Chapter 569 Funeral
The third grandma's funeral was very grand. After all, there was only one elder in the third house of the Su family. When she passed away, this house would be for Su Xiangbing's father's generation to discuss some important matters.

After Grandma Su came and sat for a while, Second Grandma and Second Grandpa came over with their support.

"I thought she would live longer than me, but who knew she would die earlier than me."

As soon as Second Grandma Su opened her mouth, tears fell down her cheeks.

These sisters-in-law, now only she and the fourth family are left, how can I not feel uncomfortable?

When people reach a certain age, they naturally begin to fear death and disease.

Grandma Su is no exception.

At noon, Zhao Hongmei rushed back with Su Xiaoruan. The mother and daughter rode directly to Su Xiangbing's side, and then were dragged by Su Guoan's wife to change into mourning clothes.

Su Xiaoruan's filial piety is simple, after all, she is a generation younger.

It's been a long time since Su Xiangnan married his wife. The festive energy hasn't dissipated yet, and the funeral is about to happen.

Everyone's heart is a little heavy.

In fact, they all understood that if the house had not been crushed by the heavy snow that year, the third grandpa would not have passed away so early, and the third grandma would not have injured her leg, so she should have lived for several more years.

Things are unpredictable.

At this point, if you say anything, it will be too late.

Brothers Su Guofu and Su Guosheng were both standing in the yard. If someone came, the two brothers had to kowtow to him as a gift.

Liu Xiaoduo and several other women were in the room, and there was a burst of crying from time to time.

Life is better now. The third grandma hasn’t suffered too much since her leg was injured. It’s just that it’s not convenient for her to move around, but her two sons can treat her well in terms of food and drink, especially Su Guosheng’s family. If there is a morsel of fine food, he will cling to her first; if there is meat, he has to send her a bowl.

Liu Xiaoduo was originally a calculating person, but this time he was attending a funeral for the old lady, and she also knew that men were in charge of many things, so she stopped talking.

But talking less doesn't mean she just wants to calm things down.

Su Guoan was in charge of this funeral, whether it was purchasing or other things, it had to go through his hands.

Finally, how much money was spent, and how much gift money was given by relatives and folks, was also summed up, and then handed over to the two brothers to see how the money was paid out.

The money recovered is definitely not worth the money spent.

When Su Guoan came over, the two brothers were asked to take out two hundred first, and agreed to refund more and make up less.

Now the money is not spent.

There are more than 100 left.

The reason why funerals are expensive is that apart from buying meat and vegetables, it is mainly because of some necessary things for funerals, such as urns, digging graves and so on.

Although the work of digging graves is done by people of our own clan, we can't let them be busy in vain.

Su Guoan's accounts are very clear. How much cigarettes and alcohol he bought, he never lost a single penny.

Logically speaking, the remaining money should be shared equally between the two, but Liu Xiaoduo was not happy about it.

The reason Liu Xiaoduo gave was also very simple. Some of the presents were given for Guosheng's face, but some were given for Su Guofu's face. She thought that there were many people giving presents for Su Guofu, so this Su Guofu should share the rest of the money.

Su Guofu didn't say a word. After being with this sister-in-law for so many years, how could he not know her temperament?

Su Guoan frowned and said to her: "They all belong to the folks in the village. Except for a few special ones, which one can you say is better than Guofu?"

There is really no way to say this.

They all live in the same brigade, and the people who give favors are all fellow villagers, so it's really impossible to calculate the accounts so carefully.

Who doesn't have a few particularly good brothers to play with?

But it's not worth eight cents, and Su Guoan didn't share it with their brothers, mainly because it's hard for them to separate out, let alone outsiders!

Su Guofu still wanted face after all, so he said with a black face, "Okay, what's the matter with you! Go back!"

Liu Xiaoduo wanted to say more, but was dragged back by a girl from her natal family.

This kind of thing is indeed difficult to distinguish clearly. Is it really because of such a fight between three melons and two dates?
My old lady has just passed away, so aren't you afraid of disturbing the old lady's peace?

In the end, the rest of the money was split equally.

Seeing that they had divided the money, Su Guoan could arrange the rest.

The old house where the old lady lived was actually given to Su Guofu. It was agreed at the beginning that after she left, the house would be given to Su Guofu.

In fact, it is just two adobe houses, and there is nothing to worry about.

But during the Chinese New Year this year, the old lady specially invited a few managers in the clan to come to the house and confessed her last words clearly.

The old lady still has some money in her hand, not much, a total of more than 50 yuan. What she said at the time was that she would keep it first, and when she died, she would give the money to the children of Su Xiangbing's family for schooling. .

At that time Liu Xiaoduo was not happy, saying that the old lady was biased.

The old lady didn't give her any face, and just said how Su Xiangbing and his wife respected her all these years, not to mention the dishes and cooking, but only the clothes and bedding she wore, which was not given by Su Xiangbing and his wife. She set it up?Even if it was dirty, Xiang Bing's wife took it apart and washed it for her.

It's been several years, and the old lady feels that she can only leave fifty or so yuan, which is considered a small amount, and she also feels that she has treated Su Xiangbing's wife badly.

Liu Xiaoduo quit and wanted to make trouble again, but Su Guofu forcibly pressed him down.

For so many years, how Su Xiangbing's family has taken care of the elderly, everyone in the family has also seen it.

Not to mention adults, even Xiaoshui Xiaomu and his brothers also packed the firewood for the yard for the first year. They usually fetch water, sweep the yard and clean up the house. It's either the two of them or Su Xiangbing. Liu Xiaoduo can do all these tasks with one finger I didn't even move my head.

The old lady didn't mention Su Guofu's name, but could Su Guofu himself not be ashamed?
As his own son, he is not as filial as his grandson and great-grandson, he would be ashamed to say it!

Now that the old lady was gone, Su Guoan invited several respected elders from the clan over, counted all the money, and gave it to Su Xiangbing.

After Su Xiangbing took it, he cried so sadly.

Su Xiangbing was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, so he was naturally close to her.

And Liu Xiaoduo looked at Su Xiangbing like this, gave him a supercilious look, and muttered, "Huh, she's being a good girl when she gets a bargain. I've never seen such an old lady who has money in her hand, instead of giving it to her son, she gave it to her grandson instead!"

No one paid any attention to Liu Xiaoduo, and knew that she was talking sourly.

"Guofu went back to the brigade to go through the formalities of the house. I will issue a certificate for you, and then you have to go to the commune to do it."
