The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

At night, Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao went directly to Li Guaizi's house. The frozen body was still lying in the yard, covered with an old straw mat.

The room was pitch black. When I pushed the door open, I saw only Brother Lin lying on the kang. Xiaobao was not in the room. He must have been taken to someone else's house.

This is normal. A little baby can't eat much and doesn't take up much space. Most importantly, it's better to take him home and feed him something hot than to let him stay here.

Chu Xiao lit the kerosene lamp on the table and looked at Lin Ge'er's condition in the dim light. He couldn't treat illness, but he could feel his vitality.

Brother Lin is now like a dead tree. All his energy and spirit seem to have been drained away, and there is no vitality in him at all.

He wrapped the man in a quilt and then asked Yan Zhenshen to come in and carry the man. No matter what, he would try his best to help, and whether it would succeed or not depended entirely on himself.

There are many trees at the entrance of the village, but in winter there is very little vitality of plants. If we really want to save them, I am afraid that these trees will not be able to grow new buds until next year.

Chu Xiao moved quickly, and the green vitality was converted into life force and injected into Brother Lin'er's body. Then they quickly sent him back.

Brother Lin only felt a comfortable warmth in his body. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't open his eyelids no matter what he did.

"Try to live, for Xiaobao and for yourself, be strong." A voice sounded in his ears, and he felt it was very familiar.

"Brother Shen, we're back. Whether he can wake up depends on whether he wants to live." Chu Xiao turned off the kerosene lamp, closed the door and left.

Lin Ge'er rolled his eyes but still couldn't open them. However, he knew it was Xiao Ge'er, and it was Xiao Ge'er who had spoken to him just now.

Does he want to live?

He wants to live because of Xiaobao, but living is so painful and humiliating. If he has a choice, he would rather die.

"Hasn't Li Guaizi's uncles and aunts been notified? Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

These aunts had been worried about it all night, and they didn't dare to ask them to stay here all night, so they came over early in the morning to check the situation.

Logically speaking, the Zhang family should have been notified yesterday, and the mourning tent should have been set up last night, the soul-guiding lamps should have been lit, and someone should have been guarding the mourning hall to ensure that the soul-guiding lamps did not go out until the funeral procession, so that the soul could truly rest in peace.

In their Anning Town, funerals are more elaborate than weddings, but the people from the Li family never showed up.

But it's not surprising if you think about it. Li Guaizi has never been popular. He didn't even inform him when his cousins ​​from his uncle's family got married. I'm afraid they don't want to acknowledge this relative at all.

When they entered the house, they saw that Brother Lin seemed to be better. At least he could swallow the medicine and even drink some rice soup.

The village chief also came over after breakfast to see the situation. Since there was no movement from the Li family, the funeral of Li Guaizi would have to be presided over by him, the village chief.

I called a few villagers to set up the mourning shed, and then find someone to make a coffin. No matter what, he had to be buried first.

There was no such craftsman in the village, so in the end they could only find Yan Zhennan, the only carpenter in the village.

Although he had never made this thing before, he just treated it as a square box. The village chief didn't require quality anyway.

Li Guaizi died a sudden death and his funeral was held in a hurry, so it can be said that the whole process could not be simpler.

Once the coffin is finished, it can be carried directly to Xiangyang Bay for burial. No one wants to interfere in Li Guaizi's affairs, but when the village chief comes and says some good words, the men in the family always come to help.

What’s more, the New Year is coming soon, so burying the body early will allow everyone to celebrate the new year with peace of mind.

Yan Zhenshen followed a few men to Xiangyang Bay to dig a pit that day. Yan Zhennan did not go. After the coffin was made, he accompanied Qiao Qingyun to the county town. One reason was to clean up, and the other was to prepare some things for the New Year.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, everything was ready. The villagers were preparing to carry the coffin to bury the body when they heard bursts of crying coming from the entrance of the village.

Li Guaizi had been dead for three days, and none of the Li family's uncles or aunts had come. Seeing that the village chief had almost finished arranging things, this group of people finally arrived.

They didn't make any trouble. They just followed the mourners and cried from time to time. It was unclear whether they were sincere or fake, but no tears were seen.

After the body was finally buried, the men in the village walked back together with gloomy faces. They also reminded Li Guaizi's relatives that there would be no funeral banquet, but they still had to give gifts to thank them for their help.

There has always been this rule in the village. Everyone who comes to help has to give a red envelope, and those who help carry the coffin get more, which is the money for the coffin.

So a normal funeral would cost at least two or three taels of silver, and the money given to those who came to help was more than one tael.

Uncle Li was somewhat reluctant to hear this, but he did not refute anything. The amount of the thank-you gift was entirely up to one's heart.

They are not from this village, and the body has already been buried, so giving each of them a few cents as a token of their appreciation will be enough.

This was also the reason why they came here today. They were afraid that if the funeral was to be arranged by their Li family, they would have to ask for this and that from the villagers if they wanted to help. It would be better to wait until the funeral to come and save the trouble and just come to divide Li Guaizi's property directly.

Although Li Guaizi was not very active in his work, his parents still left him some land. He just loved drinking, but he still did the farm work. Although he did not save any money, the land was still there.

For the villagers, owning a house and land is a support.

Once he died, the things he left behind would be left with no one to inherit. As for the children brought by Brother Lin, they were not from the Li family, so naturally no one cared about them.

As soon as the bodies were buried, the uncle and younger uncle of the Li family began to plan how to divide the property.

Brother Lin hasn't woken up yet, so it's impossible to just throw him out. If the house can't be divided, then just divide the land.

As for the house, it’s not too late to divide it whether the person is awake or dead.

But everyone had their own opinions on how to divide it, and before the village chief could say anything, the uncles and aunts of the Li family started arguing.

The village chief was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and he didn't want to argue, so he asked them to go back first and talk about the rest after the New Year. At least he had to wait until Brother Lin woke up before making a decision.

If the uncles and aunts of the Li family wanted to take Li Guaizi's land, they could not get around the village chief no matter what, and naturally they could not offend him at this time.

What's more, the things here can't run away. Brother Lin is just an outsider anyway. Since ancient times, when a woman's boyfriend died, most men would just kick him out of the house, especially those who didn't leave a son for their husbands. There is no need to worry about that.

The uncles and aunts of the Li family left without mentioning the red envelope, nor did they even ask how the person died, let alone go in to check on Brother Lin's condition.

The people who came to help the villagers wanted to stop them, but the village chief stopped them: "New Year's Day is coming soon, there is no need to start a conflict at this time. Don't worry, fellow villagers, you will not lose a penny."

One of the young men said, "Village Chief, what I care about is the thank you gift. What I care about is their attitude. Look at the Li family. They didn't even look at me, let alone thank you."
