Chapter 203 The Old Lady Passes Away
Chapter 203 The Old Lady Passes Away
They first visited Qin Yi with a fruit basket, gave the prescription to her aunt, and threatened Qin Yi to take the medicine obediently.
After getting Qin Yi's nod, Shen He told her about the situation at the Shen family.
Knowing that the old lady of the Shen family was dying, Qin Yi hurriedly urged her to get busy, "I'm afraid the Shen family is making preparations, so don't waste time here."
"Go quickly. Once the old lady leaves, you will have to officially lead the Shen family to venture into the Qing City business community. You can't let me down at this moment. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, then you should have a good rest and take the medicine obediently."
"Ah."
Shen He brought Song Jingcheng back to the Shen family, followed by Ma Kai and Yin Tao, both of whom were holding beautifully packaged gift boxes.
This was the first time that Song Jingcheng visited the Shen family as Shen He's boyfriend, so it was neither right nor proper for him to come empty-handed.
But the number of gifts he brought was comparable to the betrothal gifts offered by other families when discussing marriage.
Looking at the exaggerated gifts piled up in the main hall like a small mountain, the Shen family was flattered and for a moment, their voices became lower.
Even the loudest Second Aunt Zhu Chuyi acted like an elegant lady today.
She was afraid that she would say something wrong or do something vulgar, which would embarrass Shen He.
"Don't be so nervous." Shen He held back her smile and handed Second Aunt a cup of tea. She said, "Second Aunt, he will come to the Shen family often in the future. You can't hold him every time."
Second Aunt blushed and scolded Shen He: "Go away, stop teasing me!"
When Song Jingcheng saw Shen He smile, he smiled too, there was no doubt about it.
"I'm usually quite polite." Zhu Chuyi lied with her eyes open. She really didn't have the courage to talk to Song Jingcheng any more, so she found an excuse to get up and said, "Why haven't Jinyan and Zhilu come back yet? I'll go to the door to check."
Seeing that the old lady's luck was about to end, her brothers all followed their father out to do business.
The Shen family doesn't have a housekeeper, so when it comes to preparing for the funeral, everything has to be done by everyone themselves, and they are very busy.
The whole family is busy, only the third aunt who is in poor health does not need to run around, but she also has to stay at home and take care of Ms. Zhong all the time.
At this moment, Third Aunt had some free time, so she sat quietly on the sofa and observed Song Jingcheng.
Song Jingcheng also knew that she was observing him, and he was frank about it.
As the heir of the Song family, Song Jingcheng can remain calm and at ease in any situation.
After a moment, Sang Mingying spoke. "Today is a special day. My second brother and my husband are out on business, so there is no one to accompany Mr. Song."
"I apologize for neglecting Mr. Song."
"Third Aunt, you don't have to be so formal with me." Song Jingcheng's calling of "Third Aunt" startled Sang Mingying.
She subconsciously looked towards Shen He.
Shen He held the teacup and said nothing.
Her reaction actually showed that she agreed with Song Jingcheng's attitude.
Seeing this, Sang Mingying knew what was going on. "Since Mr. Song already calls me Third Aunt, I will treat you as my own family and won't be polite to you."
Sang Mingying said to Shen He, "Miaomiao, I will have the gifts that Mr. Song brought sent to the warehouse and locked up. I will come back to count them after I finish my current work."
The gifts that Song Jingcheng brought with him had to be counted and registered.
Later, when Song Jingcheng took her back to the Song family to meet his parents, the Shen family also had to prepare return gifts.
Just as Shen He was about to nod, she heard Song Jingcheng say, "Third Aunt, the Song family is small, and my mother is in a bad mental state. She will have to live in a nursing home from now on."
"As for other relatives, they are not important. When I have time, I will take Shen He to see my mother."
"My mother's biggest hobby is making incense seals. I heard from Shen He that Third Aunt is also a collector of spices. When the time comes, Third Aunt can pick out some spices you like for Shen He."
"Nothing else is necessary."
In short, there is no need to prepare too many gifts when you go to the Song family to meet the parents.
After hearing what Song Jingcheng said, Sang Mingying was very impressed with him. "Okay, I'll pick it carefully later. I hope Old Madam Song will like it too."
