Chapter 169 The Blood Money Involves Something Else
Secretary Zhang quickly replied, the Jia family really found a difficult ancestor, no wonder Yi Zhonghai, as Jia Dongxu's master, had to take the back seat!
"Okay, I believe you, Uncle San, give me a receipt!"
Not long after, Yan Bugui wrote a receipt and handed it to Jia Zhangshi, but she couldn't read at all and she had never attended any literacy classes. Helplessly, Yan Bugui gave the receipt to Qin Huairu, who could read and nodded after reading it.
Banggeng had not yet gone to school and could not read, so he took the receipt directly from Qin Huairu and read it out loud in front of everyone. Then the three uncles present, the Jia Zhang family, and Wang Luo all signed and put their fingerprints on it, making the whole process transparent.
Secretary Zhang took the receipt, took out forty yuan from his bag and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"Kneel down and take your dad home!"
He pressed Bang Geng to the ground, shouted loudly, and then took Jia Dongxu home to change clothes.
Wang Luo saw Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, and Sha Zhu carrying Jia Dongxu into the courtyard using the reed mats as door panels, then he stopped Officer Zhang and asked, "Is the crematorium still open at this hour? The weather is quite hot, and it will smell after being left there overnight!"
"Wang Xiaoying, the business is open until midnight. It's not too late to go there at this time!"
Several people entered the yard. The stick was too small, so they were afraid that he would be scared, so they knelt in the mourning shed.
"Aunt Jia, after changing clothes, let's go for cremation. It's a bit hot this day. Sister Jia, give the money to Uncle Three, and let him make the arrangements. Just ask him to register the accounts clearly!"
Qin Huairu immediately handed the funeral money she had just received to Yan Bugui.
"Bang Geng, take two packs of cigarettes and give them to Uncle San to the staff at the crematorium. Burn them properly and don't mess around. Clean up all the ashes!"
This matter must be arranged clearly. Each industry has its own rules. Although people are paid, no one knows what the tricks are.
After giving the instructions, several young men carried Jia Dongxu, who had changed his clothes, onto a cart and took him to the crematorium.
After finishing all these, he had nothing else to do here, so he went straight home with Li Jun and Liu Yue to prepare for dinner. He was busy for most of the day and had not eaten anything. He was starving.
"Why did Aunt Jia want you to come and preside over Jia Dongxu's funeral? Shouldn't Yi Zhonghai be in charge? This is a bit embarrassing. Who knows what kind of gossip will come out later. Yi Zhonghai will probably have to sit on the kang!"
At the dinner table, while eating, Liu Yue asked him puzzledly.
"How dare you ask? It's all your fault that you and my brother-in-law didn't even look around to see if there was anyone around when you were talking. You only cared about your own pleasure. Let me ask you, did you two discuss the matter of Yi Zhonghai withholding the living expenses of my brother-in-law and Yu Shui on the way?"
"Huh? Yes, I did, but does it matter?"
"Oh, what's the matter? Jia Dongxu heard about this and went back to tell his mother and his wife. Jia Dongxu got into trouble this time, and Jia Zhang was scared. She was afraid that Yi Zhonghai was not honest and would hide Jia Dongxu's blood compensation money. I didn't expect Jia Zhang to be very smart. He is far from being as simple as he looks. He knows that I don't like to take advantage of others, nor do I like to suffer losses, so he let me handle it. I really admire you two for causing trouble for me!"
Wang Luo was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Liu Yue.
"Oh my, be careful next time. Who knew Jia Dongxu would find out? I apologize to you. Come, eat meat. But, doesn't this also show your ability? Look how well you handled it. The older generation respects you, and the younger generation respects you too. My brother is the best!"
Liu Yue smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Wang Luo, saying nonchalantly.
"I thought so. So that's what's going on. Sigh, I don't know what to do with Yi Zhonghai in the future. If he quickly finds a way to adopt a child, it will be fine. But if he doesn't, humph, it will be difficult!"
Li Jun shook his head.
The three were eating and talking when there was a knock on the door. Wang Luo opened the door and saw that it was Old Sun and his grandson Sun Mingming who lived in the side room in the backyard who came to visit.
"Uncle Sun, Mingming, have you eaten? If not, just have a bite and come in quickly!"
He picked up Sun Mingming and invited Old Sun in.
"We've eaten, no need to rush!"
Seeing that the whole family was eating, Old Sun felt a little embarrassed, but Sun was staring at the meat and vegetables on the table without blinking. Seeing this, Liu Yue took the meat from him and started feeding him.
"Didn't this kid just eat?"
"It's okay, all children are like this, Uncle Sun, what's wrong with you?"
The grandfather and grandson were invisible people in the yard, passers-by, and rarely interacted with each other. They only said hello when they met. They must have something to do when they came to visit at night, so Wang Luo got straight to the point. "Xiao Luo, well, I just want to ask about some policy issues when my son passed away. When your brother Guangming passed away in an accident, the steel mill only gave him 300 yuan and a job, nothing else.
