Huang Wanzhen lowered her head and responded hesitantly.
Zheng Ruqing sighed, "How could they all be gone so quickly? Your father was a few years younger than me. Life is truly unpredictable. Don't be too sad. Give your mother some comfort."
"When will the funeral be held?"
Huang Wanzhen wiped her eyes with a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice, tears streaming down her face, making it almost impossible to open her eyes. "The funeral is today. My mother said that if we can't celebrate the New Year, we won't have three days off."
Zheng Ruqing sighed, "Your grandfather and father are really worried about the family. They are worried that your mother will suffer, so they chose this day to leave."
"Wait a minute, I'll go see them off too."
At noon, when the Yang energy was at its strongest, two spirit girls left the Huang Mansion gate one after another. The first spirit girl was carried by 32 men, and she looked extraordinary. The sedan chair following behind was also carried by 16 men. While Huang Dong was crying, she whispered to Huang Wanzhen, "When I die, I will be satisfied if I can have eight men to carry my sedan chair."
Huang Wanzhen had been wiping her eyes with a ginger handkerchief for a long time. They were so swollen she could barely open them. Meanwhile, the people Xiao Shitou had called in were all carrying Bai Ling around to help with the mourning. She could save her throat and eyes by being in the middle. "Mom, are you telling me about your funeral arrangements? You're only forty, and you're still alive."
Huang Dongshi was anxious when she heard this. "Mother is always so kind to you. You even invited so many people to your grandfather's and father's funerals. When I died, you couldn't even arrange eight for me?"
Huang Wanzhen saw that she was anxious and nodded quickly to comfort her, "Arrange it, arrange it."
Mrs. Huang Dong felt that Huang Wanzhen was too perfunctory and it was obvious she was fake, which made her very angry. "Humph! My daughter is unreliable. It seems you have to let your sister give birth to a son."
Speaking of Huang Wanshu, Huang Wanzhen remembered that she was still tied up in Jinxiuyuan, "Mom, I think you should find me a new brother-in-law. Axiang is not a good man!" At first she thought he was an honest man, but unexpectedly he was very treacherous. First he sold Xiuqing, and then he was thinking about the Huang family's old house. It is a disaster for a poor person to become rich overnight.
"You think so too? Ever since your sister gave birth to Zhenzhen, I've been thinking about it. He doesn't seem like he can give birth to a son. It would be better to replace your sister with someone who is more suitable for giving birth to a son." Huang Dongshi's words woke Huang Wanzhen up from her sleepiness. "What?"
Huang Dongshi hurriedly said, "Be quiet! Don't let anyone hear."
Huang Wanzhen quickly lowered her head and continued to pretend to cry. What a sin! She really didn't expect to teach Huang Dongshi like this. It made her a little regretful. It seems that in the future, when teaching the elderly, she must do it according to her ability and never use too much force like this time.
After a long time, Huang Dongshi, Huang Wanzhen and others could not bear it anymore and got on the ox carts one after another. The funeral team walked out of the city, stopping and starting, and came to the Huang family's ancestral tomb in the south.
"Why don't you leave?" Huang Dong got off the ox cart, pushed aside the people in front and walked forward.
Huang Wanzhen followed her, but after a few steps, she was blocked by a small stone that came running over. "Boss, there are a lot of people in front holding sticks and blocking us from entering. Go and take a look."
Huang Wanzhen reacted immediately, her eyes widened. The Huang family members had not been showing any signs of facing her, and she had been feeling anxious. Now she could finally let it go.
"Mom, mom, come here, let's talk for a moment!" Huang Wanzhen took two quick steps and grabbed Huang Dongshi who was rushing forward.
"Don't pull me. Our family also has a share in this ancestral tomb. Why don't you let us in?" Mrs. Huang's eyes were slightly red, and her lips were slightly pursed, revealing a bit of vulnerability.
"Mom! What are you afraid of?" Huang Wanzhen knew that Mrs. Huang was afraid as soon as she saw her expression. "Why are you so cowardly? It's not something people can come up with. You can't let a living person die from holding their urine. Just think of a way."
It is said that people of the Republic of China understand people of the Republic of China. Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Shitou on the side hurriedly leaned over to Huang Wanzhen's ear and whispered a few words.
"Ah? Mother, are you afraid that the Huang family won't let you into the ancestral tomb in the future?" Huang Wanzhen hadn't expected this. "Do you absolutely have to enter the Huang family ancestral tomb?"
Huang Dongshi's face was filled with sorrow, tears streaming down her face. "I've been married into the Huang family for twenty years and have worked hard all my life, all so that I wouldn't be a wandering ghost after death and have someone to worship me. But they wouldn't even let your grandfather and father in, and they probably won't let me in in the future either."
Huang Wanzhen couldn't understand why these people attached so much importance to their affairs after death. Huang Dongshi was like this, and Huang Shuhuai was even worse. He would rather keep his savings to deal with his affairs after death than use it to buy medicine for himself and live a good life.
Just when Huang Wanzhen was at a loss, Xiao Shitou whispered a few words into her ear.
Huang Wanzhen, who had been listless, perked up again and asked, "Mom, how about we buy another plot for our ancestral grave?" Huang Wanzhen couldn't help but look at Xiao Shitou with admiration, "That's a good idea!"
Huang Wanzhen took Huang Dongshi's arm and said temptingly, "We can also open another family tree and put my grandfather first, and you and my father in the second row."
"Didn't you just say you'd find me a good brother-in-law? By then, when you have grandchildren to look after, what will you still need them for?!"
When Mrs. Huang heard Huang Wanzhen say this, she stopped crying and looked at Huang Wanzhen with blank eyes, "Is it okay?"
"Why not?" Huang Wanzhen asked back.
Huang Dongshi started to set herself up again, "What if, what if your sister is like me and dies without a son?"
Huang Wanzhen rolled her eyes and blurted out, "With me, there's strength in numbers. After I get divorced, I'll find someone else to give birth to your grandchildren..." No way! Giving birth in this era is too dangerous. She won't take any risks. She will never do anything that will hinder her from dying a natural death, including giving birth.
Seeing that Mrs. Huang Dong was still hesitant, Huang Wanzhen shook her vigorously and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be someone to support you. My sister and I can't give birth to a son, so let Zhenzhen give birth. I don't believe that our family will not have a boy in three generations."
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Mrs. Huang closed her eyes, clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and made the decision.
When Dong Yuzhuo and Zheng Ruqing came, Xiao Shitou had already gone to the nearby area to inquire about the middleman. The matter was a bit urgent, and Huang Wanzhen planned to buy a small piece of land first and bury Huang Shuhuai and Huang Zhengming first.
"Mother-in-law, what's going on? Aren't the people carrying the coffin members from the Huang family? Why won't those people with sticks in front be allowed in?" Zheng Ruqing said in confusion.
Dong Yuzhuo cursed the Huang family members for being so cruel, but it was no use. "We can't return this either. How about we pay them some money and plead with them?"
Huang Wanzhen curled her lips and said in a stern voice, "I don't want to be taken advantage of!"
Dong Yuzhuo glared at her and said, "The elders are talking, why are you, a junior, butting in?"
