Xiaohua is just a child after all, and she is very frightened at this moment.
Seeing Xiaohua was frightened like this, Xu Lichang felt a little guilty. He lowered his voice and said, "Since she has gone up the mountain, forget it. When she comes back, I will ask her to come to me and explain everything properly.
Xiaohua, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Come to the village head uncle's house and he'll cook for you."
Xiaohua was worried that after Shu Jiaying returned, Village Chief Xu would make things difficult for her, so she insisted on staying home and waiting. She said politely, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief. Sister Jiaying prepared some dry food for me before going up the mountain. I can eat it if I'm hungry. You go back first. When Sister Jiaying comes back, I'll ask her to come to your house immediately to explain the situation to you."
“…”
Village Chief Xu paused for a moment. He knew that waiting at Xiaohua's house was not a solution, and he also had to rush back to deal with Grandma Xu's funeral.
Patting Xiaohua on the shoulder, Village Chief Xu instructed, "I'll go back first. Come to my house later and burn some incense for Grandma Xu to send her off for the last time."
Xiaohua would definitely not refuse such a request. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll definitely come over later."
"well……"
With a deep sigh, Village Chief Xu left Xiaohua's house. When he returned home, Feng Qiaoer had already changed Grandma Xu into funeral clothes.
When many villagers heard the news of Grandma Xu's death, they rushed to the home of Village Chief Xu, including Old Man Shu and his family.
When everyone saw Village Chief Xu walk into the house, all the villagers who had come to mourn stood up. They walked up to Village Chief Xu and comforted him, saying, "Mr. Village Chief, we all know about grandma's situation. Please accept our condolences."
"Yes, grandma passed away so suddenly. Everyone was caught off guard when they received the news. Sigh... who can be blamed? This is all grandma's own fate!"
Village Chief Xu knew that these people cared about him, and he nodded to everyone with gratitude.
"Thank you all for taking the time to come to my home to see my mother off. If my mother knew how much you all cared about her, I believe she would rest in peace."
"Mr. Village Head, why are you saying these polite words? We are all from the same village, we should help each other!
Villagers, do you think I am right?"
The person who stood up to speak was Old Man Shu's eldest son, Shu Guozhong. His words really touched the hearts of the villagers, so everyone present nodded to him.
It was rare for Shu Guozhong to see that everyone recognized him. He wanted to laugh triumphantly, but because everyone was there to attend the funeral, he could only hold back his smile.
A pair of eyes looked at Village Chief Xu sincerely.
Village Chief Xu was in no mood to pay attention to Shu Guozhong, and just then Feng Qiaoer came out of the room. She nodded slightly to Shu Guozhong and took out mourning clothes for Village Chief Xu to put on.
"Sir, the coffin bearers will be here soon. I've consulted a village 'fortune teller,' who has calculated my mother's horoscope and the time of birth. He says it's unsuitable for her body to remain in the grave for another night. Do you think we should follow his instructions and bury her sooner?"
"So soon?"
Hearing this arrangement, Village Chief Xu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he decided that since it was said by the 'master', it must be correct. Even though he was very reluctant, he had no choice but to agree: "Then listen to the 'master' and bury him today!"
