Chapter 199 Farewell to the Li Family
Hearing the voice, Li Fugui raised his head.
He looked at Li Xiaoyu expressionlessly, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his face was ashen, and there was no life at all.
He turned his head to look at the coffin in front of him, and his usually clear voice became hoarse.
"Xiao Yu, after a person dies, does their soul really stay in the world for seven days?"
Li Xiaoyu didn't know the answer to this question.
She knew that Li Fugui didn't expect her to be able to answer it. He was just feeling upset and had no friends in the village to talk to.
Other villagers came in to pay their respects.
Li Xiaoyu squatted beside him and looked at the black coffin with him.
Grandma Wang is a good person.
She had no fear in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she replied softly, "I don't know. I think as long as they exist in our memories, we will feel that they are by our side wherever we go."
It’s not scary when people leave.
The scary thing is that those who are still alive will gradually forget their past memories.
Listening to her calm voice, Li Fugui lowered his head and continued to burn paper, his voice tinged with sadness: "As long as I don't forget grandma, she will live in my heart."
It's obviously hard to see wealth and glory, but you still have to pretend to be strong.
Li Xiaoyu thought about her own similar state when her grandparents passed away.
It’s also because my grandparents passed away.
Overnight, she seemed to have grown up and suddenly understood.
A lifetime is neither long nor short.
There is no need to worry or care too much about others, just live according to your own ideas.
To put it bluntly, she has an avoidant personality.
If things are beyond her control, her choice is to stay away.
Rather than facing challenges head-on.
Always think that as long as you stay away from trouble, there will be no trouble.
This is true for marriage and relationships.
The main focus is to live an easy life.
On the day Grandma Wang was buried, she and Li Fugui stayed in front of the grave for a long time, listening to him talk about the past.
As he was talking, this guy, who hadn't rested for several days, fainted.
She carried him home.
Li Fugui slept for three days and then he regained his spirits. The two of them began to work on their journey to the north.
By early April, everything was ready.
Li Xiaoyu told the Li family about this. After listening to her story, the Li family was furious.
"What? You want to go to the neighboring country?" Li Wu jumped up from the stool.
Li Huahua looked at Li Xiaoyu worriedly, "Third sister, I heard from others that the people in the northwest of Anping are very barbaric. You can't go there."
Li Guangchang ran straight to close the gate, and Li Mei followed behind him and went to close it too.
Wang Guihua grabbed Li Xiaoyu's arm, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Xiao Yu, you are unfamiliar with the place. If something unexpected happens there, what do you want us to do..."
Li Xiaoyan didn't know why her sister wanted to go to the north.
Wang Guihua grabbed her right arm, so she grabbed her left arm. When Wang Qian saw her grabbing, he also grabbed her arm.
"Xiao Yu, when I was selling handkerchiefs, I heard from the shopkeeper that there were often bandits over there. It's really dangerous for a woman like you."
Look at them closing the door and surrounding themselves.
Li Xiaoyu simply sat down on the bench with his arms folded.
Just like coaxing a child, coaxing them: "I have already got the travel permit, I have paid for it, there is no way I won't go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wu put his pipe on the table.
He shouted to Li Guangchang, "Boss, quickly use a bench to hold the door shut. Don't let her go."
Then he began to persuade Li Xiaoyu: "You really can't go to that place. Your grandfather used to do business abroad. I heard him say that the North is close to the border, and people from several neighboring countries will do business there. That place is really chaotic."
How could Li Xiaoyu not know what they said?
She opened her mouth slightly and sighed helplessly: "I know everything you said. I have hired some powerful thugs, so you can rest assured."
"If something really happens, it only proves that I am not strong enough."
When facing the unknown, there is always danger.
She had already been prepared.
Seeing their worried expressions, she said calmly and rationally, "I just want to go out for a walk. If I don't go while I'm young, I won't have the chance when I get older. Why are you trying to stop me?"
Wang Guihua refused to let go no matter what she said, "We are worried about you, please don't go, okay?"
Listen to her crying voice.
Li Xiaoyu tilted his head to look at Li Xiaoyan, then looked at his arm, raised his eyebrows, and signaled her to let go of him.
Although Li Xiaoyan was very reluctant, her sister was a very opinionated person.
They couldn't stop her from making her decision.
Her face was full of confusion, and after a long time, she reluctantly let go of his arms.
Then, Wang Qian also let go.
After she let go, Li Xiaoyu raised his hand and wiped away the tears from Wang Guihua's face with the back of his hand.
She closed her eyes and said calmly, "When the child grows up, she should be allowed to fly on her own."
Listening to her comforting herself, Wang Guihua felt very uncomfortable.
Li Xiaoyu always shows more kindness to Wang Guihua, probably because her parents divorced when she was young and she has never experienced maternal love.
"There are dangers everywhere. Soldiers in battle know that life and death are unpredictable, but they still go forward without hesitation. Why should we ordinary people be afraid?"
She was definitely not worthy of those warriors, just for a moment.
I just don’t know what words to use to comfort Wang Guihua.
These words made Wang Guihua very uncomfortable. She hugged Li Xiaoyu and cried on her shoulder.
"I understand, I understand everything, I just can't bear to leave you."
She only realized at her age that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and her daughter was going out again.
It's still such a dangerous place.
How could she bear to...
Her shoulders and clothes were wet, and Li Xiaoyu patted her shoulders.
He sighed and said in a casual tone: "Why would you be reluctant to leave? It's not like I won't come back. Maybe I will come back in two years."
She persuaded them one by one.
Finally, we dealt with them, only Li Wu was sulking.
Because Li Xiaoyu didn't persuade him.
Seeing that it was useless to stop him, Li Guangchang ran over and pushed the unhappy Li Wu away, saying reluctantly: "Xiao Yu, I wanted you to teach me how to count so that I can take over my father's restaurant. Now that you're gone, who am I going to learn from?"
Li Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "I don't know how to use an abacus, so how can I teach you how to calculate?"
Li Guangchang now trusted her very much and asked, "Who should I learn from then?"
He blinked and glanced at the old man next to him.
Seeing him glaring at Li Guangchang with bulging eyes, he rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Is the accountant of your restaurant still here?"
Hearing his third daughter's words, Li Wu withdrew his gaze unhappily.
He replied honestly: "He is still here."
"That's all. Go and learn from the accountant."
The day before she left, she found Wang Guihua privately and gave her the three silver notes that Li Wu had given her.
Seeing the other party's surprise, she said, "My father gave it to me."
Wang Guihua had never seen so much money before, it felt hot in her hands.
Worried about what Li Wu had done again.
He hurriedly asked, "Where did he come from?"
Li Xiaoyu lied casually: "I went to a gambling house with him before, and he won."
“How could he win so much?”
Seeing that she was suspicious, Li Xiaoyu interrupted her thoughts in time.
"Anyway, it's OK as long as the banknotes are legitimate money. You and your eldest sister want to start a handkerchief business, and you'll need money to purchase goods. If your second sister is willing to join you, take her along."
"As for these three banknotes, you can decide whether you want to split them with them or keep them for yourself."
