97. Pretentious Rich Second Generation (9) (1/2)

97. Pretentious Rich Second Generation (9) (1/2)

When the old man on the bed heard Wei Mingyan's words, his eyes burst with great hope. Those cloudy eyes actually looked brighter than the young man's.

"It cannot be demolished, village chief, did you hear that? Qiu Wu is not the owner of this mountain, and he has not given me money, so it cannot be demolished!!"

After saying this, Grandma Xuan coughed and fell down in a daze.

Her life was too painful, and the relatives who had passed away one after another were like a huge stone weighing on her heart. Grandma Xuan never showed her face for the rest of her life.

Going up the mountain every day to take care of the fields and visit their deceased relatives is the only way for the elderly to relax.

She had little education and had grown up in bitter waters. She didn't even know that the so-called reincarnation of ghosts was a feudal superstition. She just relied on a breath of air to hold her tight and refused to let go.

Now that I knew that the tomb could not be demolished, I relaxed and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Xuan Lele sniffed her breath nervously, and after noticing the faintness, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the tears he had been trying to suppress couldn't stop falling.

She turned her head and looked at the village chief, her cry filled with anger, "My father fell into the river because Qiu Wu dug a hole there and didn't surround it. Now that my parents have been dead for so many years, he still hasn't Let them go!"

"Do we have to force us to death so that they can rest assured!"

"If something happens to grandma, I won't let them go even if I do anything!"

When she shouted the last sentence tremblingly, her whole body seemed to be ignited by anger. She gently put down the old man's hand that was still in her grasp, stood up and walked out.

"Lele, Lele..."

The village chief hurriedly stopped him, "Don't go there, there are many of them, you are from a little girl's family..."

"Is it okay to bully others when there are many people?!"

"Haven't they bullied you enough since you were little?"

Xuan Lele is really a good-tempered and soft-tempered person, but this time, she really touched her bottom line.

Her grandmother always said that those who are alive should live well, so you can remember hatred, but never trap yourself.

But even now, those people still refuse to let them go.

"Lele!"

A nice male voice sounded, and her mind went blank. She was hugged in a daze, and in her ears was the man's gentle coaxing voice, "Be good, take good care of grandma first, and I will deal with this matter."

"Trust me, okay?"

Only then did Xuan Lele regain consciousness. She sobbed and held onto the man's hand, "Ming Yan, Ming Yan..."

She had a lot to say, but when the words came to her lips, she called out her lover's name in aggrieved manner.

It was the first time that Xuan Lele was so dependent on someone. When she was little, she knew that she was dependent on her grandma and she should take good care of her.

She was used to the role of taking care of others. This was the first time that someone told her to come.

She was gently pushed to the edge of the bed and sat down. Wei Mingyan touched her head and said warmly, "You have a good rest first. I'll go out and ask the village chief about the situation. Be good, this is a society ruled by law. If they really forcefully demolish Grave, we will sue him.”

What he said was more for the village chief. As expected, the village chief's expression changed, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare.

After leaving this low-rise house, Wei Mingyan put aside his gentleness and looked at the old man next to him who was slightly bent because of his age. "Village Chief, could you please tell me the situation so that I can decide?" Don’t sue this Qiu Wu.”

"They are all from the village. If you really let Qiu Wu go to jail, it will be difficult for the Xuan family to behave in the village..."

The village chief obviously wanted to calm down the matter, so he rubbed his hands and said this.

"But I think the Xuan family doesn't have much status in the village now?"

"Dig a grave, village chief. If this wasn't a life-and-death feud, there really wouldn't be anyone who could do such a thing."

Wei Mingyan's attitude towards the village chief is not as gentle as towards his lover, which is normal. After all, anyone who sees his girlfriend being bullied will not look much better.

Seeing that he looked like he was going to get to the bottom of it, the village chief sighed and told everything.

It turns out that the reason Xuan's father fell into the river was because Qiu Wu was digging ice for fishing. The weather was cold at that time, and a layer of ice would condense on the place where he dug it out overnight. It looked the same as the surrounding area, but when people stepped on it, The weight of going up is still enough to sink in.

They say it's a river, but it's actually just like a reservoir. But everyone is used to calling it this name. There's a thick layer of ice on it, and children like to play on the river.

There is also an unwritten rule in the village. Anyone who has cut ice must have something placed around it to indicate that ice has been cut here and do not get close to it if it is dangerous.

