Chapter 185 The Death of Huang Mantou
"Zhao Shuisheng, didn't you clear the snow on your roof? Didn't you see that everyone has cleared the snow on their roofs in a timely manner these days? It's all because of your laziness." Village chief Zhao was heartbroken.
Zhao Shuisheng was numb.
How could he know that the roof was so fragile that it couldn't bear the weight?
In fact, he was not lazy. He had been fighting with Huang Mantou these days, so he didn't do any housework. He did it on purpose. But he didn't expect that the house would collapse and crush Huang Mantou to death.
In fact, Zhao Shuisheng felt a little relieved in his heart. When Xue hit Huang Mantou before, he didn't expect that she would die.
Although he hated her for cheating on him, he also felt that she was not yet ready to die. Zhao Shuisheng was conflicted and now he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Village chief, it's no use saying anything now. The people are gone. What are we going to do in this heavy snow?" A villager said with reluctance.
After all, it's a life.
"Alas, what else can we do? Zhao Shuisheng, it's time for you to make the decision." Village chief Zhao shook his head and sighed. It was really fate that played tricks on him.
The last time I was put into the pig cage, I thought it was luck that I was not dead. They say that those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. But it has only been a short time and I was directly crushed to death by the roof. Who could have thought!
It is said that if the King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you will definitely not survive past five o'clock. It seems that this is true, it will come eventually!
Only then did Zhao Shuisheng wipe away his tears.
"Village chief, let's just take care of the funeral. You know my family's situation, so I can only trouble everyone to help me. Let's keep things simple." After saying this, Zhao Shuisheng walked towards Huang Mantou.
"It's all your fault. You watched someone die without rescuing him. Why didn't you save mom? Just because mom said I wasn't your son, you didn't even save mom. You're a bad father, a bad father. I don't have a mother anymore. From now on, I will be a motherless child. Woo woo woo~~~" The yellow mantou's son accused Zhao Shuisheng and beat him, trying to avenge his mother, but he was small and weak, so it was just like tickling.
But when these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
How is this going?
Did Zhao Shuisheng deliberately not save his wife Huang Mantou?
Is this what the child meant?
The villagers looked at each other curiously and whispered.
Zhao Shuisheng looked pale and his hands and feet were shaking.
"You're talking nonsense. How could I not save your mother on purpose? I did it to rescue you first. I just said a few words, but who knew the roof would fall down, and I wouldn't have had time to run over to save people." What Zhao Shuisheng said was true. If he had run over at that time, the roof would have fallen on him, and he might have been the one to die. He might not have died, but he would have suffered if he was alive. Given the way Huang Mantou treated him, he might as well have died.
The current situation is very good, he doesn't have to die.
"Zhao Shuisheng, are you telling the truth? You really didn't fail to save him on purpose?" asked Village Chief Zhao, frowning.
'
Really, village chief, I can swear to heaven.' Zhao Shuisheng wanted to swear after he finished speaking, but was stopped by the village chief.
"I believe you are not that kind of person. Although Huang Mantou had many flaws in her life, the dead are the most important. Let's all help with her funeral." Village Chief Zhao nodded helplessly.
But the child refused to leave Huang Mantou.
An old man in the village knew how to deal with this matter. Since everything needed to be kept simple, after asking Zhao Shuisheng, they were too lazy to hire a Feng Shui master and simply asked the villagers to build a simple mourning hall, then keep the body for three days before carrying it up the mountain and burying it.
The coffin board was the cheapest one Zhao Shuisheng bought because his family had no money.
Being so poor, there is nothing I can do.
Only after Huang Mantou was finally buried did Zhao Shuisheng begin to clean up the house.
The weather is sunny today. After snowing for so long, the sky is finally clearing up.
But even if the weather is fine, my hands will still freeze if I go out.
Guxian Village seemed to have not thawed yet and had not yet returned to its lively scene. There were few people on the village roads. Although the weather was good, the wind was also strong. The adults held the children back from going out. It might also be because Huang Mantou had just passed away, and the villagers did not want the children to go out and encounter any danger.
It's no joke if you catch a cold.
Zhao Laoer’s house is at the end of the village.
Although it was snowing, the village committee's workshop was a newly built brick and tile house and was very sturdy.
Even though it was snowing, everyone was still working. It was just that since they had left over mountain products from before, no fresh mountain products had been received in days, so there wasn't much work to do in the workshop.
Zhao Guocheng saw it and was worried.
But no one dared to take the risk to go up the mountain at that time. The mountain would be automatically closed after the heavy snow. The accumulated snow on the mountain was enough to bury people. Who would go up the mountain without risking their lives?
"Fellow villagers, please try your best to finish all the work today. We will have a holiday starting tomorrow. As you can see, the weather is not very good and we cannot receive any goods. Without raw materials, there is naturally no need to make any products. We will start work after the weather is better and we can receive the goods. I will inform you then." As soon as Zhao Guocheng said this, everyone knew that fortunately there was not much work to do today, so everyone just had to hurry up and finish it.
Zhao Guocheng hasn't sent anything to Fumanlou these past few days, so Manager Wang must be getting anxious.
With such nice weather today, Zhao Guocheng must deliver the things.
They got two ox carts, loaded the goods on them, and put two people in each cart, and they set off one after the other.
Zhao Shiying originally wanted to go to the county to play, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up today and go to the county next time.
She hasn't heard from Brother Azhi for a long time, and she misses him a little.
I don’t know how he has been doing recently?
However, Azhi is now in dire straits.
Qian Yuanwai knew about the relationship between Azhi and Zhao Shiying's family, and he only now found out that the wine that was all the rage in the county actually came from the family of the little girl who had failed to borrow her birthday gift.
When Mr. Qian heard the news, he became suspicious.
Didn't they say that little girl was doomed to fail? Why is her family doing so well now?
If he hadn't sent someone to An Azhi to report back today, he would still be kept in the dark.
I didn't expect that this rebellious son actually lived in harmony with the other family for a period of time. This is really infuriating.
I caused him to be struck by lightning before, how can I just let it go like this?
Although Zhao Guoguang was responsible for all the obvious debts, Mr. Qian still felt unbalanced.
He suspected that Wang Ronghua had deliberately lied about his daughter's horoscope in order to save her.
There was already some ambiguity in these eight characters, and now Mr. Qian became even more suspicious.
Started investigating the Taoist priest again.
After all this busy work, I only found out the whole story today.
"Okay, very good. I didn't expect that a small farming family would dare to go against me. From today on, don't let the young master go out, and don't let him send anything or news out. If I find out, I will hold you accountable." Mr. Qian's actions directly defeated Azhi.
