Subconsciously, Tang Yun still thought Gu Xiyue was here for Gu Bo's funeral. "Are you back for Gu Bo's funeral? But he was buried this morning."
Gu Bo died yesterday morning and was buried this morning.
Gu Bo's death wasn't sudden, but his funeral was hastily arranged.
Gu Bo's parents had fled a famine to come to Yueqi Village, and they died early, leaving only him as their son.
Those who attended the funeral were all villagers who came out of respect for Tang Yun, as Gu Bo didn't have a good reputation.
His ex-wife, Zhang Xiuli, wouldn't come to the funeral, and his eldest daughter, whom he had doted on and who had gone off with his ex-wife to be a stepdaughter in a wealthy family, did not return for the mourning either.
Gu Bo had three biological children and one adopted daughter.
In the end, only his youngest son was heartbroken and kept vigil for him.
It's hard to say whether he was more tragic or more pitiable.
