C4 (1/2)

Looking at the image giving me a weird smile, I immediately came back to my senses. I thought that perhaps the woman wasn't seeing things, but was actually blinking when she saw the image.

In a short moment, the hand that I used to hold the portrait started to tremble slightly. I didn't know whether to throw it or not.

”Ma...” Master Ma, are you unwell? ” Perhaps the woman noticed my abnormality, but she stood still just like me and asked me in a low voice.

I secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva before regaining my senses. I looked at the woman and said tremblingly, ”No …” ”No problem, let's go.”

The moment the portrait entered the hall, a burst of wailing sounds could be heard. At this moment, it was finally time to go into mourning. The woman didn't care about me anymore and started to cry with her relatives.

I obediently brought the portrait to the center of the mourning hall. After kowtowing three times, I heaved a sigh of relief and ran to Grandfather's place without looking back. I thought to myself that this was finally the end.

When he returned to his grandfather's place, he saw his grandfather currently sitting there, puffing on a cigarette. After seeing me, he didn't even move his body. From the looks of it, he had no intention of leaving.

”Grandfather, we've completed it. Let's go!”

It didn't mean I wanted to stay, so as soon as I got there, I picked up my grandfather's wooden suitcase and hung it on my shoulder without saying a word.

”The funeral won't end, we won't be able to leave.” Without even raising his head, Grandfather suddenly replied and abruptly. He immediately poured a bucket of cold water over his head, shocking me to the point where I was dumbfounded. Besides, we are not related to this person, so it's not our turn to stand guard.

I immediately disagreed and looked at my grandfather. ”Grandfather, do you feel that you didn't get enough money?”

”Bullsh * t!” Grandfather immediately became angry when he heard that. He glared at me and shouted, ”You little brat, you only know how to earn money. Do you think that working capital is that kind of person?”

I curled my lips. I was completely skeptical of my grandfather's words.

There's a reason for this. You know, grandpa is famous in our area. People say, ”Give it right away”. Why? Because there were many times that his grandfather had helped people with their portraits and as soon as he finished painting, he immediately asked for money. Because there were many times that his grandfather had helped people with their portraits and as soon as he finished painting, he directly asked for money.

At this moment, the woman from before walked in. Her eyes looked a little swollen, and her face was full of grief. She held a stack of money in her hand, and even for someone like me who didn't care at all, I couldn't help but feel sad.

”Master Ma, it's been hard on you …” The woman walked over and handed the money over to her grandfather. She only said a few words before she choked with sobs again.

Grandfather accepted the money without even counting. Then, he gently waved his hand and said, ”It's not hard work. This is also part of my job. You don't have to be sad, your health is more important!”

Looking at his hypocritical appearance, I really want to pretend that I don't know him. This old man is too greedy for money.

The lady lightly nodded her head and said: ”Master Ma, please pack up. I will arrange someone to send you home right now.”

At this point, the woman turned around and was about to leave.

”Wait.” Grandfather suddenly called out to the woman, ”We'll be staying here today.”

Zhang Xuan's grandfather didn't say anything. With just a few words, he was unable to comprehend the situation.

I, who was at the side, was stunned. I thought to myself, ”He has already accepted the money and has already made a good person but he still hasn't left. Why is he still thinking of staying here to get a meal?”

The woman was also stunned as she looked at her grandfather with a puzzled expression.

”Your husband is worried about you, so the so-called meeting is fate. Since this old man has taken over this matter, he wants to go through with it and let your husband rest in peace. At the same time, I can accumulate merits for myself.”

When I heard this, I was immediately happy. I thought to myself, that is a matter of monks and Taoists, what does it have to do with my portrait?
