Chapter 341: Chapter 282 I Know

Rong Wenming felt distressed.

Even though the old lady had been blatantly biased, he still wished she could have lived a bit longer.

At this moment, he somewhat regretted his own indifference.

If only… but what ‘if only’ could there be in this world?

Rong Wenze saw his grief-stricken appearance and sneered inwardly… Who was he putting on this act for now? Hadn’t he said he would sever ties?

However, the words reached his lips but were swallowed back, as the peripheral vision of his eye caught sight of his mother lying there.

He, too, was in considerable distress.

After a long while, he finally spoke, “Since Mother has passed away, we should discuss the funeral arrangements.”

His conscience, still with its last flicker unextinguished, did not want to let his mother pass away too uneasily.

After all, no matter what the old lady had done… she had been truly good to him.

Rong Wenming looked at him only once, then turned his head toward Yu Suhui.

Yu Suhui felt a chill down her spine as he stared at her, “…Why, why are you staring at me?”

Rong Wenming’s expression was filled with disgust, “Yu, if you spout nonsense like before, saying the old lady died out of anger caused by our family, I will not let you off.”

Yu Suhui: “…I, I didn’t say anything wrong…” Her voice ultimately faded under his intimidating gaze.

At this moment, Rong Wenze did not want to truly anger his elder brother, so he yelled at Yu Suhui, “Shut up, keep quiet for a bit. My mother is gone, and if you run your mouth off here again, get the hell out of this house.”

Yu Suhui trembled with anger, but at this time, even if she was furious, it was impossible for her to just leave and return to her parent’s home.

If she were to leave now, she would be drowned by other people’s spit. After all, it was impossible for her not to be at the funeral.

So she swallowed her anger.

Her face was extremely gloomy, but at that moment, nobody paid her any mind.

“Notify the clan and pick another date,” Rong Wenming said.

Rong Wenze had no objections, “We’ll notify them at dawn, but should we handle the funeral in the village or somewhere else?”

“If we go to the village, then we need to move the body back now; otherwise, we won’t be able to enter the village tomorrow.”

Rong Wenming thought for a moment, “Let’s handle it here.”

After all, the road to the village cemetery did not require going through the village itself, and the villagers would not intervene in this matter.

Just as Rong Wenze was about to agree, Yu Suhui jumped in, her voice urgent and loud, “No way.”

Her objection drew everyone’s eyes to her.

“Why not?” Madam Rong sneered, “Back then, this house was sold to you just because of the old lady’s sake, otherwise, do you think you could’ve bought it that cheap?”

Yu Suhui glared at her, “The house is mine now, and I say no way.”

The property was registered under her family’s name—could they even take it back?

Moreover, having someone die in their house had already been bad luck enough; if they also held a funeral there, how could that be acceptable?

Rong Wenming couldn’t be bothered with her and directly turned to ask, “Rong Wenze, what do you say?”

Rong Wenze had just started to speak when Yu Suhui interrupted him, “Rong Wenze, let me tell you, it’s absolute no for holding the funeral here in this house; I will not agree to it. If you don’t go back to the village, then fine, your elder brother’s old house is empty, right? Hold it there. Our family took care of your mother’s food and shelter; now that she is dead, as the eldest son, it should be your brother’s responsibility.”

It wasn’t a bad idea, actually, to hold the funeral at the elder brother’s old house. He couldn’t help but look toward his elder brother.

Seeing how this husband and wife were behaving, Madam Rong let out a cold laugh, “Don’t look at him; I agree…”

Rong Wenming turned his head in surprise to look at his spouse.

Even Rong Wenze’s family was shocked.

They had not expected her to agree so readily.

Yu Suhui was all smiles, “Sister-in-law, then it’s settled like that. Tonight, we’ll move Mother to your house.”

“No need to move her there yet. Let’s have the police come over and investigate the cause of death first. Afterwards, if there are truly no problems, then if you don’t want to hold the funeral here, we can move it to my place. Oh, and all the old lady’s possessions, including her money, should be handed over.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Suhui nearly went mad, “Oh! Now I see why you agreed so readily! You were waiting for this moment! Dream on!”

Rong Wenze’s face also darkened, “Sister-in-law, you’re going too far! Why should Mother’s things be given to you?”

Madam Rong sneered, “Why should we move to my house to hold the funeral? When there were benefits to be had, your family was always clinging to the old lady. Now that she’s dead, you heartless people are even denying her the last of her dignity. In that case, you cannot have anything she left behind.”

The old lady had not much else, probably just a few hundred yuan still there… She didn’t really want the old lady’s money, but the conduct of this couple was just too revolting.

They didn’t want to give up anything yet expected to receive benefits… such good fortune doesn’t exist in this world.

“Speak up! What did the old lady leave behind?”

Yu Suhui, reacting quickly, said, “She left nothing, not a thing, nor a single dime.”

Madam Rong, of course, didn’t believe it; just the other night, the old lady had brought money to their house. And now to claim there was not a cent?

But what she didn’t know was that Yu Suhui had indeed not found the money.
