The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 78 Zhang Family's Account Book
At the door of Zhang’s house, there was a wooden board with the deceased’s birth date pasted on a white paper, and a white couplet pasted on a low door opening. There was an inexplicable sense of gloom when the wind blew in from outside.

Walking into the yard, I saw several people in white mourning clothes walking back and forth. The old lady of this family has three grandchildren, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Zhang Wanqiu.

There were not many people in the village, and there was a coffin in the corner of the yard, covered with some straw, and a red rooster tied to it, flapping its wings non-stop.

In the kitchen, Zhang Wanqiu's woman was steaming steamed buns. Wearing an apron, she was picking up a basket of steaming steamed buns and putting them on the stool by the window.

There were also two women, both Huang Yuehua's sister-in-law, who came to help. One was cutting vegetables on the chopping board, and the other was sitting on the stove door to cook the pot.

Angrily, Zhang opened the door curtain of the West Room, and found that apart from a few grandsons wearing filial piety hats eating head to head, the man lying on the kang must be Zhang Wanqiu.

"Get up, tell me, why did my mother hang herself, you should explain to me clearly."

Zhang's strength is really great, she pulled Zhang Wanqiu up immediately.

Zhang Wanqiu was very angry. He had just laid down and hadn't closed his eyes yet, but he was picked up blah blah, who wouldn't be angry?

"Xiaxia, you are a married daughter now. Even if your mother is dead, if you pour water, you will be filial. Just crying twice is enough. Why do you ask so much?"

Zhang's breathing became a little uneven, and she pushed Ning away, pulled Zhang Wanqiu and scolded: "How can you say such a thing, no matter how you say it, I am also mother's daughter, mother is so inexplicable No more, don't I even have the right to ask?"

"What are you asking? You are not qualified. If you are old and can't figure out how to die, what can I do? It's like this, and I spend money if you want to kill me. Look, I hired someone to dig a hole, buy a coffin, and now The mourning hall we set up and the people who help these people don’t need to spend money? Could it be that you want to share the cost with me?”

Yu Maimai really couldn't stand it anymore. How could such a person be the son of the old lady of the Zhang family?

She pulled Mrs. Zhang over immediately: "What's the matter, you are still not your mother's biological son, and now everyone in the village is listening to you when you say such rebellious words, this old lady hangs herself like this Dead, I heard that a few days ago, my daughter-in-law pushed me down on the stove door and gave me a fire stick, now, how did the old lady hang herself so well?"

Yu Maimai's words immediately shocked the surrounding people, and they began to discuss.

"That's right, the old lady of this family has not had a good day for so many years. Why did she hang herself suddenly? Could it be that if something happened, how could she hang herself?"

"That's right. A few days ago, when I went to the field, I happened to see Mrs. Zhang arguing with her daughter-in-law. This kid was carrying a shovel. I don't know what the mother-in-law said. This daughter-in-law actually I beat the old lady with a shovel, but fortunately there was a sheep herder in the village, and he stopped when he saw it and yelled."

Yu Maimai suddenly stirred up everyone's discussion, but Huang Yuehua, who was standing in the yard, was in a hurry and stepped forward to tear Zhang Shi apart.

"It's not up to you, a woman, to take care of my family's affairs, you stinky woman, and you brought your old man here, what's the matter, you married an old man, and you're still pissed off, take care of my family It's time to get busy, who are you?"

This Huang Yuehua is really crazy. Not only does she not pay attention to Mrs. Zhang, but she even throws insults at Yu Maimai, and even exposes and humiliates Yu Maimai.

Yu Maimai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she patted her chest and said: "Listen everyone, I sent papers to my in-laws, and my eldest daughter-in-law's mother is gone, what about me, a mother-in-law?" , I can’t come anymore, could it be that you have done something shady, I’m leaving my words here in front of the whole village today, since everyone suspects the cause of the old lady’s death, then, I think we should find someone The coroner will come for an examination. Otherwise, if you just bury the old lady in such a muddle-headed way, do you think the unjustly dead person will stop like this? Not to mention that the family will not stop, even the people in this village will suffer. "

Li Zheng stood up and nodded, "You're right. If that's the case, I think it's still necessary to invite a coroner to conduct an autopsy on this matter. I believe that the old lady will be able to understand our intentions in the spirit of heaven."

This move made the two members of the Zhang family anxious, Zhang Wanqiu hurried forward, changed the domineering and domineering just now, and said politely: "Auntie, look, you and my mother have been together for so many years There is no more contact, now that my mother is gone, it doesn't matter if you came with my sister, it's better not to get involved in this matter, let my mother go to the ground as soon as possible."

Huang Yuehua stepped forward, crying and said: "How can this be done? She is already in her tens of years, and she still needs to be covered up. I said Xiaxia, how can you be so cruel? Think about how your mother is doing on weekdays." For you, you actually did such a thing, wouldn't it make my mother chill?"

In the countryside, if a woman dies, her natal family will naturally come out to speak. The nephew of the old lady Zhang stood up, took Yu Maimai's hand and said, "I see, you belong to my sister Xiaxia." Mother-in-law, you can stand up and stand up for my aunt to be fair, we as the mother's family are very grateful to you, my aunt can't just be buried like this!"

With the appearance of her natal family, the funeral of Mrs. Zhang came to a halt. Lizheng and the whole village stood up and agreed with Yu Maimai's proposal.

Huang Yuehua pulled Yu Maimai over and gave her a bag of money: "I hope you don't mind this matter, since the person is dead, we can just bury the dead smoothly, why bother to give birth to such a branch?"

Yu Maimai said with a smile: "Oh, what an embarrassment. I came here to see off your mother-in-law, but I didn't expect to take your money. I'm really embarrassed."

Huang Yuehua stepped forward and held Yu Maimai's hand, with a smile on her face: "Auntie, what are you talking about? Since you are Xiaxia's mother-in-law, there will be more opportunities for us to see each other in the future. Please ask Auntie about this matter." Let's deal with it, don't let the autopsy, Shun Lin's burial, okay?"

Yu Maimai picked up the money in his hand and shook it in front of everyone: "Everyone, look, this woman clearly has a ghost in her heart, otherwise, why would she try her best to give me the money and let me deal with it, Let the old lady be buried quickly?"
