Zhu Fanfan's attention was diverted, and she looked at her grandmother. Tears were indeed streaming from the corners of her grandmother's eyes: "Grandma can still feel, she can still be saved."
Zhu Jiabao said with tears in his eyes, "Fanfan and I will be fine. I will take good care of her."
Everyone watched as Liu Yumin smiled, then froze. Zhu Fanfan used her mental energy to check again, and there was no sign of life at all. Grandma had really left her.
Zhu Fanfan broke down in tears, and her cries affected those behind her, causing everyone's eyes to redden. After all, since the establishment of the General Hospital, Vice President Liu had been in charge of the technical aspects, and half of the hospital's staff had been taught by her, so they naturally respected her greatly. Losing their mentor was very painful for them.
Zhu Jiabao couldn't help but cry too. He really only had one granddaughter left. Seeing that his granddaughter was crying so hard that she was about to faint, he quickly put his arm around her to prevent her from falling to the ground.
The people behind them didn't dare to offer any advice, afraid that if they opened their mouths, tears would involuntarily stream down their faces, and they would choke on their words before they could even get them out.
After crying, Zhu Fanfan became unusually calm and asked, "Who did this? Why did they kill Grandma? I must kill them."
Once Zhu Jiabao regained his composure, he said, "I don't know yet. The person who did it has been caught. He'll confess sooner or later. Fanfan, you're the only family Grandpa has left."
Zhu Fanfan promised, "I won't do anything extreme. I'll be fine and wait for those people's trial results. Let's take care of Grandma's funeral first! Let her rest in peace."
Now that cremation is confirmed, according to the rules, the body will be kept at home for three days before burial. My grandmother was killed while she was in office and is a martyr. There is a high chance that she will be buried in the martyrs' cemetery. They still need to make preparations so that my grandmother can pass away peacefully.
Zhu Jiabao replied, "Okay! We'll see your grandma off together."
From a young age, he couldn't bear to let his wife suffer even the slightest hardship. He would do his best to satisfy her every request. Anyone who dared to hurt her, no matter who it was, would have to die.
The father and son returned to normal, which made others feel uneasy. They hadn't recovered yet, but the two from the Zhu family were acting as if nothing had happened, discussing the funeral in a calm tone as if they were talking about someone else's business.
The old leader sighed. It seems that the Zhu family's children are indeed worthy of the Zhu family's reputation. They calmed down so quickly after such a big incident. Their future is limitless.
After everyone left, Zhu Jiabao took Liu Yumin's body back home. There was a folk saying that the soul of a person remains in the world for seven days after death. Whether it was true or not, they were willing to believe it and wanted to keep the body for seven days. So they returned to the Zhu family's own home and started the burial from their own house.
However, things didn't go well after the body was brought back. The tenant felt that Zhu Jiabao had always lived in the military compound and assumed he wouldn't come back, so he treated it as his own home. They felt it was unlucky to have a body placed there as soon as he returned, so they strongly opposed bringing the body back and even tried to block him from entering the house.
“It’s not that we don’t want you to come in, it’s just that it’s unlucky for someone to die. There’s an old saying that if someone dies in the family, they will take away the good fortune. Commander Zhu, please consider that we are all elderly, weak, sick and disabled here, and don’t bring them back. I’ve heard that after someone dies, they will pick someone from among those who live nearby and take them away. We really don’t want our parents to be frightened.”
"Yes! We pay rent every month. What if we get sick because of this? Who will pay for our medical treatment?"
“You’ve always lived outside. If someone dies, the people in the original place might not like it. Can’t you think about us? We don’t like it either.”
Zhu Fanfan's side was furious. It was originally the Zhu family's house, so what was wrong with the owner going back to their own home?
Before the people here could reason with her, Zhu Fanfan went up and punched them all to the ground: "We've been given a taste of our own medicine, and you still dare to act recklessly? Who gave you the nerve? Look carefully, this is the Zhu family home. If you don't want to stay, get out of here. My family doesn't care about your one yuan a month rent. If you don't leave, I'll call the police and say you've trespassed. I'll give each of you half a year's rent as compensation. That's settled then. Don't force me to take action."
Immediately, someone reacted quickly, crying out, "My stomach hurts so much! Was I injured? I need to go to the hospital to get a certificate. Soldiers beat me!"
The opening line naturally drew responses: "My leg hurts so much, it must be broken."
Although they call him "Commander Zhu," who knows what rank he is? What if it's just a nice-sounding title, and they hear he's still in military training at his age? They can tell he's not a high-ranking official, so they're not afraid.
Zhu Fanfan was too lazy to explain: "I know my limits. If you want a broken bone, I'll grant your wish."
After saying that, he went up and kicked the other person's leg. There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the person immediately clutched his leg and screamed in pain. For a moment, only his voice could be heard, and the others dared not make a sound.
Zhu Fanfan looked behind her: "Uncle, please take him to the hospital and tell them that I, Zhu Fanfan, broke his leg."
The people behind him didn't accuse Zhu Fanfan of being heartless; they just said, "Let's borrow a cart. Don't worry, he won't be able to go home for a hundred days after such a serious injury."
Vice President Liu is such a good person, yet she was prevented from entering her home. Fanfan did what they wanted to do, naturally helping her clean up the mess.
Zhu Fanfan looked at the group of people in front of her and said directly, "You are just tenants of the Zhu family, and you really think you are something special. Do I need your permission to go back to my own home? If you don't have a mirror, take a piss and look at yourselves, and see what you are."
The group ignored Zhu Fanfan and glared angrily at Zhu Jiabao: "Commander Zhu, our father (grandfather) was one of your soldiers, and we've been through thick and thin together. Are you just going to watch this girl bully us elders like this?"
Zhu Jiabao was so angry he almost laughed: "Zhu Fanfan is the only child in my Zhu family. This courtyard will belong to her in the future. She is the master. Whoever she wants to live in can live here, and whoever she doesn't want to live here can't live here. Besides, I have a life-and-death relationship with your father and grandfather. I saved their lives. How can you treat your family's benefactor by kicking him out of your own home?"
The location here is convenient in every way, with the supply and marketing cooperative's meat shop nearby, so the prices aren't cheap. His yard is also large, and renting the whole place would cost fifteen yuan a month. Based on the size of their current living space, it would cost at least three yuan a month. He originally wanted to symbolically charge a few cents and let it go, but his wife said that even a small favor is appreciated, while an excessive one can breed resentment. Even if he wanted to help them, he couldn't go too far, so he only charged one yuan a month.
They never imagined that after living there for more than ten years, they would feel like it was their own home, and that the host family would have to give them face when they came. Don't forget, they had no relationship with him anymore. If it weren't for the sake of the older generation, would they still be able to live in his house?
