He immediately saw Ye Zi: "Ye Zi, have you prepared these things at home?"

Chen Ye shook his head and then nodded: "After my grandparents could no longer move, I went up the mountain to find wood to make coffins for them. I didn't have the money or cloth coupons to make funeral clothes. I really didn't have the ability."

"Grandma still has a set of clothes that look okay. I washed them but never took them out for her to wear. Is that okay?"

The team leader nodded quickly and said, "Okay, find it out quickly and let the aunts help you change your grandparents into clean clothes." If he waited any longer, he would get stiff and couldn't wear the clothes.

Chen Ye acted quickly and first found two sets of clothes from the wooden box at the end of the kang. These clothes also had patches on them, but they were slightly better.

But nowadays, every family is poor, and no one cares about giving the dead new clothes. If the living can't wear new clothes, what else can the dead ask for? The living will definitely come first.

Most of the elderly people in the village who passed away were wearing old clothes. Some of them were from really poor families, and their clothes could not even cover their bodies, but they were still buried in peace.

The old people in the village drove Chen Ye out of the house. Ye was still a child, so these things could be handled by the older people like them.

Chen Ye didn't resist. She didn't like serving two old men. She went to the shed in the backyard. The men in the village followed her and carried the coffin out of the shed.

It can be seen that the coffin is quite rough and the wooden boards are not very thick, but it is good enough that a half-grown child thought of preparing it. No one would complain about it being poorly made.

Chen Ye prepared a coffin in advance, fearing that he would have to borrow one on that day. He could borrow it, but who would return it when the time came?

It is impossible to expect Chen Laoer to pay it back. If he doesn't pay it back when the time comes, it will become her debt. It would be better for her to make two hastily made ones in advance to make do.

They lived near the mountains and had no shortage of wood. If they really gave the straw mats to the two old men, even she would be criticized.

Although the coffin was flimsy, none of the old people in the village found fault with it. They only muttered in their hearts that the two sons of the Chen family were ungrateful. They felt even more pity for Chen Ye. A half-grown child did better than an adult. What else was there to complain about?

In this special period, there are not so many rules for weddings and funerals. In other words, when the two old people passed away in the afternoon, they could have been taken directly to the mountain and buried in the morning.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was impossible for everyone to stay here. Usually, those who stayed here were close relatives. The Chen family had no relatives in the village except for a younger brother who had severed ties with the family.

As it got dark, the old men and women in the village left one by one. The team leader took a look at the sky and decided to go back.

"Okay, let's all go back. Tomorrow morning, those who have time can come and help take the old man up the mountain."

"Understood, Captain. Shall we go now?"

"Let's go, let's go together. Chen Lao Er, you should also get ready. We will send your parents up the mountain early tomorrow morning. Prepare everything in advance."

Maybe this day was too thrilling, Chen Laoer was very depressed at the moment. No matter what others said to him, he just nodded, and no one knew whether he listened or not.

Chen Ye quickly stood up and saw the villagers out. Chen Laoer was like a fool. He didn't even say hello to people who came, nor did he know how to see people off when they left. People like this don't understand the ways of the world at all, which is very annoying.

The captain walked to the door and said, "Ye Zi, if anything happens, go to the village and call for help. I don't think you can rely on your second uncle anymore."

"I understand, Uncle Zheng, don't worry."

Zheng Bing looked back at Chen Laoer who was sitting there stupidly, shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

It is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that these two old people are gone. With these two old people, Ye Zi still has a home. Once these two old people are gone, what will Ye Zi do in the future?

It seems that the matter is settled. I have to discuss with Lao Wang what to do with Ye Zi in the future. I can't count on the Chen family. Even if Chen Lao Er agrees to raise Ye Zi, they dare not let Ye Zi follow him.

Chen Laoer is not a serious man, and the wife he married is not a good one either. If Ye Zi really lives with Chen Laoer, her life in the future will be even more difficult than before.

Ye Zi was the child they had watched grow up, and they couldn't just send her into a den of wolves. They couldn't even see the shadow of Boss Chen whether he was dead or alive, so they had to inform Boss Chen about Ye Zi's future plans.

There are things happening everywhere every day.

After Chen Ye sent the villagers away, she turned around and saw Chen Laoer running back to his room and closing the door tightly. She could even hear the sound of the door being locked from inside.

Chen Ye glanced at the temporary mourning tent with oil lamps lit. Was he scared?

Of course he was scared. Chen Laoer was not very courageous to begin with, and now he was carrying the reputation of killing his mother, so he felt very intimidated.

The situation was better when there were people in the yard. But when there was no one in the yard, he always felt that his mother was standing aside and staring at him, so he was scared and went back into the house.

Chen Ye had no time to deal with Chen Laoer. She went straight to the house where the old couple lived and walked straight to the place where Old Lady Chen was going to point at before she died.

This is where the wooden box is placed at the end of the kang. Chen Ye knows exactly what is in the wooden box. After all, she tidied up the room after the two old people passed away.

At that time, she cleaned the entire house and only found about ten yuan in change, nothing else. She thought that the Chen family really had nothing.

But the expression on the old lady's face when she breathed her last today showed that there was something in the house that she didn't know about, but Chen Laoer didn't have the patience to talk to the old lady properly.

Otherwise, these things would definitely belong to Chen Laoer. Who could have thought that such a dramatic scene would happen. Old Mrs. Chen, who was about to die, was killed by Chen Laoer in advance.

But it also let her know where those things were hidden. After all, the Chen family has been poor farmers for eight generations, so where did the good things come from?

She had never seen the eldest brother Chen mail anything back home, and it was good enough that the second brother Chen didn't come to ask for things, let alone give money to the two old people. She always thought that the Chen family was really poor.

She took a look at the place where the wooden box was placed, thought about it, and moved the wooden box away. She knocked on the wall first. The yellow mud houses were made directly of adobe.

Unlike bricks, where you can remove the bricks to hide things, they are all one piece and there is no place to hide things.

Then she looked at the earthen kang. The characteristic of this place is that almost every house has a big kang, and at the end of the kang there is a wooden box or wooden cabinet to store things.

Even if the kang is heated, the end of the kang will not be very hot, which is perfect for placing these boxes and cabinets.
