Luo Aiguo alleviates his guilt this way, merely to make himself feel better; how will he get through the days ahead after his mother died in such a manner?
"What about Qin Hongmei?" Beisitian asked.
Mrs. Qin sighed, "That day, the eldest reported it to the police; someone from the station came and took her away. I suppose she's going to be sentenced."
Once someone enters the police station, their life is over; Qin Hongmei might spend the rest of her life in prison.
Her downfall isn't the worst part; her son Luo Xuqiang will be judged by others for life. The one who should feel most burdened is Luo Aiguo, whose mother was killed by his wife; he reported it to the police and sent his wife to prison, and his son will be talked about for a lifetime.
According to custom here, one must be buried before sunrise on the third day. In summer, days are long, so by five o'clock the sky is already bright, and usually, a black umbrella is carried during the funeral.
