Chapter 64 Farewell to Yun Qiuying

The news came suddenly, and Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment.

I immediately went upstairs to change clothes without even having time to talk about the robot.

She said hello to the Lilliputian Kingdom and said she would be away for a few days.

He told the robot Nezha to look after the house, took his cell phone and bag, and hurried next door.

What Yun Zhen didn't know was that about 5 minutes after she left the study, a skinny and slightly hunchbacked figure walked slowly through the scene of Lilliput.

The figure stood on tiptoe to look at the situation on the mountain, but didn't find anything to eat, so he left with a sigh.

Dad Yun drove and took Mom Yun and Yun Zhen back to the countryside.

Although it is called the countryside, it is actually Lingshan Village in Qingxi County, which is close to Ya City.

In the past few years, rural construction has been in full swing. Many villages have been transformed and are as prosperous as cities, with complete infrastructure.

The great aunt who has passed away now was Grandpa Yunzhen's second sister.

Grandpa Yun passed away due to illness a year ago. I didn't expect to lose a second elder so soon.

My great-aunt was a wealthy woman. She made her fortune in the catering industry in her middle age and later entered the real estate industry. She rose rapidly on the wave of the times and accumulated a fortune of more than ten billion over the decades.

Such wealth may not be ranked among the richest in the whole province, but in Qingxi County he is truly the richest man.

My great aunt is open-minded, cheerful and helpful, and has helped many people over the years.

She is also kind and gentle to younger generations, and Yunzhen likes her very much.

On the way, Yunzhen asked his parents: "Why did he die suddenly? He seemed fine during the Chinese New Year."

Mother Yun looked sad. "When she was on a business trip to another province, she had an argument with a business partner. The partner had a bad temper and pushed your great-aunt down the stairs impulsively. She fell and hit her head. She bled and fainted on the spot. She had three operations and was bedridden for several months. She couldn't hold on last night and passed away after saying her last words."

My great aunt is 79 years old this year and usually enjoys her retirement.

The reason I had to go on business trips before was because my partners were arrogant and the amount of debt they owed was too large.

My great aunt thought that if she went to negotiate in person, the other party would be able to pay back some of the debt, but who knew that he was such a shameless idiot who even dared to hurt others!

Father Yun was particularly angry about this: "That bastard has been arrested. When the funeral is over, he will be killed!"

My great aunt was very kind to Yun's father and mother. It was she who brought the couple together.

Grandpa Yun was an ordinary worker, and his family background was far inferior to that of his second sister. The capital for Dad Yun's business was supported by his great aunt.

The couple were very grateful to this generous and righteous aunt, and have been treating each other as their own mother over the years.

The two families have frequent contacts and close relations, and they will help each other in any matter.

Yunzhen followed his parents to Lingshan Village, got off the car and walked to his great aunt's house.

A large group of people have gathered here, including relatives and friends of the Yun family, as well as villagers from the village.

The weather was hot and the body could not be kept there, so the funeral was scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Yun came early to help with the funeral arrangements.

According to local customs, Yunzhen's family did not need to wear mourning clothes, they just needed to tie a hemp rope on their hands.

My great-aunt's family was a wealthy family in the village. The five-story villa they built more than ten years ago was very luxurious.

At this time, the gate of the villa was completely open, and the living room on the first floor was also arranged as a mourning hall.

My great aunt's coffin is placed in the living room. There is an offering table at the door with her tablet, candles and incense burners on it. People who come to burn incense can do it themselves.

Yunzhen and his parents walked into the living room to take one last look at his great aunt's remains.

The face of the deceased was not good looking, his flesh was shriveled and sunken, and his complexion was as yellow as gold paper.

There was deafening crying in the mourning hall, and when Mother Yun saw the coffin, she also burst into tears.

Infected by the sad atmosphere, Yunzhen looked at his great-aunt's remains and quietly wiped his moist eyes.

She came to the altar, lit three incense sticks and put them in the incense burner.

Looking at the spirit tablet of my late wife, Xu's mother, Yun Qiuying, I whispered, "May you rest in peace."

For the next three days, Yunzhen's family lived in their great-aunt's villa, helping their cousin and uncle with the funeral arrangements.

On the morning of the third day, my great aunt's funeral was held to the sound of funeral music played by suona.

A lot of people came to the funeral. In addition to relatives, friends and villagers, county leaders, my great aunt's former partners, and people who had received her kindness came to burn incense and see her off.

An unexpected disaster took the life of my great-aunt, and Qingxi County lost a legendary richest woman.

As a philanthropist with a good reputation for benevolence and righteousness, such an ending is bound to make people sigh and regret.

After the funeral, Yunzhen and everyone else had a feast under the awning at the entrance of the villa.

Such funeral banquets are usually booked with professional chefs, and the freshly prepared meals will be delivered when the time comes.

The cooking place was not too far away, so my cousin rented a convenient house specifically for the chef.

There were 100 tables at my great aunt's funeral.

The Yun family is small and has few relatives, so most of the people attending the banquet are villagers and friends.

People who are familiar with each other are accustomed to sitting at the same table so that they can talk and reminisce.

As for Yunzhen, she sat at the children's table.

Sitting at the same table were my great aunt's cousins, 23-year-old Xu Jie and 15-year-old Xu Tao. There were also a few other kids, aged 6 or 7, who were brought by Xu's in-laws.

The group of children had a limited understanding of death and funerals, and their relationship with their great-aunt was relatively weak. They came to the banquet and treated it as a normal meal. When they saw her, they greeted her and called her by all kinds of names.

"Hello, auntie."

"Aunt, you are so beautiful."

"You called the wrong person, this is my cousin."

The random greetings diluted some of the sadness. As the oldest elder at the table, Yun Zhen automatically took on the responsibility of taking care of the younger ones.

Seeing that Xu Jie and Xu Tao were in low spirits, I wanted to say something to comfort them, but I felt that whatever I said would be powerless and pale.

In the end, he just patted them on the shoulders.

Xu Jie's eyes were red, and she looked towards the living room with worry, and said to her,

"After grandma passed away, grandpa has not spoken a word, and only eats a few bites of food. He has lost a lot of weight. I'm so afraid that grandpa will not be able to hold on. What should I do then?"

Yunzhen had heard about his great-aunt and great-uncle. It was said that they were childhood sweethearts and friends who shared weal and woe.

They supported each other during the difficult times of poverty and stayed together in love until today.

Yun Zhen couldn't predict what would happen to the wild geese after they lost their mates .

She looked in the direction of the living room.

My thin great-uncle was sitting there quietly, his body a little hunched, staring intently and dully at the place where the coffin had been placed, as if he still could not accept the death of his wife.

Yun Zhen blinked to hold back her tears and said to Xu Jie and her brother, "When you have time, spend more time with him. My great aunt must also want him to live well."
