Chapter 193: Genetically Powerful
Li was not in the yard. Zhulan saw members of the Li family standing in the yard. The man was the son of Li's eldest brother. He was wearing mourning clothes and had tear marks on his face. It meant there was a funeral in the family. Zhulan went to the main room and saw Li changed into mourning clothes as soon as she entered the room.
When Li saw her mother-in-law, she felt that she was much more reliable than her husband. She felt that she had found someone to rely on. She couldn't help but cry again, "Mother, wuwu, grandma passed away."
Zhulan especially admired the sensible old lady of the Li family. She didn't expect that she would actually die. She felt sad and patted Li on the back, "Don't cry yet. Your nephew is still waiting outside. You two should hurry over too!"
Li let go of her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was really thin. She must treat her mother-in-law better in the future. "Mom, we'll go over first."
Zhulan motioned to the eldest brother to help Li, and reminded him: "Be careful on the road."
Zhou Lao Da was also upset. His wife and grandmother were very nice to him. "Yeah."
Zhulan carried Yulu back to the house. Zhou Shuren already knew about the death. Zhulan patted Yulu who was afraid she would be frightened, and said to Zhou Shuren: "The Li family must be in chaos today. Let's go to see the old lady off tomorrow morning."
Zhou Shuren was surprised, "I thought you would be scared!"
After all, he was a dead person. I didn’t expect Zhulan to take the initiative to go over there.
Zhulan has also attended funerals before, "I haven't done anything wrong, so what am I afraid of?"
Apart from being afraid of snakes, she has always been very courageous and was not afraid even when she was working in the funeral home.
The eldest brother and his wife stayed at the Li family's home that night. The next morning, Zhulan and her husband took Mingyun and Mingteng there. Yulu was too young and stayed at home under the care of Zhao. Zhou Laoer drove a borrowed ox cart and saw the white shed from a long distance before they reached the Li family's home. The Li family members knelt down and cried early in the morning.
The Li family members all had loud voices, and their cries could be heard throughout the entire village. Zhulan got off the ox cart and looked at the Li family members kneeling on the ground. Everyone crying was heartbreaking, indeed sad. The old lady was the pillar of the Li family, and now that the pillar had fallen, the Li family was not only sad but also confused.
Li's father, Li Cong, welcomed Zhulan and Zhou Shuren in, saying as they walked in, "The funeral will be held soon."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Will it last for several days?"
Li, the relative, choked up and said, "Forget it. Today is a good day for burial. Besides, it's hot in the summer. Mother will suffer if she stays here. It's better to bury her early so that she can rest in peace."
His mother passed away, and even though it was a happy death, he was sad. Thinking of what his mother told him before she died, he wiped away his tears. His mother had a hard life. His father passed away early, and his mother raised him and his brothers. It was a pity that they were stupid. Even though they were given smart and wise names, they were still not smart. His mother did not enjoy the blessing when she was old. She finally had some money to buy land and her life was better, but his mother passed away again.
Zhou Shuren had never felt the love of a mother or a father, let alone understand it. He had not invested much emotion in being a stepfather, and the only thing he had felt was the taste of love. So when he saw his in-laws crying, he was very dry in his consolation, "My condolences, the old lady is enjoying her life."
Zhulan, "........"
It would be better for Zhou Shuren not to comfort her. The old lady is enjoying a good life after death, and she suffered when she was alive. Although the old lady was indeed exhausted when she was alive, Zhou Shuren shouldn't say it out loud. Look, the tears that his relative had just stopped are bursting out again.
Li Cong said with great self-blame: "My in-laws are right. It's all because of me that I'm useless. If I were useful, my mother wouldn't worry about me. But she's worried herself to death. I'm unfilial!"
Zhu Lan watched Zhou Shu Ren purse his lips in deep thought, as if he was about to speak, so Zhu Lan quickly interrupted, "My dear, the old lady must hope that you can cheer up, you can't let her down, the old lady is listening outside!"
Li's father wiped away his tears and said, "My mother-in-law is right. From now on, I will be the head of the family. I need to cheer up. My father-in-law and mother-in-law, please sit down for a while. I need to go and arrange the funeral."
Zhou Shuren said, "How can I help you, dear? Just tell me."
Li's father saw that his father-in-law was too small to carry the coffin. Although it would be a great honor for the Li family if he helped to carry the coffin, and his mother would be able to have a glorious life after death, he was afraid that he would harm his father-in-law's health. He couldn't take the responsibility. His mother had told him three times before she died that he should follow her father-in-law in the future. "No need. I'm very happy that he can come to burn incense."
Zhou Shuren, "......."
The men of the Li family are all simple-minded people, they can't hide their feelings in their eyes, he saw disgust!
Zhulan looked at Li's mother. Li Xu rushed over and saw that Zhulan and Zhou Shuren had no shame to be unhappy. She let out a sigh of relief and pushed her husband away like a shoo-in. "I'm waiting for you in front. Hurry up and go."
Dad Li hurried to the front yard, as he had a lot of things to arrange!
Li Xu waited for her husband to leave, then smiled dryly, "The head of the family is not very good at speaking, and my mother has passed away. If I say something wrong, please bear with me, my in-laws."
In the past, she didn't ask the silly daughter to bring things home, she just wanted her to live a good life. At first, she thought the silly daughter would be a waste of money, but unexpectedly, she married into the Zhou family and brought great benefits to the family. Look at the life the daughter is living now, she as a mother is jealous and hateful. It also proves the saying that stupid people have stupid blessings. The mother-in-law said that the daughter will be very blessed in the future, and asked them to get along well with their in-laws. She remembered it clearly.
Zhulan felt Li Xu's enthusiasm. During the year of getting along with the Li family, the Li family's mind was focused on the daughter-in-law they married into the family. She admired Mrs. Li's planning for her son and grandson, and was also amazed at the strong genes of the Li family. The smart daughter-in-law still did not change the Li family's genes, and the Li family's descendants were still honest and straightforward.
