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

When the old man on the bed heard Wei Mingyan's words, great hope burst out in his eyes. His cloudy eyes looked brighter than those of young people.

"It can't be demolished, village chief, did you hear that? Qiu Wu is neither the owner of this mountain nor has he given me money, so it can't be demolished!!"

After saying this, Grandma Xuan coughed and fell down drowsily.

Her life was too hard. The relatives who died one after another were like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making Grandma Xuan smile a few times in the second half of her life.

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

She has not received much education and grew up in bitter water since she was a child. She doesn't even know that the so-called reincarnation of ghosts is feudal superstition. She just relies on a breath to hold on and refuse to let go.

Now that she knows that the grave cannot be demolished, she relaxes and falls asleep drowsily.

Xuan Lele nervously sniffed her breath, and only after she could sense the slightest bit of it did she breathe a sigh of relief. The tears that she had been trying to suppress could not stop falling.

She tilted her head to look at the village chief, her voice full of anger, "My father fell into the river because Qiu Wu dug a hole there and did not fence it off. Now my parents have been dead for so many years, and he still won't let them go!"

"Do they have to force us to death before they can rest assured!"

"If something really happens to grandma, I won't let them go even if I become a ghost!"

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 hand, and stood up and walked out.

"Lele, Lele..."

The village chief hurried to stop him, "Don't go over there, there are so many of them, and you are a little girl..."

"Can you bully people just because you have so many people!!"

"Hasn't they bullied enough since childhood!"

Xuan Lele is really a person with a good temper and a soft personality, but this time, she really touched her bottom line.

Her grandmother always said that the living should live well, so they can remember hatred, but never trap themselves.

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

"Le Le!"

A pleasant male voice sounded, her mind went blank, she was hugged by someone, and the man's gentle coaxing in her ears was, "You be good, take good care of grandma first, I will deal with this matter."

"Trust me, okay?"

Xuan Le Le regained consciousness, she sobbed and grabbed the man's hand, "Ming Yan, Ming Yan..."

She had a lot of things to say, but when the words came to her lips, she turned into calling her lover's name in grievance.

This was the first time that Xuan Le Le relied on someone so much. When she was young, even younger, she knew that she was dependent on her grandmother and had to take good care of her grandmother.

She was used to the role of taking care of people. This was the first time someone told her to let him come.

She was gently pressed to sit on the bed. Wei Mingyan touched her head and said softly, "You should have a good rest first. I will go out and ask the village chief about the situation. Be good. Now we live in a society ruled by law. If they really demolish the grave by force, we will sue them."

He said this more to the village chief. Sure enough, the village chief's expression changed. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

After leaving the low house, Wei Mingyan put down his gentleness and looked at the old man who was slightly bent over because of his old age. "Village chief, please tell me the situation so that I can decide whether to sue Qiu Wu."

"We are all fellow villagers. If you really put Qiu Wu in jail, the Xuan family will have a hard time in the village..."

The village chief obviously wanted to settle the matter peacefully. He rubbed his hands and squeezed out such a sentence.

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

"Digging graves, village chief, if it's not a life-and-death feud, no one would do such a thing."

Wei Mingyan's attitude towards the village chief was not as gentle as his lover, which was normal. After all, anyone who saw his girlfriend being bullied would not look very good.

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

It turned out that the reason why Xuan's father fell into the river was because Qiu Wu cut ice to fish. At that time, the weather was cold, and a layer of ice would condense in the place where he cut out after one night. It looked no different from the surrounding area, but the weight of people stepping on it was enough to sink into it.

They called it a river, but it was actually like a reservoir, but everyone was used to calling it by this name. There was a thick layer of ice on it, and children liked to play on the river.

There was an unwritten rule in the village that anything that had been cut out of ice had to be placed around it to indicate that it had been cut out of ice and it was dangerous not to get close.

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

As a result, it was just a coincidence that Father Xuan stepped on empty ice, and the surrounding ice was fragile, so he fell directly into it.

Among the people who watched the excitement at that time, there was Qiu Wu, who was also the best swimmer in the village except Father Xuan. He also watched from beginning to end, and didn't even hand over a fishing rod.

There were few people in the village. After the Xuan couple died, someone soon said that they had seen Qiu Wu fishing by breaking ice, but because he refused to admit it, and Grandma Xuan was too shocked at the time, the incident was gradually forgotten by the villagers.

The first time it was brought up was when Qiu Wu was cutting trees by the river and his leg 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 on him.

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 guilty and spent money to find a master to resolve it.

As a result, the master took the money, performed a ritual and said that everything was fine, 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 family 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 surveyed the mountain. There is a grave 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 for moving the grave."

"Once the matter is negotiated, we can buy the mountain and get paid."

Wei Mingyan's eyes fell on the faces of Qiu Wu and his wife, whose faces turned pale in an instant, and smiled gently, "I heard everything just now. You two don't believe in feudal superstition, which is good. I don't believe it either, so you should not mind moving the grave?"

"No!!!"

Qiu Wu completely lost his excitement just now, and shouted angrily, "That's my son's grave. If it is moved, what if he can't reincarnate!"

"Yes!! Absolutely not! Even if you give us 100,000, you can't move it!"

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

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

The villagers looked at this tender-skinned young master who was obviously from a big city and took a step back in fear.

"Village chief, I think it's better to forget it. Since your village doesn't agree with me buying the mountain, I'll buy the one from the next village."

Seeing that the 20,000 yuan that was about to be in hand was gone, the excitement of the villagers just now disappeared in an instant.

"Boss, don't, we all agree, don't worry about Qiu Wu, just move it directly."

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

"Village chief, please talk to the boss."

They talked at once, and Wei Mingyan's face showed some hesitation, "In fact, if the purchase of the mountain is successful, because it is a grave mountain, I will give 5,000 yuan to each household. Of course, only that grave will be moved."

Five thousand yuan! That adds up to 25,000 yuan!

The smiles on the faces of the villagers didn't last for a second before they heard the young boss say, "But I won't buy it if you don't move the grave."

"No! Get out of here, get out of our village, we won't move it no matter what!"

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

In an instant, she felt cold all over, and when she turned around, she saw that it was the villagers who were staring at her, and everyone's eyes were full of resentment and disgust.

"Didn't you say you don't believe in superstition? If you don't believe in superstition, what's wrong with moving the grave? Don't worry, your child might have been reincarnated long ago."

"Didn't you also want to move the Xuan family's grave before? Anyway, it's just a change of place. At worst, we can help you move it."

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

"I say, Old Qiu, what you are doing is not authentic."

Wei Mingyan looked down at the couple who were besieged by the villagers and insisted on gritting their teeth and refusing to move the grave. He sneered and said loudly, "I'm staying at the village chief's house tonight. If your village hasn't discussed a charter tomorrow, I will buy the one in the next village."

Immediately, someone responded to him, "Boss, don't worry, we will definitely move the grave."

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