Chapter 243 The Funeral
"What Princess Kangning means is that the state owns the state law, the family has family rules, and everything is done according to the law."

Master Song said coldly.

Just one sentence, immediately called Tong Zhiming Yan.

Tong Zhi'er said one thing and one thing, and if he said no to him, then he would be ignored.

At that moment, Tong Zhiming suddenly regretted a little, why did he have such a foolish thought, with Tong Zhi'er's current status, he walked outside, who would not give him a three-point face, what to do is not good, and he is unreasonable. To mess with something like this.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

No matter how regretful Tong Zhiming was, he knew that the situation was over, and he could only sit and wait for the execution three days later.

.........

"Oh, the fifth son of the Tong family, something has happened. Your eldest brother was arrested and imprisoned. I heard that he is going to be executed."

A man ran into the yard of Tong's old house panting.

Tong Zhiyi, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly froze.

After all, the eldest brother lived with him, and he also helped to buy vegetables on weekdays. Now that something happened to Tong Zhiming, Tong Zhiyi was still a little worried.

"My elder brother, what did he do?"

"I don't know about that. I was late when I went, so I only heard from others that Mr. Song put the boss of the Tong family in prison, and he will be executed in three days."

Tong Zhiyi clenched his fist.

"Uncle Li, thank you very much."

The man shook his head and walked out of the yard.

Tong Zhiyi was dazed in the kitchen for a long time, then pulled back and went to Tong Zhi'er's house.

At this time, it was almost evening.

When Tong Zhiyi passed by, Tong Zhixin's family was about to send Fang Dalin and Tong Huaer's family away.

Tong Zhiyi looked at the four families talking and laughing at Yanyan, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Fifth brother?"

When Fang Cuiwei said this to Yao Shi, he inadvertently turned his head to see Tong Zhiyi, and said in doubt.

With her mouth, everyone's eyes were focused on Tong Zhiyi.

With his eyes on him, Tong Zhiyi hurried over, but knelt on the ground and said, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, please save elder brother, don't take his life, as long as elder brother is alive."

The faces of Tong Zhixin and others became a little ugly.

Tong Zhiyi didn't know if he said this out of nowhere, or on purpose.

Want Tong Zhiming's life?

Besides Tong Zhiming's own death, who would want his life?

"Fifth brother, you get up first. In this matter of elder brother, he made a mistake first and killed a person." Tong Zhixin said in a deep voice.

Tong Zhiyi's body froze, and he looked at Tong Zhixin in disbelief, "Brother, did you hurt someone?"

Tong Zhixin nodded.

Looking at the shocked look of the fifth brother, it seems that he didn't know that the elder brother had committed the crime of murder.

"Fifth brother..." Tong Zhixin called out to him.

However, Tong Zhiyi didn't hear it, and kept replaying the words "Brother has harmed someone" in his mind.

.........

At night, Tong Zhixin's family was talking in the house.

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhi'er lit wormwood to smoke the mosquitoes, and after a while, the room was filled with a strong fragrance of wormwood.

"Fifth, it really has changed."

She took care of the old lady, kept few words, pleaded for the elder brother, and left after knowing that the elder brother had harmed someone.

Fang Cuiwei also sighed, "People always change."

…………

On the day that Tong Zhiming was not asked to be killed, Tong Zhixin and others all went.

Although he committed a crime, he is a family after all, so he must be buried in peace.

The mourning hall was set up in Tong's old house. On this day, people from the whole village came to express their condolences.

It was Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin who arranged the mourning hall, and the banquet and funeral affairs were all paid by the two of them.

The coffins made for Tong Zhiming were the best coffins for 20 taels of silver.

This is not only for him, but also for living people like Tong Zhixin.

When buying the coffin, Tong Zhixin was afraid that Tong Zhi'er would be unhappy, so he asked her about it in advance.

Although Tong Zhi'er hates this uncle, death is like a lamp going out, and parents can do whatever they want to do with the afterlife, not to mention that it is only 20 taels of silver, so she doesn't feel bad about it.

The funeral was carried out in an orderly manner.

After guarding the spirit for three days, Tong Zhiming was about to be buried for his work.

On this day, a small episode happened.

The old lady, who had been in a daze, didn't know what was going on, but suddenly she was fine.

"Fifth, fifth..."

Everyone was arranging their clothes when they suddenly heard the old lady speak.

The voice was hoarse like a broken gong.

She hadn't spoken for several years, and she trembled for a long time before uttering every word, which was very laborious.

Everyone made way for Tong Zhiyi to pass.

"mother!"

Tong Zhiyi's eyes widened, no less excited than the old lady.

It's been several years, and this is the first time the old lady has spoken since she became demented.

"Old five... who... who is there..."

The old lady tightly tugged on Tong Zhiyi's sleeve, and looked at the coffin in the main room with some fear.

White flowers and hangings were also chosen throughout the yard.

The old lady looked around with horror on her face.

