Siheyuan: crossing the compound, not waiting

At 9 o'clock the next morning,

As usual, Yi Zhonghai came back from shopping in the market and brought breakfast to the deaf old lady's house.

When he came to the door, Yi Zhonghai knocked lightly on the door.

"Bang bang bang...,".

"Godmother, godmother...,".

"Bang bang bang..., bang bang...,".

Even after knocking and shouting for a long time, there was no movement inside.

Yi Zhonghai was a little puzzled, could it be that the deaf old lady was sick, why didn't she respond?
If it was normal, she would have already agreed!
Although the deaf old lady is hard of hearing, she can hear knocks and shouts every time breakfast is served.

Yi Zhonghai was a little anxious, and quickly tried to push the door open.

Unexpectedly, there was no bolt door inside, so Yi Zhonghai easily pushed the door open!
"Ah... Godmother, why are you lying on the ground."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai stepped into the room, he saw the deaf old lady lying motionless on the ground with the urinal overturned.

"Godmother, godmother, what's wrong with you."

Yi Zhonghai walked up to the deaf old lady in a few steps, probed her nostrils with his hands, and found that she had died.

"Come on, the old deaf lady has passed away."

"Neighbors, come here quickly."

No matter how courageous Yi Zhonghai is usually, he was frightened and panicked, shouting loudly with a trembling voice.

After a while, the big mom came over!
Seeing the deaf old lady lying upright on the ground covered in feces and urine, she couldn't help covering her nose and said with disgust.

"It stinks, this house is dirtier than a pigsty."

"It doesn't matter if you are dead, but you are not as good as a livestock in the pen."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he felt angry immediately, and replied angrily.

"Usually, you should take care of her. Is the godmother frozen to death? It's good now, she still hates her after everyone has left."

The big mom didn't let Yi Zhonghai go, she already had a problem with him.

"Is it your godmother or my godmother? Why should I serve this old thing?".

"You served her for most of your life, but in the end you ended up with a broken pigsty. Do you think you have inherited gold and silver?".

Yi Zhonghai was about to scold the aunt angrily, but he heard the footsteps of the neighbors coming.

"Too lazy to argue with you."!
The second aunt and the third mother entered the house at the same time!
"Hey, why did it happen like this."

"My God, is this still a place where people live?".

When the two aunts first entered the room, they also looked disgusted, and kept fanning their noses with their hands.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurried over and said sadly.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, both of you, please help clean the room, and put on the godmother's clothes with my family."

The two aunts covered their noses and nodded in agreement because of the affection of their neighbors.

Although the three aunts live in the same courtyard, they rarely get together.When we met at the deaf old lady's house today, we naturally had a lot to talk about.

They complained while cleaning the house, chatting with each other with joy.

After a while, the neighbors rushed over one after another!

When they learned that the deaf old lady had passed away, they all expressed their opinions and started talking!
"The deaf old lady lived in such a mess for half of her life, and she is completely relieved when she dies.".

"Look at her house, it's dirtier than a pigsty. If a person lives like this, he might as well die."

"It can't be said that way, everyone has time to grow old."

"Keep your voice down, don't let the uncle hear you, the deaf old lady is his godmother after all."

"Afraid of a hammer, let's just tell the truth. If he is afraid of our discussion, he should take good care of the deaf old lady."

Neighbors gathered outside the house and talked a lot, but none of them offered to help with the work.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai came out of the room.

The crowd immediately fell silent!
Yi Zhonghai walked up to the neighbors and said with a sad face.

"Neighbors, my godmother unfortunately passed away this morning. Please help me to deal with the old man's funeral.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai, the neighbors spoke one after another.

"My lord, please forgive me, we are all here, just say hello if necessary."

"The deaf old lady is gone, we must help."

"Grandpa, don't be so polite to neighbors, everyone is here to help."

Yi Zhonghai was so moved that he made such arrangements for them.

After hearing this, the neighbors started to work according to Yi Zhonghai's arrangement.

Some helped move tables, chairs and benches, some helped move coffins, and some helped purchase items...! ! !
three o'clock in the afternoon,

Under the non-stop busy work of everyone, all the work was finally finished.

Yi Zhonghai originally planned to hold a meeting after the young people in the compound got off work and ask everyone to ask for a day off tomorrow to help bury the deaf old lady.

But the aunt pulled him aside and reprimanded him severely.

"You are such a fucking fool. You spent so much to take care of her when you were alive, and you have to spend so much money when you die. Do you really think you are a landlord and local tyrant?".

"The funeral must be kept simple. I will take it out to bury it tonight. You have to postpone it until tomorrow, and you will squander all the savings at home."

Although Yi Zhonghai was very unhappy in his heart, he was no more stubborn than a big mother, so he nodded in agreement.

Yi Zhonghai usually presides over weddings and funerals in the courtyard, but this time the deaf old lady passed away.Although he is a filial son, he still acts as the manager.

He called his neighbors together and made a solemn announcement.

"Neighbors, according to the custom, a funeral should be held for the godmother. But the current situation is not optimistic, and I dare not make the scene too big."

"So I plan to keep things simple and bury the godmother overnight, so that the old man can be buried in peace as soon as possible.".

"When the young people come back from get off work, we will send funerals and bury the old people."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the neighbors all muttered in low voices.

"This old thing, I'm afraid it will cost a little more money. The house of the deaf old lady belongs to him, but the funeral is done in such a hasty way."

"Isn't it? The deaf old lady left behind more than just a house. I heard that there is also a bag of gold and silver jewelry."

"Yes, yes, yes, when cleaning the room, the second aunt and the third aunt also saw it, and now Yi Zhonghai and his wife picked it up."

Although the neighbors talked behind their backs, no one dared to say anything in person.They all said that in special times, it would be great to be able to bury the deaf old lady smoothly!

After all the young people in the compound came back, Yi Zhonghai really arranged for everyone to prepare a handcart, put the coffin on it and pulled it out overnight for burial!
Chen Jianjun's family,

The three of Chen Jianjun are eating dinner!

Although they knew the news of the deaf old lady's death, they didn't go to help.

This dead old woman bullied Chen Jianjun's parents when he was very young.

After the death of his parents, he often played tricks behind his back and made things difficult for Chen Jianjun.

Now that the old guy has finally returned to the west, Chen Jianjun is too happy to be happy, how can he help.

"Xiao'e, this bad thing has finally been punished, I am really happy."

Lou Xiaoe nodded with a smile!
"Yeah, this kind of person should have died long ago."
