Yu Dabao plopped down in a chair and sighed heavily. "Second brother, we missed the vigil this time we came back. The villagers are definitely gossiping behind our backs. What do you suggest we do?"
I don't really care, I'm just a rough guy anyway, but you're different.
You're a college student, and you're destined to bring honor to your family and achieve great things. You might even enter the government and become a state cadre!
Our reputation must not be tarnished by them.
Yu Dabao was thinking about his younger brother with all his heart. He even thought to himself that it was a good thing his younger brother hadn't gone to his second uncle's house earlier, otherwise his second aunt's words would have made his younger brother want to vomit.
Yu Erbao rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself, "So you're the only one who cares about what the villagers think?"
But he said, "Brother, this matter can't be rushed. We need to discuss it carefully."
However, to be honest, that's not our main purpose in coming back this time.
They have mouths on their bodies, and we can't stop them from talking.
Anyway, we'll be back soon and won't see them again, so you don't need to worry too much about what they say.
Yu Erbao thought to himself, once he got the money, how could he possibly return to this poor, remote place?
He's going to marry the leader's daughter and become a superior person.
Yu Dabao nodded, as if he had suddenly remembered something, "Second brother, you're right. Once you become an official, who will care what those ignorant villagers say?"
Although Grandma died suddenly, she enjoyed a lot of happiness in her life, so her life was not in vain.
We used to treat the milk well, and we considered it our way of showing filial piety.
She must have left behind a considerable fortune, which can be considered compensation for us.
It's unlikely that the second wife's family will easily take out Grandma's savings.
That second auntie doesn't look like a good person at all.
If my second uncle hadn't stopped me, I might have hit her today.
That wretched woman! Grandma is paralyzed, and she doesn't take care of her. She leaves Grandma to my mother alone, which is why my mother and Grandma had a conflict.
Perhaps that wicked woman played a part in Grandma's death.
Yu Dabao talked on and on about his grievances.
Yu Erbao pushed up his glasses, revealing a calculating look. "Brother, that's what I think too, but we can't rush things."
After we finish paying respects to Grandma tomorrow, we'll bring this up with my second uncle and the others, and sound them out first.
If they dare to take it all for themselves, we can't let them off easily.
Yu Dabao scratched his head. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
But second brother, do you think the second branch of the family might really have swallowed all of Mother's money?
Do they really have that much guts?
Yu Erbao sneered, "Hmph, that Yang Juhua is no pushover. In my opinion, it's highly likely."
But we need some evidence first, otherwise, without proof, they definitely won't admit it.
"Evidence? Where are we supposed to find evidence?"
Yu Dabao looked completely bewildered.
After all, they weren't present when their grandmother died, and their mother is currently in detention and can't come out to testify.
If my second uncle and his wife refuse to admit that they took my grandmother's savings, then it will be quite a hassle.
However, it seems that there's no use in rushing this matter.
Yu Erbao patted his shoulder, then his eyes lit up. "Brother, don't rush."
Let's think about where Mom usually keeps her things; maybe we can find some clues, like bank deposit slips or something.
"Big brother, you're right. There might be a stub. Maybe Uncle and the others haven't found it either!"
For example, let's search Grandma's room thoroughly.
Yu Erbao nodded, agreeing with his older brother's idea, and thought to himself that his older brother didn't seem so stupid after all.
So the two brothers started rummaging through the house, searching every corner, until they were panting heavily, but they found nothing.
"What am I going to do? There's nothing here." Yu Dabao slumped to the ground, dejected.
It was utterly despicable. They endured the stench of the house, but found nothing, not even one of the old woman's old clothes.
Yu Erbao frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Brother, don't rush."
When you talk to your second uncle and the others tomorrow, pay attention to their expressions; you might be able to glean some clues.
Moreover, we need to find a way to get them to voluntarily hand over the money.
Yu Dabao looked up, a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Erbao, what's your idea? Tell me quickly."
Yu Erbao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile. "Tomorrow, we'll do it like this..."
The two men huddled together, whispering their secret plot. In the dim light, their shadows stretched long, making them look like two scheming conspirators.
Yu Dabao smiled with delight upon hearing his second brother's words.
Yu Chengyuan had just finished showering and returned to his room when he heard his wife say, "Chengyuan, do you know, Yu Sanzhu's two sons are back."
Yu Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Wife, did those two brothers really come back? Did you see them with your own eyes?"
"It's true, Yu Dabao and Yu Erbao, they're back. I heard that someone saw them and even went to look for the two brothers."
Liu Sulan nodded and said.
"The village chief went to them because he felt that the two of them had done something wrong. They hadn't even come back when Old Lady Wang died, so it was impossible for the village chief to say nothing at all."
So the village chief must have gone to lecture those two.
Yu Chengyuan thought to himself that their return was definitely not a good thing.
"You don't know, the two of them came back to burn paper money for Old Lady Wang."
The village chief agreed.
However, I always felt that if the two brothers were truly filial, they would overcome all difficulties to return, even if it were raining knives from the sky.
Now that the person has been buried, who are you trying to fool with this fake act? Do you really think everyone is a fool?
I could tell those two were up to no good when they came back.
Cheng Yuan, you must be careful; you can't completely trust those two brothers.
Liu Sulan reminded her.
"Yes, wife, don't worry. I can guess what bad ideas those two brothers are up to."
If they don't bother me, I won't bother them.
If they dare to mess with me, I'll make them regret it.
Yu Chengyuan patted his wife on the shoulder, completely unconcerned about what those two were up to.
"Wife, I have something to say to my elder brother, so I'll go to his room first."
You and the child should go to sleep first!
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, then go quickly!"
I'm waiting for you."
"Okay, I'll just say a few words to my brother and then go back to my room right away."
Yu Chengyuan nodded and walked into his elder brother's room.
