Chapter 119 I am her sister!
Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly said:
"You are talking nonsense, Liu, you are talking nonsense! I will beat you to death, Liu. How could my sister have such a heartless daughter-in-law like you? My sister is gone, and today I am here to teach you a lesson on her behalf, you heartless little bastard!"
As Liu Po was about to raise her hand to hit Liu's face, Jiang Yuwei, who was standing by, grabbed Liu Po's arm and pushed her back hard:
"Where did you come from, you crazy woman? How dare you come to our Ningjia Village and make trouble? Do you really think there is no one left in our Ningjia Village?"
The villagers who were watching on the side heard what Jiang Yuwei said and started to speak:
"That's right, that's right, don't you see what day it is and why are you making such a fuss here?"
"Grandma Sun didn't die peacefully!"
"Where did this fake sister come from?"
After hearing what everyone said, Aunt Liu beat her chest in anger, pulled the old man next to her and pointed at him and shouted:
"This, this is someone from our Sunjia Village. When my sister got married, it was he who brought the dowry. He can prove that my sister is my sister and I am my sister's younger sister. Or you can send someone to Sunjia Village to ask around and you will know. What do you think, Old Sun? Speak up!"
Old Sun glanced at Liu Po, then looked around at the people in Ningjia Village and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, I know, Liu Po is her sister!"
Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and said with a smile:
"I don't believe it. Besides, if Grandma Sun was really your biological sister, how could you bear to let her body lie on the kang and not rest in peace before her death? Anyway, I don't believe your bullshit!"
Aunt Liu was so angry at Jiang Yuwei's words that she hiccuped:
"Hiccup... You, you make me so mad, hiccup..."
Seeing that this old lady was speechless due to anger, Jiang Yuwei pushed her away:
"Don't disturb the dead here!"
After saying that, he looked at Liu:
"The funeral can begin now. Have you bought the coffin?"
Liu nodded and looked at Jiang Yuwei gratefully:
"Yes, I asked the head of the village to go to town and buy it for me. It should be here soon."
Jiang Yuwei shook Liu's hand:
"You go in and change Grandma Sun's clothes first. I'll find a few villagers to help with the cooking. Do you want Goudan to keep vigil tonight?"
Liu thought for a moment, tears in her eyes:
"Yes, Goudan can only keep vigil for his grandmother. His father...ah...I won't say more. I'll leave the outside affairs to you, Yuwei. Thank you for coming to help me."
Jiang Yuwei patted Liu's shoulder:
"Well, you are the master of the house today, so you can't keep crying all the time. Stop talking and send Grandma Sun away first."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt that what Jiang Yuwei said made sense. She took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and went into the house.
At this time, the head of the village also came with a group of people to deliver the coffin. The coffin had to be placed in the yard. Liu couldn't afford to hire a monk to perform a ritual to pray for the deceased, so she just found a knowledgeable person in the village to help and give some advice.
Seeing that the head of the village was in charge outside, Jiang Yuwei thought that the old lady Liu would not be able to do anything wrong, so she asked a few women to go to the kitchen to help. As the matter happened suddenly, Liu had no time to prepare anything good, so they just picked some vegetables, fruits and melons from the family garden and put them in the kitchen.
Jiang Yuwei thought that it would be a bad idea to have no meat at all, so she secretly took a few eggs and half a pork from the space when no one was paying attention, and regarded them as a farewell gift for Grandma Sun.
Jiang Yuwei directed everyone to help cut vegetables and light the fire, while she took out the eggplant and fried it into a braised eggplant, and made a cold-mixed eggplant. She made a smashed cucumber with eggs and cucumbers, and fried some twice-cooked pork, and then made some sweet and sour pork ribs. Jiang Yuwei saw that there were potatoes on the ground, so she made another dish of sweet and sour potatoes.
Soon with the help of everyone, Jiang Yuwei cooked five tables of dishes in one go, and the villagers served the food.
Mrs. Liu had also arranged for everyone to move Grandma Sun into the coffin. Jiang Yuwei went to take a look. Grandma Sun passed away peacefully with a smile on her face. Jiang Yuwei lit some incense and kowtowed to Grandma Sun.
Then he turned to look at Liu:
"Don't be too sad. After Grandma Sun passes away, you will be the one to take care of the family. Raise Goudan well."
Liu looked at Jiang Yuwei and nodded:
"I know Yuwei, I will live well. Goudan is an obedient child, I will raise him well. Thank you for helping me today. Don't worry, I will go to work for you as soon as I finish my work here."
Jiang Yuwei raised her hand to gather Liu's scattered hair behind her ears and patted her shoulder:
"I'm not in a hurry. Just focus on handling Grandma Sun's funeral. You must take good care of yourself. You can't fall down again at this time. And..."
Jiang Yuwei said this and signaled Liu to look at Liu Po, who was sitting in the corner with her eyes rolling around:
"You have to keep an eye on this old woman. She just didn't succeed but still refused to leave. I'm afraid she will have some evil thoughts again. You must keep your money safe and don't let her rummage around the house. She is a scoundrel and you can't just tolerate her blindly, otherwise she will get ahead of you. Remember, beat her when she deserves to be beaten and scold her when she deserves to be scolded. Do you understand?"
Liu looked at Liu Po with a worried look on her face, then smiled faintly and said to Jiang Yuwei:
"I know, Yuwei. If you hadn't stopped her today, I really don't know what she would have done. You said my mother-in-law has worked hard to maintain this family for so many years, how could she have any dowry? Even her funeral money was borrowed from you. I really don't know where this old lady got the news from, and she actually came to my house to ask for my mother-in-law's dowry."
Jiang Yuwei naturally knew that this Sixth Auntie was not easy to deal with, but she wanted Liu to handle it herself. Now she had to support the family alone, and it would not work if she continued to be a taciturn person like before. If Sixth Auntie made trouble again today, she would let Liu teach her a lesson.
It would also help to let the neighbors know that Liu is not someone who is easy to bully, so that they, an orphan and a widow, can live a peaceful life in Ningjia Village in the future.
Jiang Yuwei would naturally help Liu, but Jiang Yuwei believed that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. If one is not strong enough, no matter how much help others give, it will be useless.
Jiang Yuwei thought so and said to Liu:
"Remember, if that old woman comes to you to ask for dowry again, just use a broom to beat her out, so that she won't dare to come to your house again! If she really dares to go into the house to look for things, just tell her that you will report her to the government office and scare her. As I said before, if you can't win the argument, just fight her. After all, you are much younger than her, and you can definitely beat her. Liu, remember that it is better to rely on yourself than on others. If you can't be tough today, anyone can shit on you in the future!"
