Jia Yue asked blankly, "My dad is gone?"
After saying that, Jia Yue closed her eyes and fainted.
Her fainting wasn't too surprising; everyone had already accepted the impression that she wasn't in good health.
The doctor came and tried to wake Jiayue up before she finally did. When she saw that Jiayue was awake, Aunt Chen was the first to speak: "Jiayue, your father is gone, you have to take good care of yourself."
Jia Yue nodded: "Thank you, Auntie. I understand. I need your help to take care of my father's funeral arrangements. I have no experience with that."
"Don't worry, we're all watching! By the way, what about Yao Dang?"
Xu Yaodang is crying right here!
“Auntie, I heard my dad and stepmother talking. Yaodang is not my brother. I don’t know what to do. But his maternal grandparents are still alive. If all else fails, let’s wait for the police to find out who his biological father is. Let’s take care of my dad’s funeral first.”
“You’re right. As for Yao Dang, send him to his older sister first.”
Although Jia Yue's stepsister's in-laws lived in a large courtyard, they weren't very sociable. However, according to blood relations, it wasn't Jia Yue's place to worry about Yao's faction.
The two are not related by blood. Her mother killed her father, and she was only sixteen.
Everyone started making arrangements for Xu Jiancheng's funeral, one after another.
Nowadays, we can't hold a grand ceremony because we have to avoid feudal superstitions. Xu Jiancheng's body will definitely be cremated after the police finish interrogating Wang Cuihua.
As darkness fell, Jia Yue stopped staying at the hospital and went back to the compound with everyone else.
After Yao Dang returned, he was taken directly to his older sister's place. As for where he would go in the future, it would depend on whether the police could find out who his biological father was.
Wang Cuihua wasn't someone who could handle things easily, so finding out who Yao Dang's biological father was shouldn't have been difficult for her.
Based on Jia Yue's understanding of Wang Cuihua, the person she's looking for probably isn't in Beijing.
The next day, Jia Yue got up very early and went to Aunt Chen's house first.
“Auntie, I want to go and inform my father’s relatives. I visited them once when I was a child, but I don’t know if they are still there. Now that my father has passed away, I want to have more people to see him off.”
Aunt Chen had no idea if Xu Jiancheng had any relatives left, but in any case, no one had come looking for Xu Jiancheng in recent years.
Xu Jiancheng was able to marry an only child because he was all alone and had no relatives, which was something that Jia Yue's maternal grandparents valued.
The people in the courtyard didn't know the details of these matters.
"Hurry up and drive carefully."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"Don't mention it!"
Jia Yue wasn't going to visit any relatives; she was going to ask for leave. It was just bad luck that Xu Jiancheng died on her second day of work, and his job opening became available. If he had died a few days earlier, she wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
Riding her bicycle, Jia Yue went to the daily chemical factory, but they hadn't started work yet! She went straight to Team Leader Wang's house. Team Leader Wang lived in a house allocated by the daily chemical factory, and she had specifically memorized her address yesterday.
Early in the morning, when Wang Qin saw Jia Yue arrive on her bicycle, she was startled: "Xu Jia Yue, what brings you here so early?"
Jia Yue's eyes were still red: "Sister Wang, my dad passed away yesterday. I have to take care of his funeral arrangements, so I need to ask you for a few days off."
Upon hearing the news of her loved one's passing, Wang Qin immediately understood: "Don't cry. You're asking for leave, right? No problem, I'll arrange it. Even though your father is gone, you still have to live your life well."
Not knowing Jia Yue's family situation, Wang Qin offered some polite words of comfort, and Jia Yue nodded before leaving.
When Aunt Chen saw Jia Yue return, she asked her, "Did you find the person?"
Jia Yue shook her head: "No, I guess I remembered it wrong."
"It's normal that you can't remember the relatives you met when you were a child. If you can't find them, you can't find them. You haven't been in contact for many years, so the relationship is probably distant."
Jia Yue nodded: "That's right, thank you for the bicycle, Auntie. Where should I put it?"
"Just leave it there."
After putting down her bicycle, Jia Yue began to wholeheartedly prepare for Xu Jiancheng's funeral. Actually, there wasn't much to prepare; these days, there weren't many customs, and in the capital city, one couldn't be too particular.
Jia Yue didn't intend to give Xu Jiancheng a grand funeral, and given her young age, she just wanted something that looked decent on the surface.
Three days after Xu Jiancheng's death, the police came to the door again. Wang Cuihua confessed to killing Xu Jiancheng. There was nothing they could do if she didn't confess, since she had done it in full view of everyone.
Xu Yaodang's own father also asked about it. She was from the next village from her mother's family, and was her late husband's good brother. The relationship was quite complicated.
Xu Yaodang will be sent back to his biological father.
Xu Jiancheng's body was taken directly from the hospital to be cremated.
Jia Yue buried Xu Jiancheng that very day.
People from the factory came to the burial.
Firstly, Xu Jiancheng was a factory worker, not a high-ranking one, but with a long tenure, so seeing him off was a gesture of human compassion.
Secondly, it's because of work.
There were others eyeing this job, but Jia Yue was now an orphan, so even if the factory had ideas, they wouldn't dare to secretly arrange a job for her.
The little girl is young, has lost her family, and is all alone. If she is bullied too much, she can really cause a lot of trouble.
"Comrade Xu Jiayue, please accept my condolences. Although your father is gone, life must go on. If you need anything in the future, please come to the factory. The factory will definitely help you."
Jia Yue nodded: "Thank you for your concern, leader. I understand."
"Your dad has passed away, and you're taking over his work. When do you plan to take over?"
Jia Yue thought for a moment and said, "I haven't graduated yet, and I have exams coming up soon. I'd like to wait a few more days. Is that alright?"
“Okay, I’m the director of the organization department in the factory. You can come to me anytime to discuss the handover of work, and I’ll arrange it for you.”
