A chill immediately passed through his heart. Yan Bugui's expression became serious and he solemnly warned: "Third Aunt, you have to be more careful and don't get too close to the Jia family. Banggeng's death is definitely not simple! Our family must protect ourselves first!"

He knew that the Jia family or Bang Geng must have offended some powerful person, otherwise ordinary people would not do such a cruel thing.

The Jia family is now like a volcano. Any slight contact may cause it to erupt and implicate them, with disastrous consequences.

Hearing this, the third aunt agreed: "Old Yan, I know what you said, but you can hardly imagine that when the small coffin passed through our front yard, the smell was suffocating."

"It's early summer now, and the three-day mourning period will make the whole central courtyard unbearable with the pungent smell! If they hadn't lit incense to dispel and neutralize the stench, I'm afraid even our front yard would be unbearable!" The third aunt looked away from the cooking pot, suddenly feeling nauseous, and said with worry.

But no one in the courtyard was willing to be the first to go to the Jia family to argue.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also returned to the courtyard from the steel rolling mill. As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, he also smelled the stench, the smell of burning paper money and burning incense. His originally happy mood became solemn. It was obvious that Yi Zhonghai guessed something.

Sure enough, when Yi Zhonghai walked into the central courtyard, he saw the mourning hall set up in front of Jia Zhang's house and a child's coffin. His guess was confirmed.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be sad and walked up to the depressed Qin Huairu and asked: "Huairu, what happened to your family..."

In fact, his current purpose is just to collect information and understand the situation of Jia Banggeng's case on the police side.

When Qin Huairu saw that the person coming was Yi Zhonghai, she wanted to throw herself into his arms to find some comfort, but then she thought of her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, who was beside her, so she forced herself to hold back and did not move.

She said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Yi, Bang Geng's body has been found by the police... He was buried in a pit in a small forest in the wild."

"The police are doing their best to investigate now. I hope they can give us an explanation as soon as possible. But my son Banggeng passed away at such a young age. It's so pitiful..."

"He lost his life at such a young age, before he had even experienced the vastness of the world. I don't know who could be so cruel and do such a thing... so vicious..."

Qin Huairu became more and more emotional as she spoke, and finally she couldn't help but fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

"Don't be too sad. You have to take care of the baby in your belly. After all, a dead life cannot be brought back to life." After learning that the police did not find any clues, Yi Zhonghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the miserable expressions of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, and said in indignation, "What else do the police need to investigate about the real murderer who killed Bang Geng?"

"There is no doubt that this guy He Yuzhu did it!"

"He has long been fed up with the neighbors in our courtyard!"

"Look, since He Yuzhu became rich, what happened to those who crossed him?"

Yi Zhonghai said bad things about He Yuzhu, and even believed it himself. His eyes gradually became sharper and he continued: "Let's put aside other people and talk about the Liu family."

"Do you really think someone like Liu Haizhong can get in touch with the hidden spy organization?"

"How many years has he lived in our courtyard?"

"We have lived together for decades, and I don't believe that Liu Haizhong is really an enemy spy!"

"But what is his current fate?"

"Now Liu Haizhong has become a complete lunatic! On the surface, this case says that He Yuzhu was framed, but I think it might be the opposite. Liu Haizhong must have been used by He Yuzhu!"

"Just because of Liu Guangqi's inappropriate behavior and the feud with He Yuzhu, the Liu family has been destroyed!"

"Now it seems that your Jia family will also suffer the same fate!"

"Because He Yuzhu is a petty person, he will never let his enemies go easily!"

Yi Zhonghai pushed all the responsibility onto He Yuzhu, this was part of his plan.

It was Yi Zhonghai who killed Bang Geng. Would he admit that he was the murderer?

Therefore, He Yuzhu is the best scapegoat. He hates He Yuzhu in the first place, and now he is using Jia Banggeng's death to fight back against He Yuzhu. And the knife is Jia Zhangshi! Whether it succeeds or not, it will be good for him!

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's analysis, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were shocked. It seemed that Banggeng's death might really have been caused by He Yuzhu.

Because since Jia Dongxu's father passed away, the only one who had a bad relationship with their family was He Yuzhu, especially since Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu had been fighting since childhood.

Qin Huairu was also confused about this. If it was really He Yuzhu who attacked Banggeng, it would be too scary!

