The old man only divided the money in their account; he did not include her private money.
Zhao Maihua didn't expect that her mother had so much money. Is their family so rich?
"Mom, what kind of house are you building?"
"Oh, I feel uncomfortable living in the house where your father slept. I am too old to be cold. Let your brothers build me a few blue brick and tile houses, and use them as fire walls for your third brother's house." Old Sun continued proudly, "Oh, they will also buy me a servant, so I can live a leisurely and happy life for a few years."
Zhao Maihua: "Mom, you..."
"Your father is depressed and has worked hard for you all his life. I am not that stupid. Maihua, I will not care about anything in the future. I will go to the village to chat and gossip by myself. There will be hot meals when I go home. If I get bored of staying in the village, I will go to your eldest brother's house. He will take me to the county town where there are delicious food and fun things. How is it? I won't live a bad life in the future, right?"
Her mother is really open-minded and wants to live in the county town. Can brother agree?
"Mom, do they all agree?"
"Of course."
Zhao Maihua blinked and pulled her mother to act coquettishly, "Mom, Dad is too partial. Am I not your most beloved little girl?"
"He may have been too ill to remember you."
"Mom, my grandfather Ma family is having a hard time, and we often don't have enough to eat. You said my stomach is not responding, and I don't even have the money to go to the county town to see a doctor. Do you think it's possible..."
When the two of them went out together, Zhao Maihua had an extra tael of silver in her arms. She discovered that her mother now valued silver very much, so she talked a lot, cried and hugged her mother to get a tael of silver. Her mother hesitated for a long time and wanted to ask her for it back after giving it to her several times.
She saw her dilemma and knew it would be difficult to get money from her mother in the future. She didn't leave the village at her old age, so what was the point of keeping the money? If you want to eat something, just say it, and your third brother will give it to you?
I wasn't like this before! Why am I so stingy! She said she loved her the most, but when she came out just now, she didn't forget to tell her to change her cotton pants when she went out, so as not to make her wear them.
Zhao Maihua held the silver in her arms, and her heart felt cold.
On the seventh day, the room where the old man used to sleep is chosen. A long candle is lit in the room. Old Sun sits on the kang with a solemn look, and everyone else kneels on the ground and cries for mercy, showing their sincerity. Only then will the old man come back to see them.
The bedroom is not big, and with so many people kneeling it was packed so tightly that it was really not possible to sit down because there was no room.
When Zhao Xiaoyu's family was having dinner, everyone was well fed. They had already worn "kneeling masks" when going out in the morning, so this night was not so difficult for them.
At midnight, the sons told the long-lit lamp how much they missed their father and told him about the recent events at home. Then they stood up and the seventh day of mourning ended.
The old man didn't miss them and didn't come to see them.
Old Sun nodded her head, and Zhao Ruxin whispered, "Grandma, do you want to sleep here or come back to my room with me?" She wanted Old Sun to sleep with her. If nothing else, she was afraid of having nightmares, and having someone by her side would give her courage.
Old Sun opened her sleepy eyes and said, "It's over? So soon?"
"Well, do you want to come back to the room with me and get some sleep?"
"Hey!" He picked up his quilt, "Maihua, you can sleep with us tomorrow too, we can just squeeze together and it will be fine."
Zhao Ruxin also agreed. With so many people around, there would be a lot of positive energy, and all kinds of evil spirits would definitely not dare to come.
So, three women squeezed onto a small kang, with their backs pressed against each other. Old Sun and Zhao Ruxin felt completely safe and slept soundly.
Zhao Maihua didn't sleep for several hours in the second half of the night. My mother and niece didn't know what happened. After they fell asleep, they both hugged her arms and snuggled into her arms.
