The Shen family built a villa in the countryside. At this time, it was crowded with people. Gu Ying's seven aunts and eight uncles who had never met before all came, as well as those three or four who regarded her as a thorn in the side. Fifth Uncle, the mourning hall has already been built.

Although the old man is weak, his younger brothers are strong and able to give birth and support them. There are more than ten or twenty members of the family, and the four generations live together. Bringing them here can fill up the place.

It's just that these people failed to carry forward the Shen family like Mr. Shen, and they were holding a sigh of relief in their hearts. What's the use of earning so much money, but in the end, no one even inherited the incense. Now they are all waiting to see Gu Ying's jokes, see How does she take care of this complicated housework as a woman.

If they want their help, I'm afraid they have to hand over the old man's inheritance.

Neighbors also stood on the street to watch the fun. Who didn't know that Mr. Shen, who had an astronomical net worth, only had one granddaughter, who was still unmarried at this age, and heard that she would show her face on TV and become popular.The things that the woman in the lamp district did made her look strange for a while.

The man's eyes were dirty, and while waving his hands to express that he would not be able to marry such a woman as his wife, he was thinking about how to secretly hook up with Gu Ying, taking the opportunity to taste it.

Women also know what their men are thinking, that's right.She couldn't hide her thirsty eyes, but she was furious in her heart but couldn't do anything to her husband, so she could only point her finger at Gu Ying, jealous and angry, this slut seduced their men in public.

"I'm so old and not married, I'm afraid no man will want me."

"I am as old as her, and I have three or four children."

"..."

Gu Haoying led Gu Yuanfei to watch coldly in the crowd, and had no intention of going up to do anything for Mr. Shen, unless Gu Ying begged them to sincerely take out the shares of Mr. Shen's company. The Gu family now needs a large sum of money to turn around, because the Cheng family is out of business. , leading to a large loss of the company, the stock fell, and nearly 50.00% of the shares have been acquired by others.

Gu Ying, who was originally thin, became especially slender under the guidance of these villagers. Qi Bo sighed.

Let her be criticized by everyone and force her to compromise.

"Who said no one wanted her?"

Xiao Ran stood outside the crowd and said coldly. He went to the entrance of the village to pick up Zhu Minxi and the others, but within a quarter of an hour, it became like this.

This is why she hates marriage and family. The seemingly harmonious and happy community is dirty and broken inside, where the ugliest forms of human nature are imprisoned. To put it bluntly, they are just shackles on people. If you don’t want to wear them, someone will force you. You wear it until you give in.

Such a name, why do you want it?

Everyone turned their heads to look at this girl whose body weight was higher than most of the men present. They usually didn't watch much TV, they only heard about Gu Ying, and of course they didn't know Xiao Ran, but she was beautiful, not that kind of traditional The charming, clear and cold.They were all secretly looking her up and down. They didn't know why, so they could only comment in private, using those words that would never change for thousands of years.

No one wants a girl who is so tall.

Xiao Ran didn't react when he heard this, and under the gaze of them looking up, he pushed through the crowd and walked to Gu Ying's side, holding her hand,

"She is my wife."

This sentence exploded in the crowd like a bomb.

Fireworks exploded in Gu Ying's heart.

She knew that Xiao Ran was only defending her in this situation, and she followed the agreement to attend the funeral in this role on this occasion. There was no camera here, and when she returned to the city, no one else would know what she said.

Except, Gu Yuanfei and Gu Haoying.

"What did you say?"

"Impossible, Xiao Ran, you can't marry her!"

Gu Yuanfei was the first to take it no longer. The overwhelming jealousy and hatred made him unable to control his anger at all. If Xiao Ran didn't like Gu Ying, he could explain why Xiao Ran brought people to mess with him because he did too many bad things outside. , Xiao Ran was admonishing him to turn back when he lost his way.

And not just for that bitch Gu Ying.

"Hello sister-in-law."

A few boys from the back squeezed over from the crowd, bumping Gu Yuanfei aside, the leader among them was about the same height as Xiao Ran, Gu Ying felt a little familiar but didn't seem to know him, she only knew Lin Shouyue and Nie Yuansheng next to him.

"My name is Xiao Huai."

Probably because he knew she didn't know him, Xiao Huai took the initiative to introduce himself. His figure is strong enough to support a large suit, his hair is short and clean, and he has thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Probably only an older sister like Xiao Run can bring out such a sunny and lovely younger brother and sister in the mud, Gu Ying nodded and glanced at Xiao Run standing in front of her again.

"Sister, I have invited the funeral team over."

Xiao Ran, who was born and raised in the countryside, is not clear about these cumbersome etiquettes, but she hates them and never abides by them. Now that Gu Ying needs them, she can handle them well.

Knowing that the relatives here would make things difficult for Gu Ying, she asked her younger brother to go to the village committee here to take care of it. After all, no matter how aggressive the villagers are, they have to listen to the leaders. This is the trick given by Mr. Yue. Now it is 21 Century, the biggest difference from the ancient times of feudalism is that here is no longer a strong dragon that can't overwhelm a local snake. No matter whether it is a dragon or a snake, it must obey the party's command.

current policy.The policy is to promote a streamlined funeral, but for an old man like Mr. Shen, according to his last wish, the scene can be a little more cumbersome.

Each village has its own rules and customs. If you understand the funeral process and etiquette here from the village committee, you will not be afraid of being deceived.

This point Xiao Ran really admired Mr. Yue, the idea of ​​the superior had lightened her and Gu Ying's burden a lot, and with more money, there would always be villagers in the same village who had little to do with the interests of the Gu family who were willing to help.

