Chapter 57 Clear [three more]
The old lady left suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard.
Before dawn, Su Yan and his family were busy: Su Yan helped her mother to clean up the old lady’s body; Su Jianan was responsible for contacting the funeral home and clearing the hospital bills; Bai Xingfan took Su Zhan out of the hospital, Find funeral stores all over the street.
After Su Yan and her mother put on shrouds and caps for the old lady’s body, Su Jianan settled the hospital’s bills, and contacted the funeral home’s vehicle, Su Jianye and Chen Baihui arrived late.
Su Qian still didn’t show up, but Su Yan and his family didn’t bother to ask questions. Anyway, the answer was nothing more than: “We Qianqian are civil servants and have to go to work!”
It’s better not to ask than to hear it.
Su Jianan was even more disappointed with his younger brother and sister-in-law, and didn’t even bother to care about why they came so late.
However, although Su Jianye and Chen Baihui came late, they were more energetic. Under the shocked gazes of Su Yan and Su Zhan, they both wailed and rushed towards the hospital bed where the corpse was placed, and both knelt on the hospital bed. At the side, he began to cry out loudly: “My Dimian, my Dimian, just leave as you say!”
The whole corridor was filled with their howls, as if they were afraid that others would not know that their family was dead. .
Su Yan and Su Zhan looked at each other tacitly, their expressions were filled with the word “speechless”.
Su Jianan and Liu Xiang also knew that they were acting, so they neither persuaded nor helped them, and watched them act indifferently.
Su Jianye and Chen Baihui wailed for a while, but found that no one was stopping them, so they didn’t waste their energy. They gradually stopped howling, and slowly stood up from the ground, not forgetting to raise their hands to wipe their faces that didn’t exist at all. tears.
Su Jianye sighed deeply and looked at Su Jianan and Liu Xiang sadly: “Brother and sister-in-law, our mother left too suddenly.”
Chen Baihui shook her head and sighed: “Yes, I can’t accept it for a while.”
Su Jian’an and Liu Xiang didn’t want to talk to them at all.
Su Yan couldn’t take this breath, and couldn’t help but say: “If uncle and aunt don’t leave last night, maybe they will see grandma for the last time.”
Chen Baihui heard her voice, and immediately defended herself: “We don’t want to leave, but Qianqian is at home alone, so we don’t worry about it.” She pretended to say again, “Hey, you know, Qianqian. Qian has poor self-care ability and has never been as good as you. If we don’t go home, she will be scared to sleep.”
Su Jianye agreed: “Yes, Qianqian is timid and cannot do without us.”
Su Yan was so angry that she had nothing to do with them, but at this moment, Bai Xingfan suddenly spoke up: “Of course this junior can understand you, as well as the regrets of aunts and uncles, so tonight’s guard duty will be handed in. I gave it to you, just so that you can do your last filial piety and make up for this regret.”
Su Jianye and Chen Baihui were stunned for a moment at the same time: “Do you still need to keep the spirit?”
Su Yan resisted and didn’t roll her eyes: “Otherwise? This is a rule, you must keep the spirit, unless you don’t have a grandmother in your heart.”
Bai Xingfan followed her words and said, “Since uncle and aunt miss grandma so much, they shouldn’t refuse, right?”
Chen Baihui and Su Jianye understood that they were caught in the trap of this young couple, and they were so angry that their teeth were itching, but they couldn’t refuse.
Chen Baihui: “We also want to guard the old lady, but I’m not worried that Qianqian is at home.” Her tone was full of embarrassment.
Su Jianye agreed: “That’s right, we Qianqian are timid.”
Bai Xingfan calmly said, “Then let her come too and watch with you. I don’t think she will refuse.”
Su Yan raised her eyelids, glanced at the man standing beside her, and suddenly understood a truth: the wicked have their own grind.
Their whole family is just too kind, that’s why they can’t fight their uncles and aunts all the time.
Only a bad guy like Bai Xingfan who can bring his sense of immorality to the extreme can subdue them.
Chen Baihui hurriedly waved his hand: “That can’t be done, we Qianqian are civil servants and we have to go to work tomorrow, so we can’t stay up late, let alone take time off work!
Bai Xingfan was unmoved: “Then she can only be left at home by herself.”
Su Zhan couldn’t help but complained: “People in their twenties don’t dare to spend the night at home by themselves? Who will believe it?”
Chen Baihui became angry and raised her brows: “What do you mean? Forcing us to guard the spirit? What about your family? The old lady didn’t care about her during her lifetime, or even in death?”
Just as Su Yan was about to open her mouth to refute, Bai Xingfan suddenly grabbed her wrist and motioned her to stay calm. Su Yan had to temporarily shut up.
“Of course we won’t ignore the old lady, but in everything we must pay attention to one person performing their duties.” Bai Xingfan did not change his face, calmly, “You can choose one if you contribute or pay.” He added, “The old lady’s medical expenses are about 20,000 yuan. We have already paid it. If you don’t want to choose to contribute, we can exchange it with you and return the money to us.”
Money is the life of Su Jianye and his wife. Taking money out of his pocket is more painful than cutting a kidney, let alone 20,000.
Chen Baihui looked unconvinced: “How could it be so tall? Isn’t it just for one night?”
In fact, Bai Xingfan didn’t know how much money, because he didn’t settle the bill, he just said it casually to scare them.
In fact, the real cost was less than 5,000, but Su Jianan especially protected his son-in-law, and said without changing his face, “Why is it impossible? There is still money for rescue!”
Su Yan finally found an opportunity to interject: “Yes!” Although she only said two words, it was enough for her to raise her eyebrows.
Chen Baihui was silent.
