"So that's how it is. They're such scoundrels."

Hearing that the group had come specifically for the old lady's inheritance and that they hadn't even shown up for her funeral, the two realized that Xia Lan was in charge of the funeral arrangements.

The neighbors all admired Xia Lan, who treated the old lady like her granddaughter, taking care of her until her death and arranging everything properly.

Many people admire such virtues.

The old lady's funeral was a happy one, and Xia Lan even gave everyone candy. There's no need to cry at a happy funeral; we should be happy for the old lady.

Although Xia Lan was smiling, everyone could tell that she was very sad, which was touching to see.

They had also heard of Xia Lan's deeds and admired her greatly.

They believed in Xia Lan.

Since it's Xia Lan, then there's no problem.

The police returned all the documents to Xia Lan and saluted her.

"Comrade Xia Lan, there's no problem at all. Sorry to bother you."

"Thank you for your trouble, you even made a special trip."

"This is what we should do."

"I am sorry for your loss."

The two police officers glanced at Xia Lan, and when they turned to look at the group of people, their expressions instantly darkened.

"You are suspected of making a false police report. Please come with us to the police station."

Hearing what the police said, they were all dumbfounded.

"No, officer, she's the one who's lying!"

"Yes! She cheated us old ladies out of our house and belongings. Shouldn't you make her return them to us?"

"Did you take some bribes from her and speak up for her...?"

Upon hearing this, the two police officers' faces instantly darkened.

"Not only did they make a false police report, they also openly insulted our police force."

"Walk!"

The two men got angry and dragged the men to the police station.

"No, officer, we were wrong, we will never do it again."

"Officer, it was my fault for being so blunt, please forgive me..."

"Officer, oh dear, we won't report it, we won't report it..."

The group was so frightened that they apologized repeatedly, but it was too late.

"It's too late."

The two police officers sneered.

They were forcibly taken back to the police station.

Those who make false police reports and openly insult the police must be detained for half a month.

Xia Lan sighed. Half a month has passed since the old lady left, and all sorts of strange and monstrous things have come out.

After tidying up the house, Xia Lan burned the old lady's and old man's clothes and gave them to them.

Back home, Xiao Yuqin looked at Xia Lan and took her hand.

Are you still feeling unwell?

Xia Lan nodded.

"Girl, you should be happy for her."

Qin Ming and Grandpa Lou glanced at Xia Lan, feeling both gratified by her kindness and heartbroken at her distress.

"I'm happy for her."

Xia Lan looked up at Qin Ming and Old Master Lou.

"I just never expected her to just disappear like that..."

What saddened Xia Lan was that just a moment ago the old lady was talking to her, and the next moment, the old lady had fallen asleep...

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature. Do you know how many people can live to see their lamp burn out? Very few. To die like that is the greatest blessing."

Grandpa Lou patted Xia Lan on the shoulder, comforting her.

"Um."

She understands the reasoning; it's just a matter of time before she accepts it.

"Grandpa, Dad, please quit smoking!"

Xia Lan looked at Qin Jun and Qin Ming and suddenly said.

"..."

Qin Ming and Qin Jun were instantly dumbfounded.

No, they were talking about it properly, how did it turn into them wanting to quit smoking?

Qin Ming, a smoker for decades, smokes several cigarettes every day.

"Girl, I'm already this old, just let me have a few days of peace..."

Qin Ming looked at Xia Lan pitifully.

"Look, I might go there any day now, so I might as well enjoy myself while I can..."

Qin Ming pointed to the spot where the bullet had been fired and pleaded.

Xia Lan looked at Qin Ming with a conflicted expression, then turned to look at Qin Jun.

Xiao Yuqin looked at Qin Jun. "Dad said that, what about you? What reason do you have not to quit?"

Looking at Xiao Yuqin and Xia Lan, Qin Jun touched his nose.

"I have no reason not to quit, I'm just used to it..."

Qin Jun had no worries. He had a wife, a son, a daughter-in-law, and two beloved grandchildren at home, so he really had nothing to worry about.

But smoking is a habit...

These are habits that have been around for decades, and it's really hard to change them overnight.

"I believe you can do it."

Xia Lan smiled at Qin Jun.

"What about Qin Yu? Let him quit too!"

Qin Jun thought of his son and immediately gritted his teeth and said.

Someone has to be dragged down with them; he can't be the only one suffering.

What's wrong with me?

Qin Yu walked in from outside, calmly taking off his coat.

“We’re trying to get Dad to quit smoking! Dad said you should quit too.”

Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, who shrugged indifferently.

"I can!"

Qin Yu didn't really like smoking; he only smoked when he needed to socialize outside.

"You little brat, don't make it sound so easy."

Qin Jun said dejectedly.

Qin Yu smiled confidently.

"Shall we give it a try? Let's set a month first and see who can abstain from cigarettes."

Xia Lan clapped her hands.

"This method is good."

"Dad, keep it up! I believe in you."

"OK!"

Qin Jun gritted his teeth; for the sake of this pride, he was willing to take the gamble.

Xia Lan and Qin Yu exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Xiao Yuqin chuckled as she looked at Qin Jun, who had been tricked.
