"Yes, Dad, what has happened?"
"How could such a big thing happen, and you didn't tell me and Yupan earlier?"
As the Zhang Family's son-in-law, and with the deceased being his wife's aunt, Erniu naturally felt a sense of regret.
But at the same time, Erniu was even less able to understand Zhang Guoqiang's actions.
This was a major event in the family, someone's death, which should have been communicated over the phone right away, shouldn't it? Yet his father-in-law had waited until they were inside the house before he was willing to speak, inevitably making Erniu feel a sense of strangeness.
It was as if it were something unspeakable.
With a worried and pained expression, Zhang Guoqiang said, "This mourning, I also called you back quietly, and I never thought to make a big deal of the funeral in the village. Moreover, neither of you two can disclose it."
"Dad, but why?" Erniu and Zhang Yupan both suddenly became puzzled.
