C92

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, his corpse had already started to smell, and his face was already completely unrecognizable, his body also had multiple fractures, so Xia Manjiang was no longer able to get up, quietly lying inside the coffin.

Lee's's eyes were red and swollen. She used a towel to help wipe Xia Manjiang's face, took out a new set of clothes that she had secretly made for him previously, and put it on for him. She hated him for it, but after he died, she felt her heart emptied, leaving behind nothing.

"Now you're crying so hard, what did you do long ago?" Xia Chunhua stood in front of the coffin and counted the Lee's s.

Xia Li walked over angrily and glared at Xia Chunhua. The latter shut his mouth in embarrassment, took two steps back and covered it with a handkerchief, and started bawling.

"Young Master Sun, if you redress the grievances of my dead man, will you have any hope of suing Rich Man Yang?" Lee's held onto the coffin, crying until his eyes were red.

"Aunt, he accidentally fell into a cliff to avoid Rich Man Yang and the others. This kind of accidental death will not be accepted by the officials, if you want to redress his grievances, it will be difficult." Sun Chun spoke the truth.

The Lee's went silent, and took one last look at Xia Manjiang, and helplessly watched as the coffin was carried away by the hired people towards the Tianshui Village. The others followed closely behind, and together, sent Xia Manjiang's coffin into the ancestors' grave of Tianshui Village and Xia Clan.

Xia Li did not shed a single tear during the entire process. She wore a plain white dress, and her hair was adorned with a hundred flowers. Her expression was solemn.

For this funeral, other than the Lee's and his mother, there was no one else.

The group returned to the backyard of the hospital in Red River Town. Madame Li barely managed to pack a room for Xia Chunhua and her daughter to stay in. There was only a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and a simple dressing table.

"Sister-in-law, we came all the way here to let you see your man for the last time and bury him properly. Now that he's just left, are you going to abuse his sister?"

Xia Chunhua's face was stern as he interrogated Lee's.

"Elder sister, I'll go and change your bedding and furniture tomorrow. Tonight is too rushed, and both you and Xi'er will spend the night here." Lee's said apologetically.

Xia Chunhua's straight face snorted but did not say a word.

"Auntie, my mother and I are hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Jin Xi'er asked softly.

"Yes, yes. I'll bring it to you right away." Lee's said as he was about to go to the kitchen, but Xia Li stopped him.

"Since Aunty and Cousin do not like this room, you can go to the town's inn. There are people there who deliver food at regular intervals, and the rooms are spacious and clean."

"Girl, are you trying to chase us away? Yet, we came back from so far away. Is this how you treat your relatives? " Xia Chunhua said with an expression of disbelief and anger.

"Cousin, isn't your heart too vicious? The sky is about to turn dark, where can we go?" Jin Xi'er could not help but retaliate to Xia Li.

"Xia Li, let them stay, it isn't easy for the mother and daughter pair." The Lee's's heart was soft-hearted, adding on to that, he felt guilty towards Xia Manjiang's sudden death, and had thoughts of compensating Xia Chunhua.

Xia Li looked at the overbearing mother and daughter in front of him, and once again thought of the fact that Xia Chunjiang had just been buried today. It was not suitable for them to argue, especially when the other party was his sister and niece.

In the end, Xia Chunhua took Jin Xi'er and swaggered into a room. Lee's was relieved, and she secretly went over to her daughter Xia Li, feeling a little uneasy.

Inside the room, Xia Chunhua looked at the bedding on the bed in disgust. Smelling the humidity in the room, he walked to the window, pushed it open, and let the air circulate. Only then did he feel better.

Jin Xi'er pushed Xia Chunhua's arm and muttered: "Mother, look at Xia Li's intentions. He won't be staying for more than a few days, we're about to be chased away by them, what should we do?"

"I really like that young master. Can't you stay for a few more days? Didn't you say that you would vent your anger on uncle? If we could stay, we'd have a chance to make a comeback!"

"Don't worry, daughter. Who is your mother? The Lee's is a soft bun, and Xia Li is a tough nut to crack. We just need to focus on dealing with him in the future, and that will be enough for the young masters to see how you do your best. Mother will do her best to create an opportunity for you to get along with her. "

Xia Chunhua caressed Jin Xi'er's smiling face and sighed in satisfaction, "With my daughter's beauty, how can you be afraid of being inferior to that stinking girl?"

"Mom, you made me feel embarrassed." Jin Xi'er was praised to the point of being extremely proud, he walked to the dressing table and carefully observed his appearance, as he had long forgotten that the mother and daughter had come today to mourn.

When Jin Xi'er thought of the expensive clothes that Xia Li was wearing, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He tugged at Xia Chunhua's sleeves and asked: "Mother, can I wear clothes that are as good as Xia Li's? The heavens are truly unfair! " As she spoke, she slapped the dressing table to vent the anger in her heart.

"My daughter, please bear with it. As long as we can get the pain-relieving prescription from her hands, are you afraid we won't be able to get the people and things you want?" Xia Chunhua grinned, and laughed sinisterly.

Hearing Xia Chunhua's words, Jin Xi'er also laughed, the mother and daughter pair's smile was reflected in the bronze mirror, looking extremely sinister and terrifying.

