Siheyuan.

The deaf old lady leaned against the bed with a very ugly look on her face.

It can be said that the aunt was a maid she specially hired to do her bidding.

For decades, her eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, cleaning, washing clothes and sleeping were basically taken care of by an aunt. Now that she is gone, what do you want her to do in the future?

If we let Zhuo Xiaohe come, she won't be a maid who can serve others.

One or two days might be okay, but three days will definitely turn the table upside down.

This is only one aspect. The death of the old lady was quite strange.

She knew about the heart disease. She had been checked before. The doctor said it was not serious. If she took medicine on time, she might live to her eighties or nineties, but she would definitely live to her sixties or seventies.

Now it's gone just like that. Don't you think it's strange?

Even if Yi Zhonghai was the one who did it, it was Yi Yima who had served him for half his life. Even if she had no credit, she had worked hard. Their relationship had always been good. I heard that Yi Zhonghai fainted in the hospital from crying, and now he is still guarding Yi Yima without moving.

If it wasn’t Yi Zhonghai, who else could it be?

I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out!

No matter what, the person is already dead and someone still needs to take care of her life.

The deaf old lady has already started thinking about letting Yi Zhonghai remarry.

Qin Huairu, who was slacking off in the warehouse, was also confused.

Ever since she heard the news of Auntie's death, she has been wondering why Yi Zhonghai asked her to become Old Man Zhang's disciple for no reason.

It's not surprising that Xu Damao was used as a bargaining chip by Yi Zhonghai to gain benefits and convenience, as he had done so before.

But becoming a disciple is absolutely unnecessary.

Apart from being a little older, I don’t see any benefits for now.

Did Yi Zhonghai intend to kill the old lady and then marry himself from the very beginning?

It's impossible and unrealistic.

Killing an old lady can be understood as widowhood instead of divorce, which will be good in terms of reputation.

But if he married her, even if her seniority was raised, she would still be the apprentice's wife and would not be accepted by the steel mill.

I still can’t figure it out.

The atmosphere in the central courtyard was very depressing. Under the management of Sha Zhu, a mourning shed had been set up.

The body of the eldest lady was placed in the main hall of the Yi family. She was wearing funeral clothes and covered with a quilt, and looked very peaceful.

Due to the times, it is impossible to hold a grand celebration.

The body will be sent for cremation tomorrow morning, and will be returned to the courtyard for a simple ceremony at noon. It will then be sent to the cemetery for burial in the afternoon, it will be that quick.

So the less you look at it, the better.

Yi Zhonghai sat beside the body, staring at the old lady's cheek quietly, his eyes fixed on her, tears falling from his eyes from time to time.

Anyone who sees it will admire the deep affection between the couple and Yi Zhonghai's deep love for the aunt.

There was a constant stream of people coming to pay their respects, including factory employees and nearby neighbors.

People from the street office and the steel rolling mill also came, and Director Wang and Factory Director Yang came in person to express their condolences.

This is the appearance of an eighth-level worker.

However, no matter who it was, Yi Zhonghai simply expressed his gratitude and then went back to sit there without even standing up.

Everyone expressed their understanding of this.

Everyone knows that Yi Zhonghai has always been loyal to an old lady, and they are a well-known model couple in the street.

The busiest person is Sha Zhu. He certainly cannot be called a filial son and a good grandson, but all the miscellaneous and tiring work falls on him.

He had to do everything, including ordering funeral supplies, inviting guests, buying wreaths, funeral couplets, buying groceries, etc.

Of course, it was Yi Zhonghai who paid the money, and the people who managed it were Mr. Meng and Yan Bugui.

We originally wanted to invite Niu Ye, but Niu Ye used the excuse that he had no experience and went back home after a short visit.

He has seen too many dead people and has long lost his sense of them.

The excitement continued until the evening. Sha Zhu simply cooked a few dishes and invited the neighbors to help.

