The message was sent to the capital, but it would take at least a day for Meng Kuo's cousin to arrive.
So the most important thing now is to bury Aunt Li!
After all, the coffin can't stay there forever!
"Young master, the magistrate has sent someone to Plum Blossom Village."
Someone outside said.
It must be because of the previous explosion.
"Okay, I'm coming right now." Huo Chenyi patted Chi Tang's little head and said seriously, "Tangtang, don't worry, your brother Chenyi will definitely catch the person who is hiding in the shadows and trying to harm you!"
"Uh-huh!"
Chi Tang nodded vigorously.
Only after Huo Chenyi left did the Chi family begin to speak.
Aunt Chi held her daughter tightly, her heart aching at the sight of Tangtang's drowsy and listless state.
What I felt most was helplessness!
They were heartbroken for their daughter, but there was nothing they could do!
"Sigh, I finally understand. Someone wants to harm our daughter, which is why they've targeted the Li family. They've ruined Li Mingrong and his wife, and even cost my eldest son's mother-in-law her life..."
Old Man Chi is almost driven to despair.
How can these in-laws meet again?
Even the most reasonable person couldn't possibly not feel any hatred, right?
In-laws turned enemies!
This...this!
Most importantly, after leaving their hometown, they only had this one relative to visit besides the Yang family.
Now things are really messed up. The Yang family was too embarrassed to go because of Old Madam Yang's matter, and now the Li family is...
Chi Dashan pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.
In this situation, it's perfectly normal for the father-in-law and brother-in-law to complain or even hate...
“Dashan, your father and I will go and talk to your father-in-law in person. Even if he hates us, we can’t keep it from him.”
Aunt Chi's face looked bitter.
It was bad luck for them, but for the Li family, wasn't it an even more undeserved disaster?
Who could have imagined this would happen?
Perhaps they shouldn't have taken the Li family with them when they fled in the first place.
In this way, many things will not happen.
Perhaps even the old lady of the Li family is still alive...
Aunt Chi shook her head.
You can't think about this too much; the more you think about it, the more painful it will become.
“Well, but I think we should wait until after my mother-in-law is buried,” Chi Dashan said.
The most important thing now is to get the funeral done.
To let people rest in peace.
"Yes, you go quickly. Old man, you go too, I'll stay here with our daughter."
Aunt Chi now dares not leave her daughter's side for even a moment.
Although she couldn't do much, at least she could stay by her daughter's side and let her daughter know that she was always there for her.
"good."
Chi Tang fell asleep in no time. Aunt Chi was so frightened that she called Jiu Li to check on her. Only after finding that she had fallen asleep normally did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Funerals are always somber and exhausting.
Just as they were about to carry the coffin into the burial ground, a torrential downpour suddenly began.
The people carrying the coffin walked faster and faster, and their steps became heavier and heavier!
When they arrived at the cemetery, someone actually tripped and fell!
The coffin was about to topple over as it lost its balance!
Chi Dashan ran over quickly and managed to block it!
In the end, all was well and the coffin was safely buried in the cemetery.
"Mother! Mother!"
"Waaaaah, Grandma!"
The Li family, Sister-in-law Chi, and Xiao Suotou Changsheng, who had rushed over, all wept bitterly, wailing and screaming in front of the grave, but there was no response.
From then on, they lost their mother.
Sister-in-law Chi was heartbroken and cried until her voice was hoarse.
Handfuls of soil were scattered... The coffin was gradually buried completely, until it was no longer visible.
The blank tombstone stands there, waiting for Old Man Li to die in the future, and then he will be buried here and a tombstone will be erected together.
The crowd, dressed in mourning clothes, kept kowtowing, wailing incessantly.
Sister-in-law Chi cried so much that her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Now, we just wait for Meng Kuo's cousin to arrive, to break Li Mingrong's spell, and then...
——
Qingshui Town.
Wulang stared listlessly at the empty table, pouting, and said, "Fourth Brother, it's just the two of us, so boring."
Silang was also eating listlessly, muttering to himself, "Just wait, when Grandpa and Grandma come back, I'll definitely tell Uncle all about it!"
My uncle actually ran away!
Hearing that an academy in the next town was organizing a trip to Jiangnan, Xiao Wu was worried that his parents would disagree, so he took matters into his own hands and ran away while his parents were not together.
Goro nodded in agreement: "I want to complain too! Uncle is really too big for his britches. Isn't he afraid something might happen to the two of us kids at home?"
"That's right, that's right."
Madam Tian found it amusing. "Alright, you two hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, wash up and go to bed."
How is it so unreliable?
Before Xiao Wu left, didn't he ask her to stay at home and take care of these two?
"Um."
"Madam Tian, what's wrong with Laifu these past few days? I've seen him in the workshop, always lost in thought, he seems quite absent-minded."
Si Lang stared at Tian Niangzi and asked.
Laifu is Tian Niangzi's son and was once an apprentice under Chi Sihai.
After Chi Sihai left, Laifu learned from the other craftsmen brought by the Meng family.
It was going well at first, but starting two months ago, I became a bit distracted and got scolded several times.
But every time he was scolded, Laifu would always be indignant and argue back.
Because Laifu was Chi Sihai's apprentice, everyone gave the Chi family face and didn't make a big deal out of it.
