Zhang Shuzhen was very relieved when Huo Jianfeng and Han Mingxiu came back in time, but at the same time she was worried. In the north, there is a superstitious saying that pregnant women cannot go to the place of the dead, and the place of the dead is not clean. , There are dirty things that will rush to the fetus.

It's just that the old lady is a close relative, and she has to let them, who are grandchildren and daughters-in-law, come to see her off on her last journey.

Therefore, she did not stop her when she saw Han Mingxiu kneeling in front of the old lady's coffin. Only after kneeling for a while, did Zhang Shuzhen intervene when she saw that Han Mingxiu hadn't gotten up yet.

"Xiu'er, you can't kneel for too long on your body. The ground is damp. If it gets cold enough for the child, it will be bad for your child. If your grandma knows about it, she will also feel distressed."

Now the country does not allow feudal superstition activities, so even if she thinks so in her heart, she can't say that. He had to find another set of rhetoric to prevent Han Mingxiu from kneeling down again.

Han Mingxiu originally wanted to stay with her grandma for a while, but she became worried after hearing what her aunt said. He stood up obediently, bowed respectfully three times to grandma's coffin, and then went into the room to rest.

After entering the room, Han Mingxiu took the time to ask the old lady in detail.

"Auntie, why did grandma suddenly disappear? I remember that grandma's health has improved a lot in the past two years, so why don't you just leave!"

Zhang Shuzhen said: "People are getting older and their bodies are brittle, but if you don't talk about it, they're gone. Our Mrs. Tuenzi Laosi can't be faster than your milk. One second she was talking to someone, and the next second she suddenly fell to the ground. , and then it's gone..."

Regarding the matter of the old lady, Zhang Shuzhen understood that she was getting older and weaker.

Only Huo Hongshan's family understands that the reason why the old lady died suddenly was because she had been angry a lot in the past few days.

It's just that this matter can't be exposed, otherwise, Huo Jianfeng will never forgive them if their reputation is not good.

Therefore, the old lady died of natural causes, and it had nothing to do with them. Anyway, no one knew what was going on. Like Zhang Shuzhen, they thought that the old lady was in poor health and died suddenly.

Han Mingxiu didn't know the reason, but after hearing the explanation from her aunt, she believed it and felt sad again.

"At first, Jianfeng and I discussed taking her to live with us for a few days when I was three months old, but I didn't expect people to disappear like this..." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Zhang Shuzhen was afraid that her sadness would affect the child, so she hurriedly changed the subject to attract her attention.

"Hey Xiu, have you seen that girl? It's the one with Liu Yemei and apricot core eyes..."

Han Mingxiu followed her finger, and sure enough, she saw a pretty woman standing in the crowd outside the window.

"Well, I see, what happened?" Han Mingxiu was inexplicably asked by the aunt's question.

My aunt said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, that girl is your brother-in-law's target. Her name is Xifeng. Look, she looks handsome."

Han Mingxiu looked at the girl again and found that she was indeed beautiful. At first glance, it looks like a glamorous actress who made her debut as a maid, and finally became half the sky. As long as you stand there, it will automatically become a beautiful landscape, involuntarily attracting people's attention.

"It's really beautiful!" Han Mingxiu replied sincerely.

The aunt said in a low voice, "Pretty is beautiful, but it's too expensive, you know? In order to marry her, your aunt gave a betrothal gift of 550 yuan to the family!"

At first, Aunt Huo couldn't buy the four pieces. On the day of the appointment, she had to go to the woman's house with the money to buy the four pieces. At that time, the woman's parents even slapped them. Fortunately, the matchmaker dealt with it. Only accepted the dowry of five hundred and five dollars.

Aunt Huo was very aggrieved for this matter, and after returning home, she cursed Huo Jianfeng to the death. Of course, the curse aroused strong dissatisfaction with the old lady, so the old lady pointed to Mai Wang and told her again. I did it for a while, and it was a big sulking.

To be precise, the reason why the old lady died suddenly was all because of this girl. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted the older bride price, Aunt Huo wouldn't have an excuse to be crazy. If she wasn't crazy, the old lady wouldn't have been born that big. The anger will not lead to sudden death in the end.

However, Aunt Huo and Huo Changsheng don't think so, Huo Changsheng is infatuated with Xifeng, don't want it. Aunt Huo loved Wu Jiwu and followed her rare daughter-in-law. She didn't think the old lady's death had anything to do with her daughter-in-law. It's useless, it's a waste of food!

