Chapter 726: Seeing Sun Yingmei Again
When the old uncle heard her words, his smile, which had been halfway through, froze.
For brick-building graves, marble tombstones must be erected, and all the people in the village must be invited to cry... How much does it cost?
If you don’t say anything else, just take the matter of inviting all the villages to cry. This is the first month of the year, who doesn’t bother to be idle? If you want to invite everyone, you can’t hold a big banquet before you can invite them?
It is the first month of the year now, and no one has a shortage of delicious food. If there are three or five meat dishes on the table, who would be happy to come?
There are more than 80 families in the village who come to have a banquet and can’t even eat wine and vegetables without 300 yuan.
The banquet cost 300 yuan, plus the brick tombstone and marble tombstone, plus the coffin and shroud money, the trumpet craftsman's money, and the old lady's funeral was added together, and it would cost more than 400 yuan to handle it.
The old lady's entire family belongings are worth 500 yuan. If he holds a funeral for the old lady according to the standards Han Mingxiu said, he will basically not make any money after the funeral. Then wouldn't he be in vain?
Seeing that the old uncle was hesitating, Han Mingxiu said again: "Although according to the old rules, my son carries the spirit banner, Jiabao has changed his surname to his father's grandson and is also considered the descendant of the old Han family. Isn't there a precedent for grandchildren to carry the spirit banner for grandparents in our village? If my uncle is unwilling to bear the funeral of my mother, then let Jiabao carry the spirit banner."
When Han Ergu saw that his younger brother was hesitant, he became a little anxious.
When my younger brother asked her to be a lobbyist, he agreed to ask her to help him get the old lady's house and land, and then divided the old lady's house into two for her family's Qiangzi to get married.
At this moment, seeing Han Mingxiu posed a problem for his brother, and sincerity did not want him to inherit the old lady's house and land, wouldn't Qiangzi's marriage be wasted?
If there is no house, why should she get a wife for her son?
Han Ergu was anxious. When he was anxious, he couldn't help but speak, "Xiaoxiu, tell me to see, there is no need to be buried with such a big fanfare, right? We are all eight generations of poor peasants, and the mage is too outrageous. What if someone catches us and say we are landlords and wealthy?"
After being reminded by her, the old uncle woke up as if he was in a dream and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, tell me, let's just follow the crowd. Don't be too out of order to avoid causing trouble."
Han Mingxiu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this. Now that we have reformed and opened up, the country's policies have been relaxed, and the leaders have said that allowing some people to get rich first. It is our own family's business to bury the elderly, and the country will not care about it."
"But, it's a bit unreasonable to spend so much money to hold a funeral!" Han Ergu glanced at her brother and continued.
Han Mingxiu said: "Second aunt, how can you say that you can't make a mistake? The money is my nanny. She exchanged her inheritance for money to do her own funerals, and she doesn't have to use a penny for our younger generations. It's all her own money. What can't make a mistake? Could it be that we, the younger generation, have to deduct some money from the elderly?"
"Look at your kid, where did you chat with me? Who wants to deduct the old lady's money? I mean, our old lady's funeral should follow the crowd. What should we do if the elderly in other people are gone? Don't be too conspicuous." The second aunt defended.
Han Mingxiu said sarcastically: "Their children are still filial to their parents. Why don't you learn from them? Why do you want to learn from them simply when they hold funerals? When my mother was alive, she didn't get along well with you. Don't you want to make a reputation for her last business? You have to bear the reputation of severing relations with me for the rest of your life?"
This sentence hit my uncle's heart all of a sudden.
Two years ago, his youngest son got married and married the eldest daughter of Wang Mancang, Wazitun, Sijia.
At that time, the couple did not agree with the marriage because the old Wang family had a bad reputation. In addition, his niece Xiao Cuier had married the old Wang family and knew that this family was not a good person.
However, the couple did not agree and could not resist their son's agreement!
