Countdown to Awakening

Although Chen Jiade was reluctant, he didn't say much. If there was money to be made, then make some. Even if this woman died, she would still be able to contribute to the family.

Marrying her and feeding her is the greatest charity you can give her.

If he hadn't married Liu Yingdi, I don't know if Liu Yingdi would have the face to live in the village now... If he hadn't married her, no one would want her...

Now that she's dead, she still wants to take revenge on her family... She doesn't even spare her own son. What a vicious woman!

Chen Jiade's mother lowered the price to 300 yuan. Jiang Wen gritted his teeth and gave the money. Then he picked up a piece of cloth from the wooden cart, wrapped Yingdi, carried him up and went out.

Chen Jiade couldn't help but frown and cover his mouth when he smelled the smell.

This damn woman is still bringing trouble to the family even after she is gone.

Jiang Wen wiped the tears from his eyes. Grandma Qian pulled a yellow talisman from her pocket and placed it on Yingdi.

At this moment, Mengdi suddenly came out of the house.

"Mom...! What are you doing? Let go of my mom! Let her go!"

Mengdi chased out.

Grandma Qian grabbed her. "Nizi, don't stop me. Your mother needs to be buried. If you stop me again, she won't be able to leave!"

Mengdi looked up at Jiang Wen and pleaded, "Uncle Jiang, where are you taking my mother?" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Jiade hurried out to stop it.

"You money-losing idiot, how dare you stop me from leaving? Come home quickly! If your brother gets sick again because of this, I'll make you suffer!" Chen Jiade came out and dragged Mengdi into the house.

Before Jiang Wen could say anything, Mengdi disappeared before his eyes.

Grandma Qian advised her to stop interfering, as burying Yingdi was more important. "Be careful, if you interfere too much, you won't even be able to bury Yingdi!"

Jiang Wen simply made up his mind and pushed the cart away.

Yingdi was wrapped in cloth, so people coming and going in the village were naturally curious about what he was pushing.

It smells foul, definitely not a good thing.

"How do you plan to let her go? Burial or cremation?" Grandma Qian asked in a low voice.

"Let's cremate him first. We'll talk about it later. I'll find a way." Jiang Wen replied.

Grandma Qian shook her head.

Jiang Wen, an outsider, knew how to behave in the most respectable way. How could the Chen family, with so many members, not have any idea of ​​this? They just didn't want to.

Poor Yingdi suffered for so many years in his family and finally lost her life. The Chen family still didn't care and let Jiang Wen deal with it... Alas, these things are not worth it at all.

"Jiang Wen, if it wasn't for Teacher Li who was with you telling me, I wouldn't have known about this. You are really thoughtful. If Yingdi had married you, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

What a pity for this poor couple.

Jiang Wen forced a smile and replied, "Grandma Qian, let's not talk about the past anymore. It's been so long. Now I just hope Yingdi can pass away peacefully. It won't be in vain that I loved her so much. If there is an afterlife, I hope she and I will be husband and wife in the next one."

Jiang Wen pushed Yingdi all the way to the only dilapidated funeral home in the town.

The Chen family is still in turmoil.

"You little bitch, you want to rush out and make the whole village laugh at you, right? As soon as that Jiang Wen shows up, you go out and act pathetic? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass our family?!"

Mengdi remained silent, immersed in sorrow.

Chen Jiade couldn't help but get even angrier when he saw her like this. This damn girl must have done it on purpose! Otherwise, why would she just burst out crying like that?

He was so angry that he slapped Mengdi again.

"Oh... don't hit her. Grandma Qian said that she is destined to have siblings. If you hit her, our Tianci life will be difficult in the future!" said the mother.

"Mom, you believe what that old woman said? What if she is lying to you? Just listen to her words, don't take them seriously." Chen Jiade still had a disdainful attitude.

The mother shook her head. "Jia De, it's better to believe something like this than not. Don't hit her for no reason in the future. If you hurt Tianci, it will be a disaster for us!"

"...I can't hit the older one, I can't hit the younger one, and that bitch is gone. Where can I vent my anger?! Or you can find me another wife, or I'll have to live alone for the rest of my life. I don't want that."

"Son, don't I live alone? I raised you with all my heart and soul, so why can't I? There are no young girls in this village, right? Even those who have girls don't want to marry you. How old are the girls in the village? The two oldest ones are already away at university. Do you want me to find that widow to be your wife? I don't want to!"

When talking about Zhang Mei, Chen Jiade also had a look of disdain on his face. "Her? Is she good enough for me? Who wants a widow? It's so unlucky! Besides, she has a son. I want a virgin. Otherwise, I will be alone and helpless for the rest of my life. I won't do that."

The mother sighed and continued, "Son, our family doesn't have enough money to marry you off. The 300 yuan Jiang Wen just gave us has to be used to buy Tianci milk powder... Isn't it okay for you not to marry? If your father is gone, won't I be all alone?"

"That's different. I'm a man. If I don't have a wife, the whole village will laugh at me. I don't care about anything else. I have to find one. Otherwise, how can I succeed?"

As he spoke, he thought of Qin Zixin again.

If Qin Zixin could marry me, perhaps it would be the best outcome?

-

Jiang Wen walked out of the funeral home in a daze, holding a small box.

He put away the small box and took out a photo from his pocket.

It was a photo of him and Yingdi a few years ago.

Memories flooded back into my mind—

That year, Yingdi was only seventeen years old and was studying in high school with him. They were very good friends and knew each other's feelings.

The two came to this photo studio, and Jiang Wen and Yingdi pooled their money to take a photo with a red background. They also said that they must get married in the future.

Walking into the familiar photo studio, Jiang Wen was a little at a loss.

The boss recognized him and asked casually, "Hey, isn't this the young man from back then? What are you taking photos for this time? Wedding photos? Why isn't your girlfriend here with you?"

"Boss, do you still have the negatives of us back then?"

The boss smiled and replied, "Yes, how can we delete such a handsome man and beautiful woman?"

"That's good."

The boss seemed to see something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter? You want the negatives?"

"Boss, to be honest with you, my girlfriend passed away. Can you cut out a separate part of that photo? I want to make a posthumous portrait of her..."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, the boss was stunned, and then he said, "Okay... I'll find it for you, please wait a moment."
