The woman was crying, the girl was crying, and the old woman was also crying,
But it seemed that one thing could be seen,
This old woman's popularity in the village should be quite bad,
Up until now.
There was no neighbor who came out to smooth things over,
As for those who followed the trend and helped her scold,
There was none.
On the other hand, everyone was secretly pointing fingers at the survivor who had been pushed to the ground.
They seemed very sympathetic.
Boss Zhou continued to smoke,
He was thinking,
He had already beaten someone up once in the morning,
Could it be that he had to fight again in the afternoon?
But the old woman in front of him..,
Did not look like a criminal.
In the end, he still did not make a move. It was difficult for an honest official to settle a family dispute. It was just a few unpleasant words. If you went up and beat someone up, both sides might blame you. Why bother?
Boss Zhou patted the old priest on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave. The person had already been sent back. As for her family life, what did it have to do with me?
However..,
At this moment..,
The woman who was pushed to the ground..,
Suddenly clutched her chest and began to pant rapidly,
Then, with a sudden "Ka",
She fainted directly!
This time, the villagers who were watching the commotion exploded,
Even the old woman who had been crazily shooting out her mouth like a cannon,
Was so scared that her hands and feet began to tremble,
The granddaughter pounced on her mother,
For a moment,
There were chicken feathers all over the ground.
Zhou Ze closed the car door,
He thought to himself that this woman was really a f * cking troublemaker,
Laozi just got that meager bonus from Old Zhang, and he still had to do good deeds for him. Now, he still had to be a home doctor.
The most terrible thing was that if you died..,
Laozi might have to send you off after I go back to the study room,
I owe you!
The girl grabbed her mother and shouted. There were circles of people around them. The old woman was also grieving and cursed,
"If you want to die, don't die here. If you want to die, don't die here. I still have to hold a funeral for you. I won't do it for you!
It's fine if I do it for my son, but I still have to involve you! "
Zhou Ze was separated by the crowd,
He took a deep breath,
He roared,
"All of you get out of my way, I'm a doctor!!!"
… …
"Daughter, you're awake?"
The woman opened her eyes and found that it was already dark outside. She was lying on a small bed made of cotton wool on several benches in the shed.
The old Daoist stood beside her and watched over her.
Zhou Ze walked over with a bowl of ginger sugar water in his hand and handed it to the old Daoist.
"Come, daughter, drink up."
"Thank you."
The woman did not let the old priest feed her. She took the bowl and drank slowly.
"It's not a big problem, but if you don't pay attention to it or if you continue to drag it out, your body will collapse."
Zhou Ze sat at the side, holding a roasted sweet potato in his hand, slowly peeling it and eating it. It was just sent over by the little girl. It was home-grown, and it was quite sweet.
The old woman, who was the woman's mother-in-law, stopped making a fuss after Zhou Ze told her that it was fine.
At this moment,
It was already night.
The bandits and the monks and Taoist priests who had been hired by the bandits had also left. So had the funeral band and the monks and Taoist priests who had arranged the funeral.
Today was just a warm-up activity.
Tomorrow would be the official funeral.
The neighbors who were watching the fun also left.
At this moment,
Only the old woman was left sitting outside the mourning hall with this small stool, burning paper money.
Her granddaughter was sitting at the table in the mourning hall, doing her homework.
It was so deserted.
It was so bleak.
Normally,
Funerals in the countryside were usually lively, and relatives and neighbors would come to help. But now, it really did not feel lively at all.
It was even more deserted than the funeral parlors and mourning halls in the city.
"Your mother-in-law is very unpopular, right?"
Zhou Ze took a bite of the sweet potato.
Hmm.
Fragrant.
Sweet.
Didn't any relatives or friends come to help with the funeral?
The woman did not answer.
Zhou Ze did not care. He was just a spectator and could not be bothered to pay attention to his words.
"Your husband's family doesn't have any relatives or friends?"
"There's an uncle who is the village chief of this village," the woman replied.
"Oh, and then?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Uncle was greedy for the money to repair the road in the village. Mother reported him to the county government. The village chief was fired, and he went in.
Then, he broke up with his relatives over there. "
"Oh, hehe."
Zhou Ze sucked his finger.
"It seems that your mother's temper is not only crazy about her own people."
"She's actually a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart..."
"Not necessarily. They're all relatives. What's the point of directly suing them?"
After Zhou Ze asked this question, he suddenly felt that it was strange. Although he felt that it was wrong to ask this question, it was clearly the right thing to do.
However, society was like this, and the atmosphere was like this. Sometimes, when you do the right thing, you have to be asked "Why?"?
If one really wanted to talk about it, everyone could tell the story of their village chief leading the entire village to become rich.
"I just couldn't stand it, so I went to sue."
The woman replied.
Alright.
This reason.
It was very powerful.
"Old Priest, go and help. See if there's anything that needs to be changed or tidied up."
"Okay, Boss."
The old priest went over there to get busy.
He had been a white man for many years, so he was very familiar with the organization here.
"What does your husband do?
How did he die? "Zhou Ze asked.
"He … he was a driver. He got into a car accident."
