Chapter 111: Buying things, Qin Huairu gave birth to a daughter
Yi Zhonghai pushed Jia Dongxu back to the courtyard. The old cart was covered with a dull cloth, hiding Jia Dongxu's figure. The residents of the courtyard poked their heads out of their houses, their eyes fell on the cart, and they knew in their hearts that Jia Dongxu had followed in his father's footsteps.
Everyone's face showed a trace of barely perceptible sadness. They watched Jia Dongxu grow up, and in their memories, he was always the sunny, enthusiastic, and helpful young man. His departure made them feel regretful and heartbroken.
Residents came out of their houses one after another, whether out of mutual help among neighbors or out of sympathy for the Jia family, they all chose to do something for Jia Dongxu at this moment. Even those who usually had some conflicts with Jia Zhang silently lent a helping hand at this moment.
Yi Zhonghai stood quietly aside, his eyes moving over the busy figures of the residents in the courtyard, which made him feel a little relieved.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Jia Zhang who was sitting beside him crying silently. He walked over to Jia Zhang and said softly, "Sister-in-law Jia, do you think you should change Dongxu into clean clothes first, and then go and buy a coffin?"
Jia Zhang raised her head, nodded silently, and stood up and walked towards Jia Dongxu. Although her movements were a little stiff, every step was full of the power of maternal love. She carefully changed Jia Dongxu's clothes and wiped his body, as if she was bidding him a final farewell.
However, when the topic of buying a coffin came up, Jia Zhang's expression became hesitant. Her own son had already passed away, and she did not want to use up her pension money, so she fell silent and pretended not to hear it.
Yi Zhonghai saw what Jia Zhang was thinking. He didn't want to care about it at first, but thinking that his disciple Jia Dongxu had always been very filial to him, he decided to pay for a coffin for Jia Dongxu himself.
With this in mind, Yi Zhonghai turned around and walked out of the courtyard and came to a nearby coffin shop. After some selection, he chose a good coffin, paid the money, and asked the shop to deliver the coffin to the courtyard in a while.
After ordering the coffin, Yi Zhonghai did not choose to rest, but hurried to the nearby vegetable market. He knew that there was still a funeral to prepare for, and he needed to buy some necessary items. His face was a little solemn, but his eyes revealed firmness and determination.
In the market, Yi Zhonghai carefully selected fresh vegetables and meat, all of which were prepared for tomorrow's funeral. He also specially bought some sacrificial items, hoping that these would bring peace to Jia Dongxu.
During the selection process, Yi Zhonghai frowned, as if he was thinking about every detail, hoping that everything could be done to perfection.
When Yi Zhonghai bought everything, the coffin had been delivered to the courtyard. Jia Dongxu was gently placed in the coffin and then parked in the middle of the courtyard. The mourning hall had also been built, and the white curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, as if to see Jia Dongxu off.
Yi Zhonghai thanked everyone who was busy, and then discussed with Jia Zhang about tomorrow's funeral. He decided to talk to the people in the yard and let everyone come to help and see Jia Dongxu off together.
After finishing the discussion, Yi Zhonghai left the Jia family and planned to wait outside his house for He Yuzhu to come back, and then go to him to discuss the matters of the banquet and wait for news from Qin Huairu from the hospital.
Yi Zhonghai sat down on the stone steps outside his house, leaning against the wall, looking towards the gate from time to time. He folded his hands over his chest, frowned, and was obviously full of worry. He waited quietly all afternoon until the aunt and her friends brought Qin Huairu back to the courtyard.
Qin Huairu was gently carried down from the carriage. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were closed, as if she was still asleep. The first aunt looked at Jia Zhang, who was standing in front of the mourning hall in a daze, and said in a soft but comforting voice: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, Huairu has given birth to a daughter, and both mother and daughter are safe. But she is very weak now. Let's carry her into the house first, and you can go in and take care of her later."
Jia Zhang was originally heartbroken by the death of her son. Now when she heard that Qin Huairu had given birth to another girl, she felt that this child had killed her son, so her face instantly became even gloomier.
Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu and said coldly: "Whoever caused her premature birth should be responsible for taking care of her. It has nothing to do with me." Her voice was full of indifference and dissatisfaction, as if the arrival of this newborn could not bring her any joy.
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, the second and third aunts turned to look at the first aunt. They knew that Qin Huairu's accident happened in the first aunt's house, which meant that the first aunt might need to take the responsibility of taking care of Qin Huairu.
The second aunt sighed softly, secretly worried about the first aunt. The third aunt lowered her head silently, as if thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.
The first aunt stood in front of the mourning hall, witnessing Jia Zhang's cold back and Qin Huairu's pale face, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Qin Huairu's premature birth was related to her, and the Jia family was in great grief at the moment. Jia Dongxu's death made Jia Zhang feel heartbroken.
Faced with such a situation, even if the aunt had something to say, she swallowed it back. She did not dare to refute Jia Zhangshi, and could only silently bear the guilt and responsibility.
The second and third aunts saw the clues. They knew that the reason why the first aunt did not refute must be because there was something they didn't know. The two looked at each other and tacitly chose to leave, leaving the first aunt space to deal with the matter.
Just as the second and third aunts were about to leave, Yi Zhonghai came over. He heard their conversation and saw the situation of Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask much.
Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu's house across the street and found that the door was still locked, knowing that He Yuzhu had not returned yet. So he turned around and said to the aunt, "You go ahead and do your work. I'm going back now."
