Chapter 168 Can I still get out of bed?
Hearing Gu Yinniu crying and wailing, the Gu siblings couldn't bear to watch, and Sanhu came to Gu Yinniu's side.
"Second Uncle, please stop crying. Even if you cry all your tears, Grandmother won't be able to hear you anymore."
"You brat, your grandmother is gone, can't I even cry here? If your grandmother finds out, she might come looking for you tonight."
Gu Yinniu said this to scare Sanhu, but who knew that the child was not afraid at all and was even staring at Gu Yinniu.
"Second Uncle, you're wrong. I'm a good child. Grandmother won't come looking for me. If Grandmother wanted to come looking for someone, she would only come looking for naughty people, people who have done bad things..."
Gu Yinniu, who was already in the mourning hall, glanced at his mother's coffin upon hearing this and felt that he had really gone mad. Otherwise, why would he be discussing with a child in such a place... who would he go to see!
Then, with a stern face, he fiercely lectured the child: "Gu Sanhu, don't think that just because you went to school for two days, you can talk nonsense in front of me. No matter what, I am still your second uncle."
"If you keep spouting nonsense like this, do you believe I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father?"
Sanhu stopped talking after hearing this. He was small, not stupid, and he didn't want to get beaten up.
The two brothers from the Gu family wanted to take their grandmother's coffin back to the Gu family home. They originally thought that Gu Dachui and his family wouldn't let them take it, but unexpectedly...
When they said this, Gu Dachui not only let them take it with them, but also asked them if they wanted to help or if they wanted to carry it over together.
This kind of behavior is wrong in the first place, it's wrong for everyone, but the Gu family doesn't care, so when the Gu family wants to take the old lady away, they have no objection.
Maybe the old lady would rather go with them now than stay here?
Both Gu Jinniu and Gu Yinniu had no choice but to swallow their anger after their carefully laid plans had turned out this way.
With the help of the villagers, they actually carried the coffin back. Zhao Laidi, who was watching the commotion from the doorway, saw this scene from afar and was so angry that she slapped her thigh.
"Oh my goodness, what are these two brothers doing? Do they want to bring even more bad luck into the house?"
People's coffins are placed outside, not inside the house.
No matter how much Zhao Laidi slapped her thigh, the other person had already come over, so she quickly closed the door and locked it from the inside.
When the coffin was brought over, the two brothers saw that their front door was tightly closed, and their expressions softened slightly.
The gate to the Gu family's house is closed now, so there shouldn't be anyone inside. They'll just have to take what they're carrying back.
But just because they're busy doesn't mean the villagers aren't busy either!
Those who had followed them all the way here saw that the gate was tightly closed, so in order to help the two brothers, they went straight over and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone home? Is anyone inside? Gu family, come and open the door quickly! Your husband is back, and he brought your mother-in-law with him. Come and open the door now!"
"Yeah... hurry up, come out and open the door, everyone's still carrying it, it's so heavy right now, it'll all collapse in a minute..."
When the village chief came over and saw them making such a fuss, he almost fainted. He went to the front and looked at the two Gu brothers.
"Gu family, what are you doing? What are you doing? Tell me, what exactly are you doing?"
"Don't you want your mother to leave in peace? She's already gone, what are you still making a scene for? Tell me... what exactly are you making a scene for?"
Since ancient times, holding a funeral in the family has been a taboo subject. No one will say anything or do anything inappropriate.
People usually avoid them when they pass by, but what's wrong with these two brothers? And why are other people making a fuss? Don't they feel unlucky at all?
The village chief looked back and found that almost half of the people in Gujia Village were in a terrible state.
He only went out for a short while, how did they end up like this when he came back?
Lin Cai stepped out from among the people and looked at the village chief's face: "The old lady is going up the mountain today, and they are all here to help. They just came here to take a look around because they were worried. Village chief, you don't need to worry."
She said she wanted to go up the mountain, and no one objected, except that Gu Jinniu looked very unhappy.
He was unaware that this was not the proper way to conduct a funeral, nor did he know what the consequences of doing so would be.
He simply told Gu Yinniu to make a scene as much as he wanted, to make sure the matter escalated and became a public spectacle.
Gu Yinniu is also not very bright, otherwise he wouldn't just do whatever Gu Jinniu says.
After Lin Cai finished speaking, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step aside when he realized something was still wrong.
They're carrying it like this, but it doesn't look like they're going up a mountain at all. Even if they were going up a mountain, they shouldn't be taking this route. Wouldn't it be much longer to go around like this?
He was about to ask a question when Lin Bao stepped forward and pulled the village chief aside, saying, "Hey old man, stop dawdling and you're inconveniencing people!"
"Where they want to take her is their business. Anyway, she's their mother. Even if they just went back home, it's none of your concern if she's left at home."
"You're just a village official, why are you meddling in so many things?"
Although Lin Bao's words weren't pleasant to hear, every single one of them was true, and the village chief was thus drawn inside.
After circling around the old lady's coffin, they headed up the mountain.
Everything was going smoothly until the very night after this matter was settled, when it started snowing heavily.
Overnight, the outside was covered in heavy snow, and in some houses, the roof beams collapsed because they couldn't bear the weight of the snow.
The village chief heard someone knocking on the door before he even got up in the morning. He got up and saw a white expanse that made him tremble with fear.
Neither the Gu family nor the Lin family reacted. It wasn't that something had happened to them; it was just that they were lazy!
We felt the cold even before we went outside, and no one wanted to get out of bed.
The weather in the south is always damp and freezing, and it almost never snows. Lin Cai could count the number of times she had ever seen snow on one hand.
Now, also in the south, seeing the snow-covered landscape outside, she couldn't believe her eyes for a moment.
Suddenly she remembered something: the village had said that it hadn't rained in winter, so the seeds might not be easy to plant in the spring.
Now that it's snowing, can the seeds still be planted in the spring?
When Lin Bao came over, rubbing his hands together, he saw his little sister standing under the eaves, looking at the snow in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.
