Chapter Fifty-Seven: Something Goes Wrong
Because the old man always went to see him, Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang naturally knew some things, so after the two of them knew about his existence, they were always full of great hostility towards him.
For them, they are the illegitimate children of the old man, and their existence threatens the inheritance of the old man's property in the future.
Even because of this incident, they followed the old man more than once when he went to look for him, and made a big fuss.
Although he is indeed the old man's own flesh and blood, he never thought of asking for a penny from the old man.
Because even if he doesn't think about the past anymore. But he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
This person owes him more than money can make up for it, so he doesn't want it to be mixed with money.
He once directly stated his thoughts. But the two brothers didn't believe him at all, and regarded him as their enemy.
That's why the two brothers were furious when they saw him.
However, no matter how much trouble the two brothers had, they could not change what they did not want to see, and the old man still went to chat with him from time to time.
And he slowly got used to it, and the quarrel between the two brothers directly chose to ignore it.
Because the old man often went to him, he knew that in the previous period of time, the old man's physical condition began to decline sharply, but logically speaking, it should still be able to support him for a while.
So when he received the news of the old man's death, he was very shocked and always felt that something was wrong.
He directly thought that it might be related to the two brothers, although they would not kill their father and demons, but who knows if the old man was angry with the two of them.
When the man said his conjecture, he looked directly at the two brothers, who became unusually irritable.
"What do you mean? Could it be that you are a good person, we are all bad people, can we harm my own father? ”
"If you say so, then we can still say that you killed your father, and it's better not to talk nonsense without evidence."
The two brothers became very angry, but I could see a little nervousness in their anger.
I feel that they are more like they are afraid of being exposed, so they are annoyed and angry, so they excitedly retort.
When this thought appeared in my brain, I became more nervous, because I even agreed with the man's statement, and began to doubt the two brothers.
"If you two really didn't do anything, why are you so nervous?"
"Where are we nervous? We just think you're talking nonsense to get angry. ”
Zhang Hong began to defend himself, but I didn't feel any credibility.
Looking at these three "brothers" I fell silent, because my brain is a bit messed up now, and I don't know how to judge anymore.
The man glared at the two of them fiercely, and instead of continuing the conversation, he looked directly at me.
"Little coffin, I know that you have already discussed, and the monument will be erected in the next few days, and the main reason I stayed here is to say that I will also contribute a part of the money for the monument, please help arrange it."
I nodded sloppily, because even if he didn't tell me, I would arrange it.
The man glanced at Zhang Hong again, "People are doing it, the sky is looking at what is going on, God knows best, I hope you two can have a little conscience!" ”
Leaving these words, the man turned around and left, while the two brothers Zhang Hong stood still and did not say a word.
The two of them didn't speak, and I couldn't say anything, so I waited by the side.
After a long time, the two of them were reminiscing, and as if to cover up something, Zhang Hong said to me embarrassedly, "Little coffin, don't be surprised, don't listen to his nonsense." ”
I don't listen to anyone, I just trust my own judgment.
Anyway, I already have a bad opinion of the two brothers Zhang Hong in my heart.
But no matter what I think of the two of them in my heart, I won't say it directly, after all, now I am doing things with money, and my task is to arrange the old man's funeral.
"Brother Zhang, now that the old man has been buried, the tree monument will be in a few days, you can see how it is arranged."
"Little coffin, I'll leave the rest to you! When the time comes, I will give you the inscription and the money of the inscription, and you can help arrange it. ”
Because the burial and the erection of the monument are usually one, it is usually the coffin bearer who helps to arrange it together.
However, sometimes some of the owners of the matter, and there are also knowledgeable people in the family, and they will arrange it themselves.
And Zhang Hong didn't know if he was not in the mood or really didn't understand, so he also handed over the matter of erecting the monument to me.
I nodded, and then Zhang Hong went to prepare the inscription and gave me a big red envelope.
"Little coffin, your laisee and the money to buy the stele are all in the red envelope, and you can look at the price of the stele at 3,000 yuan."
I nodded, because I usually have to go to the town to buy the stone monument, and our village is relatively close to the town, so I took my things home first, and prepared to go to the town the next day.
The two brothers sent me all the way to the entrance of the village, and when I left, I noticed that Zhang Hong had a look of desire to speak.
It's a pity that he didn't say anything when I left.
I guess he probably wanted to say something about the man, or defend himself.
But since he didn't open his mouth himself, then I don't need to dwell on it anymore.
I had been busy for most of the afternoon, and by the time I got home, it was already evening.
Grandma didn't know that I would come back, and Minmin had already sat down to eat.
Anyway, they just started eating, and I caught up with it.
During the meal, grandma asked about this incident, and she didn't mention it again without saying a few words, nor did she tell grandma about the complicated relationship.
After eating, I transferred 3,200 yuan from the red envelope, and gave the rest to my grandmother.
You must know that this dead man's money seems to be the best to make, but it is also the hardest to earn.
Since people have said that the stele is about 3,000 yuan, I can spend more, and I can't spend less, and I can't take kickbacks like some treacherous developers now.
Because this money is dead man's money, if I profit from it, I will lose my life.
Just like those bosses who sell paper ties, they usually can suffer a little loss and will not make more money.
Finally, I told my grandmother to go to town tomorrow to order a stone monument, and then went back to my room to rest.
When I went back to my room, I looked through a few more of my grandfather's diaries and fell asleep.
In any case, the food at home is still delicious, and the bed at home is comfortable to sleep on.