There were some stones on the side, but Qiu Wu thought it was troublesome at the time, and the weather was too cold recently, so parents kept their children from coming out, so they didn't mark them.

It turned out to be such a coincidence. Xuan's father stepped on the air, and the surrounding ice was already fragile, so he fell directly into it.

Among the people watching the fun at that time was Qiu Wu. He was also the most accommodating person in the village besides Xuan's father. He watched from beginning to end without even passing the pole.

There were only a few people in the village. After the death of the Xuan family couple, some people soon said that they had seen Qiu Wu cutting ice and fishing there, but because he refused to admit it after being beaten to death, and Grandma Xuan was too stimulated at the time, this incident He was gradually forgotten by the people in the village.

The first time it was brought up was when Qiu Wu was cutting trees by the river and was hit by a tree. Although he was taken back later, he always walked with a limp.

The villagers spread the rumor that it was Xuan's father who was killed by him and was unwilling to give up, so he came to seek revenge.

Even though it had been five years, no one cared why revenge had to wait five years. Qiu Wu felt guilty at the time and did not dare to say anything.

Later, his eldest son fell into the river and died. There was another wave of rumors in the village. Qiu Wu, who had lost his child, ran to Xuan's grandmother's house to make trouble. At that time, Xuan Lele was studying in the town. Xuan's grandmother calmly called the police and scared people back.

The reason for the commotion to demolish the grave this time was because his youngest son skipped classes and went swimming with his classmates. He almost drowned in it and was rescued. Qiu Wu felt uneasy and spent money to find a master to resolve it.

As a result, the master took the money, performed a ritual and said that it was okay, but Qiu Wu did not believe it.

That night, he had a nightmare. He dreamed that the couple of the Xuan family came to seek revenge on him. He was so scared that he went to see the master again.

The master counted with his fingers, pointed at the grave of the Xuan family and said, if you are still not at ease, move the grave.

His original intention was to say that Qiu Wu was insecure, and he would have wild thoughts when he looked at the graves of the Xuan family every day. As a result, Qiu Wu imagined that the grave was facing his home, and that the two people were watching him day and night, waiting to harm him!

When he went back to the village and told others that they didn't believe him, he said hard that everyone watched them die at the beginning. If they wanted revenge, they couldn't just find me.

Although some people thought that they were just watching the excitement, they couldn't stand the guilt. Soon, this group of people decided to demolish the grave. They didn't forget to notify Grandma Xuan. Of course, after the bones were dug out, how to bury them, where to bury them, and who to bury them, no one said anything.

"There is no such thing as a grave facing Qiu Wu's family. That mountain is where the dead have been buried in the village. Everyone's grave is on it, even Qiu Wu's eldest son's. If it is true as he said, then the ancestors of the whole village are looking at him."

The village chief sighed again, his expression full of fatigue. He is old, and he always wants everyone to be harmonious, but this time, he really went too far.

It has always been said in their village that after a person dies and is buried, the grave cannot be moved, otherwise the soul will be directly annihilated and can never be reincarnated.

The old people especially believe this. This time, the village chief strongly opposed the Xuan family's move of the grave, but those people didn't listen to him at all. When the old lady of the Xuan family heard it, she fainted at the time, and he carried the person back.

Wei Mingyan listened, tapping the door frame on one side with his hand, his eyes thoughtful.

"Village chief, I want to trouble you with something..."

***

"They have been harming my family for so long. If my house collapses now, other people in the village will definitely not be able to escape. It can kill my son. This is a fierce ghost!"

The shirtless, dark-skinned middle-aged man spitted excitedly in the middle of the yard, "What are you afraid of? It is said that the law does not punish the masses. Let's go together. Will the police arrest all of us in the village? Last time the truck collapsed, we all went up to grab the chickens on it, and in the end, nothing happened!"

Qiu Wu's wife also said it.

"Yes, now it's my son who's in trouble, and in the future it could be your child, the third child's. Didn't your child just drown three years ago? Aren't you afraid that the newborn at home will also get into trouble?"

The person named was also a middle-aged woman. She tightened her hand holding the baby in her arms and hesitated, "But my child is out of town..."

"So it's a fierce ghost! It's powerful. I remember you also watched the fun at the beginning. The couple of the Xuan family might hate you."

"If everyone doesn't move them out today, we won't be able to save our own lives tomorrow!"

"What time is it now? What about moving the grave and not being able to reincarnate? That's all feudal superstition! Didn't the country say that we can't believe in these feudal superstitions!"

