Wang Gang had full authority to handle Xie's mother's funeral, but Xie Meilan was too sad to do anything.
Shen Lin and Na Wei ran over to help, and the child was temporarily taken care of by a nanny.
?Father Shen and Mother Shen lived far away and could not come over in time, so they had to wait until the day of the burial.
Wang Gang found a professional funeral company and spent 20,000 yuan to hold a simple but unconcise farewell ceremony. There was basically no need to worry too much about the entire funeral. The only thing Wang Gang had to do was to keep an eye on Xie Meilan.
Xie's mother's last wish was to be buried at sea, but Xie Meilan refused to agree to anything, so the matter at the cemetery was delayed. After Xie's mother was cremated, her ashes were temporarily stored in the funeral parlor.
On the day of the farewell ceremony, Na Wei not only came over to help, but also called his younger brother Na Juan and his girlfriend Li Xiaoyue over.
Na Juan is a programmer in a large factory with an annual salary of one million, making more money than Na Wei. However, he is very busy at work and often works overtime. He sleeps in the company at least four days a week.
Li Xiaoyue is Jun's girlfriend. She is almost thirty years old, but there is no trace of being polished by society and she still maintains a youthful atmosphere.
"Shen Lei, Meilan, I'm sorry, my aunt doesn't want to see you in such a state of despair." Na Juan consoled her.
Na Juan took out an envelope and stuffed it into Wang Gang's hand. Wang Gang touched it and saw that there should be five thousand yuan.
"I still have something to do at the company and will be leaving in a moment. If you need anything here, just tell me." Na Jun said politely.
"Thank you." Wang Gang nodded.
Li Xiaoyue touched her boyfriend's arm with some dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you ask for leave? Let's leave after the farewell ceremony!"
Na Juan said: "There is a bug in the company, I have to rush back."
Li Xiaoyue asked: "Is there no one else in your company?"
Na Juan glanced at Wang Gang and said awkwardly: "The team led by me is responsible for the procedures. Many things cannot be solved without me."
Wang Gang stood up and said: "Well Juan, if you have something to do, go and do it!"
Na Juan was just Na Wei's younger brother, and he had never met Xie's mother. Logically speaking, there was no need for him to show up at Xie's mother's funeral. It was quite interesting to be able to come and say hello and give him a five thousand gift.
Although Xie Meilan was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything.
After Na Juan left, Li Xiaoyue kept apologizing to Wang Gang and Xie Meilan, feeling very embarrassed.
"Xiaoyue, it's okay, you can leave first if you have something to do."
"I'm fine, I'll stay and see if I can help." Li Xiaoyue volunteered.
Wang Gang looked at his sister Shen Lin and said to Li Xiaoyue: "Then you go to my sister's place!"
"Okay." Li Xiaoyue went directly to Shen Lin.
Shen Lin was laying wreaths and handling elegiac couplets with people from the funeral company, and Li Xiaoyue happened to be helping.
"Sister Lin, let me help you." Li Xiaoyue directly helped Shen Lin pick up the wreath, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
Shen Lin also likes Li Xiaoyue very much, without any false politeness.
"Xiaoyue, please help me hang the elegiac couplet on the wreath."
"Good luck." Li Xiaoyue hung up the elegiac couplet quickly.
The two worked together and quickly decorated the mourning hall, which looked grand.
Shen Lin gave Li Xiaoyue a bottle of water and asked, "Are you tired?"
Li Xiaoyue smiled heartily and said: "I'm not tired. I used to move more than a dozen boxes of goods in the company without feeling tired."
"After the ceremony is over, you and Na Juan come home for dinner, and Shen Lei and Xie Meilan will also come over then." Shen Lin said.
"Sister Lin." Li Xiaoyue glanced at Wang Gang, who was accompanying Xie Meilan, and said, "I heard that when auntie left, only Shen Lei was with her."
Shen Lin suddenly turned cold and said unhappily: "This time Xie Meilan's mother was sick, and my brother has always taken care of her. Xie Meilan worked all day long, and she was still on a business trip the day her aunt left."
