Chapter 135 Parting on bad terms
If we were to say who has the strongest sense of crisis in the current courtyard houses, it would undoubtedly be the Jia Zhang family.
With the death of Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang once again experienced the fear of being helpless?
To be honest, this feeling is not pleasant, but looking at her young and beautiful daughter-in-law, Jia Zhang has no confidence at all. She is not confident that Qin Huairu will not remarry.
If she put herself in her shoes, she couldn't do it either. It would be perfect if she could control Qin Huairu and prevent her from remarrying.
Therefore, we can only do our best to keep our money in our own hands so that we can feel safe.
Even if Qin Huairu passed away in the future, her and Banggeng's daily lives could be guaranteed. Of course, Xiaodang and the posthumous child were not taken into account by Jia Zhang.
Now that Jia Zhang has made up her mind, how could she possibly come up with money to hold Jia Dongxu's funeral?
Jia Zhang was certain that Qin Huairu would find a way, and it was most likely that Yi Zhonghai would be the one to pay in the end.
With the title of Jia Dongxu's master, Jia Zhangshi still didn't believe that Yi Zhonghai could just leave it alone?
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "MMP," but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. The steel mill had stated that the 350 yuan included Jia Dongxu's funeral expenses.
Judging from Jia Zhang's attitude, she is not going to take it out.
Of course, Yi Zhonghai is not willing to pay this money. I accepted you, Jia Dongxu, as my apprentice so that you can send me off, not so that I can send you off.
He is not his biological son. He had originally planned to leave his funeral affairs to Jia Dongxu, but he ended up sending Jia Dongxu away. What the hell is this?
I invested so much and thought my future was secure, but you left first.
Fortunately, no one knew about it when he brought the money back. So even if a donation was organized, people would not overreact for the sake of the orphans and widows of the Jia family, right?
Yi Zhonghai thought of a solution, but without saying a word or wasting time arguing with Jia Zhangshi, he prepared to discuss it with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.
Meeting a family like this who had no temper at all, one can imagine Yi Zhonghai's inner despair and irritability.
It's a huge joke that we have cultivated so much and invested so much, and now it's all gone.
Although he had saved some money separately, even though Yi Li didn't know about it, he didn't have much.
He is the one who has suffered the most losses in recent years. His conflicts are mainly with his children, which is caused by their acquired education.
Yi Zhonghai didn't know that Yang Wu happened to hear what the three of them were discussing.
Yi Zhonghai was the only one speaking, while the other two uncles remained silent, neither supporting nor opposing.
Yang Wu went home and talked about it as an after-dinner topic, but Yang Li felt that something was wrong with his casual remark.
The factory gave funeral expenses and pensions, and she was the one who handled it. How come there was no money to hold Jia Dongxu's funeral?
"Brother, that's not right. I am the one who handled the settlement payment today.
Yi Zhonghai took away the 300 yuan pension and 80 yuan funeral expenses.
The funeral expenses were originally 120 yuan, but the leader approved 80 yuan, saying that Jia Dongxu did not qualify as having died in the line of duty.
Why are they still discussing donating money to the Jia family to hold funerals?"
"Oh, little sister, are you telling the truth?"
Yang Wu originally planned to donate a certain amount of money. The pillar of his family had fallen, and he felt compassion. Unexpectedly, he got a big reward.
"Of course it's real, I did it myself and got it back this afternoon."
"Little sister, tell your cousin's husband about this matter and let him know about the situation. We will just act according to circumstances during the meeting tonight.
I am a buyer and you are an accountant. My cousin's husband is a bit of a nobody, so we just live our own lives and try to reduce our presence as much as possible.
So that some people won’t be able to do anything to my cousin’s husband and will find fault with us?
If we are being plotted against, do you think my cousin-in-law will take care of it or not?"
"Brother, I know my limits"
The He family finally came back in the evening. He Yukai knew that the Jia family had gone to the factory, and that Jia Dongxu's aftermath should have come to an end. It was time to go home. He couldn't hide forever, right?
I hid away yesterday because I was afraid that I would have to deal with the aftermath!
As soon as He Yukai came back, he heard from Cai Wenqing that the Jia family had taken back the pension and funeral expenses.
Yi Zhonghai donated money to the entire hospital to arrange Jia Dongxu's funeral.
Hearing this news, He Yukai was disgusted.
What good things did Jia Dongxu or the Jia family do for everyone in the compound? Is it worth asking the compound to donate money to hold the funeral?
It was so ridiculous that Yi Zhonghai was completely confused.
"Wife, who told you that? We just got back."
"Yang Li said that. She whispered it to me when I brought the child in."
"Who is Jia Dongxu to us? He wants us to pay for his funeral."
"Haha, you should go ask Yi Zhonghai."
He Yukai thought for a moment and decided that he shouldn't take the lead in opposing anything.
