A car accident, our family of three crossed

"It's okay. Mom and your grandma just got sand in their eyes." Shitou's mother wiped away her tears and made up an excuse to get away with it. "Okay, go play now!"

Sand in the eye, this lame excuse can only fool a three-year-old. Mudun rolled his eyes and said to Yangyang and the others, "Yangyang, let's go home and eat melon seeds! Xiao Shitou, come with us!"

"Okay, okay!" Little Shitou was thinking about the big red envelope from Yangyang's mother, so he agreed without hesitation and ran away with the three of them.

As soon as the children left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the yard, sighing to each other.

"Mom, I saw Aunt Wang before the New Year and she was fine and in good spirits. How come she suddenly..." She paused and guessed, "Did something unexpected happen?"

"Stop guessing." In order to stop her from making random guesses, Aunt Sun told her about Aunt Wang's situation.

After hearing this, Shi Tou Niang was so shocked that she couldn't say a word for a long time.

On the other side, the children returned to the Hang family happily. Song Ning gave Xiao Shitou the same amount of red envelope as Yangyang and the other three. Xiao Shitou was very happy because he had never received so much money before.

When the three children ran to eat melon seeds, Mu Dun came to Hang Shuheng and Song Ning and whispered, "Uncle Hengzi, Auntie, we were at Xiao Shitou's house just now and saw someone from the county town coming to announce the death."

Song Ning was shocked when he heard this, and quickly confirmed: "Mudun, are you sure? It's New Year's Day, you can't talk nonsense."

"I'm sure." Mu Dun nodded seriously and continued, "I also heard that person say that Aunt Wang passed away and Aunt Sun was crying! Moreover, Uncle Sun and Brother Qinglai have already driven our ox cart to the county town."

At this point, Song Ning confirmed this sudden news. Thinking about it, Aunt Wang's death was probably going to happen around this time, but no one expected it to happen during the Chinese New Year.

The couple looked at each other with serious expressions.

The old man who was drinking from a wine jug on the other side suddenly said indifferently, "This is the destined outcome, it's expected, there's nothing to be surprised about."

As a doctor and a poisoner, the old man was used to seeing life and death, and had long lost all feelings about matters of life and death, not to mention that the person who died was not someone he cared about.

Seeing the old man's indifferent attitude, Song Ning glared at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "Old man, although what you said is true, you are drinking the old wine brewed by Aunt Wang! Can you show a little regret for a while?"

The old man paused in drinking when he heard this, as if this was the case. This wine was indeed the jar of old wine that he was willing to exchange for Aunt Wang's treatment.

But what does it matter? No matter who brewed the wine, he earned it with his own skills. If someone else wanted to use the wine to treat him, he would not be happy!

He was just thinking about this in his mind. If he dared to say it out loud, the girl would probably lock up all the wine for him immediately and not let him drink a single sip.

Song Ning ignored the old man and turned to Hang Shuheng and asked, "We all know each other. Do you want to go?"

After all, Wang Jin also came to pay his respects when his family held the funeral.

Although it is the Chinese New Year now, the dead are the most important. They come from the afterlife, so they don’t care so much about these taboos.

Hang Shuheng nodded without much hesitation, "Okay! I'll go there." After that, he stood up and told Uncle Chai to harness the carriage.

The old man filled another glass for himself and drank it, then stood up and said, "Since this wine is still to my liking, I will accompany you for a walk!"

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked out of the yard with a swagger.

This was quite unexpected for both of them. They looked at each other and laughed.

"Are you not leaving yet? You can flirt with each other at any other time, but you have to do it at this time." As if he saw that Hang Shuheng had not caught up with him, he turned around and yelled in annoyance.

Hang Shuheng shrugged his shoulders, said a few words to Song Ning, and then walked out of the yard. Uncle Chai had already driven the carriage to the gate and was waiting.

After getting on the carriage, Hang Shuheng told the old man, "They are having a funeral at home, so please don't say anything unpleasant to them later!"

Hang Shuheng had experienced the old man's outspokenness, regardless of occasion or time. He was afraid that the old man would say something inappropriate and embarrass everyone except himself.

If that's the case, it's better not to go. Hang Shuheng thought so and said directly, "Or, why don't you just not go?"

"What do you mean, little brat? Are you afraid that I will go and cause trouble?" The old man was a little furious and felt insulted. "Humph! The more you don't want me to go, the more I will go."

After saying this, he turned his head to the other side in a temper and ignored Hang Shuheng.

Hang Shuheng touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, then turned to soothingly: "Okay, okay, calm down, calm down." At worst, he would just be more careful when he got there.

After all, the horse carriage was much faster than the ox cart, and halfway through the journey, it caught up with the three men of the Sun family.

Hang Shuheng invited them to ride in a carriage together so that they could reach the county town faster.

At this time, Uncle Sun was no longer polite to him. He asked Sun Qinglai to drive the ox cart behind, while he and Sun Xilai got on the horse carriage.

Seeing an old man sitting in the carriage, he was a little surprised, "What's this, old man?"

They had seen this old man before. They heard that he met Hang Shuheng in prison. After he was released from prison, he lived in the Hang family for a while!

The old man's true identity was not convenient to reveal, so Hang Shuheng just made up an excuse to evade the question, "Oh, this old man was in the same prison with me, and was taken care of by Constable Wang. When he heard about Aunt Wang's situation, he planned to go with me to express his condolences."

Uncle Sun and his father nodded without any doubt, without thinking about whether it was reasonable or not.

Soon the carriage arrived, and Uncle Chai drove the carriage towards Xiaoyu Hutong. Soon they arrived outside the Wang family's gate.

Seeing the doorhead with the red couplets taken down and the white sail hung on it, Uncle Sun and his father got off the carriage and walked straight inside without stopping.

Uncle Sun walked in and called out, "Son-in-law, daughter."

Wang Jin and his wife were kneeling in the mourning hall burning paper money. When they saw relatives from her mother's side coming, they hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Father, brother."

Sun Baomei, who had calmed down by now, burst into tears uncontrollably when she saw them.
