Chapter 368 Carrying the coffin through the streets
Chapter 368 Parading the coffin
Song Zhenping was asked to give up his past grudges and go to Mrs. Gu's funeral in mourning.
Disaster!
There are also people from Mrs. Gu's natal family and Gujia Village who are extorting money and causing trouble. Song Zhenping is even less likely to come forward to accept this cowardice.
Song Dekui knew that Daping had grievances, but it was him who had to do the funeral.
In this way, Song Zhenping ran into trouble only after returning to Xiaoshi Village for an hour.
Song Lizheng couldn't understand Song Zhenping, so he looked for an opportunity to explain everything to Yang Hua and asked her to persuade Song Zhenping to bury him.
Although this is a new daughter-in-law, she should not be able to deal with this kind of thing, but judging from how well she dealt with several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, she must be a wise person.
At least what I am saying here is hard for my new daughter-in-law to violate because of her thin skin.
Yang Hua already understood the situation of her husband and wife through the mouths of several women.
When the evil stepmother died, Song Zhenping was not only asked to send money to the stepmother's family, but she was also buried in sackcloth and mourning.
If the stepmother is not taken care of, the matter of relocating the grave may happen again.
The matter was troublesome, but fortunately she had already experienced her parents' funeral at her parents' home, and had also faced difficulties from relatives, so she was not panicking at this time.
After hearing what Song Lizheng said, Yang Hua said: "Master Li Zheng, I will let Daping finish the burial of the stepmother. The only thing is that the Gu family must drive out of the village.
They didn't care before, so now they have no right to gossip.
If the Gu family doesn't leave, I can't guarantee that Daping will still be willing to stay.
The second sister said that if it is not appropriate to move the grave now, then we can do it later, since the grave is right there and will not go anywhere."
Song Lizheng frowned.
Song Liyun is very clever, and both Song Zhenping brothers listen to her.
If this new wife says that Song Zhenping is leaving and will come back later, things here will still be in her own hands.
No, this matter must be resolved quickly.
In addition, we cannot agree to move the grave. Who is willing to separate a branch of the family that is about to become prosperous?
With Yang Hua being soft and hard, Song Lizheng and several clan elders stopped forcing Song Zhenping.
After some discussion among several people, the method of handling was decided.
In the evening, Song Zhenping made a meal using the mutton he brought.
Ask Madam Li Zheng to take some of her daughters-in-law to cook mutton soup, and leave some clan elders to eat together.
Eating mutton and drinking hot mutton soup, all the elders, even those who had only eaten fat meat during the Chinese New Year, were holding their bowls and not letting go.
Song Lizheng was eating a little absent-mindedly, glancing at the door curtain from time to time.
At this moment, Song Erlang raised the curtain and came in. The cold wind instantly made everyone inside shiver.
"Second brother, how are those people doing? Can they handle it?" Song Lizheng asked.
Song Erlang patted the snow foam off his body and said, "It was so cold that they took down the door of Uncle Song's house and burned it."
An elder next to him who was eating meat said vaguely: "Who cares about them? If they want to leave, they can carry them back if they can't help it, and we won't stop them."
"Yes, Mrs. Gu is from the Gu family. What does it have to do with my surname being Song?" Another clan elder put down his bowl and smeared his mouth with grease.
At this time, they seemed to have forgotten that Mrs. Gu was the daughter-in-law of the Song family. Even though the man died and her son was gone, she was still a member of the Song family.
Song Zhenping looked indifferent and waited until the Gu family couldn't bear to leave, then he would deal with Mrs. Gu.
According to Song Lizheng's discussion in the afternoon, the Gu family would guard the coffin to beg for money, and Xiaoshi Village would no longer be a director, leaving it to Mrs. Gu's family to do whatever they wanted.
Anyway, Song Zhenping is Mrs. Gu's legitimate grandson.
Now what does the head of the family say? Song Li is waiting for the Song family members to do whatever they want.
