"Husband, you are just a mother-in-law and a son-in-law. You don't need to wear such grand clothes in mourning."
After Qinglian accepted the mourning clothes from Liu Mingzhi, she realized that the mourning clothes her husband was going to wear were obviously beyond the standards that a son-in-law should wear.
She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly reminded Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi saw the confused look on the beautiful face, raised his hand and put it on the beautiful woman's cheek, and said with tenderness: "Lian'er, my mother only has two daughters, you and Sister Bai Shao, and Bai Shao has two daughters."
Sister Shao, she...
As her husband's son-in-law, he is no different from his son.
She is now traveling to the west of Hexi Province, so it is right that my husband, my son-in-law, should come and show his mourning for her."
Qinglian looked at Liu Mingzhi with an moved expression. She was silent for a moment with hesitant eyes, but in the end she gently shook her head.
"Husband, I know your good intentions and your filial piety.
However, I still can't let you dress like this. After all, we still have father and mother here!
If the two elders find out about this by then, it will be hard for me to explain to them.
Husband, please wait a moment, I will go immediately to change you into other mourning clothes."
As Qinglian spoke, she raised her feet and walked around Liu Mingzhi towards the outside of the room.
When Liu Mingzhi heard Qinglian's words, he shook his head helplessly, grabbed the beauty's wrist, and stopped her from leaving.
"Husband?"
"Lian'er, my husband has already decided on this matter before.
After my mother passed away yesterday, it turned out that my husband was preparing to tell our old man that I was going to die for her!
As a result, before my husband had time to speak, the old man mentioned this matter to my husband first.
The old man told her husband bluntly that her mother had no sons, so her son-in-law would take care of her mother's affairs.
The old man has said so, so my mother will definitely not have any objections.
Neither of them care about anything, so what else do you have to care about?"
After Qinglian listened to Liu Mingzhi's explanation, she asked with a pretty face, "Really? Really?"
"What are you thinking about? Would your husband lie to you about such an important matter?"
After listening to her husband's angry words, Qinglian's red and swollen eyes could not help but condense with traces of mist. Tears kept rolling in her eyes and were about to fall down her cheeks.
When Liu Mingzhi saw Qinglian looking like she was about to cry again, he immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped both sides of the beauty's eyes.
"Good Lian'er, don't cry, don't cry.
Do you still remember what your husband said to you? No matter what happens, your husband will be with you.
Believe me, as long as your husband is here, I will never let you suffer the slightest injustice.
unless"
Qinglian waited until her husband wiped the tears from her eyes, then nodded a few times while choking.
"Unless what?"
"Unless my husband dies, I can no longer protect you, nor can I protect all of you sisters."
“Bah, bah, bah, don’t talk nonsense.
If you say this again in the future, I will ignore you, and also make Sister Yun and the others ignore you at all.
Let’s not say such bad words. I will help you change into mourning clothes first.”
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, walked to Qinglian and opened his arms.
"Well, let's change."
Qinglian turned around and placed the mourning clothes in her hands on the dressing table, then leaned her waist and began to undress and untie Liu Mingzhi.
Qinglian took off her outer robe for Liu Mingzhi, picked up the mourning clothes on the table and put them on for her husband. At the same time, she lightly parted her lips and shouted.
"Husband."
"Human? What's wrong?"
"When you have time, help Lian'er thank her father and mother."
"Fool, we have been together as husband and wife for so many years, don't you understand the tempers of the old man and the young man?
If you pretend to know nothing about this matter and say nothing, the two elders will not care about anything.
If you really said something to the two of them, they would feel uncomfortable.
Then they will think that your daughter-in-law is having an affair with them."
"This... let's not talk about it then."
"That's right. Between a family, there's no such thing as thanks."
After a while, Qinglian carefully tied the white silk around Liu Mingzhi's waist.
"Husband, it's ready."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, looked at Qinglian and asked: "According to the rules of your Miao territory, who should we be the first to announce the funeral?"
"Go to the chief of the Bai Miao tribe first, and then the elders..."
"I know, let's go there."
"Yes, husband, please."
"Together, together.
By the way, Lian'er, who is the current patriarch in the village? Have I met your husband?"
"It's Brother Wuge. You met my husband many times back then, but I don't know if you still remember him."
"Ug, Ug."
Liu Mingzhi murmured to himself a few times, then narrowed his eyes and recalled.
In just a few breaths, a figure of a Miao man with a strong physique and a sturdy back appeared in front of his eyes.
"Remember, remember, remember for your husband.
After we became husband and wife, you left Jiangnan and returned to Miao territory. He was among the people who went to Chengdu Prefecture to borrow grain from the Liu family.
Later, when we visited my grandma several times, he also came forward and led a group of Miao men in the village to entertain us.
Oh~I thought of my husband.
I asked why the name Wushanli sounded so familiar. The strong young man who was next to Brother Uge at that time seemed to be named Wushanli.
My husband remembered that this young man from the mountains seems to be the boss of Brother Uge and his family."
Qinglian heard the eloquent words and nodded hurriedly.
"Yeah, yeah, that's him. Husband, you have a really good memory."
"You, please stop complimenting me. To be honest, Lian'er, if you don't remind me, my husband may not be able to remember Brother Wuge.
Fortunately, my husband asked you in advance.
Otherwise, when we meet Brother Wu Ge later, he will recognize my husband at once, but I will not recognize him as my husband.
Then I would be embarrassed as a husband."
"Then there's nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, husband, you haven't been to Miaojiang for many years. It's understandable that you can't think of someone at once.
Forget about you, husband, when I, Sister Yun and others returned to the village a few days ago, they were stunned for a long time when they saw Brother Wuge before they realized what he was doing."
"That's true. After not seeing each other for several years, and then suddenly seeing each other and not recognizing each other's identities, there is really nothing to be embarrassed about.
Lian'er, please briefly tell me some of the rules regarding funeral arrangements in Miao territory with my husband.
When the provincial husband saw Brother Uge and the others, his eyes darkened and he didn't know anything."
“Roughly speaking, there is no difference from ours, mainly some details are different from ours.
For some specific matters, I can just tell Brother Wuge and the others."
"Lian'er, my husband's inner thought is that after I know the rules of Miao territory, I will see if I can fight with Brother Wuge and the others.
To be continued...