Is He Yuzhu really going to destroy the Jia family just because of a simple grudge involving a stolen bicycle?

Jia Zhang was now controlled by Yi Zhonghai. She asked angrily, "Yi Zhonghai, you unilaterally said that He Yuzhu was the culprit? But do you have any real evidence?"

"Even if He Yuzhu is the murderer, what can we do now? Think about it, He Yuzhu has such a good relationship with the police, can we touch him?"

Jia Zhang originally suspected that He Yuzhu was the murderer, but after Yi Zhonghai's analysis, she became more and more certain of it.

However, Jia Zhang was afraid of death and she knew very well that she could not confront He Yuzhu head-on now. She did not want to easily find him without any evidence.

After all, seeing the miserable scene in Liu Hai's eyes, she really didn't want to follow in the Liu family's footsteps.

Besides, as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke He Yuzhu, perhaps the situation would not develop to the point where his family would be broken up and his life would be ruined.

Other residents in the courtyard also had disputes with He Yuzhu, but aren’t they safe and sound now?

Jia Zhang thought that Dongxu was still serving his sentence in prison, and now Lian Banggeng had also fallen victim to He Yuzhu's murder. According to common sense, He Yuzhu's resentment towards the Jia family should have been released.

Qin Huairu also agreed: "Uncle Yi, my mother is right."

"Even if we now know that He Yuzhu is the real murderer, what good will it do?"

"Aren't we helpless against him?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "You are so stupid. I now know that we are not strong enough to compete with He Yuzhu."

"But I tell you all this because I hope everyone in our courtyard - especially your Jia family - will be alert to He Yuzhu's movements."

"Who knows if He Yuzhu is plotting against us behind our backs!"

"As for the fact that we have no evidence that He Yuzhu attacked Banggeng, we can only hope that God will open his eyes and punish He Yuzhu!"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he comforted Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi and then left the central courtyard.

Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Yi Zhonghai knew that his goal had been achieved - he had finally gotten the support from the Jia family.

Sure enough, not long after, Qin Huairu thought of what Yi Zhonghai said before, which reminded her of Jia Dongxu who was still serving his sentence in prison. She couldn't help but ask Jia Zhang: "Mom, should we tell Dongxu about the news of Banggeng's death?"

"It may be true that He Yuzhu has begun to take revenge on our Jia family. After all, we are all women. We should be able to avoid the trouble caused by He Yuzhu if we act carefully."

"But Dongxu is different. He is still serving his sentence in prison, and it is well known that He Yuzhu has a close relationship with the police. If the Jia family is really targeted by He Yuzhu, it will be very easy for him to take action against Dongxu, especially when Dongxu doesn't know about it yet.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately understood what Qin Huairu meant and said, "Huairu, you are right! Dongxu is currently in labor reform in the mining area, and He Yuzhu can easily arrange for an "accident" to occur. Dongxu must be informed of this! So that he can prepare in advance!"

However, Jia Zhang was still conflicted: "But is it really appropriate to tell Dongxu about Banggeng? After all, he is already suffering in prison! If Dongxu, who is already suffering from inner torture, knew about Banggeng's matter, I'm afraid it would cause his mentality to collapse!

In this regard, Jia Zhang, who knows her son Dongxu's character, hesitated and said, "I know Dongxu's love for Banggeng very well. He used all the money from selling He Yuzhu's bicycle to buy new clothes and pork for Banggeng."

Now Jia Zhang felt very embarrassed to tell her son the news that Banggeng was in trouble.

Seeing her mother-in-law Jia Zhang's hesitation, Qin Huairu said firmly: "We must tell Dongxu about this!"

"He will surely gradually accept the fact that Bangteng has left us in prison, and he will be more cautious in prison!"

"If we conceal this from Dongxu and just ask him to be careful in prison, he probably won't take it seriously at all!"

Qin Huairu knew that this was a bitter decision that had to be made, but she also knew that Jia Dongxu's life was also important.

Telling Dongxu the bad news of Banggeng's death will definitely be a blow to him, but with his hatred for He Yuzhu as his strength, he will be more cautious in prison.

However, at this moment, the Jia family had no choice.

Because Dongxu must be alive, he is the pillar of her family.

Even if faced with a dangerous environment, telling him can at least help prevent it.

