The Beginning of Siheyuan Blackmailing Yi Zhonghai

The next morning, just as Lin Haichang and Sha Zhu were preparing to send the old lady to be cremated, Yi Zhonghai was carried into the central courtyard, causing an uproar.

"Old Yi, why are you back?" Yan Bugui rushed over and asked first.

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with the effect of his return. He glanced at the aunt and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, I will see Sufen off for the last time."

"Why are you doing this? Your health is more important."

"That's right, you should take good care of yourself after being injured so badly."

"We are here to take care of it. We will definitely make sure your daughter-in-law's funeral is a success."

Everyone tried to persuade him, but Yi Zhonghai still shook his head.

"You don't have to say anything. I've made up my mind. Take me to the crematorium. I can still hold on."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, no one tried to persuade him anymore. Besides, it was almost time and they couldn't waste any more time.

Lin Haichang began to direct the men in the courtyard to pull the body to the crematorium together.

Yi Zhonghai just sat on the cart and stroked the face of an old lady, which made many people feel distressed.

If Wang Tiedan were here, he would definitely give him a thumbs up; the performance was amazing.

Not long after everyone left, Wang Tiedan slowly walked into the yard.

He first went to Uncle Ni's house and Grandma's house and took a look around before walking towards the central courtyard. At the door, he met Yan Bugui, the accountant.

"Hey, Tiedan, you're here."

"Ah."

Wang Tiedan took out fifty cents and put it on the table.

"What about people?"

"It's cremated."

Yan Bugui collected the money and wrote down the name and amount neatly in a notebook.

"so early?"

"You have to queue up for cremation, so don't waste time."

"really."

Wang Tiedan nodded and walked towards his room.

Since Xu Damao got married, he hasn't lived here for a long time.

"Wang Tiedan."

Before he could enter the backyard, Sha Zhu, who was busy at the stove, called him again.

"What's wrong?" Wang Tiedan asked.

"How about you be the one to carry the coffin this afternoon?"

"I?"

Wang Tiedan pointed at himself in surprise.

"You want me to carry a coffin with my small body? Do you have a grudge against the lady?"

In the eyes of everyone, although Wang Tiedan was much stronger, he still gave people the impression of being frail and was definitely not suitable for carrying a coffin.

Sha Zhu looked Wang Tiedan up and down.

"I think you can do it. Anyway, we are still short of one person, so you don't need to use too much strength. Just tell me if you can do it, okay?"

"You can find whoever you want, I can't lift him."

Having said that, Wang Tiedan continued to walk towards the backyard. He would not join in the fun.

"Tiedan, after all, we are from the same compound. Why are you so unkind when it comes to lending a hand?" Sha Zhu followed and wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled back by Zhuo Xiaohe.

Wang Tiedan didn't bother to pay attention to him and just unlocked the door and went into the house.

It's just a matter of hiring a waiter and only costs a dollar or two. It's really stupid to save this little money for Yi Zhonghai.

Wang Tiedan looked around his room. Although small, it had everything he needed. It was cleaned tidy and there was no musty smell.

If it weren't in the shade, it would be a perfect nest.

It’s a pity that it will be difficult to live here in the future.

When Wang Tiedan was planning how to open a skylight, there was a knock on the door.

"Tiedan, I'm your Aunt Ma."

Wang Tiedan guessed that it must be because of the beating Yi Zhonghai got yesterday.

He opened the door hastily.

"Aunt Ma, why are you here? Come in and talk."

"No."

Aunt Ma looked around and saw no one, so she asked in a low voice, "Did you hire someone to do what happened to Yi Zhonghai yesterday?"

"What happened to Yi Zhonghai?" Wang Tiedan looked puzzled and pretended to be clueless.

Aunt Ma kept staring at Wang Tiedan's expression, and it seemed that he was not lying.

"Yi Zhonghai was beaten up last night. Someone hired someone to kill him and wanted one of his legs."

"I didn't agree to it, why would I buy it?"

"It's really not you who did it?"

"Really? I can't lie to anyone else but you." Wang Tiedan looked very innocent.

Aunt Ma immediately became emo.

"If it's not you, then who else could it be? Could it be that Wei Sufen has also found someone else?"

Before Wang Tiedan could say anything, she started to make up for it.

"That's possible. It costs a lot of money to hire a killer. Maybe the killer was hired before the old lady was admitted to the hospital."

"That's true, Tiedan, don't do anything stupid." Aunt Ma continued to remind.

"No, don't worry. How was Yi Zhonghai yesterday? Did someone break his leg?"

"No, it is said that when the murderer was about to kill, he was met by Zhao Laomo from No. 90 Courtyard. The man kicked him and ran away. Maybe he was too panicked and kicked the crotch instead of the leg. I heard that the injury was quite serious. However, Yi Zhonghai was pulled back just now, and it seems that nothing serious happened."

"If the murderer fails, won't he come again?" Wang Tiedan said.

“It’s hard to say!”

Aunt Ma thought about it and shook her head again.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if it's you. Don't get involved in his family's affairs. You look at me in confusion."

"What's wrong?" Wang Tiedan asked curiously.

"It's strange. I think even if his parents died, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't act so sad. Besides, his relationship with Wei Sufen isn't that good at all."

"Overacting?"

"Well, that's about what it means. It's a bit too much anyway." Aunt Ma agreed.

"Yi Zhonghai, this old fox, cares about his reputation. Maybe he is just putting on an act for others to see."

"It's possible, but I think it's too fake."

"Hey, let's just watch the show."

Wang Tiedan smiled and said that he didn't want to expose Yi Zhonghai's conspiracy for the time being.

On the other side, Sha Zhu was blamed by Zhuo Xiaohe.

"Haven't you already found the people to carry the coffin? Why are you asking Wang Tiedan to do this again?"

"One more person means more strength. We can take turns when the time comes. It will be safer." Sha Zhu only told half the truth.

He had seen Wang Tiedan dragging seafood to the factory, and it must have taken a lot of strength.

Xu Damao was not there. Based on his own experience, he strongly suspected that the attack on Yi Zhonghai last night was done by Wang Tiedan, but he had no evidence.

"I see you have nothing to do. There are a few young people who are interested in doing such a thankless job as carrying a coffin. Can't you hire a few more people?"

"Hey, I listen to my wife."

crematorium.

Yi Zhonghai continued with his performance. Before, when the corpse was put into the incinerator, he cried like he was dying. Now, he looked at the flames in the incinerator with deep affection, tears streaming down his face.

It took more than half an hour to transform the corpse into ashes, and he watched intently for more than half an hour.

There are many corpses cremated every day, but there is only one with such rich emotions as Yi Zhonghai, which amazed the staff at the crematorium.

The best urn, the best blessed soil, and the best silk red cloth to wrap the urn.

Yi Zhonghai was not stingy with his money. He just wanted everyone to know his feelings for the aunt so that he could lay the groundwork for committing suicide to show his love for her.
