Chapter 725

Han Lijuan asked with confidence, and her purpose was obvious - she was to ask for money and benefits from her "unconscienced" daughter.

Seeing that she was so shameless, Han Mingxiu was very angry and wanted to teach her a lesson. She stopped and replied: "Grandma, we have stopped talking for a long time, and I have long forgotten their address and phone number, but..."

She smiled and continued, "I remember that their family lives on Huaihai Road. Aunt Su's family is a prominent family. As long as you go there and inquire, you can find out where her family is... Otherwise, you and my uncle and father will go and look for it yourself..."

Of course, Aunt Su's family does not live on Huaihai Road. Moreover, Huaihai Road is a famous street in Shanghai. There are countless shops and houses on both sides. Even if you live there, you can't even find out.

Han Lijuan was very disappointed when she heard Han Mingxiu saying she didn't remember the address and phone number. She was about to blame Han Mingxiu, but later she heard that she had provided such an important clue and smiled again.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and discuss with your old uncle. If not, we'll go there. The daughter we finally raised can't be lost in vain..."

This is like she gave her daughter to Aunt Su for free and did not ask for money from Aunt Su.

Han Mingxiu smiled and echoed: "Yes, I should really go and look for it..."

After saying that, he laughed in his heart: Go, go, the travel expenses and expenses of going to Shanghai are enough for you couple’s salary for more than half a year. I can’t find it after I go there, so I’m in vain. I deserve to be angry to death...

"Oh, by the way, where is it from Shanghai? Look at my memory, it's always so bad. I forgot what you just said before, as soon as I tweaked my butt." Han Lijuan said.

Han Mingxiu said, "It's Huaihai Road, why don't you go find a pen and paper and I'll write it down for you."

"Yes, you should write it down, otherwise I should forget it again after looking back..." Han Lijuan strode around, trying to find a place where she could get paper and pen.

At this time, all the shops on the street were closed. Because today is the tenth day of the New Year, there are not many shops open in the first lunar month. Even if there is business during the day, the people's houses closed early before they could wait for the darkness and went home for the New Year to flee their relatives.

"Oh, you see, there is no place to find paper and pen, what can you do?" Han Lijuan said anxiously.

Han Mingxiu also looked around, finally picked up a branch on the ground, and wrote the three words "Huaihai Road" on the snow pile next to the curb.

"My aunt, I've written this address here. You can just copy it with paper and pen tomorrow morning. Anyway, no one moved this word for it at night."

"Okay, okay..." Han Lijuan looked at the three big words on the snow pile, as if she had seen her daughter and saw a bunch of money, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then I'll leave first, otherwise the hotel will be closed later and I will have no place to sleep." Han Mingxiu threw away the branches, patted Xuemozi in her hand, and walked away again.

This time, Han Lijuan did not stop her anymore, but only after she walked more than ten meters away, she gave in symbolically.

"Hey, you really can't go to my house to sleep?" Before Han Mingxiu could answer, Han Lijuan continued, "Okay, forget it if you don't go, then I'll leave first. You will go back to the village tomorrow. Don't tell others that you have seen me, so that they won't let their wives talk again..."

This is because others heard that she would not go back to attend the funeral after she knew that her mother had died, and she was afraid that others would despise her and scold her for being heartless.

It seems that Han Lijuan still knows how to be shameless, but she is just heartless.

Han Mingxiu ignored her and left without looking back.

After a while, Han Mingxiu found Hongqi Hotel. It was not bad and it was open for business.

Since the hotel is state-owned, it just happened to be working today on the 10th day of the New Year. Han Mingxiu was very glad that she asked the waiter for a cleaner single room and moved in.

The next morning, Han Mingxiu took out some food from the space, and after eating, he took the earliest bus back to Harahai.

After arriving at Halahai Town, she hired a donkey cart with a shed next to the station and drove to Sun Aotun in the donkey cart.

On the way back, she looked at the villages along the way and sighed secretly: The changes in her hometown are so great!

It has to be said that it is indeed a great feat for leaders to implement reform and opening up policies in China.

In just a few years, the economy across the country, both in cities and rural areas, has been developing rapidly, and the appearance of cities (rural areas) has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, the villages she passed by from the town to the village were basically adobe houses, and there were very few brick houses. But now, along the way, almost all the houses she saw were brick houses, and it took a long time to see a place in adobe houses.

It can be seen that farmers' lives are indeed much better than before, and their living standards have been greatly improved.

Seeing the great changes in her hometown, Han Mingxiu was both happy and nervous. She was both happy for the improvement of people's living standards and worried about the increasing materiality of the people in the future.

In the days to come, although people's living standards are getting better day by day, their spiritual world is getting worse day by day.

With the development of the economy, many people have left their original simple nature behind and become increasingly materialized, without faith, without bottom line, and only recognize money but not people. As long as they can make money, they are willing to do anything. Many people even regard money as the creed of life.

For money, gutter oil, poisonous rice, and toxic milk powder are constantly emerging, and various foods and counterfeit and shoddy products that are harmful to the human body are flying everywhere. Even vaccinations for children can become the channel for those greedy and unlimited people...

The world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not as good as ever. Although society has developed and the economy has taken off, many people's moral qualities have been lost in the theory that money is supreme.

I remember that her parents in her previous life often missed the simplicity and innocence of the 1960s and 1970s. Although they were poor at that time, they ate pure natural green healthy foods. They didn’t have to worry about buying low-quality fakes, and they didn’t have to worry about being slaughtered and knocked when they went out...

