Chapter 353 Women's Heart (No. 18, Update 5)
Annie listened to Xue Xiaobao's words and couldn't laugh or cry. She didn't understand the relationship between Xue Xiaobao and this fat man. Unexpectedly, she had the intention to bully the female ghost.
Xue Tianqi also came. Since he knew that persuasion was useless, he had to sit aside and guard Meng Pangzi.
Annie was also honest with the fourth uncle, without saying a word, listening to Xue Xiaobao tell the story of him and Meng Fatty.
Xue Tianqi can't listen to it anymore. What is this? He asked, "Xiaobao, how to arrange the funeral? Should we follow our rules or pull it to the crematorium?
Our rules in Xue Tianqi's mouth refer to the customs of our country.
Funeral: The hall is full of white, and it is necessary to pay tribute in advance, commonly known as "burning incense". First children and grandchildren, then relatives and friends burn incense and kowtow according to the size of the generation. After the memorial service, children, grandchildren, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law will kneel in front of the coffin for a meal, commonly known as "food (money) rice". When cooking, you should invite one or two people who are "good luck and blessed" to host the wine and serve the rice. The wine is served twice, and the amount of the rice is less. Eat whatever you want and eat a little in each bowl. The host wants to say some auspicious words. At the funeral, filial sons and grandchildren should wear coarse linen clothes, straw shoes, tie straw ropes, and hold filial piety sticks. The funeral team is led by the soul bamboo, and this person is responsible for throwing the guide paper. Then there are banners, spiritual cards, bands, sacrifice axes, wreaths, funeral relatives and friends, coffins, and descendants. At the entrance of the village's diplomatic passage (out of the city and market town) "Xie Xiao", the filial son and filial wife knelt down and kowtowed to the funeral relatives and friends. After Xie Xiao, his filial son and grandson helped the coffin to the grave, threw straw shoes, filial piety sticks, wreaths, etc. on the grave, and participated in the construction of the grave. After the tomb is built, there is a custom of cheering and scattering grain and rice.
Xue Xiaobao said, "He is a peanut, not suitable for big things."
The so-called peanut refers to a person who is not married and has no future. According to the early rules, even wreaths cannot be used.
There is a saying in old age that if a man doesn't have a family, he is not an adult. As for unfilial piety, there are also points.
Xue Tianqi nodded and said, "Then look at this matter..."
"I read the scriptures for him, and then..." Xue Xiaobao said, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Annie and said, "We pay attention to the fallen leaves to return to the root. I don't want to see Meng Fatty's bones gone."
"No bones? What do you mean?" Annie was puzzled.
"It's to leave a whole body for Meng Pangzi." Xue Xiaobao said.
"Do you want to transport the fat man's body back to China?" Annie exclaimed.
"Of course, if you don't agree, I'll drive him back." Xue Xiaobao's attitude is very clear. If the United States disagrees, he intends to drive Meng Pangzi home with the art of driving corpses.
Xue Tianqi coughed and said, "You are nonsense. This is the United States. How can you drive him back?"
"Anyway, I have a way." Xue Xiaobao said stubbornly.
Anne's eyes widened and looked at Xue Xiaobao in disbelief. She remembered the ghost story that her grandfather told him when she was a child. She had heard a lot about the story of the corpse driver. She used to believe it, but when she grew up, she no longer believed in those superstitious stories. Today, when she heard the conversation between Xue Xiaobao and the fourth uncle, she was shocked.
"Brother Xiaobao, are you the legendary corpse driver?" Annie said in surprise.
"What's so surprising about driving corpses? I really don't know." Xue Xiaobao squeezed out.
Annie looked at Xue Xiaobao admiringly. The more she looked at Xue Xiaobao, the more she felt that he was very mysterious. No wonder so many girls liked him. So handsome!
"Brother Xiaobao, you drive the fat man home. I'll take care of you all the way." Annie wanted to see the corpse driving technique with her own eyes, so she looked forward to looking at Xue Xiaobao.
Xue Xiaobao was stunned when he heard the words, then rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "You save it."
Xue Tianqi sighed again and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll discuss it with my second uncle later. You deal with him first."
The treatment mentioned by Xue Tianqi is to embalm the corpse. This process is not suitable for girls to watch. But Annie didn't want to go out, so Xue Xiaobao had to do it in front of her.
"During my practice, no matter what happens, don't make noise. Don't come near me, can you hear me clearly?" Xue Xiaobao told Anne.
"I heard it." Annie nodded excitedly, with a look of anticipation.
Xue Xiaobao took out a small bottle from his clothes, this kind of antiseptic. A must-have for driving corpses. Taoists know more or less about the art of Xuanhuang and the medicinal materials, otherwise they can't practice the elixir.
