C11 (1/2)

I had thought that my grandfather would eventually be able to resist the temptation of money and directly slam the door on his way out, and in my heart I was extremely looking forward to it. I thought that I could finally return to that simple but very warm home, but I never thought that not only did my grandfather not decline at the end, he would even target me with this sentence.

I was stunned. What kind of rhythm was this?

I blankly stared at Grandfather, not understanding what he meant by that. Or perhaps, he also feels that leaving me here is a bit unfair?

However, after Grandpa said this, he didn't pay any more attention to me. Instead, he turned around and said to the man who paid me, ”Today, all the family members are out. You are not allowed to stay in the funeral parlor.”

At this point, his grandfather paused for a moment, then said to the man: ”However, you must stay!”

When the man heard this, he seemed a little unwilling and a little hesitant. Seeing him like this, his grandfather continued, ”The so-called soul belongs to someone, fate is related. No matter what, a family member must stay here.”

”I'm not his relative.” Who knew that at this moment, the man's head turned and he immediately blurted out those words, shocking both grandfather and I. I thought that if you weren't a relative, why are you messing around with me and spending so much money?

The man clearly knew that his words were inappropriate, he laughed and looked towards Xiuqin: ”I am his friend, his friend, hehe!”

After his grandfather heard it, he did not pay any more attention to him and turned to Xiuqin and said, ”You can make the arrangements. Anyways, I need a relative to be guard here tonight, if not, I can only leave right now.”

Hearing her grandfather's words, Xiuqin's face changed, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the man beside her and said softly: ”Let me do it!”

As soon as Xiuqin's words fell, the four of us fell silent, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward. You have to know, after midnight, only a beautiful lady like Xiuqin was with us, and furthermore, she was a husband's new widow.

When I thought about it, I was secretly happy, so I sneaked a peek at Xiuqin, only to see that she had her head lowered, and no expression on her face. On the other hand, the man beside her was obviously unhappy, and looked at her grandfather with a dissatisfied expression, his cheeks were tensed tight, and after a long while, he finally let out a loud snort: ”Alright, alright, alright, if it really isn't possible, both Xiuqin and I are here, okay?”

Grandfather raised his head and glanced at the man and chuckled. ”That's good. It's not a problem to have one or two more people.”

With their plans made, Xiuqin started to evacuate the relatives and let the people return home. She left me on the side, so I asked Grandfather, what's the arrangements for tonight, is there anything wrong with me?

After his grandfather heard this, he laughed and pointed to the ice coffin on the floor and said, ”Tonight, other than the official position, you are the most comfortable!”

Upon hearing this, I was immediately curious. After all, this was a funeral home, where else could I be comfortable!?

”Master Ma, everything has been arranged, what should we do next?” In the blink of an eye, the hall was once again empty. Only then did Xiuqin come to the side of his grandfather's side with that man and asked him in a low voice.

His grandfather looked around, then looked at the portrait in the middle of the spiritual altar, then pointed at the side hall and said, ”Tonight, the three of us will stay there and take care of it.”

”We three? What about me? ”

Upon hearing this, I immediately noticed the problem, so I went over to ask my grandfather.

However, his grandfather pointed at the ice coffin and said, ”You sleep on the top tonight!”

”What?” Hearing this, I was startled and felt goosebumps. To be honest, I had already broken the record for staying in this funeral home. How could I be allowed to sleep on an ice coffin? What was that supposed to be!

At this moment, it wasn't that I was unhappy, but I was completely unwilling. I glared at my grandfather, thinking to myself, 'Why did this old man come up with such a wicked idea? Isn't this just pushing me to death?'

”I won't do it, I won't do it even if I'm beaten to death!” I flung my sleeves, and without bothering with the glaring Xiuqin and the man, I angrily dashed out of the hall.
