Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

He Yuzhu was woken up by someone and was still a little grumpy.

He flapped his arms, turned around with a sullen face and saw that it was Li Bowen, his expression relaxed.

"Bowen, why did you come back at this time?"

Li Bowen pointed at the Jia family and said, "Let's not talk about that first. What's going on? Jia Dongxu?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, Jia Dongxu is gone. He had an accident in the factory the day before yesterday. He died before he even got to the hospital. If you had come back a day later, the funeral would have been over."

"Isn't it supposed to be seven days? Why is the funeral being held after only three days?"

He Yuzhu raised his nose and pointed at the coffin: "Smell it, smell it, there are still seven days left. Can we stay in our courtyard for seven days?"

Li Bowen also sniffed it. He couldn't feel it from a distance, but when he got closer, he could already smell a faint stench. What's more, if this smell really stayed for seven days, no one would be able to live in their central courtyard.

"You haven't told me how Jia Dongxu died yet?"

He Yuzhu came over and whispered, "I was also told by someone in their workshop. At that time, Jia Dongxu was moving a workpiece onto the table, and somehow he lost his grip on it. The workpiece hit his feet, and he fell down onto the rotating lathe, and then he died!"

He Yuzhu made a gesture of a knife touching a neck, and then continued, "It is said that the blood sprayed all over the lathe and could not be stopped. She died before she even got to the hospital. Alas, Qin Huairu is so pitiful. She has become a widow at such a young age!"

Is this a discussion of the hundred ways Jia Dongxu could die? Li Bowen began to complain in his heart.

Then look at He Yuzhu's expression. It's obvious from his eyes that he is starting to become concerned about this new young widow.

No, you have to enlighten him when you have time. If you want to lick a young widow, you have to get the sweetness. Don't just win her over with a wink and a touch of her hand. If she wants to give birth to a baby for you, then marry her. If she doesn't, then wouldn't it be good to just take advantage of her? Why do you have to be a licker?

Seeing He Yuzhu still fantasizing, Li Bowen decided to remind him first and touched He Yuzhu with his shoulder: "Jia Dongxu should be considered a work-related injury, right? How is his pension determined? And what about that workstation?"

"I didn't really ask about this. The uncle went with Jia Zhang to negotiate! But we don't care about his business. No matter how much compensation he makes, we have no share. We just have to wait for the banquet tomorrow! But Jia Zhang is so fucking stingy. Look at the basket. She only ordered so many dishes. Not only did she not pay me, but she also asked me to prepare ten tables of banquets. What am I going to do? We're all going to eat hodgepodge tomorrow!" He Yuzhu said with a pout.

"Then you can do it for him. Go find whoever you want!"

"Hey, an old man came to me and said that we were from the same courtyard and I had to help him. I thought that the dead are the most important, so I agreed. Who knew it would turn out like this!"

Li Bowen also laughed: "Don't you know what kind of people Jia Zhang is like? Didn't the eldest master do anything?"

"Uncle, Uncle I guess he can't take care of this now. Look at his expression, he seems to be more sad than when his own son died! The candidate for retirement care that he has been training for many years is suddenly gone, and he has to train again!" He Yuzhu said as he looked at Yi Zhonghai who was drooping his head in the mourning shed.

Li Bowen felt that he needed to remind He Yuzhu: "I'm telling you, don't get close to an old man if you have nothing to do. Be careful that he might target you!"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid! I know exactly what the old man is planning!" He Yuzhu replied confidently.

Li Bowen said, I don’t believe you at all. Once the white lotus completes its evolution and joins forces with Yi Zhonghai, you will lose your way.

The two were chatting when the eldest sister Li Mei came out of Jia's house. After seeing Li Bowen, she smiled at first but soon realized something was wrong. She quickly put on a serious face and ran to Li Bowen: "Brother, you're back!"

"Well, what are you doing here at the Jia family? This has nothing to do with you, why don't you go back to sleep!"

"I didn't dare to stay at home alone, so I followed Auntie over here to help. Auntie Jia is so pitiful, she has fainted from crying several times!"

Li Bowen looked at her red and swollen eyes: "So you're crying with me? Look at your eyes, they're almost turning into peaches!"

"Really? Isn't it really ugly!?"

"Go back and wash your face and put a hot towel on your eyes!"

Li Mei held Li Bowen's hand and said, "Brother, come back with me. I don't dare!"

Li Bowen stood up and said to He Yuzhu, "I'm going to go back with my elder sister first! I'm also very sleepy. I'll go back and take a nap. Call me if you need anything."

He Yuzhu nodded: "What's the matter? Go back to sleep and get up early tomorrow morning!"

After returning to the front yard, Li Bowen arranged for his eldest sister first, then he went to wash up, and then went to his uncle's room to lie down in his clothes.

When he woke up, it was already bright. He got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out. When he reached the door, Li Bowen was stunned. Oh shit, where is my car?

"Big sister, big sister!" Li Bowen quickly shouted into the house!

Li Mei ran out quickly: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Where's my car? Is there a thief in our yard?"

"No, your car and all your belongings are in the central yard!" Li Mei pointed.

"What? She went to the Central Courtyard. Damn it! I was supposed to hand it over to the factory today. How come the Jia family used it? I'll go find her!" Li Bowen got anxious at that time. It wasn't enough to steal once, but she came for the second time. It seemed that he hadn't been beaten enough last time!

"Don't look for it, brother. It was my uncle who asked me to take the things away!"

"why?"

Li Mei pulled Li Bowen to sit down and began to tell him what had happened before. It turned out that at dawn, Jia Zhang came out to the toilet. When she passed by, she saw Li Bowen's tricycle parked in the front yard, and naturally she also saw the things on it.

With a flash of his eyes, he thought of the fact that he could use it at her family's funeral. So he returned to the central courtyard and ran to Yi Zhonghai and the others and started crying, saying how Jia Dongxu died tragically and how hard life was for his family, without even a decent banquet.

A bunch of people were crying for no reason. If you want to be respectable, you should just take out money to buy it! Jia Zhang was different. She quickly turned the conversation to Li Bowen, saying that he had brought back a cart of things and parked them in the front yard, which could be used for funerals.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly came up with a plan and said to Li Dahai, "Old Li, the Jia Zhang family is having a hard time. Dongxu's pension and funeral expenses haven't come yet. Look at the things we have prepared. They are really shabby. Why don't you use the things Bowen brought back first?"

"That won't work. The things Bowen brought back were purchased for the government, not for him personally!"

"We're neighbors, can you bear to watch Dongxu being buried like this? Besides, Jia Dongxu died of a work-related injury at the factory. The factory leaders won't say anything if we use some public funds for his funeral. Don't worry, I'll talk to Director Yang later. Okay, let's pay for Dongxu's funeral first! What do you think, Old Li?"

Yi Zhonghai has already said this, if Li Dahai still refuses, it would be really inhumane.

"Okay, then go back and talk to the factory manager. If he disagrees, you have to pay the difference!"

With Li Dahai's nod, the car was pushed directly to the backyard.
