Chapter 230 Missing
"Old Yi, since this is a funeral, we have to clean up the old lady's assets, so that we all know how much contribution we should make, right?" Yan Bugui said.

"That's right. This old lady is a five-guarantee household and receives a pension from above every month. She has had no place to spend money over the years and has always been supported by you, old Yi. This money will definitely be enough to take care of her funeral affairs." Liu Haizhong nodded.

He had the same idea as Yan Bugui. Since everyone was working together, the benefits should be shared by everyone. Otherwise, why would everyone help?

"This old lady should indeed have some money, but I didn't find it, and Shazhu doesn't know where it is. You just looked for it, but couldn't find it." Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said.

"This..." Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looked at each other.

They all knew that their secret rummaging had been discovered by Yi Zhonghai.

"We are also worried that we won't be able to find those things in the future. It would be a pity to throw them away. We might as well look for them. If we find them, we can save a lot of money." Yan Bugui said.

"That's right. Without those things, we all have to find a way ourselves, and each family has to contribute money." Liu Haizhong nodded.

"I think, for the old lady's funeral, those who have money can donate money, and those who have strength can donate their labor. At worst, we can just mortgage the house." Yan Bugui said.

"Hey, you two, are you eyeing this house again?" He Yuzhu returned to the deaf old lady's house carrying a door panel.

"Silly Zhu, how can you talk like that? Isn't this to help the old lady with her funeral affairs?" Liu Haizhong glared at He Yuzhu and said.

"That's right, how could you, a fool, be so ignorant?" Yan Bugui also said.

"Okay, you two don't have to worry about it. Before, the old lady said in front of Director Wang and Director Ke of the street that this house is for me, so you two don't have to worry about it." He Yuzhu said with a sneer.

"What……"

Although the two people had long guessed that the deaf old lady might leave the house to He Yuzhu, they still felt a little disappointed when they received the exact news at this time.

This house is worth at least several hundred dollars, and everyone will have a share in it when the time comes. But now there is nothing left.

"If you don't believe it, go and verify it yourself with Director Ke," said He Yuzhu.

"As for the matter, I have some spare money. After Yu Shui started working, he gave me 20 yuan every month. Combined with my original salary, I still have enough money to hold a funeral." He Yuzhu said.

"Okay, as long as you have a clear idea in your mind." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"Uncle Yi, please take a look at what I should do next?" He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"You should go to the street office now. After all, the old lady is a five-guarantee household, so you still have to go through the necessary procedures," said Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, I'll go right away." He Yuzhu nodded.

In fact, after going through the process of the five-guarantee households, there are funeral expenses to be paid, and even the street office needs to help with the procedures.

"Zhenyu, please help build a stove while it's still early. It will be too late in the evening. We must cook noodles for everyone tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Well, just wait and see." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

Yang Zhenyu does know a little bit about bricklayer work. Although he is not proficient enough, he has no problem building a stove.

Fortunately, in this era, there were no restrictions on the firing of red bricks and green bricks, and there were quite a few in stock in the compound, so it was easy to find some green bricks.

Before dark, a large stove with three burners was set up. Although it was winter, it was still warm while working.

"Where should we put the firewood?" Brother Yan Jiecheng came over with the firewood. "Put it in the aisle and store it for tomorrow." Yan Bugui pointed to the aisle and said.

"Leave some for us and boil some hot water today. Everyone will need to drink hot water in the evening." Yang Zhenyu shouted.

"Okay." Yan Jiecheng responded, and then began to arrange for his brothers to arrange firewood.

Everyone in the compound came to help with this matter, and by the evening, basically everything that needed to be prepared was ready.

The two men in Liu Haizhong didn't get any benefits, so they weren't really concerned about the matter. They sat in the room, secretly planning something.

Instead, the young people took the tasks assigned by Yi Zhonghai, and then gathered together, talking and laughing.

After the funeral, He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble there would be.

"Old Yi, the accounts have been settled clearly, take a look." Yan Bugui handed the account book to Yi Zhonghai and said.

"Shazhu, come here." Yi Zhonghai called He Yuzhu who was sitting outside.

"Let's take a look at this account book together. This is all the money you paid, so you will have a better idea later." Yi Zhonghai said as he opened the account book.

In fact, no matter whether it is a wedding or funeral, under normal circumstances, the host will entrust a manager to handle these matters. The manager only needs to record the accounts and then check with the host afterwards.

After checking the account book, He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai just shook his head slightly at He Yuzhu.

"Okay, then I'd like to thank Third Uncle for what happened today." He Yuzhu said as he closed the account book.

You know, He Yuzhu is the director of the canteen. He knows very well how much each dish and each item costs.

He knows exactly whether every entry in this account book is correct.

"Uncle Yi, what's going on?" After everyone left, He Yuzhu asked Yi Zhonghai what was going on.

"Don't bother with them at this time. It is normal for these people to want to take advantage. Don't care about the small amount of money. The key is to have a scale in your heart." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Okay, I understand." He Yuzhu nodded.

There are problems with the account, but it's not a big problem. These people are just trying to take advantage of something small, and they dare not go too far. Otherwise, if the master finds out, it will be embarrassing.

"Shazhu, you have to remember that some things, if kept in your heart, are more powerful than if spoken out loud. Moreover, many things need to be held in your hands as a deterrent." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Okay, I understand." He Yuzhu nodded.

"I understand." Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Now that the old lady is gone, you should also pay attention to what to do with this house. It can't be left empty forever." Yi Zhonghai said.

"I'm thinking about renting it out later. I don't plan to make much money. The important thing is that there is someone living in it, and the house won't fall into disrepair. The most important thing is that there has to be someone who cares about it." He Yuzhu said.

"It's enough for you to understand it. You can arrange the rest of the things yourself." Yi Zhonghai nodded.
