The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

One day half a month later, He Yuzhu was drinking tea leisurely in his office when Ma Hua rushed in.

"Master, Lily is here." Ma Hua said.

"You're here just like that! You're so anxious. We just agreed on it a few days ago, and you're here today. I haven't talked to Director Li about the succession yet! What? Have you talked to your mother-in-law about it?" He Yuzhu said lightly.

"No, Master, it's not about succession. Lily said the old lady is not doing well and is waiting for you at home!" Ma Hua said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where is Lily?" He Yuzhu asked anxiously.

"It's outside!"

Hearing what Ma Hua said, He Yuzhu hurried out, and then he saw Yu Li waiting anxiously.

"Master, the old lady seems to be dying. You should go back quickly! She is waiting for you." Yu Li said.

"Okay, let's talk as we walk."

So He Yuzhu went out, rode his bicycle and took Yu Li to the courtyard.

On the way, Yu Li slowly started to talk. In the morning, the old lady didn't go out. When it was almost noon, the master's wife felt something was wrong and went in to see her. As a result, she saw that the old lady was barely breathing. After the master's wife called her a few times, the old lady opened her eyes and said that she was dying. She asked the master's wife to call Zhuzi back. Originally, the master's wife insisted on sending her to the hospital! But the old lady refused and kept calling Zhuzi back, so Yu Li came to the factory to find He Yuzhu.

Soon, He Yuzhu arrived at the yard. There were several women gathered in the middle courtyard in groups of three or four. As soon as he entered the gate, an old lady came to greet him and said, "Zhuzi, you are finally here. I'm afraid the old lady is really dying and has been waiting for you. Come in with me!" The old lady pulled He Yuzhu in without saying a word.

After entering the room, He Yuzhu saw that the old lady looked like she was about to die, so he hurried over and said, "Grandma, you! I'll take you to the hospital now." As he said that, He Yuzhu was about to pick up the old lady.

Seeing He Yuzhu, the old lady seemed to have a last burst of energy. She sat up and stopped him, saying, "My dear grandson, don't go to the hospital. It's useless. Grandma knows her own body. My time is up. There is no need to go to the hospital. I am just waiting for you to come back and explain my funeral arrangements to you."

"This..." He Yuzhu hesitated.

"My dear grandson, listen to me. I know my own body. If I can't survive today, you have to listen to me, your majesty," said the old lady.

"Okay...right!" He Yuzhu took a chair and sat next to him.

"My dear grandson, I have lived a contented life for the past ten years. My life has become better since I recognized you. Now I am dying, and I am not afraid to say it. I, the old lady, have been a little sorry for you before. The Yi family and I..."

"Grandma, don't talk about this. I understand, I understand everything, that's why I forced you to take sides." He Yuzhu stopped her.

"All right! My dear grandson, you understand. My life as an old lady has not been lived in vain. Go, take the small box from the box. It contains my life savings. Go and take it. I will give it to you in front of everyone."

Hearing what the old lady said, He Yuzhu did not hesitate. He stood up and walked over to take out the small box from the box that he was very familiar with in his previous life.

Although he was very familiar with the appearance of the box, he had no idea what was inside, because in his previous life, the box was taken over by Widow Qin as soon as he got it, and she claimed it as her own on the grounds that she was keeping it for him temporarily.

Later he asked what was inside. Widow Qin told him that there were only a few broken silver dollars in it. She was keeping them to make a silver bracelet for her son or grandson after Banggeng got married. So, he never asked about the box again after that.

After placing the box on the bed, the old lady said, "Open it!"

Hearing what the old lady said, He Yuzhu didn't hesitate. There was no one else in the room except the old lady, so he wasn't afraid even if there was someone else. So he opened the box directly.

As a result, he saw that there was really some jewels inside, two pairs of emerald green jade bracelets, a plate of transparent and bright jade beads, dozens of suckers lying quietly on the side, and two large yellow croakers shining with golden light underneath.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu was not too surprised, but he was angry in his heart. In his previous life, he was badly tricked by Qin Huairu.

The people around them, including the master's wife, Yu Li, and the aunt, were all shocked beyond words, their eyes widened like bells.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was calm, the old lady knew that he was not short of money. After all, his father-in-law was Lou Bancheng!

"My dear grandson, these things are what I left behind. I am handing them over to you today. They can be considered as dowries for my three lovely great-granddaughters! These three little ones have also brought me a lot of happiness. I didn't expect that I, a childless old lady, could experience the joy of having great-grandchildren before I die. I am content, really content. My life has not been lived in vain..." The old lady began to talk in a rambling manner.

After a long time, the old lady spoke slower and slower, and even stuttered a little, "My dear grandson, don't make a big fuss when grandma dies. Grandma knows that this is not popular nowadays. It will...will...bring...you...trouble. Find...find...a...better...cemetery for me. If...you...are...interested...please burn some paper for me on Qingming Festival, and take my three great-great-granddaughters with you, okay...?" After saying that, the old lady looked at He Yuzhu with a pleading look, as if she could not close her eyes unless He Yuzhu agreed.

"I remember, I will go!" said He Yuzhu.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the old lady's facial muscles relaxed, she closed her eyes with a smile, and then her head drooped.

"Old lady!" an old lady shouted, "The old lady is gone!"

"Zhu Zi, the old lady has passed away." The master's wife said, "Prepare for the funeral!"

"Well," He Yuzhu said calmly, "There are some old clothes in his box. Auntie, Master's wife, please help me put them on. I'll go to the street office to tell them and buy some coffin supplies."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, Auntie and I will clean up." said the master's wife.

"Zhu Zi, you go. I am familiar with this matter. I was the one who wore my mother-in-law's clothes back then. Don't worry." said an aunt.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"It's okay, it's no big deal! Go ahead, go ahead." The aunt said with a smile.

So He Yuzhu took the heavy little box and walked to his room in the backyard.
