If Sadako came three days late, she would have to go to the cemetery to see the photo of Heihachiro Ikuma on the tombstone.
"knew."
Zhou Heng nodded his chin towards the man, and walked into the mourning hall with his arms around Sadako.
Ikuma Heihachiro's mourning hall is decorated with the standard mourning hall of Wano country, that is, an altar is placed at the front, and the altar is divided into three layers. There is a black and white photo of the deceased in the middle, and lotus lanterns, flower baskets, flowers, fruits, etc. are placed on both sides.
The coffin, which is so transparent that you can see Heihachiro Ikuma's body inside, is placed at the front.
Normally, the family members of the deceased will stand on both sides of the coffin, not only to keep the mourning hall quiet, but also to help those who come to mourn to solve various problems.
It's just that Ikuma Heibachiro's two marriages were not very happy, especially Sadako's precarious past, and he didn't have the money or connections to handle things like funerals, so Ikuma Heirahachiro's funeral was handed over to Ikuma Heirahachiro's students.
Zhou Heng saw two middle-aged men in their forties wearing black kimonos standing beside the coffin to manage the altar. When Sadako and Zhou Heng stepped forward, the two middle-aged men were still bowing to Zhou Heng and Sadako.
Sadako, holding Zhou Heng's arm, accompanied Zhou Heng to Ikuma Heihachiro's fully transparent coffin.
Sadako, who was originally hiding behind Zhou Heng, poked out half of her head slightly, and when her clear eyes saw her father in the coffin, they were covered with a thin layer of mist.
Zhou Heng could feel Sadako's hand gripping his arm tightening slowly.
Zhou Heng also glanced at Ikuma Heihachiro. The stinky man is nothing to look at. Zhou Heng turned his head to look at the people who came to offer condolences.
Somewhat subtle.
The people who came to mourn around looked at Ikuma Heihachiro in the coffin, and many of them actually had ridicule and sarcasm on their faces, and some even pointed at Ikuma Heirachiro's corpse, far away from the whispers of the people around him, Zhou Heng couldn't hear clearly, but the disgust on his face could be recognized without discerning.
"... scum..."
"...It's okay to die..."
"…you do not know…"
Zhou Heng couldn't help shaking his head.
Everyone is dead, so if you have something to say, you can slander it in private. As for going to someone's funeral to talk about these things?
There was a sudden commotion at the entrance to the funeral.
A middle-aged man who was originally standing in the mourning hall frowned slightly and walked to the entrance.
The discussion among those who came to attend the funeral became louder.
"Who is it?"
"Who else could it be, Suzuki Mikabai."
"Suzuki Mika, Ikuma Heihachiro's ex-wife?"
"That's right, that's the ex-wife. You didn't come yesterday. I don't know that Mika Suzuki has come here several times in the past few days."
"Come to pay homage to your ex-husband? This ex-wife still misses the past."
"No, they are here to rob property. Heihachiro Ikuma seems to have saved a lot of money, and the souvenirs are also an income. Mika Suzuki seems to have failed in investing and lost a lot, so she wants to make a fortune at her ex-husband's funeral."
"Why? They are already ex-husbands..."
A haughty and clear voice came from the funeral entrance.
"Nobita, Dark Island! How dare you stop me!?"
Then came the voice of a helpless middle-aged man.
"Ms. Suzuki... Everyone doesn't like what happened yesterday. The teacher has passed away, so why don't you let him go?"
"Let him go? Nobita Anjima! Don't you think that Shizuko Bichiyama who came from the countryside is more suitable to inherit Heihachiro's property than me?"
Sadako next to Zhou Heng turned pale instantly. When she heard that the person who came was Heihachiro Ikuma's ex-wife, Sadako was already top-heavy, with blood flowing from her whole body to her head, so that her head became hot and her body became cold.
Now, when Suzuki Mika mentioned her mother and used Bichi as a prefix, Sadako was so angry that she almost fainted.
