Lin Zhen couldn't help but cursed the old traitor in his heart, "You are not honest even before death."
It's weird.
Is it okay if Qin Huairu doesn't take care of you? He's much better than Liu Guangtian.
Why did you push Qin Huairu out before he died? Was he confused?
It seems that your words were addressed to You Fengxia and to Qin Huairu.
In fact, he was telling the people in the room that he wanted to give the inheritance to Qin Huairu openly?
Let You Fengxia and Qin Huairu be at odds?
What are you thinking about if you don't want peace in the courtyard before you die?
Lin Zhen did not know that Qin Huairu forced Yi Zhonghai to sign a will.
Smiling slightly, he didn't care about Yi Zhonghai's words. He just had a side card and would follow whoever came.
Be it Yi Zhonghai or Qin Huairu, you can dance around as you please.
Qin Huairu's expression changed and she immediately said: "Uncle Yi, you are confused. What are you talking about? Haven't you arranged the house affairs a long time ago? Stop talking and have a good rest."
Lin Zhen said: "Uncle Yi, don't worry. As long as I am here, no one can bully Fengxia and Aunt Yi. After you leave, Fengxia will be the head of the east house of the courtyard. Who wants to bully an orphan and a widowed mother to steal the house?"
Yes, you have to go through me first, whether it is me, Xiao'e or Yuhua, they will support Fengxia and Aunt Yi."
Lin Zhen didn't mention the Jia family at all, but instead expressed his attitude towards You Fengxia.
It is equivalent to explicitly saying that he will arrange a house and property for Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Lin Zhen turned and left.
Qin Huairu hurriedly chased him out to explain.
But Lin Zhen had already run to the front yard and left on his bicycle.
Qin Huairu looked at Lin Zhen's back disappearing into the dark night, and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "Yes, you are indeed a great man. You even treated me as a favor before leaving."
After Lin Zhen arrived at the train station and waited for a while, You Fengxia left the station.
"Brother, how long have you been waiting?"
"I just got here. Here, put on your coat. It's cold."
"Well, how is my dad here?"
"That's enough. Let's talk about it when we go back."
"Where's my mother?"
"She's fine, except that she feels a little uncomfortable."
"Huh~ That's good, let's go back quickly."
Lin Zhen hung You Fengxia's luggage on the front handle, let You Fengxia sit in the back, and rushed all the way to the courtyard.
At half past ten, they returned to the courtyard.
There were lights on in the courtyard, there was a lot of noise, and there were sounds of crying.
Lin Zhen frowned, wondering if Yi Zhonghai was dead?
Sure enough, when they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that Aunt No. 1 was crying bitterly. Yi Zhonghai did not wait for You Fengxia to come back.
Or maybe he had no intention of forcing himself to see You Fengxia for the last time.
Not long after Lin Zhen left, his bed became cold.
Now they have been taken away by the staff of the funeral home. The second uncle Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Bugui, Chang Laosi and Lao Qi, the first four older ones, followed him.
The women and old ladies were all in the house trying to persuade Auntie.
As soon as You Fengxia walked in, her nose felt sore.
She has been in the capital for so long, Aunt Yi has always treated her as her own daughter without any selfish motives.
You Fengxia is only 14 years old now, and her character has not been biased by the original plot.
Know what kindness is and what family affection is.
Although she is not related by blood to Aunt Yi, she already has a close relationship with Aunt Yi.
"mom!……"
You Fengxia cried out heartbrokenly. Aunt Yi looked up and was even more broken down.
Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After they cried for a while, Lin Zhen advised: "Aunt Yi, I am sorry and accept the change. The deceased has passed away, but the living are like this. Fengxia will take good care of you in the future."
You Fengxia wiped her tears and said, "Mom, you must pay attention to your health. My neighbors will help with Dad's funeral. You can't be too sad and break your body from crying."
Aunt Yi wiped her tears and looked at You Fengxia, feeling unspeakably moved.
She is even more grateful to Lin Zhen for finding her such a good daughter.
"Well, Mom listens to you."
You Fengxia then said to everyone in the room: "Uncles, uncles, neighbors, aunts, sisters and sisters-in-law, I would like to ask you to help me with my dad's funeral. I will definitely keep your help in mind and repay it."
.”
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone.
You Fengxia's actions made Qin Huairu blush instantly.
After Yi Zhonghai died, she stayed with Aunt Yi.
On the surface, he was advising Aunt Yi to express condolences, but in fact, he was just monitoring her.
I was afraid that Aunt One would say that she would give all the house and property to You Fengxia, and that Aunt One would change her mind immediately after Yi Zhonghai's death.
But You Fengxia didn't mention the house or family property at all after she came back.
You Fengxia's true feelings for Aunt Yi and her concern for Yi Zhonghai's future affairs are really what a girl should do, and she is more talkative than Qin Huairu.
Only then did Qin Huairu realize her shortcomings and immediately said: "Fengxia, don't worry. Uncle Yi said before he left that he asked me to take good care of you and Aunt Yi. Uncle Yi's business is my dad's business.
I will help take care of it."
You Fengxia nodded and said: "Thank you, Sister Qin, you have worked hard these days."
Then he turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Brother, I will trouble you about the handover of my father's work."
Lin Zhen said: "Don't worry about it, I will take care of it for you."