That Xifeng is also a good man. After hearing that the future grandmother died, she rushed over to help. Aunt Huo saw that her daughter-in-law was so sensible and well-behaved, it was even more rare. Huo Changsheng also took this opportunity to secretly flirt with her.

The old lady's funeral has actually become the venue for their tryst.

The villagers who came to pay their respects saw that the two of them were still hooking up on this occasion. It's better not to come back if you can't find it!

Of course, these words were passed on behind Huo Hongshan's back. If Aunt Huo heard someone say that about her precious son, it would be strange if she didn't fight with those scumbags!

Anyway, her son is good, and she feels that others are not allowed to say half a word. Han Mingxiu heard that Aunt Huo actually gave out a huge betrothal gift of 550 yuan in order to marry Huo Changsheng. Unconsciously remembering that Aunt Huo didn't pay a penny when she got married, Huo Jianfeng himself risked his life to go hunting in the mountains to collect the dowry, and he couldn't help feeling distressed for Huo Jianfeng again.

Aunt Huo is Huo Jianfeng's nominal adoptive mother, but when Huo Jianfeng got married, she was stunned and didn't take out a penny. Even if Huo Jianfeng risked his life to fight back the deer, he let her greed for most of the deer against her conscience.

So favoring one over the other, with all eyes on the rib seam, and wanting to make Huo Jianfeng filial to her, isn't this a big joke?

But that's fine, just so they can split up logically.

Now that the old lady is gone, after the funeral of the old lady is over, she and Huo Jianfeng will officially separate from them without hesitation. In the future, the well water will not violate the river water, and each will pass its own way.

There is also her father-in-law's pension. This time the old lady has also left, so there is no need to make them cheaper. In the future, the pension of six yuan will be given to the aunt, which will save them a lot of money.

It was getting dark outside.

Ever since Huo Jianfeng came back, he has been kneeling in front of the old lady's coffin, refusing to get up, not listening to anyone's advice. He just said to accompany grandma well and talk to grandma, otherwise there will be no chance in the future.

Han Mingxiu knew that he was uncomfortable, so he let him go. She also wanted to accompany him to kneel in front of the old lady's spirit for a while, but she was afraid that her body would not work, so she had to give up.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the Huo family was still in a mess, and no one ordered food for them. Zhang Shuzhen was afraid that Han Mingxiu and the child in her belly would be hungry, so she asked Wang Wenyuan to take Han Mingxiu back to Sijiawazi first, and let her go home to have a good meal and rest.

As for herself, she will stay here tonight, to help take care of the old lady's funeral, and to take care of Huo Jianfeng...

Although Han Mingxiu had the intention to stay to help, but after all, he had to take care of the one in his stomach. After putting a stick of incense on his grandmother, he went home with his uncle.

The distance between Xiaodongshantun and Sijiawazi is not far from the distance from Sun Aotun. Han Mingxiu decided to go back to her own house. She has a problem with choosing seats and does not like to live in other people's houses.

It was so late that the uncle didn't worry about her leaving alone, so he sent her home.

When I got home, it was completely dark.

The eldest sister was surprised to see Han Mingxiu falling from the sky. When a few children saw the aunt came back, they jumped on her happily, but were stopped by the eldest sister and Wang Wenyuan.

The eldest sister also knew that Han Mingxiu was pregnant. After Han Mingxiu confirmed that she was pregnant, she shared the good news with all her friends and relatives who were close to her. Of course, the eldest sister also knew.

"Xiu, why are you back? Aren't you pregnant? Why are you running back and forth? By the way, it was sent by my uncle, and Jianfeng? Has he come back?"

At the door, Han Mingcui stretched her neck and looked back while asking. Seeing that her sister came back when the lights were dark, it was her uncle who brought it back. Han Mingcui was also full of doubts. I thought my sister and Jianfeng were having a fight and came back by myself.

Seeing the dignified expression on the eldest sister's face, Han Mingxiu knew that the eldest sister had misunderstood, and hurriedly told the eldest sister about the passing of the old lady.

The eldest sister was relieved when she heard that it was not her sister who was having trouble with her brother-in-law.

However, after hearing the news of the old lady's death, she still sighed, explaining that she would go over to express her condolences to the old lady after work.
