Upon hearing the bad news, Gu Shiqin immediately put down his business and accompanied his son Gu Mingyan to Qingxiu to attend the funeral.

The Xu family's house was burned out, and the two neighborhood houses were also damaged. As soon as Gu Shiqin arrived, he first paid for the neighbor's losses, and then rented a house for the three generations of the Xu family to live in. Xu Wangshan's funeral will also be held here. When Mrs. Xu, Lin Wanyin, and Sister Qingxi were immersed in pain and she cried all day long, Gu Shiqin sent someone to take care of everything in an orderly manner, and the funeral was handled very decently.

"Fortunately, there is a relative of the Gu family, otherwise how can the family live in the future?"

"No, God is pretty good at seeing. The Gu family is kind and he didn't regret the marriage just because the Xu family collapsed. Qingxi's father has a spirit in the sky, so he can rest in peace."

"The Gu family is definitely not right, but if you want me to tell me, Qingxi is still outstanding. Look at the look of Master Gu's eyes when he looks at Qingxi, he feels sad. If he changes to an ugly fiancée, can he do this?"

“That’s true.”

While speaking, the women who came to watch the funeral of Chef Xu all looked at the center of the ceremonial guard.

Behind the dark nanmu coffin, followed the female relatives of the Xu family. Lin Wanyin supported the old lady Xu and walked in front. Qingxi and Yuxi sisters walked side by side. The third girl Yunxi was too small and was held by a strong woman.

They all cried, and there were personal ways to cry. Old Mrs. Xu cried the most miserable and loudest, just like wailing, snot and tears flowing out, and his mouth was alternately shouting sad words such as "Why did my son go to the heart" and "Why is my life so miserable?" Lin Wanyin walked inside her mother-in-law, her face blocked by Old Mrs. Xu, and she could only hear intermittent choking.

Among the three sisters, the little Yunxi lay on the shoulder of the old man and cried all the way. The nine-year-old Yuxi was a child's crying method. He rubbed his eyes with one hand and kept shouting "Dad". The eldest girl Qingxi cried the most miserable day she just returned home. "Dad Dad" made the listener cry, but now she cried the most quietly, following the team like a walking corpse, with tears falling on her pale and thin face.

Although it is inappropriate, such a clear stream will remind everyone of that common saying.

If you want to be pretty, you will be filial.

The petite and slender girl has fair skin. Now she is wearing a white mourning dress, which makes her skin look more delicate, her eyebrows and eyes become more beautiful, her black eyebrows and watery eyes are pitiful, as if Zhong Lingyuxiu from Jiangnan has been integrated into her body for thousands of years, carefully crafting a stunning beauty that she has only met in a thousand years.

In just a few days, Gu Mingyan witnessed his fiancée's various crying attitudes.

On the train that was shaking regularly, she faced out the window, tears rolled silently, finally blocking her face and crying in depression.

Seeing her father's last time, she pounced on the bed, her face buried in her dead father's chest, and she called her father in grief. He could only see her shoulders trembling.

...

She cried and cried, and tears clearly fell on her clothes, but it seemed to drip into his heart. The tears turned into a pen, drawing her shadow in his heart. The more she cried, the clearer the shadow became. Unconsciously, it turned into a Qingxi that was exactly the same as her. Before that, the Qingxi of Xu's family was just a baby marriage that his father had appointed for him. He misunderstood that she was a common old-school woman and was displeased. It was not until he met again that he was amazed at the appearance of his little fiancée and began to take the initiative to get close to her, hoping to win her heart.

Those are superficial, and he has also treated other women, but now, this girl named Qingxi has a root in his heart. When she cries, he will be in pain. He wants to coax her well and take good care of her. He will never make her cry again in his life.

Before dawn, Qingxi woke up. There was a loud rooster crowing outside the window, but it was not the big rooster in my house.

My father died, and his most precious rooster was also killed and taken away by the bandits.

Qingxi blocks the eyes.

When Cuicui came in, she saw that the young lady had already gotten up, and the quilts were neatly folded. The young lady lowered her head and sat beside the bed, and took paper tickets from the embroidered wallet one by one in her hand. The wallet was newly bought by the young lady before she went to Hangzhou. At that time, the master and his wife were with her. The second lady was jealous and begged the master to buy one for her.

The situation was vivid in my mind. How long has it been? Why did the master...

Cuicui's eyes were sore. Since the lady was counting the money tickets, she turned around and prepared to come in later.

"Cuicui comes here, I have something to ask you." Qingxi didn't raise her head and asked to come back with her maid since she was a child.

Cuicui nodded, secretly wiped her eyes, and quickly walked to the lady, not looking at the paper tickets placed on the bed.

After counting the money, Qingxi felt indescribable. Her father's figure was still in front of her, but she couldn't just miss her father. The property at home was looted by bandits, and her mother and sister must have no penny in her hands. Grandma is the richest, but now she probably only has the little left to take to Hangzhou City. Qingxi doesn't know how much, and she dares not expect her grandmother, who has always been stingy, to take it out.

If I had known that she would have saved some money when she was in Hangzhou instead of buying gifts for her parents and sisters...

Father's gift...

Thinking of the foreign hat she bought to celebrate her father's winning of the Chef Competition, the hat that her father disliked others but was very envious, Qingxi turned her head and tried not to let her tears fall. After calming down, Qingxi whispered to Cuicui: "You go and inquire about how much Uncle Gu spent on his father's funeral."

Cui Cui was about to ask what to do, but when she saw that the lady might cry at any time, she suppressed her doubts and went out.

Gu Shiqin brought a manager, surnamed Liu, who was in charge of all kinds of trivial matters, and Cuicui went to find him directly.

"Miss asked you to ask?" Manager Liu asked without answering the question, with a kind attitude.

