Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

Chapter 640 Where is the little master?

"Oh no! What are we going to do?!"

Qin Huairu looked at the tightly closed gate of Zhang Shihou's house and felt a headache coming on.

I don't know how Jia Zhangshi got along; even her closest nephew's family didn't care about her.

Zhang Shih-hao had previously said that he would take care of Jia Zhang-shi in her old age and see her off when she was old and could no longer walk, and carry her on his back every day.

That's complete utter nonsense!

It's true what they say: mountains crumble, people run away...

Helpless, Qin Huairu could only continue searching for other relatives of Jia Zhangshi in the village. She secretly made up her mind...

"We must find someone to handle Jia Zhangshi's funeral arrangements today, no matter what!"

However, after visiting the entire Zhangjia Village, she still couldn't find a single person willing to help.

It wasn't that the villagers were cold-blooded, but rather that a few months ago, after Zhang Shihao was driven out of the courtyard house, he returned to the village and went door-to-door telling his story, while also spreading rumors about the Jia family's evil deeds.

Although the people of Zhangjia Village were very angry when they heard about it, they were not so angry that they would collectively cause trouble at the courtyard.

However, from then on, they also came to know the true nature of the Jia family.

Now Qin Huairu actually wants to ask them to handle Jia Zhangshi's funeral arrangements.

no way!

Qin Huairu thought that by playing the victim and feigning pitifulness, she could gain the villagers' sympathy and help, but instead, she was met only with gloating and endless abuse.

"The last time I saw Jia Zhangshi, I felt she wasn't human. This is retribution!"

"Serves her right! Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. It's good that Jia Zhangshi died!"

"You morally corrupt bastard, get out of our village right now!"

"That's right! Get out of here now! If you don't leave, I'll have the village security team deal with you!"

"Nobody should help the Jia family! Anyone who does will suffer a terrible fate!"

"..."

Qin Huairu worked hard for most of the day on an empty stomach, but not only was no one willing to help her, she didn't even get a sip of water.

He suddenly felt extremely hungry, and his throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire.

But seeing the villagers with unfriendly expressions, she could only drag her exhausted body slowly back towards the courtyard.

"Hmph! Farmers are just farmers, they have no humanity at all. Don't even think about getting any benefits from my family in the future!"

Fortunately, I still have Bang Geng and Xiao Dang. Once they grow up, things will definitely get better.

Banggeng is quick-witted. He can easily find a job in the city and earn more in a month than the farmers in Zhangjia Village, who toil in the fields all year round.

My daughter is just like me; she's been a beauty since she was little. When she turns 18...16, I'll find her a good family to marry into, and getting a dowry of a few hundred yuan won't be a problem.

As Qin Huairu walked home, she comforted herself.

The more she thought about it, the more energetic she became, and the more promising the future seemed. Her steps unconsciously became lighter, and she soon returned to the courtyard house.

……

"What bad luck!"

As soon as Qin Huairu opened the door, her gaze fell on the body of Jia Zhangshi.

She couldn't help but curse, then walked into the inner room with a displeased expression.

"Sigh! Since the Zhang family refuses to help Jia Zhangshi, it seems we can only continue to ask the people in the courtyard for help."

No matter what, Madam Jia had lived in the courtyard for decades. Everyone saw each other all the time. Even if there wasn't any deep affection between them, the people in the courtyard couldn't just stand by and watch her rot and stink, could they?

Let's see how these people manage to live in the courtyard house then!

Qin Huairu was sleepy, tired, and hungry, and planned to cover the children with blankets as usual before going to sleep.

But as soon as she covered the stick with the blanket, she suddenly realized that the place where Xiao Dang should have been sleeping was now empty.

Qin Huairu? ?!

"Where's the young master??"

……