Su Jianye was also speechless.
At this time, Bai Xingfan opened his mouth again and made a final decision: “Since my uncle and aunt have no opinion, the matter of keeping the spirit will be decided.” He sighed softly again, and said in a deep voice, “Grandma favored you during her lifetime. Come watch for grandma, and her spirit in heaven will surely find comfort.”
Another perfect satire.
Su Yan suddenly wanted to laugh.
Not only can she not control her sadness, she can’t control her excitement, but she also knows that it is not appropriate to laugh now. After all, the old man’s body is still lying in the room, so she immediately turned her face away. Go, only to find that silly Baitian’s face turned red from smirking.
After the hearse came, the old lady’s body was transported to the funeral home.
There were only two family members on the hearse. Su Jianye and Chen Baihui took the lead to give this precious opportunity to **** the mother’s body… to the elder brother and elder sister-in-law.
Su Yan’an and Liu Xiang got into the hearse, and Su Jianye and Chen Baihui drove their own car to the funeral home, so as to ensure that they would not be exposed to bad luck.
Bai Xingfan drove Su Yan and Su Zhan with him.
On the way to the funeral home, Su Zhan clasped the driver’s seat and the co-pilot’s seat with both hands, put his head in front of him, and looked at Bai Xingfan with admiration: “Brother-in-law, you are so handsome today! Uncles and aunts will be killed by you. Angry! You are so handsome! You are my idol!”
Bai Xingfan: “…”
Is this an idol?
He smiled helplessly and replied, “Sit down.”
“Oh.” Su Zhan immediately sat back on the chair honestly, but his mouth was not idle: “Fortunately, there is you, otherwise the two of them would definitely not keep the spirit.”
Su Yan whispered: “So, magic can only be defeated by magic.”
Bai Xingfan turned his face and glanced at her, a little puzzled in his expression.
Su Zhan was also confused: “What do you mean?”
Su Yan: “It doesn’t make any sense.”
After arriving at the funeral home, the family got busy again. They first went to the funeral supermarket to buy a series of things such as wreaths, tablets, tributes, white cloth, etc., and then began to decorate the mourning hall.
After everything was set up properly, the obituary was issued, and the family and friends in the hometown were notified by phone.
From the daytime to the afternoon, people came to offer condolences one after another, most of them were work partners and old friends of Su Jianan and Liu Xiang.
After night fell, the mourning hall was silent. Seeing that no one had come for a long time, Liu Xiang walked up to Bai Xingfan and Su Yan, and whispered to them both: “You two go home, rest early, you won’t be here tomorrow, As long as you and I are here, Xiao Zhan is also here.”
It was said that Su Jianye and Chen Baihui were to keep the spirits, but Su Jianan and Liu Xiang would definitely not only spend money and do nothing, as sons and daughters-in-law, they still had to do their due filial piety, and they still had to guard their spirits.
Su Yan hesitated, but Bai Xingfan did not hesitate: “Okay.” He got up from the stool and looked down at Su Yan, “Let’s go, go home, you need a good rest.”
His tone was gentle, but revealed no doubt.
Su Yan had no choice but to stand up from the stool and follow him.
Su Jianye and Chen Baihui were sitting on the bench opposite, seeing Su Yan and Bai Xingfan walking towards the outside of the mourning hall together, Chen Baihui shouted, “Where are you two going?”
Liu Xiang immediately answered for them: “I let them go home.”
Chen Baihui was unhappy: “Why let them go home? Shouldn’t the young guard the old man?”
Bai Xingfan replied indifferently: “When will Su Qian come, you can say such things again.”
Chen Baihui: “Hey, what are you talking about? We Qianqian didn’t come because we Qianqian are civil servants and we can’t ask for leave casually, otherwise I would definitely let her come, but Yan Yan is different, she stays at home every day and has nothing to do. , why don’t you give grandma a wake-up call?”
Faced with this kind of professional discrimination and ridicule, Su Yan has become accustomed to it, and has even been too lazy to refute her.
Bai Xingfan’s face sank, and she stared at Chen Baihui coldly: “She is a screenwriter, she makes a living by her talents, and is no less humble than a civil servant.”
He no longer pretended to be gentle, and no longer restrained the suffocating sense of oppression in his bones.
Bai Xingfan did not stop there, his expression became more and more gloomy, and he warned Chen Baihui word by word: “People of the Bai family, it is not your turn to point fingers.”
Su Yan was stunned, raised her eyes to look at him, and felt bitter in her heart.
He is really good to her and really loves her, but his love is so paranoid, it can even be said to be crazy.
She can’t accept this crazy love.
If only he wasn’t so paranoid.
Or, if their baby didn’t have a miscarriage…would it be different?
However, there is no “if” in this world.
Nothing will change.
She has lost her child and can no longer lose herself.
So, she had to leave him.
On the way home, she said to Bai Xingfan again, “Thank you.”
This “thank you” is not so much to thank him for defending her in front of his aunt, but to draw a line from him—
She was telling him that she was not from the Bai family.
Bai Xingfan understood what she meant and reiterated: “I said, we…”
Su Yan knew what he wanted to say, but interrupted him helplessly and decisively: “We are going to divorce soon.”
Bai Xingfan fell into silence, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and the muscles and bones on the back of his white hands burst out.
The light and shadow of the neon lights flashed intermittently, and the light inside the car flickered.
After a long time, he opened his mouth again, the end of his eyes was slightly red, trying his best to suppress the choking in his voice: “I really, really love you.”
Su Yan’s eyes were sore, and the night before her eyes gradually blurred: “I don’t need you to love me, I just need you to let me go, and let go of yourself.”