Lee's sat in his room, looking at the branches swaying in the wind outside his window, he couldn't help but pull back his neck, hugging Xia Qing who was beside him tightly, he pulled up his blanket and hid under it, feeling uneasy outside.

During the night, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a bolt of lightning flew by, lighting up the entire courtyard. Following a light knock on the door, Xia Li suddenly sat up on his bed, and looked at the figure outside, and asked softly.

"Who is it!"

"It's me." Sun Chun's low and deep voice seemed to possess the ability to pacify people's hearts. Xia Li's wildly frantic heart instantly quieted down, she ran out, opened the door, and threw herself into Sun Chun's embrace.

"I'm so scared that that person will come to find me at night. I've never been nice to him."

Xia Li's body trembled as he hugged onto Sun Chun's neck tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Sun Chun held Xia Li horizontally, locked the door, and placed her on the bed.

Xia Li nodded, then obediently laid down and leaned into his embrace, listening to the sound of thunder outside. In the darkness, he held her hands tightly, and the two of them snuggled together.

The sound of the wind grew louder and louder as it lapped against the windows, leaving shadows outside. The rain fell mercilessly onto the ground, creating pitter-patter sounds. Everyone was having a restless night. It could be said that they were all lost in their own thoughts.

In the dark night, at the side of the room, the door was opened softly. A black figure ran to the outside of Xia Li's room and paced back and forth, knocking on the door from time to time, causing Xia Li, who had just fallen asleep, to be shocked awake.

The moment Xia Li saw the figure outside, he instinctively yelled out, but was instantly covered by Sun Chun's mouth. He said softly, "Don't make a sound."

Sun Chun quietly got down from the bed and walked to the door. Looking at the black shadow floating outside, he suddenly opened the door and slapped it.

"Ugh!" Following a painful cry, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded in the dark night.

Xia Li heard the noise coming from the door, lit up the candles in the room, and walked to the door with the candles in hand. Under the light of the candles, Jin Xi'er wet stood up and started complaining to Sun Chun.

"Young Master Sun, I came over to visit you guys out of good intentions. You actually treat me like this!"

"Miss Xia, you didn't even knock on the door. Did you sneak around in the middle of the night to visit your friends?" Sun Chun asked coldly.

"I …" Jin Xi'er was rendered speechless by Sun Chun. She whimpered as she sat on the ground and cried. The rain fell on her body mercilessly and she was frozen to the point that she sneezed a few times.

"My daughter, my poor daughter, how can you sit on the ground? You'll get sick!" Xia Chunhua rushed into the rain using the umbrella and helped Jin Xi'er up. He glanced at Sun Chun and Xia Li who were standing at the entrance and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"You guys are really ruthless. You saw my daughter fall into the rain, but you didn't help her!"

"Aunt, my cousin was bewitched just now. We don't dare to disturb her for now, so why don't you take her back to her room and take care of her?" Xia Li said mysteriously, scaring Xia Chunhua so much that he shivered.

"Don't speak nonsense, I don't believe your lies!" Xia Chunhua was anxious to protect her. His hands were trembling as he pulled the crying Jin Xi'er back to his room.

After the sound of thunder rang out, a cry of alarm came from inside the room. Sun Chun and Xia Li looked at each other, a complicated look flashing across their eyes.

"If you want to act like a ghost, be careful that you might be scared to death!" Xia Li's courage grew by a lot now, and no matter how loud the rain was, when her rationality gradually returned, she would be able to handle it calmly.

"These two women are approaching menacingly. I'm afraid your good days will be interrupted once again." Sun Chun looked at the rain in the night sky and reminded Xia Li.

"I'm not afraid. I will chase anyone who comes to disturb our good days. When it's late at night, we'll go back and rest."

Xia Li advised as he looked at Sun Chun who had a heavy load on his mind.

"Alright, but you still have to be careful these days." Sun Chun reminded Xia Li.

"I will." Xia Li nodded and followed the two into the room.

She was afraid that Xia Manjiang would really come and find her. After all, they had just met a while ago, and she had said some ruthless words to him, she did not expect that they were already separated by heaven, and that everything had happened in such an unbelievable manner, without even being mentally prepared.

She was now really a widow.

Daybreak came, and the clear sky was illuminated by the water in the courtyard. Clouds hung high in the sky, indicating that the weather was good today.

However, a loud noise broke the silence in the morning as Xia Chunhua ran into the courtyard and started making noise.

Lee's did not sleep that night. His eyes were red and swollen, staring at a pair of bear head eyes as he opened his room.

Both Xia Li and Sun Chun were woken up at the same time, and the whole courtyard became lively all of a sudden.

Seeing that she was here, Xia Chunhua sat on the ground and cried: "My daughter is sick, who wants to take a look!"

"Elder sister, how about letting Xia Li take a look at her? She knows medicine." Lee's went forward to help Xia Chunhua up, but she pushed him away.

"Then hurry up and let your daughter see what she's doing here!"

Xia Li looked at Xia Chunhua who was pushing the Lee's, and became angry, reminding her: "Aunt, I will trouble you to treat my mother with some respect, if not, I will not treat your daughter's illness."
