Chapter 34: Promotion and Wealth
Funeral!
The children of the Song family, especially the three daughters, could not cry when the old lady's body was still lying at home, so Zhao Gang even brought someone who was specifically responsible for crying out loud.
It’s no wonder that the mourner was quite professional, and even the children of the Song family choked up with sobs.
Lin Ye was so angry when he saw the spirit of Old Lady Song standing aside. If he hadn't stopped her, the old lady would probably have caused trouble again.
At the end of three days of funeral ceremonies, as the old lady's body was cremated and about to be sent to the cemetery, the old lady's eldest daughter suddenly burst into tears.
"Mom, I will never see you again. I...I won't have a mom anymore."
"My mother's home...my mother's home. If you leave , I won't have a mother's home anymore."
The old lady's other two daughters were also affected by their eldest daughter and stopped the hearse and burst into tears.
After all, they are blood relatives. Perhaps it is because they think of their mother who raised them with great difficulty. Although the old lady has a sharp tongue and often acts like a demon when she is old, she is still their mother after all.
If my mother is gone, it means my mother’s home is gone.
Next time you go home, you will be a guest.
The two sons of Old Lady Song were also wiping their tears, thinking about how their father passed away early and how their mother had worked so hard to raise them. If their mother had not been strong and aggressive, she would have endured a lot of bullying from the neighbors.
Even though the old lady was not on good terms with her daughter-in-law, at this moment she was holding her son's hand with confusion in her eyes.
The mother-in-law who had held my resentment for many years finally passed away. I felt relieved but also confused.
When her mother-in-law was around, she couldn't make decisions on many things. But now that she is really asked to make decisions, she finds many things difficult to handle.
Especially some elders, she felt that she couldn't agree to their requests, but she was a junior and it was difficult to refuse. If her mother-in-law was here...
If my mother-in-law were still around, given her temper and sharp tongue, the elders wouldn't dare to make such a request.
"In fact, your children are still very filial, so go with peace of mind."
Lin Ye looked at Old Lady Song. The old lady looked at her three daughters who were crying together, and her two sons who were wiping their tears. Her body was shaking slightly.
"That old man actually made such a request while I was dead, and my daughter-in-law was taken advantage of for being so useless."
Old Lady Song looked at an old woman standing to one side, her words full of dissatisfaction. Lin Ye's mouth twitched and he said, "Alright, this has nothing to do with you. Children have to grow up on their own, and children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
Old Mrs. Song was still a little unwilling and was muttering something there. Only after Lin Ye glared at her did she shut up.
Lin Ye followed the funeral procession to the cemetery. He looked around and found that many ghosts in the cemetery had come out to watch the fun.
"There's a new guy coming."
"Hey, isn't this the old lady from the Song family? She's finally dead."
"You old thing, do you know how to talk? You deserve to die early, you are a short-lived ghost."
"It's over. Widow Song is here. We won't have any peace and quiet here from now on."
Those who can be found in this cemetery are all locals. Many of them knew Old Madam Song when she was alive. The elderly of their generation are also getting old.
Old Madam Song is worth ten men at once, and those old ghosts can't even scold her. Lin Ye has finally seen what a poisonous tongue is.
Lin Ye was not surprised that there were so many ghosts in the cemetery.
Cemeteries are places where ghosts gather.
Generally speaking, if a ghost is buried by later generations, it can return to the cemetery even if it has gone to the underworld. However, it cannot stay in the cemetery all the time. It still has to stay in the underworld most of the time. There are so many ghosts in the cemetery because there are many graves.
There are thousands of graves. Today, dozens of ghosts come to stroll around. Tomorrow, dozens more come.
However, these ghosts could only wander around the graves and could not leave their own graves too far. Lin Ye watched Old Lady Song's urn being placed and the tombstone being installed. He said goodbye to Zhao Gang and left. However, when he was leaving the cemetery, he was attracted by a child kneeling in front of the grave.
The child was carrying a schoolbag and muttering something in front of the tombstone, which caught Lin Ye's attention because the child came alone.
It is normal to come to the cemetery alone to pay respect to relatives, but it is a bit strange for children.
The boy seemed to sense someone was looking at him, and he looked up at Lin Ye. Their eyes met, and Lin Ye was a little surprised, because he knew this little boy.
The little boy playing football that I met at the lake.
The little boy also recognized Lin Ye. He turned his head away embarrassedly and wiped his tears with his right hand.
Lin Ye looked towards the tombstone. There was a photo of a woman on it. The woman in the photo looked pretty and virtuous. Judging from the date, she had passed away just over three months ago.
"Is this your mother?"
Since they lived in the same community, Lin Ye started to ask.
"Yeah, it's my mom."
"You came alone. Where's your father? "
The little boy was silent. Lin Ye sighed in his heart and had a guess. Since the child could live in that community, his family must be well-off. His mother was dead. According to his father's age, to be honest, that was the happiest age for a man.
I have a child, I have a career, but I’m gone from my wife.
Get promoted, get rich, but your wife dies.
Perhaps it is because of this that the child felt wronged and wanted to go to his mother's grave to express his feelings.
"Don't stay too late."
Lin Ye patted the little boy on the shoulder, gave him a few words of advice and then left. Not long after Lin Ye left the cemetery, a luxury car drove into the cemetery. A young man in a well-dressed suit got out of the car and walked straight towards the cemetery where the little boy was.
"Who asked you to come here alone?"
The little boy turned around and saw his father's stern expression. He shrank his neck, but when he thought that he was in front of his mother's grave, he argued, "I came to see my mother."
"Come back with me, and don't come alone next time."
"No, why can't I come? My mother is buried here. You promised her that you would take good care of me. But it's only been a short time since she passed away, and you found an ugly one. Have you forgotten her?"
The little boy's face was red, tears kept flowing down. The man glanced at the tombstone with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Your mother didn't keep her word. If you dare to come here without my consent again, I will transfer you to another city to go to school."
There was a nanny following behind the man. The nanny looked at the little boy with his neck twisted and his stubborn expression and sighed . When his wife was around, the husband and his family were so loving, but since his wife passed away, the husband has become a different person.
"Young Master, go home and stop making trouble with the Master."
The nanny came over and pulled the little boy's hand. The little boy shook it off a few times, but finally the nanny held on. The man looked at his son, then at the tombstone, and without saying anything, he walked away first.
