After listening to Hu Jing's words, Hu's father looked solemn.
"This is in the bottom of my heart. Don't tell anyone. You should go back to watch the old lady's death. In the afternoon, I explained that I was not feeling well for the past two days. You came back early yesterday morning and caught a cold on the way. Now you are sick. You will go there for a while and pretend to be a little bit. No matter what they ask, you try to keep silent and answer as many times as possible, understand?"
"But Dad, I, I'm afraid that I don't want to go to watch the spirit." When Hu Jing said the word "shouling", her voice was a little trembling. She was uneasy. In addition to being afraid that things would get out and the police would arrest her, she was also afraid of Mrs. Dou's death. She had been dreaming last night, dreaming that Mrs. Dou came to her covered in blood
She shook her head violently, "Dad, I don't want to go"
"You have to go." Father Hu's mind is still clear, "You are the granddaughter-in-law of the Dou family. The old lady is dead, but you can't avoid showing up. People will say what you say when they see it, what will our Dou family think of you
Hu's father said to Hu's mother again: "Go get her something to eat, and I will send her to Dou's house later."
He Jifan stayed up all night last night, and Dou Weier asked him to rest at night, but he didn't refuse, but he didn't sleep for too long, and it wasn't eleven o'clock when he woke up.
When I went out to the mourning hall, Father Hu brought Hu Jing over and was talking to Father Dou and Mother Dou in the mourning hall.
He Jifan went in and saw Hu Jing who was standing aside with her head bowed, a dark look flashed across her eyes.
"Xiaojing has a fever from last night to now, and she just got better. I wanted to wait until tomorrow to send her here, but she insisted on coming here now, saying that the old lady usually treats her well, and she felt guilty for not coming earlier. You said that this child is always so stubborn." Hu's father's words sounded like reproach, but he felt distressed, and he was also saying good things for Hu Jing.
Mother Dou has prejudices against Father Hu because Father Hu disturbed Father Dou's work, but she is good to the daughter-in-law that her family spent a lot of money to marry back. After hearing Father Hu's words, she hurriedly said: "It's not too late. Miaomiao is sleeping in the house. You go to sleep with Miaomiao. You are not in good health. It is still quite cold at night. Don't freeze anymore. Let Jin Wen and his father stay here. We will go to sleep soon."
When she said us, she meant her and Dou Weier.
Sitting on the chair, Dou Weier looked at the photo of grandma's death, and didn't care about the conversation of the people next to her. She suddenly seemed to feel something. She turned her head to look at the door, and found that He Jifan was coming, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"
Only then did Father Hu realize that someone was coming in behind him, and when he turned around and saw He Jifan, his eyes changed. When he came over in the afternoon, he learned that Dou Weier had brought a boyfriend back, and it was said that he was the boss of a big company.
"Wake up." He Jifan replied Dou Wei'er's words, glanced at Hu's father and Hu Jing, and quickly retracted.
Dou Weier didn't say anything more, He Jifan walked up to her and stood still.
Hu's father said to Dou's mother: "It's getting late, then I'll go back first." He patted Hu Jing on the shoulder, turned and left.
Standing there, Hu Jing felt chills all over her body, grabbed the hem of her clothes nervously, and her expression was not normal.
Dou's mother only thought that she was still sick and urged her to go back to her room to sleep. Hu Jing nodded and walked out of the mourning hall quickly without saying a word.
"Wei'er go to sleep too, just let Jin Wen and his dad stay here." Dou's mother said politely to He Jifan again: "Jifan also go back to sleep, the house is simple, I don't know if you are used to it or not"
He Jifan nodded gracefully, "It's okay."
Mother Dou burst into laughter, "If you get used to living here, you can come back often when you have free time. Auntie welcomes you anytime."
He Jifan's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes showed alienation.
He can see through Mother Dou's thoughts at a glance.
Dou Weier suddenly said: "Auntie, go to sleep, I am here with grandma, grandma also likes to be quiet, it is so late, grandma is going to bed too."
What she said was clearly saying that Mother Dou was too noisy, Mother Dou heard it, and didn't care about it with Dou Weier, she whispered around He Jifan for a while, and then went back to sleep contentedly.
"Go back and rest." Dou Weier glanced at He Jifan who was sitting next to her, and thought of how he took care of her last night, she couldn't help but said.
"I've rested and it's going to be good spirits."
