After sending off the old man, Luo Qiao and the others stayed in this courtyard until the day before the forty-ninth day.
Several families flew to Chongqing the day before the mourning ceremony to meet with others and pay respects at the old man's grave. The children cried with deep sorrow, and Luo Qiao's eyes were red from crying as well.
If he had been bedridden with an illness, allowing everyone to take care of him for a while, giving everyone time to prepare mentally, maybe their state of mind would be different. After all, everyone has such a day. But the old man didn't burden anyone for a single day; he just left quietly like that.
After returning to Capital City from Chongqing, Gu Qianru fell ill and had to receive IV drips at the hospital for several days. Every day, her daughters-in-law would bring the children along to accompany her, making all the other patients envious.
Everyone said that Gu Qianru was fortunate.
