Chapter 283 She Must Kowtow at Your Mother's Grave!

Dong Aniu panicked: "Don't be like this, Lifen, we have agreed on it."

He ran to Lifen, kept apologizing and saying nice things.

Lifen's family looked askance at Grandma Qin's expression.

However, Grandma Qin was calm and went to the kitchen to fetch water to prepare for cooking.

Aunt Ma felt that she did not get the respect she deserved.

Dong Aniu asked to marry her daughter, but Grandma Qin still had a condescending attitude.

"Lifen, it seems that there is nothing to talk about this marriage, let's go now!" Aunt Ma said, and was supported by her two sons to go out.

Lifen shook off Dong Aniu's hand and left with her mother.

Dong Aniu gave them all his wealth, so how could he just run away with his daughter-in-law?

"Lifen, don't leave, listen to my explanation." He shouted and chased after her.

After a while, when Dong Aniu came back, he stared at Grandma Qin who was lighting the fire and preparing to cook, with resentment in his eyes.

"Aunt, why did you mess up my marriage with Lifen?"

"Before she came, didn't I tell you that you were so indifferent to her mother, Aunt Ma? Where can I put my face?"

Grandma Qin put the washed rice into the pot.

She stood up and held the edge of the stove.

"Aniu, I have found out everything. When your mother was alive, she didn't agree to you marrying her!"

"You are so good. You sold the bricks at home without their knowledge."

"How much silver can those broken bricks sell for? You are really crazy. You killed your parents with your own hands. It was not the snowstorm, but your stupidity!"

Grandma Qin said, unable to hide her anger.

If Chen Ye hadn't gone to the village where Dong Aniu and his family lived and asked the villagers about it.

She didn't know that the tragedy of the Dong family was caused by Dong Aniu.

Dong Aniu was shocked.

How did Grandma Qin know? It must be those talkative villagers...

"Aunt," Dong Aniu knelt down crying when he saw that he couldn't hide it: "I regret it, otherwise, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get married."

"My mother's wish before she died was to see the three of us brothers and sisters get married, please help me."

"Lifen is hardworking and pretty. With my conditions, I'm lucky to marry her."

Grandma Qin turned her back and sat on the bench without saying a word.

Dong Aniu crawled and knelt in front of her.

He clasped his hands together, bowed and kowtowed back and forth, and his thin yellow face was full of tears.

"Aunt, you can do it with just a wave of your hand, why bother me? I am one of your few relatives in this world!"

"Aunt, have you forgotten that my mother asked my younger sister to secretly send you food to help you? At that time, you were not as rich as you are now."

"If my mother knew that I gave everything to Lifen, but was dumped by her family, how sad she would be?"

Grandma Qin closed her eyes, her gray hair made the wrinkles between her eyebrows look haggard.

When she spoke again, she had compromised: "I can agree to your marriage, and I can also give you some money to support you."

"But there is a prerequisite," Grandma Qin opened her eyes and looked dignified: "Your marriage must wait until the seventh day after your mother's death."

"On her seventh day, which is tomorrow, Lifen must kneel down in front of her grave to worship her. If Lifen can do it, I will help you marry her without any hesitation."

Dong Aniu hesitated: "But..."

Grandma Qin immediately showed her attitude: "If it doesn't work, I don't agree with you marrying her."

"In the village where Lifen lives, the villagers' evaluation of her is 'fickle', you'd better think it over!"

Dong Aniu saw that Grandma Qin actually understood everything clearly.

He was a little panicked.

"Aunt, we agree, we will do as you say."

Grandma Qin sneered briefly: "You don't have the final say, you should ask her, if she agrees, you will follow me to worship your mother tomorrow."

The next day, the wind was cold.

Chen Ye drove a horse-drawn carriage and accompanied Grandma Qin to Nanshui Village to pay tribute to her sister, Old Lady Dong.

Two lonely graves, without even a tombstone, stood on the snow-white barren mountain.

"Sister, we are all miserable people." Grandma Qin's old hands touched the grave with tears in her eyes.

Chen Ye found a piece of wood from nearby and carved the surnames of Old Lady Dong and her husband with a dagger, which was considered a tombstone.

Grandma Qin just took out a plate of food and placed it in front of the grave.

At this time, Dong Aniu's panting voice came from behind: "Aunt, we are here!"

Grandma Qin looked back and saw Dong Aniu dragging Lifen, rushing in the snow with one deep step and one shallow step.

Lifen was obviously reluctant and kept pushing Dong Aniu.

"Don't pull, I can walk by myself." She shouted in dissatisfaction.

After finally arriving in front of Grandma Qin, Dong Aniu exhaled a cold white mist as if to please her.

"Aunt, is this okay? Lifen is willing to come."

Grandma Qin looked at Lifen: "Kneel down and kowtow to Aniu's mother."

Lifen's eyes widened.

The impolite look immediately turned to Dong Aniu.

"You only said you were coming, but you didn't say you had to kowtow to your mother!"

Grandma Qin said coldly: "If you marry Aniu, you will be a member of the Dong family. You can only enter the house after you kowtow to his mother."

Dong Aniu smiled at Lifen flatteringly: "I'll inconvenience you for a while."

Chen Ye saw that there seemed to be some secret in their eyes. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Lifen knelt down reluctantly.

Chen Ye's eyes were deep, and he remembered this subtle change in his heart.

Lifen kowtowed in front of the grave, and Grandma Qin's complexion finally improved a lot.

She said to the grave: "Sister, Aniu is getting married, don't worry, I will take care of him."

After that, she returned to the carriage.

Before leaving, Grandma Qin handed Dong Aniu a bundle.

"There is some silver in it, you can buy some things, and there is still a month, which is enough for you to handle it well."

After speaking, Chen Ye drove the carriage away.

Lifen stood in the cold wind, gritting her teeth in anger.

"This old lady Qin didn't even invite us to get on the carriage and go together."

She poked Dong Aniu's head fiercely: "You are so useless, what she said is what it is?"

"Didn't we agree that you would ask her to help me find the arrogant bitch that day?"

"You dare not say a word, you..."

Before Lifen finished her words, Dong Aniu had already opened the bundle.

Suddenly, the two were attracted by the white light.

It turned out that what Grandma Qin put in the package was fifty taels of silver!

With this money, they would be much more well-off!

Three days passed.

Shen Ningning was carried by Xie Suzhi to the willow pavilion in the west of the city to see off Xie Mingxu who was about to go to the border.

"Godfather, put me down, I can walk by myself."

"Let godfather hold you, the snow ahead is too deep." Xie Suzhi stood in the pavilion, looking at Xie Mingxu who had finished the military inspection and rode over not far away.

Xie Suzhi urged calmly: "It's time to go, right? Don't waste time."

Xie Mingxu nodded, and his dark eyes turned to look at Shen Ningning.

"Ningning, come to my brother's arms."
