Chapter 216 Sell her to find a partner for my brother
Jiang Jinfeng took Song Jinshu to see two cemeteries that he thought were pretty good. Song Jinshu chose a cemetery with a quiet environment because she thought her father would like it.
After buying the cemetery, Jiang Jinfeng asked someone to calculate the date for moving the grave. The person said May 4th was a good day for moving the grave.
In order not to affect the relocation of his father's grave, Song Jinshu changed his duty date to May 1st.
For a unit like theirs, being on duty was nothing. Song Jinshu just sat quietly at his desk, thinking about his own things.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Song Jinshu saw that it was Jiang Rufeng calling, so he answered it immediately, "Brother!"
"Jinshu, where is it?"
Song Jinshu smiled and replied, "I'm on duty today, brother."
"Is it convenient to talk?" Jiang Rufeng asked.
Song Jinshu said it was convenient since she was the only one on duty in the entire office.
"I heard that you and Jinfeng are going to move Teacher Song's grave?"
Song Jinshu was stunned. "Yes, we will go back to move the grave on May 4th."
"I would like to ask, can I participate in the whole process?" Jiang Rufeng asked hesitantly.
Song Jinshu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She is a daughter, Jiang Jinfeng is a son-in-law, and Jiang Rufeng is a student. Can he participate in such a private matter as the relocation of graves?
Seeing that Song Jinshu didn't answer, Jiang Rufeng thought she didn't want to, so he smiled awkwardly, "If you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"No, big brother!" Song Jinshu said hurriedly, "I don't understand whether this kind of thing has any impact on people. If it does, it will be troublesome."
Jiang Rufeng laughed, "Normally, it won't have any impact. As long as you agree, I will go with you."
"Okay!" Song Jinshu agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Song Jinshu immediately called Jiang Jinfeng and told him about Jiang Rufeng's call.
Jiang Jinfeng hesitated for a moment before speaking, "If you think it's okay, I have no objection."
"If my eldest brother is willing to go, let him go! I don't know what the rules are anyway." Song Jinshu comforted himself, "I believe my father won't blame me."
Jiang Jinfeng smiled bitterly, "The person has already passed away, so there is no need to be surprised. If the information can really be passed on to the living, it would relieve the regrets of so many people!"
"Don't we need to go a day in advance?" Song Jinshu always felt that one day was too short. After all, the Feng Shui master also said that the burial time had to be accurate.
Jiang Jinfeng said, "Girl, the night is long and dreams are many! We will set out before dawn that day, so we will have enough time."
"But I always feel uneasy. What if someone stops us from moving the grave?" Song Jinshu didn't want to say it clearly, but she was really worried that her aunt would raise the price and make demands on them.
Jiang Jinfeng smiled and comforted his little wife, "I have thought of all the problems, and I will deal with them as they come!"
In the afternoon, he contacted Yang Guiyun privately and told her about his plan to relocate the grave of his father-in-law Song Chen.
"Mom, on the day we go, do you want to go back with me to see grandma?" After saying this, Jiang Jinfeng asked again.
Yang Guiyun did not answer immediately, she fell into deep thought.
She knew that although Song Chen was buried in his own land, he had nothing to do with that place. It was her father and brother who left him there because they appreciated that Song Chen was a good man.
But she herself hated that place very much, because her parents once wanted to sell her to get the dowry and wedding expenses for her younger brother to marry him off.
Over the years, she went back very few times. After Song Jinshu grew up, he went back to see her parents more often than she did.
But now Jiang Jinfeng asked her if she wanted to go back with him. On the one hand, he really wanted her to reconcile with her mother, and on the other hand, he also hoped that she could help with the relocation of Song Chen's grave.
"Does Jinshu know that you came to see me?" Yang Guiyun asked Jiang Jinfeng.
Jiang Jinfeng shook his head, "No. If you go with me, I will tell her before we leave; if you don't go with me, I won't tell her."
"You go back on the 4th, right? Then I'll give you news on the 3rd." Yang Guiyun still didn't make a decision immediately.
Jiang Jinfeng refilled her tea, "Mom, Jinshu and I went to see grandma a few days ago, and Jinshu mentioned that she wanted to move dad's grave. When grandma and aunt quarreled, grandma said she regretted selling you and marrying aunt back. Can I ask what the sale was all about?"
"It is common to favor sons over daughters in rural areas." Yang Guiyun answered the question evasively.
Jiang Jinfeng came prepared. He just wanted to know the truth. "You need a gift to marry off your daughter, and then give it to your son as a gift to marry him off. This situation was normal when you were young. The thing that has bothered you for so many years must not be that simple."
Looking up at her son-in-law, Yang Guiyun knew that she could no longer be perfunctory today, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, "Since you want to hear it so much, then I'll tell you!"
It turned out that Yang Guiyun was three years older than her brother. After graduating from junior high school, she worked as a waiter in a restaurant owned by a relative in the city. When she grew up, she worked as a waitress in a large restaurant in the county town and fell in love with a male waiter in the restaurant.
But the boy's family was too poor to afford the high bride price in their area, so Yang Guiyun's parents forced them to break up.
At that time, Yang Guiyun was thinking about finding a boyfriend whose family was better off and using the betrothal gift she received to propose marriage to her younger brother.
But the girl my brother dated asked for the highest betrothal gift in the area, which most families could not afford. His parents also thought it was too high, but my brother had chosen this girl and would die if he didn't prepare the betrothal gift.
In the end, their parents actually wanted to marry Yang Guiyun to a 40-year-old idiot. The two wives this idiot had married before had both committed suicide. It was said that they were all abused by this idiot and his family.
When she heard the news, Yang Guiyun couldn't believe it at all. She couldn't believe that her parents would be so foolish as to betray their own daughter like this.
But their parents cried in front of them and said that their younger brother would commit suicide if he could not marry this wife, as he was the only child in their Yang family.
Of course Yang Guiyun disagreed. She could marry a man of the same age whom she didn't love, but she couldn't marry a fool, especially a fool who might take her life.
But her parents told her that apart from this fool's family, no other family would be willing to pay such a high gift.
Her parents knelt down in tears and said that they could not let their son be unable to find a wife, and they could not let the Yang family be extinct.
Of course Yang Guiyun couldn't let it go. She could understand the preference for boys over girls, but she couldn't accept being pushed into the fire pit for her brother.
She wanted to escape secretly, but was stopped by her parents and locked at home.
But when she saw the fool, she fainted from anger.
