Chapter 217 Burying my uncle
"I think the forest behind is good. If we hide there, the rotten meat will turn into flower mud and nourish the land in the future. So we can choose a location there. But remember to dig two graves when you bury them. When your wife and children are well, I will go to accompany your uncle."
Aunt Mu Shao's words surprised the two of them. They ran up to her and spoke to her in a comforting manner.
"Aunt, don't say that. Although my uncle has left, we are still here. We will treat you like our mother and be filial to you. Don't do such stupid things!"
"You saved my life. If I hadn't promised him before, I would have followed him when I knew he was gone. I am still alive now only because I promised to keep your wife and children safe. This is already fulfilling your uncle's wish, so don't try to persuade me anymore. You can't persuade me."
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Pei Zisu, and then explained.
"This is what the young lady said before. She wanted your uncle to name the two children. Your uncle has been thinking about it for several months and finally picked these two from a number of names. So the daughter will be named Pei Weilai and the son will be named Pei Weijue."
Pei Zisu nodded. He felt that what his wife did was absolutely right.
After all, if it weren't for Uncle Han, where would they have these two children? So it was appropriate for him to name them. Moreover, these two names have excellent meanings, which he might not have been able to come up with himself, so he accepted them sincerely.
Then he looked at Aunt Mushao, his worry was evident in his eyes, but Mushao was very calm and just gave them instructions.
"Don't waste time here. Find someone to take your uncle away and bury him. Don't make a big fuss. He doesn't like things that are ostentatious. Just remember what I said and dig two graves."
The two of them had no children, so naturally Pei Zisu had to take care of their affairs after their death. He looked at Aunt Mushao with sorrow. He had not seen his aunt many times since he was a child with his mother, but he also knew that she was a person who kept her word, so he was afraid that he could not persuade her. So for now, I hope that the appearance of the child can arouse some interest in her life. But if it cannot be changed in the end, he can only send Aunt Mushao away.
So he went to arrange these things personally, and before he left he specifically asked a question.
"Aunt, do you have any powerful medicine? Ah Nian gave birth to these two children, and I don't want her to suffer like this anymore. It doesn't matter if you give it to me or her, as long as it can get rid of our heir once and for all."
"After her body has been adjusted, there won't be any major problems with her future fertility. Are you sure you don't want to have children in the future?"
"No, no, no, why have so many children? Too many children will make the mother suffer, and in the end it is still Anian who suffers. Besides, it is a blessing from heaven that we have these two children now. I want to live a good life with her in the future, and I don't want to have more children to distract her attention from me."
Aunt Mushao naturally knew what kind of strong sense of possession one would have when loving someone to the extreme, so when she heard this, she didn't think there was anything wrong and said it to him.
"It's simple. I only need a few days to prepare it. But once you take it, there is no turning back. You have made up your mind, but have you asked your wife? So if you want it, I will give it to you, but she should come to me and ask for the medicine herself. If she doesn't want to have children anymore like you do, then I will give it to her."
After listening to this, Pei Zisu felt that what Aunt Mu Shao said made sense. Although his original intention was good, he still had to get her opinion. But if she disagreed, it didn't matter. Anyway, he had already eaten it and it would be impossible for him to have other children in the future, so it didn't matter whether it would succeed or not.
Pei Ziyao soon brought people to collect the body. Uncle Han's body was hidden in a well-preserved grave on the back mountain. The location just faced the Pei family army's camp, and the Pei family army's flag could be vaguely seen, so Aunt Mu Shao was very satisfied with this location.
She took a look at the words on the tombstone, then smiled and said.
"Don't be afraid. I'll come find you when I'm done with my work. You won't be alone."
Then he sprinkled some medicinal powder around, and soon the powder was integrated into the soil.
Both the brother and sister were a little confused, and Aunt Mushao explained.
"This powder is to prevent poisonous insects, snakes and ants from attacking your uncle, but it only lasts for a year. When I enter this place, I won't have to spread these things anymore. Your uncle and I can merge into the flower mud and make some contributions to this land. I can say that I have no regrets in this life."
After explaining all this, Aunt Mushao gently wiped Uncle Han's tombstone again, then turned and left without looking back.
The Pei siblings bowed three times to Uncle Han and left as well. When they returned to the cabin, it was just daybreak.
It was time for the two children to feed, one was Liuhua and the other was Luoluo. She held them and fed them the dried goat milk with a spoon. The two children seemed to have tasted some sweetness, so they were enjoying the food with their little mouths smacking.
Seeing this, Pei Zisu's heart melted, and Pei Ziyao also found it magical and said something.
"We adults find some things hard to swallow, but they enjoy eating them. It seems that children are easier to deceive. They don't know what tastes like, so they think what's in front of them is the best."
Aunt Mushao had examined the two children in detail before, and the results were of course good. The two children were born at full term, so although they are smaller than ordinary babies, they do not look too thin. As long as they are taken good care of, they will be no different from ordinary children after the confinement period.
Then she glanced at Liuhua and said to her.
"I see that you are a thoughtful person. For just one year, you should stay with me and learn how to take care of your young mistress and children. If they have any problems in the future, you will be able to handle them simply. Do you understand?"
Liuhua was a little surprised when her name was suddenly called, but when she thought about the troubles that the young lady and the children might encounter in the future, she immediately nodded and spoke with a serious expression and a bit of excitement.
"If Madam Han is willing to teach me, I will definitely learn well and will never let Madam and my brothers and sisters get hurt!"
The green ivy next to her didn't seem jealous at all. She just pondered for a while and came up with an idea of her own.
