The miserable heroine of the sad novel of the period was penetrated

Chapter 261 Grandma's Funeral

When Xia Songlan and Ning Jingmo arrived at the hospital exhausted, Xia Sumu was sitting alone at the door of the ward.

His face was pale, his expression was miserable, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying. Especially when he saw Xia Songlan, he could not hold back his tears.

With a choked voice, he said, "I will never have a mother again."

This was the first time Xia Songlan saw Xia Sumu so helpless and sad.

Although her grandmother had always left a bad impression on her, perhaps blood is thicker than water, and she was shocked the moment she heard that her grandmother had passed away.

Xia Songlan couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhou Sangning came out of the ward with red eyes, and said to Xia Songlan, "Go in and take a last look at your grandma."

The ward was packed with people.

Ye Mei's voice was particularly abrupt. She was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound. The word "Mom" came out of her mouth again and again.

It seemed as if the person who had been bossing grandma around before was not her.

My eldest uncle, second uncle, and second aunt stood by, looking sad and with tears on their faces.

Xia Jianguo's family of three, Xia Jianshe, and even Xia Juanjuan were there.

Xia Juanjuan hadn't seen Xia Songlan for two and a half years. When she first saw Xia Songlan, she was so shocked by her increasingly dazzling appearance that her eyes widened.

Thinking that she was pregnant, she seemed to gain confidence and arched her belly, which was not very obvious, forward.

Unfortunately, Xia Songlan's attention was not on her at all. Her eyes just swept across and fell on her grandmother on the hospital bed.

The grandmother on the hospital bed looked exactly the same as she did when Xia Songlan went to visit her after returning from Country M, skinny and bony.

He was full of energy at that moment, but now he has closed his eyes peacefully.

Xia Songlan was extremely grateful that she had listened to her father and visited her grandparents before going to Ning Jingmo to visit relatives. It was considered the last time she saw her grandmother.

Ning Jingmo followed Xia Songlan all the time, afraid that she would be too sad, and kept an eye on her all the time.

That same day, the Xia family took grandma's body back from the hospital and set up a mourning hall in grandpa's yard.

Xia Songlan and Ning Jingmo also went to visit grandpa together.

Grandpa didn't seem sad at all, but Xia Songlan found that when no one was around, Grandpa would look at Grandma's photo, sigh, and secretly wipe away tears.

She leaned her head on Ning Jingmo's shoulder sadly, "They say young couples grow old together, but you see, the saddest one should be grandpa.

I will also walk ahead of you in the future. I don’t want to be left alone and sad.”

Ning Jingmo held Xia Songlan's hand and coaxed her softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Although my grandfather was over 80 years old, he was still mentally clear and handled the entire funeral personally.

Xia Sumu and his two brothers had no objections and carried out their grandfather's ideas one by one.

By the time his grandmother was buried, Xia Sumu seemed to have aged several years.

Xia Songlan and Xia Chuanbai were worried about Xia Sumu, so they followed him from beginning to end.

After the funeral, the issue of grandpa’s support was also put on the agenda.

Ye Mei suggested, "We have been living with Dad before and we know his living habits, so why don't I move back with Su Sen to take care of him.

If you feel bad about it, you can give me some money every month, 100 yuan will be enough.

It can’t be any less. Prices are rising fast now, and 100 yuan is not enough to spend.”

Ye Mei almost had the word "精" written on her forehead, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

Second uncle Xia Sulin directly raised his objection, "Sister-in-law, don't even think about it. My monthly salary is only more than 70 yuan, and I can't come up with 100 yuan.

It would be better to let Dad live in each family in turn, one month at a time, and then each family would take the initiative to pick him up at the end of the month.

The daily expenses are borne by each family, and if someone is sick, the three brothers share the expenses."

Zhou Sangning had no objection to this. Seeing that Xia Sumu always had a miserable look on his face, he didn't pay any attention to this at all.

He took over the conversation and said, "I think what Second Brother said is right, so let's do as Second Brother says."

Ye Mei stared with red eyes, "How come the second brother is right? Is what I said wrong?

You don't have to do anything, do you think it's easy to take care of the elderly? Don't you just get 100 yuan a month?"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Sangning and said, "The second brother's family can't come up with 100, but you two have high salaries.

You should take more. Don’t you have a good relationship with the second brother’s family? Take it out for him.”

Zhou Sangning looked at Ye Mei coldly, "Do I have the word idiot written on my forehead? I give you 200 a month, you might as well hire a nanny, it won't cost more than a few dozen dollars.

This way, Dad can be taken care of well, and everyone won’t have to worry too much.”

Grandpa nodded and said, "The third family's suggestion is good. Why not just hire a nanny, someone who is neat and young.

I think the nanny at Lao Feng's house at the entrance of the alley is pretty good. She takes good care of Lao Feng and even takes him out for a walk every day."

Seeing that grandpa was willing to hire a nanny, everyone agreed and discussed where to find a suitable nanny.

Ye Mei said angrily, "It was the third brother's family who suggested hiring a nanny. They have money, so let them pay for the nanny.

Anyway, our family has no money, so I can take care of it, but I won’t pay a cent.”

Xia Susen coughed twice, reminding Ye Mei not to speak.

Ye Mei glared at him fiercely, "What's the matter? You can't even speak. I was wrong. Where is the money?

I finally saved some money, didn't I want to find a wife for Jianshe? But now I'm 30 and I don't even have a partner.

You are not anxious, but I, as a mother, am anxious. "

Her continuous scolding made Xia Susen so angry that he turned around and walked out. He squatted at the door, smoking one cigarette after another and stopped talking.

Xia Jianshe was originally playing with his little nephew. When he saw that Ye Mei's topic was about him, he was afraid that Ye Mei would urge him to get married again.

He was almost driven crazy by the pressure to get married during this period, so he bent over and slipped out.

Ye Mei happened to look back and saw Xia Jianshe slipping out. She shouted at the top of her voice: "Xia Jianshe, come back here. Where are you going?"

It would have been better if she hadn't shouted, because after she shouted, Xia Jianshe slipped away.

Ye Mei was so angry that she started cursing her mother.

She even cried and wailed and was unwilling to pay for the nanny.

Xia Songlan listened to the noise in the house, and her head felt like it was buzzing with an electric drill.

She said something to Zhou Sangning, stood up and walked out.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ning Jingmo had come out of the room long ago and stood under the pomegranate tree, his eyes looking towards the door.

Seeing Xia Songlan coming out to greet her, he went up to her and asked, "What's wrong, Songlan? Do you have a headache? Why are you frowning so tightly?"

"Oh~~" Xia Songlan sighed.

Ning Jingmo pulled her with concern, walked to a bench in the middle of the yard, and helped her sit down.

I squatted down to look her in the eye, "Don't be sad, the dead are gone, we should be nicer to the living.

If you are worried about embarrassing your parents, I can give you your grandfather's nanny."
