After listening to Hu Jing's words, Hu's father looked dignified. This matter can be big or small. It's all up to the Dou family.

"It's in my heart. Don't talk about it. Go back to the old lady's wake now. In the afternoon, I explained to her that I didn't feel well two days ago. You came back early yesterday morning with a cold on the road. Now you're sick. You'll go over and pretend a little. No matter what they ask, you'll try your best to keep silent and answer more wrongly. Do you understand?"

"But Dad, I, I'm afraid... I don't want to go to the wake..." Hu Jing said the word "Wake". Her voice was trembling. She was nervous. In addition to fearing that something would be disclosed and the police would catch her, she was also afraid of Mrs. Dou's death. Last night, she had been dreaming that Mrs. Dou would come to her with blood all over her body

She shook her head, "Dad, I'm not going..."

"You must go!" Hu's mind is still clear, "you are the granddaughter-in-law of the Dou family. When the old lady dies, you can't avoid appearing. What will others say about you when they see you? What about our family? What will Dou Jia think of you? Even if we don't care about our reputation, you will arouse the suspicion of others. Besides, they won't really want you to have a sick daughter's house there, and you will act like it. "

Hu Fu then said to Hu mu, "go and get her something to eat. I'll take her to Dou's house later."

He Jifan didn't sleep all night last night. Dou Wei'er asked him to have a rest. He didn't refuse, but he didn't sleep too long. When he woke up, it was less than eleven o'clock.

When he came out to the Lingtang, Hu Fu came with Hu Jing and was talking to Dou Fu and Dou mu in the Lingtang.

He Jifan went in and saw Hu Jing standing on one side with her head down. Her eyes were dark.

"Xiaojing was confused last night. She just got better. I wanted to send her back tomorrow. She insisted that she would come here now. She said that the old lady was usually nice to her. She felt guilty for not coming early. You said that the child was always so stubborn." Hu's father's words sound like reproach, but they are heartbreaking. He is also saying good things for Hu Jing.

Dou's mother is quite prejudiced against Hu's father because Hu's father spoiled his work. However, she is good at her daughter-in-law, whom she married after spending a lot of money. After listening to Hu's father's words, she hastily said, "it's not bad. Miaomiao is sleeping in the house. Go to sleep with him. You're not in good health. Now it's very cold at night. Don't freeze any more, Let Jin Wen and his father guard here. We'll go to bed later. "

By "we" she means her and Dou Wei'er.

Dou Wei'er sits on the chair and looks at her grandmother's portrait. She doesn't care about the conversation of several people beside her. Suddenly she seems to feel something. She turns her head to the door and finds he Jifan coming. Her voice is a little hoarse and asks, "how did you come?"

Hu's father knew that someone came in behind him. He turned his head and saw he Jifan. His eyes changed. When he came in the afternoon, he learned that Dou Wei'er had brought a boyfriend back. It was said that he was still the boss of a big company. Hu's father didn't know anything about business. He just looked at he Jifan's temperament and knew that he was not easy to be provoked.

"Wake up." He Jifan returns to Dou Weier's words, and his eyes sweep to Hu Fu and Hu Jing, and he soon takes them back.

Dou Wei'er said nothing more. He Jifan came to her and stood still.

Hu Fu said to Dou mu, "it's late, so I'll go back first." Then she patted Hu Jing on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Hu Jing stood there, feeling cold all over, nervously grasping the hem of her clothes, and her face was not normal.

Dou's mother just thought that she was ill and urged her to go back to her room to sleep. Hu Jing nodded, said nothing and walked out of the hall quickly.

"Wei'er, go to bed too. Just let Jin Wen and his father guard here." Dou's mother said to he Jifan, "Jifan, go back to sleep. It's a humble home. I don't know if you are used to it?"

He Jifan nodded with great grace, "OK."

Dou's mother laughed and said, "if you are used to living, you will often come back to live when you have time. Your aunt is always welcome."

He Jifan's smile does not change, and his eyes are alienated.

Dou Mu's mind, he can see through at a glance.

Dou Wei'er suddenly said: "aunt, go to bed. I'm here with grandma. Grandma likes to be quiet too. It's so late. Grandma is going to bed too."