When Xue Xiaobao applied it, he was extremely careful. The facial features are the most important. While applying, Xue Xiaobao suddenly stopped.
"I don't believe it now. He hasn't completely finished his breath. The first seven hasn't passed yet. I have to wait until his ghost comes back. I'm doing it." Xue Xiaobao said and took the medicine bottle back again.
Seeing this, Annie was like a deflated ball and was extremely disappointed.
"I said, the wizard will arrive tomorrow, and you won't listen." Xue Tianqi said helplessly.
"Fourth uncle, in the current situation of Fatty Meng, not to mention the wizard, even if my master comes, it may not be able to save him. I am now preparing the afterth of Meng Fatty in advance, so as not to be too hasty and treat him slowly. Xue Xiaobao explained.
"I understand what you mean, but what you are doing now is like Meng Pangzi is dead. Look what you did tonight. After tossing around all night, the room was decorated into a mourning hall. Xue Tianqi complained.
"There's nothing I can do. Now I can only do these things for Fatty Meng." Xue Xiaobao muttered.
"Okay, I'll be with you today." Xue Tianqi said, looked sideways at Annie and said, "Annie, go back to your room to rest first. You can't help staying here."
"Okay." Annie was very obedient and left with an answer.
As soon as Annie left, Xue Tianqi waved to Xue Xiaobao and motioned him to come and sit for a while.
"What's the matter?" Xue Xiaobao asked.
"That's all for this matter. Don't bother the second uncle." Xue Tianqi persuaded.
"What do I mean to cause trouble to the second master? This matter must not be done like this." There is no doubt about the firmness of Xue Xiaobao's tone.
"What's wrong with you... Why don't you listen to anyone? I think you're itchy." Xue Tianqi's face darkened and his tone was not good.
"Fourth uncle." Xue Xiaobao shouted and then said, "You taught me this. Brother, if you are in trouble, you have to help even if you are in great difficulties. I'm an upright man. How can I look at my brother miserable and indifferent?
As soon as this came out, Xue Tianqi was speechless and stopped talking.

At noon the next day. Anne received an invitation from John to meet at an upscale restaurant. When John saw Anne, he did not ask about David directly, but simply talked about it.
Since John didn't mention David, Annie naturally won't mention it. After chatting for a while, John turned around and asked, "Annie, you think about the two of us, don't you?"
"What?" Annie asked knowingly and pretended to be confused.
"I mean, I want to propose to you." John said this and thought of a shy boy, a little shy.
Annie was stunned, first happy, then sad and said sadly, "To tell you the truth, you are a step late. I met a man a few days ago, and he also proposed to me."
"You...you promised?" John asked nervously.
Annie hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.
When John saw this, his heart thumped and he couldn't scream. He lowered his head and was silent.
"John, actually I..." Annie opened her mouth to explain, but before she spoke, John interrupted, "Annie, don't say anything, I understand."
"You don't understand!" Annie suddenly shouted.
John raised his head, looked at Anne's charming eyes, and said, "You... you really didn't agree to him."
Annie devoured her fragrant lips and said very aggrievedly, "You, how can you think so? Although I chatted with him happily, you... What kind of woman am I in your heart? Humph!"
Annie said and left. This shocked John, so as not to be questioned by Anne. He couldn't help but feel guilty. I just suspected what Anne said, which was too rude.
He hurriedly chased after her. Before he could catch up with Anne, he heard Anne's aggrieved cry. John stopped and lost his mind for a moment. Then he thought about it, hurriedly caught up with Anne, grabbed her arm, and asked, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my offense."
Annie listened to him and then said, "Since you suspect me, I will simply promise David." After saying that, Annie ran away.
As soon as he said this, no matter how well John recuperated, his face turned into a pig liver. He hates that guy named David the most now. But things have come to this point, and he must find a way to remedy it. The only remedy is to let David quit.
John ordered his men to contact David and invite him to dinner and discuss it on the wine table.
David knows that the Mike family is difficult to make friends with such a big family. He was very puzzled when he didn't see it, but he still went.
John didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He came straight to the point and said, "I want to ask you to leave Annie." He said, putting a check in front of David.
David looked down and saw that it was only $200,000, and he sneered in his heart. Xin said: The Mike family is really stingy. They want me to quit for 200,000 yuan, which is too underestimated me.
"What if I don't answer?" David picked up the red wine and took a sip.
When John heard this, his face changed slightly and said coldly, "I think you know the consequences. I don't need to say more."
"Ha ha, John, 200,000 yuan just wants me to quit. You underestimate our family too much." David said, got up and was about to leave. The bodyguard beside John stopped him.
"What? Do you still want to do it?" David was very angry and let himself leave Anne for no reason, which was obviously a kind of contempt.