"Mother," Tong Zhiyi's eyes turned red, the older he got, and the changes in Tong's old house over the years, the more he could feel what it means to be impermanent, "It's the elder brother, the elder brother has gone."

The old lady's eyes widened and she staggered.

She looked at Tong Zhixin and the others standing in front, without hiding the hatred in her eyes.

"It's you..."

Tong Zhixin and the others turned cold.

Sure enough, the normal old lady only hated them.

"Mother, no, it wasn't the second brother and the fourth brother. It was the eldest brother who harmed someone and violated the law of the court, so he was beheaded." Tong Zhiyi hurriedly explained.

The old lady didn't listen to him, "Yes, it was their trick...killed the old man...killed your elder brother...now, they are going to kill me..."

"mother!"

Tong Zhiyi looked at the old lady in shock, and kept explaining to her.

The old lady shook off him, and strode towards Tong Zhixin's direction. She walked very fast, but her feet were unstable. If she didn't pay attention, she would fall to the ground.

Everyone was far away, and they didn't expect the old lady to be like this, so they didn't have time to hold him back.

"mother!"

Tong Zhiyi knelt on the ground, terrified in his heart.

His father is dead, his elder brother is dead, and now his mother is also dead. He is the only one left in this Tong family's old house.

"Ping, Ping..."

Tong Zhixin shouted in a hurry.

"Quickly, carry the old lady into the house."

A group of people in the main room turned their backs.

In the room, the three brothers Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhide and Tong Zhiyi, as well as Luo Shi, Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhier and others standing behind them all looked nervously at Dong Ping who was taking the old lady's pulse.

Tong Duo'er is pregnant, so it's not good for her to come to this funeral.

"Ah Ping, how is the old lady?"

Seeing Dong Ping's serious expression, Tong Zhide asked.

"Originally, the old lady still has several years to live, but today's collision will not last seven days."

Dong Ping shook his head and sighed.

Tong Zhiyi immediately lay down beside the old lady's bed and began to cry.

He cried so sadly that his whole face was wrinkled into a ball.

Fang Cuiwei and Luo Shi brought hot water from the kitchen into the house, and wiped the wound on the old lady's forehead.

Outside, the guests heard the cries inside the house, and knew that it must be the old lady of the Tong family who was ill.

After all, there were guests, and Tong Zhiming had to be buried. After staying in the room for a while, Tong Zhixin and others walked out of the room.

The sound of blowing and beating the suona gradually went away, Tong Zhiyi looked at the pale old lady with weak breath, his eyes were extremely dry.

After crying for a long time, his throat was so dry that even swallowing saliva hurt so badly.

"Thank you, everyone. Please forgive me for the poor reception today."

In Tong's old house, Tong Zhixin apologized to everyone.

Everyone didn't care about this, but they sympathized with Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin more and more.

In the past few years, Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin have taken care of the old lady and the Tong family's old house, and everyone has noticed.

Who would have thought that the old lady would hate the two of them so much when she suddenly woke up today.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. I am afraid that the old lady's temperament will never be changed in her lifetime.

However, the sympathy of the crowd did not last long.

Seven days later, another mourning hall was set up in Tong's old house.

People, or those people.

However, it was the old lady of the Tong family who was lying in the coffin this time.

After returning home that time, the matter spread.

Some people say that the two brothers Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin are pitiful.

Some people say that the old lady of Tong's family has been stupid for several years, I'm afraid this is a flashback.

After receiving the news from the two brothers Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhide, everyone believed that on the day of Tong Zhiming's funeral, the old lady's anomaly was a flashback.

After all, she is the mother of Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin.

The old lady's funeral was naturally more complicated than Tong Zhiming's, and more grand.

It is best used for entertaining guests.

Crying Spirit is also very powerful.

In the old lady's mourning hall, there are coffins lying in coffins, and the shrouds she wears, all of which have opened the eyes of the guests who came to worship.

In private, he praised the two brothers Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin.

…………

Tong Zhiyi stood in the yard in a daze.

It was very quiet all around.

Nuoda's Tong's old house no longer had the noise and crying that he remembered when he was a child.

The deathly stillness makes Tong Zhiyi suddenly rain.

Half a month has passed since Tong Zhiming and the old lady were buried.

For the past half month, Tong Zhiyi was lying alone in the house, feeling lonely and afraid.

In the past, there was an old lady by his side, although most of the time, the old lady ignored him, but Tong Zhiyi felt extremely at ease.

And now...

Tong Zhiyi looked at the old house, not knowing what he should do in the future.

"Fifth brother."

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as Tong Zhiyi raised his head, he saw Tong Zhide and Tong Zhixin.

"Second brother, fourth brother."

Tong Zhiyi shouted in a low voice.

The two came over, Tong Zhide grabbed his shoulder and said, "Fifth Brother, do you want to learn a craft?"

Tong Zhiyi stared at him blankly, then nodded almost invisible.

Tong Zhixin smiled, "Your second brother and I opened a grocery store, which sells some bamboo baskets, baskets, baskets and the like. You also follow our example, so you can help us when the time comes."
