Feng Juan's words left Aunt Feng's sister-in-law on the other end of the phone speechless for a moment, but she was obviously unwilling to give up.
After all, Aunt Feng was dead, and this was their last chance to make money from her. Otherwise, how could they have any other chance to contact the family members of the big leaders in Beijing?
"After all, my sister has worked in your house for over twenty years. She lives and eats there, and rarely has she had any money to spend. Even if you pay her fifteen yuan a month, after deducting some basic expenses, she can always save a few yuan a year. Over twenty years, she can save at least a thousand or two thousand yuan. How can you spend that much on treating an illness?"
Feng Juan's sister-in-law said, "Of course, I don't mean any other than saying this. I just feel that my sister's body was lost in your family. She was a very kind person and worked for your family for so many years. She must have worked hard for you. Now that she's gone, we are her family. No matter what, you should compensate us a little."
Feng Juan sneered at this: "You've spoken your mind, haven't you? Money is your real purpose."
Having her purpose seen through, Feng Juan's sister-in-law stopped pretending and said directly and confidently: "People died in your house, isn't it your responsibility to compensate us?"
"You guys are really good at calculating," Feng Juan said, "but you're wrong. I won't give you a penny."
"Aunt Feng died of an illness. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all human nature. No matter where the cause lies, no one can blame our family. You want to use Aunt Feng's death as an excuse to blackmail our family for money. That's impossible."
"Finally, I'll take care of Aunt Feng's future. You don't need to come to the capital to see her off. As for the money, I've made it very clear: there's none. If you don't believe me and are unwilling to accept this, you can come to the capital to make a scene. I'll keep you company until the end."
After saying that, Feng Juan hung up the phone directly, but the anger in her heart took a long time to resolve.
She had long known that Aunt Feng's family were no good, but she had never imagined they could be so greedy.
Feng Juan sat on the sofa, recalling that Aunt Feng's brother fell ill in the first half of the year and she went back to her hometown to see her brother for the last time.
She went back with her savings and brought gifts to her nephews, nieces, and great-nephews. She lived in her hometown for two months and gave away at least a few dollars, but no one cared about her.
Now that she was dead, these people didn't even say a word of sadness. They were already thinking about dividing up her "inheritance" without even waiting for her to be buried. It was really chilling.
Feng Juan felt sad and felt it was not worth it for her.
She sat on the sofa and cried for a while, then took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.
After all, the most important thing now is to take care of Aunt Feng's funeral and let her rest in peace.
Those relatives from her hometown were not important at all. They had little contact with her during her lifetime, so there was no need for them to come and pay their respects after her death.
Anyway, she had made up her mind that these greedy people would not take a penny from her pocket.
A few days later, Aunt Feng's funeral was held at a funeral home in the western suburbs. She had no other relatives in Beijing, and no one from her hometown came, so only Yun Qiao and her family were present at the funeral, as well as several nanny friends of Aunt Feng who came to say goodbye.
Aunt Feng was finally buried in Wan'an Cemetery at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. The plot was bought with the money in her passbook, and the remaining part was made up by Feng Juan out of her own pocket.
She didn't have many belongings, and there was nothing valuable left. The only thing she had was a silver bracelet, which Feng Juan put into her urn and buried with her.
After the funeral, Feng Juan thought the incident was over. She would heal her wounds quietly and wait for time to heal the pain of her loved one's death.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Feng Juan received another call from her sister-in-law's hometown.
It is said that Aunt Feng’s sister-in-law was unwilling to give up and went to the capital to find you with her eldest son.
Feng Juan was shocked when she heard this and replied in disbelief: "I've told you many times that Aunt Feng didn't leave any money, and I won't be a sucker and compensate them. Even if they come to Beijing, they won't get a penny. Why don't they understand?"
Feng Juan's sister-in-law sighed and said, "Her second grandson went on a blind date a while ago, and the girl demanded that his family buy him a sewing machine before agreeing to the marriage. I guess his family was really short of money, so he desperately tried all sorts of tricks and set his sights on you."
