When Lin Chen woke up, there was no one in the room. She was lying on the bed. Lin Chen hated waking up without anyone around. She was afraid of the loneliness, but she was already used to waking up alone. Her uncle told Lin Chen that she had slept for a day." I've asked the village doctor to see you. He said that you're too tired and sad. Chen 'er, rest well. Uncle is here for you."”
Grandma's funeral was scheduled for three days later. According to the custom, the Fengshui master would choose a good day to bury her. These days, Uncle was busy. Whether it was buying a coffin or finding a place to bury her, everything was done meticulously.
Lin Chen was probably too tired. After hearing his uncle say that everything was fine, Lin Chen fell asleep again. Perhaps only by sleeping could he escape more and not think too much. Lin Chen, who had been asleep for an entire day and night, finally woke up. He could not escape the pain. No matter what he did, he could not cover up the longing.
"Is Chen 'er feeling better?" The woman who called her Aunt asked, her tone carrying a hint of pretentiousness." You look really tired. Why don't you rest for a while?" Your health can't be delayed." Lin Chen felt that she was just putting on a show, as if she had planned her lines.
"It's alright now!" Lin Chen said.
"Chen 'er, you're still young and don't know anything. Don't give yourself too much pressure and trouble.”The woman who called her aunt spoke as if there was an unknown secret in her words.
Lin Chen didn't care and didn't respond. The woman called Aunt didn't say anything else either. Lin Chen didn't give her a chance to continue either. Lin Chen walked out of the room where he slept and headed towards the room where his grandmother's body was stored. Lin Chen saw his grandmother's body covered in white cloth from afar and he started to lose control. Everything in his mind disappeared, leaving only black and white.
As Lin Chen walked closer, he realized that there was a new set of mourning clothes on the table. According to tradition, every filial son would have a place on the memorial tablet. Lin Chen saw his name and felt much more awake. He knew what he should and should not do. He knew that it was his. When his grandmother was born, he was not a filial child. Now that his grandmother had passed away, he had no chance to make up for it. Lin Chen's eyes were as red as apples, making him feel pity.
"Chen 'er, are you feeling better? Rest well and take care of your health. Your grandmother doesn't want you to be unhappy, right?”Lin Chen was staring at his grandmother's body in a daze. Suddenly, his uncle spoke up from behind him. Lin Chen was startled awake and almost fell down.
"Much better. How's the burial going?”Lin Chen asked.
"Everything is fine. I went to find someone to buy it, but I couldn't buy the finished product in a short time. I plan to find someone to make a coffin now, but I'm not familiar with this place and I don't know who can make this!”His uncle was confused, but he seemed to be deep in thought. He looked troubled. Lin Chen was also troubled, so he understood his uncle's feelings. He sympathized with his uncle even more, but he still couldn't forgive him for letting go of his grandmother.
"Do you need a carpenter?" Lin Chen asked," I think Uncle Zhou from the village knows this. I'll go ask him."”Lin Chen said after thinking for a while.
"It's fine. I'll go and ask them if they're willing to come.”Uncle insisted.
"Alright, that works too!" Lin Chen agreed.
It was almost dinnertime, but his uncle was still not back. Lin Chen was a little worried about why he was still not back. The woman who called him Aunt was calm." Chen 'er, it's time to eat. Your uncle has never had a regular schedule…"
Lin Chen didn't say anything. After dinner, he saw that his father hadn't returned yet, so he went to see what was going on. It had been a few hours. Ever since his father had left, Lin Chen had been afraid of things that didn't have a response.
Just as Lin Chen was feeling uneasy, his uncle pushed open the door and came in. He looked depressed. Lin Chen could guess the answer. Uncle Zhou was a tough person. He had stopped working as a carpenter a few years ago. Moreover, before his uncle appeared, Uncle Zhou had also become angry at his uncle after seeing how difficult his grandmother and Lin Chen were living. The villagers despised him, so…Uncle Zhou did not agree.”He said," I'll think of another way. If it doesn't work, I'll buy it elsewhere.”It was like a person talking to himself.
"I knew you didn't have the ability!" She mocked from the side.
"What did you say?" His uncle was obviously angered and started arguing.
"I didn't say anything. It's just the truth. There's no need for me to say anything, right?”She still refused to give up." What do you have to show me? What was there to brag about? What do you mean…"
"Don't I have you, a rich city lady, to show off?”His uncle had lost his confidence and suddenly said something that Lin Chen had never expected. Lin Chen couldn't believe his ears, but he quickly understood the reason. If it was really as his uncle said, his uncle must have come because of this woman's restrictions. On the other hand, as a man, why couldn't his uncle stand up for his mother with his pride? Everything made Lin Chen feel conflicted. The world was really too complicated.
