Chapter 158 Lin's death due to jealousy (3)
Qu Kuaishou was having wine with the old patriarch, Qu Shun, and Tian Shi from Qu Shun's family, and they all ran over upon hearing the sound.

Touching her chest, Mrs. Deng let out a sigh of relief, and cried angrily, "Mr. Lin will not die sooner or later. She must die on the day my second great-grandson was born."

"Duoyazi just went to the academy, and she is going to take the scientific examination in the next year. After Lin's death, Duoyazi has to observe filial piety for her for three years and cannot take the scientific examination. Lin's stupid woman really beat him." Qu Kuaishou His face was ashen, wishing to throw Lin's body into the mountain for wild dogs to eat.

Tian Shi felt extremely unlucky, so she didn't take a second look, came out and whispered to Qu Shun: "Lin Shi is too jealous, she is so mad."

Outside the door, there were people from the Qu family smiling and carrying gifts to congratulate Qu Kuaishou on the birth of the second grandson. Qu Shun went over to stop him with a straight face, and asked the people to tell each other that the Lin family passed away, and the happy event of adding another person to the Qu family became For funerals, don't come to Qu's house to cause trouble for Qu Kuaishou and his wife.

Little Deng was lying on the bed in the bedroom, next to his two sons.She gave birth to her second son prematurely, less than half a day later, her body was weak, she seemed to hear Qu Kuai swearing in her sleep, and when she woke up, the surroundings were quiet.

She was in a hurry to breastfeed, so she woke up her eldest son, who was just able to walk, and told him to go outside to call for Mrs. Deng.

After a while, Mrs. Deng lowered her head and came in to bring hot chicken soup and chicken rice to Mrs. Deng.

Little Deng was panicking from hunger, gobbled up all the food, sat up to breastfeed her second son, looked up at Deng, staring at the second son in her arms and wiping tears, her heart tightened, and she asked, "Grandma, why are you crying?" ?”

Mrs. Deng knew that this matter could not be concealed, so she said: "Your mother-in-law, Mrs. Lin, is dead. I will discuss with your grandfather, no matter how immoral she is, she is also your father's original wife and your husband's mother. A passable funeral."

Little Deng's tears couldn't stop falling on the delicate cheeks of his second son, and he couldn't say a word.

In the future, her second son will be pointed at the back and gossiped about killing his grandma, Lin Shi.

Her husband can't take the scientific examination in the next year, so now it will take five years before he can take the scientific examination.

Lin's death will add such a blockage to her heart.

Qu Duo received the good news that Xiao Deng gave birth to his second son in Tanzhou Academy, so he happily ran to tell Qu Jiujiu.

The father and son got out of the academy on rare occasions, ordered food and wine in a small restaurant, and drank to celebrate.

In the evening, the father and son went back to the academy and studied hard for half an hour. They were about to rest when they received the news of Mrs. Lin's death.

Lin died of illness, Qu Jiujiu lost his wife, Qu Duo lost his mother, and had to return to Qujia Village.

Qu Jiujiu watched Qu Duo cry over Lin's death, sighed, and said slowly, "Your mother, I'm sorry."

Qu Duo was in a sad mood. He hadn't thought about the scientific examination just now. After hearing this sentence, he thought that he had finally entered Tanzhou Academy, but he would not be able to take the scientific examination in the next year.

Qu Jiujiu was frightened into a cold sweat. He squeezed Qu to wake him up, and asked the doctor to look at him. He was told that depression was not a serious problem. Fake rush back to Qu's house.

Overnight, the Qu family changed. Two lanterns with pale ink characters were hung at the door, the osmanthus and magnolia trees in the yard were covered with white belts, and there was a gloomy wooden coffin in the middle of the main room. The body lay in the coffin.

This coffin was prepared by Qu Kuaishou and his wife for Lin.

In other people's houses, the juniors give to the elders, but in Qu's house it's the other way around.Father-in-law and mother-in-law prepare coffins for daughter-in-law.