"I'll go see the old lady first."
Sang Mingying went to the room.
Song Jingcheng suddenly told Shen He: "If you need any help, just ask."
Shen He tilted her head and looked at him. Seeing the genuine love in Song Jingcheng's eyes, Shen He felt warm in her heart. She then said, "The Shen family is now climbing up the ladder. If Ms. Zhong goes, there will definitely be many people attending the funeral."
"When there are so many people, the relationships become complicated. I need you to introduce two housekeepers to me to handle this funeral so that I can learn from them."
"You finally knew to talk to me." Song Jingcheng was very pleased.
"I have prepared the people. A butler who will be responsible for supervising your two uncles to manage all the affairs inside and outside the house."
"A housekeeper, she will teach you how to deal with guests, you should learn from her."
After a pause, Song Jingcheng asked her again: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Shen He pointed to the wheelchair at the door and said with a half-smile, "You're staying up late with me in a wheelchair?"
Song Jingcheng: "Doesn't this further reflect our good relationship?"
"whatever."
The two were chatting when Shen Sili and his brothers finally came back.
Knowing that Shen He was coming, Shen Sili opened his voice and said, "Big sister, guess who I saw at the door!"
"I saw Mu Tingyun!"
"Hey, that scumbag brought a housekeeper with him, saying that she can help you with things. Don't you think he is just meddling in other people's business..."
Seeing Song Jingcheng sitting next to Shen He, Shen Sili suddenly became quiet.
Shen Jinyan raised his eyebrows and walked towards the sofa.
"Mr. Song, you are here too."
After greeting Song Jingcheng, Shen Jinyan told Shen He: "We have already rejected Mr. Mu San."
"Good rejection." Shen He pointed at Song Jingcheng and said, "The Song family's housekeeper will come to help later. You all should follow his lead and learn from him."
"...good."
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Ms. Zhong's condition became very bad.
All the descendants of the Shen family were called back, except for the eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Yulan who was still serving her sentence in prison, and Shen Yaozu who was in the juvenile detention center.
Even Shen Guanghui, who had been kicked out of the Shen family tree long ago, came back.
However, the Shen family did not let him in.
But Shen Guanghui was unwilling to leave. He had heard that Shen He was now involved with Song Jingcheng. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that only by being tied to the Shen family and getting Shen He's forgiveness could he have a good life in the future.
Nearing midnight, Ms. Zhong finally breathed her last and left this world.
The door of the Shen family was opened from the inside, and Shen Mingli walked out with Shen Sili.
Shen Guanghui thought his second brother had softened his heart and wanted to let him in. Just as he was about to go forward, he saw his second brother taking out a white lantern and elegiac couplets from a cardboard box.
Seeing this, Shen Guanghui was stunned, "Second brother, mother... is gone?"
Shen Mingli had just cried, and his eyes were still red. He told Shen Guanghui: "Don't stand here, go away."
"Before my mother died, she told us not to have any contact with your family of three."
"Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, Shen He will chase you away later."
As soon as Shen He was mentioned, Shen He came out with Xie Jin and Ma Kai.
"Uncle Ma, take Shen Guanghui away for me. Lock him up first and let him out after the funeral is over." After a pause, Shen He instructed Ma Kai: "Don't give him food, just give him water to drink. It's fine as long as he doesn't starve to death."
Now that the white lanterns have been hung up at the Shen family's, people will come to pay their respects one after another. Letting Shen Guanghui wander around outside is a hidden danger.
When Shen Guanghui was dragged away by Ma Kai, he couldn't help but yell at Shen He: "Shen He, you little bastard!"
"You are trying to imprison me. Do you believe that I will call the police after I get out and sue you for illegal imprisonment..."
Ma Kai knocked him unconscious with a palm strike, "Shut up."
The world suddenly became quiet.
Looking at the direction where Shen Guanghui was taken away, Shen He's face looked very gloomy.
In her previous life, after her grandmother passed away, she made many phone calls to beg Shen Guanghui to come back. But Shen Guanghui never showed up at her grandmother's funeral.
Now that Ms. Zhong is gone, he has become a filial son.
Ah.
Shen Guanghui, this old dog, is only filial to wealth and fame, but never to his two mothers who gave birth to him and raised him.
