"Auntie, if we have the baby so late, won't our parents be unhappy?"
Also, if Ah Qing and I bring up the idea of separating the family now, will our parents agree?
I want to raise my younger siblings, but I can't let my in-laws help me raise them..."
She had barely finished speaking when Jiabao walked over and said:
"Big sister, I've grown up now, and I'm the eldest son in this family. Now that our parents are gone, I will take on the responsibility of this family."
"You and your brother-in-law should live your lives well; we don't need your help."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiaoya panicked. Just as she was about to say something, Chun Tao, whose eyes were also swollen shut, continued:
"Big sister, I also heard what Aunt Xiaoyu said just now."
Your in-laws are nice; we don't want to put you in a difficult position.
I know you're worried. My older brother, Jiawang, and I are here, but this is how I see it.
Since we can't properly bury our parents, we'll put that aside for now. We'll go back to Wangwanli and build them a cenotaph when we can finally go down the mountain.
The houses over there won't be rebuilt. Even if they are, we'll wait until we're older.
If you're worried about us right now, then we'll build houses in Chijia'ao, even just two thatched huts will do.
We're all in the same village, so you can see us anytime you want.
My older brother and I are all able-bodied, so even if we dig for wild vegetables to eat, we won't starve.
If all else fails, sister, you can help us out again. Don't treat us like ignorant children.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiaoya began to cry again, tears streaming down her face for her younger siblings who had been forced to grow up.
She felt a tightness in her chest, but she knew that things were for the best for now.
This put her at ease, and her younger siblings didn't feel like they were living under someone else's roof.
Seeing that the siblings were already discussing this, Chi Yu's previous listlessness vanished, and she stood up to say:
"Qiaoya, if you decide not to hold a funeral now, remember to burn some paper money by the crack on the seventh day after your death."
However, the clan chief had already ordered people to build a wooden frame in case anyone fell.
You must inform the clan chief before you go.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!"
Chi Yu didn't say anything more and left the Wang family's oilcloth shed directly.
When she came out, she saw Chi Qing standing not far away.
"Auntie!"
Chi Qing just went back, and his mother told him that his aunt had actually gone to persuade Qiaoya.
So at this moment, his eyes were filled with trepidation.
While eagerly awaiting good news, they were also afraid that things would still be ineffective.
Chi Yu understood his feelings and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Qiaoya has stopped crying."
Furthermore, the siblings have also discussed and agreed on what to do next.
After saying this, Chi Yu walked straight back.
She originally wanted to deliver something to Shen Zhaochen and the others, but then she realized that she was empty-handed and it wouldn't be appropriate to suddenly conjure up a basket of things.
Besides, it would be better to let Ah Kang or his elder brother and sister-in-law do this kind of thing.
The former is the successor to the clan chief, while the latter is the person who went down the mountain to invite them.
Whoever goes will have a more legitimate claim than her.
When Chi Yu returned home, she saw Chi Deng carrying a large basket covered with a cloth as he went out.
I was a little surprised when I ran into her at the door.
"Auntie, why are you back? Mother asked me to take this to you and tell Master Shen and the others."
As he spoke, he lifted the basket up a little.
“Send it to Akang! He is the future clan chief. Let him represent the village and extend his condolences to Master Shen’s family.”