Dou Weier saw the persistence in his eyes and said nothing.
Father Dou fell asleep wrapped in a quilt rented from the funeral band, snoring loudly. Dou Jinwen didn't know when he left the mourning hall, and he came back after a long time.
This night was very long and seemed very short. Dou Weier woke up and found that she had fallen asleep leaning against He Jifan's arms. She was wrapped in a blanket and her neck and waist were a little stiff. She slowed down and then slowly straightened her body.
"Thank you." Dou Weier's eyes were still red.
He Jifan kept his arms around her and didn't move. Half of his body was numb from Dou Weier's pressure. After she fell asleep, he was reluctant to move for fear of waking her up.
"You don't have to be so alien to me." He smiled calmly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Dou Weier shook her head, "I'm fine." Sensing that He Jifan's posture was a bit strange, she looked at him, "What's wrong with you?"
He Jifan smiled, "It's okay, but my arm is a little numb, and it's much better now." To prove his words, he raised his arm.
"I was the one who suppressed the numbness, why didn't you wake me up?" Dou Weier's eyes fell on He Jifan's arm, her eyes were very different from the way she used to look at He Jifan.
"It's rare that you fell asleep." How could he bear to wake her up.
Dou Weier understood what he said, and looked away uncomfortably, "Go wash up and eat."
Hu Jing felt guilty, she didn't sleep much all night, her face was haggard and ugly, Dou Weier saw her face was a bit strange, but she didn't have the heart to care about it.
Mother Dou is washing Miaomiao's face. Miaomiao is not yet one year old, and her eyes are pure and ignorant. When she sees Dou Weier, her little eyes light up, and she reaches out her hand to hug her with a smile.
Dou Weier's depressed mood eased a little when she met his eyes.
Hu Jing didn't like her son's liking for Dou Weier so much in the past, even her serious mother couldn't compare to her, today she was not in the mood to care about these things, and hid in her room after breakfast.
Last night, Dou Jinwen went back to her room and asked her whether Mrs. Dou's sudden death had something to do with her, and she naturally denied it in every possible way.
Dou Jinwen didn't say much, and left with a dark face. Hu Jing was a little unsure what he meant, but she was not afraid of him saying it. Since he guessed that the old man's death might be because of what she said, he must also know that what she said was related to him and He Yiyi.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Dou's death was caused by Dou Jinwen. If he hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have gone to the old man's house to say what was wrong.
What Hu Jing was worried about was whether the nurse would say anything to Dou Weier. If Dou Weier knew that she had been to the ward before the old man became ill, there was no guarantee that Dou Weier would not suspect her. Hu Jing wanted to call the nurse, only to find that there was no nurse's number.
She didn't really care about the old man's condition at the beginning, so how could she have the nurse's number.
The more Hu Jing thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she called Hu's father and told her about it.
Hu’s father had lived for decades, and he had a better understanding of the problem than Hu Jing. He said, “If you don’t admit that you went there before the old lady’s illness, who would know that you said something that irritated her? From now on, remember that you didn’t say anything bad to the old lady. You just went to say goodbye to the old man that morning because you were going home to visit your father who was not feeling well. The old man was fine when he left, understand?”
"Dad, I'm still scared"
"Don't be afraid, do as Dad said, and you will be fine. I have already burned the clothes you wore when you came back. There is no evidence that the old lady's death is related to you. Even if there are surveillance cameras in the hospital corridors, you can't go inside the ward. Don't worry."
"Is it really going to be okay?" Hu Jing was still uneasy.
"Father promises that nothing will happen to you." Father Hu said solemnly.
Hu Jing felt a little relieved, "I see." Her eyes were flushed, "Thank you Dad, I'm sorry Dad, I shouldn't have listened to you back then, and even quarreled with you because of Dou Jinwen, which broke your heart."
"Silly boy, it's all over. You will always be Dad's most beloved daughter."
Hu Jing burst into tears.
When Dou's mother sent Miaomiao in, she saw Hu Jing crying hard, thought she was crying for the old lady, comforted her a few words, saw her crying more and more fiercely, and finally let her go.
When she came out of the room, Dou's mother told everyone how sad and filial her daughter-in-law was crying, for fear that others would not know that she had a filial daughter-in-law.
Not only did He Jifan have to accompany Dou Weier, but he also had to help with the funeral arrangements, and greeted and sent him off as the grandson-in-law of the deceased. After the funeral, all relatives and friends knew him.