"Uncle, the food is ready, come and have something to eat." Sha Zhu knew that Yi Zhonghai had been sitting there all day without drinking a single drop of water.

"You guys eat, I'm not hungry." Yi Zhonghai looked at the old lady without raising his head.

"Uncle, you should eat a little. We will have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Your body won't be able to bear it if you continue like this." Sha Zhu continued to persuade.

However, this time Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything.

Sha Zhu shook his head and stopped persuading him. He simply served a bowl of food and took two steamed buns and placed them next to Yi Zhonghai. Whether he wanted to eat it or not, he had already done what he should do.

After delivering the meal to Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu took the dishes to the backyard and delivered a bowl to the deaf old lady.

This was originally done by an old lady.

The deaf old lady was already starving and hadn't eaten lunch.

"Zhu Zi, is your uncle okay?"

"It's still the same, not eating or drinking. Maybe it will be fine in two days." Sha Zhu said.

"Hey, you will understand their feelings later. You should be more patient these two days and take good care of your uncle. Don't let anything happen to him."

"Well, I see."

Sha Zhu was a little reluctant, but the dead are the most important, and the aunt did nothing wrong to him, so he couldn't just ignore it.

"Grandma, you eat first, I'll clean up later."

"Well, go ahead. I'm going to go see your aunt later."

……

In the central courtyard, the Jia family was unusually quiet, and Jia Zhangshi did not cry or make a fuss.

Qin Huairu had no intention of taking advantage. After dinner, she took a piece of yellow paper she had bought, took Bang Geng and the other two, and knelt in front of the mourning hall to pay their respects.

Yi Zhonghai took a look and said nothing, but he had already started to think about it in his mind.

The first step has been completed, becoming a widow, and now we are proceeding to the second step, creating an affectionate character.

In this step, not only do you have to perform well yourself, but you also need Qin Huairu's cooperation before you can proceed to the third step.

In order for his plan to succeed, he had to suffer a little more.

Qin Huairu's worship was not just a simple worship. She had doubts in her heart and came here to see if Yi Zhonghai had any instructions. Unfortunately, the other party did not make any move.

Just as she was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai raised his head.

"Xiao Qin, thank you."

"As you should, uncle." Qin Huairu said with a wry smile.

"Let the child go first. Come here. I have something to say to you."

It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s finally coming, Qin Huairu’s heart tightened.

"Bang Geng, take your sisters home first. I want to talk to your grandfather."

As he spoke, he had already arrived opposite Yi Zhonghai, with an old lady between them.

"Oh~"

Banggeng agreed and tried to pull up Xiaodang and Huaihua, but he couldn't do it.

Xiaodang and Huaihua were staring at the dishes and steamed buns next to Yi Zhonghai, drooling.

Yi Zhonghai also noticed the abnormality and sighed.

"Bang Geng, give it to your sister. One steamed bun for each of you. Don't fight over it."

"Good~"

Without waiting for Banggeng to react, Xiaodang rushed over, picked up the bowl and ran home, and Xiaohuaihua hurriedly followed behind.

"Uncle, maybe the child didn't eat enough." Qin Huairu said apologetically.

"fine."

Yi Zhonghai was used to it and didn't care.

He glanced at Sha Zhu, and seeing that the people eating were not paying attention to him, he wiped his tears and said softly: "Xiao Qin, I will only tell you this, it was me who killed your aunt."

"Ah?" Qin Huairu was shocked. She had suspected that Yi Zhonghai was the one who did it, but she didn't expect the other party to say it out loud himself.

As Yi Zhonghai said this, tears flowed like a dam bursting.

"A few days ago, I confessed to her that you were pregnant with my child. I wanted her to help me find her distant cousin to come and marry you, but she didn't want to, and she fell ill that day.

I had originally planned to wait until she got better before trying to persuade her, but I didn't expect that you, an old lady, would still be unable to get over it.

I've done all to harm her!"
