Lu Manman felt more and more relieved when she saw that Lu Feng could walk slowly without holding on to the wall. It seemed that Lu Feng had been recovering well these past few days with dietary therapy and Liu Neng's daily care.
"Dad, I have almost finished the food I bought last time I went to the city. I have to go to the city today. I left some food in the kitchen. If Liu Neng comes, you tell him to take care of you in return.
I won’t charge him for his meal today.”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city today."
I just mentioned Liu Neng, and now I heard Liu Neng’s voice.
Lu Manman looked at the door and saw Liu Neng pushing the door open and walking in: "Why can't I enter the city today?"
"Xu Guihua passed away. The village is saying that according to the custom of taking care of the village, whenever someone dies in the village, every household must send a representative to express condolences," Liu Neng said.
Lu Manman was stunned, Xu Guihua is dead? In his memory, the incident of Xu Guihua arguing with them to take advantage of them on the oxcart had not happened for a few days. When she went up the mountain to find Lu Feng, Xu Guihua was still sarcastic, this was so good... just
Gone?
etc.
She remembered someone saying that Xu Guihua would not be able to dance for long, so there was no need to take Xu Guihua seriously.
In an instant, Xu Guihua died...
Liu Neng saw that the color on Lu Manman's face changed from time to time: "Are you and Xu Guihua getting along well?"
Lu Manman shook his head decisively and looked at Liu Neng without saying much: "Since this is the custom in the village, I will go and take a look. I have put what you have for lunch in the kitchen, and my father will leave it to you."
"Don't worry."
Lu Manman finally arrived at Xu Guihua's house based on the memory of the original owner. The village was saying that it was customary for every household to send representatives to express condolences, but she didn't see anyone along the way.
Xu Guihua's house, the courtyard door is wide open.
Lu Manman thought there would be many people at Xu Guihua's house, but unexpectedly, Xu Guihua's house was very quiet. She stood at the door, knocked on the door, and no one responded, so she walked in.
There were obviously people in the yard, but no one answered her knock just now.
…
"Come empty-handed to express condolences?"
A mocking voice sounded.
Lu Manman paused slightly. Do you still need to bring something to express your condolences?
"There's nothing wrong with her coming to express condolences with nothing. Lu Feng won't live long. We'll just have to go there by then." The man Xu Guihua said nonchalantly. He looked at his mother: "Things sent by the folks.
You must put them away, because I will have to rely on these things when I see my wife in the future."
"I know, I know."
"..." Lu Manman opened his mouth. Before he could get angry at Xu Guihua's words, he was shocked by his next words. Xu Guihua had just died, and he was already thinking about marrying a new wife? Moreover, look carefully at their mother and son.
Two, they were not sad at all, especially Xu Guihua's mother-in-law, who still had a smile on her face.
this……
Lu Manman said he didn't understand.
"Brother Heng, wait for me...Brother Heng, I know that you actually gave your old house to the village for me. If you give your old house to me directly, you will inevitably get a bad rap, and I know it.
Brother Heng... I don’t even know how to repay you."
Lu Manman felt goosebumps starting to form on her arms. She opened her mouth and stood to the side. When she looked at the door, she saw Gu Heng and Lu Yueyue appearing one after another. With just one glance, she moved quickly
Opened my eyes.
Gu Heng saw Lu Manman as soon as he entered the door. He saw her glance at him and then looked away. Her expression was as usual, with no sign of fluctuation. He only felt that there was something in his heart that was not going up and down, but was about to break out of the cocoon.
The way it came out.
"Brother Heng, you're here." Mother-in-law Xu Guihua came up to her, took a white envelope from Gu Heng's hand, and immediately laughed: "With Brother Heng offering incense to my unsatisfactory wife, she will definitely be able to vote for her."
Good tire."
"Aunt Gu, please forgive me." Lu Yueyue hurriedly sent her a white envelope.
Mother-in-law Xu Guihua did not expect that Lu Yueyue would also give it. She immediately made a comparison and looked at Lu Manman with an even more mocking look: "We are two sisters, Yueyue understands human feelings, unlike some people who don't know the world's ways.
