Chapter 377: Afterlife
"If grandma is really...really dying, can you find a way to make her wake up for a while, at least let her say her last words to us!"
Seeing this, Dr. Xia shook his head.
There was no method in her major course to wake up a patient with cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, so she was powerless and could only watch the other doctors.
I heard that there are some powerful acupuncture techniques that can actually bring people back to life.
It was a pity that the doctors present mainly treated injuries and sprains, and were not familiar with the exquisite acupuncture technique, so they all shook their heads.
Seeing this, the aunt and others cried even more sadly. They could only watch as Madam Gu's life slowly faded away.
That night, no one dared to leave or sleep.
He just watched quietly, because he didn't know what would happen to Old Madam Gu, so he tried every method he could, whether it was lighting the longevity lamp or boiling medicine to drink, but nothing worked.
At dawn on the second day, accompanied by the grief and wailing of the entire Gu family, Old Madam Gu, who had been with the Gu family for a lifetime, passed away.
When she left, all her children and grandchildren were there, and everyone was crying uncontrollably. However, no matter how loud they cried, it couldn't save Old Madam Gu. Soon, the entire Gu family, which was full of laughter and joy, became silent.
As several aunts and cousins were old, they all fell ill due to the sudden grief. Only the fourth aunt was stronger and together with Du Jingyi, she held up the family business.
Looking at her grandmother who was already dressed and whose body was gradually becoming stiff, Du Jingyi shed tears silently. When she was about to be put into the coffin, she walked over, took Madam Gu's already cold hand and spoke.
"Grandma, go with peace of mind. The general and I will take care of the family affairs. When you meet your grandfather, uncle, and cousins over there, it will be a good day for reunion."
After saying this, Madam Gu was moved into the coffin and moved to the mourning hall in the main hall.
Mrs. Xing also rushed over with her husband and son. Although there was nothing else she could do, she could still ask the servants to handle the funeral according to the rules.
So under her command, the entire mourning hall was arranged very properly, and Old Madam Gu's coffin was also a longevity coffin that had been prepared in early years, so it was not considered a rush.
Two days ago, the Gu family held a lively hundred-day banquet for their three newborn children. There were many guests coming and going, and everyone was smiling. But now, the Gu family’s red silks have not been removed yet, and they have been replaced with white banners. Everyone is wearing mourning clothes, and everyone looks sad.
The eldest aunt fell ill. The daughter-in-law who had the deepest relationship with Old Madam Gu fell ill. She was originally the deaf person in the Gu family, but now there is nothing she can do.
She specifically asked her daughter and son-in-law to pack up all of Zhongkui's belongings and send them to Du Jingyi of Qiwuyuan. When they arrived, Gu Xiaochun said with red eyes.
"Mother said that it would be better to choose an auspicious day to formally hand over these matters to my eldest sister-in-law, but now there is no other way. I can only let my eldest sister-in-law take on this burden."
Du Jingyi looked at the boxes of different sizes and said with a serious expression.
"How is my aunt? Is she okay?"
Gu Xiaochun shook his head and said.
"Not very well. Mother has always been healthy, but maybe this time she was too shocked, so all the minor illnesses and pains in the past came together and rushed towards her all at once. Before we came, she couldn't even get out of bed, she kept lying there, and she was crying all the time. I don't know how to comfort her. Sister-in-law, why is it so sudden?"
After saying this, Gu Xiaochun couldn't help but burst into tears. Su Erlang, who was standing beside her, supported her and patted her shoulders silently to give her strength.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi's nasal tears came back, but she had things to deal with at home, so she couldn't fall down. So after wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said with some unquestionable attitude.
"Eldest aunt is ill, and you are pregnant, so your second brother-in-law has to take good care of you. I, Fourth Aunt, and Auntie are all supporting the family affairs. The news has been sent to Sui'an City as fast as possible. I believe the general will be back soon, so you should rest well, understand?"
Su Erlang nodded. He was naturally sad too.
Old Madam Gu is also his great aunt, how can he not be sad.
But there are only three people in the first wife's yard. One of them is sick, and the other is pregnant. Her belly is bulging. If she can't hold on, won't the first wife's yard collapse as well?
So after thinking about this, he could only nod firmly, then supported Gu Xiaochun and went back to the yard to continue taking care of his aunt.
The second aunt and the third aunt were not idle at this moment either. They were both quiet and had good handwriting. Although they did not like to show off on weekdays, they still had to force themselves to write the invitations and distribute them so that relatives and friends at home could know about them and come to pay their respects.
Since the Gu family became prosperous again, there are more people around, so it took a while to finish writing.
Fourth Aunt brought people to the Gu family's ancestral tomb to survey the tomb, calculate the date, and do other things that could not be neglected, so Li Zhu followed her out to run errands.
Du Jingyi took a deep breath, picked up the Gu family's things, and squeezed them tightly. He was very sure in his heart that this family would never break up.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then he gave instructions to Yingtao and Shuxiu.
"Go find my parents."
"Yes! Young Madam."
Not long after, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du also walked in with sad looks on their faces, sighing repeatedly. Although they were not as shocked as the aunt and fell ill by the news, they had been together for nearly half a year and naturally felt heartbroken.
So, when she saw Du Jingyi, Mrs. Du stepped forward and said.
"I know you have a lot of things to do. Don't worry, our small yard is well tidied. We will take Tai Ge'er and his four brothers there later. It's quieter there. With us here, you won't have to worry about the children."
After all, she is my mother, and she said the key point right away.
Du Jingyi's eyes were red again, but she couldn't say anything more at this time, so she nodded and said only one sentence.
"Dad and Mom, thank you for your hard work."
"We as a family don't talk about this. By the way, is there any news about the second uncle and when will he be back?"
Mr. Du asked casually.
