Everyone in the room secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Old Yangtou was finally willing to take the bowl.
Over the table, Mr. Tan was sitting there, with an old blue cloth tied on his head.
A pair of eyes were as red and swollen as peaches. Sitting there, he looked haggard and unattractive.
Why?
Since it was almost dawn when she learned that Yang Hualin had drowned in the courtyard, Mrs. Tan had been crying non-stop for most of the day.
Fortunately, Yang Huamei was always with her and forced Tan to eat something, so that she would not fall down like old Yangtou.
Now, when she heard that Old Yangtou was willing to eat, Tan finally had the energy to speak out.
"Qing'er, what's next? Your second uncle's body is still in his own room!"
Tan asked Yang Ruoqing in an extremely sad voice.
Yang Ruoqing was startled.
Why do the old Yang family ask themselves about everything? When did this dependence develop?
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the people in the room and was about to speak when Yang Huazhong spoke up.
"Mom, Chen'er hasn't been found yet. My Qing'er is in a mess now. Don't let her worry about my second brother anymore!" said the man.
Mrs. Tan wiped away her tears: "There is no one in the second house, just Lan Yatou and Bai Xiaozi. How can they afford this?"
"Lan Yatou was so frightened this morning. I'm afraid she hasn't come back to her senses now. They and their brothers can't count on her." Mrs. Tan said.
Yang Huazhong said: "Girl Lan and Boy Bai are young and have never done anything like this, but aren't there three uncles like us!"
"Of course we have to help arrange the second brother's funeral and let him be buried as early as possible!" Yang Huazhong said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou nodded.
"That's right, there are uncles like us, please don't distract Qing'er with this matter. She is suffering more than us right now!" Yang Huazhou said.
When Tan heard this, he couldn't say anything else.
The old lady sat there, sighing. What happened one after another made the old lady wither away in an instant.
On the other side of the bed, Lao Yang drank the porridge and porridge in one go and gained a little more strength.
"The third child is right. Right now, our old Yang family is really going through a disaster."
"More times than this, we must work together to get through this difficulty!"
"Okay, I won't say any more. Third brother, you guys have to stand up and get this funeral done!" Old Yang said.
Yang Huazhong nodded.
Yang Huaming asked: "Dad, what should I do? Please explain first!"
Yang Huazhou said: "Fourth brother, there is no need to ask, naturally it will be the same as the funeral process of eldest brother last time!"
"oh!"
Yang Huaming nodded and asked no more questions.
Old Yangtou felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this conversation.
"Well, your second brother is different from your eldest brother." Old Yangtou took a deep breath and continued.
"Your eldest brother passed away and had four sons."
"Yongjin and the others are already married and have a career. Regardless of the funeral expenses or anything else, they can support it."
"But the second bedroom is different."
"Lan Yatou is a girl, she can't handle it like Qing'er."
"Boy Bai is only ten years old and doesn't understand anything."
"As for Fu'er, let alone mention it."
"Your second brother didn't leave much behind. As brothers, you have to pay and contribute to his funeral." Old Yang said.
The three sons didn’t have any objections to the effort.
But when he heard that he still had to pay, Yang Huaming's eyebrows moved slightly.
But out of sympathy, he kept silent.
We are all brothers, so just think of it as the last thing you do for your second brother...
Yang Huaming comforted himself in his heart like this, but Mrs. Liu behind him couldn't help but speak out.
"Dad, there is a saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly. We have to make it clear what you just said!" Madam Liu shouted anxiously.
"What do you mean we contribute both money and effort? Well, let's accept this effort. Who said we can't write two Yang characters in one stroke?"
"But is this money a loan? Or is it a free gift?"
"If this is a loan, then I have to write an IOU. When will it be repaid? Who will be the guarantee? What will happen if the payment is not due?" Mrs. Liu opened and closed her thin lips as she asked in a squeaky voice.
Lao Yangtou couldn't find a chance to interject.
After finally waiting for Mr. Liu to stop talking, the machine gun on Ms. Tan's side fired again.
"Ms. Liu, you're a charlatan, you've been here all this time, and you're still spending money!"
"Our family is in trouble. Do you understand that we are in trouble?"
"I asked you to take some money out, but you are such a mean-spirited person that you keep the money to buy yourself a coffin board? Damn you!"
Hearing Tan's curse, Liu was also angry.
He put his hands on his hips and spat in Tan's direction.
"Being able to buy coffin boards is a sign of merit. My second brother missed half a copper through the gap between his fingers and didn't give it to us. Why did he kick his legs and close his eyes? We have to clean up this mess for him." ?”
"The fourth child is his brother, not his son, and we have no obligation to provide for him until the end of his life!"
"Mom and dad, you keep saying that the second bedroom is in trouble, but you don't even look at our fourth bedroom!"
"The three girls are getting older day by day, and Mr. Kang is a cripple."
"Not to mention the future dowries for the three girls and Kang Xiaozi's marriage. Right now, there are six people in this family, plus the food rations for you two elders. All the food for the eight members of the family rests on the shoulders of the fourth child."
"Do you think he is a god? He still contributes effort and money? Our fourth bedroom has no money!"
Mrs. Liu waved her hand and held her neck, showing unprecedented toughness.
Mr. Tan was stunned by Mr. Liu's move.
When Tan came to his senses, he was so angry that green smoke was rising from his head.
She took off her shoes and was about to throw them towards Mr. Liu, but was stopped by Yang Huamei beside her.
"Mom, we have something to discuss, please calm down first!" Yang Huamei said.
Mrs. Tan said to Yang Huamei: "Your fourth sister-in-law is so inhumane. Have you heard all the bastard things she said? She doesn't give a cent!"
Yang Huamei frowned and glanced at Ms. Liu.
"You all should stop arguing and let's discuss it carefully."
After Yang Huamei finished speaking, her eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing opposite, hoping that Yang Ruoqing would stand up and say a few words to calm the situation.
However, Yang Ruoqing has been sitting quietly next to Mrs. Sun over there since she took the empty bowl from Old Yang.
Lowering his eyes, it seemed that all the noise in the room had nothing to do with him.
Yang Huamei sighed secretly, and had no choice but to look for help again on Old Yangtou.
"Dad, you are the head of the family, you tell me what to do!" Yang Huamei said.
Lao Yangtou let out a long sigh, and his disappointed eyes turned from Mrs. Liu to Yang Huaming.
"Fourth child, do you also mean what your wife said?"
Faced with Lao Yangtou's straightforward question, Yang Huaming frowned.
