Xue Ling didn't have time to react from the shock and blurted out: "Sister Cai has her own family and is buried with her beloved husband. Auntie - what is she going to do!"
Both Xue Heng and Xue Huan looked troubled, and neither of them spoke.
"Wait a minute!" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Aunt...could it be that she had a quarrel with Uncle Zhilan? That's why she suddenly divided the property between you? And she said such a thing?"
The two brothers Xue Heng shook their heads in unison: "No... no quarrel, everything looks fine."
"Is it possible that you didn't notice?" Xue Ling still couldn't believe it: "Did Uncle Zhilan say anything?"
Xue Heng whispered: "Mom said, don't let my dad know."
"It was probably a quarrel." Xue Ling said: "I was very angry, so I arranged things like this and talked nonsense. It's okay, we are an old married couple, and our memory is bad. As soon as we turned around, nothing happened."
Unexpectedly, neither Xue Heng nor Xue Huan thought so.
Xue Ling had no choice but to take them to the back garden to discuss with their parents.
After listening to this, the two elderly people were silent for a long time and then wept silently.
"Since she said so, you should start making arrangements."
The three juniors are no longer young people. After hearing what they said, they all realized something one after another. No one said anything, and they were immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate themselves.
Father Xue sighed quietly: "Some people... will know that their time is coming, and they will arrange everything in advance. Some people can't, and leave in a daze, leaving them to the arrangements of future generations."
"Brother and sister, she suddenly made such an arrangement. Of course she has her own reasons." Xue's mother choked with sobs: "She is probably at the end of her life. Just listen to her."
Xue Heng burst into tears when he heard this and whispered: "My mother doesn't want to be buried in the imperial capital... She asked me to go back to the public cemetery in the provincial capital to find a piece of land. She also said that if it's too troublesome, she can be cremated and taken to the cemetery.
I used to find a random temple in the provincial capital to store it. This would save the younger generation from having to travel all the way to worship her during the Tomb-Sweeping Day. After all, we can’t have a long holiday during the Tomb-Sweeping Day, so we run around for fear of not being able to make it in time.”
"We all grew up there." Xue Huan whispered with red eyes: "My mother's relatives didn't move around much. She didn't want to go back to her mother's family, but she pointed out that she wanted to go back to the provincial capital. She probably missed the struggle of her youth.
Let’s have a happy time.”
"I don't think so." Xue Heng slowly shook his head: "She just doesn't want to be too close to her father after her death. She wants to let go completely so that her father can feel relieved and go find the person she loves deeply in her next life."
"This matter... needs to be discussed with Uncle Zhilan." Xue Ling shook his head in disapproval: "This is not a trivial matter, and you can't just listen to auntie. Uncle Zhilan has not failed the family, nor has he failed his aunt. You can't do it behind his back.
Such a decision.”
Xue Heng was extremely embarrassed and said: "But my mother insisted on doing this and asked me to find a quieter cemetery for her when I have time. It's this time, I... I have to listen to her."
"I can't listen." Xue Ling made a decisive decision: "Who doesn't have a little past? Uncle Zhilan and Sister Cai were childhood sweethearts, but fate made them miss each other, and eventually they each found their own happiness. Even if they met later
, we are both affectionate and polite, and have not done anything to regret each other's families. Ask yourselves - have you?"
Both Xue Heng and Xue Huan shook their heads in unison.
Xue Ling sighed softly and continued: "Sister Cai passed away a few years ago. Brother Liao Zongnan now lives with his younger son. He visits her grave every now and then to talk to her. Her sons will definitely arrange for Brother Liao to meet Cai in a hundred years.
Sister and sister are buried together. Auntie abandoned Uncle Zhilan like this. Did she ask for his consent? No one can say for sure what will happen in the next life. Whatever happens in this life will be decided first."
Sister Cai's body and bones have always been weak. Even though Brother Liao took great care of her and took good care of her, she still fell seriously ill and passed away a few years ago.
When she was seriously ill and hospitalized, Xue Ling visited her several times.
Every time she just talked with Xue Ling in a low voice, and did not mention anything about "Xue Zhilan".
Xue Ling originally wanted to tell Uncle Zhilan the news, but seeing Sister Cai herself looking calm and relieved, she suppressed the idea instead.
Sister Cai and Brother Liao have been in love all their lives. They worked hard to start a business together and raised two outstanding sons. Eventually, they had a family full of children and grandchildren, and they happily enjoyed their grandchildren until their old age.
The emotions of youth are beautiful, but if you miss them, you miss them. No one dwells on them, but they are relieved and wish each other happiness.
We are already relieved, so why worry about whether to see each other before death.
Whether they see you or not, whether they want to see you or not, actually doesn't matter to them anymore, relief means relief.
After hearing what his daughter said, Father Xue also felt that it made sense.
"Yes, this matter is not a trivial matter. It is up to her to decide how to divide and arrange the belongings and things around her. But she is the daughter-in-law of our old Xue family and a member of the old Xue family. Old
Could it be that the Xue family's ancestral hall is for decoration? After she is properly buried, a memorial tablet must be set up for her in the ancestral hall. This is the rule of the old Xue family."
"That's right!" Xue's mother also agreed: "No matter who Zhilan was close to in the past or how good she was, she is the daughter-in-law of Zhilan Mingming! According to the rules of the old Xue family, if you live in the same quilt and die in the same cave, you will be buried in the future.
Together. How will others see Zhilan when she does this? Zhilan may feel very uncomfortable!"
"My mother is the one who suffers the most." Xue Heng protested in a low voice: "My father is really the same... How could my mother know about the past things? This matter has always been a knot in my mother's mind. Although she didn't say it.
, but she is very concerned about it. Otherwise, at this time, she would not be thinking about letting my dad find the woman he loves most in the next life."
"What are you talking about?" Xue Ling glared at him and asked, "Is this your father's intention? Huh? He and Sister Cai were childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately they missed each other by fate. Later, they returned to their hometown to retire.
, even if they meet by chance, they are still on good terms with each other and have never done anything to regret each other's families. Auntie has always been secretly concerned about it, but she can't figure it out. "
"No woman can figure it out..." Xue Heng protested in a low voice: "My mother suspects that my father still misses her secretly, but just doesn't let her know."
Xue Ling got angry and loudly said: "Auntie's temperament like this will only make her feel uncomfortable secretly. What else can she get? Her husband has always been hers, and the family has always been harmonious. She has always been grudged about Uncle Zhilan's past.
What can Yu Huai change? Can the past things be changed? It only adds to my sorrow, what else can it be?"
Xue Heng was silent, not daring to refute.
Xue Ling said solemnly: "It is better to cherish the person in front of you than to care about the past. Uncle Zhilan has been in love with her for a lifetime, and has been with her for a lifetime. Those are the things that really exist! Rather than some vague and unrealistic emotions of youth! She
If you can’t twist it clearly, you can’t twist it too?!”