Li Xiaoyue said in surprise: "Xie Meilan seems to love her mother very much! How could this happen?"
"Humph." Shen Lin said with resentment: "My younger brother is also honest. My son-in-law has done all the work for his son. Otherwise, how could Xie Meilan be so relaxed?"
"It's not easy for Shen Lei." Li Xiaoyue sighed.
"That's right! Xie Meilan's mother got sick, and my brother lost a lot of weight."
Shen Lin has always been dissatisfied with Xie Meilan, her sister-in-law. She always feels that she is not sensible and does not care about her own mother's affairs. Instead, she makes Wang Gang, her son-in-law, busy.
After all, Shen Lin also felt sorry for her younger brother, but in order to ensure the happiness of her younger brother's marriage, she never dared to express it, so she complained in front of Li Xiaoyue.
Before the farewell ceremony, Xie Meilan's leader Lu Jie ran over and stuffed a large envelope into Xie Meilan's face.
"I am sorry for your loss."
Xie Meilan burst into tears as soon as she saw Lu Jie and was so sad. If Wang Gang hadn't pulled her, she might have fallen into Lu Jie's arms.
Lu Jie didn't leave until the farewell ceremony was over, and Wang Gang took Xie Meilan into Na Wei's car.
"I don't want to eat dinner, I want to go home." Xie Meilan said to Wang Gang in a low voice.
"You haven't eaten well for several days, so eat more! My sister asked the nanny to make some vegetarian dishes." Wang Gang advised.
"I really can't eat anymore, so I just want to take a nap." Xie Meilan said with a serious face.
Shen Lin and Na Wei, who was driving, looked at each other and said to Xie Meilan: "Meilan, if you are tired, go home and rest first. I will ask Shen Lei to bring some food back later. If you are hungry, you can heat it up."
Xie Meilan didn't say anything and acted very rude, but Shen Lin saw that she had just sent her mother away and didn't say anything.
Na Wei first drove Xie Meilan home, and then the four of them went back to Na Wei and Chenlin's place for dinner.
At the dinner table, Wang Gang took two bites of rice and said to his sister: "Sister, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's wrong?" Shen Lin asked doubtfully.
"I want to divorce Xie Meilan." Wang Gang said in shock.
Clang.
Li Xiaoyue lost her grip on her rice bowl and dropped it on the dining table.
"Ah, why do you suddenly think of divorce?" Shen Lin said in surprise.
Wang Gang glanced at Li Xiaoyue and said: "Xiaoyue is not an outsider. I will say some things directly. I think Xie Meilan and I have too different personalities and we really can't get along."
Shen Lin worriedly said: "You and Xie Meilan have known each other for more than ten years, and now you are saying that your personalities are incompatible."
Na Wei also said: "Shen Lei, Xie Meilan just lost her only relative, it's not very good for you to file for divorce now!"
"Yes." Shen Lin advised: "Xie Meilan has a bad temper during this period because of her mother's affairs, but it is not incomprehensible. You have been married for so many years, and it is unkind for her to file for divorce when she is most sad. !”
Wang Gang sighed and said: "It is because of my mother-in-law that I have endured until now. I was planning to divorce Xie Meilan after the funeral. I would like to say hello to you today."
Shen Lin frowned and said, "Is there really no room for change?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "While we are still young and have no children, it would be best for both of us to break up."
Na Wei stared at Wang Gang seriously and asked: "Shen Lei, tell me honestly, are you alone outside?"
Shen Lin put down her chopsticks angrily and said to her husband: "Na Wei, don't talk nonsense, my brother is not that kind of person."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, don't you know who I am?"
Na Wei reassured: "That's good, but I still want to advise you to be careful about the divorce. It's hard to explain to your parents."
"Yes! My parents also said that on the day Xie Meilan's mother was buried, they came from her hometown to see her off for the last time. We still have to discuss the divorce with our parents!"
Wang Gang sighed in his heart, understanding that divorce is not only a matter for two people, but also a matter for two families.
