When we returned to the courtyard, it was almost noon.

Yi Zhonghai was carried into the house, and he turned into a husband-waiting stone while holding the urn, his eyes fixed on the portrait.

No one cared about him since he wouldn't die anyway.

After the banquet, the funeral will begin.

There was no filial son or grandson, so after some reluctance, Sha Zhu came out and threw the basin, which allowed the coffin to be carried out smoothly.

Yi Zhonghai sat on a cart holding the portrait and was pushed all the way to the cemetery.

Wang Tiedan did not go with them. After the meal, he went into the house to catch up on his sleep.

When he woke up, he heard that Yi Zhonghai had fainted in the cemetery and was admitted to the hospital again. Fortunately, the funeral of Aunt Yi was successfully completed.

When an old lady passed away, the hole she left behind was quite big.

The one who was most affected was definitely the deaf old lady. Without the old lady, there was no one to deliver meals, clean the house, or tidy up the place.

You can prepare your own meals, it doesn’t matter if you eat less, and you can change clothes less often.

But the deaf old lady is old and has bound feet. For many years, she has been accustomed to eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the house. She doesn't mind if there is an old lady who empties the toilet every day.

But now, we can't expect her to empty the toilet herself.

It was fine for one or two days, but after three days, the house smelled really sour.

It's not even summer yet.

If it were in the past, when Yi Zhonghai was in charge, the deaf old lady would definitely force the second aunt or other people in the yard to help, otherwise she would collapse in the yard.

But now, no one will tolerate her bad habits.

If she dared to fall, no one else would know, and Zhou Fangjing could shovel everything back to her room by herself.

Since the problem has arisen, it must be solved.

The pressure was put on Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, a godson and a grandson.

Yi Zhonghai just came back from the hospital and he still looks half dead. He can't be relied on.

Then leave it to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu looked at Zhuo Xiaohe, but Zhuo Xiaohe just glanced at him and that dispelled all Sha Zhu's expectations.

Zhuo Xiaohe has already made a great effort to take care of Sha Zhu's home. You know, she is spoiled by everyone at home and does not do any work. Asking her to serve an insignificant old woman is simply wishful thinking.

In the end, Shazhu compromised and went over to help pour the water early every morning, barely solving the biggest problem.

However, this incident still caused Zhuo Xiaohe a lot of complaints.

Another trap was set by Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai pretended to be half dead, but he was quite active at night.

There was no other reason. The aunt sensed danger and in order to gain leverage for herself and make Yi Zhonghai hesitate, she hid all the valuable things in the house, including gold, silver, jade, money, antiques, and even deposit slips.

But I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to act so quickly and so ruthlessly.

Before she could say anything, she died.

By the time Yi Zhonghai realized it was too late, he began to search frantically at night, but found nothing.

The aunt is not stupid. The house is so small and it is difficult to hide it, but if it is outside, especially buried in the cellar, you can go looking for it, but you will never find it even if you work yourself to death.

For a moment, Yi Zhonghai had the urge to scatter the aunt's ashes.

The funeral cost a lot of money, and the family's cash was basically exhausted. If it weren't for the deposit slip that could be replaced, the gold, silver and jade artifacts that he had collected over half his life would be gone, which would be the end of him.

Things can't be found, but things still need to be done.

That night, Yi Zhonghai sent a signal to Qin Huairu to come and see him.

Qin Huairu was reluctant, but she did not dare to object until the evidence was cleared.

"Master?"

Seeing that the lights in the room were not on, Qin Huairu leaned close to the crack in the door and asked tentatively.

"Come in, the door is not locked." Yi Zhonghai said lightly.

"Oh~"

When Qin Huairu opened the door, she smelled a strange smell, which was not much different from the smell in her own home in the morning. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and walked in.

The door was closed and the room returned to darkness again. However, Yi Zhonghai saw something strange about Qin Huairu in the moonlight.

"Don't mind. I'm a man and it's not easy to deal with."

"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?" Qin Huairu asked directly. She had some vague guesses.

"I said, I want to marry you, are you willing?"

Yi Zhonghai pulled Qin Huairu over and asked her to sit on his lap while gently stroking her belly.

Qin Huairu almost cursed in her heart.

"Uncle, there is a generation gap between us. This is not appropriate."

"From Dongxu's point of view, there is a generation difference, but from Old Zhang's point of view, there is no problem." Yi Zhonghai replied.

"But……"

"Don't say buts. Just tell me whether you are willing or not. You should know that you are still pregnant with my child."

"me……"

Qin Huairu really didn't want to agree. She wanted to recommend Yi Zhonghai to Jia Zhangshi, which would gain her a lot.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement."

Yi Zhonghai didn't look at Qin Huairu's expression and started to tell her about his plan directly.

Qin Huairu initially thought that Yi Zhonghai was dreaming, but after listening to the plan in its entirety, she also felt that the plan was feasible, and the three-times-rejection routine would definitely not be criticized too much.

"Starting tomorrow, you will bring me food every night. The first time will be on time at 10:30 pm three days later. Is that ok with you?"

"No."

"Well, don't worry. When you marry me, I will give you all my money, and I will support your family. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Ah."

Qin Huairu's answer was very perfunctory, saying that if you marry Jia Zhang, you still have to support everyone in the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai also felt Qin Huairu's reluctance and continued to increase the stakes.

"Huai Ru, to tell you the truth, I still have a batch of treasures, or to be exact, two batches. The first batch is worth at least 30,000 yuan, and the other batch is definitely worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.

If you can marry me and give birth to a child successfully, I don't mind giving you all this treasure."

Sure enough, as soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Qin Huairu became excited.

"Uncle, I've already said I agree. I will definitely do as you say."

"Well, I believe you."

The two didn't chat for long, and Qin Huairu sneaked back home.

But they didn’t know that Wang Tiedan had heard everything they said clearly.

It just so happened that today, my dad and mom had a quarrel over a trivial matter, which directly led to Wang Tiedan's anger. In order to avoid the noise, he ran here to sleep. As a result, he saw Qin Huairu sneaking into Yi Zhonghai's house and heard the entire conversation between them.

Wang Tiedan couldn't help but give Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up.

He went around Yi Zhonghai's house all over, but found no treasure, not even a penny.

His family was so poor that almost all the rats were running away, but he still had the audacity to say that he had two treasures and deceived an ignorant young woman. He was simply a role model of con men.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Yi Zhonghai hid the treasure outside.

So Wang Tiedan searched around the yard again. He didn't know what he was looking for until he started searching. He was really surprised.
