"Go home and get some clean clothes for your Grandpa Guan." Li Mancang glanced into the cabinet. There were no clean clothes. The old man Guan was still lying on his quilt with his big cotton-padded jacket that was dirty when he fell.
"Okay, I'll go home and get some food after I get my clothes, and then come back."
Seeing that it was getting dark, the third brother agreed and drove away.
The alley where Old Man Guan lived was too narrow for cars to drive into, so the third brother parked the car at the entrance of the alley and trotted towards Old Man Guan's house.
The door was ajar and not locked, so the third brother pushed it open and walked in.
The room was steaming hot, with breath hitting the windows, and people were talking, as if a family was having a meal.
The third brother raised his eyebrows. The old man was in the hospital, and the old lady must be exhausted. He quietly approached the window.
People were eating from a hot pot in the house, and the aroma of mutton drifted out through the window.
"Mom, you've worked hard these days. Eat more meat to replenish your body. The old man is at home and he doesn't like our family. We don't dare to come here and let you suffer alone." The voice was spoken by a middle-aged woman with a flattering tone.
"It's all my fault for being incompetent. Thank you for your hard work, Mom," said the middle-aged man with shame.
"Grandma, you are the hero of our family. I will definitely be filial to you in the future." The young man's voice.
"Just know who I'm doing this for. I can't eat my meals looking at that old man's nagging face every day. I don't dare to face him when I sleep at night. I really have nightmares. But when I think of your family, I endure it. Damn old man, he got it easy this time. Sooner or later, I will serve him to death. Then the house and savings will be ours."
The old lady spoke viciously, and the third son was startled. This old lady looked kind and gentle, but he didn't expect her to have such a vicious mind.
"Mom, please be careful. That old man looks like a tough guy. It will be troublesome if he finds out." The middle-aged woman was afraid that the matter would be exposed and implicate them.
"Don't worry, I was very careful. He didn't die this time, so he got away with it. Next time I'll pour more oil and put a few sharp stones in a circle so no one can tell." The old lady didn't expect anyone to eavesdrop. Usually, no one came to her house, so the noise was not loud, but she didn't suppress it either.
"Do you know where the dead old man's passbook is? Does he have any other assets?" asked the young grandson.
The old lady snorted loudly, "I don't know where the passbook is, but it must be there. Either it's hidden or it was given to that bitch. But it's okay. As long as the old man dies, I will check every bank and I will definitely find it. But I suspect that the old man has other assets at Old Li's house."
"Why do you say that? Did the old man leave his things at the Li family?" asked the middle-aged man.
"The old man didn't say it, but I guess it's pretty close. Otherwise, why would the Li family, who have no relatives, support that dead girl, send her to college, feed her like their own child, and treat her like their own family member?
"That family is as cunning as a sieve, and their hair is hollow. Who would do such a thing if they don't have any ulterior motives?" the old lady analyzed.
The third brother who was eavesdropping... Nothing is a secret. Anyone who is willing to think about it can figure out something. The third brother looked at his hair and cursed silently.
"Mom, what you said makes sense. If the old man is gone, won't the things stored there be a bargain for the Li family? The old man had a bad background before, so he should have quite a fortune." The middle-aged woman said with greed in her tone.
"The old man is gone, and the Li family doesn't acknowledge it. They are so numerous and powerful that we can't do anything to them. I guess he left it to that dead girl. These things the old man has now are enough for us." The old lady thought for a long time and tried to get the old man to say something, but the old man kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a word.
"Grandma, how about I marry Guan Xiaoyu?" The young man's eyes lit up.
"I think it's okay. That girl has no family background. If we marry her, we can do whatever we want with her antique things. They are all ours," the middle-aged woman agreed happily.
