He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 582 Preparing for the Funeral

Although Yan Jiecheng was somewhat unwilling, he also felt that what Yu Li said made sense, so he nodded, and the two left the room together.

After all, the room is so cold and gloomy, and no one wants to stay here for even one more minute. Yan Jiecheng feels that if he stays in this room any longer, he will really be scared to death.

Yan Jiecheng did not rush home as usual, but decided to tell his two younger brothers about his father's death first.

However, just as he was about to go, Yu Li suddenly stopped him. Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li with some confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng and said unhappily, "Are you stupid? What are you going to say if you tell them now? Are you going to say that you killed Dad?"

Yu Li knew that Yan Jiecheng was planning to tell his younger brothers and sisters about Yan Bugui’s death, but wouldn’t that be slapping himself in the face? How would he explain it then?

Yan Jiecheng suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were not appropriate. He looked at Yu Li gratefully and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning, is that okay?"

Yu Li nodded to show her agreement, then turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, the Yan family returned to the courtyard one after another. Yan Jiecheng noticed that everyone seemed calm and not many people were particularly sad about their father's death.

Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Jiecheng and asked in confusion: "Brother, how did you know that Dad was dead?"

Yan Jiefang was not that upset, but he wanted to know whether his father was killed by someone, so that he could extort some money from that person.

Yan Jiecheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "When I came here, my father had already passed away."

Yan Jiekuang looked unhappy after hearing this. He asked, "Brother, where is Dad's money?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at them helplessly. Although he knew that he had already searched everywhere, he couldn't let them know now. He said, "How should I know? I just got here too."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. After all, Yan Jiecheng was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

However, at this moment, Yan Jiedi suddenly came over and asked anxiously, "Brother, when did Dad leave?"

Yan Jiecheng was going to answer truthfully that it was last night, but when the words came to his lips, Yu Li kicked him hard. Yu Li quickly interrupted and said, "How do we know this? When we got up in the morning, we came to see how Dad was doing. Who would have thought that Dad would just die like this?"

Yan Jiecheng also knew that he almost said too much, so he stopped talking. After all, the more he said, the more mistakes he made.

After hearing this, Yan Jie Di felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

Just when the situation was awkward, Yan Jiefang suddenly seemed to remember something. He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, now I remember, our father has been doing business with Liu Haizhong. He must be very rich!"

The other members of the Yan family were obviously unaware of this matter. They all looked at Yan Jiefang in surprise. Yan Jiecheng also shook his head and said helplessly: "How would I know where the money is? You can go and look for it yourself."

After that, the whole family began to search busily. Everyone was anxious and rummaged around for places where important items might be hidden. However, only Yu Li stood quietly aside, her eyes fixed on a corner, as if she was thinking about something. After all, she had already searched carefully before.

Just as everyone was anxiously searching, Liu Guangtian suddenly returned to the courtyard. He felt a little uneasy and thought it would be better to come to Yan's house to check the situation. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Liu Guangtian felt a strange atmosphere.

When he walked into the room, he saw Yan Bugui lying quietly on the kang, lifeless. Yan Jiecheng happened to see Liu Guangtian coming, he walked up to him quickly, and asked with a worried look on his face: "Guangtian, I have something to ask you."

Liu Guangtian had never expected Yan Bugui to pass away so suddenly. He felt nervous and nodded quickly, saying, "Xie Cheng, just ask me if you have any questions."

Yan Jiecheng stared at Liu Guangtian, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and helplessness. He slowly said: "Guangtian, didn't my father do business with you before? How did he end up like this?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head heavily and explained, "Teacher Yan is no longer cooperating with us. He is now doing business with Xu Damao. Moreover, I heard that Xu Damao seems to have been arrested."

Liu Guangtian didn't expect that Yan Bugui was dead. It seemed that this matter must be related to Qin Jingru, so he could talk to Qin Jingru about it.

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng's face became more solemn. He nodded silently to show his understanding. Seeing this, Liu Guangtian didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left Yan's house.

Yan Jiecheng watched Liu Guangtian leave, then turned to look at his brothers and sisters and said with a heavy heart: "It seems that Dad lost money in business. I'm afraid there is no money left at home."

Yan Jiekuang looked at Yan Jiecheng unhappily: "Brother, this is not right. Dad lost money in business. Should we go to Xu Damao to ask for money?"

After listening to his brother's words, Yan Jiecheng felt that what he said made sense, and nodded: "Well, you are right. Although Xu Damao has been arrested, he still has a house. When he is released, we can discuss with him to take the house over."

Yan Jiefang looked at his brother and continued, "Brother, I think we can not only get back Xu Damao's house, but also sell this courtyard house, so that we can get some money."

After hearing what his brother said, Yan Jiecheng was moved and thought that this was indeed a good idea. But he immediately thought of the most urgent task at hand - to hold a funeral for his father.

"But now we have to hold a funeral for Dad first, which will cost a lot of money." Yan Jiecheng frowned and said, after all, no one would come up with that much money.

Yan Jiefang thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you are right. A funeral is a big deal and we can't be careless. But we can discuss selling the house after the funeral."

Yan Jiecheng felt that what his brother said made sense, so they began to discuss the details of the funeral.

During the discussion, everyone realized one thing: no one wanted to spend more money on the funeral. After all, everyone's financial situation is different, and everyone has their own family to take care of.
