80s Raising a Baby

Chapter 382 Chapter 382: Suspected cause of death

Chen Zhongwu nodded solemnly, then walked towards the coffin.

Ye Qian followed behind, a little embarrassed and afraid to go forward.

I saw Chen Zhongwu standing beside the coffin in silence for a long time and asked, "Dad's clothes were worn by you?"

Boss Chen nodded, "I wore it with my second and fourth child."

"I wanted to keep a shoe for you, but we didn't know when you would come back, so we put them all on."

Chen Zhongwu said hoarsely: "Thank you for your hard work."

Boss Chen: "It's all my brothers saying what they are doing."

After Chen Zhongwu finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Zhonglan who was kneeling on the ground, Chen Zhongwen and the crying old lady Chen, turned to Jing Li and said, "Third brother, come and see your master."

After hearing this, Ye Qian immediately grabbed Jing Li's hand. Standing here, she could actually see the situation inside the coffin clearly.

Because it was dropped, it was not good-looking, with sunken eye sockets, and her face was pale and bloodless.

Jing Li patted Ye Qian's hand reassuringly, strode forward, and stood side by side with Chen Zhongwu.

While taking out gloves from his pocket and putting them on, he lowered his head and looked inside, looking very carefully.

Chen Zhonglan on the side looked at it displeasedly and asked, "Third brother, what do you mean?"

"Could it be that you still think that we killed Dad?"

Chen Zhongwu didn't speak, but instead asked, "Where were you the day Dad passed away?"

Chen Zhonglan raised his head and glanced at Chen Zhongwu with a guilty conscience, but remained silent for a long time.

Old lady Chen, who was crying, was taken aback when she saw the movement from their side.

Immediately, she rushed over crying and howling, "Old man, open your eyes and take a look."

"You just died! Your son let your granddaughter touch you."

"Don't be embarrassed!"

"You have been out for so many years, have you ever cared about your father?"

"It's good now, your father just died and you came to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail. Are you trying to kill me?"

Chen Zhongwu just stood there coldly, turning a deaf ear to Mrs. Chen's crying.

Neighbors and relatives who were originally helping out also joined together.

I saw Chen Zhongwu standing aside with a stern expression, and Jing Li was holding a small flashlight in her hand, and she was looking at old man Chen's eyes.

Everyone was astonished when they saw this scene, after all, no one was so bold as to make trouble during the funeral.

On the other hand, Chen Zhongwen couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up to smooth things over and said, "Third Brother, Dad hasn't been buried yet, so it's not the time to talk about it."

Boss Chen at the side listened and persuaded: "Zhongwu, we have to greet the wreaths later, you take your younger siblings to break the filial piety first."

Chen Zhongwu glanced at Boss Chen lightly, but said nothing.

It wasn't until Jing Li straightened up and shook her head at him that Chen Zhongwu said: "The third child kowtows to your grandfather, please forgive me for offending him just now."

After hearing this, Jing Li took off her gloves, put down the flashlight, knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the old man three times.

After kowtowing, she was about to go get the flashlight. Seeing this, Ye Qian hurriedly took out toilet paper from her pocket and wrapped it up for her before letting her put it in her pocket.

Everyone saw that Chen Zhongwu was so serious, but no one dared to speak out.

In the end, Ye Qian took the initiative and said, "Let's go! Let's go find my aunt to break my filial piety."

If anyone of them has a funeral, they will buy a lot of white cloth, find a few aunts from the same family, and sew filial piety clothes on the same day.

After Ye Qian said this, she took the two children and walked out. When the second sister-in-law saw her, she quickly got up from the ground and chased after her.

Just leave Mrs. Chen and Chen Zhongwu and their brothers and sisters in the house.

Because it was old man Chen who had the accident, Ye Qian's filial piety as a child was different from other people's. She needed to hold a stick and tie a hemp rope around her waist.

Chen Zhongwu still wore two pieces of cotton on his hat, while Jing Li and Jing Cheng's hat was much simpler, just like the others.

A few people put on their filial piety clothes at the aunt's place, and began to stand aside and talk.

Mrs. Chen also came over at this time, standing aside and listening to Ye Qian whispering to Mrs. Chen.

Ye Qian looked at Second Aunt Chen and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why our father got there?"

Second Aunt Chen glanced at her surroundings and whispered back: "My mother said I fell."

Ye Qian: "Did it really fall?"

Second Aunt Chen shook her head, "I don't know if it's true, anyway, the eldest brother lost his temper with mother that day and called the second child away. It's the same as now, only their brothers and sisters."

After saying this, Second Aunt Chen teased Aunt Chen again and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know about this?"

Mrs. Chen didn't like to talk in the first place, but after going through that incident again, she doesn't like to talk much anymore.

He just shook his head at them.

Chen Ersao: "Anyway, I think the third child is like that, it doesn't look like he fell."

"Hey! Jing Li, didn't you just look at your grandfather? How is it?" Second Aunt Chen asked Jing Li who came back from washing her hands.

Jing Li replied indifferently: "My grandfather fell."

Second Aunt Chen muttered in disbelief, "I really fell."

Jing Li: "Yes."

Just when Mrs. Chen wanted to ask something, she heard a sudden earth-shattering cry from outside, and several elderly people walked in supporting each other.

When Aunt Chen saw her, she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and greeted her.

Second Aunt Chen also pulled Ye Qian when she saw it, and motioned her to follow.

As soon as the two parties met, Mrs. Chen led them to kneel down.

The people who came were old man Chen's elder sister and younger sister, who were their elders.

When the old people saw Mrs. Chen and the others, they immediately bent down to help them up, and then cried again.

The cries here also alarmed the people in the house, and when they entered the house, the inside had returned to calm.

At this time, Chen Zhongwu was kneeling with Boss Chen and the others, returning the salute.

Ye Qian followed Mrs. Chen and the others to kneel on the other side.

Jing Cheng followed Chen Zhongwu, and Jing Li followed her.

Not long after, Jing Cheng came over and whispered to Ye Qian, "Mom, I'll pick up Jing Hui and Jing Yue."

Ye Qian: "Okay, slow down on the road, we don't drive, you let Zhiyong go with you."

Jing Cheng: "Okay."

Seeing that Jing Cheng had left, Second Aunt Chen asked, "Are all your children back?"

Ye Qian: "Yes."

Second Aunt Chen: "Oh."

After Jing Cheng left, they started to get busy again, returning salutes and laying wreaths, anyway, they kept crying and kowtow.

During this period, Jingli has been with her all the time. After staying in the countryside for so long, Ye Qian also understands these procedures, so she took Jingli and said, "Go home later and open the windows for ventilation. You guys go back."

Jing Li looked around and saw that there were not many people in the mourning hall, so she nodded in response and slowly backed out.

When Jing Cheng took Jing Hui and Jing Yue back, it was noon, and seeing young guys coming in, relatives who were not familiar with them all curiously asked the people around, "Whose family belong to these two?"
