Although Jiang Dazhuang was an unknown little man whose only notable feature was his relatively long life, his funeral caused a sensation in Cao County and he became the object of envy of many people.

“We haven’t decided on these things yet?”

The Jiang family's children had cried so much that they had no more tears left. Today was the day their grandfather was to be buried, and many people came before daybreak to deliver gifts.

The gifts these people gave were all kinds of things. They just dropped off the things and left without saying which company they were from. The gentleman who was doing the accounts was almost crying with anger.

What gave the Jiang family the most headache was that the coffin shop in Cao County sent a lot of paper people, paper horses, and paper houses, and even incense, candles, and paper money were sent here as if they were free.

"Could it be that His Highness decided it?"

Jiang Wenming's lips trembled when he saw the white flags. The royal family paid too much attention to pomp and circumstance. The key point was that they had no money to pay the shopkeeper!

The Jiang family had a large number of people and usually relied on the grocery store to maintain their daily lives. Any savings of one or two hundred taels were saved by every penny. As a result, the money was gone before their grandfather was even buried.

"Boss, can we pay you for these things later?"

Jiang Wenchang gritted his teeth and negotiated with the owner of the coffin shop. Everyone knew that the owner of the coffin shop was a mean person and would not give credit even a penny.

"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? This is my gift to Mr. Jiang. I don't want any money!"

The shopkeeper looked around and was a little disappointed when he didn't see the noble man, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Fortunately, the noble man was not there, otherwise he would not be able to deliver these things.

The huge funeral procession seemed particularly sad. Even the eldest son Jiang Dongsheng could not understand why so many people in mourning came all of a sudden. Their family was small, and they only had a few friends and neighbors.

Although the current situation is obviously not right, the Jiang family simply cannot take care of it.

"Didn't you say that there aren't many relatives in my uncle's family?"

Tian Tian looked at the funeral procession in the distance with some confusion.

Jiang Dazhuang said that most of his old friends had passed away, and some of their descendants kept in touch with him while others did not, so his funeral was simple so that Tian Tian and the others did not have to worry too much. But what was going on now?

"Pfft~"

"You don't know, the people in Cao County are so interesting. Among those attending the funeral are the county magistrate, as well as the sons and masters of wealthy families, but they act like thieves~"

None of them even dared to show their faces. Was this an attempt to curry favor with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess or was this a thief?

Most people can't understand Cao Xian's behavior. Some say he is petty, which is true. Some say he is eager for quick success and wants to get close to the powerful, but he is like frightened rabbits and dare not get close to Tian Tian.

Tian Tian also felt that the people of Cao County were nice. Although they seemed a little cunning, the people of Cao County lived a happy life, which showed that the county magistrate was quite capable.

Jiang Dazhuang was finally buried together with Qin Niang. All the people who had gathered at the grave with the funeral procession ran away. No one knew whether they were afraid of being discovered by Tian Tian or what, but the Jiang family was unable to invite any guests.

"Cousin, my second brother bought a yard in the west of the city. You should move there today!"

The Jiang family's yard in the alley was too small, so they decided to move now rather than wait for a better day.

"No! My cousin and his sister have already spent a lot of money on us. We don't want my cousin's house!"

Jiang Dongsheng shook his head repeatedly.

"Cousin, this house was given to your family by my mother. You can't refuse a gift from an elder. You can't make my mother sad just after my uncle left."

Tian Chunsheng was eloquent and persuaded the Jiang family members to nod with just a few words.

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to kowtow to my uncle and aunt. This is really unfilial!"

The Jiang family's wives looked ashamed, as their aunt's family had helped them so much.

"Yes, I don't know if my aunt is living comfortably these days. You all are helping here, and there is no one to take care of my aunt!"

I haven't seen Jiang Yueniang and her husband these past few days. They didn't show up at the funeral either. I don't know if they couldn't adapt to the climate and soil in Cao County and got sick.

"My parents are fine. They live in the farmhouse. It's too late to come today. My cousin and his wife can go to the farmhouse to visit them tomorrow!"

The skull marks on Tian Quanyou and the old lady’s heads are about to fade away, and it’s time to get them out. If we forget, we might be in big trouble.

The Jiang family was busy moving and suddenly envied the permanent residents in the alley.

"Jiang's wife, are you going to move away?"

Seeing the Jiang family busying around, many people hurried over to inquire about the news.

"My aunt bought a yard in the west of the city, and we're moving there today!"

The Jiang family's wives usually don't interact with people in the alley. The work in the grocery store is enough to keep them busy.

"Oh my, your family has finally become wealthy. You are so lucky to have such good relatives!"

Some people were extremely envious. Originally, everyone was poor, but the Jiang family suddenly became rich. This was really unbearable for them.

"I heard that your little cousin is a princess, a high-ranking official, right? Why doesn't she take you and your family to the capital?"

"Yes, what's the point of staying in Cao County? It's better to go to the capital. There are many opportunities in the capital, which will benefit your children and grandchildren!"

Perhaps these neighbors meant well to remind her, but Jiang's wife still changed her expression.

"My aunt also lives in a village in the north. You all know that the north is not a good place to live. My aunt has done her best to help us so much!"

The Jiang family's wives felt very unhappy. When their father-in-law was alive, he often said that he owed the most to their aunt. But in turn, their aunt helped them so much, which made them feel very guilty.

"From now on, Grandpa Huang will live here with my uncle and aunt and practice hard. It's dangerous outside. If you don't have the skills, don't go out!"

The old emperor is restless. If he encourages Jiang Dazhuang and his wife to leave, no one knows what will happen.

"I have the skills, I am more than capable of protecting them!"

Tian Tian knew that the old emperor would not be honest. Fortunately, I quietly revoked the old emperor's ability to travel through the fog at will.

"Okay, I have to take my parents out. They can't stay here for long!"

Although the villa has not been occupied by the Netherworld Qi, Tian Tian is reluctant to lock the couple up in the villa for a long time.

"Fatty is leaving now?"

Jiang Dazhuang was reluctant to let go. He had been looking for his sister for almost his entire life, but he didn't expect that they could only be together for three or five days. In the future, they would be separated by the Yin and Yang, and it was not certain whether they would see each other again.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you can live here peacefully. We will come in to see you when we have time!"

The old lady was reluctant to leave her relatives, but she knew she couldn't cause trouble for Tian Tian.

"If you ask me, you'd better die quickly. Then we can be reunited!"

The old emperor's words were shocking, so Tian Tian quickly took her parents out of the space, otherwise she was afraid that Tian Quanyou would not be able to help but beat the ghost.