If Yi Zhonghai's words unfortunately come true, then Jia Dongxu will be in danger in prison.

The current choice is helpless and is only for the sake of protecting Jia Dongxu's safety.

Just as the two were discussing the time to visit Jia Dongxu, Xu Damao, who had just returned from get off work, came over and said to them, "I say, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang!"

"Can you please stop pulling that thing and just burn the stem of the stick?"

"This little stick terrier has been dead for a long time?"

??

"Can't you smell this pungent smell?"

After saying this, Xu Damao covered his nose and waved his hands to dispel the smell, with obvious displeasure written on his face.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately got angry and asked, "Xu Damao, what are you talking about!"

"The funeral was tacitly approved by the courtyard. How can you meddle in other people's business?"

"When your father passes away, I will naturally not stop you from setting up the memorial tablet!"

"Now go away and stop making a fuss!"

Jia Zhang was already full of anger. Although she found it hard to accept the unfortunate experience of her grandson Banggeng, she had no choice but to accept her fate after all, He Yuzhu was now so powerful.

However, for the little projectionist Xu Damao in front of her, he actually dared to be arrogant in front of her, which was beyond her tolerance!

"Jia Zhang, are you looking for death?"

"How dare you say my father will die a hundred years later? Are you cursing my father's death by saying this?"

"I'm telling you, Jia Zhang, even if you die, my dad will be fine!"

The angry Xu Damao originally made a suggestion with good intentions, but ended up being rejected.

 …

After hearing Xu Damao's remarks, Jia Zhang barked like a mad dog and even cursed Xu Damao's father. He was simply courting death!

Jia Zhang threw the paper money in her hand to the ground, stood up, put her hands on her hips, stared at Xu Damao and cursed: "Who do you say will die? If you have the guts, kill me now! Otherwise, you are a coward! A bastard! What's the point of yelling here?"

"If you want to take action, then come on. If you're just talking, then get out of here! I'll burn some paper for you later, you never know when you'll need it!"

As a veteran troll in the Beijing courtyard house, Jia Zhang's professional level of trolling is not comparable to that of ordinary amateurs.

After a heated argument, Xu Damao's face turned red with anger. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to hit someone.

Xu Fugui, who arrived later, spoke at the right time: "Xu Damao, what are you going to do?"

"Come back quickly!"

He first severely rebuked his son, then turned to Jia Zhang and said, “Jia Zhang, I’m sorry, my Xu Damao is ignorant.

Don't bother with him! "

"I'll teach him a lesson when we get back! You guys continue with your business, we'll leave first."

After saying this, Xu Fugui turned around and walked home, leaving Xu Damao at a loss.

Xu Damao followed him and murmured in confusion: "Dad, why didn't you let me teach Jia Zhang a lesson? She just cursed you to death."

"Besides, there are only two women left in their family, and you are the eldest in the courtyard, why should you be afraid of them!"

Xu Damao couldn't understand Xu Fugui's concession to the Jia family this time.

"Now Jia Dongxu is in jail, and now even Bang Geng has been killed!"

"It's obvious that someone is causing trouble for the Jia family!"

"We'd better stay away from the Jia family, so as not to affect us!"

Some of Xu Fugui's words made Xu Damao suddenly realize and he nodded.

On the morning of the second day after the Banggeng mourning hall was set up, Qin Huairu was still there burning paper money.

Jia Zhang went directly to the mine where Jia Dongxu was doing his labor. This was her second time visiting the prison, and she was quite familiar with all the procedures.

After the meeting, Jia Dongxu looked stronger and more energetic than the last time they met.

Jia Zhang said with concern: "Dongxu, your mental state seems to be better than the last time we came to see you, and your body is stronger too!"

Jia Dongxu, in a good mood, smiled and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, now I am the leader of the mining team, so my work is relatively easy!"

"It made me a little fatter, not stronger!"

"Besides, if I get to know the mine well, I won't be bullied by other workers anymore!"

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Also, I can get a salary working in the mine now. I have already made quite a bit of money this month!"

Jia Dongxu has now completely figured things out, and he plans to undergo reform in prison.

I heard that criminals who behave well can hope to have their sentences reduced every year. His sentence was three years in prison, but if he works hard, he might be able to get out in two years.