Cuicui pulled her sleeves and shook her head and lied: "No, I, I am curious, I should have spent a lot of money, right?"

Manager Liu said, "Xu, Gu's family is in-laws, it is your duty to help the old man. You can serve the eldest lady with peace of mind and don't have to think about it."

How could the old fried dough sticks under Gu Shiqin be easily slandered by Cui Cui?

Cuicui went back to the lady in shame. Manager Liu stood there and watched Cuicui walk away. He immediately went to the guest room to inform the master.

When he heard that Qingxi sent a maid to inquire about the expenses of the funeral, Gu Shiqin glanced at his son.

Gu Mingyan was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood that his little fiancée was very polite and did not regard the Gu family's money as his own.

After Manager Liu left, Gu Shiqin sighed: "Qingxi is a child who is sensitive, so you should take more care of her in the future."

Gu Mingyan nodded: "My son knows."

Breakfast is ready.

There was a square table, with Mrs. Xu sitting in the north, Lin Wanyin and her three-year-old daughter Yunxi sitting in the east, taking care of her daughter for dinner with her own hands, Qingxi and Yuxi occupied the other sides. After the funeral, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren wore plain clothes, but Gu Shiqin sent someone to buy from the ready-to-wear shop, and the old clothes from the past were destroyed in the fire.

A man died, his mother, wife, and daughter, who is the most sad?

Old Mrs. Xu had no appetite, put down the bowl, and swollen eyes swept across her daughter-in-law and granddaughters one by one.

Lin was just 31 years old, and the lady from an old official family was spoiled when she was at home. After marrying into the Xu family, she was spoiled by her husband. Her fingers were not touched by the spring water, and she was more beautiful. She had a thin skin and tender flesh, and her waist was as thin as a willow, not like a woman who had given birth to three children. Lin's appearance may not be able to be at peace in the future. She had to keep a close eye on her. Lin could remarry, so she didn't want to take away any money from the Xu family.

Three granddaughters...

Mrs. Xu suddenly couldn't breathe, covered her chest with one hand, and pointed at Lin Wanyin with the other hand while crying and cursing: "Wangshan is heart-to-heart to you, you didn't even leave him behind. Are you worthy of Wangshan and the ancestors of the Xu family? God is not very good at seeing you, why isn't you the one who died?"

Lin Wanyin was feeding her daughter for dinner. When she heard this, her hands trembled and tears fell into the bowl in her hand.

When Yunxi saw it, he raised his head in confusion. Seeing that his mother was crying, she was nervously at a loss and instinctively penetrated into her mother's arms.

Yuxi had the most temper and cried and shouted at her grandmother: "Dad was not killed by us. Why did you scold us for being accused of us? When my father died, we burned incense and kowtow to him. Why did he call him a son? "

"You know what a fool!" Old Mrs. Xu spitted over and squirted over, and walked around the table and grabbed Yuxi and pulled it out. "You go out and see which father is dead and has no son to carry the coffin? Everyone has it. Only your father has no son, but your mother is useless and can't give birth to a son! You are so stubborn girl that you dare to stubborn..."

"Grandmother!" Qingxi ran over, pulled away the old lady Xu's hand, and grabbed her sister into her arms.

Yuxi's hair was messy and she was so angry that she cried. Qingxi held her sister tightly, and the third sister behind her was also scared to death. Qingxi couldn't help but feel a little hatred when she saw Mrs. Xu's eyes: "My mother has no son, but she still has us. In the future, grandmother is old, and we will provide you with her old age. If grandmother wants to have a granddaughter to be filial, don't scold my mother again!"

Old Mrs. Xu choked and wanted to scold her, but she was a little scared when she met her eldest granddaughter's tears of threat.

She couldn't count on her daughter-in-law and two little girls, but her eldest granddaughter had a good family to kiss. She really made her eldest granddaughter anxious, and in the future...

His face changed, and Old Mrs. Xu stopped talking.

The family wiped their tears and continued to eat. The atmosphere was silent. After the meal, Manager Liu came over and said respectfully to Mrs. Xu: "Old lady, the old lady invites you, madam, and the eldest girl to go to the front yard to discuss the matter."

Old Mrs. Xu agreed without thinking, got up and left.

Lin Wanyin's eyes changed slightly. A few days ago, the whole family was busy with funerals. She had only seen Gu Shiqin from a distance a few times. Now the neighbors are not here, and there are only a few people left. If Gu Shiqin reveals traces, she is discovered by her mother-in-law...

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Qingxi asked his mother, who had been moving for a long time.

Lin Wanyin came back to her senses, shook her head bitterly, and asked Yuxi to take care of her sister. She took Qingxi to the front yard.

In the main hall, Mrs. Xu had been invited by Gu Shiqin to the seat. Qingxi and her mother came in. He glanced briefly and withdrew her gaze without looking sideways. When everyone sat down again, Gu Shiqin looked at Mrs. Xu and said in a stern manner: "Old lady, Brother Xu died suddenly. I was heartbroken and wished I could kill my enemies. However, the whereabouts of the bandits were misty, and the police did not find any clues. But don't worry, I will always send someone to investigate this matter secretly and avenge Brother Xu sooner or later."

Old Mrs. Xu wiped her eyes: "My dear nephew is so kind, my mother is so grateful. Qingxi, kowtow to you Uncle Gu."

Qingxi immediately walked to Gu Shiqin and knelt down. Gu Shiqin hurriedly left his seat to stop him. Seeing that Qingxi had tears on his face, he couldn't help but hug the slim girl in his arms: "Silly child, you are the daughter-in-law of our Gu family. Uncle has long regarded you as a daughter. They are all family members. You should not give this big gift again in the future."

Lin Wanyin kept her head down, and Old Mrs. Xu looked at Gu Shiqin's tall back and felt relieved.