As night falls, the smell of food comes to every house in Xiaoshi Village.
The unfinished pork head meat from the reunion dinner was tumbling in the pot again.
In Song Laoer's courtyard, although there were more than a dozen men and women sitting and lighting fires, it was still terribly cold.
Gu Ergou came out from the courtyard wall with his trousers tied up and two strips of snot hanging from his nose, cursing in his mouth: "What are the Song family doing? Are you just leaving us alone?"
He is Mrs. Gu's maternal nephew. He has a similar personality to his cousin Song Lao Er. He and Song Lao Er often drink heavily in the town, and he also knows that Song Lao Er wants to sell his niece.
I just didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, the last news I got was that Song Laobiao's niece didn't sell it, and instead sent his own daughter to Mr. Xue's house.
Of course he wouldn't be affectionate if he didn't have money to drink. Moreover, Song Laoer went to Gujiacun to borrow money, so he and the Song family stopped communicating.
He only came here three months ago when he got the news that Song Lao Er had received the money, but it turned out to be in vain. He didn't even care about his paralyzed aunt.
However, now that his aunt died in the hospital, Gu Ergou felt that there was another opportunity to extort money.
So he came with some people and took the body and demanded money, asking Xiaoshi Village to pay the money, otherwise he, the nephew of Mrs. Gu, would not be allowed to be buried, which would ruin the reputation of Xiaoshi Village.
However, starting from the afternoon, for some reason, the people from Xiaoshi Village who were still saying nice things in front of me disappeared one by one.
Not only did Song Lizheng never return, even a few clan elders who could speak to him didn't show up.
No one even brought dinner, what are you doing?
Gu Ergou gritted his teeth, rubbed his growling stomach, and said to the other people: "Since the people in Xiaoshi Village don't take us seriously, we will carry the coffin to the Song family ancestral hall and smash it.
Let's see if they dare to hide."
"Yes, Uncle Ergou said it well! Let's carry the coffin around the village!"
"Come on, come on! Get started!"
Mrs. Gu was not an easy person to get along with in her mother's family. This time she died. Apart from her nephew Gu Ergou, the only people who came to Gujia Village to cause trouble were some young people who had been deceived by him and knew nothing.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu died in such a horrific way, these people were furious, and now they were being ignored by the people of Xiaoshi Village. Their anger suddenly surged, and they lifted Mrs. Gu's thin coffin and were about to go out to the village for a parade.
Gu Ergou stood beside him and encouraged him: "Brothers and nephews in Gujiacun, we can't be bullied by the Song family in Xiaoshi Village. Damn it, let the elders of their clan kneel down and kowtow to my aunt!"
"Yes, yes, we carry the coffin and parade through the streets to express our grievances to the aunt who was tortured to death by them!"
A crowd of people started tying wooden poles to the coffin.
During the day, Gu Ergou and the others used this trick to scare people in Xiaoshicun.
It is still the New Year's Day. Mrs. Gu has been vicious all her life, and she is also the murderer who died in the courtyard on New Year's Eve. If this white coffin is allowed to wander around the village, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people of Xiaoshi Village to sleep again.
A few daring half-year-old children were watching the activities in the courtyard from a distance. When they saw the people from Gujia Village clamoring to carry the coffin, they immediately rushed to Li Zheng's house.
After hearing the news, Song Lizheng and others looked at him eagerly.
Song Zhenping's face was ashen, and he stood up with a cry and was about to rush out.
Yang Hua grabbed Song Zhenping's arm, turned to the four guards and said, "Ali, go and block the hospital door and don't lift the coffin!"
Ali and the four others had long known that something was going on. When they heard the order, they leapt onto their horses and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
This neat skill immediately made the people in Xiaoshi Village widen their eyes in shock.
Song Lizheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved to a few strong young men in Xiaoshi Village: "Let the ears of all the capable men in the village stand up. If anyone from Gujia Village comes into the village again, beat them out."
