After listening to Grandma Yang's words, Su Yue finally understood that her dislike for Huo Yunqi and his wife stemmed not only from a deep-seated, unspeakable aversion, but also from this important reason.
Wang Jingyi looked at Grandma Yang and asked, "Mom, did you keep Aunt Huo's house deed?"
Grandma Yang shook her head and slowly recounted the past: "I didn't accept it. Before Xue Shen's mother passed away, she specifically asked me to come to the hospital. It turned out she wanted me to help her retrieve the property deed from the bank safe deposit box and change the owner..."
During her last few days in the hospital, Huo's mother learned that her younger son had been lied to by his older son over the phone, who told him that he had died. When the younger son rushed back, he was labeled a "black five category" by the Revolutionary Committee and was even admitted to the emergency room once.
Knowing that her time was coming to an end and that she would not be able to wait for her eldest son to come and give her an explanation, she asked someone to call Grandma Yang and tell her that there were valuables in the safe deposit box.
After handling her funeral arrangements, find an excuse to go to her room and find the tattered oil lamp bottle placed under the window.
The key to the safe deposit box was inside. Then, she took the key to the bank and changed the name of the homeowner to Huo Xueshen.
If Huo Xueshen were to return to Beicheng safely one day, she would give him the key; if he were to not return, she would leave the key to her son, Yang Guohua.
Upon hearing Huo's mother's request, Grandma Yang quickly promised to take good care of Huo Xueshen and pledged to help him make ends meet and send him food regularly once he arrived at his assigned post.
As for the house, she was adamant that it was more appropriate to leave it to Huo Xueshen.
Not to mention that Huo's mother has an older son and daughter-in-law besides Huo Xueshen, even if she didn't, Grandma Yang never thought of taking over her house.
After handling the funeral arrangements for Huo's mother, Grandma Yang and Grandpa Yang, working in perfect unison, one carrying a broom and the other a trash can, went to the Huo family home together.
Huo Yunqi and Zhang Qiushui, a married couple, stared warily at Grandma Yang and the others, their eyes like they were looking at thieves.
Grandma Yang didn't care about their stares and went into Mrs. Huo's room with Grandpa Yang.
Upon entering, the two couldn't help but gasp. The clothes in the closet were in disarray, and the drawers were ransacked, as if they had been robbed.
It's obvious who did it, and even clearer what they're looking for.
Grandma Yang snorted inwardly, thinking that these two still had the nerve to look at her and the old man with the eyes of someone looking at thieves.
The two men took a large sack and threw away everything that needed to be thrown away, including Huo's mother's clothes, sheets, and shoes.
Without these things, the room suddenly felt empty, and everything was clearly visible.
Huo Yunqi and Zhang Qiushui, finding nothing suspicious, left.
Seeing this, Grandma Yang quickly put the key from the oil lamp bottle into her pocket.
After Grandma Yang finished speaking, Su Yue, Fu Shen, and Wang Jingyi all fell silent.
Grandpa Yang was also involved in this matter, but at this moment he just looked calm and showed no particular expression.
After a while, Su Yue looked at Grandma Yang and asked, "Has the homeowner changed to Uncle Huo now?"
Grandma Yang: No, his identity at that time was not suitable for changing, and he still has my good friend's name.
Wang Jingyi frowned. "Is Huo Yunqi and the others still living in the house?"
Grandma Yang said confidently, "Once the homeowner is changed, we can kick them out."
As she spoke, she turned to Grandpa Yang and said, "Old man, go inside and get the key to the safe deposit box."
It's time to return it to its rightful owner.
Upon hearing this, Su Yue and Fu Shen exchanged a knowing glance, both understanding what Grandma Yang was planning.
Grandpa Yang took out the key and handed it directly to Fu Shen, saying, "This belongs to you, keep it safe."