She was clearly saying that Dou's mother was too noisy. When Dou's mother heard it, she didn't care with Dou Wei'er. After a while, she went back to sleep contentedly.

"Go back and rest." Dou Wei'er looks at he Jifan sitting beside him. Thinking that he took care of her last night, she can't help saying.

"I've had a rest, it's going to be great."

Dou Wei'er saw the insistence in his eyes and said nothing more.

Dou Fu fell asleep wrapped in the quilt rented from the funeral band, snoring loudly. Dou Jinwen didn't know when to leave the mourning hall, and came back after a long time.

It was a long and short night. Dou Wei'er woke up and found that she was sleeping in he Jifan's arms. She was wrapped in a blanket, and her neck and waist were stiff. After a while, she slowly straightened up.

"Thank you." Dou Wei'er's eyes are still red.

He Jifan kept holding her, half of his body was numb by Dou Wei'er. After she fell asleep, he was reluctant to move for fear of waking her up.

"You don't have to be so different from me." He grinned, "do you feel uncomfortable?"

Dou Wei Er shakes her head. "I'm fine." Aware of he Jifan's strange posture, she looked at him and said, "what's the matter with you?"

He Jifan said with a smile, "it's OK, but the arm is a little numb. It's much better now." To prove himself, he raised his arm.

"I'm the one who's numb? Why don't you wake me up? " Dou Wei'er's eyes fall on he Jifan's arm. His eyes are very different from those of he Jifan before.

"It's rare that you fell asleep." How could he have the heart to wake her up.

Dou Wei'er understood his words, some uneasily put aside his sight, "go to wash and have a meal."

Hu Jing was in a bad mood. She didn't fall asleep all night. Her face was haggard and ugly. Dou Wei'er was a little strange when she saw her face, but she didn't care.

Dou's mother is washing Miaomiao's face. Miaomiao is less than one year old, and her eyes are pure and ignorant. When she sees Dou Wei'er, her eyes are bright, and she holds her hand to hold her.

Dou Wei'er's low mood eased when he looked into his eyes.

In the past, Hu Jing didn't like her son so much as Dou Wei'er. She couldn't even compare with her serious mother. Today, she is not in the mood to care about this. After breakfast, she hides in her room.

Dou Jinwen went back to her room last night and asked her if the sudden death of Mrs. Dou was related to her. She naturally denied it.

Dou Jinwen didn't say much and left with a black face. Hu Jing was not sure what he meant, but she was not afraid of him. Since he guessed that the old man's death might be due to what she said, he must also know that what she said had something to do with him and He Yiyi.

In the final analysis, the death of Mrs. Dou 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 she had or didn't have.

Hu Jing is worried about whether the nurse will say anything to Dou Wei'er. If Dou Wei'er knows that she has been to the ward before the old man's illness, she can't be sure that Dou Wei'er won't doubt her. When Hu Jing wants to call the nurse, she finds that there is no nurse's number at all.

She didn't really care about the old man's condition at the beginning. How could she have the number of a nurse.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She called her father and told him about it.

Hu's father lived several decades longer and looked at problems more thoroughly than Hu Jing. He said, "what if I knew you had been there before the old lady's illness? As long as you don't admit it, who knows what you said to the old lady to stimulate her? From now on, remember, you didn't say anything unpleasant to the old lady. That morning, you just went to say goodbye to the old man, because you wanted to go home to visit your sick father. The old man was fine when you left. Do you understand? "

"Dad... I, I'm still afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. Do as your father says. You'll be fine. I've burned the dress you came back wearing. There's no evidence that the old lady's death is related to you. Even if there's monitoring in the hospital corridor, it can't be taken in the ward. I'm at ease."

"Is it really going to be ok?" Hu Jing is still upset.

"Dad, I promise, I won't let you do anything." Hu's father is serious.

Hu Jing was a little relieved, "I know." Her eyes were red. "Thank you, Dad. I'm sorry, Dad. I shouldn't have listened to you at the beginning. I hurt your heart because of Dou Jinwen's quarrel with you..."

"Silly child, it's gone. You'll always be dad's favorite daughter."

Hu Jing burst into tears.

When Dou's mother sent Miaomiao in, she saw that Hu Jing was crying so much that she thought she was crying for the old lady. She comforted her by saying that the more she cried, the more fierce she was. Finally, she went with her.