Qu Kuaishou was wearing a gray robe and sitting on a willow wooden seat in the main room, not far or near the wooden pavilion.

He had been an executioner for many years and had no fear of the dead at all.Lin dared to beat her when she was alive, and she was not afraid that she would do something strange when she was dead.

Deng didn't sleep all night, and in the morning, he started to make lunch in the kitchen with several family members. His face was pale from exhaustion, but he still insisted on standing upright.

Now the little Deng at home is confinement and has to take care of two children.

She, who has become Grandma Zeng, not only has to work, but also has to do a lot of work.

Qu Kuai looked at his tired children and grandchildren, and said loudly, "I'll wait for you to come back and bury Mrs. Lin!"

He thought all night and had to think in Tongli.

Lin's death is dead. Qu Duo is so young, so he can't take the imperial examination this time. It happens that he can study in Tanzhou Academy for three more years to consolidate his knowledge. If he takes it again next time, he will be more sure of passing the exam.

The old patriarch, Qu Shun was sitting outside the hall.

They thought the same as Qu Kuaishou, the Li family was full of joy, and the Qu family's funeral could be handled quickly, so don't make the Li family feel unlucky.

Qu Shun called the people in the main house and courtyard of the Qu family, and waited for Qu Changjiu and Qu Duo to change their mourning clothes. Then he asked some old men who were invited from the town to blow their trumpets and play mourning music. The strong men of the clan used three crossbars to carry Qu's coffin out of the main room, and went to the mountain where the Qu clan buried their dead.

Qu Duo's eldest son was just one year old, and because he was Lin's eldest grandson, he had to go no matter how young he was. Deng was afraid that he would freeze, so he wore thick cotton clothes inside and linen filial piety outside.

Deng's mother-in-law is an elder and will not go.Qu Kuai hated Lin in his heart and refused to go.

Little Deng was confinement, and his second son was just two days old, so he couldn't go.

Qu Changjiu's grandson and grandson were buried by the Qu family.that's enough.

The Li family sent 500 taels of silver notes and sent Li Laoshi and Li Yunxiao to Qu Jiazhuang.

The He family gave He Huishu 50 taels of silver notes.Deng Ying and He Jingyan each gave another 50 taels of silver notes.

Qu Kuai got so many banknotes, he knew that he was in the favor of his brother-in-law and sister.

At noon, the Qu family set up ten tables of food and invited the Qu people who helped to set up the ceremony. In the evening, they set up three tables and invited the well-connected old patriarch, Qu Shun and his wife to have a meal.

This is considered to be the end of Lin's funeral, until she passes the first seven days, and Qu Jiujiu's grandsons go to the grave to burn incense, then don't care about it. In the future, they will not burn incense and paper for her during the Ching Ming Festival.

Less than a day after Lin's coffin was buried in the ground, four bridesmaids from the town and county came, all of whom wanted to marry Qu Jiujiu, and they were all unmarried girls.

The current in-laws of the Qu family are the Li family, the grand master of the founding marquis.Not to mention Qu Jiujiu, even if Qu Kuaishou loses his wife, a bridal wife will immediately come to tell him about the marriage.

At noon that day, Liu Xiniang arrived in a sedan chair fully dressed.

It's not the first time she's back.This year, when I came to visit Li Jingjing during the holidays, I went to Qujia Village four times.The last time the Li family was away, she even put half a fan of pork in the Qu family, asking Qu Kuaishou and his wife to pass it on.

Qu Kuaishou and his wife have also dealt with Liu Xiniang, and they have a good impression of her.

Liu Xiniang entered the main room and said straight to the point: "Old lady, old man, I'm here to disturb you again. The rich businessman Ding I told you about in your mansion before, made a lot of money in business this year, and moved his family to Tan Zhoucheng Mansion, now raise Miss Ding's dowry to 3 taels of silver."
