Niu Jinlian was almost clapping her hands in applause. She shouted even louder, "Come on, everyone, come and listen. She admitted it herself. As the granddaughter-in-law, she actually laughed at grandma's funeral. It's really outrageous."

Song Chunlan was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe and her whole body was shaking.

Zhang Guicai stared at Yuan Junyao intently.

Yuan Junyao looked at them as if they were clowns.

"Are you crazy?" Zhang Lai Fu couldn't help but accuse.

He knew that Yuan Junyao definitely didn't smile on purpose. She cried all the way here and her eyes were still red. He really didn't dare to think about her smile.

At this time, the villagers watching were also whispering.

"Could it be that Yuan Junyao's brain got damaged by hanging herself? She usually seems quite filial and often visits grandma, so how come she can still smile now?"

"I was just pretending, but I was exposed when I wasn't careful."

"Didn't you see? She's laughing at those who are crying. The granddaughter-in-law has taken care of her grandmother, and she's done her best. Why is she crying? A bowl of water in life is better than a pile of ashes after death, understand?"

Yuan Junyao looked at these faces and directly removed their fig leaves without giving them any face.

"I'm laughing at your pretense. Besides, why can't I laugh? Second Aunt said it well: everyone has eyes. I, Yuan Junyao, have done my best for grandma. I have a clear conscience. I've been married to the Zhang family for a month, and I've been filial to the old man every day.

What if I don’t cry? What if I laugh? I’m happy. I’m glad. Grandma is relieved! "

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The faces of Niu Jinlian, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned pale and blue.

Song Chunlan snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You heard it, right? So what if you laughed? Does crying mean you're filial?"

Although she wasted her time with her daughter-in-law, she remained consistent with the outside world.

Yin Sanniang quickly agreed, "Sister-in-law is right. If you fulfilled your filial duties during your lifetime, it doesn't matter whether you cry or not after your death."

Yuan Junyao didn't give them any face and said loudly, "What I said just now was directed at all of you. My filial piety is because of me personally, not on behalf of the eldest wife. I am filial because I was well-educated as a daughter of the Yuan family."

Yuan Junyao ignored everyone's gloomy faces and looked directly at Zhang Laiyan at the back of the crowd.

Zhang Lai Yan was unusually well-behaved today, perhaps because he felt guilty.

Yuan Junyao's serious expression instantly softened, and she said, "Sister Lai Yan, I heard that grandma was not feeling well yesterday, so you came to stay with her all night.

Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, grandma would have been so miserable without anyone by her bedside before she died."

Zhang Laiyan was still in shock after what happened in the morning. When Yuan Junyao spoke to her, she immediately started shaking with fear and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

And everyone in the surrounding villages knew who Zhang Laiyan was.

How could she be so filial as to serve her grandmother by her bedside?

Song Chunlan keenly sensed something and immediately stepped forward to protect her daughter.

"She's young and hasn't experienced anything like this before. She's still so scared!"

"Oh."

Yuan Junyao responded indifferently and looked at Yin Sanniang again.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you had a quarrel with Sister Lai Yan last night and even burned your hand. Is your hand okay?"

Yin Sanniang didn't know why she asked this, but subconsciously felt that she must have other intentions. She only said cautiously: "It's okay, she didn't mean it."

Yuan Junyao nodded without saying anything else. She put on mourning clothes and then knelt in front of the brazier to burn paper.

Song Chunlan stared at Yuan Junyao with deep eyes. She had already realized that Yuan Junyao was targeting Zhang Laiyan.

At this time, Zhang Lai Fu also came to his senses. His face turned grim, and he realized that Yuan Junyao was trying to trick him on the way back.

But she was so smart that she guessed the whole thing almost exactly.

Yuan Junyao just didn't want them to stop, so she kept muttering while burning paper:

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Look up and there's Heaven, look down and there's the King of Hell. Rest assured, Grandma. There's also a judge in the world."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the flames in the brazier shot up high.

"what."

Everyone was shocked, but Zhang Laiyan screamed loudly, as if she had gone crazy.

Yuan Junyao slowly stood up, letting the flames in the brazier beside her fly.

This anomaly has already attracted everyone's attention.

And she just added some chemicals to the brazier.

"There's a ghost, it's haunted, ah ah, grandma, don't look for me, I didn't mean to, it's not @¥&"

Song Chunlan immediately covered her mouth and glared at Yuan Junyao fiercely.

Yuan Junyao looked at her from afar across the brazier, her lips curled up silently, which was a provocation.

Anyone with a keen eye can naturally guess what happened, but a brainless person may not understand even if you make it clear to her.

Song Chunlan called Yin Sanniang, and the two of them dragged Zhang Lai Yan away together.

She didn't cover Zhang Laiyan's mouth several times, allowing her to say a lot of words, and she even bit Song Chunlan.

Yuan Junyao's move also intimidated the people from the second house.

She had only been married for a month, so the people in the second house didn't know her well.

But judging from what happened today, she is definitely not a pushover.

Yuan Junyao slowly threw a few pieces of paper money into the brazier, and the flames calmed down again.

This move really stunned everyone.

A child from the second house asked, "Can you control fire?"

Yuan Junyao smiled and said, "It's my grandma who is in heaven."

This is very strange and makes people shudder.

Yuan Junyao looked at Zhang Guicai, then at Zhang Guiyun, and finally fixed her gaze on Niu Jinlian. She said, "Hasn't grandma's burial clothes and coffin been prepared yet?"

Niu Jinlian said honestly: "Not yet, the funeral arrangements haven't even started yet."

Yuan Junyao said calmly, "Keep the funeral simple. Grandma's wish before her death was that her descendants could live a peaceful life. But she gave birth to two sons and has countless grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It's impossible for her to not even have decent clothes and a coffin."

Yuan Junyao said this and specifically asked: "Father-in-law, Second Uncle, are you right?"

Who dares to say it's wrong? So many people are watching. Wouldn't that be unfilial?

Zhang Guicai said: "Of course this is as it should be."

Zhang Guiyun also said: "It's what I should do."

"Then each family should contribute five taels of silver. A common coffin would cost at least six or seven taels. The rest would be enough for a set of burial clothes and funeral arrangements."

Niu Jinlian reacted and said, "You are the grandson's wife. No matter what, it is not your turn to decide these matters! You are really overstepping your authority."

Yuan Junyao said calmly, "Since Second Aunt knows that these matters are not for me, the granddaughter-in-law, to decide, then why doesn't Second Aunt, as the daughter-in-law, hurry up and decide and take care of these matters?

And you let the old man lie there in all his dirtiness, with no one paying any attention to him?"
