"Who is saying bad things about me outside?"

Chao Mingyue climbed to the window and asked harshly outside.

Chao Shuyu tilted his head and glanced at him. Seeing that he still looked ugly, he immediately turned his head in disgust.

Chao Mingyue:......

"Hahaha!"

Hua Lingling almost couldn't help but laugh louder.

My father-in-law was buried just yesterday. If she laughed so loudly at home today, if someone heard her, they wouldn’t know what to say to her!

Although everyone in the village knew that Chao Dazhuang was not a good person, death was like a lamp going out, and he was an elder. If Hua Lingling really laughed so hard that others could hear her, she would definitely be drowned in saliva.

It's just that suppressing laughter is a technical job, and Hua Lingling really couldn't help it anymore.

Chao Mingyue looked at Hua Lingling helplessly. His wife was so heartless. He was so disliked by his daughter that she could still smile so happily.

"Daughter-in-law, I haven't eaten all day, I'm so hungry~"

It was rare for Chao Mingyue to act coquettishly.

"There is rice in the pot. Just light the fire and heat it up. Didn't you notice that I am washing clothes?"

Washing clothes is a strenuous task, especially mud marks, which are the most difficult to wash. Moreover, this is Xiaoyi, and the white cloth cannot be wiped clean even if it is soaked all night.

"Put the clothes there and I'll wash them after I finish eating."

After Chao Mingyue finished speaking, he put on his clothes in a few seconds, threw a few corn cobs into the pit, and went out to solve the problem in the pen.

Hua Lingling put Xiaoyi aside, washed her and Chao Shuyu's underwear and hung them up to dry. She really didn't want to wash other clothes, so she went into the house and lay down on the kang, ready to catch up on her sleep.

Chao Shuyu didn't stay up late with the adults for the past three days, but she couldn't sleep well every night. Seeing her mother about to go to bed, she climbed onto the kang and got into Hua Lingling's bed.

She also slept in the same bed as Hua Lingling last night. After these three days of tossing, she felt very insecure at night.

By the time Chao Mingyue had solved the problem, the mother and daughter had long since disappeared from the patio. When they were washing, they saw the bulging blanket on the kang bed from the window. Knowing that the mother and daughter were tired from the past three days, they quietly entered the house. , after eating, I quickly went to the patio to wash the clothes.

At noon, he went directly to Liu Caiye's house.

Today we have to discuss matters related to the first seven days, as well as how to divide the money borrowed for this errand between the brothers and sisters.

"The youngest is here."

His two brothers and two sisters were in the room. After seeing him, they all said hello in a lackluster manner, and their voices were all hoarse.

"Ah."

Chao Mingyue sat down and the topic started from "The First Seven".

"Let's sweep the grave in the morning before seven o'clock. When we get back, we will come to my mother's house to lay out tributes and burn incense. At noon, we will light incense for our father to lead the way. Don't waste time. I will stack more gold ingots when I go back today. It will be at eight o'clock in the evening. , hold a memorial ceremony for burning seven."

"Row."

Everyone had no objections. As the boss, Chao Mingliang continued:

"Then let's calculate how much our dad spent on this extravagance. Will it be divided equally among the three of us brothers or among the five of us brothers and sisters?"

Before others could pervert, Liu Caiye was unhappy.

"A married girl is nothing but water! Just the three of you can spend the money on your father's funeral, so as not to make people laugh at you!"

Three Brothers:……

The two basins of water were poured very skillfully. When bleeding was needed, the water was poured out. Normally, they were sisters in the same family.

"Ahem, let's share it equally among the three brothers. This is the accounting book, followed by the gift book."

Chao Mingliang put the account book on the table. On the back of a grid book used by children for school, he wrote down every expense starting from the first page, how much was the paper, how much was the meat, vegetables and fruits, and how much was the white cloth. , cremation...

The record of the gifts starts from the last page. I remember that they are all the names of relatives. The gifts cost one or two yuan, five yuan is rare, and one is ten yuan. He is the second brother of Chao Dazhuang. Chao Mingming and their brother's second big brother.

After all the calculations, the gift still didn't cost much, and each of them finally shared the debt of more than fifty yuan. Chao Mingan and Chao Mingyue settled the debt on the spot. Only Chao Mingliang asked his two younger brothers to borrow money. .

After the matter to be discussed was settled, the three brothers comforted their old mother and went back to their respective homes.

Liu Caiye was left alone at home, sitting on the chair in a daze as if she had lost her soul. Then she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly she took out the enamel basin where she used to burn paper money, and carried a bundle of paper money. I took the match, went to the firewood shed next to it, lit the paper money, and kept mumbling.

"Old man, don't blame me for asking you to be laid to rest yesterday! You have also seen that our children had a bad last year. If this is the New Year, we will have to hold a funeral for you. What a shame! What a bad luck! Will they be able to do well this year? You are their father. You have not done anything for them in this life, so this time it will be the only thing you do for the children.

From now on, when you are underground, you must bless them with everything going well and making a fortune! In this world, it’s hard to move without money, so you don’t have to worry about being poor down there. I’ll burn the paper money for you every day, and I’m sure you won’t be able to spend it all, so you don’t have to come up again. Just remember to bless them..."

Liu Caiye kept nagging until all the bundle of paper money was burned. This was what she had to do every day these days. Whenever she felt uneasy, she would come to this place where Chao Da Zhuang disappeared to give him money, hoping that he would Don't worry about her failure to put him to rest in time. The most important thing is not to come back on the first seven days. The house is like this, there is nothing worth seeing.

After the paper money was burned, Liu Caiye felt a little more at ease, so she went back to the house and continued to be in a daze.

She was an old lady, living alone, and it was winter again. She had nothing else to do to kill time except being in a daze. She didn't even want to cook, and her meals depended on chance.

When Chao Mingyue returned home, Hua Lingling came out of the space instantly.

She hasn't been in for a while. The crops in the space have already matured for two crops. The wheat seedlings of the third crop have grown to knee high and are densely packed. The harvest will definitely not be good by then. , she could only patiently start thinning out the seedlings, and then plant the seedlings into the open space next to them.

As for the poultry and livestock, the team has also grown a lot, and they all have babies. Hua Lingling is really glad that she planted sweet potatoes on the edge of the fence before, otherwise they would have to starve to death.

Because there was a Chao Shuyu under the quilt, Hua Lingling was very frightened at this job. When she heard the sound of the door, she ran out immediately. Fortunately, the little baby was not crushed, but the shoes could not be put back in the house in time. , I don’t know if it will be decomposed as garbage by space...
