Jiang Feng was amazed. Had the sun risen to the west? This sarcastic and harsh Widow Ma was willing to sacrifice money to adopt Jiang Xiao Yue?
Before Jiang Feng could say anything, Jiang Xiaoyue said, ”Aunt Ma, I'm fine with being with brother, you don't need to adopt me!”
Widow Ma grimaced and roared, ”What do you mean okay? This little bastard has been away from the village for so many years. Come home with me!”
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Jiang Xiaoyue away.
Jiang Feng changed his position and blocked Widow Ma's hand without leaving a trace. He said, ”Widow Ma, hurry up and leave. If you continue shouting 'little bastard', I won't be able to stop myself from slapping you!”
”You!” Widow Ma wanted to say something, but when she looked at Lin Yi and Sikong Da behind Jiang Feng, she felt weak.
She gritted her teeth and said as she walked, ”You shameless thing, don't think I don't know what you're raising Xiao Yue for … ”Just you wait, if Xiao Yue doesn't let me raise you, I'll tell you that you won't even be able to leave the Jiang family village!”
Jiang Feng touched his nose and said to Jiang Xiaoyue, ”Don't be afraid, nothing will happen to you.”
Jiang Xiao Yue nodded while Sikong Da and the rest prayed for the Ma widow. ”You'd better not come. You really can't offend my master!”
When the head of the funeral squad saw that Jiang Feng had finished his argument, he walked over and complained, ”I thought it was a relative of yours. They've been blabbering for the entire afternoon and almost tore the coffin apart!”
Jiang Feng smiled and said, ”It's been hard on you, Brother Niu!” Is there anything else we need to prepare for the funeral? ”
Brother Niu thought for a while and said, ”We've found the tomb and built the mourning hall. The wreaths, paper men, and ingots are all good. What's missing is the person who carried the coffin when we buried him! ”
Jiang Feng looked at the group of mourners and said, ”Brother Niu, aren't there enough people here to carry coffins?”
Brother Niu laughed, ”Brother Jiang, let Ye Luo take root and settle in the ground. When carrying coffins in other places, you should pay attention to the people from your own family. Otherwise, your soul will not be able to leave your body! This Xiao Yue no longer has a family, she should at least look for a few of our village's people! ”
Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Yue who was sitting with Mu Qing in the distance and said, ”Alright, I'll go get someone right now! As your big brother, I can't possibly let even your little sister's parents down! ”
”Six people is enough!” Ox Bro shouted at Jiang Feng's retreating back.
Jiang Feng walked out of the yard and went to the village entrance to buy seven or eight bags of beef and seven or eight jugs of wine.
After all, asking someone for help couldn't just be asking empty-handed.
”Duk Duk Duk!”
”Is Uncle Jiang Tengda home?” Jiang Feng shouted.
After a while, the door opened and a simple, rural woman looked at Jiang Feng and asked, ”Who are you?”
Jiang Feng smiled, ”Aunt, it's me, Jiang Feng!”
The woman immediately thought of Jiang Feng and hastily made way for him.
Not mentioning the usual etiquette, Jiang Feng saw Uncle Jiang Tengda as well as Widow Ma when he entered the house.
Widow Ma looked at the meat and wine in Jiang Feng's hand and said while pinching her waist, ”Little bastard, you must be here to find brother Tengda to help carry the coffin!”
Jiang Feng looked at Widow Ma and felt both exasperated and amused. He could have crushed her to death with one finger, but she was still jumping around like this. She was truly a fearless person.
”Uncle Jiang, tomorrow, Xiao Yue's parents will be buried. I want to ask you to help me carry the coffin!” Jiang Feng stated his intention in coming here.
Jiang Tengda took the meat and wine and said with a smile: ”The neighbors should be doing me a favor. Look, why are you still taking things out!”
Jiang Feng smiled and walked out. There were still five people left to look for!
However, Jiang Feng hadn't been on guard against the treacherous Widow Ma. After he left, he began to talk to Jiang Tengda about Jiang Xiao Yue's unlucky fate, the death of her parents, and whoever carried the coffin.
When Widow Ma said this, Jiang Tengda only needed to run out and return the meat and wine to Jiang Feng. The Immortal Pet Continent wasn't like Earth, where people in this ignorant village still respected ghosts.
