Chapter 570: Announcement of funeral arrangements

Chapter 570: Announcement of funeral arrangements
When a bird is about to die, its cry is mournful.

Most living things are of this nature. They will only reflect on the mistakes they made in their lives at the end of their lives.

The deaf old lady has now entered a very strange state, and all parts of her body functions are healthy.

But she felt that she didn't have many days left to live.

This is not self-mockery of an elderly person, but the true feelings of the deaf old lady.

Recently she was afraid to sleep at night, for fear that once she fell asleep she would never wake up again.

The happiest thing for her every day now is to listen to the noise of the children in the yard, open her eyes to Xu Shengli's silver bell-like laughter, and see the sunlight shining into the room through the sparse silver leaves.

She had been having a lot of dreams lately, of her childhood joys,

There was also the surprise when she followed the "master" into the old city for the first time. It was after a very long journey, first taking a sedan chair and a boat, and then riding on the "rumbling" long snake - the train, and then they arrived in the old city.

She thought that would be a new beginning in her life, but she never expected that in order to gain a foothold, the "master" would give her to Huang Lao Hu, who later became Commander Huang.

From then on, she no longer trusted anyone.

Everything he did was just for her to stay alive.

She also dreamed of Commander Huang, Xiao Wu,
She even dreamed of Shazhu when he was little, running into the backyard with a fierce look on his face, and asked her: "Grandma, have you been like this all the time?

Did you see a big cat running over here? ..."

The deaf old lady dreamed of many people, but she didn’t dream of the Yi couple.

The deaf old lady knew that this must be the person she cared about in her life who came to say goodbye to her.

At lunch time, Luo Qiaoyun brought her steamed buns and millet porridge with a gloomy face.

The deaf old lady looked at Luo Qiaoyun, but Luo Qiaoyun was in a trance. She remembered what she saw yesterday.

Qin Huairu came to express her gratitude at night.

When Yi Zhonghai sent Qin Huairu out, he chatted with her in the corner for a while.

She vaguely saw that Yi Zhonghai reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and stuffed something into it.

When Yi Zhonghai wanted to reach out his hand, Qin Huairu dodged it.

For Luo Qiaoyun, the thing she feared most was still happening step by step.

Yi Zhonghai still had his eyes on Qin Huairu.

This made Luo Qiaoyun feel very disgusted, and of course more scared.

She was afraid that one day in the future, when she returned home, all the valuables in the house would be looted, and Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu would disappear at the same time.
She heard Qin Huairu's sweet laughter last night, and Qin Huairu whispered, "Master Yi, let me think about it..."

Because of this incident, she didn't sleep well all night.

She already had a bad heart, and now this incident happened again. Luo Qiaoyun's entire mental state was very bad.

There was no light in her eyes, and naturally she would not show concern and care to the deaf old lady as usual.

She was just mechanically busy with everything she was supposed to do.

"Qiao Yun, Qiao Yun!" the deaf old lady called.

The deaf old lady wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Luo Qiaoyun, but Luo Qiaoyun ignored her.

After she finished everything in her hands, she stood at the door holding the toilet and said, "Old lady, I am not feeling well today.

If you have anything to say, please wait for Zhonghai to come back and tell him.

I have to go back and lie down for a while."

This response immediately wiped out the deaf old lady's only remaining enthusiasm.

The deaf old lady watched Luo Qiaoyun walk out the door and disappear from her sight.

After all, no one in this world cares about her.

To put it bluntly, this is a collision between two people who are in the wrong mental state at a critical juncture.

The deaf old lady originally felt that she had done something wrong and wanted to tell Luo Qiaoyun about some of her funeral arrangements.

But Luo Qiaoyun ignored the deaf old lady because of what happened between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu last night.

This made the deaf old lady suspicious, and she began to think about everything. For example, the elderly always want to be buried in peace, and the Yi couple's behavior made them think that they would burn her in a fire and then find a place to scatter her?

This is what she fears most.

The deaf old lady became more and more frightened the more she thought about it, but she still thought about saving herself.

So she got up, put on her clothes, and went out with a cane.

When people have something they can't let go of, they have motivation.

This is the case with the deaf old lady today. Some time ago, she felt she had no strength to walk to the front yard.

But today, although she walked very slowly, she actually walked out of the alley in one breath.

She walked for a while and then rested by the roadside.

Finally, we arrived at the street office.

After asking at the gate, she went straight to Director Wang.

Even though Director Wang disliked the deaf old lady, he was still polite to her. After all, she was one of the people who took the lead in making private donations back then.

Director Wang helped the deaf old lady sit down, and then asked politely: "Hey, old lady, why did you come here from such a long distance?

If you have anything to say, please ask someone to let me know and I will be there. ..."

The deaf old lady waited until she had caught her breath, then she said to Director Wang: "I think my old bones are about to fail, so I have to come here to take care of some of my affairs."

Director Wang was stunned by this, but he asked, "Isn't Yi Zhonghai your elderly caregiver?
Do you want to explain whether you should tell them or not?"

Of course, the deaf old lady could not just eat her fill and scold the cook for this. She was still being taken care of by Yi Zhonghai and the others, so she said on the street that she was afraid that the Yi family would grind her to ashes.

The deaf old lady thought for a moment, then said: "I won't hide this from you.

I don't really want them to know.

The only thing I can keep is a back room, which should be left to Zhonghai and the others.

But Xiao Yi and his wife don’t have any children, and I’m afraid if I leave the house to them, it will bring them trouble.

That’s what I think. Over the years, I have saved some money by living frugally.

After I leave, I will leave this money to Qiao Yun for self-defense.

I want to give this house to someone who needs it. ..."

Director Wang understood the deaf old lady's thoughts. She was afraid that the Yi couple would not be so dedicated to her affairs after her death.

Director Wang felt that what the deaf old lady did was not right and felt very upset about this matter.

But their street was originally responsible for this matter, so Director Wang asked: "Old lady, do you have anyone you like?"

The deaf old lady was thinking of saying it was Shazhu or Damao, but she also knew that those two families would not have anything to do with her just because of a house.

He Yuzhu looked down on it.

Xu Damao was afraid of getting into trouble.

They didn't have a good relationship with her to begin with, so naturally they wouldn't come running to her just because she said something good.

The deaf old lady shook her head, looking gloomy. When the time came, she had no one to get close to. This, it had to be said, was a tragedy.

The deaf old lady wiped her eyes and said: "I don't have anyone close to me, so I can only trouble the street for this matter.

I don't have high requirements. As long as I can be buried in peace and have a tombstone, I have no other requirements.

When the time comes, give the money in the iron box under the bed to Qiao Yun.

The house and some of the things in it. To be honest, I still have some dowry from when I was young, which is not cheap. I will leave all of that to the street office to arrange..."
