No one dared to stand up and oppose it, for fear of being beaten, and no one was willing to stand with the old lady and support this absurd decision.
It's time-consuming and laborious, not to mention they're scared too...
Afraid of ghosts and also afraid of offending ancestors, what if the Zhao family starts to have bad luck after one mishap?
Although things have started to go wrong now, and things are going downhill and not as good as before.
But it's better to be cautious and avoid making things worse.
This is when the importance of the head of the family becomes apparent.
Zhao Xiaomei directly shifted the blame to her eldest brother, letting him make the decision. The others followed suit, agreeing with this approach.
As the head of the family and the person in charge of the Zhao family, if you don't take the blame, who will?
Old Zhao looked somewhat dazed and hesitant, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
As the head of the Zhao family, he naturally knew some secrets that his other descendants did not.
Two years ago, before he passed away, the old man revealed the Zhao family's biggest secret to him.
That was the shady history of the Zhao family's rise to power, a story that could only be described as inhumane and horrifying.
It is said that with the help of some so-called masters, hundreds of people were harmed and paved the way for the Zhao family with extremely cruel methods, which led to the Zhao family's prosperity for a hundred years.
I don't know if it's true or not?
He wasn't questioning what his ancestors had done, but rather that the Zhao family's century-long prosperity had been achieved through such cruel and evil means.
He was a materialist who had been influenced by modern scientific society and did not believe in those legends of gods and ghosts at all.
It was simply a series of tragedies caused by the feudal dregs of that era.
There's a slight pang of conscience, but not much. It happened over 100 years ago; he didn't do it.
They quickly forgot about it.
The appearance of the vengeful ghost opened a door to a new world for him.
Upon learning that the vengeful ghost originated from the Zhao family's ancestral tomb, a bad premonition arose within them.
My thoughts are becoming clearer and clearer, but the more I think about it, the more alarmed I become…
Oh no!
"bump!"
A heavy slap to the forehead successfully brought Boss Zhao back to reality.
The old lady casually withdrew her hand:
"What's gotten into you? You look so guilty. Everyone's pushing you out here to make the decisions, you're the head of the family."
"Come here, give me a straight answer. Let me see if it's necessary to beat you to death, you unfilial son."
As she spoke, Yu Shuang raised the cane in her hand, making a preparatory movement.
“Eh eh eh…”
Upon seeing this, Zhao Laoda's expression changed, and he reflexively retreated to create a safe distance.
"Mom, Mom, please put your things down first, we can talk things over..."
Yu Shuang swung the stick down without hesitation:
"I'm telling you... you unfilial son, I might as well just beat you to death."
Everyone: "...!!"
When this old lady gets anxious, she even curses herself.
However, even though Zhao was the only one facing the stormy world, they felt a warmth in their hearts.
Zhao Laoda was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands. The experience that he had just managed to get over was repeated again.
"Aww!!...Mom! Mom!...Don't hit me, don't hit me, let's move it, we'll move this grave!!..."
Zhao Xiaomei and the others wore expressions of disdain.
Giving in after being beaten a couple of times is just spineless.
They even dare to sell out their ancestors.
Can the Zhao family really regain its glory in the hands of such a person?
Should they consider finding a different homeowner...?
Enraged by the sight of others, Boss Zhao was filled with shame and rage.
"What do you know? You know absolutely nothing!! Something terrible has definitely happened at the ancestral grave! It's more serious than you can imagine! Terrifying!! This grave must be moved!!"
The expressions on the faces of the others were even more interesting.
Ah yes, yes, yes... whatever you say is right.
We understand nothing, we know nothing.
Otherwise, what's the point of having you as the head of the household?
Old Zhao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging anger in his heart, before recounting the bloody history of his ancestors' rise to power, which his grandfather had told him before his death, as if telling a story, which made everyone's hair stand on end.
"ah!!…"
If that dark history is true, and combined with the matter of vengeful ghosts seeking revenge, then the situation at the Zhao family ancestral graves is far more serious than they imagined.
Clearly, the schemes set up by our ancestors have begun to backfire.
During that period, the Zhao family encountered many misfortunes and began to decline. Several members of the clan passed away one after another, either due to accidents or sudden illnesses.
Are none of these coincidences?
It's terrifying to think about...
Is it time for our ancestors to pay for the sins they committed?
Boss Zhao made the final decision:
"There's no time to lose. I'll gather the other clan members now to discuss the specifics!"
