Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

In the courtyard.

White flags fluttered and suona music shook the sky.

The funeral of the deaf old lady has been arranged.

Because of Xie Xiaoqi's persistence.

The mourning hall for the deaf old lady was set up in the central courtyard.

A small shed.

Four moldy and rotten logs served as the pillars of the shed.

Ropes were tied to the rotten wood, forming a crooked quadrilateral.

Yan Bugui was reluctant to use good cloth to make wall curtains.

He found a bunch of old, tattered white cloth strips from somewhere.

He tied one end of the white cloth to the rope, let the other end hang on the ground, and then pressed it down with a clod of earth.

This shabby mourning hall with knots everywhere was set up.

The deaf old lady's coffin stood alone in the middle of the shed.

No photos, no wreaths.

There were only two elegiac couplets written in black on white paper pasted on the white cloth strip opposite the coffin.

Yan Bugui would never pay for the funeral of a deaf old lady.

He wrote a pair of elegiac couplets as his contribution at the time.

At the end of the deaf old lady's coffin, there was a table with a lame leg.

There were offerings on the table.

A bowl of turbid water and a bowl of wormy rice.

In front of the offerings is the incense burner.

The three incense sticks in the incense burner were almost burned out, emitting a pungent smell intermittently.

There are white candles on both sides of the incense burner.

However, the two white candles had been broken, leaving only the roots.

Xie Xiaoqi knelt in front of the deaf old lady's spirit, his eyes red from staying up late.

The mourning hall was quiet and no one visited.

Outside the mourning hall, there was laughter and excitement.

Finally we can have the banquet!

Everyone in the courtyard rushed to take seats at the banquet.

There were four tables set up in the yard.

Everyone has a meal.

Yan Bugui's family sat separately.

Their target is the big elbow.

As soon as the big pork elbows from each table arrived, they would each grab a plate.

At that time, after eating the big elbow, you can use the bones in the elbow to make soup.

Jia Zhang was sitting at the table with her stick.

Bang Geng kept yelling.

"Grandma, I'm so hungry."

"When will the banquet start?"

Jia Zhang was also very greedy.

She kept looking toward the back of the mourning hall.

She spoke something to comfort the stick.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, it's coming."

"My dear grandson, wait a little longer. When the big elbow comes up, grandma will grab it for you."

"I want to eat it now."

Bang Geng was twisting his body on the stool.

Jia Zhang only spoke for a while.

Bang Geng was so angry that he grabbed the white cloth on his side and started tearing it apart.

The four moldy logs were not firmly buried.

When the stick was pulled, the wood became slightly crooked.

Qin Huairu, who was sitting next to Bang Geng, saw it.

She quickly patted the back of Banggeng's hand.

"Don't play this!"

How unlucky!

Bang Geng had no choice but to let go.

Behind Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong was sitting at another seat.

He told others about the funeral he had arranged for a deaf old lady.

"Don't look at those four pieces of wood. They look like they are about to rot."

"But the core inside is fine."

"If I didn't have some connections with the workshop director in the factory, I wouldn't be able to borrow this wood."

Sitting next to Liu Haizhong is Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong's boasting appearance.

He cursed Liu Haizhong fiercely in his heart, thinking that this villain was successful and that sooner or later he would make him fall.

Everyone in the yard has his or her own ulterior motives.

No one noticed that the wood, which was being pulled crooked by the stick, was becoming more and more crooked.

The food was finally served.

The vegetarian dishes were served first.

Stir-fried Chinese cabbage, pickled white radish with vinegar, stir-fried potatoes with chili peppers, and cucumbers with garlic.

Although it was a vegetarian dish, the people in the yard were not slow in preparing it.

The four dishes were all gone within three minutes of being served.

Yan Bugui picked up the plate and drank even the vinegar used to soak the white radish.

Someone cursed Yan Bugui in a low voice.

"Look at how stingy he is. He even drinks vinegar."

"It's really a good thing that his last name is like that, Old Yan, just let him die."

"You charge us so much money and just give us this to eat!"

Yan Bugui didn't hear it. He smacked his lips a few times and drank the vinegar quite happily.

Soon, the big elbow came up.

When Yan Bugui's family saw the big pork elbow, they all rushed to grab it.

The pork elbows from Auntie San haven't been served yet.

She stood up immediately and took the big elbow in her hand.

Jia Zhang, who was sitting with the third aunt, saw it and hit the third aunt on the back of her hand with a chopstick.

The third aunt took away the pork elbow, what should the pork stick eat?

The third aunt felt pain, loosened her grip, and her elbow fell on the table.

Jia Zhang quickly stood up and picked up the elbow in her hand.

The three aunts were angry.

She got the elbow by her own strength.

Why did Jia Zhang cut off her Hu?

"Jia Zhangshi!"

The three aunts screamed in anger.

Jia Zhang looked at the third aunt proudly with her elbow in her hand.

"What's wrong? What do you want me to do?"

The third aunt said with gritted teeth.

"Give me back my elbow!"

Jia Zhang handed the pork elbow to Bang Geng and signaled him with her eyes to eat it quickly.

"I snatched it, why should I give it to you!"

At the same time, the stick terrier opened his mouth and took a big bite on the elbow.

The people at the table also blamed Jia Zhang.

"How can you let Bang Geng eat the pork elbow alone?"

"It obviously belongs to everyone!"

When the third aunt saw so many people talking about Jia Zhang, she suddenly felt confident.

She picked up a plate and said to Jia Zhang.

"You can't give me an elbow."

Jia Zhang is really not afraid of the third aunt.

"I won't give it to you."

The three aunts were furious.

She raised her hand and threw the plate at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang was caught off guard and was hit on the forehead.

Jia Zhang was furious.

"How dare you hit me, you bastard?"

Jia Zhang picked up the plate in front of her and threw it at the third aunt.

Then she quickly flashed in front of the three aunts.

She started scratching the third aunt's face.

The three aunts were not willing to be outdone.

She grabbed Jia Zhang's hair and scratched her.

In an instant, the two men fought from the table to the mourning hall next to them.

Wait until people react.

Jia Zhang and the third aunt had already torn down the tattered curtains on the mourning hall and entered.

Xie Xiaoqi is in the mourning hall.

His sad mind was elsewhere.

Until Jia Zhang and the third aunt came in.

His dazed eyes began to move slightly.

He spoke, his voice hoarse and low.

"What are you doing?"

His voice was too low.

Neither Jia Zhang nor the third aunt heard it.

The two of them were tearing at the piece of wood that was bent by the stick.

Xie Xiaoqi stood up and was about to stop it.

How could these damned women cause trouble in the old lady’s funeral hall!

Xie Xiaoqi had just stood up and hadn't had time to walk over.

Jia Zhang pushed the third aunt against the pillar.

The pillar exerted force and broke with a snap.

In an instant, the remaining three pieces of wood were also brought down by the rope.

There was a lot of crackling noises.

The wood broke and the white cloth flew.

The funeral hall of the deaf old lady.

Collapsed!

The deaf old lady's coffin was also brought to the ground by the fallen wood.

Seeing all this, Xie Xiaoqi stood up angrily.

He walked towards Jia Zhang and the third aunt who were dismantling the mourning hall.
