Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 179 Lin Xiao's Funeral

Li Yuyan put Lin Xiao on the freshly cleaned ground with a mournful face.

The village head tremblingly walked to Lin Xiao's side, seeing her pale as paper face, his eyes turned red involuntarily.

Ma Guihua also came over, seeing the lifeless Lin Xiao, she couldn't help feeling sad, covering her face and crying bitterly.

The eyes of the other villagers were also red.

They watched Lin Xiao grow up.

She led the whole village on the road to prosperity.

It even led them to escape in the flood.

But now, she was lying on the icy ground, without any vitality, and even her breathing was weak, as if she had no vitality.

The village head couldn't help but knelt on the ground, stretched out his trembling hands to touch Lin Xiao's cold cheek, and murmured sadly:

"Son, child, wake up, wake up, open your eyes and look at us, are you really willing to leave us behind?"

The villagers couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Lan Lian, who was sweeping the mud at home, heard the news of Lin Xiao's sudden and sudden death, her pretty face became distorted and ferocious, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

She rushed out of the house in a frenzy, and saw a group of villagers crying around Lin Xiao, she couldn't help shouting:
"Why are you howling, my boss is not dead, he is alive and well, don't cry for me! Do you hear me? Don't cry for me!!"

Her hysterical appearance startled the villagers around Lin Xiao, but no one blamed her. Instead, they all looked at her with pity, as if they were grieving for her.

Seeing the villagers' reactions, Lan Lian froze in place. She stared blankly at the villagers, her eyes gradually dimmed.

She walked towards Lin Xiao step by step, bent down and squatted down.

Looking at Lin Xiao's bloodless face, Lan Lian's heart ached beyond words.

This is the Lin Xiao she knew back then, her Lin Xiao.

How proud, proud, and radiant she was once!
But now, at this moment, she finally realized what it meant to live worse than death.

Lan Lian stretched out her slender and white fingers and gently caressed Lin Xiao's pale cheeks.

It was an admiration almost greedy, and she wanted to touch her like this forever.

Her eyes slowly moved to the cloth band that was wrapped with blood on Lin Xiao's arm, and she recalled that Lin Xiao told her that she had a headache last night, but she didn't think it was because of the wound infection, and immediately regretted it and wanted to bite it. Cut off the tip of your tongue.

It's all my own fault, if I can be more careful, maybe Lin Xiao won't encounter this bad luck.

She lowered her head, teardrops rolled down her cheeks and onto the back of Lin Xiao's hands one after another.

Seeing Lan Lian's painful appearance, the villagers couldn't help but began to cry softly again.

Li Yuyan walked up to Lan Lian full of sadness, and comforted him softly:
"If the head of the family has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely not want to see you like this."

Lan Lian looked up at Li Yuyan, her face was full of tears:

"Sister Yuyan, tell me, all of this is fake, right? You are joking, right?"

Li Yuyan shook his head.

At this moment, Lan Lian's mind exploded, her body swayed, and she almost fell.

She clenched her fists tightly, tears dripping down, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a sad arc.

Seeing Lan Lian's sad appearance, Li Yuyan felt sore in his heart. He walked to Lan Lian's side and supported Lan Lian's crumbling body.

"Be strong, we have to help the head of the family organize a beautiful funeral!"

When Lan Lian heard Li Yuyan's words, she held Li Yuyan's arm tightly as if she had grasped the last straw:
"Yes, we have to organize the funeral. The head of the family likes to be lively, so we have to hold it more grandly, and invite all the dignified people from the nearby villages to let them see our head's final demeanor!"

Li Yuyan nodded.

"That's right! Xiao Linzi must be buried in a grand manner!"

The villagers all expressed their approval.

Seeing everyone's fighting spirit, the village chief nodded in relief.

The village chief looked at Li Yuyan and Lan Lian again, and sighed:

"Don't worry, after the funeral, I will find a way to talk to the government office, and find a way for you two to stay in Lin's Village instead of marrying elsewhere."

This is the only thing that the village head can do for Lin Xiao.

……

Soon, with the help of everyone, every household in Linjiacun hung up white cloths, making the whole village look mournful.

Lan Lian quietly looked at Lin Xiao who was lying motionless on the wooden door covered with a white cloth, tears glistened in her eyes, she kept choking, and the tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Looking at Lan Lian who was so sad, Gao Jin who was standing aside couldn't bear it. He pulled Li Yuyan aside and said in a low voice:
"Why don't we tell her the truth of the matter? Looking at her like this, I'm really afraid that she will do something stupid."

"No, the fish hasn't taken the bait yet, we must not startle the snake, what if the fish runs away?"

Gao Jin thought about it, and felt it made sense, so he stopped thinking, and could only try his best to keep an eye on Lan Lian, lest she do something stupid.

Lan Lian sat quietly beside Lin Xiao, looking at Lin Xiao who was lying on the wooden door and covered with a white cloth, recalling all the past, the teardrops could not stop falling down, she kept using her sleeves Wipe it, but still can't control my emotions.

She never thought that Lin Xiao would leave her completely in this way!

"Look at you, your eyes are red from crying."

Gao Jin took out a handkerchief made of cotton cloth and handed it to Lan Lian. Lan Lian looked at the handkerchief, but didn't take it, but wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Seeing this, Gao Jin took back the handkerchief with some embarrassment, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Lan Lian wiped her tears before looking up at Gao Jin. Seeing Gao Jin staring at her, she coughed a few times to hide the unnaturalness on her face.

"The head of the tall family, thanks to your help in the funeral of the head of my family."

"Lin Xiao and I are fateful brothers, and I should do his funeral."

Gao Jin said, looked at Lan Lian again, and said with emotion:
"Lin Xiao is so lucky to have such a loving wife like you!"

His words made Lan Lian feel even more uncomfortable, she turned her face away, not daring to look into Gao Jin's eyes.

"I'm going to burn paper money."

Seeing this, Gao Jin also knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly changed the subject.

Lan Lian hummed.

Immediately, the two of them got busy.

Lan Lian guarded Lin Xiao, while Gao Jin knelt in front of the brazier and burned paper.

And Li Yuyan, who was still there just now, has disappeared.

……

Suddenly, the courtyard door was pushed open recklessly, and then a man broke in.

When he saw the white cloth all over the room, his eyes lit up immediately, and he walked into the main hall quickly.

Lan Lian looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Isn't this the long-lost Lin Da?

What is he doing here?
