Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar
Chapter 512: A Taboo
In fact, older people know that anyone who runs a coffin shop is connected to some Yin Yang masters and other people who make money from the underworld. It's no big deal to offend a coffin seller, but if this matter is exposed, when these old guys die, if they need something or others don't sell it to them, they will really die with no peace of mind!
Granny Liu trembled as she walked to Jia Zhang's side and said with a dark face, "Zhang's girl, do you really want your son to die with regrets? It's not easy for those young men to carry an empty coffin through the streets for such a long distance. Don't you think about them? If you really ruin the reputation of our courtyard because of this little thing of yours, we old guys will definitely not let you go."
Granny Liu was furious. She knew her own health and was afraid that she would only have a few more years to live. If she really offended all those people who were in charge of funerals, her affairs after death would also be affected. She had to let Jia Zhang pay for the coffin, otherwise, don't blame them for being rude.
Old man Wu limped over with his frail legs, his face looking very ugly. He gritted his teeth and looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Girl from the Zhang family, don't blame us elders for speaking harshly. If you really offend the reputation of our courtyard house for a little coffin money, we are really afraid that we won't even be able to prepare a coffin when we die. Okay, stop talking nonsense and pay the money quickly."
Jia Zhang actually had an idea in her heart. She wanted Yi Zhonghai to pay for the coffin. This was also a test for Yi Zhonghai. When his son was alive, Yi Zhonghai had been kind to the Jia family for free. He wanted to test Yi Zhonghai. His son was dead now. Could Yi Zhonghai still help their family? If Yi Zhonghai really gave up, Jia Zhang would be very scared.
"No, we must tie up this old dog Yi Zhonghai in the Jia family. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an old woman like him to raise his own grandson. And of course, we can't let that slut Xu Erni remarry." Jia Zhang thought viciously in her heart, and then quickly made up her mind.
Gritting his teeth and preparing to throw a tantrum, Xu Damao and his group staggered into the middle courtyard. At noon, his daughter had already been picked up by his mother-in-law. Xu Damao shook his head and said, "Why are there so many people in this courtyard? What are you doing? Why do you want to hold a general meeting again? Are you annoying?"
He Yuzhu was staggering, his legs spinning. Yi Zhonghai's face was so ugly, he said, "A neighbor in a courtyard died this morning, and you two got drunk at night. What kind of behavior are you two doing? Do you know?" Jia Zhang's eyes were full of sparks, and she looked at He Yuzhu and Xu Damao with gritted teeth.
He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Uncle, that's wrong. It's because after Brother Dongxu died, we all felt so sad! How can a cultured person say this? Oh, by the way, let's drink to relieve our sorrow. Brother Dongxu grew up with us. After Brother Dongxu left, Xu Damao and I felt so sad!"
He Yuzhu pinched Xu Damao very secretly, and Xu Damao also realized that it was wrong for the two brothers to drink tonight. As if it was a celebration, Xu Damao was also a very smart person, and he also acted with He Yuzhu. With snot and tears, he said, "Oh my, my brother Dongxu, you really died so tragically. You died so young, and I, Xu Damao, feel so sad and painful in my heart."
The neighbors in the courtyard thought about it, and seeing how serious He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were, they felt that they were not lying. Their previous small opinions about the two disappeared immediately. Some elderly people even felt that He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were really kind-hearted.
Yi Zhonghai felt that He Yuzhu was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. He could even make such a thing sound so complicated. He also said that they were sad that Jia Dongxu died young and went out to drink to drown their sorrows. Yi Zhonghai would definitely not believe such nonsense. But what the two said was well-founded, and Yi Zhonghai suddenly had no idea what to do.
Jia Zhang saw this scene and heard these words, and she felt that what He Yuzhu said was nonsense. But Jia Zhang naturally couldn't say anything. He Yuzhu and Xu Damao came back drunk today, but the brothers got drunk when they were remembering their son. What can a mother do?
I could only jump with anger in my heart. I was so angry. Who doesn't know who these two guys are? I'm afraid that my son is dead, and these two guys may be laughing behind my back. The young man selling coffins yawned and said speechlessly, "Hey, stop chatting. Let's talk about what we should do about this matter today. Let's say it quickly."
The young man was really impatient. He could feel that the Jia family was not very popular, but this matter had nothing to do with him. After Yi Zhonghai's persuasion, the Jia family paid half of the ten yuan coffin money and Yi Zhonghai paid the other half. This surprised the people in the courtyard and they opened their mouths wide. There are people who are stingy these days, but they have never seen such stinginess.
The old men and women in the courtyard shook their heads, thinking that Jia Dongxu had such a mother, which was really a sin in his previous life! Xu Erni also sighed in her heart, what kind of dragon's den and tiger's lair did she marry into. He was also a man who had seen the world, and he was really tired today.
When her son died, the mother refused to pay for the coffin. Xu Erni even thought that it would be better for her to die. She even thought that if the old woman Jia Zhang hadn't died, his life would have been much better.
