Chapter 604 Turned into Ashes and Grew into Grass
"That's right! Who would have thought that the honest Jiang Cheng would actually dare to raise someone else's child?"
"It's all fate! Good people are blessed! If she hadn't dared to adopt another family's abandoned baby girl and raised her as her own child, how could so many wealthy people come to see her off today..."
A sigh.
Jiang Lianzhu and her friends buried Jiang Chengshi without making a big fuss or asking people to perform rituals or anything like that. Jiang Chengshi was a quiet and timid person and didn't like to be too ostentatious.
Burying her quietly and sending her off quietly like this would probably be more in line with her wishes.
These neighbors who were talking about this spontaneously followed Jiang Lianzhu and the others to worship their ancestors and watch the fun.
Jiang Lianzhu gave the gravekeeper some money and asked him to look after Jiang Cheng's grave more often. It was okay, so he could burn more paper money for Jiang Cheng and Madam Cheng...
The gravekeeper was hard of hearing, but he could read Jiang Lianzhu's lips and understood what she meant. He only accepted a small amount of silver as a symbolic payment to buy paper money for the deceased, and returned the rest to Jiang Lianzhu.
He said he didn't need it, and having too much money would attract people and cause trouble, so it was enough to have enough to spend.
No matter how much money you have, in time, it will be buried in the ground, turn into ashes, and grow into grass.
He is an old man who thinks things through.
After the worship, the rest of the things are much simpler.
After spending some money, they asked their neighbors to help them find Jiang Qingcai's body. It had rotted beyond recognition, with only bones left. Then, they buried it in a random place together with the ashes of Jiang Dalang and his brother.
It was definitely impossible to bury them next to Jiang Cheng. They wanted to bury them in a corner of the cemetery, but the gravekeeper refused, saying that Jiang Dalang and his brothers had committed serious crimes and were beheaded by the court. They were criminals and were not qualified to be buried in the town cemetery. Those buried here were all good citizens.
People like Jiang Dalang who deserve to go to the eighteen levels of the Avici Hell should become lonely ghosts.
Anyway, if they don't allow the burial, Jiang Lianzhu won't force it. They are just a bunch of bastards.
He just found someone in the mountains and buried the Jiang family, father and son.
She didn't plan to worship them, dig a grave for them and bury them, all because they were already dead.
When the chief clerk of Wuli Town heard that Jiang Lianzhu had come to their town, he hurried over to pay his respects.
Jiang Lianzhu was impatient with these social engagements, so it was Dabao who came to speak politely, which convinced her and made her unable to find any fault with him.
In his speech and conduct, he is even more thoughtful than Liao Jiu, and he is good at balancing the upper and lower levels. Jiang Lianzhu has not taught him these aspects. It is because this child loves reading and has a strong ability to learn and comprehend. In modern times, Jiang Lianzhu thinks that he will definitely be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. He is simply a genius.
I was born to be useful.
The chief clerk of Wuli Town sent Jiang Lianzhu and the others out of the town while chatting and laughing.
"Princess Fu'an, don't worry. We will often send people to worship and burn incense and offer sacrifices to your adoptive mother's grave. You are also welcome to come to our town to worship our ancestors at any time. Governor Liao and Prince Xiaoxiang are also welcome to visit us at any time..."
As they were talking, suddenly, they heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from the side of the street.
"You're a bitch who attracts bees and butterflies. You can't give birth to a slut. I asked you to do some work, but you kept nagging me. What's wrong? Don't you want to live with me? I spent several taels of silver to buy this slut. I'll beat you to death..."
A drunk old man was beating a skinny woman with a bamboo stick.
The woman was beaten until her body was covered with wounds. She dodged and gave way, saying, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it. Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."
Jiang Lianzhu felt that the voice sounded familiar and she couldn't help but stop.
Looking closely, is this a platinum fish?
Liao Jiu obviously recognized him and looked over.
At first glance, the platinum fish is completely unrecognizable.
Although she is clearly a teenager, she looks like a woman in her thirties. Her clothes are tattered, her hair is messy, she has bags under her eyes and swollen tear troughs, and her figure is not as plump as before. She has become a skinny woman.
Liao Jiu frowned and asked, "What's going on with this family?"
The chief clerk was also a little confused. A clever yamen runner beside him understood and replied, "Your Excellency, Governor, this woman is called Bai Jinyu. She used to be the concubine of Xiao Gao from the pancake shop. Later, she became ill and could not have children, so she was sold by the eldest wife to this old widower who had beaten his wife to death. This old widower likes to get drunk and beat his wife when he is drunk. However, this woman is not a good person either. She often flirts with men when she sees her... By the way, this woman is from Shili Town. Is she an acquaintance of yours, Governor and Princess? Do you want to go and mediate?"
Liao Jiu said coldly, "No need."
Jiang Lianzhu also withdrew her gaze. Such a person was not worthy of sympathy.
The platinum fish looked like it had been beaten badly, but it was still looking around, with a pitiful look on its face at the men watching the excitement nearby.
This is really a case of a dog always clinging to its good habits... what...
never mind.
As they continued walking, Bai Jinyu noticed them coming over and was a little shocked to see Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu!
Unbelievable!
A sense of timidity and self-abasement flashed through his mind.
Seeing Jiang Lianzhu and the others walking further and further away, Bai Jinyu knelt down and took a few steps, wanting to speak for help, but was blocked outside by the strict guards around them.
It's impossible to even get close.
"Doctor Jiang, no, Princess Fu'an... Help! Save me! I'm a platinum fish! I'm the little fish next door to you! Please save my life, I'm willing to be your slave..."
The sound was drowned out by the crowd.
"Brother Wang..." The voice was shrill.
"You bitch, who are you calling big brother again! I think you don't want to live anymore. You just think about stealing men all day long. I let you steal, I let you steal!! I can't stop beating you! Do you still want to ask Princess Fu'an to save you? You are the woman I bought back in a serious manner, not kidnapped. I saved your life, and you have food and drink when you follow me. What? Are you still not satisfied? You still want to enjoy the good life in the homes of rich people? You don't deserve it! A bitch who can't lay eggs can only be used by men. If you don't behave yourself, I will kill you, believe it or not..."
The ugly shouting and cursing were getting farther and farther away.
No one paid any attention.
After returning to Shili Town, Jiang Lianzhu and her friends went to the town government office on purpose. The chief clerk was flattered. He was also waiting for Jiang Lianzhu. He went to Wangjia Village several times and was told that Jiang Lianzhu and her friends were not there and had gone to the neighboring town to bury her mother. He wanted to go to the neighboring town to greet them but was afraid of causing trouble, so he returned to the town to wait.
Thinking that we had some friendship in the past, it was impossible for me not to come and see the princess and her family when they came to visit.
