Chapter 291 Paula's First Cry
One teacher even poured her a cup of hot water and sighed.

After crying for a while, Deshan sobbed and said, "Eldest sister asked us to take the last bus."

Li Renyong looked at his watch and said, "There's still time, let's go."

……

When they arrived at the bus stop, Deok-sun and Bora had a fight.

Because Deok-sun didn't see Bora sad, there was not even any sign of her crying.

When Paula bought coffee with a smile, Deok-sun completely exploded.

She has always liked her grandmother and can't stand it.

"You are not worthy of being grandma's granddaughter."

Paula's smile faded.

She came in front of Deok-sun and raised her hand, and everyone thought Bora was going to hit someone.

Even Deok-sun subconsciously made an evasive move.

Who knew that Paula just gently touched Deshan's hair and said, "I don't want this to happen either."

Next, the four people sat in the waiting area and no one spoke.

Li Renyong understands Paula very well.

As the eldest brother, I shoulder a heavy responsibility.

Whether it's notifying messages or preparing clothes, or there are still many things that need to be done.

She couldn't express her emotions as freely as others.

However, she was also experiencing great grief in her heart.

She needs to stay strong around her younger siblings.

Li Renyong carried two handbags and said, "The car is here, let's go."

night.

Paula patted Yuhui's arm and said, "Go to sleep quickly. Gucheng is still far away."

Yu Hui nodded but said nothing.

At this time, Deok-sun was still crying, with tears falling intermittently.

Paula stood up, walked to Deok-sun and took the bag from her feet.

This way, Deshan will have more space to move her legs and feet and will be more comfortable.

The night was deeper.

The bus was bumping along the road, and the atmosphere inside seemed a little quiet and dull.

Deshan and Yuhui leaned on their seats and fell asleep.

Li Renyong asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

Paula opened her eyes and said, "Not yet."

"You should be very sad."

Paula smiled and said, "I don't."

"Don't hold it in. Just cry if you want to. Deshan and Yuhui are asleep. No one will see you cry except me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Paula's eyes turned red.

There were tears in his eyes, his mouth was tight and his hands were trembling slightly.

She is trying hard to control her emotions and not let her sadness overflow.

Li Renyong sighed, stretched out his hands and put his arms around Paula's shoulders.

He didn't say anything, but used actions to tell her that he would accompany her silently.

No matter what happens, I will be there for her.

Feeling Li Renyong's actions, Paula could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Renyong looked down at Paula, his eyes full of concern and tenderness.

Paula buried her face in Li Renyong's shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She covered her mouth and tried her best to suppress her crying, for fear that others would hear her.

His shoulders were shaking, revealing his inner pain and helplessness.

Li Renyong stroked her hair and said, "Cry."

At this moment, Deok-sun suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her.

She never thought that her sister had this side.

The slight unpleasantness I felt at the station suddenly disappeared.

Because Paula had her back to her, she didn't notice.

Li Renyong put his hand in front of his mouth, signaling her not to say anything.

Deok Sun nodded and continued to close her eyes to prepare for sleep.

It took a long time before Paula left Li Renyong's shoulder.

"Thank you, Ayong."

Li Renyong took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her tears.

"Don't say thank you to me anymore. Drink some water. It would be bad if Deok Sun saw you crying."

Paula took out some makeup from her bag and covered her red eyes.

…There was a white lantern hanging in front of Jin Yingyu’s house with the words “Jin Diao” written on it, indicating that there was a funeral in the family.

The four of them stood at the door in silence.

Looking at everything in front of them, Deshan and Yuhui couldn't hold back their tears.

Paula walked up to the two of them and looked at them quietly.

Deshan whispered, "I know. I won't cry."

Paula wiped the tears from her face and said, "Are you sadder than Abba?"

Deshan shook his head.

"Don't cry, the son has to comfort his father, right?"

Li Renyong hugged Yu Hui and said, "Brother-in-law, stop crying. The more you cry, the uglier you will become."

Hearing this, Paula gave him a displeased look.

Yu Hui was stunned.

Sadness and anger kept lingering in my heart, which was very awkward.

"Come in quickly, I can hear all kinds of laughter in there."

Deshan retorted: "Impossible, how can anyone laugh at something like this."

Li Renyong shrugged and said, "I didn't say that. I heard it. It was inside."

Paula stood aside and said, "Let's go in."

This is a quadrangle-structured house with a yard in the middle covered with a white tent.

Just like the cafeteria, it is full of laughter.

Some people kept serving food like waiters, and some people kept talking and laughing loudly while eating.

There were even two children running around and playing.

Looking at everything in front of her, Deok-sun didn't know what to say.

Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable.

Li Renyong held Paula's hand and said, "We haven't eaten yet, let's go eat first."

"Is this a funeral? Why does it feel like a wedding?"

“This is grandma’s house.”

"Paula, you're here, come and have dinner. Yong, why are you here too?"

Li Yihua was wearing all black and holding bowls and chopsticks in both hands.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "It's such a big deal, I'm coming over."

Li Yihua did not give any special care to those people, and even spoke to Li Renyong in a hurry.

With so many people, and without a dedicated cook, everything depends on the family members to take care of the food.

Soon, the dining table was set.

Among the four people, only Li Renyong and Yu Hui ate the most.

I don’t know why, but the food at the table tastes better than the food at home.

After Yuhui finished his soup, Deshan handed his soup to Yuhui.

"Deshan, no matter how sad you are, you still have to eat."

Deshan shook his head and said nothing.

She still couldn't believe it. How could her grandmother's funeral turn out like this?
"If you don't eat it, then I will."

After Li Renyong finished speaking, he poured the rice in Deshan's bowl into his own bowl.

The bowls here are about one-third smaller than those at home, and one bowl of rice is not enough to fill you up.

"Why are you trying to steal Deok-sun's rice?"

After saying this, Paula served Deok-sun another bowl.

"Eat a little, or you'll be weak."

Deshan asked with red eyes: "Where is Dad? I seem to only see the aunts."

Two fat women in black were talking in the room.

It seems to be about the topic of knee pain due to kneeling for too long.

Paula turned around and looked around, but didn't see Sung Dong-il.

"Dad, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Renyong smiled and said, "How could Uncle Cheng be uncomfortable? Look over there, he's the one laughing the loudest."

Yu Hui said, "Impossible, this is my father's mother's funeral."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Dongri's voice was heard.

"Paula and Ayong, come here quickly."

Li Renyong lowered his head and said softly, "I'm right, right?"

The three people's faces suddenly turned ugly. As Ayong said, Cheng Dongri could hardly hide the smile on his face.

He laughs the loudest.

Deshan said pitifully: "Dad..."

Coming to Cheng Dongri's side, the three of them knelt on the ground, and Li Renyong sat cross-legged.
