Chapter 736

When the old uncle heard her words, his half smile froze.

How much does it cost to erect marble tombstones and invite the whole village to mourn?

If you don't say anything else, let's take the whole village's mourning as an example. In the first month of this year, who doesn't feel bad about the white business? If you want to invite everyone here, you have to have a big banquet to move people?

It's the first month of the year. No one is short of delicious food. If there are not three or five meat dishes in one table, who is willing to come?

Now there are more than 80 families in the village. If they all come to the banquet, they can't even eat the food and wine without 300 yuan.

The banquet cost 300 yuan, plus the brick tombstone and marble tombstone, plus the coffin shroud money, trumpeter money, the old lady's funeral inside and outside together, how can it be done for more than 400 yuan.

All of the old lady's belongings add up to 500 yuan. If he manages the funeral for the old lady according to the standard Han Mingxiu said, he will not make any money after the funeral. Isn't he working in vain?

Seeing that the old uncle was hesitating, Han Mingxiu said, "although according to the old rules, the son carries the spirit flag, Jiabao has changed the surname of the old Han family. It can be regarded as my father's grandson and the grandson of the old Han family. Before our village, there was a precedent for grandson to carry the spirit flag for my grandparents. If the old uncle is not willing to take care of me, it's OK for Jiabao to carry the spirit flag."

Han Er Gu saw that her brother hesitated and was a little anxious.

At the beginning, my younger brother came to her as a lobbyist and agreed to let her help him get the old lady's house and land. After that, he divided the old lady's house into two rooms for her family's strong son to get married.

At this moment, seeing Han Mingxiu give my brother a problem, I sincerely don't want my brother to inherit the old lady's house and land, so the house where the strong son got married is gone?

If there is no house, what can she give her son to marry his daughter-in-law?

Han Ergu was worried, so she couldn't help saying, "Xiaoxiu, let me see, there's no need for such a grand burial, right? We're all poor peasants of eight generations. It's out of line. If we're caught and said we're landlords, what can we do? "

By her such a reminder, the old uncle also woke up, repeatedly nodded: "that is, call me to say, let's go with the flow, don't go too far, so as not to cause trouble."

With a smile, Han Mingxiu said, "you don't have to worry about this. Now that the reform and opening up has been carried out, the national policy has been relaxed, and the leaders have said that some people are allowed to get rich first. It's our own family's business to bury the elderly, and the state won't take care of it."

"But it's not a crime to spend so much money on a funeral." Han Er Gu took a look at her brother and continued.

Han Mingxiu said: "Er Gu, how can we say that we can't do it? The money is my milk. She uses her inheritance for money to do her own affairs. She doesn't need to use our younger generation's money. It's all her own money. What's wrong? Is it hard for us to be the younger generation to deduct some money from the old people? "

"Look at you child, where are you going? Who wants to cut the old lady's money? I mean, our old lady's funeral should go with the crowd. If there is no old man in other people's family, we will do it. Don't make it too conspicuous. " Second aunt explained.

Han Mingxiu said sarcastically: "people's children are filial to their parents. Why don't you learn from them? Why do you want to learn from the simple funeral? Once upon a time, when I was alive, I didn't get along well with you. Don't you want to win back her reputation on her last important thing? Will you bear the reputation of breaking up with me all your life? "

This sentence suddenly hit the old uncle's heart.

The year before last, his youngest son married Wang Manchang's eldest daughter.

At that time, they didn't agree with the marriage because Lao Wang's family had a bad reputation. Besides, his niece Xiao cui'er married Lao Wang's family and knew that they were not good people.

However, it's not easy for the two of them to disagree. They can't stand it. Their son agrees himself!

People keep saying that now parents are not allowed to arrange marriage and they want to fall in love freely. If their parents interfere in their love, they will sue them

For the sake of Lao Wang's daughter, the family fought several battles. At last, the two of them failed to beat their son and reluctantly married Lao Wang's daughter.

Later, if they didn't expect, the daughter of Lao Wang's family was not very virtuous. She didn't move a spade or pick at home, and she always took advantage of the best.

I really can't see it anymore. When they said something about her, she said with a strong voice, "I'm not like you. At the beginning, you still broke off the relationship with your mother? It's called "the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. I'll learn from you."

Han laogada was the daughter-in-law to the straight Gen Luo, but there is no way to argue.

Yes, he has been fighting with his mother. Why should he expect his daughter-in-law to be filial?

In this way, the family's life has been awkward, and the daughter-in-law has been talking about their severance of relationship with their mother. She is not willing to be filial to them, and her son is gradually showing signs of being unfilial.

I believe that in a few years, their son, who was brought up by the two of them, will have to be led astray by this daughter-in-law, and will become a person of no respect and no filial piety.

There is only such a son in their family. In the future, they have to rely on this son to provide for the aged. How can they let his son become an unfilial person?

At this moment, hearing what Han Mingxiu said, he couldn't help but burst out in a daze

"OK, I'll send it to the old lady as you said! Xiao Xiu'er, don't worry. The old lady is not only your milk, but also my mother. She has worked hard all her life. Even if I break the pot and sell iron, I have to let her go... "

When he said this, what he thought was not his dead mother, but his son and daughter-in-law.

He hoped that his son and daughter-in-law would see what he had done for the old man and change their views on him. In the future, when he is old, his son and daughter-in-law can send him as well as his wife

Han Mingxiu was a little surprised to see that his uncle actually agreed. She thought that he must be reluctant to spend the money and have to talk with him for a long time!

However, since he agreed, Han Mingxiu didn't say anything, so he immediately told her husband.

The elder sister and her husband spent more than 3000 yuan on Wang mantan's business. Han Mingxiu has told them that they don't want the money. At this moment, Han Mingxiu asked them to give up a house and land worth only 500 yuan. Of course, they would not have two words to say.

So it was settled to send the old lady.

After the matter was settled, the old uncle and aunt went out to make a fuss. Han Mingxiu, her second aunt's family, her elder sister's husband and several other family members stayed in the house to watch for the old lady.

During this period, occasionally one or two villagers came to give the old lady some burning paper and kowtow with incense, which was regarded as seeing the old lady off. Han Mingxiu and they poured tea to entertain her

Towards noon, an unexpected person came

It's sun Yingmei with her red star.

Years no see, Yingmei seems to be a little fatter than before, people are more cheerful than before, and red star has now become a primary school student.

"Ah, Yingmei, why are you here?"

After a long separation, Han Mingxiu was surprised and held sun Yingmei's hand.

Sun Yingmei said with a bitter smile, "isn't it that my father died some time ago? Now my mother is ill again. Neither my sister-in-law nor my brother's daughter-in-law is willing to serve her. I have no choice but to come back to serve her for a few days."

At the beginning of winter, sun Maowen got an urgent illness. His daughter-in-law couldn't bear the blow and fell ill suddenly. The illness lasted for several months. At the beginning, the two daughters-in-law could take care of her without hesitation. But after a long time, they became impatient and began to prevaricate with each other. No one was willing to take care of her anymore.

Their men are not filial, a look at my mother is not useful, they do not want to take care of her.

When sun Maowen's daughter-in-law saw that her son and daughter-in-law could not count on each other, she could not help shouting every day. At last, she had no choice but to think of her daughter, who was most unpopular with her.
