The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang was in charge of all the funeral arrangements for Xie's mother. Xie Meilan was so sad that she could not do anything.

Shen Lin and Na Wei came over to help, and the child was temporarily taken care of by the nanny.

Because Mr. and Mrs. Shen lived far away, they were unable to make it in time and could only wait until the day of the burial.

Wang Gang found a professional funeral company and spent 20,000 yuan to hold a simple yet not minimalist farewell ceremony. He didn't have to worry too much about the entire funeral. The only thing Wang Gang had to do was to take good care of Xie Meilan.

Xie's mother's last wish was to be buried at sea, but Xie Meilan disagreed no matter what, so the cemetery issue was delayed. After Xie's mother was cremated, her ashes were temporarily stored in the funeral home.

On the day of the farewell ceremony, Na Wei not only came to help, but also called his younger brother Na Jun and his girlfriend Li Xiaoyue to come.

Na Jun is a programmer in a large company with an annual salary of one million, which makes him more money than Na Wei. However, he is very busy at work and often has to work overtime. He even sleeps in the company at least four days a week.

Li Xiaoyue is Na Jun’s girlfriend. She is almost thirty years old, but there is no sign of being worn down by society and she still maintains a youthful aura.

"Shen Lei, Meilan, please accept my condolences. Auntie doesn't want to see you devastated." Na Jun comforted.

Na Jun took out an envelope and stuffed it into Wang Gang's hand. Wang Gang felt it and found that there should be about five thousand yuan in it.

"I have something to do at the company and will be leaving soon. If you need anything, just tell me." Na Jun said politely.

"Thank you." Wang Gang nodded.

Li Xiaoyue touched her boyfriend's arm with some dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you ask for leave? Wait until the farewell ceremony is over!"

Na Jun said in embarrassment: "There is a bug at the company, I have to rush back."

Li Xiaoyue asked: "Is there no one else in your company?"

Na Jun glanced at Wang Gang and said awkwardly: "The program is the responsibility of the team I lead. Many things cannot be solved when I am not here."

Wang Gang stepped forward and said, "Na Jun, if you have something to do, just go and do it!"

Na Jun is just Na Wei's younger brother, and he has never met Xie's mother. Logically, he doesn't need to show up at Xie's mother's funeral. It's already very thoughtful of him to come and say hello and give a gift of 5,000 yuan.

Although Xie Meilan was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything.

After Na Jun left, Li Xiaoyue kept apologizing to Wang Gang and Xie Meilan, feeling very embarrassed.

"Xiaoyue, it's okay. You can leave first if you have something else."

"I'm fine. I'll stay and see if I can help." Li Xiaoyue volunteered.

Wang Gang looked at his sister Shen Lin and said to Li Xiaoyue: "Then you go to my sister's place!"

"Okay." Li Xiaoyue went straight to find Shen Lin.

Shen Lin was placing wreaths and preparing elegiac couplets with the people from the funeral company, and Li Xiaoyue came to help.

"Sister Lin, let me help you." Li Xiaoyue directly helped Shen Lin carry the wreath, not considering herself an outsider at all.

Shen Lin also likes Li Xiaoyue very much, and there is no false courtesy.

"Xiaoyue, help me hang the elegiac couplet on the wreath."

"Okay." Li Xiaoyue hung the elegiac couplet quickly.

The two of them worked together and quickly decorated the mourning hall, which looked very grand.

Shen Lin gave Li Xiaoyue a bottle of water and asked, "Are you tired?"

Li Xiaoyue laughed heartily and said, "Not tired. I used to work in the company and I wasn't tired even after moving more than a dozen boxes of goods."

"After the ceremony, you and Na Jun will come to my house for dinner. Shen Lei and Xie Meilan will also come." Shen Lin said.

"Sister Lin." Li Xiaoyue glanced at Wang Gang who was accompanying Xie Meilan and said, "I heard that when Auntie left, only Shen Lei was with her."

Shen Lin's face suddenly turned cold, and she said unhappily: "This time when Xie Meilan's mother was sick, my brother has been taking care of her. Xie Meilan only knows how to work all day long. She was on a business trip the day my aunt passed away."

