I really don't want to be a teacher

……

"Sir, let's eat too."

At the dining table, beside Lian Ge, the old man picked up the chopsticks and greeted him.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge looked away and nodded.

At the dining table, the rest of the people picked up their chopsticks one after another and started eating.

After picking up the food with chopsticks and eating, Lian Ge turned to look at the old man, and asked calmly,

"Old man, how did this old lady get away?"

After the words fell, before the old man could answer, another villager at the dining table heard Lian Ge's words and couldn't help but reply,

"Hey, if he said he died of illness, I think he died of anger."

After the words fell, the old man shook his head, sighed slightly, took the words and continued:

"...Because of the previous incident, the old lady was depressed and kept thinking about it. She gradually lost weight, so she died of depression."

Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't answer, waiting for the old man's next words,

"...Last year, the father of the two brothers had a car accident. The driver who caused the accident paid 20 in compensation.

After this incident, before the father was buried, the older daughter-in-law urged her to share the money... At first the old lady disagreed, but later the older daughter-in-law said that her son was short of money for marriage, and the old The wife felt sorry for her grandson, so she agreed.I took out 12 yuan and gave it to the two brothers, each of whom took [-] yuan...

But the older daughter-in-law still refused. She said that the old lady was eccentric... She said that the money left by the old lady would eventually be spent by the younger one, so she didn't give up and wanted to share the remaining [-] yuan. .The old lady was so angry that she firmly disagreed.

As a result, the older daughter-in-law ran to the old lady's house to make a fuss... The old lady was so angry that she donated the 8 yuan.

As a result, the older daughter-in-law went to the charity center to mess around and asked people to return all the money..."

Chapter 185

"...The charity organization finally had no choice but to refund the money.

After the money was returned, the younger one felt ashamed to hold the money, so he didn't want any of it, and put it all into the older one's pocket. "

As he spoke, the old man turned his head, looked into the mourning hall by the courtyard, and sighed slightly.

"...At that time, this incident finally caused a lot of trouble, and the whole village knew it. Since then, the old lady has stayed at home all day and rarely went out again."

Turning around, the old man shook his head slightly and continued,

"... At that time, I also came to comfort her a few words, telling her that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them toss about their children and grandchildren. Just let her live her own life well. After all, she is too old. Relax, let her go out for a walk even if she has nothing to do, to relax.

She told me that her daughter-in-law made things like this, causing the whole village to gossip behind their backs, and she was really ashamed to go out. "

"...At that time, there were indeed some people with bad mouths in the village, talking behind their backs."

While talking, the old man glanced at the villagers sitting around the dining table,

The people eating at the dining table all moved slowly when they heard the sound, but no one made a sound.

The old man shook his head and continued to say to Lian Ge,

"...Since then, this old lady has been brooding, her heart is choked with depression, she can't see any smile on her face all day long, and she sighs and sighs at every turn. In addition, she is getting old, and her body collapses at once. Yes, the whole person looks thinner.

I was bedridden last winter. I thought I wouldn't survive the winter, but I survived it... I don't know, it's only autumn this year, so I couldn't survive it, and I left. "Speaking, the old man sighed slightly.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, nodded, and didn't say much.

The old man calmed down, picked up the chopsticks again,

"...Let's not talk about this, Mr. Xiao, let's eat."

Lian Ge nodded slightly, and also picked up the chopsticks.

……

At the funeral banquet, people from the village and those who came to mourn sat around the tables,

Although it wasn't too noisy, it wasn't so deserted either. The people at each table were talking, and it seemed a bit lively.

At the dining table, Lian Ge was eating, chatting casually with the old man beside him.

"...Mr. Xiao is out for a trip?"

"That's it."

"...Mr. Xiao is from Jizhou Province, or from the capital?"

"Over there in the capital."

"That road is not easy to walk..."

Listening to the old man's words, Lian Ge paused slightly, looked at the table next to him,

Seeing this, the old man also paused and followed Lian Ge's line of sight.

At the side table, the host family, the couple, who were eating at the same table as the old gentleman, stood up at this moment,

"...Or I should go." The woman pulled the man's arm and said aloud,

"Forget it, it's not like you don't know what kind of virtue that woman is. When you go over, she will be eccentric and say some unpleasant things... I'll go. I'll come back when he says something. If he wants to come, he will come. If I don’t want to come, it’s not that I can’t handle my mother’s funeral.”

As he spoke, the man turned around and walked out of the yard. The woman watched and did not stop her.

Looking at the scene, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat without haste,

"Treat my brother well, it's really like this..." The old man also turned his head back, sighed slightly,

Lian Ge heard the sound, glanced at the old man, and said calmly:

"Old man, you should have watched these two brothers grow up, right?"

"...Yes, I watched them grow up." The old man nodded, picked up his chopsticks again, and leaned against the bowl, "When I was young, these two brothers were really close, and they were inseparable wherever they went. The little ones like to follow The big one, the big one also likes to protect the little one.

When the youngest was eight or nine years old, he lived in the wild, climbing trees and picking fruits all day long, and fishing in ditches.When climbing the tree, the older one stood guard under the tree, staring at his younger brother intently; when going down the ditch, the older one stayed downstream...

There was a time when the little one had to play with the dog, but it made someone else's dog anxious, and wanted to bite him, but the big one immediately went over to protect it, and the dog bit the big one's leg with one bite. superior.

The big one was afraid that the dog would chase his younger brother, so he didn't run away, so he hugged the dog tightly and told his younger brother to run quickly and call someone...

When we rushed over, the dog was still biting the leg of the older one, and the bite was bloody.