."
Lu Yueyue was stunned. What Granny Xu Guihua meant was that... Lu Manman didn't understand the ways of the world? These days, the comments she heard about Lu Manman were all praising Lu Manman. Now that someone criticized Lu Manman, she suddenly felt happy.
Quite a bit, she looked at Lu Manman, she was still as poor as ever: "Aunt Gu, don't say that, it's not easy for my sister."
"Who has it easy these days?" Mother-in-law Xu Guihua sneered and looked at Lu Manman holding Lu Yueyue's hand: "It's even more difficult for you, a girl, to be alone outside."
Wait... Lu Yueyue is alone... and her family is separated from Lu Feng. Her son is newly deceased. Is it possible for Lu Yueyue to be her daughter-in-law? It's just that Lu Yueyue doesn't have a dowry...
When Lu Yueyue heard this, she was immediately moved. Finally, someone knew how difficult it was for her. She looked at Gu Heng and saw that Gu Heng's eyes were on Lu Manman. She unconsciously squeezed Granny Xu Guihua's hand.
He raised his voice: "Brother Heng takes good care of me, so... I'm okay."
Mother-in-law Xu Guihua came to her senses. Gu Heng took good care of Lu Yueyue? Yes, Gu Heng let Lu Yueyue live in his old house. She looked at Lu Yueyue and then at Lu Manman, too. If she were Gu Heng, she would also choose
Lu Yueyue, after all, who wants to marry a woman who is in debt, and that woman also has a disabled father.
Lu Manman noticed that almost all the people in the yard were looking at her. She wanted to show that she didn't care, but the way Xu Guihua's mother-in-law looked at her really made her unhappy: "Xu Guihua just went, and she was the one closest to her."
No sadness can be seen on the faces of these people; I came here to express my condolences out of friendship with my fellow villagers, but you are not friendly either in your eyes or in your words, tsk... Sure enough, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds."
Mother-in-law Xu Guihua's face changed, and she retorted without thinking: "My daughter-in-law passed away, why am I not sad anymore? You didn't see me crying when I cried. Don't say that we are not sad."
"..."
Lu Manman was speechless. No one in the family was better at telling lies with open eyes. She didn't want to stay here any longer and it would affect her mood.
When Gu Heng saw Lu Manman was about to leave, he didn't even look at him. He paused slightly. When he reacted, he was already standing in front of Lu Manman, blocking her way.
Lu Manman was stunned. What did Gu Heng mean by blocking the road?
Seeing Gu Heng stop Lu Manman, Lu Yueyue's eyes flashed quickly: "Sister, Aunt Gu and Brother Gu must be sad when Xu Guihua dies. It's a bit unkind of you to say this."
Lu Manman frowned, there really was Lu Yueyue everywhere, it was really annoying.
"That's it! That's it! Lu Manman, you are so unkind, you are left empty-handed..."
Lu Manman didn't want to listen to what Xu Guihua's mother-in-law said. She only looked at the place where Xu Guihua's body was resting: "It is said that the human soul will not leave immediately after death. Tell me about the conversation you just had, did Xu Guihua hear it?"
Grandma Xu Guihua's body froze, and she forgot what she was going to say the moment she opened her mouth.
"People will return to their souls on the seventh day after death. That night is commonly known as the Night of Soul Resurrection. I don't know if Xu Guihua will talk to you about her feelings after death on that day." Lu Manman shook her head and saw Xu Guihua's mother-in-law.
Her face turned pale, she could understand, after all, Xu Guihua's mother-in-law would not be sad after Xu Guihua's death. What she wanted was that Xu Guihua's mother-in-law had a guilty conscience. But Xu Guihua's eyes were evasive, and he even looked panicked suddenly. Is this reaction too much?
Big?
Forget it, it's none of her business.
Lu Manman sighed and turned around to leave. Seeing that Gu Heng was still stopping her, she frowned and looked straight at Gu Heng: "Why, are you planning to accuse me like Lu Yueyue and the others?" This chapter has been completed!
