11-1 The funeral of the old lady

Half an hour later, the doctor came out of the emergency room, took off his mask and said, "We tried our best."

My aunt turned pale and murmured: "How is it possible? How is it possible? Mom, you can't just leave us like this."

Sisters Fang Fei and Yuan Lin looked at each other, unable to accept this result. It was said that grandma's condition had stabilized and she was basically out of danger. Why did she suddenly suffer a cerebral hemorrhage and leave?

The doctor sighed and left, and the nurse covered the remains of the old lady of the Yuan family with a white sheet. Yuan Lin grew up with his grandmother. When he saw this miserable scene, he collapsed on the spot and burst into tears.

, I hugged my little aunt and cried.

Fang Fei also cried. Grandma is a strict person. Although sometimes she is a bit more paternalistic, she always does it for the good of the family. Thinking of her grandma's voice and smile on weekdays, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

But now is not the time to cry. The patient has passed away and there are many procedures to be completed. Her parents and uncle are not here, and her aunt and sister are not the ones doing the work. Fang Fei can only carry it all. Fortunately, she also works in the medical system.

After all, these things were not unfamiliar. She called her mother and asked her to come to the hospital to see her grandma for the last time, but the other party turned off her phone. When she was about to call her father, she saw Vice President Fang rushing in.

"Dad, where's mom?" Fang Fei asked.

"Your mother... can't come for the time being. How is grandma doing?"

"Grandma is gone."

After a while of silence, Vice President Fang sighed, took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes: "Your grandma wanted to be strong in her whole life, but it's a pity that she left so hastily. Alas."

Vice-President Fang was very tired from busy work in the past two days, and his exhaustion was clearly visible. Fang Fei said distressedly: "Dad, please rest, let me take care of these things."

The nurse brought the death notice of the old lady and asked her family members to sign it. Unfortunately, both of the Yuan family's children were in jail at this time. There was no other way but granddaughter Fang Fei had to sign it on her behalf. After completing the relevant procedures, she changed into clothes for her grandma.

, and then sent to the hospital morgue.

Fang Fei accompanied her grandma on the last journey and sent the body to the morgue. As she was about to leave, she met a person head-on. Both of them were stunned.

"Captain Gu!"

"Xiao Fang!"

"Why are you here?"

In the morgue of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, she actually met Gu Xiuying, the captain of the Chinese medical team who also experienced the bloody storm in West Sadamoya. Fang Fei looked up and down Captain Gu, who was wearing white work clothes, and secretly wondered in her heart, Captain Gu is a surgical expert.

Why are you wearing a nurse's clothes?

Gu Xiuying saw Fang Fei's doubts and said with a smile: "My medical license has been revoked. The organization arranged for me to work in the morgue, which can be regarded as a kind of care."

She smiled openly, but Fang Fei felt uncomfortable in her heart: "Captain Gu, is it because of the incident with Mai Jiaxuan?"

Gu Xiuying shook her head noncommittally: "It's all over now, let's not mention it anymore. Anyway, I'm satisfied if I'm still working in the medical system. By the way, have you been transferred here?"

Fang Fei felt sad for a while: "No, my grandma passed away."

"I'm sorry." Gu Xiuying patted Fang Fei on the shoulder: "Be more open-minded. When we were in Africa, we experienced life and death a lot. Sometimes death is a kind of relief. By the way, how is your boyfriend?

"

"Fortunately, we were originally going to get married, but my grandma passed away, so I'm afraid it will be delayed again," Fang Fei said.

"Don't be bound by these worldly things. Only by nurturing new life can we continue hope." Gu Xiuying said a very philosophical word, and then sighed: "Okay, I have to work. You go up and stay here for a long time."

It’s not good.”

"Well, Captain Gu, take care." Fang Fei held Gu Xiuying's hand tightly and said.



Back in the ward, my grandma's belongings have been sorted out. Changes of clothes, urinals, toiletries, and her own small towels and quilts are all being thrown away. My aunt has cried enough and has returned to her former self. Her husband has been

The procuratorate detained her, and her eldest aunt was detained by Shuanggui. She was the oldest in the family. As for her brother-in-law who was the vice president of Jiangbei City, she didn't even look at her.

"Mom is gone. The Veteran Cadres Bureau needs to be notified. Mom's friendships during her lifetime need to be notified. There are also arrangements for the memorial service and the handling of the inheritance. In fact, I don't want to take care of these, but the eldest sister and Xiaojun are not here.

, I can only bite the bullet and do it." My aunt was acting like the head of the family at this time. In fact, the old lady was also a retired cadre at the deputy department level. The funeral was completely organized and responsible. My aunt couldn't think of anything else.

It's a matter of grabbing inheritance.

No one said anything. It was so complicated and complicated that everyone was confused.

Returning home in silence, my aunt began to sit at the table and make phone calls to contact relatives and friends. Two little sisters, Fang Fei and Yuan Lin, were packing their belongings in their grandma's room. Only Vice President Fang sat on the sofa in a daze.