Feng Juan couldn't help but curse inwardly when she heard this: "Don't get married if you don't have money. Setting your sights on a dead person and making money from him is not morally sound enough. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Sister-in-law Feng Juan said, "I'm afraid of being poor, so I'm not afraid of anything else."
Feng Juan: “…”
"Let them come! Do you think I'm afraid of them?" Feng Juan snorted coldly, "I want to see what else they can get besides the money for the round-trip train tickets!"
A few days later, Aunt Feng's sister-in-law and eldest son really came to the capital.
They found the cadre compound according to the address Aunt Feng left them before her death, but were stopped by guards at the door.
After verifying their identities, the guard came to Feng Juan's house to inform her that there were visitors.
Feng Juan felt disgusted when she heard their names. She did not go to see them at all, but just said that she did not know them and asked the guards to persuade them to leave.
But Aunt Feng's sister-in-law was not willing to leave easily. It was not easy for her to come to the capital, and the travel expenses alone had cost a lot. It would be a huge loss for them to return empty-handed.
She was fierce and shameless. When the guards scolded her, she just lay down on the ground and started crying at the gate of the compound, shouting that the Qin family was bullying and had seized the nanny's inheritance and would not return it to her family.
The cadre compound was always a serious place. People passing by would quicken their pace and leave. Few would stay intentionally, let alone make a scene.
So her behavior immediately attracted a lot of onlookers, who were pointing and talking to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.
The guard was in a difficult position and was afraid of being reprimanded by his superiors, so he had to come in again to report.
Feng Juan was so angry that her face turned red, and she didn't want to embarrass the guards, so she decided to go out and meet the two guys.
Feng Juan followed the guard to the gate of the cadre compound.
Feng Juan's sister-in-law had been persuaded to get up at this time. After all, lying on the ground would really affect the image of the cadre compound, and the guards on duty were not there to eat for free.
But she didn't stop either. She stood on the side of the road crying and complained to everyone who passed by.
When Feng Juan came out, she was heard telling others, confusing right and wrong: "My sister worked as a nanny for the Qin family for thirty years, and eventually died of illness in her house. She didn't even let us see my sister for the last time, and only informed us after she died. Who knows what her intentions are?"
Feng Juan stopped and stood at the gate of the compound, looking at Aunt Feng and her sister-in-law with cold eyes. "Then you should tell me what I am thinking. Let me hear it too."
When Feng Juan's sister-in-law saw Feng Juan coming out, she showed an embarrassed expression on her face and explained, "Xiao Juan, it's because you didn't see us."
"After all, your cousin and I came all the way here from our hometown. It took us three days just to get here by car. But when we got here, you said you didn't know us and wouldn't let us in. That's why we're so angry."
"Why don't I see you? Don't you know what's going on?" Yun Qiao glanced at her and said coldly, "Auntie, for Aunt Feng's sake, I'll still call you Auntie. But etiquette is etiquette, and it has nothing to do with anything else. I think I've made it clear enough before, and even now that you've come to the capital, I'll still say the same thing."
"You mean you don't want to give the money?" Aunt Feng's nephew couldn't help but question her.
Feng Juan glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "I've told you before, Aunt Feng died of a serious illness. Her treatment cost a lot of money, and she left no inheritance. She left no money, so there's nothing to give you. Don't even think about asking me for compensation. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of human nature. Our family has done nothing wrong, and we won't pay you any money."
"I don't believe it." Aunt Feng's sister-in-law put her hands on her hips and said, "You said the money was spent on treatment? What evidence do you have? Feng Juan, we didn't come to the capital for nothing. You must give us an explanation, otherwise we will not leave."
"It's up to you." Feng Juan didn't care.
After all, there are guards in the cadre compound. As long as she doesn't let them in, the guards at the door will not let them in.