Of course, everything has two sides. The depravity of human nature may be the price that social development needs to be paid.

...

She thought about it all the way and unknowingly returned to Sun Aotun.

When she arrived at the gate, she paid the fare and went to knock on the door.

The door was opened by Xiaoli.

Seeing Han Mingxiu coming back, Xiaoli hugged her happily: "Auntie, you are back, it's so great..."

Han Mingxiu took Xiaoli's hand and spitted into the yard for a while, asking strangely:

"Where are people? Haven't your great-grandma moved here to live with you? Where is the coffin now? Where are the people?"

At this time, the yard was deserted and there was no one there, and it didn't look like a funeral.

Xiaoli said: "Everyone is at the grandma's house in the front yard. My uncle doesn't allow me to have a funeral for my grandma in our house, and I insist on having my grandma's own house. My father and my mother have no choice but to park my grandma in her own house, and everyone is there."

After hearing this, Han Mingxiu immediately understood what was going on.

Before, the old lady once said that if the elder sister and his wife asked him to support him, his house and the two acres of land would belong to the elder sister and his wife in the future.

When I was raising the old lady for the old lady, none of the aunts and uncles said anything and wanted to hide from the quiet side. But now the old lady was gone, and they wanted to do it and were eager to share the old lady's property.

If the old lady was asked to give it to her at her elder sister's house, it would prove that the old lady was raised by her elder sister's house, so wouldn't the property belong to her elder sister and her husband?

So, he made a fuss and asked the old lady to go home. It seems that his uncle and second aunt have a lot of ideas!

Before she could talk to Xiaoli, Han Mingxiu immediately turned around and went to her grandma's house.

At this time, there were not many people paying condolences at grandma's house. I don't know if it was because the old lady had a bad reputation during her lifetime, or because everyone was afraid of mourning in the first month of the year. In the huge yard, there were only the old uncle's family, the second aunt's family and the eldest sister's family.

In addition, there were a few trumpet craftsmen holding their guys, smoking cigarettes under the wall, and chatting about the mountains with their faces.

Han Mingxiu thought, no wonder why he didn't hear the funeral when he entered the village just now. It turned out that they were lazy here.

Seeing Han Mingxiu coming back, the eldest sister staggered forward, hugged her and started crying.

"Xiu'er, you're back. Grandma will be buried tomorrow. I'm afraid you won't come back and will not be able to catch up on the last journey to send her... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Seeing that the eldest sister's eyes were red in tears, her legs were probably numb, and she was staggering when she walked, Han Mingxiu felt a little embarrassed.

She is also a granddaughter, and her eldest sister cried like tears, but she couldn't even squeeze out a tear bump!

Han Mingxiu patted his elder sister's back and comforted her, "Sister, you have to be sad. Don't cry in the cold weather, your face will be bleak in a while."

The eldest sister wiped her tears and said, "I don't want to cry either, but when I think that my grandma has helped me take care of my children and guard the family for so many years, I have not had time to be filial to her, and she is gone. In my heart... wuwu... it feels uncomfortable..."

Han Mingxiu twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to argue with her elder sister's words.

Well, the eldest sister has a deep affection for the old lady. If you want to express the grief in her heart, let her express it.

Han Mingxiu picked up the cotton door curtain and entered the house, and the old lady's coffin was parked in the middle of the ground.

Seeing the old lady's coffin, Han Mingxiu took off her hat, knelt in front of the old lady's coffin, lit an incense stick for the old lady, and kowtowed three respectfully. She was the only one who could do her best to be a junior, and she could completely eliminate her grudges with the old lady!

When the old uncle and second aunt saw Han Mingxiu finishing their greetings, they called her and discussed with her:

"Xiu'er, you're back, and we're still thinking about discussing something with you."

"What's the matter?" Han Mingxiu understood what they wanted to say, but pretended not to know anything and asked on purpose.

The old uncle said: "Actually, there is nothing big about it. It's just the burial of your milk. Another thing is the burial of your milk. The house and land of your milk are gone. Whoever pays for the burial fee? And who should inherit her house and the two acres of ration fields must be settled quickly!"

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "I remember grandma had arranged her funeral in front of everyone in the village. Why, you guys have forgotten so quickly, uncle and second aunt?"

The old uncle's face turned slightly red and he said angrily, "It's either we forgot, or we don't have this to say? When people are gone, my son has to carry the spirit banner. Which son carries the spirit banner and which son inherits the family business? Now, the old lady's words conflict with this old rule. What do you think you should do!"

Compared with the second uncle, the old uncle is still more shameless and is not as greedy as the second uncle. Although he wants to get the old lady's house and land, he doesn't do it too well.

Han Mingxiu thought for a while and said, "This is easy to deal with. Since the son is carrying the spirit banner for the old lady according to the rules, you can resist it. You can inherit the old lady's house and land."

Uncle didn't expect Han Mingxiu to be so easy to talk to, and he didn't even bother with him, so he agreed to inherit the old lady's house and land.

Before he could laugh, Han Mingxiu continued, "Since you inherit my mother's house and land, my mother's funeral expenses and all the deep expenses will be paid by you. My mother lived a lifetime, and the funeral was held in a grand manner. I had to invite all the people in the village to cry, and the graves were also built bricks, and a marble tombstone was erected. Uncle, if you can do this, I can be the master of my elder sister and the couple, and give my mother's house and land to you to inherit, but if you can't, I'm sorry..."

"All the people in our village can testify to my elder sister and my elder brother-in-law. The old lady said that if they want to leave the house and land for the couple, they can only inherit the couple..."
