FSC [QT] Chapter 70.1

“Third Grandma Xu, your Aijun’s wife has woken up and wants to see Zhuangwa’er and Baowa’er.”

The Kuang family was filled with grief. Kuang Aijun’s death was a blow to Ye Wu and his blood relatives as well.

Under such a blow, Kuang Aijun’s parents had no extra energy to take care of their second daughter-in-law who was sent to the health center.

Kuang Aijun’s father was the third child in the family, so he was called Kuang San. Those younger than him called him Third Uncle or Third Master.

The girls from the generation of the old lady’s natal family of the Kuang family basically had no proper names. Most of them were called Ji Niang or Ji Mei according to their order. After marrying Kuang San, she was naturally called by Kuang San’s name.

Now she was already a grandmother, so everyone in the village called her Third Grandma. Third Grandma’s maiden surname was Xu. In order to distinguish her from the third grandmother of other families, she was often called Third Grandma Xu.

“My poor second son… If I had known that sending him to the army would make him die young, I would not have let him go even if he starved to death.”

Since she got the news, Third Grandma Xu had been crying all day. Her tears had dried up and even her throat had become hoarse.

Her second son, who was so young, had never been called Dad a few times by his children. How could he die?

“What nonsense are you talking about? The second son sacrificed his life for the country. He died gloriously. He is the pride of our Kuang family.”

Old Mr. Kuang was also heartbroken.

Perhaps because he often went to rich people’s homes to help build homes, Old Mr. Kuang had a bit more foresight and political acumen.

Those present now were people who were close to the Kuang family, but it was inevitable that there would be a lot of gossip.

His wife felt sorry for her son, so she said such words. Most people could understand, but there was no guarantee that everyone would sympathize with her as a mother who lost her son.

If someone made a fuss about her words and said that the Kuang family was selfish and despised the party and the army, that would be a big trouble.

“I feel so bad.”

Third Grandma Xu paused in her crying, and the next moment, she cried even louder.

“Okay, let Miao’s wife take Zhuangwa’er and Baowa’er over. Aijun’s wife is feeling worse than us now.”

In just one night, Kuang San looked several years older.

You know, before Kuang Aijun got into the accident, the Kuang family had good living conditions, and Kuang San always looked younger than his peers. He was obviously nearly fifty years old, with black hair and vigorous spirit, not much different from a forty-year-old young man.

But now, half of his hair had turned white, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had deepened.

The young wife who came to look after the children on behalf of Ye Wu comforted Kuang San and his wife and then left with the two children who did not particularly understand anything yet. They had just woken up and were still a little confused.

“Aijun is dead. We have to make arrangements for his afterlife, as well as the future of the Second Daughter-in-law and the two grandchildren. We have to plan for him.”

“You—”

Kuang San wanted to ask the old woman if she had ever thought about the Second Daughter-in-law remarrying.

After all, the second son stayed in the army all year round and had few holidays, so he didn’t spend much time with the Second Daughter-in-law.

She was still so young, and no one could guarantee that she didn’t have the idea of ​​remarrying.

But seeing the old woman crying so sadly, he couldn’t ask this question.

Let’s wait a little longer. After the Second Daughter-in-law went to the army to retrieve the second son’s belongings and the second son’s funeral was over, then he would discuss this issue with the old woman.

But just because the two elders of the Kuang family were not in the mood to think about the series of impacts that might be brought about by Kuang Aijun’s death, it didn’t mean that other people in the Kuang family didn’t want to think about it.

The one who was most worried was not Fan Fang, the wife of Kuang Aiguo, the eldest son of the Kuang family, but Wei Xiaochun, the wife of Kuang’s youngest son.

The Kuang family had a total of three daughters-in-law.

Among them, Fan Fang was a girl from Sandaokou next door. Fan Fang’s family had many children in her natal family, and they were the best marriage candidates in this era when the labor force represented family strength.

In particular, Fan Fang’s Uncle was the team leader of Sandaokou. Girls of Fan’s family, as long as they didn’t have major problems, were good candidates for daughters-in-law that every household was vying to marry.

Fan Fang ranked first among the girls of their generation. She had the demeanor of an eldest sister, a lively personality, and was in charge of everything at home and outside.

In the beginning, Third Grandma Xu took a fancy to her at first sight and thought that Fan Fang was a woman suitable to be the Eldest Sister-in-law.

Facts had proved that Third Grandma Xu’s vision was indeed good.

As the Eldest Sister-in-law, Fan Fang was very generous and was not a calculative woman in life.

She had no complaints about the behavior of her mother-in-law who often went to the Second Brother-in-law’s house to help take care of the twins.

She also often magnanimously showed her younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law that it was their duty to help their parents-in-law when outsiders provoked them.

She was a good daughter-in-law praised by everyone in the village.
