Chapter 336 Who could this person be?
"Aunt Jia, Aunt Jia, please stop crying. We still need your help to make a decision on this matter!"

Suddenly, Li Guoqiang walked up to Jia Zhang and spoke seriously.

"Let me make the decision? What decision?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang was stunned, then asked in some doubt.

"Harmful!"

Li Guoqiang rolled his eyes, and then said in a somewhat annoyed tone: "Why don't you understand? Let me ask you, now that the old lady has passed away in our courtyard, who is the oldest person?"

"Who is the oldest?"

Jia Zhang raised her eyebrows, then suddenly thought of something, raised her chin with pride and said, "Who else could it be? It must be me!"

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang saw that Jia Zhang had reacted, and hurriedly explained: "Although the old lady asked me to help her with the funeral, but now we are the oldest in the courtyard, you have to help take care of the old lady's funeral.

After all, I'm still young and inexperienced. If you're not watching me, if I make any mistakes, wouldn't it be a joke to the outsiders?"

"this."

After being flattered by Li Guoqiang, Jia Zhang felt a little elated, but she would never do anything that had no benefit, so she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

"Aunt Jia!"

Upon seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately leaned close to the other person's ear and said in a low voice, "When the time comes, you will sit at the main table for the banquet. You can take the leftovers first, and I will also give you a big red envelope."

"to make!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly shouted, "Let me help you with the old lady's funeral. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

After saying that, she raised her head, straightened her chest, and walked to the edge of the bed with a heroic look on her face. She pulled up the old lady who was guarding there, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Mr. Yi, go find the old lady's shroud first, then get a basin of clean water, and help me wash the old lady's body and put on the shroud, so that the old lady can come clean and leave cleanly.

Also, Shazhu, take a few people with you to bring the old lady's coffin over here and place it in the middle of this room.

Well, Qiangzi, you can take people to buy some incense and candles to use for worshiping the old lady. By the way, please notify the street office and the crematorium and ask them to send someone over.

As for the others, they are responsible for buying groceries, cooking and other miscellaneous tasks.”

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and lift the old lady's quilt, but she saw that everyone was looking at her in surprise, so she frowned and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and move!"

After hearing this, everyone seemed to wake up from their dreams, and then hurriedly got busy according to Jia Zhang's arrangements.

Moreover, Yan Bugui took the initiative to approach Jia Zhang for the first time, just to take over the job of emcee.

Immediately afterwards, seeing this, Liu Haizhong also came up to Jia Zhang and took over the on-site management job, leaving Yi Zhonghai standing aside with a constipated look on his face.

No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that Li Guoqiang would actually invite Jia Zhang to come and settle the situation, and he also gave a reason because of her age, which made him unable to object at all.

And Jia Zhang was quite surprising. She arranged things very efficiently and effectively, which was totally unlike her usual rogue style, leaving him with no place to find fault.

You know, it was he who personally helped to take care of Jia Dongxu's funeral!

At that time, Jia Zhangshi did nothing but cry and eat, and didn't care about anything else.

It turns out that they are all treating him as a fool?

Thinking of this, his face darkened instantly. He wanted to walk away, but he was worried that it would affect his reputation. He could only suppress his unhappiness and stand there.

However, before he could calm down, Jia Zhang pushed him.

"I say, Lao Yi, why are you so blind? Didn't you see that we were going to help the old lady wipe her body? Why don't you hurry out and wait?"

Hearing this, the corner of Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched violently, then he frowned and walked out silently.

He was an eighth-level fitter and a big boss in the yard. When had he ever been driven away like this?

What's more, why would he be despised by a shrew like Jia Zhang?

If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated his character over the years, he would have probably lost his temper by now.

Soon, as everyone was busy, by the time daybreak came, the mourning hall had been set up in the middle of the room.

The deaf old lady was also tidied up and lay in the coffin with a peaceful look on her face.

As for Sha Zhu, after he helped bury the deaf old lady, he knelt in front of the mourning hall, wearing mourning clothes and burning paper money with a sad face.

When everyone saw him like this, they were filled with emotion. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt also felt a sense of anticipation. They hoped that Sha Zhu would be able to take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives like he did today.

However, they are less than 60 years old now, and it is unknown how long it will take to reach this step.

Therefore, in order to ensure that they can achieve their wish, they have to think of a way to keep Sha Zhu firmly in their hands.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but turn his head and look at Li Guoqiang who was silently standing behind Sha Zhu, and his brows gradually frowned.

If there is anyone in this courtyard who can disrupt his retirement plan, Li Guoqiang is definitely one of the top candidates.

On the one hand, it is because Li Guoqiang's achievements are too outstanding. He has become the most promising young man in Siheyuan, and his words carry more weight.

On the other hand, the relationship between Li Guoqiang and Sha Zhu seems to be getting better and better.

In this way, if Li Guoqiang said something to Sha Zhu behind his back, Sha Zhu would easily have other ideas and become alienated from him, the uncle.

What's more, now that the deaf old lady has passed away, he no longer has the means to use the deaf old lady to PUA Sha Zhu and force Sha Zhu to be filial to him as an old man.

Therefore, the most urgent thing was that he had to think of a way to select a new person to serve as shackles to keep Sha Zhu firmly under control.

Thinking of this question, his gaze quickly and quietly fell on the other side, where Qin Huairu was busy.

However, what he didn't expect was that not only had Sha Zhu been stabilized by Li Guoqiang using letters pretending to be written by Lou Xiao'e, but Qin Huairu was also secretly eaten up by Li Guoqiang, leaving her with no possibility of being with Sha Zhu anymore.

If he really did it according to this idea, then in the end it would be nothing. In other words, with the death of the deaf old lady, the current courtyard house is no longer the courtyard house that he could manipulate at will.

