13 Mingke Street

Chapter 65 Seeing God

Malmö's deputy director came to the Inmores family with his "Wofuci" camera and took photos of the two welfare guests. Then he left with a notebook given by Uncle Mason with a tip, smiling happily."So, what should we do next?" Aunt Winnie asked the people present.Karen spoke up at this time: "Since someone unknown has given money, let's just do it. It's not immoral to help the deceased be buried in better conditions."Then, Karen pointed to the body of the male magician: "As for him, just send him to be cremated."

Actually, it would be more appropriate to feed the magician's body to the dogs;But throwing a body in the city is not only immoral, but also easily leads to negative consequences. This is why all major civilizations have developed customs and traditions for handling bodies, not just for religious reasons, but also because not properly handling bodies can easily damage the environment and even lead to epidemics.Since he's already dead, let's just cremate him.Karen pointed at Mandira and said, "As for her, since someone is willing to pay for her, please have Auntie prepare a suitable coffin from the basement for her to use directly. Also, Uncle, please go and make some connections now to secure a plot in the cemetery.And also, since the person paying is anonymous, there's no need for a funeral. And since her identity is still unknown, it's unlikely that any relatives or friends will come.Oh, right, her name is written in the letter, Mandira. Uncle, remember to add it to the tombstone."After saying all this, Karen, ignoring the fact that Dias was still standing there in his priest's clothes, directly imitated his tone and said to everyone:"In short, everything is to satisfy the guest's needs."Aunt Winnie nodded and said, "Okay." Then she shouted, "Alfred, Ron, go to the basement and bring out the orange-red coffin for her burial."Usually, there are two or three cheaper coffins prepared at home, while luxurious coffins are usually custom-made.

Uncle Mason said, "Then I'll call Paul and have him bring his hearse to take the man directly to the crematorium. We'll take her to the cemetery to prepare for the burial." As for using connections, Uncle Mason didn't say anything because he didn't see any problem with it. About half an hour later, Paul arrived in the old-fashioned hearse from the Inmores family. "Sir, Mr. and Young Master." Paul greeted the Inmores family as usual. "Sir, Mr. and Young Master." Paul's father-in-law, who came with him, followed suit and greeted everyone. Paul's father-in-law used to work in a coffin factory and was a very simple old man. Next, Paul and his father-in-law worked together to load the magician's body onto the hearse and drove away. As for the welfare money, it was not much profit for the Inmores family, but for the already thin profit of the crematorium, it was not something they could give up. Next, Alfred and Ron together put Mandyra's coffin on the hearse. "Karen, are you going too?" Uncle Mason asked in confusion.

"Yes.""Okay then."The hearse started and headed to the cemetery.Uncle Mason quickly took care of everything and bought a grave plot at the lowest price.During the burial, Uncle Mason wondered why their father didn't come.Because in a normal burial, regardless of the price, Dis would stand here as a priest and guide everyone in the final mourning ceremony.Karen understood why her grandfather didn't come, because she was here.After the soil was filled, Karen reached out and touched the tombstone:From now on, you can rest in peace and won't be cold anymore.After the burial, Karen and the others got on the hearse and headed back home.

At the doorstep, Karen saw a black "Tyr" sedan parked there, which was considered a relatively cheap car.There is no designated parking lot on Mingke Street, because it is all villas and townhouses with a small plot ratio. Therefore, cars can be parked freely at the doorstep without blocking traffic. As a result, the roads in front of each house are basically "private parking spaces" for each family.If there are other cars parked at the doorstep, it usually means that there are visitors.Uncle Mason looked at the black "Tyr" and spat on the ground:"Phew!"Obviously, Uncle Mason knew who had come.After everyone entered the living room, Karen also knew who had come to visit. He was Winnie's ex-husband and also the biological father of his cousin, Chris.Uncle Dis has always been very concerned about the education of his family;His deceased father followed the path of the church and joined the church early, but he was also a graduate of an excellent church university.Uncle Mason and Aunt Winnie both studied finance and were top students at the business school.

Uncle Mason also had a glamorous experience in the financial workplace, but in the end, he lost everything and had to return to Mingke Street with his wife and children in a dejected manner. Aunt Winnie met her ex-husband during college and they quickly fell in love. They helped him open a small clothing factory, which according to Aunt Mary, was funded by Winnie's own savings. As a top student, she worked as an accountant in the factory for many years to support her husband's business. The ending was a bit cliché - they claimed to have relationship problems, but in reality, Aunt Winnie discovered her husband's affair and, being a strong-willed person, she chose to leave with her daughter and return to her parents' home. In the living room, Aunt Winnie sat on the sofa with a cold expression. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man with a flashy appearance was kneeling beside the sofa, begging and crying to Aunt Winnie. In fact, you can tell a lot about a person's character from their appearance, as long as they put effort into their appearance. For example, Uncle Mason's attire was taken care of by Aunt Mary - it was dignified and elegant, a typical representation of a harmonious family. On the other hand, Alfred's constantly changing suits reflected his pursuit of perfection and self-obsession. As for the former uncle in front of them, his attire was a bit inappropriate for his age - lacking the maturity that a man of his age should have, and still chasing after the so-called "chic" and "gorgeous" style. Humans are social animals, and social customs and habits tend to label everyone.