After reading what you said today, I realized that there is a lot of knowledge in it. You are fair and just, can you help us? Otherwise, we, the grandparents, don’t know what to do?”
Grandpa Sun spoke a little embarrassedly. He just wanted to come over and test the waters, but since they were not related, he didn't hold much hope.
"Just three hundred dollars and a job? Nothing else? What about the funeral expenses? Who conducted the funeral in the first place?"
Well, emotional tricks are common practice. No wonder the TV series said that the Jia family just gave some money and took over, but didn't say anything else. Wang Luo was so angry. Although he was a nobody, as a time traveler from the future, he couldn't bear to see these ordinary people suffer.
"That's all we were given. Nothing else. Everything was handled by Yi Zhonghai, including the funeral and subsequent compensation conditions. We don't understand these things. Yi Zhonghai is the master chef of the steel mill and is highly respected. We can only leave it to him!"
Old Sun said helplessly.
This is the disadvantage of having an elderly, weak, sick and disabled family without a pillar of support, because they have no say.
In this day and age, everything is centered on family. If something really happens, once the family steps in, who dares to move? Old Sun doesn't know anything, and it's just him and his grandson, so if nothing goes wrong, no one will take care of it!
Look at the Buddhist monks on the streets in the past, the old ones were so popular.
If the Buddha stole something, even if you find him, his family can't do anything to them. Don't even think about reporting it to the Security Bureau. The Buddha will stay in jail for a few months and will take revenge on your family when he comes out.
Do you really think that the money handed over by the Buddha is useless? When something happens, there are people to help out. There is no white, no black. They all rely on this to make extra money. Only Wang Luotian is not afraid of anyone and just starts fighting. First, he has a strong background, and second, he is very powerful. Both are indispensable.
"Damn it, you're taking this kind of money, Uncle Sun. Don't worry, I'll find someone to ask about the situation for you later and see where the problem is. I promise to give you an answer and return all of Brother Guangming's blood compensation money to you without missing a cent!"
Wang Luo didn't even hesitate about this matter and agreed without saying a word.
After Old Sun and his grandson left, Wang Luo threw away his job and planned to find Yi Zhonghai to ask him clearly, what kind of person is he? If you don't have a child, you can adopt one. You are not short of money. Why are you always harming people in the courtyard? You rely on the blood money to control others. This is not a decent person. Originally, there was no reason to punish him for the matter of Sha Zhu, but this time the matter of Old Sun's family gave him a reason. He wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. What kind of neighbor is he? It's just that we didn't find a way before. You have to admit your mistakes. This time, I will teach him a lesson.
"Are you going to look for Yi Zhonghai?"
As soon as Wang Luo stood up, Li Jun knew what he was going to do!
"Who else should I look for if not him? He has a criminal record for my brother-in-law's affairs. He must have been involved in this. I'm going to teach him a lesson this time!"
"Yes, give him a good show, and I'll go too!"
Liu Yue also stood up and planned to go with them.
"Sit down. If you two go in this state, you're bound to fight. What if Yi Zhonghai isn't involved? Take things one step at a time. Stay calm. Wait, I'll go over and ask!"
Li Jun held down Wang Luo and Liu Yue and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Lao Li, why are you here? Have you eaten? If not, just have a bite at my house and have a drink with me. I feel so bad!"
Yi Zhonghai suffered a huge blow today. The old man he had been looking forward to taking care of his parents is gone. So what? His mother and wife don't want him, their genuine master, to be the one to preside over the funeral. Both his face and his dignity are gone. He doesn't know how people outside will talk about him in the future. It's difficult!
Normally he could chat quite well with Li Jun, but when he saw him come in, he wanted to complain to Li Jun. He really regretted not listening to Li Jun and the deaf old lady and going to the orphanage to adopt two children. At that time, the cat and dog were right in front of him, but he didn't catch them. Now the two children are so happy.
"I ate, so I won't drink. I came here to ask you something, and you have to answer me truthfully. Otherwise, if Xiao Luo gets mad, I won't be able to control him. You know how powerful he is. It just so happens that he, Zhuzi, and Liu Yue are still upset about He Daqing's departure and living expenses, and they can't find a reason!"
Li Jun spoke first and scared him.
"Brother, that was a misunderstanding. I really did it for Zhuzi's own good. You see, as soon as he got married, I immediately returned the money to him and even gave him an extra 500 yuan!"
Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had suffered a great injustice. When this matter was mentioned, he immediately complained bitterly.
"Alright, don't bother with me. We all know what's right and wrong. I'm here to give you a way out. Just don't be so tactful. Otherwise, the three of them will beat you up, and you won't be able to stay in this yard anymore. You might even have to eat peanuts!"
Li Jun waved his hand to interrupt his complaint.
"Then tell me what's going on. I promise to tell you everything I know. I'll tell you everything you have to say."
Seeing that Li Jun didn't want to mention the issue of Sha Zhu's living expenses, he gave him a way out and immediately asked the reason.