The relationship between the Jia family and him has been very bad to begin with. If he were to take the lead, it would be seen as retaliation.
At this time, the two widows were definitely a vulnerable group, and if rumors spread, it would be very unpleasant.
If used by Yi Zhonghai, the harm will not be serious and will not be able to withstand the impact.
Thinking of this, He Yukai asked He Yuzhu to cook and he strolled to the backyard.
After talking to Xu Damao and making arrangements, we can just wait and see.
After dinner, the sound of gongs, which was characteristic of courtyard gatherings, rang out again. The He family looked at each other and realized that Yang Li’s information was indeed accurate. There would be something exciting to watch in the evening.
"Today we are holding a meeting in the courtyard for one topic: Jia Dongxu is in trouble, and we cannot just sit back and watch.
Our compound was rated as one of the four outstanding compounds because of our mutual help, unity and friendship.
The Jia family is in a very special situation now. Those of us with money can donate money, and those with things can donate things. At least we should handle Jia Dongxu's funeral, right? As an uncle, I will donate ten yuan."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui with a murderous look in his eyes and said, "Damn it, I gave you Yan Bugui five dollars just to set an example, but you don't cooperate. What's the point?"
Everyone looked at the He family and the remaining two uncles. The He family is basically the weather vane now. If the He family doesn't donate, no one else will be willing to donate. In the past, the person with the highest income in the courtyard was an uncle, but now it's the He family.
"Old Liu, are you two going to express your feelings?"
Yi Zhonghai gnashed his teeth and looked at the two old guys. "You don't donate, and you still expect others to help you?" Yan Bugui, you old man, do you want to embezzle it?
"Old Yi, let everyone donate first, and we will donate last."
Liu Haizhong didn't take Yi Zhonghai seriously. He is the leader now, what right do you, a first-level fitter, have to show off?
"Xiao Kai, do you want to express your opinion as well?"
Yi Zhonghai did not dare to threaten the He family. The He family would definitely know about the compensation when they went to work on Monday.
If we threaten him now, and the He family reports it to the leader, we will be in big trouble.
"Wait, uncle, I have something to say."
Xu Damao spoke quickly when he saw Yi Zhonghai pointing the finger at He Yukai. As for Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, they obviously just wanted to watch the show.
There is no need to offend the He family, it's not worth it.
When Yi Zhonghai saw the troublemaker Xu Damao, his face suddenly turned dark. It must be no good when this guy showed up.
But as a big boss, you can't stop people from speaking, right? Cai Wenqing's high hat is still fresh in my memory. "Da Mao, go ahead and speak."
"Uncle, Jia Dongxu had an accident in the factory. I know some rules. The factory should have provided funeral expenses and pensions.
If you stop donations now, it means the factory doesn't care, which is not acceptable.
Most of the people in our compound are employees of the steel rolling mill. Let's go to the factory now to find out.
Jia Dongxu paid the price of his life in the steel mill. The factory can’t just ignore it, right? "
When everyone else heard what Xu Damao said, their eyes lit up. That’s right!
They didn't want to donate in the first place, and when they saw Yi Zhonghai donating, they thought they would have to bleed today. Then Xu Damao pointed out the problem.
Everyone's life was already hard. In difficult times, it was good enough not to starve to death. How could there be any surplus food?
Now that Xu Damao has said this, there is definitely no need to donate.
After hearing what Xu Damao said, Yi Zhonghai knew he was in trouble. This wouldn't do. He would be exposed if he went to the steel mill.
He was the one who handled this matter. If it gets out of hand, it will be considered donation fraud and a big deal.
"Uncle, I remember giving you Jia Dongxu's pension and funeral expenses. I was the one who handled the formalities. Did you forget?
You turned around and gave Jia Zhangshi 380 yuan, 80 yuan of which was funeral expenses."
At this time, Yang Li stepped forward and ran to the steel mill. She was also responsible.
"Yes, yes, yes. I was in a trance at the time and thought it was only the pension. Yang Li said it included funeral expenses. You see, I forgot about it in my haste."
Everyone saw Yi Zhonghai's face change and he showed a disdainful smile. Have you forgotten it?
My goodness, you only have 380 yuan and you still want everyone to donate to the Jia family. You are such a black-hearted person, you are not a human being.
"You are such heartless people. My family is in such a difficult situation. Dongxu's pension is for my retirement. Dongxu, look at this. These black-hearted people have no sympathy.
You left us an orphan and a widow, how can we live? Yang Li, you slut, you gave birth to a son without an asshole."
When Yang Wu heard Jia Zhang scolding Yang Li, he got so angry that he pulled Yang Li away.
Yang Liyou had to tell the truth. If the money she paid for the settlement was brought to the steel mill, what would happen? It was as if she had embezzled Jia Dongxu's funeral expenses.
