With Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang as their strategists, Zhang Yan and Gouzi have never had any relationship problems over the years. Although their relationship isn't as intense as Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's, it's still long-lasting.
This is a good thing for both families. The better the relationship, the more stable the emotions. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang took a few days off and were just about to go back to work when they suddenly received a message.
"What? You injured someone? How could you have injured someone? What kind of conflict did you have?!"
The person in charge of the construction project called Xu Zijiang, saying that something had happened. A man was making a scene, forbidding them from building houses there, saying that his father's grave was there and that if they built houses there, they would dig up his father's grave, so he had been refusing to agree.
However, since Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had already bought the land, this man essentially buried his grave on their land. There's no reason why he wouldn't build a house for them.
At first, the person in charge ignored him, but as the house was to be expanded to that area, the conflict between them intensified.
Today, a man came over with a hoe and got into a conflict with the workers who were preparing to build a house. Eventually, the workers got annoyed by his harassment and pushed him to the ground in a fit of anger. He lost his grip on the hoe, and it fell to the ground, causing him to fall on his head and bleed profusely.
That's how it is.
Instead of feeling relieved after hearing this, Xu Zijiang frowned.
Why didn't you tell us about this beforehand?!
"This... I didn't think it was a big deal at first, and besides, that kid was in the wrong. I didn't expect that no matter how much I pleaded with him to move the grave, he just wouldn't agree. He even caused this scene today, and blood was drawn. That's when I realized that things were really bad. I misjudged this matter. I'm sorry."
The person in charge sincerely apologized, mainly because he genuinely couldn't believe the man was so stupid as to let himself be hit by the hoe. Regardless of who was in the right, as long as he was injured, they would be in the wrong, which is why the person in charge hurriedly called Xu Zijiang to see how to resolve the situation.
After all, the house isn't even finished yet. If someone dies, that would be bad luck. Who would dare buy a house here? Wouldn't that cause trouble for the boss?
"Alright, I got it. Which hospital is she in now? Let's go check on her."
After Xu Zijiang got the information, he hung up the phone and got up to ask Yu Jiu.
"Honey, do you want to come with me to take a look?"
"Let's go together then, and see how we can persuade him."
Yu Jiu changed his clothes and went out with Xu Zijiang. Although the land was now in their hands, and they were in the right, it was still important to maintain harmony in business, and it was wrong to cause harm to others.
Furthermore, they couldn't possibly dig up the man's father's grave directly; that would be too immoral. The best course of action would be to negotiate amicably and have him move the wood happily.
When Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu arrived, the man's head injury had already been treated and wrapped in gauze. For the time being, it was not obvious that he was seriously injured, but he refused to leave the hospital.
The person in charge who was with him at the hospital was so angry that he yelled, "This is definitely a staged accident! How can there be such a shameless person?"
As soon as he saw Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang, he rushed over to greet them as if they were his saviors.
"You two bosses are here. What do you think is the best way to deal with this person?"
"Um."
"Lu Qing, right? Are you feeling better now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Xu Zi showed him concern in a subtle way.
Lu Qing simply snorted in response.
"You're their boss, right? You bought that land too. I don't care what you want to build on that land, it has nothing to do with me. But you can't touch my dad's grave. Respect for the dead is paramount, have you heard?"
How could anyone let his son dig up his father's grave? Absolutely impossible! You must preserve my father's grave; I still need to visit it every year to pay my respects!
“If you don’t agree to my terms, I won’t leave the hospital. I have a headache, and I want to stay in the hospital until you go bankrupt. As for the construction site, you can forget about starting any more work. I won’t let you have your way. If you dare to touch my father’s grave, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Lu Qingman spoke unreasonably.
He knew perfectly well that the land wasn't his, yet he spoke so confidently. Besides, he wanted Yu Jiu and Xu Zi to preserve his father's grave. Imagine a grave suddenly appearing in the middle of a perfectly good house, school, or hospital—who wouldn't be horrified? Who would want to come here?
Therefore, Yu Jiu and the others could not possibly preserve this tomb for him; they had to either move it or level it—these were the only two options.
"Since this land doesn't belong to you, why did you choose to have your father stand there in the first place?"
Yu Jiu was the first to raise a question.
Yes, that large area of land belonged to both the government and private individuals. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang went to great lengths to acquire all of it and finally bought it. They were so determined to get the land because they didn't want to encounter these messy situations, but they still ended up getting them.
“That piece of land has good feng shui. It was the place my dad personally chose for himself before he passed away. Originally, it was just overgrown with weeds. I buried my dad there. So what? Nobody cares about it.”
"If you hadn't bought all that land and were going to build houses there, my dad's grave wouldn't have been in the way at all! There has to be a first-come, first-served order, right? We buried him first, why should we have to make way for you!"
Lu Qing was being unreasonable and wouldn't budge. He felt he was in the right, and he was quite good at talking. But no matter what, that land was now Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's territory. If they were determined to dig up Lu Qing's father's grave, it would only take a word. At most, it would be immoral, but it wouldn't be illegal.
"You're a grown man, you should understand that the principle is on our side, not yours. You say it's first come, first served, fine, we respect that, which is why we've come out here to have a proper talk with you."
"We're definitely going to build the house. You've seen it yourself; we've already started construction on part of it. How can we possibly stop? Do you know how much money we've invested? If we stop, all the money we've put in will be wasted. Who's responsible then?"
"To be honest, it's hurtful, but you can't afford to pay for it."
Yu Jiu hit the nail on the head: how could he possibly pay back hundreds of millions of yuan?
Lu Qing's face turned pale and then red. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Jiu continued.