Right now, the funeral team is neat and tidy, from the hostess to the band beating gongs and drums, all are here, and it is only necessary for Gu Ying and Xiao Ran to change into mourning clothes and follow the instructions.

This just made Shen Xipang, who was waiting for Gu Ying to bow his head and make a joke, to be very angry. If he didn't go up to cooperate with the old man in the coffin, he might lose his mouth.

The temperature was cold, and the old man's body was well preserved, still maintaining the appearance of his death yesterday, but his eyes were closed by Xiao Ran, and his hands were peacefully placed in front of his abdomen.

There is no precedent for same-sex juniors getting married here. According to customs, some things should be done by Mr. Shen’s grandson-in-law, because men are the most important, and the host master didn’t say anything when he saw them in this situation, mainly because Xiao Huai stuffed him just now. A big red envelope, he followed the agreement, let Xiao Ran, who looks stronger, replace Gu Ying to tie the white thread and keep the etiquette for Mr. Shen, Gu Ying just follow her.

Wearing a coarse linen Sun Xiao suit, Xiao Ran methodically washed him, changed his shroud and shoes, and fed him.

The wreaths and white wax incense candles were all set up, because it was the second day after the death, and the funeral was streamlined, the original small burial and large burial were combined, and the body in the shroud was put into the coffin, so Xiao Ran took Gu Ying to the meeting in the front hall The guest area kneels, and returns the salute with the guests who come to express their condolences.

The guests can't see the end at a glance. The wife and wife kneeling on the side of the mourning hall are very thin. Generally, old people of this age are in groups, and it is not so tiring to kneel instead of each other. Kneel by yourself.

After the uncles and relatives were incensed, they sat on the benches and ate melon seeds, chatting cheerfully. No matter how simple the etiquette is, you still have to kneel. No one can replace Gu Ying, and Xiao Ran is not enough alone.

Zhu Minxi brought them a special elastic tube cushion. Yue Linxue said that this cushion can change the area of ​​stress and reduce knee injuries.But it's just a reduction, because Gu Ying has been dancing all year round, and his knee joints are not very good. After kneeling for such a long time, his whole leg has turned from soreness to numbness, from numbness to pain, and his face has turned pale.

"Go take a break, I'm here".

Without changing his expression, Xiao Ran straightened up and helped her up. The coffin-entry ceremony had already been completed, and a direct junior would be enough for the condolence kowtow here, and she had inquired about it.

"Ok".

Really unable to hold on, Gu Ying was helped by Zhu Minxi to sit on the side of the wooden bed. Xiao Ke was very sensible and took a hot water bottle to warm her knees. When she came, Zhu Minxi picked her up from the company along the way.

Seeing the captain still kneeling there, Zhu Minxi was dissatisfied.

What kind of broken ritual is this, tossing the living, will the dead be happy?Uncle Yue respected the simplicity of funerals, and they insisted on cremation in the future, and they didn't want their children to kneel from beginning to end. It was good for the whole family to have fun while alive, and to sleep peacefully after death.

Many people stared at them, but because Xiao Ran was kneeling, it was hard for them to say anything.

After slowly regaining feeling in both legs, Gu Ying was very worried that Xiao Ran would feel uncomfortable kneeling for so long, and was planning to go there to replace her.

"Sister, let me come, there are other things for you to take care of over there."

Xiao Huai knelt down at Gu Ying's original position, and Lin Shouyue and the others were also waiting not far away, ready to take turns kneeling with Xiao Huai.

A funeral requires too many people, such as organizing a banquet, keeping accounts and presents, these things were originally to be helped by relatives, but the group of people had no such intention at all, and just watched with cold eyes.

Gu Ying could only do it in person, Qi Bo was busy taking care of the supplies needed for the funeral, Shu Bai and Yu Sheng went to the back kitchen to watch, and Yue Linxue, the big president, sat at the door with a pen to help They manage the bookkeeping and gift lists.

As for Gu Ying, she almost didn't have to do anything, her eyes were a little moist, only at this moment, she could feel the warmth from the big family, even though they didn't have the same surname.

"You are not from the Shen family, so you cannot kneel here."

Pointing at Xiao Huai who was wearing a black suit, Gu Ying's uncles were not happy. Xiao Huai is Xiao Ran's younger brother. Originally, Xiao Ran was only close to each other, so how could her younger brother do it for him? Moreover, Nie Yuansheng and the others seemed to be strong and strong young men. If they took turns kneeling, wouldn't it be too easy for Gu Ying?This is not what they want to see.

"Well, uncle, your surname is Shen, why don't you let the juniors surnamed Shen come over and kneel with Gu Ying in turn."

Xiao Ran got up and said to these old people politely, his voice was not loud, he deliberately gave them a chance to compromise.

"I think my grandfather also made a lot of contributions to the Shen family during his lifetime. He seems to have sponsored your newly built house. It's not too much for the descendants to honor his old man, right?"

I know they want to take advantage of Gu Ying's situation, but at least their surname is Shen, so what if there is only one Gu Ying?It is not good to hear that dozens of them bully a girl.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, the faces of a few people were not very good-looking, and it was fine not to give them any benefits, and it was impossible to let their juniors kneel in the past!They turned their heads and went back to the bench and continued to watch the excitement with their arms crossed, as if this scene just now had never happened.

I don't know what old man Shen in the underworld will think when he sees these close relatives whose blood is thicker than water. Xiao Ran looked at them expressionlessly, so he probably wouldn't think so. He is also such a person, so how could he not know these?

Such a big family can only bully Gu Ying.
