Chapter 396 Vigil
Funeral clothes are something that have always been worn by the dead.

Yao Yucui kept clamoring to wear such clothes and said that a bunch of deceased people would come to pick her up tonight. She herself might not think there was anything wrong with this, but others could feel that it was all very abnormal.

If not for this, Yuan Zhilong would not have called Yuan Xiuhua here.

Even if Jiang Yao hadn't suggested it, they would have stayed here tonight and would not have let Yao Yucui sleep alone in this room.

"Sister, Xiaoyao, you two stay here with mom for a while."

"Yufen and I will go and cook first. After dinner, we will stay here with mom and continue to watch."

Looking at Yao Yucui who was leaning against the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes and continuing to be in a daze, Yuan Zhilong sighed.

After saying hello to Yuan Xiuhua and her son, he took his wife Li Yufen and walked outside.

When Jiang Yao drove his mother here, it was already past five in the afternoon.

There was a slight delay at this moment. Although the night had not yet completely fallen, only a little afterglow of the setting sun was still shining on the earth.

Seeing Yuan Zhilong and his wife going over to cook, Yuan Xiuhua hurried here without having time to eat. She didn't say much, but just nodded slightly.

"Mom, are you hungry? Zhilong is going to make dinner. Wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

"what!"

"Mom, it's a little cold at night. I'll go downstairs and light a fire to warm you up."

"Ok!"

……

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yuan Xiuhua talked to Yao Yucui in a low voice.

But she was the one who basically did all the talking. Yao Yucui seemed confused most of the time and would only respond with one or two words occasionally.

A few steps away, Jiang Yao frowned, his mind spinning.

Compared with ordinary people, he knew a little more about some abnormal things, but when he encountered such things, his way of dealing with them was very simple, just rush forward.

But now, even though he knew that something was wrong with his grandmother Yao Yucui, he had no way to deal with it.

To be honest, my grandmother is already in her seventies and is not far from eighty.

For an old person of her age, even if she really passed away, it would be a happy funeral.

Jiang Yao himself is a short-lived person. He only has ten years left to live and can only live to his thirties. If his grandmother Yao Yucui is really dead, he can only watch and can do nothing.

However, even though he knew this, he still found it a little hard to accept emotionally.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!" Jiang Yao sighed and said to himself.

Yuan Zhilong and Li Yufen cooked two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes very quickly. In just over half an hour, the food was on the table.

With the help of Yuan Xiuhua, Yao Yucui also sat at the dining table.

The others were worried and had no appetite at all. Even Jiang Yao, who had always been a big eater, only ate a small bowl of rice and then put down his bowl and chopsticks.

On the contrary, Yao Yucui has a good appetite.

She used to only eat half a bowl of rice, but tonight she finished two large bowls of rice in a row, and her face looked rosy.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, my uncle Yuan Zhiping also came here.

"Xiaoyao, when we heard that you had killed someone and were wanted, your aunt and I were shocked."

"Fortunately, after all these years, you have finally cleared your name and restored your innocence."

"I heard from your mother that you seem to be doing very well in Hong Kong these years."

"We are all family. If you really want to find a good way to make money, don't forget me and your uncle."

"Our Yuan Wei is more than a year older than you. He's already thirty years old, and he's always been a worry."

"I gave him a motorcycle repair shop, but he was lazy and didn't do his job. He went to the teahouse next door every day to play cards. In less than a year, the shop closed. I finally found him a wife, but we divorced after just one or two years."

"Xiaoyao, you are doing well. How about letting Brother Wei follow you to do things?"

……

Grandma Yao Yucui had just finished dinner and lay down on the bed, she had fallen into a deep sleep. Uncle Yuan Zhiping, who had just arrived, came to Jiang Yao and chatted with him while he was warming himself by the fire.

Compared with my younger uncle Yuan Zhilong, the situation at my eldest uncle's house is much worse.

