Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

Chapter 648 Arranging the Funeral!

"It seems we'll never find Xiao Dang again... Sigh!"

"Zhu Zi, I now completely believe that good people are rewarded and evil people are punished. The Jia family has done so many immoral things, and now they are all getting their comeuppance!"

Liu Haizhong sighed deeply, his expression shifting between light and dark.

He asked himself honestly, and realized that he had done many dishonorable things in the past.

In particular, he would beat his children after drinking, which caused Guangtian and Guangfu to become much more distant from him.

"According to the established principle of karmic retribution, I will most likely not have a good outcome if things continue like this."

Tsk tsk~ Luckily, I chose to befriend Zhu Zi and changed my habit of hitting children for no reason...

"Uncle, what you said makes perfect sense. Heaven is watching what people do; retribution may be delayed, but it will come eventually!"

"Hopefully, the Jia family can find Xiao Dang!"

He Yuzhu replied casually.

These days, investigative methods are limited, and there are no high-tech means such as cameras. Once someone goes missing, finding them is extremely difficult.

"Zhu Zi, there's something I need to ask you about..."

Liu Haizhong glanced at He Yuzhu furtively, then swallowed his words, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.

"Hey, old man, why are you being so polite with me? Just say it!"

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, wondering what the other person intended to say.

"Does he want me to help him get promoted to workshop foreman?"

Isn't this a bit of a wild idea?!

With this old guy's abilities, he'd be better suited to be the deputy director of the fitter's workshop, but I wouldn't mind pushing him up there.

But if you force him to become the workshop director, he will definitely make a complete mess of the workshop management.

"Zhu Zi, I'll be frank then, please don't be angry if I offend you~"

Liu Haizhong's tone became increasingly humble.

"Say!"

He Yuzhu's tone grew increasingly cold.

“Zhu Zi, Jia Zhangshi passed away unexpectedly. I thought Qin Huairu or the people of Zhangjia Village could handle her funeral arrangements.”

"But a day has passed and there's still no sign of anyone from Zhangjia Village; now that Qin Huairu has lost her daughter, it seems she has even less interest in taking care of her."

“Although it’s winter and the temperature is low, Jia Zhangshi’s body will inevitably start to stink if it’s left lying there for too long… In my opinion, if all else fails, our courtyard should step in and handle Jia Zhangshi’s funeral arrangements?”

Liu Haizhong knew that He Yuzhu had a long-standing grudge against the Jia family, so he cautiously made the suggestion.

"Oh? The courtyard will handle Jia Zhangshi's funeral arrangements?"

Liu Haizhong's words surprised He Yuzhu.

Honestly, I really underestimated him.

Aside from his strong desire for officialdom, this old fellow does have some sense of responsibility.

As the eldest son of a resident of the courtyard house, he should indeed step forward and make arrangements when someone dies in the courtyard.

“Zhu Zi, if you don’t want to, then forget it. I doubt anyone in our courtyard is willing to take care of the Jia family.”

"I'll report it to the neighborhood committee later and give them a headache."

Seeing that He Yuzhu did not express his opinion, Liu Haizhong thought that he had some ideas, so he quickly changed his mind.

We can't afford to offend Zhu Zi over the sake of the Jia family!

"Uncle, no matter how many wicked things Jia Zhangshi did in her life, she will eventually return to dust and can no longer cause trouble."

"After all, we've been neighbors with Jia Zhangshi for many years, we can't just stand by and watch her stink in her house."

"Death is a serious matter, so please take care of her funeral arrangements. The cost should be shared equally among all the households in the courtyard."

To Liu Haizhong's surprise, He Yuzhu readily agreed.

One's own perspective should never be smaller than that of Liu Haizhong.

In any case, people generally don't have any objections to weddings or funerals; even if they do, it's usually directed at the Jia family.
