Ordinary happy life

Chapter 98 Reasons

Lin Qin and Brother Yi saw that the funeral hall had been decorated and there was nothing they needed help with, so they asked the woman who also came to express condolences about Li Siniang. Li Siniang is only about 50 this year, which is considered relatively old in the countryside, but she is still in good health and will work in the fields with her when the farm is busy.

Nothing happened when it snowed and melted, but now that the ground is basically dry, something happened.

"Aunt Chun, how come Fourth Brother Li suddenly fell down when he was so good???" Lin Qin's sharp eyes saw an aunt who often came and went, and he pulled Brother Yi to her side and asked softly.

When Aunt Chun saw that it was Lin Qin and Brother Yi, she looked around without saying anything. When she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she said softly, "You don't know that Li Si's mother didn't fall down by herself but was pushed down by someone." "

Push it down, who is so cruel to do something to an old man!!!" Brother Yi was shocked by Aunt Chun's words and screamed out. Fortunately, he still remembered where he was, even if he screamed, he did it subconsciously. Lowered his voice.

Aunt Chun didn't expect Brother Yi to suddenly raise his voice. She was startled. She patted her chest, which was beating a little faster. She glared at Brother Yi angrily and said, "We are all fathers." How can you be so irritable? You don't even look at where this place is and you speak so loudly. Are you afraid that others won't notice you?" "

Aunt Chun, I was wrong. Wasn't I scared? You said Brother Li Si's motherfucker Normally, she is always kind and calm no matter what she says or does, but someone is so cruel to kill her." Brother Yi also knew that he was too reckless just now, and he was going to be punished if his elders found out he was yelling in the mourning hall. What he was training was that even the men in his family had to be spoken to a few words.

Aunt Chun also understood that Brother Yi didn't mean it just now. Even she was shocked when she first learned about it.

"Okay, keep quiet and listen to Auntie." Lin Qin saw that Brother Yi wanted to say something else, so he quickly grabbed him and whispered.

Upon seeing this, Brother Yi also silenced his voice and listened to Aunt Chun telling the whole story.

"Don't you think there's someone missing in the mourning hall???" Aunt Chun didn't say anything immediately, but motioned to Lin Qin and Brother Yi to take a look at the mourning hall.

Lin Qin and Brother Yi glanced at the mourning hall. Brother Yi didn't notice anyone was missing, but Lin Qin noticed something strange. A crazy thought arose in his heart, and he looked at Aunt Chun in disbelief.

Seeing that Lin Qin found out, Aunt Chun nodded angrily and sadly.

Seeing Aunt Chun nodding, Lin Qin took a step back in surprise. The truth of the matter was really shocking.

When Brother Yi saw Lin Qin suddenly taking a step back, he thought he was uncomfortable somewhere. He stepped forward to give him a hand and said, "Brother Qin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Who is missing in this mourning hall? I think all the relatives of the Li family are here."

"Missing Li Si's wife." Lin Qin looked at the mourning hall in disbelief and murmured to himself.

Brother Yi didn't react at first and looked at the mourning hall several times. Then he realized what he was doing and turned to look at Brother Yi in disbelief and said, "Who are you talking about, Li Si's wife??? She is Why is it possible that my daughter-in-law is not here?" Brother Yi had also seen Li Si's wife, and he looked carefully and saw that Li Si's wife was not there in the mourning hall. Li Si's mother was pushed down and disappeared, but Li Si's daughter-in-law was not there. Brother Yi finally understood something and looked in the direction of Aunt Chun in shock.

Aunt Chun nodded heavily and said angrily, "We all know that Li Si's wife was forced to marry Li Si, but Li Si is really good to his wife. We all thought that as time went by, she would She will be soft-hearted and live peacefully with Li Si. Who knows that instead of being soft-hearted, she will become more and more hard-hearted. Today she and Li Si's mother had a few quarrels for some unknown reason, and they started pushing and shoving. Finally, Li Si's mother She was pushed to the ground and hit a rock without death. The most outrageous thing was that when she saw Li Siniang knocking on the stone, she didn't call anyone to rescue her. Instead, she ran away. When Li Siniang's father came back and found out, everyone was It's already cold."

"This is really disrespectful of human relations. Li Siniang is her mother-in-law, isn't she afraid of thunder and crackling?" Brother Yi was so excited that his eyes turned red.

Although Lin Qin didn't say anything, it could be seen from his clenched hands and tense face that he was very excited and angry inside at this time.

"Does anyone know where she went???" Lin Qin asked. Even if Li Siniang's daughter-in-law did not cause Li Siniang's death, she must be severely punished for attacking her mother-in-law. Now that the other party has escaped, how can Li Siniang rest in peace if he is not captured?

"Everyone guessed that she ran back to her parents' home, but now Li Siniang's funeral has to be arranged by someone else, so we can only put the arrest aside for now and wait until the funeral is over." Aunt Chun said with a sigh.

"The deceased is the most important, and Li Siniang's funeral should indeed be the most important thing." Lin Qin nodded in agreement, and then asked with some confusion, "Aunt Chun, was Li Siniang killed by being pushed by Li Siniang's daughter-in-law? Was it someone who saw it or everyone saw it?" Speculations???" Although Lin Qin believed that everyone would not make groundless speculations, he was still a little confused.