He is already in his fifties, but in order to make money, he still runs around construction sites around the county, carrying ash buckets and working as a laborer.

My aunt is also a typical rural woman. In addition to the small piece of land at home, she usually sets up a stall in the town to sell some fruits.

Yuan Wei, his cousin who is one year older than him, never does any serious work, but is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

One can imagine what the living conditions of a family like theirs are like.

"Uncle, Brother Wei may not be able to do what I do."

"If he is willing to correct his mistakes and do business honestly, I will definitely support him in this regard."

"When you have time, you can ask him if there is anything he wants to do?"

"It's the same with you, uncle. Hasn't Yuan Bing been working outside? If he wants to do something else after he stops working, I will also support him."

……

Jiang Yao frowned and thought for a while. He nodded and responded.

The relationship between his two uncles and his family has always been pretty good, so it naturally wouldn't be a big problem if he could help them.

Of course, that also depends on the improvement of Yuan Wei and Yuan Bing themselves.

If they really wanted to do some business, investing a few million in them would be a piece of cake for Jiang Yao. If they really encountered some force majeure and lost all their money, he would not feel bad.

Among relatives, being able to do this is already acceptable.

It's impossible for them to do nothing and Jiang Yao to spend money to support them!
"Xiaoyao, it's good that you are willing to support us. I will talk to Yuan Wei about it tomorrow." Yuan Zhiping said, nodding.

Although he was not very clear about Jiang Yao's specific situation, Yuan Xiuhua called him a few days ago and boasted to him that Jiang Yao was doing very well now and even a certain female celebrity followed him around every day like a follower.

If it weren't for this premise, he, as an elder, would not have come to Jiang Yao and kept complaining.

Compared with him, my uncle Yuan Zhilong is much calmer.

Hearing Jiang Yao's promise, he turned around and smiled while whispering with Yuan Xiuhua: "Our little soldier has just turned 18. At his age, he doesn't know anything. It's okay for him to work in the factory, but let's forget about it if he wants to do business."

"Let him train in the factory for a few years first. When he's more mature, if he wants to do something, it won't be too late for you to help him, Xiaoyao."

Although his youngest son, Yuan Bing, was not well educated, Yuan Zhilong was still quite satisfied with him.

As for his daughter Yuan Lingling, he deliberately ignored her at this moment, and even Jiang Yao did not mention this name at all.

Time passed little by little as we chatted.

They were preparing to take a short break. Yuan Xiuhua and Li Yufen, who were on duty for the second half of the night, fell asleep before nine o'clock.

Uncle Yuan Zhiping stayed up until twelve o'clock and could no longer hold on. After saying goodbye to Yuan Zhilong and Jiang Yao, he left and returned home.

A little more charcoal was added, and the charcoal fire in the brazier was burning vigorously.

This type of self-built house in the countryside has a relatively large space and is surrounded by open space. There is naturally no risk of poisoning when burning charcoal or making a fire in such an environment.

On the wooden bed next to them, grandma Yao Yucui was sleeping soundly. My uncle Yuan Zhilong, who had been busy all day, was sitting upright, but his eyelids had already begun to fight.

Jiang Yao was in high spirits. He looked left and right. Feeling a little bored, he simply circulated his Qi and blood and tried to start practicing.

Immersed in cultivation, suddenly, a cold wind blew, and he felt a chill in his heart, and he was suddenly awakened.

Jiang Yao raised his wrist and looked at the time. Before he knew it, it was already past one in the morning.

His uncle Yuan Zhilong, who was sitting next to him, had his head resting on the fire table at some point, and was snoring evenly from time to time.

On the other side, on the wooden bed, the quilt had been turned over, and grandma Yao Yucui, who had been curled up inside and sleeping soundly, had disappeared. No one knew where she had gone!

"Uncle, get up quickly!"

"Where's grandma? She was lying on the bed just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Jiang Yao jumped up with a start in his heart, and while speaking, he pushed his uncle Yuan Zhilong hard.
