Farmer one or two things

Finally, Chen Guizhi stopped crying and was about to go to the mourning hall to see her mother for the last time, but Liu Xiuzhen stopped her and said, "Elder sister, your condolences are changing. Mother is gone, we are all sad, her old man treats us juniors There is nothing wrong with it. At the beginning, when you were confinement, eldest sister, there were only four chickens at home, and she tied up two and sent them to you. I saw that no one brought Tiancai. I helped take care of it for a few months before I came back. .I always miss you at home, and the kindness of a mother is really touching."

Song Tiancai felt a little unpleasant when he heard these words, and felt that there was something in the words.But Chen Guizhi nodded and said: "My mother has done everything she can do for me as a daughter. I wanted to be filial to her for a few more years. But I didn't expect that she just left." After speaking, she bled again. tears.

Liu Xiuzhen followed suit and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. After a while, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Elder sister, my mother-in-law is so nice, but me and the head of the family are useless. The family is poor, and I want to find a better one for her." But I can't do things after death. My heart is sad. The old man has never enjoyed a blessing in his life. When he is about to die, he still can't enjoy himself. It's because of our incompetence. The life and death of my brother-in-law is uncertain. There is no money in the hands of the old and the young. Now that the mother-in-law is down, except for the birthday materials, I have already prepared it. I even borrowed the money for the white cloth. I went back to my natal family to borrow money. How can you be shabby to your mother-in-law?"

Villagers are very solemn about funerals.Old ladies like Mrs. Gao are gone, and after a funeral is done, it can cost as little as three taels of silver, and as much as it is extremely high.When looking at the filial piety of a family's children, one has to look not only at how the old man was before he was alive, but also at how things are going after him.

The Chen family had been made a fuss by Chen Guizhi before, saying that they were going to sue the Chen family brothers for being unfilial.The funeral of Mrs. Gao this time is the time for the Chen family brothers to prove their filial piety, so they must be a little more decent.Otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to marry their son a good wife and talk to the village in the future.

But it happened that Chen Yongle was seriously ill and was in urgent need of money in the hospital. With Feng Sifeng's temperament, he would definitely not want to pay for the funeral.Chen Yongchang is the eldest, and the situation of his younger brother's family is like this, so he will be able to persecute him.Otherwise, others will say that he is heartless and ungrateful, regardless of his brother's life or death.Therefore, his family had to pay for the funeral expenses.A decent funeral would cost at least seven or eight taels of silver, and Liu Xiuzhen was afraid that she would focus on Chen Guizhi, the daughter.

Thinking about this, sarcasm flashed in Song Tiancai's eyes.This family is still so calculating, and they are not afraid that Mrs. Gao will come to them at night.Zhao Yanxiu was not stupid, and he understood a thing or two, afraid that his elder brother would feel uncomfortable, so he secretly shook Song Tiancai's hand to comfort him.

Chen Guizhi also understood that it was her eldest brother-in-law who was asking her for money for the funeral.But Feng Sifeng just took 40 taels of silver from her son just now, and now he has to help his elder brother's family pay for the funeral, Chen Guizhi really can't say this to Song Tiancai.

Song Tiancai's words are still ringing in her ears. How could she talk to her son and the head of the family and post the money when her elder brother and sister-in-law acted like that.If Liu Xiuzhen said to borrow money, there is still an example to follow, and it will be done according to Feng Sifeng's conditions, but now Liu Xiuzhen is crying poorly and asking Chen Guizhi to pay the money himself, Chen Guizhi doesn't know how to respond.

In her heart, she hoped that her mother's last journey would be beautiful, but she also hated Liu Xiuzhen's appearance of fooling her like a fool.I was even more worried that this matter would make my son and the head of the family unhappy, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while.Just listening to Liu Xiuzhen talking there, she didn't answer.

Liu Xiuzhen said the words back and forth twice, seeing Chen Guizhi's lack of response, she felt secretly resentful.In the end, I had no choice but to cut to the chase and said: "Sister, I know your family is having a good time. At least your mother-in-law gave birth to you, so you can see if you can pay for the funeral. Otherwise, when the time comes, the mother-in-law's funeral will be too shabby, and our faces None of them look good."

Song Tiancai thought he was just waiting for your words, and immediately said: "Since my aunt asked my mother to pay for the funeral, it is not impossible, just like what my aunt said, my grandma gave birth to my mother, and the grace of giving birth to my mother is greater than heaven. The last thing for grandma in this world is naturally to be beautiful and beautiful. Since my aunt said that the Taoist family can't afford money, then let us Song family handle this matter. I promise to make grandma's funeral beautiful and beautiful. Light, don't let uncle and aunt worry about it."

Regardless of Liu Xiuzhen's sudden change of expression, Song Tiancai said to Song Dashan, "Father, you go and pick up Xiaobao and come over to throw the basin. Our Song family is doing big things, how can we let outsiders work hard."

