Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Wang Dafu and Qin Yue'e were reluctant to leave the gate of the county government office, just like two waiting stones for their children.

But we can't just stay here forever, right? Wang Dagui asked tentatively, "Brother, given our nephew's current situation, why don't you give him some money to help him out? At least make his life more comfortable."

Wang Dafu was stunned. He wanted to, but he was short of money. He had originally wanted to ask his mother for some money in private. It would be embarrassing for him as the eldest brother to say that he had no money in front of his brothers.

So I made an excuse, "We're away from home and don't have that much cash with us. Do you have any? Give it to me first."

"Huh?" Wang Dagui subconsciously rubbed his heels and said with a fake smile, "How can we have any money? The little money we earn all year round is all in our mother's hands, used to pay for my third brother's education. Look at us skinny guys, we can't even get enough to eat, how can we save any money?"

Wang Yucheng also expressed his helplessness, "Brother, you know that studying costs money, and I don't have any extra money."

Wang Dafu thought, if I go home and search my mother's room, I will always find the money, right? "The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and my mother's body can't be protected. Let's send her home for burial first!"

"Okay." Wang Dagui and Wang Yucheng helped push the cart together. They didn't have to pay for it anyway.

It was already the hottest time of the day when they returned to the village. Everyone in the village was resting at home, waiting for it to cool down before going out to do farm work. They didn't meet anyone along the way.

Wang Dafu calculated that if he held a grand funeral, the cost would certainly be very high. However, after searching carefully in Old Lady Wang's room, he found only a few strings of copper coins, which were not enough to buy even a thin coffin.

Old Lady Wang’s funeral, Wang Xiaobao’s bribery, and his plan to turn his life around, all weighed heavily on his mind. What should he do?

On the other side, in Wang Dagui's room, they were also chirping quietly.

"Do you think Big Brother is having some trouble? How could they, the wealthy, go out without banknotes? Xiaobao is their only family! Big Brother has always been so proud, yet he actually asked us for money. Could it be that he's fallen on hard times?"

He Cuihua's heart tightened. "It would be better for San Ya not to recognize them. She'll just suffer if she goes. Anyway, now that your mother is gone, we can split up the family. We don't have to support my uncle anymore, and we'll definitely be able to save some money."

"No!" Wang Dagui and San Ya both refused.

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Big Brother is down and out, his connections and vision are unmatched by us. Now that Xiaobao is in trouble, won't Sanya inherit all his property? Then won't it all be ours?"

San Ya thought so too, mainly because the scary Wang Xiaobao was no longer around, so she was no longer afraid!

He Cuihua was persuaded and began to dream of becoming a rich wife.

Wang Dafu went to the county again. He first went to the inn to get back his few belongings and pawned his most treasured ring. However, people in the small county didn't know the value of it, so he only got back a few taels of silver. It was really a big loss.

On his way home, he met villagers returning from the fields.

"Hey, isn't this Dafu? You're back! Did you make a lot of money? Have you gone home to see your mother?"

Wang Dafu found it hard to resist the villagers' enthusiasm. When they stopped him to chat, he said sadly, "I've seen him..."

Seeing his expression, the villagers thought carefully and said to him, "What a pity for Erya!"

"You haven't been home for so many years, and there's no news from you. Erya's life is so hard! Old Lady Wang is so partial to her. She doesn't even give her enough to eat, and she has to work from dawn to dusk. I can't stand it. I even gave her steamed buns to eat!"

Wang Dafu was a little puzzled when he saw that San Ya didn't look hungry. He replied, "I understand. I will definitely compensate her well in the future."

"Compensation? The person is gone, how can you compensate her? Speaking of which, Old Lady Wang was so stingy that she didn't even give her a proper coffin. She just dug a hole and buried her without even having a feast. It's really heartbreaking."

"What? Erya is gone?" Then who is this Erya now? Wang Dafu's mind was in a mess.

"Yes, Erya is an obedient and sensible child, but you kept her at home. Don't you know what kind of temper Old Lady Wang has? She must be very tormented. Da Ya and San Ya are different because they have their parents to protect them. They still have some weight on their bodies. But Er Ya is really..."

The lady next to her pulled her sleeve and signaled her to stop talking. After all, it was someone else's family affair. If Old Lady Wang knew about it, she would definitely come to her house and beat her up.

The old lady sighed and said, "You've said too much. Erya has already left. Don't argue with your mother when you go back, and don't say it was us who said that. We still have to go back and cook."

"There won't be a quarrel. My mother has already passed away." Wang Dafu, who had figured it out, was calmer than ever before. He quietly hid the money he had pawned and was not going to take it out.

"Where did she go?" They were still confused. "Huh? Dead? I saw her cursing in the street yesterday. How could she be gone so suddenly?"

Wang Dafu didn't answer them, but just kept walking back with his head down.

When we came back, He Cuihua had already prepared dinner. The whole family sat around the table. The meal was boring and of course not very tasty.

Wang Dafu put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed, "I plan to keep Mom's funeral simple. She passed away so suddenly that we couldn't wait to buy a coffin, so it's more important to bury her first. When I get the money next time, I'll renovate the graves for Dad and Mom."

Seeing that his two younger brothers had no objections, Wang Dafu took out a few strings of copper coins and said, "Wrap it in a straw mat first, dig a hole and bury it next to Dad. Keep all the ceremonies simple, it should be enough."

Wang Yucheng hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

Wang Dagui felt guilty because he was the one who dug the trap for Erya, so he did not refute.

Old Lady Wang's funeral ended so hastily. There was no music or singing, no wake or mourning. She was sent straight up the mountain. There was a feast, but it was sparsely furnished and its shabby appearance was shocking.

The relatives were talking about it. Wang Dagui and Wang Yucheng looked a little ashamed, but Wang Dafu still had that sad face, nothing else.

Old Mrs. Wang is not very popular, but people are willing to listen to her gossip, especially since such a strong person suddenly passed away. People always feel that there is something behind it.

Someone investigated and actually found out that Old Mrs. Wang was beaten to death by her grandson when she went to look for her son. It's really sad!

As soon as this incident spread, Wang Dagui and his wife were criticized, and their future lives would be difficult, but all this had nothing to do with Wang Dafu.
