Chapter 241 The Curse of the Jia Family
"Uncle, you are back?"
While He Daqing and Qin Huairu were looking at each other, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
The couple turned their heads and saw Yan Bugui and Qian Yongmei just walking out of the house.
However, both of them had white cloth tied around their arms.
Usually this situation means that someone has died!
This……
Seeing this scene, He Daqing suddenly realized something.
"Hey, uncle, you don't know..."
While He Daqing was stunned, Yan Bugui and his wife had already walked over.
Yan Bugui sighed,
"On the second day of the Chinese New Year, I don't know what happened, but Jia Dongxu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly woke up and clamored to eat meat."
"At first, Jia Zhang thought that Jia Dongxu was just making a fuss, but soon she found out that Jia Dongxu was not making a fuss, he had really returned to normal and was able to communicate with her directly, which made Jia Zhang very happy!"
"Then, Jia Zhang took her family's food coupons and wanted to go out and exchange them for some chicken. As you know, Jia Dongxu has loved eating chicken since he was a child..."
He Daqing and Qin Huairu were completely confused.
Jia Dongxu has been paralyzed in a wheelchair for so many years. After receiving a shock, he has been in a daze. Now he has woken up. Isn’t it a good thing?
Why...are you wearing a white cloth?
Yan Bugui continued,
"Who could have imagined that Jia Zhang went to buy chicken legs happily, but when she came back, she found that Jia Dongxu had committed suicide by hanging himself on the beam in their house!"
"what?"
He Daqing widened his eyes, and was a little unable to react for a moment.
Jia Dongxu had just woken up the previous second, which was a good thing worth celebrating. How come he suddenly hanged himself the next second?
What...is going on?
Qian Yongmei, who was standing nearby, looked around and said to He Daqing,
"Uncle, the neighbors all said that Jia Dongxu woke up and found that his legs and feet could not move. His condition is not good now. Moreover, Jia Zhang gave birth to a younger brother for him. He was worried that he would be a burden to his family, so he hanged himself..."
He Daqing, "..."
According to the original plot, in 65, Huaihua was three years old. When Huaihua was just born, Jia Dongxu died in an accident at the steel rolling mill. In other words, he passed away around 62.
He Daqing originally thought that the fate of the Jia family would change as he intercepted Qin Huairu.
But he never expected that Jia Dongxu, after waking up, would eventually hang himself.
Perhaps, it was God's will that Jia Dongxu was destined to die young.
Thinking of this, He Daqing couldn't help but look at Qin Huairu who was standing beside him. If it weren't for him, Qin Huairu would have to remain a widow.
At this time, Qin Huairu obviously thought of something and her face turned pale.
Thinking back to when the matchmaker introduced her to a potential partner, he praised the Jia family's financial conditions a lot. It must be said that the Jia family's financial conditions were indeed good, and it was really a high-class marriage for a villager like her to marry into this family.
But Qin Huairu never expected that Jia Dongxu's fate would be so tragic.
He broke his leg a few years ago, and later became a fool. Now he finally wakes up, but on New Year's Day, he chose to hang himself...
This man is too fragile in his heart.
If I had married him at the beginning, how would I have lived in the future?
Qin Huairu shuddered at the thought of this.
"Uncle, look at this..."
Yan Bugui and Qian Yongmei both looked at He Daqing.
He Daqing is the eldest uncle in the courtyard. Because the incident happened suddenly, He Daqing went to Qinjia Bay. Originally, Yan Bugui was planning to go there to preside over the funeral. Now that He Daqing is back, naturally He Daqing has the final say.
"Death is the greatest thing. The orphans and widows of the Jia family are really pitiful!"
He Daqing sighed helplessly and said to Yan Bugui,
"I'm not in a position to handle this matter, Old Yan. I'll leave it to you and Old Liu. Everyone, please help if you can. Take care of Jia Dongxu's funeral!"
"In fact, it's good that Dongxu is gone. At least the pressure on Jia Zhang is reduced."
Hearing this, Yan Bugui and his wife nodded.
Although what He Daqing said was a bit harsh, it was the truth.
Over the years, Jia Dongxu has been a great burden to Jia Zhangshi. Now there is a famine. For the Jia family, it may be a good thing that Jia Dongxu is gone.
As they were talking, a group of people walked towards the central courtyard.
However, they saw that a mourning tent had been set up at the gate of the Jia family, and Jia Zhang was kneeling there, crying heartbrokenly.
Many neighbors were standing in the yard, shaking their heads and sighing.
During the Chinese New Year, other families have a big reunion, but the Jia family is the only one who knows what curse it has been cursed with, but nothing good happens every Chinese New Year.
"A great uncle, a great uncle is coming!"
Everyone noticed He Daqing and his family and came over to pay their respects.
"Ah."
He Daqing nodded to everyone, thinking that he was the eldest uncle in the courtyard after all, and even if the funeral was handed over to Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, he still had to go through the formalities.
Thinking of this, he pulled Qin Huairu to Jia Dongxu's coffin. The couple took two incense sticks and lit them for Jia Dongxu.
"Dongxu, have a safe journey. Just go with peace of mind. Huairu, I am here with you. She will enjoy happiness with me for the rest of her life."
Looking at the coffin in front of him, He Daqing sighed silently in his heart.
Yes, Qin Huairu followed Jia Dongxu, but not only did she not expect any blessings, but under the influence of Jia Zhang, she became a selfish woman and ruined He Yuzhu's life.
It’s different now. Jia Dongxu had to die, and Qin Huairu has become his wife and has given birth to two children for him.
The house and the outside are tidy and neat. Such a good woman should be put to good use. It is a bit of a waste for her to marry into the Jia family.
"Dongxu, my poor Dongxu!"
Jia Zhang, who was kneeling beside them, didn't know why, but when she saw He Daqing and Qin Huairu standing here hand in hand, she felt particularly uncomfortable.
Originally, in her mind, if Jia Dongxu got married and had a few children, she would be able to live a happy old age.
But I never expected that over the years, my life would become more and more miserable.
Not only did he not find his son and daughter-in-law, but he also broke his leg. He has been acting stupid and foolish these years and has been laughed at a lot.
She had finally remarried a man, but Accountant Xu left without even seeing his child.
And now, Jia Dongxu is gone, and Banggeng is the only relative he has left.
But what about He Daqing's family? Their lives are getting better and better, and their popularity is growing. The two families are obviously next to each other, but one is in heaven and the other is underground. How can she not be sad?
(I remember one winter when I was a kid, a neighbor’s grandfather with a broken leg passed away in this way.)
