Volume 1 Chapter 70 Second Mother-in-law
When I saw her reaching out her hand, I quickly took off my gloves and went over to hold her hand. She glanced at me, said nothing, held my hand, and stood up from the chair.
The woman's legs were obviously damaged, and she could only stand with my support. She said to me, "Help me go over and take a look."
I answered and helped her over. She was quite tall, but very thin, so she didn't weigh much. I opened the shroud, and she took a look and said, "Push it over."
This probably means we have passed the test.
The woman glanced outside the door and said, "Help me walk outside."
Since my boss has spoken, how can I, a new kid, not be diligent? I quickly helped her out. It was the height of summer these days, with the sun shining brightly and the sky as blue as a thousand miles. Although the sun was very , it seemed as if there was a layer of gauze inside the funeral home, and even the sunlight did not seem so dazzling. It did not feel hot at all, but rather a little cool.
"The weather is pretty good." The woman glanced at the sun above her head. Although she had a head full of white hair, she did not look very old . But when she spoke, there was always a sense of oldness in her voice.
I said yes, the weather has been good recently, second sister, you should go out more often.
The woman said, "My legs and feet are not in good condition. I can't walk anymore."
I immediately said, "I'm here. If you want to go out, just call me." I really meant what I said. The woman was lying in the room, lifeless, like a corpse. It was really pitiful.
The woman glanced at me, and a strange smile appeared on the corners of her pale mouth: "Are you sympathizing with me?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I wondered if this woman could read minds and know this. I quickly said, "I think my second sister is very kind and capable, and I admire her very much."
The woman smiled coldly and said, "I am an old woman who can't even walk. How can you see how powerful I am? Not to mention being kind, you little brat are really good at telling lies."
I secretly thought that this woman was really hard to deal with. However, I had suffered enough at the hands of that damn woman Qingzi during this period of time, and I had also gained some experience. Although the woman in front of me was powerful, she was still not as powerful as Qingzi.
He said calmly, "Although my second sister didn't do anything, anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
The woman said expressionlessly, "You little brat, you think you have good eyesight? Then tell me what the reason is."
I asked, "In our funeral home, besides me, are the boss and Sister Yanzi all very powerful people?"
The woman nodded and said, "Boss Ma and his gang were very famous many years ago."
I just said that casually just now. I didn't expect that Boss Ma, Yan Zi and others were really famous figures. I don't know where they came from and why they are now hiding in a small, shabby funeral home.
Without thinking too much, he said, "That's it. I knew it the moment I entered the second sister's dressing room yesterday. From the eldest brother to the sixth brother, they all respected you very much and didn't even dare to speak too loudly. Since they are all powerful people, the second sister must be even more powerful to make them respect her so much!"
When the woman heard this, she sneered and said, "Is this respect or fear? But you are right, little brat."
I heard her calm tone and she didn't seem angry, so I asked boldly, "Second sister, what's wrong with your legs? Is it rheumatism? We have too much yin energy here, so it's easy for joints to be damaged."
The woman glanced at me, narrowed her eyes, and said, "It's really awkward to hear you, little brat, calling me Second Sister all the time. From now on, call me Second Mother-in-law."
I was stunned for a moment. Although the woman had white hair and did look like an old woman from behind, I couldn't call her that because of her appearance.
"How about I call her Second Aunt?" I thought of a compromise. In the past, when I met older women in the village, I would call them Second Aunt, Third Aunt, etc.
The woman glared at me and said, "I told you to call me Second Granny, so you should call me Second Granny. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Second Aunt, that sounds so ugly."
I heard her tone was cold, but I had to agree. Anyway, it was her business if she was called old. She liked being called grandma, so she could be called grandma.
In fact, after walking a few steps outside, the second grandmother waved her hand and asked me to help her back to the house. I said that the weather was good now, why not take a walk again. She didn't say anything, so I had to help her back. When she went in, she lay down on the rattan chair again, closed her eyes and didn't move.
I stood there and saw her white hair in the darkness. She didn't move for a long time. She really looked like a corpse, full of death and decay.
I went out, closed the door gently, and went to the storage room to find Yan Zi to ask about Zhang Huifang's clothes. Along the way, I was thinking about what kind of person this second mother-in-law is. Not only is she different from normal people, she is even incompatible with people like Ma Lao Da.
When they arrived at the storage room, Yan Zi did not sleep in the coffin, but wiped the urns on the shelf one by one with a cloth. Her careful and meticulous look was very different from her usual impetuous temperament, as if these urns were her treasures.
I walked into the room and said, "Sister Yan Zi, you're not asleep yet?"
Yan Zi looked up and saw it was me. She curled her eyes and said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep after I came back. What happened? Did you get scolded by your second sister?"
I smiled and said, "No, Second Grandma has gone to bed. I came to ask what to do with Zhang Huifang's clothes?"
Yan Zi was stunned for a moment, put the cleaned urn back to its original place, and said in surprise: "You call Second Sister Second Mother-in-law? You are quite brave, little devil!"
I said, "No way, she asked me to call her that."
Yan Zi said "Oh", looked at me for a few times, and said, "That's quite strange. Our second sister has a very strange personality. You have to be careful and don't make mistakes in front of her."
I said, "She looks quite young, but her hair is a little gray. What's going on?"
Yan Zi said seriously: "Don't ask her questions. If she gets angry, no one can save you!"
I said no, the second mother-in-law seemed quite kind. At least judging from what happened yesterday and today, although she spoke a little coldly, she still had a good temper.
Yan Zi sneered and said, "Pretty kind? That's because you haven't seen her lose her temper! I'm telling you, it's best to talk less in front of her, and don't talk if you can."
I heard Yan Zi say that it sounded scary, but I still didn't believe it in my heart.
"Okay, I won't tell you this anymore. Just remember what I said and stay away from her if nothing happens." Perhaps because she was afraid of scaring me, Yan Zi said with a straight face, then smiled and said, "Zhang Huifang's clothes are in the dressing room. I'll take you to get them. "
After returning from the dressing room with clothes, she wiped Zhang Huifang's body with clean water, changed her clothes, and put on makeup again. When everything was ready, it was already afternoon. She hadn't eaten anything since morning, and her stomach was growling with hunger.
The people in the funeral home are all nocturnal , so basically no one eats during the day. I found the kitchen, but didn't find anything to eat. I saw some noodles, so I added water and boiled a bowl of them and ate them. I was a little bored after finishing the work at hand. I went to the morgue to find Shou Zhugan. I originally wanted to take advantage of the time now to clean up the remaining male corpse, but after going there, Shou Zhugan said that the corpse should not be moved for the time being.
I had no choice but to withdraw. In this funeral home, it was always deserted during the day. I could only find a place under the big mulberry tree at the door of the corpse dressing room, lie down there and sleep. I couldn't help thinking that the business was too bad. If it continued like this, how could I pay the wages?
It was not until around five o'clock in the afternoon that Boss Ma came out to find me and told me that I had done a good job and that I could leave on my own if I had nothing to do in the future and could go home if I wanted.
I saw that it was getting late, so I didn't hesitate. I went into the house, got my bag, said goodbye to my second grandmother, and left the funeral home. I happened to buy some groceries on the way home. While eating, I told Qingzi about my first day at work in a vivid way, but the dead woman just said "hmm" coldly, "Next time, put less salt in the loofah."
I cursed in my heart, you will get burned, come next time!
After being treated like this by her, I lost interest in talking and just focused on eating.
