Chapter 193 Funeral
Chapter 193 Funeral
After discussion, Wei Shuqing and Wei Shuhai decided to hand over the funeral to a professional funeral home.
It’s not that they didn’t try their best, but the brother and sister were so grief-stricken that they couldn’t devote their full attention to this matter.
To make matters worse, when Wei's father left, Wei's mother also fell ill. Da Hu's daughter-in-law had an unstable fetus and had to stay in bed to protect the fetus.
For a time, the entire Wei family was exhausted.
"Da Hu, don't come here. Go home and take care of your wife."
Yang Liu held her son's hand and whispered a blessing to him.
Liu Yun has a big belly and the fetus is unstable. She is very fragile and needs someone to accompany her.
Da Hu, however, still remembered the love his grandfather had shown him over the years and insisted on seeing him off one last time: "We have a nanny at home, and I can help you here. Besides, I want to see grandpa off."
"Go back. A babysitter is no match for having your husband by your side, giving you peace of mind."
Wei Shuqing also stepped forward to persuade them, saying that their family was not old stubborn people with conservative ideas, and they knew the simple truth that the living are better than the dead.
"Funerals are just a way to deceive the living. When your grandfather was alive, you were a filial grandson. He enjoyed your blessings, so there's no need to waste time on these empty rituals."
Hearing this, Da Hu nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Take good care of Yunyun!"
Yang Liu felt sorry for her daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
Dahu nodded and went home.
Soon, Wei Shuqing's distant cousin Wei Gang noticed Da Hu was missing and immediately started making a fuss: "Shu Hai, where is your eldest son? Today is my eldest brother's big day, how can he, the eldest grandson of the eldest family, not be here? There is no manners at all!"
"Fifth Uncle, Da Hu's wife is not feeling well, so Da Hu is accompanying her to the hospital."
Yang Liu quickly stepped forward to explain for her son.
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Wei Gang almost jumped up. "He just wanted to accompany his wife to the hospital, but he didn't even come to see his grandfather off. How could our Wei family produce such an unfilial descendant!"
"Fifth Uncle, you can't say that."
Wei Shuqing was unhappy to see her nephew being attacked.
"The living are greater than the dead. Da Hu's wife is pregnant. If he doesn't go to take care of her, he can't help much here. We have handed over all the funeral arrangements to the funeral home."
Wei Shuqing's face had turned cold.
Today is Wei's father's funeral. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be punished.
But Wei Gang claimed to be the elder and was determined to teach Wei Shuqing a lesson.
He snorted coldly: "Wei Shuqing, just because you've made a few bucks, do you think you're superior and look down on us folks?"
"Fifth Uncle, just speak frankly."
Wei Shuqing's patience has reached its limit.
Wei Gang continued to recklessly accuse him, "Every wedding and funeral in our Wei family is always handled by me, Wei Gang. Everyone always says good things about me. But why do you guys just hand it over to that so-and-so shop? You guys have become successful and made some money, but you don't even know your own name or where you came from, right?"
Wei Shuhai and Wei Shuqing, brother and sister, run a big company and live in a big house. In the eyes of their fellow clansmen like Wei Gang, they are extremely rich.
When Wei Gang learned of his father's death, he had already thought about it. Since Wei Shuhai and Wei Shuqing were so rich, they would definitely hold a grand funeral. As the person who supported the funeral, he would also be able to make a fortune from it.
With this large sum of money, wouldn't it be enough for his son to marry a wife?
But man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that the brother and sister would not follow the rules at all and directly contracted the job to someone else.
Wei Gang was angry because he couldn't get the money, and he just found out that Dahu had left, so he took the opportunity to make a big fuss to let everyone know that the brother and sister were not following the rules.
How could Wei Shuqing not guess what Wei Gang was thinking? She was no longer the young girl who had just started out.
"Who said that all weddings and funerals have to be handled by you? Who made this rule?"
This question stumped Wei Gang, who could only defend himself: "Everyone in our Wei family does it this way."
"But I never like to follow the crowd." Wei Shuqing sneered, "Wei Gang, I call you Fifth Uncle because I'm giving you face. If you're deliberately causing trouble at my father's funeral today, get out!"
"Wei Shuqing, I am your elder!"
Wei Gang was humiliated in public and became angry and embarrassed.
"You've lived more than ten years longer than I have. It seems you haven't lived wisely all these years. You've just been living like a dog."
After saying that, Wei Shuqing stopped talking nonsense with him, took out her cell phone and called the security guard to carry Wei Gang out.
She spent the money, so there was no need to listen to Wei Gang's nonsense.
After seeing Wei Gang off, Wei Shuqing did not forget to comfort the remaining guests.
"It's just a little hiccup, please forgive me for the inconvenience. Thank you all for coming to see my father off today. No gifts will be accepted for my father's funeral, and a banquet has been arranged. My father passed away suddenly, and my brother and I are deeply saddened. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
She was dressed in black, pale and thin, and looked so fragile standing on the stage that she seemed like she would break at any moment.
This time, Wei Shuqing earned everyone's sympathy and goodwill.
Everyone was talking about it: "Wei Gang is such a scoundrel, causing trouble at our eldest brother's funeral!"
"Who says it's not true? He presided over weddings and funerals, and he made a lot of money from them. Usually, everyone turned a blind eye because of his help. But now this old guy can't make any money, so he got angry!"
"That's right, greedy!"
At this time, Yang Liu quickly helped Wei Shuqing off the stage: "Xiaoqing, thank you for helping our Dahu out."
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Dahu is also my nephew. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite."
Wei Shuqing patted Yang Liu's hand.
After years of companionship, they are not real sisters, but they are better than real sisters.
Wei's father's funeral was perfect except for a small incident.
Wei's mother insisted on being discharged from the hospital and watching Wei's father being buried. Wei Shuhai and Wei Shuqing couldn't persuade her and had to agree.
Supported by Erhu and his wife, the old lady stood not far away, watching Wei's father's urn being buried bit by bit. Tears fell drop by drop, wetting her lapel.
"Erhu, Linlin, your grandfather and I have been together for more than sixty years. I was married to your grandfather when I was sixteen."
She had a tragic life. Her father died and her mother remarried. She lived with distant relatives and was treated harshly.
It was not until she married Wei's father that Wei's mother could live a good life.
She has real feelings for Wei's father.
Now that Wei's father is gone, Wei's mother feels like a piece of her heart is missing, and the pain makes her feel cold all over.
She didn't understand what love was, she only knew that she couldn't live without Wei's father, just as Wei's father couldn't live without her.
