Chapter 201 Funeral Expenses
"Since this is the case, let's say it earlier, why hide it. Dad, I know you are a kind person. Since you care so much, go and have a look." Lin Huiru took a bite of the rice, but still didn't understand the old man. way of doing.
Lin Qing was not so much timid as he was kind-hearted and overly thoughtful. He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. Qi Hehua sighed, "Xiao Ru, mother still wants to borrow three liang of silver from you. People's hearts are very bad. If there is no burial fee for a shroud, this person will not be buried. Your uncle and your aunt are both in prison, so we have to deal with this matter." "How can there be such a reason, three taels of
silver , The coffin they made with their own hands won't work?" Lin Huiru frowned, and couldn't help but think of the money used to buy cemeteries and coffins in modern times.
If there is no money, the family can only find a piece of land to bury and insert a sign.
"There's nothing you can do about red and white things. For example, you just finished the business in the shop. If you are tight, forget it." Lin Qing sighed. Now that he died, he also forgot those sad things, and only remembered the time of upbringing. yes.
Lin Huiru put down her chopsticks, "I don't think I won't be able to take out three taels of silver, so if you go out noisy today, you can see the dead body?" She just received Wang Sangui's deposit today.
"No, the coffin has already been nailed. Our rule here is to stay in the mourning hall for three days. We didn't have it last night. The second girl and your grandfather stayed there. We just said goodbye and asked how much it would cost before we left. It's gone." Qi Hehua was also a little embarrassed, after all, such things as not being allowed to worship, but even asking for money, sounded absurd.
"Is three taels of silver enough? Don't we still have a banquet?" Lin Huiru also felt a little bit emotional in her heart. She never forgot Wang's shrew spirit. She is so vicious at an old age, and her fate is uncertain if she walks away .
After all, everyone is dead, and she doesn't want to care about it. She is also grateful that without the Wang family, there is no one to support her father.
Lin Qing shook his head, Wang's temperament has always been bad, and the previous incident was so violent, and there are not many close friends in their family, and the opening of the banquet is considered a joke, "You know the situation of our family Besides, Dad doesn't want to make a big deal, he thinks it's a waste of money."
Originally, Lin Huiru was a little sad, but after hearing this, she became young and a waste of money? When his wife died and was buried, Lao Lin thought it was a waste of money , What kind of brain circuit is this?
"It's fate that grandpa and grandma get together. After all, they are elders. Wouldn't it be unfilial for me to be at home? If someone says something bad behind their backs, it's hard to keep you sad. Let's go together the day after tomorrow." Lin Huiru always felt that there was some clue to Wang's death.
Before going to bed, Lin Huiru gave Qi He a little money to take care of it. She was going there just for a funeral, and she also wanted to see what happened to Lao Lintou.
This matter was hidden from Xu Ziqiao. With his temperament, Lin Huiru was afraid that he would be involved too, and it would not be worthwhile to delay another day's homework.
The reason why Lin Yaoyao was able to come back to keep her filial piety was also because the incident of buying murder was also planned by Ge Lan. The evidence was solid and Lin Yaoyao was still young, so the government released her.
What gave Lin Huiru the most headache was seeing that ineffective younger sister.
When the third day arrived, the Lin family got up early. Lin Huiru wore a plain skirt and no hair accessories, and went to the old house together.
This was originally the place where Lin Qing wanted to live after the separation of the family. There were only two rooms and a yard. After the house collapsed, Lin Dashan's workmanship in rebuilding it was also dilapidated. Their lives now are vastly different.
But for this, Lin Huiru just wants to say that she deserves it, if she knew this, why bother.
The old house is covered with white papers, the main house has become a mourning hall and white flowers are hung, Lao Lintou is sitting on the sidelines in coarse linen with a gloomy face and does not speak, while Lin Yaoyao kneels in front of the mourning hall in sackcloth and filial piety, after listening to the sound, she gets up and calls Say uncle and aunt.
Lin Huiru felt a little strange. Although Lin Yaoyao's face was sad, there was not a single trace of tears on her face. Also, since she had been kneeling and observing filial piety, there was not even a little soil on her knees. Isn't it too perfunctory? But Lin Yaoyao is not
straight Lin Huiru didn't say anything about the slippery little tree. Looking around, she didn't know anyone who came to help, and only the village head uncle who came from Shanshan looked a lot older.
"Uncle Village Chief." Lin Huiru greeted, and Qi Hehua came over to help her put on the filial piety clothes.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, village chief, to make this trip too." Lin Qing said with a look of disappointment on his face.
The village head saw that Lin Huiru's family had arrived, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. The incident only happened two months ago, and the two months seemed to have passed. Maybe we can still live a happy life.
"Hey, they are all from the same village. If you can come, I believe she can rest assured. If you don't have a feast, come to my house to eat something at night." The village chief said.
Qi Hehua shook her head, and said honestly, "This day is not suitable, I will definitely visit your home some other day." "That's fine, then do your
work first, and I'll say hello to your father." The village chief went after speaking Lao Lintou exchanged some pleasantries, but Lao Lintou didn't show any good looks.
Although not many people came, they brought a lot of things. Lin Yaoyao was responsible for bringing them into the house. Lin Huiru stood at a loss, so she turned around and helped carry the eggs.
Lin Yaoyao didn't say anything when she saw her coming to help, she was much quieter than before.
Lin Huiru walked into the mourning hall to put down her things. The solemn decoration made the room, which was already backed by the sun, extraordinarily gloomy. Lin Huiru looked at the pitch-black coffin, and for some reason, the corners of the coffin were so worn that the paint would come off.
And Qi Hehua said that the coffin has already been nailed,
so where are the nails? Lin Huiru looked at the coffin, and noticed some fine powder on the side of the coffin, but he didn't know what it was.
"How long are you going to stare at grandma's coffin?" Lin Yaoyao stared at Lin Huiru, and Lin Huiru was startled when she spoke suddenly.
Lin Huiru didn't bother to pay attention to her. She pretended to go out and glanced at the powder. It was white powder, and she couldn't tell what it was.
Originally, Lin Huiru wanted to see what it was next time, but there was nothing to move, so she had no choice but to stand outside with Qi Hehua.
Near noon, Qi Hehua cooked for those who came to the funeral to have some food. Lin Huiru was the closest to the door, and she could always hear rustling sounds when eating, which was very strange.
"Is there a mouse here?" Lin Huiru asked.
