Since all the expenses for the funeral were paid by the family, it was justified for Zhang to assign these tasks.

After these were assigned, someone came to help clear the table, and cleaned the house and the yard. The other guests had left, and the rest were family members. Although everyone was afraid to talk to Cui, because Cui would never be nice to everyone, Zhang Qingshan was a man of old etiquette and never wanted to be short of etiquette.

The funeral was basically done, and the next step was to finish the work. Because some things needed to be clarified, others could leave, but Sheng Xuan could not.

"Third brother, if you don't have anything to do, please go to the upper room. Our mother has something to say." Sheng Nuo walked over and said to Sheng Xuan.

"If you didn't come, I would have gone there too, to hear what our mother had to say." Sheng Xuan said.

Although Cui was willful at this funeral, she did not cause too many problems for everyone, nor did she make things difficult for her daughters-in-law. Now that the funeral is over, Sheng Xuan was going to ask Cui what plans and ideas she had for the future.

"Our mother said it was something important," Sheng Nuo said carefully, "Now that the old man is gone, the old lady will be alone from now on. We need to make everything clear."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, "Your elder brother is right, that's the truth, then we will go back first, you go to the upper room and listen to what my sister-in-law has to say."

"Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave. We are all here, so why don't you go and listen together?" Sheng Nuo's attitude towards Zhang Shanfeng was somewhat flattering.

"This is your old Sheng family's family affairs, why should I intervene? My grandchildren are so old, what can their parents not understand?" Zhang Shanfeng waved his hand and took Xin back. Zhang Shanfeng and Xin's consistent attitude is not to interfere in the family affairs of the Sheng family. Xiaoyan followed Xin and left.

Xiaolan and Xiaowen did not leave, and Zhang also stayed. They followed Sheng Xuan to the upper room. Everyone in the Sheng family gathered in the upper room. On the kang, Grandpa Sheng's bedding roll was no longer there, but Cui still vacated the place where the bedding was originally and sat on the kang. At this time, Sheng Yugui was also kept by Cui. Almost everyone in the Sheng family took a seat. Xiaolan's family entered the room and sat down on the kang and chairs.

Everyone was waiting for Cui to speak. Cui was sitting cross-legged at this time, and she didn't say anything for a long time. "Your father is gone, and your mother is the only one left. From now on, you guys must treat me badly. You can't treat me differently from when the old man was here, otherwise, I won't agree."

Seeing that Cui was so arrogant and had a tough attitude, Sheng Yugui was afraid that Sheng Xuan and the others would be unhappy, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, "It must not change. I can guarantee that."

"Grandma, if you have any other ideas, just tell us directly." Xiao Lan said.

During the days of the funeral, everyone was too busy. Xiaolan's family could accept Sheng Yugui as a middleman to mediate the relationship between them and Cui, because they knew Sheng Yugui's character. But as for other people, they would not accept anyone. With Grandpa Sheng gone, no one else has the qualifications. This is the bottom line, so when Sheng Yugui spoke at this time, Xiaolan's family responded.

Sheng Yugui took the opportunity to say, "Auntie, these are all your descendants, they all miss you. If you have any other ideas, just say it directly."

"Third brother, please give me a straight answer to what I just said," said Cui.

It turned out that Sheng Xuan's support for the old house was provided by both Cui and the old man. Now that the old man is gone, Cui still wants two supports. This request is not feasible in theory, but it is very consistent with Cui's character. When Xiao Lan and the others accompanied Sheng Xuan to the upper room, they were actually prepared in their hearts. What kind of person is Cui? When has she ever talked about reason?

"Grandma, what are your plans for the future?" Xiao Wen thought for a moment and then said, "My parents want to take you two to our home and live with us in the future."

Xiaowen once again brought up the idea of ​​taking Cui in to support her. If Cui lived with them, then all her food, clothing and other expenses would naturally be the same as those of Xiaolan's family, and there would be no need to worry about providing for her.

As soon as Xiaowen finished speaking, Cui hadn't done anything yet, but Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong could no longer sit still. Although they were anxious, they didn't dare to speak. They just looked at Cui and then at Xiaowen, then scratched their heads and looked anxious.

Cui's attitude towards her sons and grandchildren was very different. She was always kind to her grandchildren. "I've said it before, I'm going to die on this kang when I'm old. I won't go anywhere. Even if there's a mountain of gold and silver, I won't go. I'll stay here. If you really have filial piety, give me a few more."

Cui's incident once again showed her attitude, saying that she would die in the old house and would not live with Sheng Xuan in their home. Xiao Wen had long guessed that Cui would say this, but he still had to say what he should say and express his attitude. Since Cui was unwilling to move, the next thing to discuss was the issue of providing for her in her old age.

"The support for the old lady should still be based on the standards when the old man was alive," Sheng Xuan said, "and if you want to add anything else, you can decide for yourself."

In this way, Cui Shi received double support. Cui Shi thought about it and said, "You have money now, you are a landlord, and your family has thousands of acres of land. I am not asking for more from you. I want ten acres of good land, which can produce good harvests every year." Although Cui Shi never went to the fields, she always knew some rumors. In fact, even if Cui Shi didn't want anything, Sheng Xuan would send her rice and flour, and she would not lack good food.

Sheng Xuan did not print out Cui's request immediately. He just glanced at Zhang, Xiaolan and Xiaowen. Zhang and Xiaolan did not express anything. Xiaowen nodded to Sheng Xuan, which meant that they did not object to this matter.

"Okay." Sheng Xuan then agreed to the old lady's request.

"I can't count on any of them. You have it, so I'm asking you for it." Cui's words seemed to explain her previous words and deeds. "You were born and raised by me. You owe me this. These acres of land I asked you for are also what I deserve." Cui never spoke reasonably, but what she said was always self-consistent and she made excuses.
