Chapter 713: 713: A silent funeral ——2

Chapter 713: A silent funeral ——2" All right that is enough!" Madam Gu turned to glare at the crowd that was getting excited again and made sure to glare at Old man Tong for a second too long as she turned to look at the crowd and said, " Is this the time for you all to be acting like this? Hurry up and send your unmarried daughters and mers to prepare for the funeral since Yu Dong and her husbands can't do so."          

In their traditions, only the funerals of the elders were arranged by the people of the house but the funeral of a child could not be held by the elders of the house since it would be considered as unfilial on the part of the child if the elders were to prepare for the funeral. Even if Yu Dong and her husbands went home they could at most cover the mirrors and the holy scriptures with red clothes, other than that it must be left in the hands of those who were unmarried and young.    

" Brother Fu, pick some quick girls from the village along with some mers and bring them to Yu Dong's house, have them prepare for the funeral and Aunt Wang, come with me bring your daughters as well, we will go and help them in digging a spot for the grave," Madam Gu was thankful that the magistrate did not announce that her position has been taken away or else these villagers would not have listened to a thing that she has to say and with Yu Dong in such a condition, she would not be able to take hold of these rowdy villagers.      

As she spoke to the villagers she turned to look at Old man Tong who was pouting sullenly and said, " I have nothing to say to you, Old man Tong. But I hope that even if you are not going to the funeral then I hope that you will be respectful enough to not make too much noise in such a situation!"      

Old man Tong felt wronged but he did not say anything since he was not stupid at least not stupid to understand that at the moment he and his daughter were in the eyes of the villagers because of Qiu Bai that stupid mer. It was better for him to keep a close lid on his mouth as for this humiliation he will teach Yu Dong and the others a good lesson once he gets an opportunity!    

What Old man Tong did not know back then was that he will never get another opportunity like this in the future!    

Yu Dong returned to her house and just as Madam Gu said she could not do anything other than watch the young girls and mers do everything. Yu Mai was brought back from the house of the Wu family and he was given the majority of the tasks from cleaning his young niece and making her wear new clothes that Fang Chi has made for her.      

Yu Mai looked at his sleeping niece whom he was bathing and many times he wanted to ask why she was sleeping like this but every time he asked this question his brothers in law will start crying, in the end, he seemed to have understood that something happened to his niece just like his mother and daddy which was why he turned to his sister.    

" Is little niece going to where mother and daddy went?" He asked his sister whose eyes turned red and she crouched down and she placed her hand on top of his head while looking at Yu Mai who was tightly clutching the front of his shirt.      

Who said that this boy was slow? He was just as smart as everyone else.

"You are right, mother and daddy are too lonely which is why your little niece will go and accompany them." Yu Dong answered in a thick voice before urging Yu Mai to finish placing everything in the coffin that Ye Liu brought for their daughter.      

She wanted to wait for Fang Chi but with the poison in her daughter's body there was no way she could wait for Fang Chi to wake up and with him being pregnant he would not have been able to go to the graveyard anyway.    

A small gong was given to a child to play with while the house's entrance was covered in white cloth. There were no priests since elders were not invited to the funeral of a child who died before childbirth and the girls holding the coffin and Yu Mai carried little bun, both of them holding a silver bowl that held the gifts given by Magistrate Li and Marquis Qiao along with everyone else in the village.      

The girls were holding irises in their hands as they walked towards the graveyard while the elders walked in the front.      

Aunt Wang and Madam Gu were done digging a grave pit next to Mother Yu and her husband along with the husbands of Grandma Yu. They were waiting for Yu Dong and the others to arrive while standing on the side dressed in simple white clothes while Yu Dong and the rest wore black clothes.      

Grandma Yu was silently crying while supporting Grandma Fang who was breathless from all the sobs that she was trying to suppress, there were many times when she wanted to run back and take her granddaughter out of the coffin and try to wake her up. She did not want to believe that her granddaughter was gone and will never return —— but she was stopped by the others since as an elder she was not allowed to touch the coffin of a child.      

In the end, grandma Fang stopped after Grandma Yu tried to make her understand that she will be breaking the rules of the funeral for a child if she was to open the coffin.      

" My poor Chi, my poor granddaughter," Grandma Fang repeated for the hundredth time as she watched the girls lower the coffin in the grave that was too big for the small coffin.      

The married mers were not allowed to enter the graveyard which was why Yu Dong was the only one who stayed next to the grave watching Yu Mai and little bun place the silver bowls inside the grave pit and closed her eyes when the girls started to pour dirt in the grave with the hoe that they were holding as she breathed out and opened her eyes before raising her head and looking at the sky that was shining a bit too much as if mocking her.