"Actually, we don't have accurate evidence. It's just that someone saw Li Si's daughter-in-law and Li Siniang quarreling there before and pushing each other. Because Li's fourth daughter-in-law has a fierce personality and it's a household matter, she can only care so much. As a result, when he came back from work, he heard that Li Siniang had knocked on a stone and disappeared. In addition, Li Siniang's daughter-in-law was missing, and even her clothes and jewelry were gone. Everyone guessed that Li Siniang was pushed by Li Siniang's daughter-in-law. "Aunt Chun said.

After listening to Aunt Chun's words, Lin Qin understood that the person who killed Li Siniang must be Li Siniang's daughter-in-law, but he still said, "Although the most important thing now is Li Siniang's funeral, Li Siniang's daughter-in-law has not yet been officially convicted. Her natal family It's better to let someone notify you. If there is any misunderstanding, everyone can resolve it as soon as possible. If it is really Li Si's wife who did it, people should watch and prevent her from running away."

Aunt Chun After thinking about it, although she didn't think there would be any misunderstanding, she did need someone to keep an eye on her. What if Li Si's wife felt guilty and ran away because of fear. The more Aunt Chun thought about it, the more she felt that Lin Qin's words were right. She turned around and went into the house to find an old man from the Li clan who was in charge: "Uncle Li Qi, should someone be found at Li's fourth daughter-in-law's family to keep an eye on Li's fourth daughter-in-law in case she is afraid?" What should I do if I escape???"

"You're right, I'm going to find a few young people to keep an eye on." Li Qi stroked his snow-white beard and thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

"Second uncle, let me tell you over at Qingxi Village. Even if we send our descendants to keep an eye on it, we can't stay there for twelve hours. There will always be oversights. We have to let the people of Qingxi Village watch on their own." Li As soon as the village chief received the news, he hurried over and heard the conversation between Aunt Chun and Li Qi as soon as he entered the door.

Li Qi thought for a while and felt that what Village Chief Li said made sense. No matter how hard their people kept an eye on them, they couldn't keep an eye on them all the time, and the people of Qingxi Village couldn't let them stay in Qingxi Village at night.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Li Qi responded.

Village Chief Li nodded solemnly, then offered Li Siniang a stick of incense, comforted Li Siniang's father for a few words, and then left Li Siniang's house and walked to Qingxi Village.

Lin Qin and Brother Yi didn't stay at Li Si's house for long. Originally, they wanted to come over to help, but since there was nothing they could do to help, they might as well go home and discuss how much gift they should give.

Because of what happened to Li Siniang, Lin Qin and Brother Yi both had solemn expressions on their faces and remained silent when they returned.

When Lin Qin returned home, Zhang Dayong had already returned from watering the fields. He was a little surprised to see Lin Qin not at home. After all, Lin Qin basically stayed at home waiting for him after starting to go to the fields and rarely went out.

"Why is your face so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere???" Zhang Dayong saw Lin Qin's face was a little gloomy and thought that Lin Qin was feeling uncomfortable somewhere, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Brother Li Si's mother is gone, and it's very likely that he was pushed by his wife." Lin Qin said in a deep voice.

Hearing that Li Siniang was gone or was pushed away by Li Siniang's daughter-in-law, Zhang Dayong's face showed shock and anger.

"Brother Dayong, we don't have much contact with Fourth Brother Li on weekdays. Do you want to give this gift???" Lin Qin asked.

"They are all from the same village. As Li Siniang is an elder, she still needs to give it as a gift, but there is no need to give her an extra five or six yuan. It's just meaningful." Zhang Dayong thought for a while and said.

Gifts in the countryside basically don't need to be large, and most of them are meaningful. If it's a happy event, you can just send an egg and vegetables, and no one will say anything to you. There are some taboos when it comes to funerals. Usually copper coins are given and few people say goodbye. You don't need too many copper coins. If you have a good relationship, you can give me a dozen coins. If you are ordinary, you can give me a few coins.

Lin Qin nodded and said, "It's almost five or six cents. In the afternoon, go and deliver the gifts before you go to the field."

In the countryside, if there is a big event, the man in charge usually comes forward. Unless there is no man in the family, then the husband or the husband will take the initiative. The wife comes forward. If there is a man in the family but the husband or wife comes forward, others will laugh at him.

"Okay." Zhang Dayong responded.

Before going to the fields in the afternoon, Zhang Dayong first went to Li Si's house. When he saw Li Si, Zhang Dayong almost didn't recognize him. Obviously they are about the same age, but now even if Li Si is his father, some people recognize him. Li Si looks really bad at this time, he is unkempt and even has white hair sprouting from his head.

Fourth father Li's condition is not very good either, and he feels a little more sad than heartbroken.

Zhang Dayong didn't know what to say when he saw such a scene, or whatever he said was wrong. Zhang Dayong first offered three sticks of incense to Li Siniang, and then handed the gift money to the man who registered the gift money.

Zhang Dayong originally wanted to leave after giving the gift money, but he couldn't help but walked up to Li Si and said, "I know you are feeling sad now, but you have to remember that you still have a father to take care of. If you collapse What will you do if your father is dead? Can you bear the thought of your father still taking care of you at such an old age? And your mother, do you think your mother can feel at ease seeing you like this? Fourth brother, cheer up soon and let your aunt feel at ease. Let's go."

Zhang Dayong's words lit up Li Si's dim eyes again. Li Si looked at Zhang Dayong stupidly for a while, then suddenly fell to his knees and started crying.

Seeing Li Si's sad look, everyone present felt uncomfortable.
