The next morning.
The entire courtyard was in an uproar!
Chen Jian was still unconscious.
She heard the chaos outside.
It seemed like something important had happened.
Everyone gathered in the backyard.
Chen Jian only found out when he went out.
It turned out that the deaf old lady had left.
The first one to notice was an auntie who came to deliver food in the morning.
No matter how he tried to wake the deaf old lady up, he couldn't.
She checked her breathing and realized that she was gone.
The old lady walked away kindly with a smile on her face.
At this moment, an old man was kneeling in front of the Deaf Old Lady's bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
Snot, tears.
He had always treated the deaf old lady like his own mother.
She was very sad to pass away so suddenly.
Silly Zhu was also crying at the side, heartbroken.
The two of them hugged each other and comforted each other.
"Zhu Zi, don't be sad. The old lady went to enjoy herself.”
The first uncle choked.
Xu Damao looked at the two of them from behind.
He was secretly delighted.
This old fart is finally gone. Let's see who will protect Silly Zhu in the future.
Jia Zhangshi knew that the deaf old lady had passed away.
He quickly ran back to tell Jia Dongxu the good news.
"Alright! Now that the old man is gone, no one can talk about me in the future.”
Jia Zhangshi gloated.
"That's right. It's fine that this deaf old lady protected Silly Zhu previously, but she even spoke up for Chen Jian yesterday.”
"Who does he think he is? I'll take care of him slowly in the future."
Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed with a vicious expression.
"However, this old lady's death is worth it. I reckon that the banquet will be held soon. At that time, our family can still eat fine grain.”
"Eating these coarse grains every day will make the stick grow stronger.”
Jia Zhangshi said shamelessly.
Every time, Silly Zhu would give them fine grain.
Basically, all of it went into her and Jia Dongxu's mouths.
.......
The Deaf Old Lady was gone, and the most important thing now was to bury her.
For this reason, First Uncle even held a meeting with the entire academy.
Everyone in the courtyard house was on leave today.
First Uncle was sad and unwilling to speak.
Second Uncle put on an act.
Because the First Uncle didn't speak, he was the boss of this courtyard.
He cleared his throat.
he said in an official tone.
"I'm sure everyone knows that the Deaf Old Lady passed away peacefully. The problem now is to bury her.”
"The deaf old lady didn't have any children before she died, so the three of us discussed and decided to donate money to her funeral.”
Holding a funeral meant holding a banquet.
This was the first time.
Everyone had their own ulterior motives.
Second Uncle said with a serious expression.
In fact, he was already overjoyed.
Finally, someone died.
It didn't matter if it was a happy occasion or a funeral, as long as he could eat and drink freely.
He would order some big fish and meat, as well as white flour and steamed buns.
After all, there were so many people at home.
Every meal was an expense.
He was still not full.
He would definitely be able to eat more this time.
At the thought of this, the second uncle pursed his lips.
Immediately after.
Third Uncle was the first to agree.
He directly raised his hand!
"I'll set an example for everyone first!"
"The Yan family agrees and supports the fund-raising for the funeral!”
He calculated carefully.
Of course, they were happy to eat and drink with everyone's money.
There were more than twenty people in the courtyard. One piece per person was enough to set up five or six tables.
When the time came, he would buy some meat to eat.
That's right.
Chen Jian's pork rib soup was delicious, so he let him make it.
At this moment.
Yi Zhonghai, who had been silent all this while.
His emotions had mostly calmed down.
Then, he said.
"The Deaf Old Lady didn't eat anything good when she was alive.”
"Zhu Zi and Chen Jian treat the Deaf Old Lady the best, especially Chen Jian.”
"During this period of time, I cooked for the Deaf Old Lady every day after work and sent it over.”
"When the old lady was about to die, it was Chen Jian who served her.”
"I'm ashamed of my inferiority in this regard."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Jian with gratitude.
Everyone started discussing animatedly when they heard this.
"Yes, yes!"
"Chen Jian is indeed very good to the old lady.”
"That's right. There aren't many people who can do this without any connections…"
"Yes, there's nothing to say about this!"
Hearing these discussions.
Chen Jian pretended to be worried and sighed.
"How about this? Chen Jian, Silly Zhu, and Xu Damao will pay more because they are all paid well.”
"The rest of the families have a large population and are not rich.”
Third Uncle began to calculate.
Silly Zhu would definitely be happy.
Because the deaf old lady had always protected her.
She treated him like her own grandson.
If he did not take out some money at this time, people would say no.
"I'm fine with anything, as long as the old lady takes care of herself.”
Silly Zhu cried.
Chen Jian naturally wouldn't say anything.
Isn't it just a few dollars?
When his system was activated, he would not care about this.
Moreover, the First Uncle was in front of everyone.
She had already praised him for being a great philanthropist.
The old lady had already left.
Naturally, he would not be stingy with this.
"I have no objections."
Chen Jian said.
"Why?!"
Xu Damao listened.
He was unhappy on the spot.
Ask him to pay more?
In the past, when the old lady was still alive, she would talk about him everywhere.
Fighting with Silly Zhu was also protecting Silly Zhu.
Xu Damao couldn't wait for the old lady to leave.
He even had to pay more for her?
Impossible!
"When the Deaf Old Lady was around, I didn't think much of it. Now that she's gone, you want me to pay more?”
"Didn't she always treat Silly Zhu as her biological grandson?”
Xu Damao said unhappily.
As soon as he said this.
Third Uncle's eyes lit up.
Why didn't I think of that?
This deaf old lady treated Silly Zhu like her grandson.
At the very least, he still had his 'son' Yi Zhonghai.
No matter what, this money did not have to be given to them.
Third Uncle was about to speak to express his agreement.
In the end, the first uncle opened his mouth and cursed.
"Xu Damao, do you still have a conscience when you say this?”
After hearing this, Silly Zhu went up and punched Xu Damao.
"Ah!"
Xu Damao rolled on the ground.
"Silly Zhu, you actually hit me!"
Xu Damao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"The Deaf Old Lady just left, and you're already itching for it?”
Silly Zhu pointed at Xu Damao.
Fortunately, someone stopped him.
Otherwise, Xu Damao would have been beaten to a pulp.
"Alright, quiet down."
First Uncle came out to uphold justice.
Of course, his so-called justice was naturally favoring Silly Pillar.
"For the old lady's funeral, Zhu Zi and I, Chen Jian will pay more.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The assembly ended.
In the end, they did as the First Uncle said. No one said anything else.
……
The suona sounded.
The deaf old lady was successfully buried.
On the day of the burial, Shazhu cried her eyes out.
There were seven tables in the courtyard.
When they returned, everyone was gathered together.
Silly Zhu was in a bad mood and went back to his room.
Third Uncle and Third Aunt's family made a table.
They ate while talking and laughing.
Second Uncle and Second Aunt were the same. When they saw big fish and meat, they started to snatch them.
At the Jia residence, Qin Huairu had taken a lot of steamed buns and was secretly bringing them home.
The stick was stuffed to death!
Chen Jian took two simple bites.
They watched as the entire courtyard ate until their mouths were full of oil, not caring about the death of the deaf old lady at all.
Perhaps only Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were really sad.
In the blink of an eye.
A day passed.
The Deaf Old Lady's matter seemed to have been put behind her.
Everyone went to work and rested as usual.
Everything was normal.
Chen Jian was the same.
He was quietly waiting for the system to arrive.