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.

He Jifan not only accompanies Dou Wei'er, but also helps manage the funeral. He greets the deceased as his grandson-in-law. After the funeral, all his relatives and friends know him.

Dou Wei'er kneels in front of the old man's tombstone, letting the night fall around her.

On the night in mid April, it was a little cold. The man's coat with body temperature was on her. She turned her head and could only see the outline of he Jifan. There was no light around, only a few rays of light from the moon overhead.

"Go back." In the silent darkness, he Jifan's voice seemed to knock on the heart.

Dou Wei'er's right hand was covered with he Jifan's hand on her right shoulder. She asked without end: "is what you said true?"

"What?"

"You said that you would always accompany me and not let me alone."

Voice just fell, dou Wei'er felt put on his shoulder hand tightened strength, "it's true, as long as you want to."

"Will you have as many girlfriends as before?"

"No

"Where's the mother of the state?"

"It won't matter in the future."

How can there be no relationship? The state is the link between them, flowing their blood, they will never break the relationship, dou Wei'er thought so, but did not say so.

"Well, I'd like you to stay with me all the time." These days, she watched he Jifan busy, she always thought, when grandma died, will still worry that she will not rely on it?

Will you still regret that you didn't see your granddaughter enter the marriage palace?

He Jifan asked uncertainly: "are you serious?"

Dou Wei'er said, "if you don't want to, it's OK."

"No, no, I will." He Jifan hugged her and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Wei Wei'er. I'm honored to have the opportunity to be with you."

Dou Wei'er shed tears, smile, "you say, it seems that some poor, so many women waiting for you to spoil it, but also afraid not to marry a wife."

"You are the only one I want to marry, and you will be the only one in the future." After a pause, he said, "you believe me."

"Well, I believe you. I believe you this time." Dou Weier buried his face in his arms. He had not used perfume for days. He still had a faint smell of men's perfume, and he was very fond of it, and kept people intoxicated as in the past.

He Jifan smelled her hair, "I will live up to your trust."

"But..." dou Wei'er said two words with turning point.

He Jifan is a little nervous, for fear that she will go back, "what's the matter?"

Even if you can't see his expression clearly, dou Wei'er can feel his uneasiness and can't help laughing. "Don't be nervous. I just want to say that because of he... Your mother's reason, grandma doesn't agree with us. Now I'm against her wishes. Should you say something to my grandma?"

He Jifan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "it should be."

He knelt down in front of Mrs. Dou, straightened his back, as solemn as he swore to the national flag when he joined the party when he was 18 years old, "grandma, you can rest assured to give Wei'er to me, no matter how my mother is, I will not let her suffer half injustice."

"What else?"

"In the future, we will listen to Wei'er's little things at home. We will discuss and decide the big things together. All the money I earn will be given to her."

Dou Wei'er is amused by his serious appearance, and the haze that has enveloped her heart these days seems to have dissipated with the night wind.

She can only see the outline of the tombstone, thinking, I will try to make myself happy, grandma, you can rest assured.

Even if time proves that he Jifan is not her lover in the future, she will try her best to live the best.

Mrs. Dou's tomb is in a cemetery in the north of the village. She is buried side by side with Mr. Dou. There are lots of tombs around her. The wind blows through here and makes a "whine" sound. It looks very bleak and gloomy in the dark night.

He Jifan embraces Dou Wei'er and goes back along the dimly visible path.

Drawing away from the sadness of Mrs. Dou's death, dou Wei'er finds that the scenery around her is a little terrible. She can't help but shrink to he Jifan's arms.

When they got home, the funeral band, relatives and friends had already left, and the temporary shed in the yard had been demolished. Everything was the same as before. The hall was brightly lit. As soon as they entered the big iron gate, they heard Dou Mu's voice in the room.

"Get rid of all the expenses and make a net profit of 11000!" Dou's mother was excited and turned to see Dou Wei'er and he Jifan. She said, "although all the expenses on the funeral are from Jifan, Jifan is so rich that she won't compete with us for this money, right?"

"Besides, you must not be in your hometown in the future. If it's windy and rainy, and if the old man's monument is washed down, we need money to repair it. We take the money for the old man, don't we?"
