When the old uncle heard what she said, the half-smiling smile suddenly froze.

Brick tombs, marble tombstones, and people from Quantunzi to come to mourning... How much does it cost?

If nothing else, let's take the matter of inviting the whole village to cry and mourning. In the first month of the year, who doesn't think it's bad for nothing? If you want to invite everyone, you have to put on a big banquet to invite people?

It's the first month of the month, and no one is short of delicious food. If there are not three or five meat dishes on a table, who would be willing to come?

There are now more than 80 households in the village. If they all come to the banquet, they can't even eat wine and food without 300 yuan.

The banquet cost three hundred yuan, plus the brick tomb and the marble tombstone, plus the money for the coffin and shroud, the money for the trumpet maker, the old lady, the inside and outside of the funeral, and it all cost more than four hundred dollars. can do it.

All of the old lady's belongings are worth five hundred yuan. If he organizes the funeral for the old lady according to Han Mingxiu's standards, he basically won't make any money after the funeral, then he is not busy working in vain. ?

Seeing that the old uncle was hesitating, Han Mingxiu added: "Although according to the old rules, the son carries the spirit flag, but Jiabao has changed the surname of the old Han family. Isn't there a precedent for grandsons to carry spiritual banners to grandparents before in the village, if the old uncle is not willing to take care of my grandmother's funeral, then this spiritual banner can be carried by the family treasure."

Seeing that her brother hesitated, Ergu Han was a little anxious.

Back then, the younger brother asked her to be a lobbyist, and after he agreed to let her help get the old lady's house and land into his hands, he divided the old lady's house into two rooms for her strong son to marry.

At this moment, seeing that Han Mingxiu has caused a problem for my brother, and sincerely doesn't want my brother to inherit the old lady's house and land, wouldn't the house where Qiangzi married go to waste?

If she doesn't have a house, what can she ask her to get her son to marry a wife?

Ergu Han was in a hurry, so she couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxiu, tell me, there's no need for such a high-profile burial, right? We are all eight generations of poor peasants. As soon as someone grabs hold of you and says that we are landlords and old wealthy, how can we fix it?"

After being reminded by her, the old uncle also woke up like a dream, and nodded again and again: "That's right, tell me, let's just go with the flow, don't go too far, so as not to cause trouble."

Han Mingxiu smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, now that the reform and opening up has been implemented, the country's policies have also been relaxed, and the leaders have said that some people are allowed to get rich first, and it is our own family's business to bury the elderly. Son, the state will not care."

"However, spending so much money on a funeral is a bit unacceptable!" Ergu Han glanced at her brother and continued.

Han Mingxiu said: "Second aunt, how can you say that you can't commit the crime? The money is from my milk. She uses her inheritance for money to take care of her own affairs, and she doesn't have to use a single cent of our younger generation, it is all her own. Money, what's wrong with it? Could it be that we, the juniors, have to deduct some money from the elderly?"

"Look at your child, where is the nagging? Who wants to deduct the old lady's money? I mean, our old lady's funeral should go with the flow, what should we do if other people's old people are gone? What should I do, don't make it too conspicuous." The second aunt defended.

Han Mingxiu said sarcastically: "People's children are still filial to their parents, why don't you learn from others? Why do you want to follow them when it's a simple funeral? You're not doing well, don't you want to restore your reputation on the last important thing about her old lady? You have to bear the reputation of severing ties with the old lady for the rest of your life?"

This sentence hit the old man's heart all of a sudden.

The year before last, the youngest son of his family got married, the eldest daughter of Wang Mancang of Sijiawazitun.

At that time, the two of them didn't agree with the marriage because the Lao Wang family had a bad reputation, and his eldest niece, Xiao Cui'er, had married the Lao Wang family, so they knew they were not good people.

However, it's not easy for them to disagree, and they can't help their son agreeing!

People keep saying that parents are not allowed to arrange marriages, they want free love, and if parents interfere with their love, they will sue them...

For the daughter of the old Wang family, the family fought several battles. In the end, the two of them failed to win over their son, and they were reluctant to marry the daughter of the old Wang family.

Later, as they expected, the daughter of the old Wang family was not very virtuous.

I really can't stand it anymore. When they said a few words to her, she said with plausibility: "It's not good for me, why did you cut off your relationship with your own mother? Learn from you, learn from you!"

Han Lao Gada was scolded by his daughter-in-law, but he couldn't argue.

Yes, he has been stinking with his own mother, why should he expect his daughter-in-law to be filial?

In this way, the life at home has been living awkwardly, and the daughter-in-law has always taken the matter of cutting off their relationship with the old mother as an excuse, and refused to be filial to them, even with her son gradually showing signs of unfilial piety.

I believe that in a few years, their son, who has worked so hard to raise them, will be mistreated by this daughter-in-law, and he will completely become an unfilial and unfilial person.

There is only one son in their family, and they will have to rely on this son in the future. How can he let his son become an unfilial person?

At this moment, when he heard Han Mingxiu say this, he couldn't help but blurted out:

"Okay, I'll send the old lady as you said! Don't worry, Xiao Xiu'er, the old lady is not only your milk, but also my mother. She has worked hard all her life. Even if I break the pot and sell iron, I have to make her beautiful. go..."

When he said this, he was not thinking of his dead mother, but his son and daughter-in-law.

He hoped that his son and daughter-in-law would see what he had done for the old man and would have a better view of him. In the future, when he is old, his son and daughter-in-law will be able to send him beautifully like he sent the old lady...

Han Mingxiu was a little surprised when she saw that the old uncle actually agreed. She thought that the old uncle would definitely be reluctant to spend this money, and he would have to mess with her for a long time!

However, since he agreed, Han Mingxiu didn't bother, and immediately told her elder sister and elder brother-in-law.

The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law spent more than 3,000 yuan on Han Mingxiu for breaking Wang Mantun. Han Mingxiu had already told them that he would not want the money. At this moment, Han Mingxiu asked them to give up the house and land that were only worth 500 yuan in total. Of course, they would have nothing to say.

So, the matter of sending the old lady was settled.

After the matter was settled, the old uncle and old aunt went out to Zhang Luo, and Han Mingxiu, the second aunt's family, the elder sister and the elder brother-in-law and other family members stayed in the house to watch the old lady's spirit.

During this period, occasionally one or two villagers came over to bring some burning paper to the old lady, and kowtowed on the incense stick. It was considered a farewell to the old lady. Han Mingxiu and the others poured tea to entertain them...

When it was almost noon, an unexpected person came...

It was Sun Yingmei who came along with her red star.

After not seeing her for many years, Yingmei seems to be a little fatter and more cheerful than before, and Hongxing is now a primary school student.

"Yeah, Yingmei, why are you here?"

After a long absence, Han Mingxiu was so pleasantly surprised that she held on to Sun Yingmei's hand.

Sun Yingmei said with a wry smile, "Isn't it true that my father died some time ago, and now my mother is sick again, and neither my sister-in-law nor my brother-in-law will serve her, so I have no choice but to come back and serve her for a few days. "

When the winter just entered, Sun Maowen had a sudden illness. When it was gone, his daughter-in-law couldn't stand the blow and fell ill all of a sudden. The disease lasted for several months. Take care of her for a while or two, but after a long time, the two of them became impatient and began to shirk each other's blame. No one was willing to take care of the old woman anymore.

Neither of their men are filial. Seeing that the old lady is useless, they don't even want to pay attention to her.

When Sun Maowen's daughter-in-law saw that her son and daughter-in-law couldn't count on her, she really called Tiantian's refusal, and she couldn't help her. In the end, she couldn't do anything. Only then did she think of her daughter who was the least popular with her.