For men, being called "handsome" or "good-looking" at Karen's age is indeed a compliment. But when Karen is almost thirty years old and still being called "handsome", it proves that at this age, there are no other noteworthy qualities, and it actually has a hint of sarcasm."Parker, get out of here, now!"Seeing her brother and nephew come back, Aunt Winnie couldn't stand her ex-husband's harassment anymore."I won't leave, I regret it, Winnie. I realized that you are the one I truly love, I can't live without you. And also, Chris, I am her father, she can't grow up without a father's love, right?""You must have gotten into debt outside." Uncle Mason sneered, "A friend told me recently that my ex-brother-in-law's factory was mortgaged, so now you want to come back and let my sister continue to support you?""No, second brother, how can you say that about me? I didn't come back to Winnie because of money, but because of some recent events that made me realize that the people I can't live without are Winnie and my daughter, Chris. I made mistakes in the past, but now I realize my mistakes and I will change. I will turn over a new leaf and be a good father for Winnie and Chris.""Parker, you are shameless." Winnie stood up and pointed at her ex-husband's face in anger."I don't want a father like you." Chris suddenly appeared at the living room door, with Mina and Lunt standing next to her. They had already finished school and took the tram back home.

"Kris, oh my dear daughter, I love you. Come, let father give you a hug."Parker walked towards Kris.Kris showed a clear disgust towards her father and even cursed directly:"Why don't you just die!"For a little girl to say such "dirty words" shows that her hatred and disappointment towards her father had reached its peak.Because she knew how many nights her mother had cried after returning to her grandfather's house for these few years;After all, Aunt Winnie had chosen "love" and stayed with Parker, even breaking ties with her brother, Dis.But when the marriage failed, she had to come back and seek her father's help for the sake of her livelihood and her daughter's future.Unlike Uncle Mason, who had a "thick-skinned" nature,who could loudly proclaim: My father, you are getting old and I am worried about your health, so I have brought my wife and children to pay respects to you.

Aunt Winnie is a very traditional person, and because of this, she bears more pressure in her heart.When her own parents divorced, Chris was already old enough to remember, so she clearly remembers how the woman her father found came to their house and humiliated her and her mother, and how her father's face lit up with a clear smile when her mother said she only wanted their daughter and not any property.At home, she has always envied Mina and Lunt for having such a good father.Yes, although Uncle Mason had failed in his career, he had always been a good father and elder at home, even Karen thought so.Hearing her daughter cursing at her, Karen noticed a hint of anger in Parker's eyes, but he continued to pretend that family was the most important thing and went to hug Chris.Chris hid behind Karen, and Karen looked at Parker, not moving.Just as Parker was about to push Karen away, Alfred stepped in and grabbed Parker's wrist, and Parker struggled but couldn't break free."Parker, please leave, and don't ever appear in front of me and Chris again, you only make us feel disgusted!" Aunt Winnie pointed outside and almost roared.Karen spoke up, "Get out!"

"You..."Alfred lifted Parker, a man who was not short in stature but looked like a little chicken in front of Alfred.However, without any clear instructions, Alfred only brought Parker to the gate and let him go, without making any other movements.After all, he was considered a former member of the family.As the host of the emotional segment of "Rojia Story Club", how could Alfred not understand the points to pay attention to?Didn't he see that Ron had been silent and motionless the whole time? If the other party hadn't walked directly towards Karen, Alfred would have quietly watched from the side.Family matters are not suitable for outsiders to intervene.Parker, who was brought outside, could only return to his car with a dejected expression. When he started the car, he silently cursed:"Shameless w***e, disobedient bastard!"Unfortunately, Alfred could read lips.

After he came back to the living room, he stood next to Karen and retold the story.Karen nodded....After about half an hour.Aunt Winnie came out of the study, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried, but she was wiping her tears with the back of her hand while smiling, obviously, after speaking her heart and apologizing to her father, she received his forgiveness;No, her father has always been infinitely forgiving towards her, she received his understanding.After Aunt Winnie went downstairs, Karen walked out of the bedroom.

