Chapter 339 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (39)
"But the situation is urgent now. Sister Er has lost all her wealth."
"Who can be blamed for this? It was her son and daughter who released the person. If things really don't work out, she can borrow money like Xier did. Besides, she has an older sister who has the same father as her. It's not like all her family members are dead."
"Brother, why are you talking so harshly?"
"I just said that this old man was annoying when he was alive, and he is still so troublesome after his death. It's unlucky."
"Hey!" Gu Da sighed, looked at Gu Yuxi, and said, "Sister, we are women, and it is not the men's job to be the head of the family. If it really doesn't work out, you can provide a piece of land to bury grandpa, and we will pay for some things."
"Big sister, do you think I'm so easy to fool? The old man paid for two plots of land for each of you, and my family got nothing. Now you want me to give up the land? No way."
The woman looked at Gu Er and continued, "My sister said that if you arrange the old man's funeral, the other party can bless the family. You need it now. If the adulterer comes again someday, he may show up to bless you."
"Bah, Gu Yuxi, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Second father, that's what my sister just said. I think it would be more practical to let the old man be buried in the land he bought after he dies. If he is buried at my place, I'm afraid he would be unhappy and the coffin lid would break."
"You... Gu Yuxi, you really have no conscience. Will you still be so ignorant of etiquette when an elder in your family passes away?"
"Second father, now I only have an old man like your father. Could it be that after you ascend to heaven, your two daughters will not be able to take care of your funeral affairs, and you will need me to bury you?"
Hu Zhaomei pointed at Gu Yuxi's nose and said, "I would rather be buried in a pile of mud than have you bury me."
"Oh, that's it. If it doesn't work out, you two can divide it this way. One of you will bury the old man now, and one of you will take care of your funeral affairs in the future."
"I think Miss Da's suggestion is a good one. Let's write a document this time to prevent the person behind us from cheating."
The clan leader didn't want to continue this farce because the government's coroner had arrived and the matter had been settled, but the people in the next yard had not yet discussed it. It was really embarrassing for a large group of people to discuss the burial here.
"You guys go and see how the officials handled it just now."
"Oh!"
After leaving Gu Yuxi's house, a group of people began to gather in front of the courtyard gate of the second room, listening to the coroner's examination: "The head was injured by a weapon, and the injuries on the legs..."
"Okay, the suspect is still on the run, we here at the government office will help you find him."
"Thank you, my Lords."
"It's a small matter, but your Fengzhu Village is going to be famous again this time, so make good arrangements for the deceased's funeral."
"I'll see you off."
After seeing off the government officials, the clan leader, village chief and others began to make arrangements.
"Gudagul, the eldest lady buried your mother before, and this matter was agreed upon in front of us, so the old man's affairs are yours."
"Now the old man needs to be buried in peace in time. Do you two want to pool your money together to do it, or do as the eldest lady just said, one person does it for grandpa and the other does it for future father?"
Guda and Guer were suddenly in a dilemma. Now the eldest wife had been completely cleared of the blame for this matter. Guer remained silent and looked at Guda.
Guda naturally knew Gu'er's character: now she had a lame leg and was listless all day long, and her father was as biased as the old man. Why not learn from Gu Yuxi?
Anyway, the old man is buried, and Hu Zhaomei's family will have nothing to do with him in the future, so that she doesn't have to take care of herself when she gets sick.
"Chief, we can bury one in the eldest house, and the rest will be arranged by my younger sister."
"Sister, you also know that I didn't..."
"Just because there is none now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. We in the eldest branch don't want to bury them together. You can choose whether to bury grandfather or bury father in the future."
How could Gur not know what the eldest wife was planning? How much they looked down on her. It was just a burial for an old man. She would just spend a few copper coins to hire someone to dig a hole in the ground and bury this unlucky thing.
Seeing that Guda is not as easy to control as before, she can take care of her father so that her father can help her with work.
"Sister, you know I'm short of money right now, and the bad guys are still at large. Only your family can handle Grandpa's affairs, and I will be responsible for Father's affairs in the future."
"Okay, everyone, be a witness. Gur will be responsible for my father's burial in the future. Now I would like to ask everyone to help discuss my father's retirement. My two sisters and I have previously discussed that the two elderly people can eat for a month, but you know the situation of the second family."
Guda naturally saw the relieved look in her father's eyes. It showed how much he disliked their eldest son. He never helped with farm work but was very active in eating.
"Sister Da, just tell us what you want to say. We will make a decision for you."
"I think once a month might be a mess. Can you guys help me check and ask my father if he is willing to have one family a year, or if we should convert the money into a big house."
When Gu Er heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly advised his father: "Father, if you have silver, you won't have to worry about having no food to eat in the future."
"This……"
"Grandpa used to get a lot of silver from the eldest wife to support his old age. Although my sister doesn't have much, she still gives the basics to the elderly in your village."
Hu Zhaomei, who had endured going without food for a while, was moved. Her youngest daughter was independent and it would be right to listen to her.
"Okay, Daer, Daddy doesn't want to trouble you young people, so how about this? You just follow the retirement standards of the elderly in the village."
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh and blood, and he can't make things too difficult for his eldest daughter.
Seeing that the father and daughter were acting like this, Guda had no hope left, so she quickly asked the clan leaders to help her calculate: "Clan leaders, according to the standard of our Fengzhu Village, an old man should be paid 100 coins a year, but my sister also has responsibilities."
"Indeed, Sister Er also has the obligation to support the elderly. Your father is now forty-one years old, two months away from forty-two, so let's start from forty-two."
"Your father will be sixty years old, and we will calculate it separately when the time comes. Each person will be nine years old, and your family will pay nine hundred coins."
Guda thought that this man was her father, so she said, "Let's calculate it this way. I will give my father nine hundred coins, but we will not be responsible for the rest. We will calculate after he turns sixty."
"Okay, this doesn't even include the firewood, just give me the money!"
Gu Dafulang was furious. This father-in-law had always been torturing him and was still torturing his money. If he hadn't been smart and secretly learned how to pick herbs from Zhou Shenyun, and hadn't been lucky enough to get a Ganoderma lucidum worth ten taels, he wouldn't have been able to live like this.
"Okay, father-in-law, don't go around telling people about how unfilial our first wife is. The second wife won't give you that much money for your retirement."
"As a man, don't say these things. I understand these principles, too."
