Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"I may not be able to wait for him to come back, and I don't want to leave these things to him. Lao Liu and I don't owe him anything."

Director Wang said firmly, "Then I can't accept it either. This is the rule."

"Then Director Wang, you just spend the money and don't waste it." Aunt Meng said casually. As a dying person, she no longer cared about these things.

"Okay, after you die, I will donate this money in your and Liu Haizhong's name to subsidize orphanages, relief halls and other places."

Director Wang added, "Of course, as long as you are alive, you have the right to take the money back at any time."

Aunt Meng nodded. Director Wang took out a pen and paper and called out to the door, "Comrade Jiang Fan, please come in and write a note."

Jiang Fan walked in and, after learning the details, suggested to Director Wang, "I suggest we elect a few people from the courtyard to act as representatives. That way, when Liu Guangqi returns, we can explain this to him."

Director Wang nodded and called a few people outside.

The representative of the back court is Xu Damao, the representative of the middle court is He Daqing, and the representative of the front court is Yan Bugui.

Several people signed the agreement.

The content of the agreement is that Aunt Meng will hand over all the money in the family to Director Wang and ask him to help with her funeral arrangements.

The remaining money was donated in the name of Liu Haizhong and his wife. Aunt Meng reserves the right to withdraw the money at any time.

Anyway, not a penny was left for Liu Guangqi.

"Big sister, you...ah."

He Daqing wanted to give him some advice, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to say them.

The same goes for others. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Aunt Meng is in such a desperate situation that she might not even be able to breathe.

"Thank you, Director Wang. I'm a little tired."

"Then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow morning." Director Wang stood up and went out with a few people. When he reached the door, he looked back.

After leaving, Director Wang asked Xu Damao from a personal perspective to pay more attention to Aunt Meng's situation.

"Don't worry, Director Wang. I will definitely keep a close eye on Aunt Meng."

After Director Wang left, what Aunt Meng had just done was also spread through Yan Bugui's mouth.

The fact that Aunt Meng donated her family fortune and did not leave anything for Liu Guangqi also caused a lot of controversy.

Most people don’t understand what Aunt Meng did.

No matter how unfilial Liu Guangqi is, he is still his biological son.

There is no reason to give this property to someone else for free instead of giving it to my son.

Some people also felt very regretful. If they had known that Aunt Meng had such an idea, they should have visited her more often during this period. Maybe they could have taken on this funeral work.

By then, I can also inherit the Liu family's property, which is a good thing.

But it's too late now. Director Wang intervened personally and even dragged in the most capable family in the hospital. Who dares to move?

Not to mention, Xu Damao is now sitting on a small stool in front of the Liu family's door, just watching there, and you can't even come in.

"Da Mao, we want to go in and see Aunt Meng."

"no!"

"We just go in and talk to her."

"Talk? Why the hell were you doing that earlier? You can't talk now!"

“We’ve all been neighbors for so many years.”

"It won't work even if I, the King of Heaven, come!"

Xu Damao spoke in a loud voice and with a defiant attitude, not giving any respect at all.

Who knew what these people were going to do there? Did he have to keep an eye on them all the time?

It would be better not to let anyone in, it would be troublesome.

Xu Damao stayed there until late at night, and only went home after Jiang Fan came and told him that everyone else was asleep.

It’s not that he has any feelings for Aunt Meng, it’s mainly because this is Director Wang’s personal request.

That means Director Wang owes him a favor, and who knows when this favor may come in handy.

The next day, Xu Damao got up and knocked on Liu's door.

Aunt Meng was dressed neatly, holding the portrait in her bangs, lying on the bed, lifeless.

After coming out, Xu Damao shook his head slightly at the neighbors who gathered around him.

"They're gone. I'm going to the subdistrict office now to inform Director Wang."

After Xu Damao left, the neighbors couldn't help but sigh that someone else had left them.

Aunt Meng's funeral was presided over by Director Wang, who notified several of Liu Haizhong's apprentices and they all rushed over.

Just like they buried Liu Haizhong, they came to see Aunt Meng off.

Liu Haizhong can be said to be completely useless when it comes to teaching his son, but he is quite good at teaching his apprentices.

Every disciple is very filial to Liu Haizhong.

The funeral preparations took less than half a day. Director Wang went there personally to prepare the funeral items and quickly got everything ready.

Another day was given for condolences.

On the morning of the second day after Aunt Meng's death, the coffin was sealed and buried.

Bu Xiaozi, a disciple of Liu Haizhong, took his son's place and broke the pot.

Only after the filling was completed did Liu Guangqi hurried back to the courtyard.

Someone saw him and stopped him, saying, "Liu Guangqi, why did you come back just now? Your mother is gone."

"How could this happen? Didn't he faint due to excitement? How could he just be gone?" Liu Guangqi couldn't believe it. It had only been a few days, how could he just be gone?

"There was none yesterday morning. We've been busy all day. I guess the grave is ready now. I'll bury it with your father."

Liu Guangqi lowered his head and asked, "Where is my father's grave?"

In the east of the city, there is a new grave next to an old grave, and there are still a lot of yellow paper that has not been burned cleanly in front of the grave.

Liu Guangqi knelt in front of the grave, burned paper and kowtowed.