Lying on the windowsill, Pu'er opened his mouth and said, "The Inmoleis family has always had a tradition of valuing family and love. This is true for Dis, your parents, Mason and Mary, and even Winnie, poor Winnie."As an old great aunt, Pu'er had also worried about her niece, Karen.Seeing that Karen didn't respond, Pu'er quickly added, "But Karen, I have confidence in you. You will treat Eunice well, right?""I believe she is a smart girl. Oh no, I shouldn't say that. Actually, I hope she is a foolish little girl who only admires your handsomeness and blindly follows you. Sometimes, being too smart can be a problem.""You can go find Alfred," Karen said."Huh? Why would I do that?""Let him invite you as a special guest on the radio to analyze emotional problems. After all, the listeners in front of the radio won't know that the host is a cat.""But I've never been married, or even been in a relationship.""It's okay, people like you are usually the most knowledgeable when it comes to discussing relationships."

"Um... Although I feel like you're mocking me, I also think what you said makes a lot of sense."Puer jumped off the windowsill,"I'm going to find that radio fairy."Puer walked towards the stairs with light and graceful cat steps, as if she had suddenly found a new direction in her cat life.Karen had to remind her, "Alfred is not home right now.""Oh." Puer turned around with a disappointed expression, "That's unfortunate.""But you can use tonight to prepare your speech." Karen pointed to her bedroom, "There's paper and pen on the desk, feel free to use them.""Great suggestion."Puer walked into Karen's bedroom and jumped onto the desk.Since the door was open, Karen could clearly see the black cat sitting on top of the paper, with its face turned at a 45-degree angle towards the desolate outside, motionless like a statue.

Karen saw this and gently knocked on the bedroom door.Pu'er said, "Don't disturb me, I'm brewing my emotions.""Hmm?""If the emotions are not in place, the words written will have no soul.""Okay, keep it up."Karen helped Pu'er close the door to prevent the outside air from disturbing its thoughts;Then, Karen walked to the door of Dis's study and knocked."Come in."Walking into Dis's study, Karen saw Dis wearing a white sweater."Oh my, is this the new sweater that Aunt Mary bought for you, Grandpa? The color and style are really suitable for you. The designer of this sweater should be on the cover of a fashion magazine."

Dis glanced at Karen and said, "It was knitted by your aunt.""Hmm? It's actually from my aunt, that's unexpected. I don't think she should show favoritism, she should knit something for her nephew as well."Dis knew that Karen had known who gave him the sweater a long time ago, and Karen also knew that Dis knew that she knew.It's like how Karen would sometimes flatter him for no reason, and then wait for Dis to say something simple and shut her down.Well, Karen knew that Dis liked this feeling, after all, Pu'er had once said that in terms of speaking style, she was exactly like a young Dis.Since Dis liked it, she would take the initiative to set the stage, after all, it was to show filial piety to her own grandfather."Winnie apologized to me for insisting on being with that man in the past.""There's no need to apologize, Grandfather can't blame Aunt. But now, Aunt can find peace in her heart.""Yes." Dis nodded, "The Winnie before marriage was actually very outgoing."This, Pu'er had told her before, about her aunt who was crazy in love and rebelled against the feudal patriarchal system.

"Grandpa, Parker came today," Karen reminded with a useless remark.Because he knew that as long as Dis was at home, he could see everything that happened in this house."I know he came, but I don't want to see him."Dis looked at Karen, a hint of a smile on his lips.The temperaments of the grandfather and grandson were too similar, and their way of communicating often did not allow for any small talk or beating around the bush. The initial teasing and choking were just to break the ice.So, sometimes, useless remarks can also be useful."I always thought it was Winnie's own business. Regardless, he was her ex-husband and also Chris's biological father.""Aunt said she never wants to see him again. Chris asked him today why he hasn't died yet.""That's just their angry words. You should understand that a woman's angry words don't count."Karen shook her head.

* (Dào):"Grandfather, I am not very smart and easily believe others. Whatever they say, I will believe." "We have no right to interfere in other people's lives, do we?" Di Si asked. "Grandfather, are you not angry?" Karen asked. That night, Di Si took matters into his own hands and dealt with Mr. Moerfu, the editor-in-chief, and many others. Karen didn't think Di Si was a kind person, or perhaps his kindness was only reserved for his family. So, it was really lucky that Parker, who had abandoned his daughter, could still be alive now. "Of course I am angry, but I still believe that as a father, one should not do extreme things." "But, excluding today, you still have five days left." "The matter between him and Winnie should be left for Winnie and Chris to decide whether to forgive him. Maybe in a year, five years, or even after Chris grows up, gets married, and has her own children, things might change, don't you think?" "You promised me that you won't die in five days, but I am also curious if you have the confidence to live long enough to see Chris get married and even have your great-grandchild."

Dis pointed to the top of his head and said, "Even if Clarice is unwilling to forgive her father, his sins should be judged by the gods in the sky, not by us in the name of family to vent our own anger.""Yes, Grandfather, you are right."Karen nodded vigorously and continued, "So, I have already sent Alfred to take him to meet the gods in the sky."