Dou Weier knelt in front of the old man's tombstone, letting the night fall around her.
At night in mid-April, it was slightly chilly, and a warm man's coat was put on her body. When she turned her head, she could only see the outline of He Jifan. There was no light around her, only the moon above her head sprinkled a few rays of light.
"Go back." In the silent darkness, He Jifan's voice seemed to knock on people's hearts.
Dou Weier covered He Jifan's hand on her right shoulder with her right hand, and asked without beginning and end: "Is what you said true?"
"What"
"You said that you will always be with me in the future and never leave me alone."
As soon as the words fell, Dou Weier felt the hand on her shoulder tightened, "It's true, as long as you want."
"Will you have as many girlfriends as before?"
"Won't."
"Where is Zhouzhou's mother?"
"There will be no relationship in the future."
How could there be no relationship, Zhouzhou is the bond between them, the blood of the two of them flows, they will never break the relationship, Dou Weier thinks so, but doesn't say so.
"Then, I'm willing to let you stay by my side." In the past few days, after watching He Jifan busy, she always wondered, when grandma passed away, would she still be worried that she would not be able to rely on her in the future
Are you still regretting not being able to watch your granddaughter walk into the marriage hall
He Jifan asked uncertainly: "Are you serious?"
Dou Weier said: "If you don't want to, forget it."
"No, no, I am willing." He Jifan hugged her tightly, "Thank you, Vivier, I am very honored to have the opportunity to be by your side."
Dou Wei'er smiled, "What you said seems a little pitiful, there are so many women waiting for your favor, and I'm afraid you won't be able to marry a wife."
"You are the only one I want to marry, and you will be the only one I want to marry in the future." After a pause, he said, "Trust me."
"Well, I believe you, just this time." Dou Weier buried her face in He Jifan's arms. He hadn't used perfume these days, and he still had a faint scent of men's perfume on his body, which smelled very good, and it was as intoxicating as ever.
He Jifan smelled her hair, "I will not disappoint your trust."
"But" Dou Weier said two words with a turning point.
He Jifan was a little nervous, afraid that she would regret it, "What's wrong?"
Even though she couldn't see his expression clearly, Dou Wei'er could feel his uneasiness, and she couldn't help laughing, "Don't be nervous, I just want to say, because of congratulating your mother, grandma doesn't agree with us being together, I'm going against her old man's wishes now, should you say something to my grandma?"
He Jifan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is what it should be."
He knelt down in front of Mrs. Dou, straightened his back, as solemnly as he swore an oath to the national flag when he joined the party at the age of eighteen, "Grandma, you can rest assured that Wei'er will be handed over to me. No matter what happens to my mother, I will not let her be wronged."
"anything else"
"From now on, all the small things in the family will be under Wei'er's control. We will discuss and decide on big things together, and all the money I earn will be handed over to her."
Dou Wei'er was amused by his serious look, and the haze that had shrouded her heart these days seemed to dissipate with the night wind.
She looked at the tombstone where only the outline could be seen, and she thought to herself, I will try my best to make myself happy, grandma, don't worry.
Even if time proves that He Jifan is not her lover, she will try her best to live the best life for herself.
Mrs. Dou's tomb was buried side by side with Mr. Dou in a cemetery in the north of the village. There were many graves around the place. The wind blew through here and made a humming sound, which looked very gloomy and gloomy in the dark night.
With his arms around Dou Weier, He Jifan walked back along the faintly visible path.
Freed from the grief of Mrs. Dou's death, Dou Wei'er realized that the surrounding scenery was a bit scary, and she couldn't help shrinking into He Jifan's arms.
When they got home, the funeral band and their relatives and friends had already left, and the temporary shed in the yard had been dismantled. Everything was the same as before. The main room was brightly lit. As soon as they entered the big iron gate, they heard the voice of Mother Dou's settlement.
"Get rid of all the expenses, and make a net profit of ten thousand." Dou's mother was excited. She turned her head and saw Dou Weier and He Jifan. She said, "Although all the expenses on the funeral were paid by Jifan, but Jifan is so rich, he probably wouldn't argue with us for this money, right?"
"Besides, you will definitely not be in your hometown in the future. If it is windy and rainy, if the monument of the old man is washed down, it will need money to repair it. We take this money for the old man, right?"
