Chapter 86 The Dutiful Son
This time he brought even more gifts, and he carried them all the way from the beginning to the end of the village, making such a grand display that everyone knew that he had made something of himself outside and wanted to come back to mend his relationship with his brother.
When Boss Lu opened the door and saw his brother, he immediately wanted to close the door, but then he saw a group of people watching behind him.
It’s been so many years since their incident happened, and younger people don’t know about it. It was only these past two days, from hearing the gossip in the village, that I learned that Boss Lu had a younger brother.
As to who was at fault between the two, everyone had their own opinions, but since they accepted gifts from others, even if the villagers didn't side with Lu Chengsheng, they would still grumble when they saw him being stopped outside.
Boss Lu was not afraid of being gossiped about. What he was afraid of was putting his brother together with so many villagers, and wondering what nonsense they would say.
So in the end, although he didn't give Lu Chengsheng a good look, he still let him in.
Yufen was also at home. She had soup stewing in the pot in the kitchen. When she heard Lu Chengsheng coming, she didn't even look at the soup and came out to watch the fun.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here right now."
"Brother, why are you so angry? It was our dad's fault back then. I'm also a victim."
He answered in a friendly tone and took out the gift he had prepared. It was a nutritional supplement in a very attractive package. It looked impressive, but it was not worth much money. It was just to fool the ignorant people.
For example, Yufen didn't know what to do with her hands when she saw the nutritional supplement packaging, for fear that her hands would dirty the fancy packaging.
She wanted to say something polite, "Oh, it must cost a lot of money to buy these nutritional supplements. It's a waste of money."
Boss Lu was too lazy to engage in those polite things with his brother. "Stop pretending. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out of here."
Because he made money from business, Lu Chengsheng maintained himself very well. Although he was in his forties, he looked only in his thirties. He smiled and said to his brother, "After so many years, you still understand me so well, brother. It shows that we are deeply related by blood."
Under the threat of Boss Lu's gaze, he abandoned the nonsense he had prepared and got straight to the point, "Did your town recently dig up an emperor's tomb?"
"Yes, it's at the school in town. If you're interested, go and see for yourself."
"Don't be anxious, my brother. You don't know that the news of the Yellow Emperor's tomb being unearthed in your town has spread like wildfire. Many people are interested in it."
"A big boss thought that the feng shui of digging up the Yellow Emperor's tomb was good, so he wanted to move his ancestral tomb to our place."
When it comes to burial, burial has always been more popular, except for religious issues or special circumstances, there are some special burial methods.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the authorities began to promote cremation, but Xiaoshi Village still retained its own custom of burial.
This is not like some places where there is a special burial area in the village and people can only bury there.
Before the land was divided, people would ask a feng shui master to find a place with good feng shui and bury the bodies there. After the land was divided, people would bury the bodies in the land that was allocated to them.
So when Lu Chengsheng brought up this matter, Boss Lu thought about it and wondered if anyone in the village would be willing to give up their land. No one wanted to be buried in an uninhabited place, so the possibility of them agreeing was not very high.
"Don't even think about it. Who would agree to this?"
"I agree to give up the location of our father's grave."
Yufen originally wanted to pour a glass of water for Lu Chengsheng, but when she heard this, she was so scared that she dropped the cup.
My God, there really are such wicked people. When the father dies, the son wants to dig up his father's grave.
Boss Lu's hands trembled for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. "You are so cruel."
"No, I will definitely pick a good place for our dad and won't let him down."
Lu Chengsheng felt that he was doing a good thing. The place where his father was buried was very small. Although he had moved his father to another place, he would definitely get a bigger piece of land and a bigger tombstone for his father.
The best place is not in the village. All the arable land near Xiaoshi Village has been occupied.
"Anyway, we've split up. You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me. After the split, we're two families. This matter has nothing to do with our family."
"If you're here for this, leave now that you've finished talking."
Yufen nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, we are two families. This has nothing to do with my family."
She didn't dare to accept the gift now. It was too hot to handle. If she accepted it, she would be infamous in the village forever.
How long has the story of Lu Daliu's son beating his father been circulating? He only did it because he wanted to resist, and people have been talking about it for so long.
Lu Chengsheng dug up his own father's grave for money. If he really did it, he wouldn't live in the village. He would just run away after doing it and wouldn't hear anyone scold him.
But her family is actually related to him. If they were to become related, they would probably not be able to stay in the village, and it would also affect the reputation of her mother's family.
"Alas, you are just too timid. What's the big deal? There are so many people who have moved graves. I just want to change the feng shui for my father."
He went on to brag for a long time about what a wonderful burial site he had prepared for his father.
But Boss Lu didn't respond. He just sat there and watched him, waiting to see when he would finish his talk and leave.
"Actually, there's another thing. This big boss wants to move his parents, grandparents, and our parents' graves can't fit here, so we have to find a spot."
He said it lightly, and he didn't plan to be buried in his hometown. This meant that he wanted his brother to give the burial site he had prepared to someone else.
He thought this would make his brother angry, just like before, just like Yufen's reaction when she heard the news. He was already prepared on how to convince his brother.
But Boss Lu just sneered and said, "You must have received a lot of benefits."
"I don't agree, but you still want to move here? You can't even enter our village."
"Go away."
Lu Chengsheng finally stopped smiling, and his flat face finally revealed his cold character. "Every business has a price. You don't agree because you think there's no benefit."
"For the sake of my relatives, how much do you want? Just tell me the number and I'll talk to the big boss."
"Talk about your mother."
Boss Lu didn't waste time talking to him and just beat him up.
The man was driven away, but the problem he left behind has not been solved.
What Boss Lu said just now was cruel. After the family split up, what happened to his father had nothing to do with him, but digging the grave was still too much. He had to take care of it even if the family split up.
But neither of them could come up with any idea. After panicking at home for a long time, they decided to go find the village chief.
Lu Zhengde never expected that he would receive such a big bombshell while sitting at home.
It’s okay with Boss Lu, but it’s hard to say about his father.
After all, the son moving his father's grave is not illegal from any perspective. At most, people will condemn it, but condemnation is useless to Lu Chengsheng.
After the grave is moved, it is not easy for anyone to control whether other people can bury there, after all, it is someone else's business.
But as long as he disagrees with Boss Lu's piece of land, no one will understand. This is why Lu Chengsheng has to come back to persuade him.
"Village Chief, then can I just sit back and watch my dad deal with this?"
Influenced by his wife, Lu Zhengde also became curious about some things. "Not really, others might have their own ideas."
"So, this is why you're knocking on my door late at night?"
Lu Xing looked at the two people at the door. She had really had enough!
I don't know where the villagers got the idea from, but they think it's shameful to ask someone to come to their house late at night to do something for them.
