Chapter 179: Becoming a Blackmail Tool in the 7th Generation (2)
Since Xiaojuzi didn't say anything, Shuangshuang gave him instructions directly.
"Keep an eye on them. Opportunities won't come to us. We have to find them ourselves."
Little Orange tried to hold back but still couldn't help making a sound.
"Didn't you say you wanted to find out if Chen Dabao was Wu Tiezhu's son?"
“I’ve thought about that too.
Whether he is or not, he must not be until Wu Tiezhu dies!
Otherwise, wouldn't the few rooms left by my mother be so cheap for him?"
After the autumn harvest, it’s time to plant radishes, cabbages, wheat and potatoes.
After all this is done, there is much less work to do in the fields.
At this time, no one will care if some of the elderly or those in poor health do not go to the work brigade.
Therefore, Li's mother ordered Shuangshuang not to go to the fields to work, but only to do housework at home.
The men would occasionally take a day off from work to go to the mountains to collect more firewood and store it.
This is also the opportunity that both of them are looking for.
That day, Little Orange reminded her.
"Today, Wu Tiezhu and Liu Zhaodi didn't go to work. Instead, they went to the mountains to collect firewood for the winter."
Shuangshuang immediately took out a set of clothes that she had never worn before from the space and went to wait in the mountains.
Shuangshuang's method was direct and rough. They took advantage of the two people while they were busy chopping firewood.
He used his roots to quickly knock down a large tree next to the two of them.
Everyone only heard a loud "bang" and then wailing from the other side.
They quickly ran over to take a look, and saw a huge tree that was as big as a hug pressing down on Wu Tiezhu and Liu Zhaodi.
The two men were spitting blood from their mouths and were breathing out more than inhaling.
Even if they disliked them at ordinary times, the villagers naturally could not ignore it when something like this happened.
They quickly worked together to move the tree away, then quickly made a simple stretcher with wooden sticks and carried the two people down the mountain.
The barefoot doctor who got the news and was running up the mountain quickly lifted the eyelids of the two people, took their pulses, and then put his ears to their chests to listen.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "No need to go to the hospital. It's useless now."
Wu Tiezhu is an orphan. He has no direct relatives, and the only one is the original owner's daughter.
At this moment, someone immediately suggested, "Go and call the two girls back."
Naturally, some young people went to the brigade headquarters to borrow bicycles to pick people up.
When Shuangshuang hurried over, the bodies of the two men had already been placed on the door panels in the main room.
Everyone asked Shuangshuang what to do, and no one thought of asking Chen Daya and Chen Dabao.
It’s not because they are young, but because their surname is Chen and they have nothing to do with the old Wu family!
What can Shuangshuang do?
Of course it’s a good acting.
As soon as she saw Wu Tiezhu like this, she immediately burst into tears.
This made the villagers whisper to each other, secretly praising Shuangshuang for her kindness and loyalty.
Even though Wu Tiezhu treated her so badly on a daily basis, she still cried so sadly when he died.
Shuangshuang ignored the discussions and continued to cry and talk to Wu Youjia.
“Uncle, you also know that I am someone’s daughter-in-law.
When I got married, my husband gave them 100 yuan as a betrothal gift.
However, I was not given a single cent of dowry. I am really sorry, I am really in financial difficulty now.
How about this, please ask the aunties and sisters for a favor and search their rooms. I think there must be some spare money there.
As for me, I won’t go.
This will save Chen Zaohua and Chen Dabao from having trouble explaining it when they get back."
Everyone also felt that Shuangshuang was right, so Aunt Yun and two aunts from the Wu family went into Wu Tiezhu's room together.
However, after searching the entire room, he didn't find a penny, but he did find the title deed of the house.
Seeing this, Shuangshuang cried even more sadly.
"My dear uncles and aunts, it's all my fault that I'm useless. I haven't saved a penny in these years.
Now I don’t even have the ability to hold a funeral for my father and let him pass away in a dignified manner.”
The other aunts also cried with Shuangshuang and offered comfort.
"How can I blame you for this?
With such a stepmother, the fact that you were able to grow up alive is also because your mother is still alive in heaven."
Wu Youjia sighed. Wu Tiezhu was a cruel person when he was alive, and after his death he made his only daughter feel embarrassed.
But no matter how difficult it was, some things still had to be done, so he waited until everyone had persuaded him before speaking.
“Sisters, now is not the time to cry.
What should you do about your father's funeral? As a filial daughter, you must ask this question."
Both of them understood what Wu Tiezhu meant. They were still young and definitely had not prepared any funeral supplies.
Now I have to decide whether to buy it or just nail one together randomly using a few boards.
No one else can be held responsible for this kind of thing, so both parties have to speak out.
If it were according to Shuangshuang's idea, she just wanted to wrap the person in a straw mat and drag him out to bury him.
But openly, she couldn't do that, and besides, she had her own plans.
So they both looked around at everyone in embarrassment, and finally said to the captain embarrassedly.
"My uncle is so useless as a niece that I can't afford to buy funeral supplies for my father.
How about this, my father doesn’t have a biological son anyway.
I am also a married daughter and will settle down there in the future.
As for Chen Dabao and Chen Daya, they are children of the Chen family.
His mother has been married to my family for so many years, and she hasn't even changed her surname.
I don’t think you are qualified to inherit my father’s property.
What I mean is this, can you guys think about it?"
Seeing that Shuangshuang had laid so much groundwork but still hadn't gotten to the point, Wu Youjia knew that it must be a difficult matter.
So he took a puff of cigarette silently and then said.
"Tell me what you have to say, and let's discuss it together."
“Then being a niece is what I mean.
My family has nothing now, and only these few rooms are left.
Or you can see if there are any uncles or aunts that you like?
I don’t ask for much, just enough to buy two sets of thin coffins.”
As soon as Shuangshuang said this, everyone's eyes lit up and they started talking about it with their families.
Apart from anything else, Old Wu’s house is built entirely with red bricks and tiles.
It was built by Wu Tiezhu and Shuangshuang's mother after they got married.
It has only been more than ten years since then, and this was the first of its kind in Wujia Village.
Someone immediately asked loudly.
"Shuangmei, are you serious?"
They both nodded firmly. "Don't worry, the captain and the secretary are here, I will keep my word.
Whoever can afford two sets of funeral supplies will own the house!
I only take the food my father left behind, I don't want anything else."
"You don't even want the furniture?"
"No, I don't have anywhere to put it."
Everyone was talking again.
Finally, Shuangshuang's cousin, who was not yet five years old, spoke up.
"Sister Shuang, since that's the case, uncle won't be polite with you.
I gave you this coffin, which I prepared for your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. What do you think? "