Zhou Ze nodded and stood up. He couldn't be bothered to say anything else.
The old priest was helping with the work. The old woman looked over and immediately stood up. She walked over with a "Teng Teng Teng" sound.
She pointed at Zhou Ze's face.
Before she could say anything,
Zhou Ze felt that a storm was brewing!
"Okay, okay, you've hooked up just like that!
I said why don't you lie in the room?
I said it's because the room is full of smoke and dust.
It's good for her to have ventilation.
I think you want to keep looking at her!
They're really stuck together and can't bear to be separated at all!
"Right?
Kissing me in front of my son's mourning hall is very interesting, right? "
Zhou Ze nodded. "Indeed."
The old woman's chest heaved as she pointed at Zhou Ze angrily.
"Get lost, all of you!
And you! "
The old woman pointed at the woman again.
"Get lost with your lover!"
"Mom …"
"I'm not your mother. My son is already dead. Why are you calling me mother!
I'm not worthy!
Get lost.
Follow your wild man.
Get lost!
But let me tell you, don't even think about taking your granddaughter away. I won't let you take her away!
Get lost, get lost, get lost!
Get lost tonight. Get lost! "
"Cough cough …"
Zhou Ze coughed a few times.
He waved at the old priest who was still busy.
He shouted,
"Old Priest, let's go back."
This house was full of weirdos.
He couldn't be bothered to stay any longer.
Especially this old woman.
It was as if she had used gunpowder. The entire machine gun fired.
The old woman turned around and went into the house. Soon, she came out with a suitcase and shouted,
"I have all your things!
I've packed them up for you. Get lost. I feel disgusted when I see you!
Bastard! "
Just as Zhou Ze opened the car door, the old woman opened the back door and threw the suitcase inside.
Zhou Ze took a deep breath.
Take a deep breath.
Take a deep breath.
"Mom, please, don't do this. Don't do this. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving even if I die!
The pillar is gone. I have to take care of you until you die! "
"Pfft, I don't care. Are you still thinking about my house?
Let me tell you, don't even think about it!
This is a house I built. It's not yours! "
Zhou Ze reached out and dragged the suitcase out. Just as he was about to throw it on the ground and drive away, he saw the woman rush toward the well!
"Damn!"
The old priest immediately pounced over. The old woman was also frightened. She hurriedly ran over. Even her daughter, who was sitting there doing her homework, screamed and ran over in tears.
The woman grabbed the edge of the well.
She cried,
"Mom, if you chase me away again, fine, I'll jump down. I'll jump for you. See if I dare to jump or not!
If I die, I'll die here! "
The old priest grabbed the woman's shoulder tightly. He was really afraid that the woman would turn over and fall down.
Zhou Ze stood at the side and watched this exciting show. He felt that it was quite interesting.
As a mother-in-law, she forced her daughter-in-law to scram.
Her daughter-in-law would rather die than leave. She was really threatening her with death.
Why was it so strange?
"Grandma, can you not chase my mother away? I will go to class obediently. I will study hard. Please don't chase my mother away."
The old woman suddenly sat on the ground.
She crawled to the woman's side.
She gave the woman a beating.
She scolded,
"You Damn Girl, if I tell you to leave, you leave!
You're still young, you're still young!
The pillar is gone. You're still so young. Why are you a widow for him?!
I'll help you take care of your daughter. You'll have one less burden.
Go find another man and live a good life. Why do I drag you down?!
Ah Ah Ah!
Heartless.
Heartless! "
"Mom ~ ~"
The woman hugged the old woman and began to cry together.
The old priest scratched his head.
This was.
Reconciled?
The old priest stood up and walked to Zhou Ze's side.
"Boss, why am I a little confused?"
"I'm a little confused too."
At this moment.
Two vans sneaked over from the small road.
In the middle of the night.
They stopped at the vegetable field, right behind Zhou Ze's car.
Then, more than ten men and women got out. They were all wearing casual clothes.
"Damn, they're not here to mourn, are they? Who would come to mourn in the middle of the night?!"
It was late at night.
They pulled a group of people over secretly.
It really looked like they were looking for revenge.
In the end.
This group of people ran straight to the field and stood in front of the mourning hall in the living room. They stood in two rows.
When they stood,
That standing posture, that neat and tidy posture.
Made Zhou Ze frown slightly.
The old woman wiped her tears and stood up with her daughter-in-law. She led her daughter to the mourning hall and knelt down on the prayer mat to return the greeting.
Two rows.
More than ten people.
One of them was the leader.
He shouted in a low voice.
"Take off your hat!"
The person wearing the hat immediately took off his hat.
"Salute!"
In unison.
They saluted together.
It was a late winter night.
Two rows of people.
They stood there for a long time. They were like stone statues.
On the table in the mourning hall.
The photo of the young man was placed there.
The young man had a smile on his face.
"Boss, why do I feel like the police are here?
They really came to mourn in the middle of the night. They were afraid that they would be seen during the day.
"Why?"
Zhou Ze silently took out another cigarette.
He bit it in his mouth.
He said slowly.
"Drug Enforcement Police."
