Chapter 15 We all know
After lunch, Old Ding pulled a coffin to the gate of the courtyard.
Several people came to Chen's house, lifted Chen Jianye's mother and the bed sheet, and put them into the coffin.
Chen Jianye took out the money he had prepared and distributed it to the four people who helped.
There is no need to say much to express gratitude. Now that the money has arrived, everyone can feel our sincerity.
"Jianye, get in the car and accompany your mother for the last part of the journey."
Old Ding said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Ding."
Chen Jianye got on the cart.
He knew that Old Ding was worried about his poor health and that walking was difficult for him, so he found an excuse for him to sit on the cart and rest.
Chen Jianye did not refuse. He placed his hand on the coffin with a calm expression.
More than half an hour later, a car full of five people arrived at the cemetery.
The four men carried the coffin down and picked up shovels to work.
A square trench large enough to hold a coffin was dug out next to Chen Tuntian's tomb.
Then the four men used a rope to lower the coffin containing Chen's mother into the square trough and filled it with soil.
Chen Jianye writes on the tombstone.
It took more than three hours of work to finish this big job.
"Brother Ding, I want to talk to my parents. You guys take a rest."
Chen Jianye said.
"Good."
Old Ding pulled the cart and took his men some distance away.
Chen Jianye's eyes fell on the tombstone, and he knelt down in front of the tombstone with his knees bent like a golden mountain or a jade pillar.
"Dad, Mom..."
He kept talking about letting his parents rest in peace in the underground and that he would not be bullied in the future.
As the only child of the Chen family, I will definitely continue the Chen family bloodline.
In three to five years at most, or one or two years at least, I will definitely bring my son and daughter to visit my parents.
A few minutes later, Chen Jianye got up, sat on the cart, and returned to the courtyard with everyone else.
The funeral was simple, with labor costs of eight yuan and material costs a little over twenty yuan.
The total amount is about thirty dollars.
Chen Jianye counted the money in his hand.
The pension plus the compensation paid by Sha Zhu, plus the Chen family’s savings.
He currently has more than 1,007 yuan in his hand.
One thousand dollars can do a lot of things.
If Chen Jianye is willing, he can marry a country wife for a hundred yuan, a virgin who is hardworking and willing to endure hardships, the type he chooses.
If his health was really bad, he might really do that in order to continue the Chen family bloodline.
Chen Jianye is aware of his physical condition and does not need to rush into anything.
The next step is to go to the steel mill to take up a position, gain a firm foothold in this world, and then slowly plan for development by relying on the system and one's own abilities.
After returning to the courtyard, Chen Jianye keenly noticed that the way people in the compound looked at him had changed.
There is a kind of indescribable...compassion.
Chen Jianye was too lazy to pay attention and went straight to Mr. Bai's house.
"Kid, are you done?"
Uncle Bai asked enthusiastically.
"It's done, Mr. Bai. Thanks to your help today, my mother can rest in peace."
"I know you don't value money, but I can only give you money to show my respect."
Chen Jianye took out two dollars.
"Kid, keep the money. I've already taken two dollars from you. I can't take any more money from you."
Mr. Bai said firmly.
"Yes, Jianye, you should save the money you have and get married as soon as possible."
"My grandfather and I can barely make two dollars a day. You've given us enough."
Bai Xiaomin took over.
"Let's put it this way. You helped me with all the work, so the two dollars is what you deserve."
"Your grandfather helped me with the overall planning and made a lot of efforts. He deserves the two dollars."
Chen Jianye also had a firm attitude.
"Kid, keep this money. I know all about your problems. How can I ask for your money again?"
"Listen to Xiaomin and don't be stubborn."
Uncle Bai said earnestly.
"Mr. Bai, do you know what's wrong with me?"
Chen Jianye was puzzled.
Mr. Bai realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Grandpa, let me tell you."
"Jianye, after we went out to work, old lady Jia spread the word in the courtyard that you won't live long. She said you have a brain disease and will definitely be paralyzed or become mentally ill in the future."
"She said it in a very clear manner, saying that's what the hospital report said, and that your illness is in your brain and can't be cured, so you were in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital."
Bai Xiaomin blurted it out all at once.
Chen Jianye's face turned black.
Damn it, as soon as he went out to do some work, Jia Zhang came to discredit him.
It's really not a thing.
"Kid, don't mess with Xiao Zhang. It's unnecessary."
"Let her say what she wants. Let's live a good life, which is more important than anything else."
Mr. Bai hurriedly persuaded.
Obviously he knew in his heart that what Jia Zhang said was most likely true.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain Chen Jianye’s abnormal behavior.
"Mr. Bai, I understand."
"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with Jia Zhang anymore."
Chen Jianye grinned and said, "But you have to accept these two dollars, Mr. Bai."
When Chen Jianye left the Bai family, he had nothing in his hands.
Mr. Bai accepted the two dollars and promised Chen Jianye that the two dollars would be considered as Chen Jianye's deposit in the Bai family.
If something really happens to the latter, the Bai family will provide Chen Jianye with certain assistance.
Chen Jianye has no objection.
He is not a person who regards money as dirt.
Once the money is given away, the person who receives the money knows that his kindness is being remembered, and he will naturally feel happier.
After returning home, Chen Jianye prepared to cook.
After counting the family’s food reserves, Chen Jianye got half a pound of bacon and stir-fried it with some vegetables.
The staple food was some white rice.
In the past, the Chen family would steam a mixture of white rice and brown rice together.
Just cut the bacon into small pieces and add some oil and meat to the vegetables.
Now that Chen Jianye is the only one in the Chen family, he naturally won’t lack food.
After taking the Shenglonghuohu Pill, Chen Jianye found that he got hungry very quickly and his appetite was equivalent to that of two people.
It is really not good if you don’t eat well, because you can’t make up for the body’s consumption.
If he eats like this, the food in the Chen family's house will only be enough for him to eat for three days.
Chen Jianye, however, looked indifferent.
He plans to go to the black market tonight to buy some meat and store it in the Lingquan space.
Moreover, there is land in the Lingquan Space, and he wants to buy some vegetables and plant them there to try out the planting effect.
Many vegetables, such as chives and garlic, can grow by leaving only the rhizome in the soil.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., just bury them directly in the soil.
If he could cultivate seven or eight kinds of vegetables, Chen Jianye would not have to worry about vegetables in the future.
After dinner, Chen Jianye went to the front yard to wash the dishes.
"Don't look at him showing off now, just wait and see how long he can show off."
"The uncle asked our family to be nice to him. Do you think I'm really afraid of him? Tsk."
Jia Zhang was chatting with the three aunts.
He was saying bad things about someone implicitly and at the same time trying to restore the dignity of the Jia family.
When the third aunt saw Chen Jianye coming, she coughed and reminded the Jia Zhang family that the real owner had arrived and told them to stop talking.
"Really, if I hadn't held Dongxu back, he would have beaten him up long ago."
"It's a good thing Dongxu didn't do anything. He is a pile of shit now. If you step on him, the soles of your shoes will get dirty."
"It's easy for Dongxu to beat him up, but if he gets entangled with me, how can my Jia family be safe? Don't you think so?"
Jia Zhang's saliva was flying everywhere.
"Oh, Jianye is washing the dishes himself."
The third aunt was annoyed that Jia Zhang was so stupid that she greeted Chen Jianye enthusiastically.
