Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 655 Yan Jiefang pulls people out of the latrine

The group of seven entered the toilet and looked at the corpse in the latrine. Yan Jiefang felt his stomach churning. If he hadn't not eaten breakfast, he would have definitely vomited.

Yan Jiefang closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again, forcibly suppressing the fear and nausea in his heart. He carefully climbed down into the latrine.

Soon, his entire body was stained yellow with excrement.

Six people held onto the rope, and he descended into the cesspool very quickly. In no time, he reached the bottom of the cesspool. By this time, he was already numb. Whether it was disgusting or not no longer mattered to him, because he was now covered in excrement.

He quickly grabbed the body and, in less than a minute, tied a rope around its waist. Then, he shouted:

"Dad, Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle He, you're all tied up, pull it up quickly!"

"Pull hard!"

Yan Fugui shouted, and the six men pulled together without any mishaps, quickly pulling Yan Jiefang and the corpse up.

After the body was pulled up, Yan Fugui finally saw the body clearly. The clothes and shoes—it was his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng!

"Solved!"

Yan Fugui cried out in grief. He wanted to hug Yan Jiecheng's body, but when he saw that Yan Jiecheng was covered in excrement, he withdrew his outstretched hand.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and the others also confirmed the identity of the corpse. They all sighed and remained silent.

Yan Fugui, tears streaming down his face, looked at Yan Jiefang covered in excrement and ordered:

"Jiefang, you wait here. I've sent your mother and sister-in-law to fetch water. After you've cleaned yourself in the toilet, make sure to clean your brother's body as well before you come out."

"Dad, I understand."

Yan Jiefang didn't dare to talk back now. Anyway, he was covered in feces, and he wouldn't dare to leave the toilet until he washed himself clean.

Just then, the third woman's voice rang out from outside the toilet, sounding urgent and trembling:

"Old Yan, have you brought the body up yet? Who...who is this person?"

Yan Fugui didn't answer the old woman's question, but instead asked, "I told you to go fetch water with Yuhua, did you bring the water over?"

"Old Yan, the water has arrived. I've left it by the toilet door. Yu Hua and I will go get a few more buckets of water."

After saying that, the three women looked dejected and went to fetch water with Liu Yuhua.

She knew that Yan Fugui's lack of a direct answer meant that this person must be Jie Cheng.

Yan Fugui, his face filled with grief, came to the toilet and brought in two buckets of water. He first poured water over Yan Jiefang from head to toe to wash him, and then poured a bucket of water over Yan Jiecheng's body as well. Most of the excrement on the two bodies was washed away.

At this moment, Yan Jiecheng's pale face was revealed.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also came out of the restroom. After discussing it, the two old men decided to hold a hospital-wide meeting before going to work.

Soon, news of Yan Jiecheng drowning in the latrine spread throughout the entire compound.

While everyone was sighing in dismay, Jia Zhangshi burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Yan Jiecheng, that little widow, really did drown in the latrine. He's fulfilled the poisonous oath he swore back then!"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's loud laughter, the third aunt's eyes turned bloodshot, and she roared in grief and indignation:

"Jia Zhangshi, what did you say? My Jiecheng is already dead, and you still dare to mock him? Do you believe I'll fight you to the death?"

"Come on? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Yan Jiecheng made a vicious oath back then, and now it's come true. Why shouldn't I be allowed to say it?" Jia Zhangshi retorted without fear.

Just as the third aunt was about to rush up and fight Jia Zhangshi with her bucket, Qin Huairu quickly pulled Jia Zhangshi back and apologized to the third aunt.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law just doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut, please don't take it to heart."

As she spoke, she tugged at Jia Zhangshi's sleeve and said, "Mom, such a big thing happened to their family, and you still dare to laugh at them? If the Yan family comes to beat you up later, I won't care about you. Also, I'm warning you, if you keep causing trouble like this, you won't get to eat any of the meat I bring back in the future."

Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely at the third aunt with her triangular eyes, then turned her head away, still muttering to herself.

"I know, I know. It was that damned Yan Jiecheng who made the oath himself. What did I say wrong?"

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that Banggeng and Xiaodang had no one to take care of them, she really wouldn't want to live with Jia Zhangshi anymore. Her mother-in-law was too much of a troublemaker. Someone in their family had died, and she was still mocking them. Regardless of whether Yan Jiecheng's oath had come true, the dead should be respected. Did she really think the Yan family was easy to bully?

When Auntie San saw that Qin Huairu had apologized, Jia Zhangshi stopped mocking her son Jiecheng. She glared at Jia Zhangshi resentfully and went back to fetching water.

Now that her son is gone, she has no mood to argue with Jia Zhangshi.

Soon, with the constant fetching of water from the central courtyard by the three aunties and Liu Yuhua, the bodies of Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng were washed clean, and at least no disgusting things were visible on the surface.

Yan Fugui and Yan Jiefang worked together to carry Yan Jiecheng's body out of the toilet. A foul stench was blown by the wind and spread in all directions.

The people in the courtyard smelled the stench and covered their mouths and noses, moving away from the bodies of Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng.

Wang Feng already knew what was going on. He had already pulled Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia away from the crowd, afraid that Yan Fugui would just carry out Yan Jiecheng, who was covered in excrement, and offend Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia's eyes.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai approached Yan Fugui and whispered:

"Old Yan, you should quickly send someone to the police station to report this to the police and have them investigate. How could someone this big drown in a latrine for no reason? Maybe this was a premeditated murder."

Yan Fugui nodded, looked at Yan Jiekuang, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiekuang, you should go to the police station and report to the police."

"Okay, Dad, I'm going right now."

Yan Jiekuang agreed and ran out of the front yard, heading towards the Nanluoguxiang Police Station.

Upon seeing that Yan Jiefang had already reported the incident to the police, Yi Zhonghai patted Yan Fugui on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Old Yan, please accept my condolences. The most urgent thing now is to have the police investigate the cause of Jie Cheng's death, then arrange his funeral, and also have Yu Hua talk to the factory. Although Jie Cheng's death was not considered a work-related death, he was still a formal employee of the factory, and the factory will provide some subsidies and funeral expenses."

"Old Yan, it's still early, and everyone in the courtyard is up. Let's hold a general meeting for the whole courtyard so we can arrange the coffin bearers."

Yan Fugui nodded: "Okay, Lao Yi, you arrange it for me."

"become."