The male voice became more and more helpless.
"Ms. Suzuki, I'm just the teacher's student, not a lawyer. I can't decide on this kind of thing, or you can go to another room to rest first, and come to you to discuss the teacher's matter after I finish my chores."
The pitch of the woman's voice began to soar.
"Nobita! You protect that countryman so much. Does Heihachiro and that **** **** have anything to do with you? You helped her obtain Heihachiro's property, and you also have a share?"
Behind Zhou Heng, Sadako Yamamura trembled.
"Gangxiong, I, I finished reading...we...we can go..."
Zhou Heng sighed.
After all, Sadako still feels sorry for Ikuma Heihachiro's original partner, and now she has to shrink behind Zhou Heng's back without showing a little of her body.
Chapter 34 Innocent
Zhou Heng secretly took Sadako and left the private house where the funeral was held through the back door.
When I returned to Zhou Heng's means of transportation, there were already many people around the entrance of the funeral, and some unclear noises were coming from the entrance.
Zhou Heng raised his head and looked towards the door curiously. Because there were many people crowded at the door, Zhou Heng couldn't see what the so-called ex-wife Suzuki Mika looked like for a while.
It's a pity that Zhou Heng couldn't see Suzuki Mika in the mourning hall just now because of the angle, and now he can't see it outside.
Zhou Heng went back to the driver's seat of the car and sat down. Sadako next to her lowered her head and silently walked back to the seat and sat down.
As soon as her **** was seated, Sadako was in a trance.
…
"Hahaha, wild species, wild species!"
"Your mother works as a call girl in the city?"
"Who allowed you to come to our house? It's disgusting!"
…
A lot of memories flooded out of Sadako's mind.
Sadako is Xiaosan's daughter, because when Yamamura Shitsuko gave birth to Sadako, Ikuma Heirahachiro had not yet divorced Suzuki Mika, so Sadako could only follow her mother Yamamura's surname and return to her hometown in a small rural life.
There are a lot of conservative peasant women who like to gossip in the small village. For this reason, the news that Sadako is a fatherless **** and Sadako's mother does dirty things in the city quickly spread throughout the village.
And it was very painful, when Sadako grew up and came to the big city, Sadako found that the villagers in the village in the past did not show a dramatic reversal of their slander, and it was all true.
My mother is Xiaosan, and my daughter, who is Xiaosan, is not wrong to say that she is a bastard.
You must know that now Sadako also follows his mother's surname Shancun, not his father's surname Yixiong.
Therefore, when the ex-wife Suzuki Mika, who was the victim, came over and reprimanded her mother and insulted herself, Sadako couldn't find a reason to refute.
I should be insulted by Mika Suzuki, and I should be blamed.
Own…
Sadako's vision was gradually turned slightly blurred by tears, and she saw Zhou Heng who was driving out of the parking lot.
Sadako held her skirt with both hands. After Zhou Heng bought this skirt for Sadako, Sadako has always been very precious, and she was not willing to wear it unless she went out, for fear that her sweat would stain the dress.
But now, Sadako's turbulent emotions made Sadako unable to control herself, and she wrinkled her beloved clothes.
Gango, you don't hate me, do you?
Gangxiong won't leave me because of what happened just now, will he?
Sadako really regretted coming to mourn her father.
She was really afraid that Zhou Heng would leave her because of this.
Zhou Heng glanced at Sadako, then spoke again.
"Sadako, who do you think Mika Suzuki is?"
Sadako shook, and before the panicked Sadako could reply, Zhou Heng continued.
"This woman is not a good person."
"Eh?"
Sadako trembled again.
Zhou Heng sneered.
"This woman is a habitual cheater."
Ikuma Heihachiro is a scumbag, and the biggest characteristic of a scumbag is that he does not take the initiative, does not admit, and is not responsible.
