The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Chapter 483 Ning Bao Wants to Buy a Mountain
After speaking, Mu Dasheng's smile faded as he looked at his son.
"Chunping, now that we have brought back the remains of your grandparents and ancestors, we should bury them as soon as possible."
Okay, Ningbao, could you please go to the back mountain tomorrow and see if there's a suitable place to make an ancestral grave?
We'll buy it directly and make it our Mu family's ancestral land. The location of this ancestral grave is extremely important.
The village elders all say that well-buried ancestral graves can protect future generations, and I feel most at ease with Ningbao overseeing the place.
Ningbao patted her chest and seriously tilted her chin up.
"Grandpa, don't worry. With Ningbao around, he'll definitely find us a feng shui treasure land where good fortune can rise from the ground."
"Besides, I'd already chosen this place; I picked it out on my very first day in Izumo Village."
Mu Dasheng looked at Ning Bao with doting eyes.
"Our Ningbao is amazing; she's been thinking about our ancestors for a long time."
Ningbao, are there really any suitable places around here to build ancestral graves?
Ning Bao nodded seriously.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I've already found a place."
It's right behind our house on the mountain behind us. We'll just buy the whole mountain behind us.
We'll designate one area as a cemetery, and fence off the rest to plant fruit trees. We can also raise chickens and ducks in the orchard.
Mu Chunping was very surprised.
"Does Ningbao mean our family wants to buy the mountain?"
"Yes, Father, I think the mountain behind our house is very nice, the feng shui is good."
The key is that it's close to our home. Just imagine how regrettable it would be if someone else bought that mountain one day.
You see, if it really gets bought by someone else, it will be so inconvenient for us to go into the mountains in the future.
The key is that the feng shui of our mountain is good..."
Mu Dasheng lightly tapped the table.
"Okay, let's do as Ningbao says and buy the mountain."
Chunping, tomorrow you take the silver and Ningbao to the county town.
The Mu family wasn't the only one buying land to house their ancestral graves; people from the original Shanglin Village had all brought back their deceased relatives.
Ningbao's eyes darted around.
"Father, prepare the money and household registration tonight, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Tomorrow everyone will definitely need to find a place to build graves........
Mu Dasheng nodded.
"Yes, Ningbao makes a lot of sense."
Especially since Ningbao is good at feng shui, someone will definitely come to Ningbao for feng shui advice first thing tomorrow morning.
Ningbao said that the best feng shui is on the hill behind our village.
When things were going well, the villagers asked Ningbao to find them a place with the best feng shui, but Ningbao didn't know what to do.
How about this, Chunping, you go hitch up the cart and take Ningbao to stay in the county town tonight. We'll get the land deed sorted out tomorrow and then come back.
"Oh, Chunping, go to Dajiang's house and see if Jianfei wants to come along, and also your brother-in-law's house next door."
Mu Chunping went next door first. Shen Junshan shook his head after hearing Mu Chunping's words.
"We could buy some burial plots in the mountains, but we don't need them now anyway..."
Shen Junshan sighed. He had long wanted to move his parents' remains out of the house, but unfortunately, that wish would never be fulfilled.
Upon hearing that Mu Chunping was going to the county town that very night, Lin Dajiang immediately sensed that something was amiss.