The doorbell rang, and the aunt went over to open the door. She saw a few men in plain clothes standing outside. They politely showed their IDs to her. The aunt did not dare to stop them and let them into the living room. The aunt jumped up and shouted: "We are not here to search.

Have you passed, why are you coming again?"

The visitor said: "We are from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We are here to conduct investigation and evidence collection related to Yuan Zijun's serious disciplinary violation case. Please cooperate." After saying that, they started searching everywhere. My aunt shook her hands in anger: "Our old lady's body is not cold yet.

If you bully people like this, what's wrong with the Discipline Inspection Commission? I'm going to complain to your leader."

"Mom, stop talking." Yuan Lin stepped forward and grabbed his mother. My aunt stepped down, but still stared angrily at the Discipline Inspection Commission staff.

They obviously came to search after having accurate information. In less than five minutes, they seized a batch of foreign currencies and securities from the safe and under the floor, as well as a large number of LV, Gucci, Hermès, Prada, and Chanel.

, handbags, scarves, leather shoes, watches, perfumes, etc. from luxury brands such as Cartier.

My aunt's eyes were wide open. My eldest aunt always taught them to be low-key, but I didn't expect that she herself would be so extravagant. She even refused to buy some limited edition bags. Her eldest aunt's collection was simply amazing.

Luxury goods expo.

The people from the Discipline Inspection Commission left with their trophies, and the Yuan family fell into silence again. Everyone knew what those stolen goods meant. With Yuan Zijun's income alone, he would not be able to afford so many luxuries in his three lifetimes. Not only did Deputy Director Yuan have a complete career this time,

If it is over, I am afraid that he will be imprisoned. How can there be an egg that is overturned when the nest is overturned? The eldest sister has been killed, and Yuan Xiaojun will not end well. I am afraid that at least ten years of imprisonment are waiting for him.

There was deathly silence, the living room was in a mess, and the nanny left quietly at some point. Only the portrait of the old lady on the wall was watching all this. Relatives and friends did not come to pay their respects immediately. Something happened to the Yuan family, so they hid.

He couldn't hide, so how could he come and cause trouble for himself at this juncture?

As for Yuan Xiaojun's friends, none of them showed up. In the evening, only a few retired cadres from the provincial party committee's family compound came to see them and gave some paper money. However, they had always been on good terms with the Yuan family.

No one came from the Han family or the Mai family, and there were only three solitary wreaths placed at the door. One was bought by my aunt in the name of her husband and herself, the other was bought by Vice President Fang in the name of Yuan Zijun, and the third one was bought by Vice President Fang in the name of Yuan Zijun.

Fang Fei and Yuan Lin's two children bought it.

"Oh, I recently went on a business trip and I can't come back. It doesn't matter. I'll do whatever you want." My aunt put down the phone and let out a long sigh. She couldn't remember how many times she sighed today. She said, "The tea is cool when you leave."

It's not false at all. All social contacts seemed to know about the Yuan family's misfortune in the shortest possible time. They made dozens of phone calls, but all of them complained that they were unwilling to come to the memorial service.

It wasn't until the next day that the Bureau of Veteran Cadres of the Provincial Party Committee sent a section chief to express condolences. My aunt took the opportunity to make a request that at least one or two leading comrades of the Provincial Party Committee should appear at the memorial service, otherwise the old man would be under the influence.

Not wanting to rest in peace, the section chief pondered for a moment, agreed to report it to his superiors, and asked in a routine manner what kind of care the family needed, and then left a wreath and left.

The door was deserted and the traffic was sparse. No one from the health department came, and no one from the old subordinates promoted by the old man of the Yuan family came. My aunt finally gave up. It seemed that there would be no chance of using the old lady's funeral to build relationships and intercede.

Just as she was despairing, a black motorcade slowly drove over, all of which were high-end cars with provincial license plates. Some unfamiliar faces got out of the car, lifted the wreaths from the truck at the end, and placed them one after another.

Dozens of wreaths were placed in front of Yuan's house, giving it a somewhat mournful feel.

"Who are you?" my aunt asked suspiciously. These people don't have the temperament of government officials, and their license plates are ordinary civilian license plates. Logically speaking, they should be my husband's friends, but I don't know them. I was wondering.

A familiar face appeared, it was Liu Ziguang, whom the Yuan family had always disliked.

"Little aunt, my condolences." Liu Ziguang's voice was so pleasant at this time. If the Yuan family had not lost power, it would not have been Liu Ziguang's turn to come to express condolences. But now the fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and the little aunt who has always been good at looking at people with her nostrils can only

He was able to put aside his wealth and shake hands with Liu Ziguang: "Thank you, come in and offer a stick of incense to the old lady."

Liu Ziguang led everyone into the deserted living room, bowed three times to the portrait of the old lady of the Yuan family, handed a white paper bag to his aunt, and shook hands with Vice President Fang, Fang Fei, and Yuan Lin one by one.

.

After the ceremony, Vice President Fang pulled Liu Ziguang aside and said, "You should know about Xiaofei's mother. Is there any way out?"

Liu Ziguang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is really no way to go about this line. It involves party discipline and state laws. Spending money to find someone is a waste of effort."
