Chapter 71 Weird
Under the leadership of Wang Song's slaves, Chen Guhong and his group soon arrived at the door of Zheng Chong's house. Zheng Chong's family is in the most remote and outermost place in the entire Orange Town.
There is a small single-family yard with a small pond and a few orange trees in front of the door. The environment is very elegant. However, the house is terrible. The walls of the courtyard are covered with weeds, and traces of collapse and repair can be seen in several places.
Part of the door was rotten, and it was leaking.
There was a white cloth hanging in front of the door, and the wind blew the white cloth, which was very desolate. Chen Guhong and Wang Song walked out of the carriage and looked at each other. Chen Guhong stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A gentle sound rang out after a while.
"Who?"
The door was opened with a creak, and a little woman was exposed inside the door. The little woman looked very pretty, her eyes were a little red, and she was wearing a snow-white filial piety uniform. As the saying goes, you should be filial.
This woman has the charm, and the gangsters felt dirty when they saw it. The little woman opened her eyes and looked at Chen Guhong and the others with surprise, but she looked timid when she saw strangers like an ordinary woman.
This person may be Zheng Chong's widow, Chen Guhong is not a good person, but not a dirty person. Although Wang Song is beautiful, he is not so vulgar.
Without taking a look at each other, Wang Song bowed and asked, "But Sister Zheng?"
"My husband is indeed Zheng Chong, who are the two?" the little woman nodded and asked.
"We are friends with Brother Zheng. We were visiting friends, but we didn't want to hear the bad news suddenly, so we rushed over." Wang Songlu looked sad and also explained his purpose.
The little woman's eyes turned red again, and she sighed, "My husband went there suddenly." Then she bent over and led the two into the door, saying, "Two, let's go first and see the last side of her husband. Tomorrow is the first seventh, and the day after tomorrow will be buried. You may as well stay and send the last side of her husband."
"Appointed."
Wang Song said.
"Whether there is triviality, if there is any order, just give me orders." Chen Guhong said.
"Thank you." Mrs. Zheng bowed to the two of them again, and then several people walked in. The yard looked dilapidated outside, and the inside looked even shabby, and there was even a smell of decay.
It is not surprising that it collapses at any time, but the two of them didn't care too much and went straight to the front of the hall. The ground in front of the hall was mud and bumpy. There was a word "Fu" hanging on the wall on the north side, and there was nothing else.
There were two straw mats on the ground, one on the ground, and a corpse was rolled up. Next to the corpse was a pair of children, who were about four or five years old, a man and a woman, and were also wearing filial piety clothes, but they looked ignorant, not sad, but were confused.
Chen Guhong and Wang Song felt sad when they saw the feet exposed at the end of the straw mat, and hurried forward to unfold the straw mat. Who is the person inside the straw mat?
I saw that he was still him, but his body was already cold and his face was as pale as paper. The weather was still hot now, and his body even emitted a smell of corpse smell.
The clothes on my body should be the one I was wearing at that time, they were white and patched.
"How sad it is." Wang Song and Chen Guhong looked at each other and felt extremely sad. At this time, Yuanyuan and his maid's slaves also walked in. Chen Guhong called Yuanyuan and said, "Look at Zheng Xianggong's figure and go buy a shroud."
"Yeah." Yuanyuan didn't feel naughty when she saw this, she responded obediently, looked at Zheng Chong's figure, turned around and walked out.
"How can I bother the guests?" Mrs. Zheng frowned and said.
"I am a friend of Brother Zheng, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to see you." Chen Guhong said.
Seeing that the two were kind, Mrs. Zheng didn't say much.
Not long after, Tiezhu came back first and transported the coffin by car. After a while, Yuanyuan bought the shroud and came back. Mrs. Zheng bowed to Chen Guhong and the others, wiped the body for the arrogance, and changed her clothes.
Chen Guhong and his wife helped lift Zheng Chong into the coffin, and then carefully covered the coffin. Although they didn't do much, they looked much more decent.
After finishing my work, it was already afternoon. Even if Chen Guhong and other adults were hungry, they would pass, but the two dolls on the ground couldn't bear it.
The girl said to Mrs. Zheng with her fingers in her mouth and said, "Mom, I'm hungry." The boy was a little older and sensible, and he didn't speak, but he also showed desire and hunger.
Mrs. Zheng apologized when she heard this and said to Chen Guhong and the others: "I'm confused and let the guests starve. Let's go to cook now."
"The children are all hungry and they are a little slow to cook. Sister-in-law doesn't have to work hard, so I'll send someone to buy some pastries." Wang Song said quickly, and then called his slave to buy food.
"This" Mrs. Zheng showed shame, but when she saw her children looking at her, she didn't speak. Soon after, the slave came back and brought a rich pastry.
Chen Guhong first picked up two pieces and handed them to a pair of children to eat. The child took them and immediately swallowed them.
"It's delicious, mom, this is the best I've ever eaten. Is this the pastry?"
"tasty."
The child spoke Wuji, but was very sad. Chen Guhong and Wang Song looked at each other. They knew that Zheng Chong's family was in a bad situation, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.
"It makes the guests laugh." Seeing that his children were really indecent, Mrs. Zheng apologized to Chen Guhong and the others with a little apology.
"No need to see you." Chen Guhong said.
Immediately, Mrs. Zheng led the two to the table, poured tea, and let Chen Guhong eat and use it. She claimed to go upstairs to deliver pastries to her mother-in-law. Not long ago, Chen Guhong and the others learned that Zheng Chong's family was from five.
In addition to his wife and children, there are also old mothers.
According to Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng was weak and sickly in her early years. Although she had improved a little over the years, she had a strange problem. She didn't like to see the light and liked to stay in a dark place in the room all day long.
Even if Zheng Chong is gone, he will rarely show up.
"Even if I don't like the sunshine, my son should be busy inside and outside when he dies. Why don't he even step out of the door?" Chen Guhong and the others were confused, but they just kept it in their hearts and did not gossip.
After Mrs. Zheng went upstairs, Chen Guhong and the others started to eat pastries. The pastries were pretty good, but the tea was the roughest tea, but the two of them ate patiently without any dissatisfaction.
Halfway through the meal, there was a noise coming from the upstairs.
"You slutty fox, don't have to pretend to be filial to my wife in front of me. Is my son happy? Can you go outside to find a wild man?" Cang Lao's voice was very sharp.
"Mother-in-law, don't say that. Although my husband is gone, I will definitely pull my children to be widowed for him." Mrs. Zheng's voice rang out immediately, and she was crying.
He also said: "Mother-in-law, there are guests here now. Can we have a good chat after the husband is buried?"
"Get out" the old voice sternly.
Soon after, the quarrel sounded extinguished. Chen Guhong and Wang Song looked at each other in surprise, "This family is not very harmonious? And there are all kinds of strange things."
Neither of them was confused, so many thoughts arose in their hearts. But when they heard footsteps sounded, they thought that Mrs. Zheng had returned, they tacitly said nothing and continued to eat and drink.