"Well, it doesn't matter how much the funeral costs. It's all up to you. You have the final say. When the time comes, my parents in the south will come over and pay for it. They won't spend a penny from my mother here."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads and praised You Fengxia for her ability to do things.
After Yi Zhonghai died, You Fengxia immediately became the head of the family.
He handles things in an orderly manner, not like a 14-year-old child at all.
She didn't care what Qin Huairu said about taking care of herself and Aunt Yi.
She only listened to Lin Zhen, and from now on she would be the owner of the east door of the middle courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai's funeral was held three days later. The location was at the funeral parlor. After the memorial service, he went directly to the cemetery.
Not many people actually came to express condolences.
Since he was notorious before his death, only a few old people in alleys and courtyards came to pay their respects.
The sub-district office sent Xiao Wu over, and the steel rolling mill sent Er Chen, the foreman of fitter and lathe technicians, to come over. The two representatives sent over their elegiac couplets and left.
Yi Zhonghai's funeral was not as grand as Jia Dongxu's.
When Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu's natal family came quite a lot, and people from the steel rolling mill, street office, and alleys also went to pay their respects.
Yi Zhonghai's funeral was much more deserted. Before eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone who was supposed to come came and he was buried in a hurry.
The dead have passed away, and the living have passed away.
After returning to the courtyard, Aunt Yi's mood slowly recovered, and the courtyard gradually calmed down.
In the afternoon, He Yuyu made a special trip to the detention center and told Sha Zhu about Yi Zhonghai's death.
After hearing this, Shazhu was stunned.
"This...this...this..."
"Brother, do you think he doesn't deserve to die?"
Silly Zhu nodded, "My original intention was to embarrass him after I went out. I really didn't want to curse him to death. Alas, why do you think he is so impatient?"
He Yuyu sighed: "How should I put it? He actually asked for it. Aunt Jia also suffered from the sequelae of a stroke. But since then, no matter how much trouble she made, she never really got angry. You see, this is still alive."
Do you have to be fine?"
Silly Zhu sighed, "Uncle Yi is also too temperamental. When he first suffered a stroke, the doctor asked him to stay in the hospital. He had to fight with Aunt Jia that night. It was supposed to be like that, so don't care about reputation.
, but he is still fighting for fame and fortune, alas, I can’t see through it..."
He Yuyu said: "Not only that, when our dad came back, he not only refused to apologize, but also wrote a letter of report, trying to arrest our dad. Thanks to Director Zhao, he didn't pursue the case. Do you think he suffered a loss?
I don’t think it’s a bad idea.”
Silly Zhu frowned and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, the deceased is the most important, it's all over, let's not mention him anymore. I really can't accept this for a while. By the way, how is Qin Huairu doing recently?"
He Yuyu smiled slightly: "Don't you ask Fei Biao and his wife? Are you just thinking about Sister Qin?"
"Don't make fun of your brother. Haven't I had time to ask? How is Fei Biao doing lately?"
"It's all good, but you worry about it after talking too much. Forget it, I'll go back and you behave well. After he is released from prison, Fei Biao will be over a year old. Maybe he can walk and call him daddy."
Silly Zhu chuckled, "Okay, this is a good thing, if nothing else, let's stop here. Anyway, I can't make your marriage a family. If you talk too much, you should be angry again."
He Yuyu smiled slightly, "I will come to see you once a month from now on. When you accept Chen Zhiguo, I will bring him with me."
"If you say that, don't bring him here until the day I am released from prison!"
"Tch! Just like whoever wants to come!"
…………
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the weather in the capital is getting colder day by day.
It has been extremely cold this year, and the moat is so frozen that you can ride a bicycle on it.
It's even colder when sleeping at night.
Regardless of whether it is a courtyard house in the city or in the countryside, there are not many families who can actually have several kangs.
If there are many people in the family, some may not be able to sleep on the kang at night, so they can only put a thick layer of hay under the mattress.
Wealthy families light up the stoves, while poor families have no choice but to resist.
It's relatively better in the city, and the working class can light the stove almost at night, but carbon monoxide poisoning comes with it.
That night, not long after Lin Zhen fell asleep, he heard the third uncle in the front yard suddenly shouting.
"Help!"
Lin Zhen suddenly woke up and sat up.
Lou Xiao'e was drowsily asleep when she was woken up by the cry.
"Ah! It's so late at night, what's wrong with Mr. San?"
"Don't come out. It's cold outside. I'll put on my clothes and go out to take a look."
When Lin Zhen arrived at Uncle San's house, he couldn't help but want to laugh and feel sorry for him.
Yan Jiecheng was patting the front and back of the third aunt, while Yu Li was sweeping the floor in the room while holding her nose.
Yan Bugui was breathing in the fresh air by the door, while Yan Jiefang lay on the bed and vomited loudly.
He vomited so much that Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi followed suit.
Yu Li frowned and said, "Jie Fang! Can you go to the door and vomit? I just wiped you and vomited again."
"Sigh...sister-in-law, I have a terrible headache, please just suffer more..."
When Yan Jiecheng saw that it was Lin Zhen who was coming, he said happily: "Quick, quick, quick, Lin Zhen, please help my mother give her a massage. She's poisoned by gas. It's all because my dad closed the windows too tightly. He's still a primary school teacher. I
I don’t know what he thinks!”
Yan Bugui's face turned red.
"There is a stove in the house, but if you leave the windows open, isn't that a waste of briquettes? No amount of briquettes can warm the house!"
