We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

Chapter 2 Luo Yu's Parents' Funeral

After hearing this, the eldest family thought that this made sense. After all, the money they paid now could be taken back later, and they could also gain a good reputation, which would be beneficial to their grandson. So they didn't say anything else and just did what they had to do.

Luo Yu was still not able to recover. His parents had only gone up the mountain to chop firewood. Just one day and one night had passed, and yet they were gone, in such a tragic way that they didn't even have time to explain.

Luo Yu cried so hard that she was out of breath. Luo Ci, who didn't know what was going on, only knew that her parents were lying there and thought they were sleeping. But when she saw her sister crying, Luo Ci started crying too.

Seeing the two sisters were heartbroken, he comforted them: "Yu girl, you have to cheer up. Although your parents' death was unexpected, you have to send them off properly. You also have to take good care of Ci girl."

After comforting them, the headman organized the villagers to get busy and discussed matters with Dafang. For the sake of their good reputation and their own plans, Dafang agreed with the headman and took out food for the villagers to cook. Some people chopped wood, some cooked, and some sewed shrouds and mourning clothes. The first ones that were made were given to Luo Yu and Luo Ci to wear. After a busy period, the mourning hall was set up, and Luo Yu and Luo Ci knelt in front of the coffin.

Luo Yu had no time for other things at the moment. Although she knew that her grandparents and uncle's family were just pretending and didn't know how they would collect the family's finances later, and although there was nothing valuable at home, the autumn harvest was completed and there was grain in the warehouse, which was the most valuable thing in their family. But considering that even if they were just pretending, at least they would handle their parents' funeral properly, she didn't care too much.

Taking care of the younger sister and burning paper money continuously, Luo Yu felt very sad when he thought about having to make a living at the hands of the eldest wife's family in the future. But when he thought about having a younger sister to take care of, Luo Yu would endure it and raise her up.

At this moment, she just wanted her parents' funeral to be completed properly and decently.

Under the leadership of the village head, the eldest house also paid a little more attention. At least the guests had meals. The food was from Luo Yu's family. Luo Yu and Luo Ci also had meals, and Lin even gave them some extra delicious food.

In the midst of busyness and tension, Luo Yu's parents were buried, and the funeral was completed. The other people in the village returned to their homes one after another, busy with their own things, leaving Luo Yu alone to feel sad.

Lin saw that the matter was over. She was also very tired, but when she saw that the matter was over and the head of the village was going to Luo Yu's house, Lin pulled her mother-in-law to follow behind him.

The village head saw Luo Yu and said, "The village has already helped with your parents' affairs. Now there are only two of you sisters left in the second branch. If you have any problems, just come to me. I will help you if I can. But it will be hard for you to raise such a little girl alone."

Before Luo Yu could speak, Lin said, "Lizhang, there are only two sisters left in the second branch. We are really worried about them. Let them go to our place. This way, my mother-in-law and I can take care of them and you don't have to worry about them. The second branch couple will probably resent us if they know that we didn't care about them after they left. Let us take care of them, which will also give your brother and sister-in-law some comfort."

Luo Yu knew Lin's plan and was about to refuse. The village head looked at the sincere affection between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and said, "I can rest assured with you taking care of me. So Luo Yu, you can stay with the eldest wife!"

Luo Yu wanted to say something else, but her grandmother came to her side and held her back, signaling her not to speak. The village head comforted her, "Go, it's okay, it's better to have an adult with you."

Luo Yu had no choice but to agree. The village head turned and left. Seeing the village head walking away, Luo Wangshi and Luo Linshi ignored Luo Yu and her sister, and went straight to the warehouse. Seeing the abundant surplus food in the warehouse, Linshi smiled happily because it was hers. Wangshi went to other rooms in Luo Yu's house and began to search for valuables. She found a few pieces of silver and put them in her own pocket. Then she said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so little? You dare to hide your private money."

In fact, Luo Yu's family didn't get anything. This house was an unwanted big house. There was a main room, two small secondary rooms, a kitchen and a small room for storing farm tools and crops.

Originally, Luo Yu's grandparents lived in the main house. They only had two sons, Luo Yong and Luo Lin, in their lifetime. The two secondary houses were occupied by Luo Yong and Luo Lin after they got married. The family lived very crowded. After they made money, they built a large house next door with many rooms. However, Luo Yu's mother was not good at flattering Wang, and gave birth to a daughter with Luo Yu as the first child, which made Wang very unhappy. Lin was good at trying to please Wang, and gave birth to Luo Chong in the first year after she got married. Wang loved this grandson very much.

So after the new house was built, Wang, under the instigation of Lin, did not care about the idea of ​​"don't divide the family while the parents are alive", and simply took the eldest wife to live there. Luo Lin knew what kind of people his parents were, greedy for cheapness and harshly treated their daughter-in-law, and despised their daughter, so he agreed to protect his family. However, the two elders of the Luo family asked Luo Lin to give them two taels of silver and one serving of refined rice every year as pension on the grounds of dividing the family, otherwise Luo Wang would seek death, insult Luo Yu's mother every day, and destroy her reputation. In order to keep his ears clean, Luo Lin reluctantly agreed.

Every year after the autumn harvest, she would go to the town to find some odd jobs to supplement the family income. After finishing the farm work at home, she would go to help the eldest wife. Whenever there was something good at home, Luo Wang would always come and take it away.

Therefore, Luo Yu's family lived a very poor life. Fortunately, Luo Lin knew how to farm and had a good harvest every year. He gave money and food to the two elders, so the family was able to have enough food and clothing.

When Luo Yu's mother gave birth to Luo Ci again, Luo Wangshi bullied Luo Yu's mother even more severely. She thought that Luo Yu's mother could not give birth to a son. When Luo Lin was not at home, she would beat and scold her for no reason. Even the two sisters became thorns in her eyes.

Growing up, Luo Yu and Luo Ci had never received any love from their grandparents, only abuse and slander, so much so that Luo Ci was very afraid of Luo Wangshi, and would hide whenever she saw them, which also made Luo Wangshi dissatisfied, thinking that they were petty. She would always snatch away any good food and give it to Luo Chong.

After giving birth to Luo Chong, the eldest grandson that Wang was very pleased with, Luo Lin gave birth to her younger sister Luo Fang and younger son Luo Cheng, which made her even more loved by Wang.

After collecting all the valuables from Luo Yu's house, Luo Wang came out and saw Luo Yu and her sister standing in the yard. She was even more angry and said, "You unlucky money-loser, why don't you go home to wash clothes and cook? I've been exhausted these past two days."

Luo Yu did not dare to stop, and pulled his sister to follow the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the main room. After Luo Yu's parents left, the three brothers and sisters of Luo Chong should have worn mourning in front of the coffin, but Wang was reluctant and thought it was unlucky, so she let them stay at home.

Luo Fang was unhappy to see Luo Yu coming up, because Luo Yu and her two sisters were prettier than her, and she always ridiculed, beat and scolded Luo Yu.