Now he is completely separated from his original family and no longer has to worry about Liu Haizhong finding him and controlling him.

After returning to the yard, Liu Guangqi also learned about how Aunt Meng handled her property before her death, and he had no objection to it.

After packing up some things, he left the courtyard and never returned.

In prison, Jia Zhang was beaten again.

This time, not only were her remaining teeth knocked out, but her hair and clothes were also torn to shreds.

Because one of her cellmates was about to die, the fear of death made her restless, so she had to take her anger out on Jia Zhang.

Although Jia Zhang was beaten, she felt a little happy.

"Another death, how good! Once everyone is dead, she can wield her power."

With this thought in mind, Jia Zhang fell asleep and never woke up after closing her eyes.

When the prison guards tried to contact Jia Zhang's surviving relatives, they discovered that no one had come to handle her funeral.

Finally, roll it up, burn it into ashes, and put it in a box.

The box hadn't been there for a few days when rats gnawed through it, and the ashes were scattered all over the ground and blown away by the wind.

Chapter 635: Death of Jia Zhang

When the news of Jia Zhang's death reached the courtyard, everyone who was originally feeling sad about Aunt Meng's passing suddenly became happy.

The sad mood was swept away.

"That old woman, Jia Zhang, has finally passed away. This is so exciting. Boss, let's make dumplings to celebrate today!"

"Jia Zhang is dead? How did she die? Wasn't she sentenced to two years? Never mind. We still have firecrackers hanging at home. Let's take them out and light them!"

"Not only is Jia Zhang dead, but according to reliable sources, she had her fingers and legs amputated and her teeth knocked out in prison. In the end, not even her body was recovered. It was simply shoved inside and burned! It was reduced to a pile of ash!"

Anyone's death in the yard would be mourned by some people, except Jia Zhang. Everyone would just be happy.

"Shufen, did you hear that? That old beast Jia Zhang is dead, and there's not even a corpse left. Your revenge has been avenged. Woo woo woo."

Sha Zhu hugged his wife's portrait and burst into tears. He was the happiest person after hearing the news.

He finally avenged his wife!

Yang Ergou was the same, crying hard. He just felt a little regretful that he couldn't kill that old sick woman Jia Zhang with his own hands.

The death of Jia Zhang allowed the people in the courtyard to celebrate the New Year in advance, so it can be said that her death was of some value.

In Qinjia Village, because of the news that Banggeng was still alive, they also contacted Qin Gang's family through the orphanage.

The door of the thatched hut was opened, and the midday sun stung Banggen's eyes. He really only had one eye that could see, and it wasn't very clear.

"Hey, Grandpa, what are you doing here? I don't have any lunch."

Qin Gang took a step back in disgust. The smell emanating from Bang Geng was extremely unpleasant to him.

"I'm here to tell you that your grandmother, my mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, has passed away."

"Oh, so he's dead. Is this kind of thing worth disturbing my sleep? You're really getting old and confused, Old Deng." Banggeng said indifferently, as if the dead person was just a stranger.

Qin Gang felt a chill in his heart. "This child is indeed cold-hearted, just like his mother."

"You better accept your fate, stay here obediently, and don't even think about running away. This way you can still have food to eat and survive.

If you sneak out, you will be an orphan, with no one to rely on."

Banggeng ignored him, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Banggeng opened his eyes only after the door closed again.

Now he is really alone. All the elders in his family are dead, and Xiaodang has been sold.

And the people of the Qin family were not considered elders or relatives to him.

Being kept in captivity like a pig or a dog, Bang Geng will not tolerate this injustice.

Looking at the restraints on his body, Bang Geng said to himself, "It's almost time, it's almost time. When I get out, I'm going to burn you all to death."

……

After Jia Zhang died, some people set their sights on Sha Zhu and wanted to find him a wife.

Someone had come to his house before, but at that time Sha Zhu was not happy when he thought that the murderer who killed Yang Shufen was still in prison and that he had two children at home.

Even if Jia Zhangshi had not died, he would not have considered remarrying.

At one point, the nearby matchmaker scolded Jia Zhang several times.

Now that Jia Zhang is gone, they have also noticed Sha Zhu, a high-quality remarried man.

It was difficult for Sha Zhu to find a wife before because he had a bad reputation and no elderly people at home to help him. Apart from his good job, he had no other good qualities.

But now it's different. Even though Sha Zhu has two children, there are still people willing to follow him.

Why? Because the conditions are good.

With He Daqing's return, the quality of family life improved immediately.

Now many people are eyeing Sha Zhu. Although most of them are young widows, there are also some older girls.

Seeing the matchmakers coming to his house one after another, Yang Ergou felt very uncomfortable.

Although these people were still rejected, he could also see the inner hesitation of Sha Zhu and He Daqing.

After thinking about it, Yang Ergou went to find Sha Zhu.

"Brother-in-law, I want to tell you something."

"Okay, Ergou, let's talk outside."

The two of them arrived at a secluded place, and Sha Zhu was the first to speak, "Er Gou, don't be too nervous. I haven't thought about getting married again yet. I promised your sister that I would take good care of you and teach you my skills."

Yang Ergou shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I have no objection to you getting married again, and no one has the right to stop you from doing this. I just want to ask you to find someone who can accept Fugui and Xiu and treat them well."