Li Xiaoyue was surprised and said: "Xie Meilan seems to love her mother very much! How could this happen?" "Humph." Shen Lin said with resentment: "My brother is also honest. My son-in-law has done all the work of my son. Otherwise, how could Xie Meilan be so relaxed."

"It's really not easy for Shen Lei." Li Xiaoyue sighed.

"That's right! When Xie Meilan's mother got sick, my brother lost a lot of weight."

Shen Lin has always been dissatisfied with her sister-in-law Xie Meilan. She always feels that she is ignorant and does not care about her biological mother's affairs. Instead, she lets her son-in-law Wang Gang run around for her.

After all, Shen Lin also felt sorry for her younger brother, but for the sake of her brother and sister-in-law's marital happiness, she never dared to express it and only complained in front of Li Xiaoyue.

Before the farewell ceremony, Xie Meilan’s leader Lu Jie ran over and stuffed a large envelope into Xie Meilan’s hand.

"I am sorry for your loss."

Xie Meilan burst into tears as soon as she saw Lu Jie. She was very sad. If Wang Gang hadn't held her back, she would have thrown herself into Lu Jie's arms.

Lu Jie did not leave until the farewell ceremony was over. Wang Gang took Xie Meilan and got into Na Wei's car.

"I don't want to eat dinner. I want to go home." Xie Meilan said to Wang Gang dejectedly.

"You haven't eaten well for several days. Eat a little! My sister asked the nanny to prepare some vegetarian dishes." Wang Gang persuaded.

"I really can't eat anymore. I just want to sleep for a while." Xie Meilan said with a sullen face.

Shen Lin and Na Wei, who was driving, looked at each other and said to Xie Meilan, "Meilan, if you are tired, go home and rest first. I will ask Shen Lei to bring some food back later. You can heat it up when you are hungry."

Xie Meilan didn't say anything and was very rude, but Shen Lin didn't say anything because she had just seen her mother off.

Na Wei first drove Xie Meilan home, and then the four of them went back to Na Wei and Shen Lin's house for dinner.

At the dinner table, Wang Gang took two bites of rice and said to his sister: "Sister, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's wrong?" Shen Lin asked puzzledly.

"I want to divorce Xie Meilan." Wang Gang said shockingly.

Clang.

Li Xiaoyue lost her grip on her bowl and it fell onto the table.

"Ah, why do you suddenly want to divorce?" Shen Lin said in surprise.

Wang Gang glanced at Li Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue is not an outsider either. I will just say something directly. I feel that Xie Meilan and I have too many differences in personality and we just can't get along."

Shen Lin said worriedly: "You and Xie Meilan have known each other for more than ten years, and you are only saying now that your personalities are incompatible."

Na Wei also said: "Shen Lei, Xie Meilan just lost her only relative. It's not a good idea for you to file for divorce now!"

"Yes." Shen Lin advised: "Xie Meilan has been in a bad mood recently because of her mother's affairs, but it's understandable. You have been married for so many years, and it's not kind for her to ask for a divorce now when she is most sad!"

Wang Gang sighed and said, "It is because of my mother-in-law that I have endured until now. I was originally planning to divorce Xie Meilan after the funeral, and today I am just saying hello to you."

Shen Lin frowned and asked, "Is there really no room for maneuver?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "We are still young and don't have any children. It's good for both of us to break up now."

Na Wei stared at Wang Gang seriously and asked, "Shen Lei, tell me honestly, you are alone outside, right?"

Shen Lin put down her chopsticks angrily and said to her husband: "Nawei, don't talk nonsense, my brother is not that kind of person."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Na Wei said with relief: "That's good, but I still want to advise you to be cautious about the divorce. It will be hard to explain to my parents."

"Yes! My parents also said that on the day Xie Meilan's mother was buried, they rushed over from their hometown to bid farewell to her. I still have to discuss the divorce with my parents!"

Wang Gang sighed inwardly, realizing that divorce is not only a matter between two people, but also a matter between two families.

Divorce is not destined to be easy. (End of this chapter)