There is no family in the village who wants a married woman to do the funeral, except for those who have no sons, only the daughters are required to pay for it.Otherwise, there is no such thing as the water splashed by the married daughter.But now Song Tiancai meant to help Mrs. Gao with the funeral, and in the name of the Song family, Song Xiaobao had to throw the basin. Isn't this telling everyone that the Chen family is empty?When her husband and son are dead, in the future, their family will not be laughed at by outsiders.

Liu Xiuzhen said with a straight face: "Tiancai, you are young and don't know the rules of this funeral. Only those who have no sons and grandchildren use their grandsons to throw basins. You see, you have four cousins, how can you let Xiaobao do this?" thing."

Song Tiancai was very surprised and said: "I know, but it's not that my aunt said that she couldn't afford grandma's funeral and asked our Song family to pay for it. The money was paid by our family, so we naturally need our Song family to support the family. My son and grandson can't afford to deal with her aftermath. I don't think they have the face to face grandma, let alone throwing a pot. Aunt, if you want to tell me the rules, then tell me, I haven't heard of it , There are married women who take money for the funeral of their mother’s family. Since my aunt can change this rule, why can’t my money be exchanged for the person who threw the pot.”

Liu Xiuzhen was choked to death, but she really didn't dare to let Song Tiancai do this, so she had to change her words: "I never said that, did you hear it wrong?"

Song Tiancai, however, refused to let go, and said to Liu Xiuzhen, "I'd forget about it if my aunt didn't tell me, but the affairs behind my grandma will be handled smoothly, so I'll leave it here. If my aunt and uncle really can't do it, then I will But I took over. No matter what, I can’t let my grandma go so poorly. Auntie, please tell me what you plan to do about this funeral.”

Liu Xiuzhen couldn't get off the tiger, so she had no choice but to tell Mrs. Gao that she would invite monks to do things, what kind of banquets she would have, and how many paper figurines she would make for Mrs. Gao.Song Tiancai listened carefully, and would ask a few more questions from time to time, and asked Liu Xiuzhen to correct one or two bad things.In the end, after a relatively satisfactory process was reached, Liu Xiuzhen was let go.

Liu Xiuzhen looked at the Song family who believed it was true, and laughed in her heart. She just talked about this matter, if it was really done according to the specifications, it would not be possible to do it without a dozen taels of silver.She would not be stupid to spend so much money for Mrs. Gao.It doesn't matter if you talk about it. When the time comes, if she doesn't do that, what will happen to the Song family.

Either pay for it yourself, or hold it back, and if you dare to speak up, there are guaranteed to be plenty of spittle to flood them.I can also have an excuse to drive them away. I really thought that having two silvers would be great, and I didn't even look at who she was. It would be strange if she could be bluffed by the Song family.

As soon as Liu Xiuzhen left, Chen Guizhi sighed. She still knew what kind of person the eldest brother-in-law was.It is impossible for her to spend so much money for her mother.But she, a married woman, is not easy to point fingers at, otherwise, even the Song family will be punished.

Song Tiancai looked at Chen Guizhi's sighing appearance, and said, "Mother, don't worry, the funeral that my aunt said will definitely come true. Grandma's last funeral can't be done poorly."

When Song Tiancai said this, Chen Guizhi was miraculously relieved.Although I feel that it is a bit embarrassing to ask the Song family to pay for my mother's funeral, but thinking about the old lady Gao who has suffered all her life, Chen Guizhi is speechless.

In the early morning of the next day, three monks came to the Chen family to chant sutras for the old lady Gao, and a large number of paper figurine utensils were sent by Mingzhi Shop, and the owner of the restaurant in the town brought his buddies to the Chen family.Liu Xiuzhen laughed when she saw it. The Song family did what she said yesterday. Now it's all right. It doesn't cost her much money but can earn a good reputation. From now on, it will be easier for her son to talk about his daughter-in-law.

The people who came to the funeral saw how grand the Chen family was, and they all praised Liu Xiuzhen and Chen Yongchang.The two of them knew in their hearts that it was a gift from someone who paid the money from the Song family, but they accepted all of them without any embarrassment in the face of everyone's praise.Without mentioning the Song family's contribution at all, someone asked Liu Xiuzhen how much money it would cost, Liu Xiuzhen said indifferently, as long as she could send Granny Gao on her last journey in a good manner, it would not be a pity to go bankrupt.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yongchang's family lived in Chenjia Village, Chen Zan, and some people even said that Chen Guizhi used to be troubled, so where can I find such a filial son and daughter-in-law.Chen Guizhi still wants to sue others for being unfilial, which is really uneasy and kind.

