in-law on the table and drank it in one gulp: "Why should I give in to Zhengjing in everything? Why didn't I get any land in Chulian? Why were all my fields assigned to Zhengjing's household?"
A series of questions like "why" completely confused He Zhengting.
At this time, Aunt Zhengting came over with some fruit snacks in her hand: "Because she is your mother." with a mocking look on her face.
"If you really want those things, I'm afraid you will have to pay more. Now the old lady's food, clothing, housing and transportation are all paid for by our two families. How is that?" She didn't want to say too much.
Everyone knows it very well.
"Sister-in-law, I thought you had no objection?" Zhengming's wife Xiaoqin covered her mouth and smiled.
"Don't give me that. No one is picked up. Isn't it hard to earn money?" He works in the wind and rain every day, and all the money he earns is hard-earned.
"Of course, sigh." When talking about money, everyone looked sad.
"Is everything okay at home lately?" He Zhengting asked.
Things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything more.
"It's okay. It's the New Year and the accounts on the construction site will be settled soon. I can have a good year then." He Zhengming works for a whole year, and only during the New Year will he get some money.
The rest will have to wait until the project is completed before settling the bill.
"Didn't you say last time that you were planning to renovate the house? Have you started construction yet?" He Zhengting was very concerned about the affairs of the second brother's family.
The two families were not close in the past, but there was not as much rift between them as there was between the Zhengjing family.
"The base has been dug, and it's almost the New Year, so I'll stop construction and resume next year."
Gradually, the two brothers began to talk about some family matters.
It’s like going back to childhood.
The two brothers discussed the matter together.
Aunt Zhengting also asked them to stay at home for lunch and go back in the afternoon.
He Zhengming was probably in a bad mood. At noon, he drank two more glasses with his big brother He Zhengting and passed out drunk on the table.
In this way, the couple stayed.
He Lao Da's family finally divided the house up, and the next day the two of them left the village after visiting the old lady.
There are four children in the family.
As soon as the second son's family left, He Zhengjing started to take action. Perhaps because he was afraid that the old lady could not bear it, he directly arranged the marriage with the girl.
He Anhua was like a puppet, at the mercy of his parents.
He took out two pieces of gold jewelry and married a daughter-in-law. Even though the woman was married for the second time, it was better that she had no children.
I heard that her ex-husband was infertile, so they divorced.
Hejia Village is now a well-known wealthy village in the town. I wonder how many people want to marry into it. He Anhua's wife is also a smart woman, and she has a clear plan.
After the date was set, the blessing seemed to be successful and the old lady's health became better day by day.
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, He Anhua's wedding was very lively.
Grandma He's family did not get involved in the whole process. They only went to receive the gifts on the wedding day, and only the old lady and He Anze went to the dinner.
Mei Xue and the children were left at home.
Mei Xue didn't want to go at first, but when her grandmother gave the order, she took the children to the back mountain.
There were not only the four of them, mother and son, in the villa in the back mountain. Aunt Xilian and Aunt Meilian were also there.
Aunt Zhengting had no choice; she had to go because she was the eldest aunt.
"Xiaoxue, what are we having for lunch today?" Everyone enjoyed the rare leisure time.
The temperature in the yard is unprecedentedly warm, like spring.
"Let's have hotpot at noon. The vegetables at the back door are ready to eat." Mei Xue opened the back door and replied while looking at the green vegetables on the mountain in the backyard.
"That's great. Let's use the fish that Xiaowei and his friends caught yesterday as the base of the pot." Aunt Xilian smiled and immediately made arrangements.
The three men were so strong that soon the pot was placed on the big table in the yard.
One spicy, one clear soup.
Compared to the excitement here, He Zhengjing's family is in trouble.
The reason is very simple. The old lady sits high in the hall, waiting for her granddaughter-in-law to kowtow to her.
Such a custom is very normal in the village, and the new bride is also a sensible one, so she knelt down.
After bowing her head and receiving the red envelope, the old lady was helped back to her house.
This is where the problem lies.
Because the old lady passed away soon after she returned to the house.
But she died with a smile on her face, which was a perfect ending.
A happy event turned into a funeral, and no matter how sensible the new daughter-in-law was, she could not accept this blow.
But now that things had come to this, she still changed her red clothes.
The crying sounds outside also reached her new house.
"Brother Anhua, you won't blame me, right?" The new daughter-in-law is named Sun Qingqing, and she is a good person.
No matter how upset or unhappy she was in her heart, the sadness on her face was just right.
"It's okay, don't worry, this has nothing to do with you." He Anhua understood what she meant.
"Grandma left after watching you come in." He Anhua was not very good at speaking, so he could only comfort her stiffly.
Sun Qingqing was speechless, but said, "Let's get out of here quickly." The wedding turned into a funeral, and she almost couldn't help but throw the old lady out.
Outside, every household sent people out, including those who were in charge of chores, those who took baths, and so on, and they were all arranged one by one.
Grandma He looked at the scene from red to white and sighed, "Let's go first." She called a few friends around her.
Grandma Meng and others were also very sad. The person was gone just like that. They thought she could live until the end of the New Year.
Fortunately, He Zhengjing and his family arranged the wedding before the New Year, otherwise Anhua would have to wait another three years before getting married.
"Let's go." The four of them stood up together. They hadn't even had lunch yet and the man was gone. They could only wait until Zheng Jing and his brothers invited them over.
When she left, Grandma He also took An Ze away.
"Go to the back mountain, there is nothing for you to do here." She didn't want her grandson to suffer this.
"Grandma, you guys go first. We are all from the same family, and some things are unavoidable. You have to give face to others instead of consideration." He Anze understood his grandma's thoughts, but he couldn't leave.
Grandma Meng and others became her friends: "Don't worry about it. Anze is so old now, he knows what's going on." After that, the three of them took Grandma He away.
