Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 291 The Pretty Widow 9

Most rural women of this era are somewhat superstitious, and pay the most attention to the afterlife.

In their traditional concept, if a person is not buried in a dignified manner, he or she will not have peace even in the underworld.

It was only when Chu Yuan mentioned Liu Gangchuan's funeral that the two of them reacted.

"My second son's wife, you just said that Chuanzi... didn't even leave his body behind?"

Chu Yuan described the situation to the two elderly people, but even if she used more tactful words, it still had a certain impact on them.

She could only change the subject as quickly as possible so that they wouldn't have time to imagine the scene:

"I brought back some of Chuanzi's clothes when he was alive, because I wanted to build a tomb for him in the village, so that he can return to his roots."

Upon hearing the news that their son's body could not be saved, the two old people burst into tears again, but this time they were obviously more rational.

After all, Chu Yuan was right. This family would still have to rely on them to support it in the future. The two children were still young, and the daughter-in-law was from a different family. She would have to remarry sooner or later.

Liu Guoping stood up while holding onto the table: "Second daughter-in-law, the two children don't know about this, right?"

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll just tell the kids that their uncle is away on a business trip. I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can."

Liu Guoping breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped his old wife up: "Old woman, stop crying. Hurry up and wipe your tears. Don't let Xiang Song and Xiang Bai see it."

The old couple already have experience in the funeral process, and they are fully responsible for this matter. Chu Yuan only needs to follow the arrangements.

On the day of the funeral, Chu Yuan asked Liu Xiayu to take the two children to the county town, and gave her some money and asked them to stay outside until dark.

Letting children come into contact with matters of life and death too early is likely to cause trauma to their minds, so it is better to avoid exposure as much as possible.

Moreover, on the day of the funeral, almost all the villagers will come here to pay their respects, and she will not have enough energy to take care of the two children at that time.

With Xia Yu's skills, Chu Yuan felt at ease leaving the two children to her.

After the funeral, Chu Yuan coaxed the two children who had been playing all day to sleep, and went to the old couple’s room with a stack of money.

In the room, Chen Lianhua was wiping her tears, while Liu Guoping was sighing and smoking a pipe beside her.

Chu Yuan spoke up to break the silence: "Dad, Mom, I'm coming in?"

Liu Guoping responded: "Hey, second son's wife, you are here, come in, are the two children asleep?"

Chu Yuan put the money in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of the two elders: "These are the compensations that the steel plant gave to Chuanzi, a total of 2600 yuan, and 1000 yuan from selling my job. I'll give them all to you two for safekeeping."

Liu Guoping waved his hand and said, "Second son's wife, since you are married to Chuanzi, you should have a share of the pension. Besides, we two old people don't spend much money. You can take half of the money and leave the rest to the two children."

Chu Yuan did not refuse, and only took out a small part of it and stuffed it into her mother-in-law's hand: "Mom, take this money, buy some nutritional supplements to replenish your body on weekdays, just think of it as me, your daughter-in-law, honoring you on behalf of Chuanzi."

Then he turned to Liu Guoping and said, "Dad, smoking too much dry tobacco is bad for your health. Next time we go to the city, let mom give you some money to buy you a few boxes of cigarettes. They are not so choking."

After expressing his concern for the two elderly people, Chu Yuan talked about the distribution of the remaining money:

"Chuanzi has saved two or three hundred yuan from his salary over the years, which is enough for our daily expenses. Since you two elders don't want to accept the money, I will put it in the bank and save it for Xiang Song and Xiang Bai to marry in the future."

Seeing that the two had no objection to this, Chu Yuan prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

This time the main purpose was to pass the money in front of the old couple, so that they wouldn't think of the pension in the future and suspect that she had embezzled it.

The relationship between the two parties is not very deep. They only spent a few days together when the original owners just got married. So if they want to build trust, it is better to be honest.

After all, her job is to take care of two children. If the children's grandparents do not trust her and insist on taking the children to their side to take care of them personally, Chu Yuan will not be able to argue with them.

She was very tired after a busy day, so she stood up and was about to leave after she finished speaking.

Now it was Chen Lianhua and Liu Guoping's turn to look at each other. Could it be that she was just here to talk about money? They thought...

Liu Guoping put down the pipe in his hand and cleared his throat: "Second son's wife, don't leave yet. Your mother and I have something to discuss with you."

Chu Yuan sat back down again: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"It's about Xiang Song and Xiang Bai. We know that these two children are not your biological children, but after all, you have raised them for two years. Even for the sake of the two children, can you wait until they are older before remarrying?"

The old couple’s idea was very simple. Xiang Song and Xiang Bai were not her biological children, and she had no obligation to support the two brothers forever.

This time he brought the two children back to his hometown, probably because he wanted to leave them to be raised by them.

In fact, they were not wrong to think so. If Chu Yuan was not bound by the mission, he would probably really make this choice, leaving the two children to be raised by their biological grandparents and then living his own life.

But in the current situation, Chu Yuan obviously couldn't do that. She directly expressed her determination:

"Dad, Mom, since I'm married to Chuanzi, I'm naturally a member of the Liu family. Xiang Song and Xiang Bai are Chuanzi's and mine's nephews. There's no way I don't have two children.

I have no plans to remarry at the moment. Chuanzi treated me very well when he was alive, and I am not an ungrateful person, so you two can rest assured that I will take care of the two children."

Chen Lianhua and Liu Guoping looked at each other, obviously not expecting to hear this answer from Chu Yuan.

"Second son's wife, are you really willing to raise these two children?"

Chu Yuan nodded: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will treat Xiang Song and Xiang Bai as my own sons. The money left by Chuanzi is enough to guarantee our lives."

The two old people's eyes were filled with tears. Chen Lianhua stepped forward, took her hand and said, "Okay, second daughter-in-law, you are a good person. Your father and I really thank you."

With Chu Yuan's promise, the two old people felt half relieved.