Chen Guizhi watched his elder brother and his eldest brother-in-law behave like this, and felt even more embarrassed in front of Song Tiancai and Song Dashan.She hates her to death, and she can't blame others, but her son spends money for her but doesn't get any good, but she is still said to be aggrieved by doing this.Chen Guizhi secretly cried a few times, but did not dare to reveal it in front of Song Tiancai.However, she became ruthless in her heart. In the future, even if her mother's family died and became disabled, she would not be stupid again and seek abuse by herself.

Originally, Chen Yongchang and his wife were worried that Song Tiancai would not cooperate, saying that he paid the money, and the trouble would make everyone look bad.However, I didn't expect Song Tiancai to be very cooperative.They praised them for their filial piety in front of others, and said that Liu Xiuzhen was the one to thank for the funeral, and it was all her idea.At this moment, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect the stingy and stingy daughter-in-law of the Chen family to be so considerate of the overall situation. They all praised Liu Xiuzhen a lot, and praised Liu Xiuzhen so that her face was full of red, and she worked even harder to act as a filial daughter-in-law.

It was hot in summer, and Mrs. Gao spent five days in funerals.After five days, the Song family returned home, and Chen Guizhi ignored Chen Yongchang and his wife.She even said that she would go directly to the cemetery to burn in the "burning seven" in the future, and would not go back to the Chen family again, and told the Chen family not to go to her if they had anything to do.

Song Tiancai was quite satisfied with Chen Guizhi's words, looking at Liu Xiuzhen who was a little proud but also disdainful, and Chen Yongchang who was smiling with a guilty conscience, he sneered in his heart: You just wait for the better day tomorrow.

On the sixth day, several waves of people came to the door of Chen's house, all of whom were asking Chen Yongchang and his wife for money with receipts.Chen Yongchang and his wife were dumbfounded. Didn't the Song family pay for the monks, cooks, and paper figurines?Where did these people come from? The Chen family couple naturally refused to pay the money and asked them to find Song Tiancai.

These people said that this was a funeral for their Chen family, so they naturally asked the Chen family for money, if the Chen family didn't give the money, they would go to the Yamen to talk.There is no one who doesn't spend money to buy things and hire people. They have used up all the money and bought everything. If you want to lose money, let's talk in the yamen.

In a hurry, Chen Yongchang and his wife refused to give. Hearing the news, everyone in Chenjia Village was led over.After hearing it, I found out that the Chen family didn't spend any money on the funeral of Mrs. Gao, and the Chen family thought it was the money spent by the Song family that made them so generous and filial.Unexpectedly, the Song family just helped to tie the strings and didn't pay the money at all. Now the debtors have to come to the Chen family's door.

People who praised Chen Yongchang and his wife in the past wished they could spit in their faces. It would be fine if the married woman had to pay for the funeral. The couple was still pretending to be big-tailed wolves before.It caused them to boast for a long time, and the emotional Chen Yongchang and his wife thought that the business did not cost money, so they piled it on them desperately.It's all right now, people want money, you can give it.

These people all took advantage of Song Tiancai, and when they came to ask for money, they all knew that they would encounter some troubles.Preparations were made early on, and after a while, someone took the head catcher to Chen's house.When Chen Yongchang and his wife saw the arrester, they heard that if they didn't pay back the money, they would have to pay the debt with their family's land when they got into trouble at the Yamen.

As soon as the person left, Liu Xiuzhen became more and more angry. If she didn't know that Song Tiancai had tricked her, she could find a rope and hang herself, and dragged Chen Yongle to the Song family to ask for an explanation.Chen Yongchang slapped Liu Xiuzhen severely, and said bitterly: "What are you looking for? Song Tiancai has something to do with the Yamen. He has money in his hand, and he is cruel. No matter how much money for the funeral, we can't get it to the Song family. Let's go there now." , That’s asking for shame. I shouldn’t have listened to you at the beginning, and Song Tiancai’s advantage is easy to take advantage of by asking the eldest sister to pay the money. Even a shrew like Feng Sifeng still mortgaged the land deed, now it’s all right, the money is spent, and the reputation He didn't come back either, Tiantian is so good at calculating, he can't mess with people who can't be messed with. I won't go to the Song family, if you want to go, you go by yourself."

Liu Xiuzhen was also confused just now, how could the Chen family go to the Song family for the funeral money.What's more, Song Tiancai said in public that she made every detail of the funeral arrangements, and she was so stupid that she admitted it in public because Song Tiancai wanted to show her favor.Going to the Song family now, besides slapping yourself and being laughed at, is of any use.

As a result of this incident, another incident happened. The family who was engaged to Chen Yongrong broke off the engagement in the name of Chen Yongrong's filial piety and delaying the woman's flowering period.After Liu Xiuzhen was reprimanded by Chen Yongchang, she was blamed by her own son.Of course, these are things for later.

But here, Song Tiancai got the news, didn't say anything, just smiled.
