Chapter 269 The Last Time to Filial Piety

Actually, upon closer reflection, the last time we shook hands was to say a proper goodbye to our eldest daughter! But we didn't think about it that way.

When the eldest daughter learned of Yiyao's passing, she and her husband rented a car and returned home that very night. As they arrived at their doorstep, a large number of bees swarmed towards them.

What they didn't understand was that the place where the bees swarmed was where Yiyao stood. Because Yiyao had become an immortal bodhisattva.

She emitted a faint fragrance, which attracted a large number of bees. She first circled the place where she had lived before her death a few times.

We were all there, but we didn't wake Rosa, who was sleeping. Perhaps that was intentionally arranged by Yiyao!

After she and the swarm of bees left Xiawei, they arrived at the place where Rosa was. Rosa, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up and subconsciously looked at her phone.

Jianying's daughter asked in the group chat if she had told Rousha about her grandmother's passing.

Not long after, Rosa asked in the group chat what had happened.

Grandma has passed away! We're almost at Xiawei! But we were in such a rush that we didn't wake you up.

Oh! Did Grandma pass away peacefully? Waaaaah!

When I saw Rosa post a crying emoji in the group chat, I immediately messaged her and told her that we shouldn't cry when our grandmother passed away.

Because our crying would disturb her spirit, causing her to go to a bad place.

After that, we never mentioned Rosa's voice in the group chat again. It turned out that the little girl was lying quietly in bed listening to the most beautiful sound in the world.

Yiyao's funeral was organized by her eldest daughter, youngest daughter, and Jianying's daughter. The eldest daughter said that Yiyao loved beauty so much in life that even in her reincarnation, she became a sea of ​​flowers.

So I decided to order more than 20 flower baskets from a florist for Yiyao, and also ordered two very large flower baskets to place at the entrance of the mourning hall.

However, one thing that truly chilled us was that Jianlin's adopted son and daughter-in-law ran a shop outside. They used the excuse that the shop was too busy to come back.

Actually, we know that Jianlin's current wife doesn't want her son to come back and wants them to avoid this matter.

Haha! This is probably the biggest difference between biological and non-biological children, right?

But how could Jianlin's son so easily evade the important matter of sending Yiyao off on his final journey?

So her brother-in-law took the initiative to persuade her to bring her son back.

You might ask, shouldn't this be something the eldest brother-in-law should do? But the relationship between the eldest brother-in-law and her is very strained. They have become estranged since the eldest sister passed away.

If the eldest brother-in-law goes down, then the second brother-in-law will be next. Since the eldest brother-in-law can't do this, then the second brother-in-law should be able to, right?

But she just couldn't stand her second sister's husband's son! The two of them would argue whenever they met. It was for this reason that the second sister didn't invite her own son to Yiyao's funeral.

The second sister said she always stared intently at her son. And her son would uncontrollably throw tantrums, so she was afraid the two of them would argue at the funeral.

Sigh! I'm speechless! She only has three sisters-in-law, and she offended two of them in one go!

Perhaps it was because Jianying's husband's family owned an envelope manufacturing factory? That's why she didn't dare to offend them easily!

We divided the work: my eldest daughter was in charge of managing the overall funeral arrangements, while my younger daughter and Jianying's daughter were responsible for collecting the red envelopes that guests gave us when they came to pay their respects.

Rousa and Jianying were responsible for keeping an eye on the candles in the mourning hall to make sure they weren't blown out by the wind. They also had to burn some paper money for Yiyao, who had already gone to heaven, from time to time.

My second sister said that we shouldn't burn paper money for Yiyao, because the places Yiyao goes to don't need these things.

If she wants to eat something, she only needs to smell its aroma to eat it. Moreover, the place she goes to is spring-like all year round, and she only needs to wear a very thin piece of clothing.

The eldest son-in-law also told us that he bought Yiyao a car and a driver's license. Yiyao is located in the Temple of Heaven.

How wonderful it would be if Grandma could drive around the Temple of Heaven in her little car! Can you tell me what Grandma needs? I'll go buy it for her!

Wow! You guys are so strange! How come you didn't shed a single tear when your own mother passed away? If my mother had passed away, I would have cried my heart out.

How could we not cry? We started crying when she was lying in bed needing to be taken care of. Perhaps it was because she knew that her grandmother had gone to a very beautiful place that Rosa appeared calm and composed at the funeral.

On the first night of keeping vigil for Yiyao, we daughters sat around Yiyao's ice coffin, silently shedding tears while softly chanting Buddhist mantras.

Rosa knelt to one side burning paper money. After burning the paper money for a while, she stood up and gently brushed away the ashes that had fallen on the ice coffin.

Jianying, who was sitting next to me, also stood up at this moment to help Rousha clean the soot off the ice coffin.

Turning my head, I saw a large butterfly quietly resting on the door frame. I wondered if the late Jianmei knew that Yiyao had passed away, so she transformed into a large butterfly to visit the house.

If someone had told me these strange things before, I wouldn't have believed a word. But after so many phenomena that can't be explained by science, I've come to believe them.

The third day after Yiyao's burial was the day her maternal family invited us, her filial sons and grandsons, to a meal to mourn her passing.

At the dinner table, everyone remained silent, eating with their heads down, while one person added a little bit of each dish to a large toothbrush cup.

No one can touch a newly served dish until the person in charge of the large tooth cup puts a little bit of the dish into the cup.

After the silent meal was finished, no one could go home immediately. Instead, they took a car back to Xiawei.

Rousa and I naturally rode in the car driven by our eldest son-in-law to the market town. Along the way, they freely complained about their dissatisfaction with Jianlin's adopted son.

Perhaps if it weren't for the younger sister's husband's strong insistence that they put the shop's business aside and come back to attend Yiyao's funeral, they might not have returned at all.

Because they were terrified that Yiyao's ghost would return! So they were unwilling to attend Yiyao's funeral.

Not to mention helping organize Yiyao's funeral! They couldn't even manage something as simple as holding a three-day vegetarian feast for the whole village at Yiyao's funeral.

Not to mention the incredibly demanding task of eating vegetarian for a hundred days! This responsibility naturally fell to the eldest daughter.
