Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Qin Huairu stood beside He Yuzhu and kept pulling his arm, signaling him to say less and not to tell everyone all the money left by the old lady.

In Qin Huairu's eyes, since the old lady made a will and agreed to give all her savings and the house to He Yuzhu, then the more than 100 yuan and the house in the backyard belonged to her.

He Yuzhu, on the other hand, asked for the money to hold a funeral for the deaf old lady.

This is Qin Huairu's money, she definitely won't want to part with it.

But He Yuzhu had already said it, and the money was indeed saved by the deaf old lady herself. Even if He Yuzhu was the heir, he could not embezzle it and not hold a funeral for the deaf old lady.

Seeing that He Yuzhu refused to budge, although she was disappointed and even a little dissatisfied and angry, as things had come to this point, as He Yuzhu's wife, all she could do was to support him. Otherwise, she would definitely be labeled as unfilial by the neighbors in the courtyard.

She had worked so hard to establish an image of a filial mother-in-law in Siheyuan. If this image were to be ruined because of a few dozen dollars, it would definitely be a loss.

In order to preserve this image, he had no choice but to agree to pay for the funeral of the deaf old lady.

But Qin Huairu is not as stupid as He Yuzhu.

I just found more than 100 yuan at the deaf old lady's house. In Qin Huairu's opinion, it would be good if he could take out 30 yuan to hold the funeral for the deaf old lady.

The remaining hundred dollars or so will definitely belong to you.

Yi Zhonghai, who was in an awkward situation at the side, saw He Yuzhu take the initiative to step forward to bear the expenses of the deaf old lady's funeral. For the first time, he felt that his godson was not adopted in vain, otherwise he really would not be able to break this situation.

Looking at He Yuzhu, he said with satisfaction: "Zhuzi..."

"The old lady loves you well. If the money you save is not enough, I, as your godfather, will pay for the rest."

"After all, the old lady was very close to me and helped me a lot. I should give her a grand funeral and send her off properly."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Chen Dehui and Liu Haizhong, and said with a hint of pleading: "First uncle, third uncle..."

"Since the funeral expenses have been resolved, it doesn't matter whether I know whether the old lady wrote a will to Zhuzi in advance."

"The most urgent task now is to ask the neighbors in the yard to help build the mourning hall for the old lady as soon as possible so that she can be buried in peace as soon as possible."

The problem is gone, there is no need to continue to worry about it.

Chen Dehui nodded and replied: "I have difficulty walking, so I will not participate in the funeral. All matters will be decided by the second and third uncles."

"If you need any help, you can go directly to Dongzi."

Liu Haizhong really wanted to use this incident to completely ruin Yi Zhonghai's reputation in Siheyuan, and then lose his position as the second master. In this way, he could become the second master of Siheyuan.

But now the deaf old lady is still dying at home, and it is obviously not the time to argue with Yi Zhonghai about the second uncle.

In addition, since Chen Dehui, as the eldest uncle, did not intend to continue to hold Yi Zhonghai accountable, he, as the third uncle of the courtyard, could not continue to insist and could only nod in agreement.

I don’t know how Qin Huairu convinced He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai, but the funeral of the deaf old lady was much simpler than expected.

Even at the funeral dinner that was held to entertain the neighbors in the courtyard, there was only one meat dish and a fried chicken on the table, and the rest were all vegetarian dishes, which caused the neighbors to point fingers at He Yuzhu.

But Qin Huairu didn't care about these gossips.

Money is what he values ​​most. If he can earn more than a hundred yuan by having a few gossips about him, Qin Huairu would love for people to gossip about him every day.

Now that the old lady has been buried, the remaining one hundred yuan from the funeral has gone into his pocket. Qin Huairu did not stop there, but instead shifted his target to the empty house in the backyard. His own stalk has grown up, and although the sleeping place is now separated from Kuihua and Jia Zhangshi, it is still too small.

In Qin Huairu's opinion, only a house like the main house in the central courtyard is worthy of his own Banggeng.

Whenever he had free time these two days, he reminded He Yuzhu to take the deaf old lady's will to the street office to transfer the ownership as soon as possible.

As long as the house in the backyard was transferred to He Yuzhu's name, he could live in the backyard with He Yuzhu legitimately, and the main house in the middle yard would naturally fall into Banggeng's hands.

Qin Huairu's calculations were very accurate, but He Yuzhu had his own difficulties.

Because his salary did not increase and he could not get any banquets on the street, he only paid back less than 50 yuan to Wang Dong in two years, which was not even enough to pay the interest.

According to the plan, as long as the deaf old lady's house in the backyard was transferred to his name, he should give it to Wang Dong instead of moving in himself.

But neither Qin Huairu nor Yi Zhonghai were aware of this matter, let alone the fact that the main house in the central courtyard had long belonged to Wang Dong.

If this matter were to be exposed, not only would Qin Huairu have a huge falling out with him and even go their separate ways, but Yi Zhonghai would also be greatly disappointed in him and might even break off the relationship between them.

Just when He Yuzhu was confused and didn't know what to do, Yi Zhonghai suddenly came over and said, "Zhu Zi..."

"I heard that Huairu has been instigating you to go to the street to transfer the deaf old lady's house to your own name..."

"She wants to?"

He Yuzhu didn't know what Yi Zhonghai's real purpose was in suddenly asking this question, but he still answered it straightforwardly without hiding anything.

"Godfather..."

"It's not a good idea for the terrier to live in such a small cubicle when he grows up."

"Kuihua and Xiaodang have grown up. It's impossible for them to sleep in the same bed with Jia Zhang every day."

"Huai Ru wanted Bang Geng to move to the main house in the middle courtyard, and I moved with her to the house in the backyard where the deaf old lady lived."

"No..." Yi Zhonghai refused subconsciously.

"You can't move to the backyard yet."

"You guys moved in right after the old lady passed away. The neighbors will definitely think that you two have been plotting to take over the old lady's house for a long time."

"The fact that the old lady's funeral was too simple has already caused dissatisfaction among the neighbors in the yard. If you move into the backyard now, the neighbors will definitely be even more dissatisfied with you two. It will take a month or two to move out."

"Wait until everyone forgets the unpleasantness at the deaf old lady's funeral before moving."

"Talk to Huairu later and tell her that I don't agree with you moving into the backyard right now. Let Banggeng stay in the cubicle for another two months."

He Yuzhu was worrying about how to stop Qin Huairu from moving to the backyard, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to come to him and find an excuse for him.

He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Godfather..."

"You're right. We must not let the neighbors misunderstand that we are plotting to take over the old lady's house. I'll tell Huairu that we will move in two months." (End of this chapter)
