Chapter 872 Grandma Yue, I wish you happiness
Grandma Yue is gone.
When her hand dropped, Lu Yao caught it.
Looking at Grandma Yue's slightly raised lips and closed eyes, Lu Yao asked in a low voice, "Grandma Yue, your wife is here to pick you up, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two lines of tears rolled down his eyes.
It is said that relatives and loved ones will come to pick up people before they die. Is it the same for Grandma Yue?
Grandma Yue was unable to answer Lu Yao. Duan Mingjie hugged her shoulders and said, "Look at how happy Grandma Yue is smiling. I know she must be very happy now."
Lu Yao sniffed and hummed with sobs.
She turned her head and looked at Duan Mingjie, "Grandma Yue must be very happy."
Although the weather here is not as hot as in the capital, the corpse cannot be kept for long.
Upon hearing the news of Grandma Yue's passing, everyone else also rushed over.
Gu Fulan sat in front of Grandma Yue and cried loudly, while others also shed tears silently. Lu Yao held Grandma Yue's hand and sat beside her in silence.
Zheng Jiajia and Lu Susu were a little worried that Lu Yao was too sad, and looked at her from time to time. After a few times, they found that Lu Yao was not as sad as they imagined.
Lu Yao slowly stood up until Grandma Yue's body temperature gradually dissipated.
Zheng Jiajia hurried over and held her hand.
Lu Yao smiled at her and said, "I'm fine."
Zheng Jiajia looked at her and it seemed that she was indeed fine.
Duan Mingjie was talking to Duan Chengcai and Ren Zhe, probably discussing Grandma Yue's funeral arrangements.
Lu Yao walked towards them.
"Sister-in-law."
"sister in law."
Duan Chengcai and Ren Zhe greeted Lu Yao.
Lu Yao nodded slightly and said to them, "We will stay here, and you three can go around and look for flowers. Any flowers will do. When Grandma Yue is cremated, I want to place flowers all around her."
Grandma Yue loved beauty when she was alive, and she must have wanted to leave in a dignified way.
Ren Zhe: "Sister-in-law, you and Brother Duan wait here, we will go find him."
Zheng Jiajia: "I can also help find it."
Duan Mingjie: "Then go ahead, the three of you. Don't just look for it aimlessly. Ask the locals where they have it first. Pick as many as you can, and do it as quickly as possible."
Ren Zhe: "Okay."
After the three people left, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie began to prepare the site and tools for cremation.
Duan Mingjie bought a bed and a large pile of firewood locally.
Gu Fulan stared blankly at them as they prepared, "No, you really want to burn the old lady?"
Lu Yao squatted down to deal with the things on the ground. Duan Mingjie explained, "Mom, this is Grandma Yue's wish."
"She asked you to burn her to death, so you really did it. How could she be reborn after she turned to ashes? You burned her soul to ashes! You are harming her!"
Duan Mingjie frowned, "Mom, just don't worry about it."
"How could I just ignore it? We've lived together for such a long time, and the old lady is like one of my relatives. Can I just watch you two burn her to death?"
Duan Mingjie closed his eyes helplessly and pointed at the box next to Grandma Yue, "Mom, do you see the box next to it?"
Gu Fulan: "I saw it, what is that?"
"Those are her lover's ashes."
Gu Fulan was dumbfounded.
"This is the agreement between them. Before she died, Grandma Yue repeatedly told us that we must not ignore her wishes."
Gu Fulan was speechless.
Duan Mingjie: "Mom, if you really want Grandma Yue to pass away peacefully, just stay by her side and don't let any bugs crawl onto her."
Gu Fulan: "I know."
An hour and a half later, Ren Zhe and his friends came back with a cart full of flowers.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie also cleaned up the place.
Duan Mingjie placed the wooden bed in the middle and put hay and firewood underneath.
Firewood as high as the bed was placed around the wooden bed, and the flowers were placed on the firewood.
After tidying up everything, Duan Mingjie carried Grandma Yue over and put her on top.
At this moment, Grandma Yue looked as if she was surrounded by a sea of flowers, very beautiful.
Lu Yao smiled at Grandma Yue's body and said, "Grandma Yue, I wish you happiness."
Duan Mingjie picked up the torch and lit the hay below.
Soon Grandma Yue's body was engulfed in flames.
Duan Mingjie held Lu Yao's head with his big hands and let her lean on his arms.
Lu Yao grabbed the corner of Duan Mingjie's clothes, and her tears quickly wet the clothes on Duan Mingjie's chest.
Duan Mingjie stroked her hair gently and comforted her in a low voice.
Lu Yao put her arms around Duan Mingjie's waist, and her crying became louder and louder. Duan Mingjie did not stop her, but just kept hugging her.
The fire burned for a long time before it was over.
Duan Mingjie let go of Lu Yao and wiped away her tears. "Let Zheng Jiajia stay with you. I'll go over there for a while."
Zheng Jiajia hurried over.
Lu Yao: "I'm fine, I'll stay with you."
Nothing to be afraid of.
The couple sorted out Grandma Yue's ashes and put them in a box.
Lu Yao held it in both hands, "Grandma Yue, we will take you home."
They returned to the hotel. Lu Yao's family hadn't eaten lunch, so Ren Zhe took the rest of the people out to eat.
Lu Yao lay on the bed, looking at the roof.
Duan Mingjie came over and lay down beside her, hugging her sideways.
Lu Yao hugged his waist and got into his arms.
"Hubby, I always feel empty inside."
I know that people will leave when they get older, but I still feel sad when I think that I will never see Grandma Yue again.
