Rebirth 1955 starts from the hunter

While Lin Dong was fishing with his wife, a questioning session was taking place in the backyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

The protagonists are Aunt Yi and Director Wang from the Street Office.

"Comrade Li Cuifen, what time did you come to deliver the meal today?"

Aunt Yi's eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was sad. It was obvious that she had just cried, and cried very hard.

"Around 9:30, it's almost this time every day, I come to give the old lady food."

"What time did you leave yesterday? Did you notice anything wrong with the old lady?"

"Around six o'clock, dinner is prepared and we wait for Lao Yi to get home from get off work before serving the meal."

"Something's wrong? The old lady has been very thirsty lately. I boiled a pot of water for her before I left yesterday."

"From 6 o'clock last night to 9:30 this morning, have you been here during this time? Or have you seen anyone else come here?"

"No, Director Wang, I won't hide it from you. I've had severe chest pain recently. I have to boil some medicine when I get home, and I feel very tired."

Director Wang nodded. She had already smelled the scent of Chinese medicine on Aunt Yi.

At this time, the two security officers also finished checking the room.

"Director Wang, there are no signs of rummaging in the room. Our preliminary assessment is that the old lady got up at night to pour water and her forehead hit the corner of the table when she fell."

"It must have been quite serious at the time. According to the crawling marks on the ground, she must have wanted to open the door and call for help before she fainted."

"Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the door. Do you want to notify the police station to check again?"

Looking at the broken thermos and the enamel cup next to it, Director Wang considered for a moment and said, "It must have been an accident. Now that it has been confirmed, we can no longer waste national resources."

"Director Wang, can you let me handle the old lady's funeral? I promised to take care of her until the end of her life."

Yi Zhonghai looked sad and his eyes were dull, but he still forced himself to stand up.

The deaf old lady's present situation made Yi Zhonghai feel anxious, as if he saw his own future.

"Oh! Everyone else please step aside first."

When the neighbors heard what Director Wang said, they all walked away, leaving only Yi Zhonghai and his wife and the people from the street office.

"Master Yi, our neighborhood office knows something about the relationship between your family and the old lady. Over the years, you and your wife have indeed taken a lot of care of the old lady."

"The old lady has no children. If you want to see her off to the end of her life, our subdistrict office has no objection."

"I wonder if the old lady has any will with you?"

"A will? No, the old lady did mention it, but she passed away before she had time to do so..."

Yi Zhonghai understood what Director Wang meant with tears in his eyes.

The deaf old lady's house is private property, and she should have quite a bit of money in it. If there is no will, I'm afraid all of it will be confiscated.

Director Wang was somewhat embarrassed, even though everyone had seen how well Yi Zhonghai and his wife took care of the deaf old lady.

It is also impossible for him to inherit the old lady's things without a will.

"Director Wang, the old lady did say that it was during the Chinese New Year last year. Dongxu and Banggeng were also there at the New Year's Eve dinner at my house."

Aunt Yi quickly spoke up to help Yi Zhonghai.

"Some things require written evidence."

A security officer saw that Director Wang looked unhappy and stood up and said something.

Director Wang pointed to the large wooden box on the table and said, "Master Yi, Comrade Li Cuifen, these are the old lady's belongings. Please take a look and see if there is anything missing."

Yi Zhonghai didn't move and motioned Aunt Yi to go and check.

Aunt Yi opened the big wooden box and saw more than a hundred yuan, a dozen food coupons, fifteen or sixteen non-staple food coupons, a pocket watch, three letters, a house deed, identity certificate, seven or eight small wooden boxes, etc.

"Director Wang, can I open them all and take a look?"

Director Wang did not let Aunt Yi do it, and signaled the security officer of the street office to open it.

There were two pairs of jade bracelets, two pairs of gold bracelets, three gold hairpins and one jade hairpin in the eight small wooden boxes.

The letters were also checked to confirm that there was no will.

"You can look for other places in the house."

Seeing the frustration of Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Director Wang understood a little and gave them a reminder.

Aunt Yi was about to rummage through the bedding and cabinets when she was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"Director Wang, let's not talk about this. Even if there is no will, I am willing to see the old lady off."

Yi Zhonghai's words were firm and his expression was serious.

He couldn't shirk this matter, otherwise Director Wang would be the first one to look down on him.

After all, he had already said it before, and now he would not do it without inheritance. What kind of person has Yi Zhonghai become?

The most important thing is that Yi Zhonghai must set an example for Jia Dongxu.

Director Wang nodded. "Because the old lady has quite a bit of inheritance, what our subdistrict office can do for her funeral expenses is to approve as much as possible."

There are some things Director Wang didn't say. She believed Yi Zhonghai understood that the old lady's house and property should be forgotten.

When people from the street office came and started to register, emptied the deaf old lady's house and locked the door, the neighbors in the courtyard were in an uproar.

They all said they felt sorry for Aunt Yi and felt that it was not worth it for Yi Zhonghai.

As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know.

As it was getting close to evening, even He Daqing didn't dare to say anything strange when he saw Yi Zhonghai wearing mourning clothes and preparing to keep vigil for the deaf old lady.

All the young people in each family who were able to work were sent over by their parents to help.

Even Yan Bugui did not mention the bribe and directed the people to help build the mourning shed.

Over the years, Aunt Yi has done the laundry and cooking for the deaf old lady, taken care of her excrement and urine, cleaned the room, and bathed her several times a month. This is no different from serving her own mother.

Naturally, everything Aunt Yi did was seen by the neighbors.

Now Yi Zhonghai, without any benefit, is wearing mourning clothes for the deaf old lady. For a neighbor to do this, Yi Zhonghai and his wife have set a precedent.

The next morning, Lin Dong drove to the courtyard at just seven o'clock.

Unfortunately, I arrived too late and was unable to help.

Because the deaf old lady died accidentally, it was a wrongful death and there was no auspicious time, so she had to be carried out of the house before dawn.

This is also because the deaf old lady is old and has no parents. If her parents were still alive, their bodies would not be able to stay overnight at home.

Lin Dong walked around the Central Courtyard. Since Wu Shengli was not at home because he was helping to carry the coffin, he said hello to Yu Li at the door and prepared to leave to avoid gossip.

After thinking for a while, Lin Dong took out the keys to the other two rooms and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiao'e and I will be going abroad soon, so I'll trouble you two to use these rooms."

"Ah! This," - living in one room for free, she already owed the great man a favor. If she lived in three rooms, Yu Li was afraid that she would not be able to keep it.

Not to mention anything else, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi are both worried about not having a house to get married!

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. The Liu family and the Yan family did not dare to offend Lin Dong, for fear that they would cause trouble for the Wu family.

"Brother Lin Dong, how about you two discuss it after Shengli comes back?"

Seeing that Yu Li was not happy but a little panicked, Lin Dong understood a little.

Seeing that Yan Bugui's wife Yang Ruihua was secretly looking at this side, Lin Dong felt a little embarrassed.

I guess the Yan family must have asked about these two rooms a lot during this period.

Lending it to the Liu family and the Yan family is not a matter of whether Lin Dong is willing or not.

If Lin Dong borrowed the money, he would be helping both families, but it would also make it difficult for them to divide the house.
