Qin Wenshu had accompanied her back, and he looked around the dusty little courtyard.
"Auntie, you should get a room at the guest house for the night," he advised. "This place is a mess, and you’ll be able to get some proper rest there."
Mrs. Fu shook her head. "No, it’s fine. I can make do here for one night. You should head back and get some sleep."
Seeing he couldn’t convince her, Qin Wenshu said, "In that case, I’ll help you clean, Auntie—"
How could Mrs. Fu let him clean? "Oh, really, there’s no need. I’ll just tidy up my room a bit. It won’t take long. You go on and get some sleep. I’ll need your help with some other things tomorrow, so come see me then."
"Auntie, why don’t you move Uncle’s grave to Beijing City? I can contact my family tomorrow and have them arrange for a burial plot—"
"No, that won’t be necessary," Mrs. Fu refused outright. "I’ll find someone tomorrow to arrange for a new plot myself."
At first, she had considered moving the ashes to Beijing City for convenience.
But her mind had changed during the long train ride.
Especially now, stepping foot in this town again, she felt that when her time came, she too should be buried here.
Even if it would be inconvenient for Mingxue to visit her grave in the future, it didn’t matter.
’When that day comes, I’ll just have to be a bit more frugal in the afterlife.’
That way, Mingxue wouldn’t need to come and pay respects at their graves every year.
Seeing this, Qin Wenshu didn’t press the issue.
"Alright then, Auntie, I’ll be going now."
Mrs. Fu nodded.
After watching him leave, she closed the main gate.
Cleaning up was straightforward. She did a quick sweep, laid out some bedding, and went to sleep.
The next day, Mrs. Fu woke up early.
She was up early, so she gave the house another, more thorough cleaning.
When she opened the door, she was startled to see Fu Mingya standing right on her doorstep.