The older one still has a scar on his leg. "

Listening quietly to the old man's words, Lian Ge didn't say much.

Around the dining table, there are older people in the village sitting around. Listening to the old man's words, they can't help being a little silent.

"...Unfortunately, after the two brothers got married when they grew up, the situation changed. When they were farming, they competed for the position of the ridge. Today, you moved the ridge to my field, and tomorrow you feel that you have cut it. Vegetables in my family's field... arguing about some things all day long. Before the two houses were close to each other, the younger one earned some money and planned to build another floor on top of the original house. The older daughter-in-law In this way, the roof of the young one’s house is higher than his’s, covering her house and ruining her house’s feng shui.

Later, the small one simply built the house here, and the big one got angry and built the house directly to the entrance of the village. "As he spoke, the old man shook his head,

"...If you want me to say, it's because of the quarrel between the sisters-in-law, otherwise, even if the two brothers broke their heads, they wouldn't have such a quarrel."

At the dining table, another person stopped the chopsticks and said,

"...The sister-in-law's discord can be seen, but I haven't seen them quarreling too much? How did it start?" Another person next to him couldn't help but said,

"Hey, you don't know that." The person who answered the conversation laughed, then leaned forward, looked at the villagers at the dining table, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"The older one got married first, you know that?"

"Who doesn't know this?" A person at the dining table shook his head and answered,

"Then you don't know, in fact, the eldest daughter-in-law also has a younger sister."

It was said that some people sitting around the dining table became interested and also leaned forward slightly, while the old man beside Lian Ge shook his head slightly, as if he knew about it.

Glancing at the person who was speaking, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, took his chopsticks, continued to eat the food on the table in a leisurely manner, and listened quietly.

"...At the beginning, after the older daughter-in-law got married, seeing that the younger one didn't have a daughter-in-law yet, she wanted to introduce her sister to the younger one.

But what kind of virtue is she, and her sister is not much better, she is vitriolic, like a shrew, and her reputation in their village is ruined.After seeing the younger one, he didn't like it at all, so he told his brother when he came back.

The older daughter-in-law in the back wanted to get her younger sister and the younger one together, but the younger one knew the virtues of their family, so how could she agree.

Later, the younger one was introduced by others, and married the current daughter-in-law.

After that, the older daughter-in-law hated the younger family.

I guess it's just blowing pillow wind to the big one all day long, saying that the small one is not good, that's not right, it's okay at first, after a long time, do you think these two brothers can get better?Gradually, conflicts arose, and with the virtue of the eldest daughter-in-law, the two brothers became what they are now..."

Chapter 186 It's time to get up

"...In addition, the daughter-in-law who grew up last year came here and made a big fuss..."

At the dining table, the speaker shook his head and did not continue talking.

"Hey, this is really..." the person who was listening to him couldn't help saying.

The voice fell, and everyone at the table became slightly quiet.

"... Let's all eat." Beside Lian Ge, the old man raised his head and said to everyone,

Hearing the sound, all the people at the dining table picked up their chopsticks one after another and continued to eat their meals.

On the side, Lian Ge watched the scene without saying much, and continued to eat the dishes on the table without haste.

……

Because it was a funeral banquet, most of the people who attended the banquet didn't drink, and didn't dawdle too much. After the meal was full, they began to leave the banquet one after another.

At the dining table where Lian Ge was, the villagers left after eating, or a few people stood by the courtyard, talking together.

At the dining table, only Lian Ge, the old man beside him, and a few older people were still eating at a leisurely pace.

"...Speaking of which, where is Mr. Xiao from?"

"Sichuan people."

"Chuanshu, that's a good place. The land of abundance."

Lian Ge took care of the dishes on the table, ate casually, and chatted with the old man, while Lian Ge watched the scenes in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, at the banquet table, the juniors of the deceased old lady finished their meal one after another, stood up, and gathered in front of the main room, each of them put down the filial cloths on their heads again,

At the side dining table, the old gentleman presiding over the funeral also stood up again, wearing a Taoist robe and crown, preparing for the funeral ceremony in the afternoon,

The women of the host's family also came in and out of the main room from time to time, responding to the words of the funeral assistants, busy with various trivial matters in the funeral, but every time they stepped into the courtyard, they couldn't help but glance at the road outside the courtyard.

And at this moment,

Among the master's family, the man who went to invite his brother over came back again.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the hustle and bustle of the courtyard became much quieter, and many villagers gathered around the courtyard turned their eyes away.

"……How about it?"

The woman who stepped out of the main room again also noticed the figure of the man, walked over, saw that there was no one behind the man, and asked aloud.

The man glanced at the woman, fell silent for a while, and then nodded,

"He said he'd be here in a minute."

Hearing this, the woman nodded and said nothing more.He turned around and wiped his hands, then walked away again, getting busy.

……

"...a filial son, a filial son, a filial daughter-in-law and a filial nephew, bow before the spirit..."

On the side of the courtyard, the mourning flag fluttered with the wind, and the old man in Taoist robes and hat gave a long cry in front of the main room.

Afterwards, all the grandchildren of the old lady, dressed in filial cloth, gathered in front of the spirit one after another, knelt down,

The sound of mourning and music gradually became louder, but it was still mixed with the sound of the wedding going on in the distance.

"...Where's your brother? Come here?" Seeing the man approaching, the old gentleman asked aloud,

"I'm going to hold a wedding for his son..." the man said nonchalantly, followed by a slight silence,

"He'll be here in a while."

Hearing this, the old gentleman nodded, then turned around, looked at the group of old ladies and juniors kneeling in the main room, and began the funeral ceremony in the afternoon.