People keep saying that parents are not allowed to arrange marriages now and should fall in love freely. If parents interfere with their relationship, they will sue them...
For the daughter of the old Wang family, the family fought several battles. In the end, the couple failed to persuade their son and reluctantly married the daughter of the old Wang family.
Later, as they expected, the daughter of the Wang family was very unvirtuous. She didn't tell her pickaxe at home, but she always grabbed the tips and acted like a good person and took advantage of her.
I really couldn't stand it anymore. When they said a few words to her, she said with striking words: "I'm not right. Did you break up with me at the beginning? This is called the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. I'm following the same thing, I learned from you!"
Han Laogada was criticized by his daughter-in-law, but he had no way to argue.
Yes, he has been stinking with his mother, why should he expect his daughter-in-law to be filial?
In this way, the family life was always awkward, and the daughter-in-law kept talking about the fact that they had severed their relationship with my mother, and refused to be filial to them, and even her son gradually showed signs of unfiliality.
I believe that in a few years, the son they raised with great difficulty would be taken away by this wife and completely become unkind and unfilial.
There is only one son in their family, and they will still have to rely on this son to support themselves in the future. How can they let their son become an unfilial person?
At this moment, when he heard Han Mingxiu say this, he couldn't help but be enlightened and blurted out:
"Okay, I'll send the old lady as you said! Xiao Xiu'er, don't worry, the old lady is not only your breasts, but also my mother. She has worked hard all her life. Even if I sell the pot, I have to let her leave with glory..."
When he said this, what he thought was not his dead mother, but his son and daughter-in-law.
He hopes that his son and daughter-in-law can see what he has done for the old man and can change his views. In the future, when he is old, his son and daughter-in-law can also send him with gloriousness just like he sends the old woman...
Han Mingxiu was a little surprised to see that the old uncle actually agreed. She thought that the old uncle would definitely not be willing to spend the money and had to hang out with her for a long time!
However, since he agreed, Han Mingxiu did not fight and immediately said to his elder sister and brother-in-law.
The eldest sister and brother-in-law spent more than 3,000 yuan on Han Mingxiu because of the murder of Wang Mantun. Han Mingxiu had already told them that he would not want the money. At this moment, Han Mingxiu asked them to give up the house and land worth only 500 yuan in total, and of course they would not have anything to say.
So, the matter of sending the old lady was decided.
After the matter was settled, the old uncle and the old aunt went out to arrange a plan. Han Mingxiu, his second aunt's family, his elder sister and his husband, etc., stayed in the house to keep the old lady's spirits.
During this period, occasionally one or two villagers came over to give the old lady some burning paper and put in incense sticks to kowtow. It was considered to be a farewell to the old lady. Han Mingxiu and the others poured tea to entertain the other person...
It was almost noon, and an unexpected person came...
The one who came was Sun Yingmei and brought her Red Star.
After not seeing each other for many years, Yingmei seems to be fatter than before, and she is cheerful than before, and Hongxing is now a primary school student.
"Oh, Yingmei, why are you here?"
After a long separation, Han Mingxiu was very surprised and held Sun Yingmei's hand and stopped letting go.
Sun Yingmei smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this my father gone some time ago? My mother is sick again now. My sister-in-law and my brother and wife are unwilling to serve her. There is no way, so I have to come back to serve her for a few days."
When winter first began, Sun Maowen got an acute illness and disappeared. His wife couldn't stand the blow and fell ill all of a sudden. The disease lasted for several months. The two daughters-in-law could take care of her for one or two at the beginning, but after a long time, they became impatient and began to shirk each other's blame, and no one was happy to take care of the old lady anymore.
Their men are not filial either. When they see that my mother is useless, they don’t want to pay attention to her anymore.
When Sun Maowen's wife saw that her son and daughter-in-law could not count on her, she really said that she was not able to respond to her. She shouted that she was not effective. In the end, she had no choice but to remember her daughter who was the least popular with her.
