Left with no choice, Second Uncle Sun had to ask his wife and daughter-in-law to buy some tofu, pluck radishes and cabbage from the Sun Family Garden, and barely managed to prepare a few dishes for the occasion—it was a makeshift effort.
Once the funeral was over and relatives and friends had gone, the people of the Sun family were all complaining incessantly, each clutching their backs as they returned to their rooms to lie down.
It was then that Mutou found the opportunity to ask Wang Yongzhen what exactly had happened to his father. Wasn't he perfectly fine? How did falling over drunk lead to his death?
Full of bitterness and regret, Wang Yongzhen, upon hearing her younger son's question, couldn't help but speak. She still cared about keeping face, so she vaguely mentioned that the Wang Family had built a new house and everyone went to offer their congratulations. They drank too much on the way back home.
