"Viola is a girl, she has suffered away from ho for eighteen years, so, I gave her slightly more. As elder brothers, you should rember to protect your sister. Don't let anyone bully our Thompson girl."
"..."
"Flowers bloom and wither in their own season, every ending is but a new beginning, I am just guarding you all in a different way. Children, don't be sad or upset. I am truly blessed to have your companionship during the last journey of my life."
When the letter was finished reading, Sawyer was already in tears.
His voice hoarse.
The people kneeling on the ground were also weeping bitterly.
After a while, Sawyer cald down, looked at Brandon, and continued speaking, "You inform Bob, let him co back for grandmother's funeral. To see her off for the last ti."
If Mrs. Thompson ntioned Bob, they should certainly inform Bob.
But what everyone didn't know was that..
After returning to the Thompson household, Mrs. Thompson secretly visited Bob without revealing herself.
After all, he is the descendant of the Thompsons, and seeing as how Bob has sincerely repented, Mrs. Thompson, after thoughtful consideration decided to divide a portion of the property for him.
"Ok." Brandon nodded.
Afterward, Sawyer looked at Samuel, "You go to Uron City."
Mrs. Thompson has many old friends in Uron City.
They must be inford of her last journey in life.
"Sure."
Sawyer then looked at Harry, "Harry, you go to River City. The matriarch of the Sherman family was a long-ti friend of your grandma. It's essential to personally inform her."
As Myron is still young, he is temporarily not assigned any tasks.
Evan and Evan, the two brothers, pay a visit back to their old ho, informing relatives there to co to mourn.
Sawyer needs to stay at ho, playing host to guests coming to pay their condolences.
At that mont, Sawyer seed to rember sothing, "Viola, notify Terrence."
Mrs. Thompson was fairly satisfied with Terrence Lentz before she passed away.
After all, he passed all the layers of tests set by Mrs. Thompson.
"Um."
Viola's eyes were swollen red, she nodded, "Uh-huh."
This was the first year Bob spent the New Year alone outside.
Family mbers of the Thompsons used to spend New Year's Eve together.
Alone.
It was quite lonely.
But he couldn't bla anyone, these were the consequences of his own actions.
Just as Bob was sullen, a doorbell rang in the air.
Bob walked over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he was stunned.
The visitor was actually Brandon.
He did not expect, in his lifeti, to see Brandon again.
Bob was astonished, stuttered a bit, "Bi-Big Brother..."
Brandon appeared travel-weary, there was no other expression on his face, his eyes were slightly red, "Grandmother has passed away, co ho with ."
Passed away?
Bob was left in a daze.
How, how could this happen?
For a mont, Bob added: "Wasn't grandmother's operation quite successful? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Brandon was montarily startled, "You visited grandmother?"
This was unexpected.
He had thought that Bob had lost his conscience, not expecting that Bob had secretly visited Mrs. Thompson.
"Yes, I did." Bob nodded.
After saying this, Bob hastened to ask: "Big brother, you're, you're not joking, right?"
On the day Mrs. Thompson was discharged from the hospital, he had secretly visited her.
Mrs. Thompson was in high spirits, she was even able to kick the rolling stones on the path as she was walking.
He did not expect...
He did not expect things would turn out like this.
Brandon sighed, "Co back with first."
Bob's eyes imdiately turned red, he quickly packed, changed his clothes, and followed Brandon to return ho.
At this ti, all the couplets and window flowers at the Thompson's had been torn down.
They were replaced with mourning banners and white lanterns.
The air was shrouded in a layer of sorrow.
According to the tradition in Capital City, when a person above eighty years old passes away, it is called 'happy mourning'.
Mrs. Thompson was ninety-three this year, it was a 'happy mourning' of 'happy mourning', so she was kept at ho for three days to entertain guests.
They also had to invite a Taoist priest to perform rituals.
See the date.
Mrs. Thompson's morial hall was set up in the guest pavilion, the old lady laid peacefully in the ice coffin, a faint smile on her lips, her appearance serene.
Viola was kneeling there, burning joss paper.
There was no expression on her face, but she was shrouded in sorrow, it was heartbreaking to see.
It was only after seeing the mourning hall that Bob dared to believe the truth; he rushed in crying, "Grandma, grandma..."