The expressions of a group of people gradually agreed, because the old lady of the Xuan family was fainted by anger and her timid heart became firm again.

Yes, anyway, they are also for their own children.

Besides, if there is anything, isn't Qiu Wu watching?

Just as he was about to go directly to dig the grave without the consent of the village chief and the Xuan family, the village chief coughed from behind.

Qiu Wu's expression turned cold, "Village chief, please stop talking. If we are killed, will you help us collect our bodies?"

"Shut up!"

The village chief shouted sternly, coughed again, and introduced to the villagers standing opposite, "This is Mr. Wei. This time, he is here to buy the mountain."

Wei Mingyan, who had just stood not far away and heard Qiu Wu's words clearly, looked cold. He walked forward with a cold expression and put on a high and cold attitude.

"Although this mountain belongs to the country, according to regulations, I still have to give appropriate compensation to the villagers. According to calculations, because there are few people in the village, each household should be able to get 20,000 yuan."

"20,000!!!"

"So much!!!"

The villagers who had just looked puzzled suddenly changed their expressions. They were notoriously poor and remote, and the crops did not grow well. They might not be able to earn 20,000 yuan a year.

Everyone became excited, including Qiu Wu and his wife who were just encouraging everyone.

"Village chief, when can we get the money?"

"Boss, are you only buying one mountain? We have many mountains here."

Wei Mingyan looked at the greedy faces in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"I have already explored the mountain. There is a tomb blocking the road. It needs to be moved."

The village chief also coughed, "Qiu Wu, your child's grave is blocking the road. Aren't we going to negotiate with you now? Mr. Wei is willing to give you an extra 10,000 yuan to move the grave."

"When this matter is negotiated, you can buy Shanfa money."

Wei Mingyan's eyes fell on the faces of Qiu Wu and his wife who instantly turned pale, and he smiled softly, "I heard it just now. You two don't believe in feudal superstition. That's good. I don't believe it either, so you shouldn't Do you mind moving the grave?"

"no!!!"

Qiu Wu lost all his excitement and shouted angrily, "That's my son's grave. What if it's moved and he can't be reincarnated!"

"Yes!! Absolutely not! Even if you give us one hundred thousand, you can't move it!"

"If you dare to move my son's grave, I will crash to death here!"

The couple had pale faces and looked at Wei Mingyan warily, as if they wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.

The people in the village looked at this thin-skinned and tender meat and stepped back in fear when they saw that it was a young man from a big city.

"Village Chief, I think it's better to forget it. Since your village doesn't agree with me buying the mountain, it will be the same if I buy the one from the next village."

Seeing that the 20,000 yuan that was about to be received just flew away, the excitement of the villagers disappeared in an instant.

"Boss, don't, we all agree, just leave Qiu Wu alone and just move."

"Yes, boss, we all agree. The 20,000 yuan is in cash, right?"

"Village chief, please talk to the boss quickly."

They were talking in a flurry, and Wei Mingyan showed some hesitation on his face, "Actually, if the mountain purchase is successful, because it is a mountain of graves, I will also give each household five thousand yuan. Of course, if the graves are moved, only the graves will be moved." That one.”

Five thousand yuan! That adds up to twenty-five thousand!

The smiles on the faces of the villagers didn't stay for a second before they heard the young boss say, "But I won't buy it unless the grave is moved."

"Don't move! Get out of here, get out of our village, we won't move even if you say anything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Wu's wife's sharp voice rang out.

For a moment, she felt a chill all over her body. When she turned around, she saw that the people in the village were staring at her, and everyone's eyes were full of resentment and boredom.

"Didn't you say you are not superstitious? You are not superstitious anymore, so what if you move the grave? Don't worry, your child might have been reincarnated long ago."

"Didn't you make a fuss about moving the Xuan family's grave before? Anyway, it's just a different place. At worst, we can help you move it."

"Twenty-five thousand is not a small amount. Aren't you blocking all of us from getting rich?"

"Let me tell you, Lao Qiu, what you are doing is not authentic."

Wei Mingyan looked condescendingly at the couple who were besieged by the villagers and still insisted on gritting their teeth and refusing to move the grave with white faces. He sneered and said in a loud voice, "I will stay at the village chief's house tonight. If your village hasn't discussed it tomorrow, Once a charter is issued, I will buy from the next village.”

Someone immediately responded to him, "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely move the grave."

As for Qiu and Wu's desperate "We won't move", the villagers who had just united with them just pretended not to hear it.
