FSC [QT] Chapter 72.1

That night, the Kuang family and the Ye family gathered together to discuss Kuang Aijun’s funeral.

A few days ago, the county was going to repair a dam, and a lot of labor was drawn from each production team, based on households.

The Ye family was chosen, so Ye Wu’s father and her three brothers all went to the county.

When the news of Kuang Aijun’s death came yesterday, Ye Wu’s mother, Kong Bamei, happened to deliver clean clothes to several men and took the dirty clothes they had accumulated these days home to wash.

Therefore, when Ye Wu was injured, no one from her natal family showed up.

“My poor daughter!”

Kong Bamei had received the news and rushed back at this time, but Ye’s father and Ye Wu’s three brothers could not take leave at will.

In this day and age, sacrificing one’s own family for the sake of everyone was the mainstream idea. Not to mention that the person who died was just the husband of their married daughter.

Even if it was their own daughter who died, they could not leave the front line of struggle without permission.

Looking at the white gauze wrapped around her daughter’s head, Kong Bamei felt so distressed. If she had known that Kuang Aijun would die so young, she would rather let her daughter marry an ordinary countryman than let her be a widow at such a young age.

It could be seen that people’s hearts were biased. Although the one who died now was her son-in-law, Kong Bamei’s first concern was for her own daughter.

The Kuang family did not care about Kong Bamei’s biased position. Now they just wanted to quickly draft a charter in their grief.

“We received a telegram in the afternoon. The fourth child of the Zhang family should be here tomorrow. He will come back with the Old Second’s belongings. After the funeral, the Old Second’s wife will go to the Military Commission Office with him to collect the Old Second’s pension.”

Old Mr. Kuang was the person in charge. His voice was low, and his tone was slow. It was obvious that he was suppressing his grief.

“The body of Old Second has not been found. When the battlefield was cleared, only his pistol and two fingers left on the pistol were found. The telegram said that Old Second’s comrades helped him to sort out a new military uniform. When the time comes, this uniform will be used to build a tomb for the Old Second.”

“Old Second’s wife, when you go back, please see if Old Second has anything he likes on weekdays. Let it accompany him to the underground.”

At this time, the trend of destroying the four olds had not yet reached this place. Most of the locals were still buried after death, but the funeral was no longer as grand as before.

Instead, a grave was selected, some relatives were invited, and the son or nephew of the deceased held the spirit tablet to bury the deceased, and then a simple meal was eaten.

In addition, the old customs of the first seven days, the fourth seven days, and the seventh seven days were no longer popular.

“Yeah.” Ah Wu nodded.

‘Ye Wu’ had hit her head yesterday and had been lying in the health center all night. Her eyelids had been swollen all day today. In the eyes of the Kuang family, this was a sign of crying all night, so her eyes were swollen.

Therefore, even if Ah Wu did not sob or shed tears at this moment, others would just think that she was too sad and could not shed tears anymore.

“Dad, it might not be a good idea to let the Second Sister-in-law, a newly widowed woman, go to the military region alone with Zhang Youdong.”

Not to mention that those gossipy women outside will make up some bad things to slander the Second Sister-in-law. It’s also worrying to think about the Second Sister-in-law sitting alone on the train when she comes back”

“I think we should ask someone else to go with the Second Sister-in-law.”

Wei Xiaochun’s eyes were extremely lively. She glanced at her Second Sister-in-law who was keeping her head down and not speaking and then glanced at her Eldest Brother-in-law’s family.

“Eldest Brother-in-law and Eldest Sister-in-law have children to take care of, so they can’t get away. When the Second Sister-in-law is not at home, the Eldest Sister-in-law has to take care of Zhuangwa and Baowa.”

“Aidang and I want to help the Eldest Sister-in-law, but we have never raised a child, so we are afraid that we will raise the child badly. So, since Aidang and I are free anyway, why not let me or Aidang accompany the Second Sister-in-law on a trip?”

Wei Xiaochun thought that the Second Brother-in-law sacrificed for the country. Not to mention how much subsidy the country would give, his teammates who survived should also show some appreciation.

If they didn’t go with her, wouldn’t the Second Sister-in-law take all the things for herself?

“Bah, who are you guarding against with this little trick?”
