"This is my grandmother's funeral. I only want her to rest in peace. If you don't intend to pay your last respects to her, get out of here!"
"Look at how arrogant she's become after studying for a few years more than us!
"Although Dan is not very smart, he is a man of good character!
"He doesn't mind you being old and ugly when you are already 26 years old. I'm afraid you can't find any other man who is willing to marry you."
I ignored the sarcastic shouts behind me.
With a serious face, I dragged myself to look at my grandmother's body.
She was sleeping so peacefully.
There was still a gentle smile on her lips.
But I knew from then on, she could no longer protect me.
I thought my younger brother, Will, would be more sensible after he got married and was about to become a father.
Thus, I called him and told him that I didn't have time to fool around with my parents.
Will apologized guiltily that it was all his fault for not handling his wife well.
He urged me to go home so that he could sincerely apologize to me.
However, I got home and opened the door, only to see Amy and her family sitting there.
My parents had even prepared a hearty meal to entertain them.