Moreover, as time goes by, when the reform and opening up comes, he will be completely forgotten and become a speck of dust in the era.

Soon after, the street and crematorium sent staff over. Even Director Wang, after receiving the news, came over to pay his respects to the deaf old lady in person to commemorate the old times.

Immediately, under Li Guoqiang's arrangement, Sha Zhu stood in front of the door, smashed the fire basin, and personally sent the deaf old lady to the crematorium, and then sent the deaf old lady's ashes to the cemetery for burial.

During this period, Li Guoqiang found an opportunity and directly replaced the deaf old lady's ashes to fulfill his promise to her.

In fact, according to the deaf old lady's wishes, she wanted Li Guoqiang to take her ashes directly to the foot of Changbai Mountain for burial.

In this way, she could tell Yi Zhonghai that all her treasures were in Li Guoqiang's possession, thus preventing Sha Zhu from being suspected and targeted by Yi Zhonghai.

Unfortunately, she did not expect that Li Guoqiang had a small world with him that could help him fulfill the promise without anyone noticing.

Therefore, when Yi Zhonghai saw that the deaf old lady's ashes were indeed buried in the cemetery, and that Li Guoqiang had not taken anything from the deaf old lady's house, he immediately turned his attention to Sha Zhu, who inherited the house.

Although he didn't know what treasures the deaf old lady had left behind, he estimated that those things were worth at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars.

If Sha Zhu really got this wealth, together with the two inherited houses, they would have no capital to make Qin Huairu obedient and take Sha Zhu with them to support them in their old age.

Just like before, if it weren’t for the fact that the deaf old lady was quite old and had many treasures hidden away, how could they be willing to help take care of the deaf old lady!

You know, they had spent a lot of money in the past to cure their health and get pregnant.

Most of this money was sponsored by a deaf old lady.

Otherwise, even if he is your biological son, it is impossible for him to take care of the baby's excrement and urine, wash clothes and cook for the baby day after day for more than ten years!

In short, in this world, there is no such thing as love without reason, nor is there any hatred without reason. Everything has a reason.

After returning from the cemetery, Jia Zhang immediately and actively ran to the backyard, sat down on the main table, and did not forget to urge Liu Haizhong to hurry up.

Li Guoqiang did not get involved and quickly found an excuse to hand over the tasks of cleaning the house and arranging the banquet to Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang. He then asked Li Dawei to represent the Li family at the banquet and rode his tricycle to Xiangmizhai.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Li Guoqiang leave like that, he was even more certain that the deaf old lady did not give those treasures to Li Guoqiang, because the little things Li Guoqiang helped with were not worth the deaf old lady giving away such valuable things.

As for the deaf old lady, why did she ask Li Guoqiang to help with the management? In his opinion, perhaps the deaf old lady really saw the blessing that Li Guoqiang brought and wanted to leave with more peace of mind.

Therefore, in the following time, he kept a close eye on Sha Zhu, wanting to know where the deaf old lady hid the things.

After the meal, when Sha Zhu cleaned out the deaf old lady's personal belongings from the house according to the rules, he followed Sha Zhu closely.

On the surface, he was helping, but in reality, he was just keeping an eye on the treasure hunt.

However, after everything was cleared away and he asked Ban Ye to help take it away, he didn't find anything and just made himself sweat for nothing.

Just when he was a little bit skeptical and wanted to go into the house to look around to see if there were any hidden compartments or pits, Sha Zhu grabbed him and said with a gloomy look: "Uncle, let's go to my place and have a few more drinks."

"Row!"

Yi Zhonghai was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded quickly and agreed: "Anyway, I have asked for leave today, let's have a few more drinks."

After saying that, he watched Sha Zhu lock the door with his own eyes, and then followed Sha Zhu back to the central courtyard.

If he remembered correctly, he remembered that Sha Zhu seemed to have a habit of talking nonsense when he was drunk. If he could get Sha Zhu drunk and then ask him carefully, maybe he could find out where the treasures were hidden.

In addition, now is the time when Sha Zhu lacks love the most, so he naturally has to show his concern for Sha Zhu and deepen Sha Zhu's feelings for him.

Not long after, Sha Zhu took out some leftovers from the banquet and also brought out the aged wine that Li Guoqiang had given him. He and Yi Zhonghai slowly drank one glass each.

As he drank, he thought about the care the deaf old lady had given him over the years. He couldn't help but feel sad and cried like a child in front of Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly reached out and patted Sha Zhu on the back, then spoke to him earnestly and comforted him: "Okay, the old lady is gone, but we still have your aunt and I! We are also your elders. No matter what happens in the future, you can come to us and we will make the decision for you."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with some emotion, then nodded vigorously in agreement.

It has to be said that the appearance of Yi Zhonghai really filled the fatherly love that Sha Zhu lacked due to He Daqing's departure.

Otherwise, he would not have listened to Yi Zhonghai so much and would not have beaten whoever he told him to beat and done whatever he told him to do.

After drinking for a while, Sha Zhu became a little dazed and his speech began to slur.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yi Zhonghai's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked softly, "By the way, Shazhu, the old lady seemed to have told me that she would leave something for your future daughter-in-law. What did she leave for you?"

"Leaving something for my future wife?"

Sha Zhu was slightly stunned, then asked in confusion: "What is that? I didn't see it?"

"its not right!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned, then asked anxiously: "That's what the old lady told me before. She couldn't possibly lie to me. Did you forget something somewhere?"

"no!"

Sha Zhu shook his head, then said seriously: "The old lady really didn't leave me anything. If there is anything, it's just those two houses."

"This"

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu didn't seem to be lying, he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

[Could it be that she really didn't give the thing to Sha Zhu? Instead, she gave it to someone else? ]

[So, who could this person be? ]