Everyone was very angry when they saw the Yang brothers and sisters leaving. Wasn't the Jia family committing fraud?
He clearly took the money but is still denying it. If Yang Li hadn't told the truth, looking at his attitude, he would definitely have made a donation today.
In the current situation, except for a limited number of families, who else has an easy life?
Yang Li witnessed Jia Zhang's firepower for the first time and gained a new understanding of Jia Zhang's hypocrisy.
Yi Zhonghai's moral kidnapping is not obvious, so what? As soon as he meets the Jia family, he can't sit still.
Now that I am not starving to death, everything is fine. I don’t have any extra money to donate to the Jia family.
Isn’t it obvious that the tenants are giving donations to the landlords?
The donation conference ended in failure and ended in unhappiness. Of course, the Jia family was the only one who was unhappy, but everyone else was still happy.
Yi Zhonghai had no choice. He couldn't hide the fact that he received the pension and funeral expenses. It was because he forgot that Yang Li was an accountant in the finance department.
He still accepted the money from others, and if they didn't say anything, you still wanted the He family to take the lead. Now He Yukai didn't even have to take part in it himself, and Xu Damao and Yang Li prevented the meeting from continuing.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, there is no other way. You must quickly take out fifty yuan, otherwise I will not be able to take care of your family's affairs.
The current situation is still under control. If it spreads to the factory, you may lose your job."
Jia Zhang originally wanted to continue making trouble, but when she thought of that work station, she compromised.
If you want to tie Qin Huairu down, that workstation is still very important.
As for how to operate? Jia Zhang has already thought it through clearly. The way to survive is always a topic, and Jia Zhang naturally has her own way. After Yi Zhonghai got the money, he asked Qin Huairu to call
For many years, Yan Bugui was in charge of purchasing for weddings and funerals in the courtyard. After Yan Bugui came, Yi Zhonghai made his request, asking him to try his best to buy a coffin and take Jia Dongxu to the countryside to bury him.
Now everyone in the city has to be cremated, and Jia Zhang will never agree to this.
As for the chef, you still have to find He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu is the chef for all the weddings and funerals in the courtyard.
But thinking about paying, Yi Zhonghai decided to negotiate on his own. If he had to pay, he would pay for it himself. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble Jia Zhang would cause.
The He family was also discussing this. He Yukai thought that since they were all from the same compound, it would be better to ask for money, otherwise it would break the rules, and there would be no order without rules.
You don’t want money, but if something happens at someone else’s home in the future, will you accept it or not?
Besides, the money may not necessarily be paid by the Jia family, because there is still Yi Zhonghai, the unfortunate victim!
The current He Yuzhu is no longer the same as before. He Yukai can understand how to operate immediately after he gives a brief introduction.
Speak of the devil, here comes Yi Zhonghai's knock on the door and call out.
He Yukai gave a wink and He Yuzhu walked out immediately.
There is a woman at home now, so Yi Zhonghai cannot be allowed in late at night.
What if Yi Zhonghai says something shocking and disgusts his family?
My daughter He Yuke is still young, so it's not easy to let others in at night. What if someone rushes at me? I still have to be particular about it.
"Zhu Zi, the Jia family's funeral still needs you to be the chef."
"No problem, uncle, just pay according to the rules."
"Zhu Zi, look at the current situation of the Jia family, can't they just not ask for money?"
"That won't work, uncle. Every industry has its own rules. I dare not break the rules. My master will be punished."
"Tell me the number"
Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to argue. It was pointless to talk, so why waste his breath.
"Three dollars a table"
Yi Zhonghai estimated that three or four tables would be enough, so he agreed and gave the money to He Yuzhu.
Now Yi Zhonghai doesn't dare to challenge He Yuzhu. He has been traumatized by what He Yukai did to him. He will talk about it when the time is right!
Yi Zhonghai regretted very much that he had not helped the Jia family to plot against the He family. Otherwise, things would never have come to this point.
Considering the respect Zhuzi had for him in the past, how could it be any worse in the future?
One must be upright throughout his life, as no one knows how others will develop.
Don't step on someone when they are at their lowest point, and don't praise them when they are at their highest point.
Early the next morning, Yan Bugui asked for leave from school and took the people in the courtyard to buy a coffin.
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also took leave to work at the Jia family. The others came after get off work. The Jia family didn't have many relatives, so there were not many people.
As for Qin Huairu's parents' home, they were not notified because there was not enough time. Qin Huairu had no children, so she couldn't ask her mother-in-law or father-in-law to come!
The coffin was loaded onto a carriage and sent away early in the morning. Several young men went to the funeral, and the Jia family followed crying.
The Siheyuan has returned to its previous state. Not to mention, having a mourning hall makes it seem depressing. Even the children are very quiet. Now the Siheyuan has once again returned to its previous state of adults shouting and children crying, and the atmosphere of life has become stronger.
