Chapter 422 Who to be buried with?
Although the old man didn't mention anyone by name, everyone knew who he was talking about.
He Zhuang lowered his head and held his wife's hand: "This is my choice, Grandpa. I am not smart, nor do I have ambitions. I just want to live a stable life."
He Yue was very dissatisfied with her brother's lack of ambition and rolled her eyes immediately.
After Mr. He gave everyone instructions, he motioned for everyone to leave first and asked the two ladies to stay and talk.
After leaving the ward, He Yue couldn't help but mock his brother: "You gave birth to a son who is not smart. Grandpa is right in judging people. Fortunately, Grandpa didn't choose you."
Knowing that his grandfather had arranged a path for him, He Yue was in high spirits.
He Zhuang ignored her and waited in the corner holding the child.
He Zhi lay in He Xu's arms, looked at the child in He Zhuang's arms, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to him, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to eat it?"
The child had no resistance to candy and took it immediately, then threw it into his mouth as if he was afraid his parents would find out.
He Zhi's eyes widened: "No, you didn't tear the paper."
The child had a runny nose and didn't know why. He had never eaten sweet chocolate candy. He usually only ate White Rabbit milk candy and small soft candies, which his parents fed him after tearing open the outer packaging.
Wen Yu saw this and embarrassedly asked her son to spit out the candy.
After tearing it open, a fresh chocolate fragrance wafted out, and the little guy's eyes lit up when he put it in his mouth.
"tasty."
He Zhi chuckled: "What's your name?"
The little guy was a little shy: "He Qiqi."
"My name is He Zhi, my nickname is Atang, I am your brother, you have to call me brother."
He Qiqi suddenly retracted her head into her father's neck and refused to call him brother.
When he first came to the capital, he listened to his father and called a little boy in the family "brother". The boy disliked his dirty hands and scolded him, saying that he was not his brother.
Although He Qiqi was young, he could understand the brother's disdain. He was very sad at the time. Having learned his lesson, he was afraid that he would also be disdainful if he called this little brother, so naturally he refused to call him that.
He Zhi didn't care. He leaned over his father's shoulder and talked to him in a low voice.
Shen Tang didn't notice that the two kids had already struck up a friendship.
Suddenly there was a noise coming from the door of the ward, and everyone looked out to hear what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tian opened the door from the front.
Old Mrs. Tian is ten years older than Old Mrs. Jin. She is not as healthy as her elder sister, but her three children are filial and always have someone to support them whenever they go out.
"Mom, what did you talk about in there?" Uncle He couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Tian said calmly, "It's nothing. I just advised your father not to take it too seriously."
The crowd didn't believe it and looked inside.
Old Mrs. Jin inside didn't look very happy. Her years of forbearance were revealed at this moment. Her eyes were red and she couldn't help but get angry at Old Mr. He.
"Okay, okay, if you have the guts, say it again in front of your grandchildren."
He Yang was confused: "Grandma, what happened?"
Mr. He asked everyone to leave because he didn't want people to object. However, he didn't expect that his two women, one indifferent and the other with red eyes, did everything to stop him.
His face turned cold: "Do I need to tell you where I'm buried?"
Where is he buried?
Question marks arose in everyone's mind.
The old man is highly respected, where can he be buried? Of course, his hometown!
Fallen leaves return to their roots, this is the tradition of their people.
Old Mrs. Jin said angrily, "Your grandfather said that if anything happens to him, we should bury him together with your second grandmother."
Old Mrs. Jin must like Old Mr. He, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to be someone else's second wife at such a young age.
Originally, she was the one who had held a wedding with Mr. He and should have been his classmate after his death.
But now, apart from giving birth to a few children and getting a fortune, she has gained nothing.
He Zheng is not around, He Qi and Zhang are not recognized by the He family, and He Xu is the only one left in the second house.
As soon as the old man said this, everyone looked at He Xu.
Chen Tang could guess what everyone was thinking without even looking at the hidden dissatisfaction and scrutiny.
I was just thinking that the old man really only loved Grandma He Xu. For the sake of this grandson, the old man must have left a lot of good things for them.
"Dad, you're going too far."
The first one to disagree was Uncle He. If the old man was buried with Second Mother, what would happen to his mother?
"Dad, my mom is your original wife, and she and you are from the same place. If you want to be buried together, you should bury her with my mom." Uncle He also said.
Mrs. Tian, on the other hand, was more open-minded: "I don't care about that. I don't care about what happened during life. If your father doesn't want to be buried with me, that's fine. I don't care anyway."
She is three years older than Mr. He, and she only has family affection but not love for him. Will the proper burial affect her enjoyment of life?
She just felt upset that the old man was arguing with them over a dead person.
"Mom, don't talk." Uncle He interrupted her.
Only by being buried together can they appear to be the true legitimate children of the original wife, while the other two wives are called concubines, who are naturally inferior to them.
"What do you mean by saying this? My mother also got married with three matchmakers and nine betrothals, and under the witness of the organization. Now is a new era, arranged marriages are no longer considered marriages. My mother should be buried with my father." Ning Suyue said.
At this moment, Mrs. Jin looked at her daughter-in-law with extremely gentle eyes.
That’s right, she should be buried with the old man. After all these years, is she still no better than a dead person?
He Zheng and Shen Tang looked at each other, and He Zhi also sat obediently in their arms and watched the show.
Anyway, their grandmother has passed away, so they don’t mind who the old man is buried with.
Mr. He's face was full of black lines: "Enough, it's none of your business who I am buried with. This is my own idea. Besides, I'm not dead yet, so it's not your turn to arrange my affairs after my death."
Old Mrs. Jin cried, "Old man, are you really so cruel? I suffered so much when I married you. I finally settled down, but you separated me from me. Over the years, I have never complained or regretted anything. But now, you let me build a grave by myself. I will never be at peace even in hell."
A trace of guilt flashed across Mr. He's face, but it quickly disappeared.
"I said it at the beginning, I married you only because my family needed a mistress. You had no objection back then. Now that I'm dying and want to be buried with He Zheng's mother, Tian Fen has no objection. How dare you have an objection here?"
Old Master He had a stern face and a murderous aura around him, which frightened Old Lady Jin so much that she could only shed tears silently but did not dare to refute.
If the old man really wanted to give her up, why would he separate her and the child just because Tian Fen returned?
If the old man really loved her, he would never let his daughter suffer and would protect that man's son!
Old Mrs. Jin hated Old Mr. He very much.
But she was a timid person and didn't dare to refute the old man in the past. Now that she had formed a habit, it was even less likely for her to refute him.
The eldest wife of the He family was still shouting that it was not possible.
He Yang also disagreed and tried to persuade the old man.
But the old man insisted on doing so, and no one could persuade him.
He asked everyone to leave with a headache: "He Xu Chen Tang, listen carefully, if anything happens to me, I will be buried with your grandmother. Anyone who dares to object will be severely punished. This matter ends here, I want to rest."
He Xu and Shen Tang looked at each other.
"yes."
After leaving the ward, everyone looked down upon He Xu and Chen Tang, and went home in anger.
Especially those in the eldest wife’s family, they don’t understand why their mother/grandmother doesn’t fight for it.
Old Mrs. Tian didn't care about the crowd. Before she left, she did not forget to persuade Old Mrs. Jin.
