Chapter 215 Fallen Leaves Return to Roots
On the way back to Qingyang, Li Dong was in a trance.
It's not that the sadness is hard to restrain, but that the world is impermanent and fate is unpredictable.
In his previous life, Li Chenghui lived freely and unrestrainedly, but in this life he was plagued by illness and passed away early. For the first time in his life, Li Dong felt that his life was so fragile.
Even though he has the ability to be a prophet, he has no ability to change anything. Li Dong even vaguely guessed that Li Chenghui's death may be related to his rebirth.
God is fair, and what you give will naturally give you something.
Li Dong was reborn, and Li Chengyuan and his wife got rid of the torment of illness and death. These are all actions against the sky, and Li Dong has always gained but not paid for these things.
That being the case, it is not incomprehensible that Li Chenghui, a blood relative of the Li family, died of illness early.
No matter what happened to the younger brother, or bad luck, anyway, Li Chenghui passed away in the end, and Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang were still alive and well.
These are all Li Dong's guesses. If they were put in the previous life, Li Dong would just treat them as nonsense.
But now that there is even rebirth, Li Dong faintly feels that it is somewhat believable.
...
Li Chenghui left at his home.
Perhaps feeling that time is running out, Li Chenghui chose to go home in the last few days of his life.
When Li Dong arrived, the front door of Li's house was wide open, and bursts of sobs could be heard from far away in the house.
In the living room, Li Chengyuan and his wife, Wang Li's mother and son, and Wang Li's natal brothers and sisters also all arrived, and everyone gathered in the living room to discuss something in a low voice.
Although Li Nanming and Wang Li looked ugly and their eyes were a little red and swollen, they seemed to have recovered a little at the moment.
Only Li Qing was still choking up, and the sobbing that came out just now came from Li Qing.
Seeing Li Dong enter the door, Cao Fang greeted him, and sighed in a low voice: "Go in and have a last look at your uncle."
Li Dong nodded without saying anything, and went straight into the room.
On the bed in the room, Li Chenghui had already put on his shroud.
tormented by illness,
Li Chenghui, who used to be tall and mighty, huddled into a ball, and the shroud prepared in advance was a bit too big, making him look even more bleak.
Standing by the bed, Li Dong was a little distracted.
At this moment, what Li Dong thought was nothing else, but whether Li Chenghui had suffered on behalf of himself and his parents?
Li Dong may never understand this question.
After staying in the room for a while, Li Dong sighed, took one last look at Li Chenghui, turned and left the room.
...
In the living room, Li Chengyuan was talking to Wang Li's second brother in a low voice.
When Li Dong came out, Li Chengyuan said agitatedly, "I don't agree with this matter! Everyone is gone, you are still planning this, do you still have a conscience?"
Wang Li's second brother, Wang Hongmin, also retorted fiercely: "Look at what you said, I am not a human being inside and out! Am I doing it for myself? I am also doing it for their mother and three!"
"Everyone is gone, but the living have to live! Going back to the countryside for a funeral will cost at least tens of thousands. I haven't returned to my hometown for so many years. Why waste this money?"
"Cremated directly in the city, and buried in a cemetery, isn't it better than being buried in the countryside?"
"Besides, I'm just offering a suggestion, what's the use of you yelling at me!"
Li Chengyuan blushed angrily, glared at Li Nanming next to him and said, "Nanming, you are considered an adult, what do you say about this?"
Li Nanming was smoking a cigarette without saying a word, and when Li Chengyuan asked, he said in a muffled voice: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether this matter is done or not, since there are not many people in my hometown anyway."
Li Chengyuan's face turned pale with anger, Li Dong hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back.
After Li Chengyuan took a breath, Li Dong frowned and said: "Auntie, please tell me about this matter. I remember that you asked my dad to go back to his hometown to attend the funeral. If we don't do it now, give us your opinion. If we don't do it, we won't do it either." Mind your own business!"
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Li Chengyuan glared at him.
Obviously he was very dissatisfied with Li Dong's meddling. In his opinion, this is not a nosy matter. The only brother left. Li Chengyuan didn't want him to leave in such a miserable way. He had to be buried in a grand manner.
Wang Li hesitated for a while and didn't say anything.
Li Qing, who was sobbing all the time, suddenly said: "Do it! My father said before leaving that he wanted to return the fallen leaves to their roots, so I will leave it to my second uncle."
Li Dong looked at her in surprise, Li Qing had never called second uncle before.
It seems that Li Chenghui's death has hit her hard and made her grow up.
Compared to Li Nanming's coolness, Li Qing always misses this father.
Seeing what Li Qing said, Wang Li sighed, "Let's do it. Everyone is gone. This is the last time in this life. We can't let him go to the ground in a miserable state."
With Wang Li saying this, the matter is settled.
Wang Hongmin wanted to say more, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't speak out.
Although he was going back to his hometown to be buried, he still had to be cremated in Qingyang, and then everyone discussed about the funeral.
By the time the discussions were over, it was getting dark.
In the evening, Li Chengyuan and the others stayed in the hotel.
On the way back to the hotel, Cao Fang's face was cloudy, and Li Chengyuan didn't say anything.
Li Dong could see it, and persuaded: "Uncle leaves, and the relationship will be far away in the future. For the last time in this life, I don't need these few money. Forget it."
Cao Fang said angrily: "You can't say that! Your uncle is gone, and your father should help, but they help and pay for it. What they did is too dishonest!"
Li Chengyuan frowned and said, "Didn't sister-in-law give ten thousand?"
"Ten thousand? They are too embarrassed!"
"The cremation fee plus going back to my hometown to hold a banquet, isn't thirty or forty thousand enough? Our family does not lack this money, but this is not a matter of money!"
Cao Fang snorted angrily, if it wasn't for Li Chenghui's funeral at the Li family just now, she would have lost her temper a long time ago.
The people haven't sent them away yet, these people just do this, and they are not afraid that Li Chenghui will come back to find them!
Seeing this, Li Dong persuaded again: "Mom, don't worry about it, it's just tens of thousands of dollars, I'll pay for it, so don't quarrel."
If Cao Fang didn't have to get angry about this before, Li Dong would have turned his back on the spot.
But today Li Dong thought a lot. Although he didn't know whether Li Chenghui had been treated on behalf of his brother, Li Dong felt that the possibility was very high.
That being the case, then Li Dong is not stingy with paying the money.
Don't say tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, Li Dong is willing to pay this money for peace of mind.
He didn't ask for anything else, he just hoped that Li Chenghui's accident would bring his parents' well-being back for decades.
It's not that Li Dong is cold-blooded, people are selfish. Although Li Chenghui is his uncle, but no matter how close they are, they are not his parents.
If Li Chenghui's death could be exchanged for the health of his parents, Li Dong would not hesitate.
When Cao Fang saw what Li Dong said, the corners of her mouth twitched, but in the end she didn't speak anymore.
Li Chengyuan patted Li Dong on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "You did the right thing. If you didn't have money before, it's fine. Now we don't lack this money. I feel better if I spend some money."
Li Dong nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Just praying in my heart, hoping that my guess is correct.