That is to say, under normal circumstances, Ikuma Heihachiro could hang on to Yamamura Shitsuko without getting married, but afterwards Ikuma Heirahachiro and Suzuki Mika divorced and turned around to marry Yamamura Shitsuko.
Why is this?
Zhou Heng handed his mobile phone to Sadako Yamamura.
"Look, Sadako."
Sadako took it, and on the screen of the phone was a text message record between Zhou Heng and an unfamiliar number. This strange number Sadako knew, and it was one of the numbers on the list when Zhou Heng signed the record sheet.
The owner of the number is an acquaintance of Ikuma Heihachiro, at least he has a relationship, otherwise he would not have come to Ikuma Heihachiro's funeral.
The content of the text message is very simple.
Zhou Heng: Sir, I was also a participant in Ikuma Heihachiro's funeral. Did Suzuki Mika have any conflicts with Ikuma Heihachiro in the past? Why bother at the funeral.
Strange number: It's just the distribution of the inheritance, nothing else.
Zhou Heng: Nothing? Impossible, I heard people say that Professor Ikuma divorced Suzuki Mika because of that incident?
Strange number: Huh? which thing?
Zhou Heng: For example, Mrs. Suzuki can't control her body.
Strange number: Suzuki Mika cheated on her student and stole Professor Ikuma's research funds, did you know?
Cheating?
Misappropriating his own father's research funds?
Sadako was startled, and looked up at Zhou Heng who was driving.
Zhou Hengxie smiled.
"Sadako, do you understand? The reason why your father divorced and married Aunt Shizuko was not because of anything else, but because of Mrs. Suzuki's own problems."
It is said that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups. It is quite normal that Heihachiro Ikuma is a scumbag and his wife is not a good person.
This also explains why Ikuma Heihachiro, as a scumbag, divorced his original wife, went directly to the mistress, and took Sadako to take care of him.
Obviously disappointed with his original partner, he transferred all his love to his new marriage. Of course, this love is very likely to be temporary, and Ikuma Heihachiro will cheat on him in the future.
and…
"Sadako, you should have heard it just now. Mrs. Suzuki said, why is Professor Yi Xiong willing to leave the property to your mother instead of her."
Zhou Heng began to shake his head.
"Ms. Suzuki doesn't know that your mother is dead, Sadako, and she doesn't care about you at all."
Sadako was shocked.
"Don't care about us?"
Sadako always thought that Mrs. Suzuki hated herself and her mother.
Zhou Heng explained.
"If Mrs. Suzuki really cared about you and auntie, she should find you first and find a way to torture you to death, instead of running to Professor Yixiong's students after decades, calling Bichi and Yezhong, just to share more property. Sadako, believe it or not, Mrs. Suzuki doesn't even know your name."
Sadako: ?°?°?
Zhou Heng scratched his head.
"Sadako, the specific thing should be like this. It should be that Professor Yi Xiong got married with your mother in the past. During this period, Mrs. Suzuki cheated on herself and then embezzled the research funds. Professor Yi Xiong divorced Mrs. Suzuki angrily. The property should have been divided before the divorce. Mrs. Suzuki left with the money."
"During this process, both parties were voluntary, so Mrs. Suzuki did not appear in front of you and Auntie Shizuko after that... Well, Mrs. Suzuki may not know that Auntie Shizuko and Professor Yixiong divorced later."
"Now that Professor Ikuma is dead, Mrs. Suzuki is also short of money, so she ran over and clamored to divide the property. Didn't she call Professor Ikuma's student Nobita Anjima and Aunt Shizuko and Sadako, are you related?"
"This is not scolding you, Sadako, but scolding Nobita Anjima, a student of Professor Ikuma. He is forcing this student to spend money to prove that he has nothing to do with you, Sadako, and Auntie Shizuko. Otherwise, Nobita Anjima's reputation will be bad in the future."
Zhou Heng turned his head and smiled at Sadako.
