"What? Dead?" Old Mrs. Shen was shocked when she heard this, "Why did I hear that we have been getting along these past few days? Why did it suddenly..."
As soon as Grandma Li heard this, any regrets she had in her heart were immediately thrown out of her mind.
It is said that?
Who did you hear that from?
Nowadays, Grandma Jiang is a taboo word in Mrs. Shen's room. No one except Grandma Li herself dares to mention it.
She didn't say it herself, so who would be gossiping in front of the old lady?
Or did Mrs. Shen take the initiative to find out about Grandma Jiang's situation in private?
When she thought of this, Grandma Li felt so angry that her teeth started to itch.
She was secretly glad that thanks to her son helping her make this decision, she finally got rid of the thorn in the side of Nanny Jiang.
So what if the old lady can't live without her? I haven't heard of any master who always remembers his dead slave.
"Who was the one who hit the board before? When I said it was twenty big boards, did I let them hit them to death?"
Grandma Li was jealous and happy in her heart, but she had to put on a sad look on her face and said: "The old slave was watching from the side, but in fact he didn't hit her too hard. Later, he was beaten by the older girl. I begged for mercy and was spared a few bills.
"Maybe I'm just getting older, so I didn't hold back for a while..."
Mrs. Shen was in a daze when she heard this. It was hard for her to accept that Aunt Jiang had been with her for decades and suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Grandma Li quickly reminded: "Old lady, that girl Chunlan is still kneeling outside..."
Mrs. Shen suddenly didn't want to see Chunlan, so she quickly said: "Don't let her come in. She will be sad after seeing her, so it's better not to see her.
"Go and give her fifty taels of silver so that she can take care of her mother's affairs.
"As for herself, let her rest for a few more days and don't have to rush back to duty."
"Yes!" Grandma Li felt happy when she saw Mrs. Shen like this.
Based on her understanding of Mrs. Shen, she knew that she would never reuse Chunlan again in the future.
After all, whenever she sees Chunlan, she will think of her dead mother.
Mrs. Shen was decisive in killing when she was young. Now that she is older and has begun to believe in Buddhism, she has gradually become afraid of any karma.
Nanny Li took the banknote and went out to hand it to Chunlan, conveying Mrs. Shen's wishes at the same time.
She originally expected to see Chunlan crying or yelling and making a fuss.
Unexpectedly, Chunlan just calmly accepted the banknote and said to the room: "Thank you, old lady. Chunlan kowtows to you on behalf of my mother."
After Chunlan finished speaking, she knelt down in the direction of the seat in the back room, kowtowed three times in an upright manner, then stood up and left without looking back.
If her eyes weren't as red and swollen as rotten peaches, Nanny Li would have thought that she wasn't sad at all and wished her mother was dead.
After coming out of Mrs. Shen's room, Chunlan looked at the banknote with fifty taels written on it, and tears fell uncontrollably.
She didn't know why her mother's condition suddenly deteriorated.
But just now while waiting in the old lady's room, she suddenly thought of it.
The only difference between last night and usual times was that the old lady had a cup of dendrobium stewed fish maw in her room.
When Grandma Li brought the thing over, she also said that this thing is the best for replenishing qi and blood.
So she didn't even want to taste it and fed it all to her mother.
Now that I think about it...
Chunlan stood under the bright sun, but couldn't help but feel chills.
Her mother has done so many things for Mrs. Shen over the years, and now it's not enough that she was beaten to the point of losing half her life for some inexplicable mistake. Does she have to die?
Can a mere fifty taels of silver buy her mother's life?
When I think of my father, brother and nephews who are far away in my hometown and have no idea.
Thinking that her mother had worked hard for most of her life and died without even seeing her family for the last time, without even a filial son or grandchild by her side, Chunlan felt a burst of sadness again.
She returned to her residence in despair, and there were already several rough ladies waiting outside the door, trying to transport Grandma Jiang's body out as soon as possible.
Aunt Jiang was a servant, so she couldn't even keep the body in the house overnight. She had to find a place to rest her body as soon as possible to take care of the funeral arrangements.
Fortunately, they had already learned that Mrs. Shen had given her fifty taels of silver, so they did not dare to be too offended and moved without entering the house directly. They also knew to wait outside the door for Chunlan to come back.
Seeing Chunlan coming back, several people rushed towards her.
"Chunlan, we thought you were here alone now. Your mother was gone and there was no one to help you, so we came here to help.
"Miss Chunlan, look, where are we carrying it?"
"What are you carrying?" Chunlan was in a daze and before she could react, she was surrounded by several rough ladies.
"We don't need you, we have our own people!" Mingyu came in at some point, stood in front of Chunlan, and drove away the rough ladies.
Chunlan looked at Mingyu and finally couldn't help but threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, sister Chunlan, don't be afraid, I asked my brother to come over and help you send your mother to Enhe'an first.
"The girl often goes to the nunnery to worship Buddha, and she is very familiar with the nunnery master there. It will be no problem for me to follow and say hello. Let's settle down first and then see how to mourn."
Chunlan had already run out of ideas at this time, and she completely obeyed Mingyu's arrangements.
Qiu Jun paid to hire two people to carry Grandma Jiang out, and then hired a flatbed truck to take her directly to Enhe'an.
En He'an had been greeted by Li Zi'an. Naturally, he didn't say anything about the matters related to Shen Tianshu and directly arranged a mourning hall for placement.
Aunt Jiang stayed in the nunnery for two days and then mourned.
Chunlan had never had a funeral before. Mingyu's parents, brother and sister-in-law helped with everything, so her mother was finally sent away decently.
"Good boy, I am out of town now, so I didn't bury your mother.
"The coffin will be placed in the nunnery first. You only need to pay half a pound of money every month. When you return to your hometown in the future, you can hire a car to take your mother back.
"Otherwise, she would be buried here alone, with no one to worship her in the future. It would be too pitiful."
Ming Yuniang herself had a son and a daughter, and she felt heartbroken when she saw Chunlan lose a lot of weight in just two days.
"Auntie knows that you are a good and filial child, but when you should step out, you must step out as soon as possible.
"If your mother knew it, she wouldn't be able to bear seeing you like this, right?"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Chunlan managed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"If you don't want to laugh, stop laughing. It makes me feel uncomfortable." Ming Yuniang sighed, "You don't have to pretend in front of my aunt, but you have to go back sooner or later. What should I do if the master looks at you like this? .”
Upon hearing this, Chunlan couldn't help biting her lower lip.
She was asked to go back again, unless it was to pay her last respects to Mrs. Shen!
