Chapter 25 Dead excuses, unfilial younger generation
Uncle Wu's face softened slightly, he looked at me with a smile in his eyes, and said to the old couple in a loud voice, "I heard it, these are probably your mother's last words!"
Their mother...
I……
Could it be that what I just said was not mine, but...
I carefully turned my head and looked towards Granny Cai, who had a peaceful face but two coins hanging from her eyelids. I didn't know if it was because of my eyesight, but I saw the corners of Granny Cai's mouth that should have been stiff turned up slightly.
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, and when I looked again, everything was back to normal.
A series of strange and bizarre things happened towards the old couple. Almost all the relatives and people in the executive team outside understood what was going on. The drummers stopped playing and all focused their attention on the silent player.
On the body of an old lady crying with her mouth wide open.
Finally, Dana walked in tentatively, bent down and stood in front of the old man and said something, and the old man finally had to slap a big-eared melon seed in his wife's face.
The relatives outside, including the children and grandchildren of these two old men, were all in disbelief. Normally, the old man was very afraid of his wife and would not dare to complain loudly. When he was angry and couldn't bear it, he would just sit at the door and smoke and sigh.
How dare he dump his big mouth in front of so many people today.
"This slap is for my mother. I slap you for being such a cruel old woman. If you don't say anything today, my mother will not be able to rest in peace. I, I will fight with you. The worst I can do is give this home to you, and I will leave on my own. You love me."
Let’s do it!”
It seems that the old man must know something. After saying this, he lay on the ground like a child and cried loudly in front of Grandma Cai's coffin, "Mother, my son is useless, even a mother-in-law can suppress me."
If you can't help it, you will be wronged in your later years. If you don't feel relieved, just take me away. The children are grown up and they are all married, and I am old enough at my age! Mother..."
The old lady may be scared by this company that can't be closed. She starts to hoe in the direction of Uncle Wu and me, pointing at the open mouth that is open, ah ah, then nodded, and still nodded, and still nodded.
He gestured towards the coffin with his eyes.
Uncle Wu spoke softly, "Are you trying to admit your mistake?"
The old lady hummed a few times, and miraculously her mouth closed in the next second and she was able to speak.
She was so frightened that she did not dare to delay, fearing that Grandma Cai would deal with her again, so she hurriedly knelt down and confessed her sins while crying.
It turns out that Grandma Cai has been paralyzed in bed for the past few years. She can no longer help sew and mend belts and take care of the children like she used to. She also needs people to help her eat, drink and drink because she cannot go to the ground and cannot take care of herself.
Dirty bedding.
This daughter-in-law, who has been strong all her life, was okay at first, but later she started to feel resentful. She always said that other people were enjoying the blessings at this age, but her life was miserable and she had to serve her paralyzed mother-in-law. When feeding her food and water, she deliberately
I reduced the portion just to make Grandma Cai urinate less.
She even said some unpleasant things to her face, calling Grandma Cai an old woman, and she would torture her own children to death. She was even more harsh when changing clothes.
Grandma Cai, who was almost 100 years old, had to suffer the consequences of being a child for three years before she took this breath. It is better to say that she died of old age, but it is better to say that she was malnourished for a long time, drained her last energy, and passed away with regret.
Listening to what the old lady said, the old man couldn't stop crying.
Uncle Wu and I were both a little angry. The saying that there was no filial son before the long-term illness was truly confirmed by this family. No wonder Grandma Cai kept her mouth shut when she died. She had an injustice to say.
The expressions on the faces of the filial sons and grandsons outside who were listening to this changed, and they couldn't tell what the smell was. Some villagers who came to offer incense pointed at the old woman, saying she was unfilial and so on.
Uncle Wu took me without staying any longer, and took the makeup box out of the coffin. The man who was in charge of the wedding ceremony presented the white envelope that he had prepared long ago, "Brother Wu, thanks for your coming, we can't do it later."
I’m not sure what to do, it’s just a joke, thank you very much.”
"Grandma Cai is so breathless that she has not swallowed it. Such a body is easy to be deceived. You'd better seal the coffin first. Besides, the old man hasn't eaten enough. Don't fall into the hell realm. Please give him more food. Take care of him.
After a while, you are good at handling things inside, so I won’t get involved too much."
"Yes, yes, thank you Brother Wu for your advice. Walk slowly."
Taking advantage of the darkness, we were walking on the way home, and Uncle Wu rarely opened up his chatterbox. Even when he arrived at my old house, he did not leave in a hurry, but walked in with me, presumably to help me clear up my doubts.
A teacher is the one who solves doubts.
In my heart, I actually respected Uncle Wu as my teacher, not to mention that he had saved my life before and was even more prepared to help me survive the catastrophe on my eighteenth birthday. He can be regarded as my benefactor.
"Sanman, come on, come on, you did a good job today, it's remarkable, let's divide the money first!"
After saying that, he took out the white envelope given by the man, opened it directly, and counted the amount of one thousand and eleven yuan.
In just a few hours, I was able to make such a profit. It really made me sigh. This money is really easy to make!
Originally, I didn’t want to accept this money. Today, I didn’t do anything except handing over things. I feel guilty about holding this money. “Uncle Wu, I don’t want this. I want to divide it up later when I can help.”
.”
"Just take it when I tell you to. What's the ink mark? You helped me a lot today. You forgot. If it hadn't been for your words, you thought you could be easily frightened by the little commotion that happened just a few days after Granny Cai's death."
Her daughter-in-law told the truth, so you are a great hero, but the money still costs half of each person."
Each person was given five one-hundred-dollar bills and five one-cent bills. What was even more surprising was that Uncle Wu took out a fifty-cent steel plate from his pocket and placed it on my pile of money. It was absolutely perfect.
Half for each person, a dime is not a lot.
"Put it away, don't waste it. It's not a joke to pay it back to that family for your parents. It will save your parents the trouble of having to deal with those non-human things in the next life because of this debt."
I understand this. It means that if the debt is not paid off in this life, the creditor and the debtor will still have entanglements with each other in the next life or the life after that. Sooner or later, the debt will be paid off.
I nodded honestly and put the money in the desk drawer. Even if I didn't eat or drink, I still had to pay back the money my parents spent on medical treatment.
"Uncle Wu, I don't know why I said those words in the funeral shed today. I was originally afraid that you were talking about me. Before you went in, you told me not to talk too much, but I couldn't help it!"
Uncle Wu laughed happily, put away the money and waved his hand, "This sentence does not count. This sentence is not that you are talkative, but it is a good thing to say!"
