Lu Jiaxin looked at the people not far away and immediately asked Zong Jinghua to put away the wooden warehouse. Nowadays, wooden warehouses are not as strictly controlled as in later generations, but it is not good to use wooden warehouses against people in public.

Captain Du and Secretary Ruan were also frightened by the sudden appearance of the person. When they saw who it was, Secretary Ruan's face turned green: "Ding Tangping, what are you doing here?"

He had just sworn to Comrade Lu that everything had been arranged and that the Ding family would never cause trouble, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.

Ding Tangping was not afraid of him at all and roared, "Mu Niang is my wife. Without my consent, none of you can move her grave. Otherwise, I will die here today."

According to the rules, it is indeed not okay for Miss Lu to do this, but who can blame her for being so rich that the county leader came to find her!

Lu Jiaxin sat back on the mat and drank the water slowly.

Secretary Ruan said, "Ding Tangping, it has been almost forty years since Comrade Gu Lanlan passed away, and you have never visited her grave in these forty years. Now Miss Lu wants to move Comrade Gu Lanlan's grave to Gangcheng to show her filial piety. You should help her!"

Less than three months after Gu Lanlan's death, Ding Tangping remarried. The woman he married later was very pregnant and gave birth to a big fat boy in the second year after they got married. Not only did he forget about Gu Lanlan, he also allowed his second wife to abuse Ding Xiaoxia.

Ding Tangping glanced at Lu Jiaxin, then said loudly: "No, Mu Niang is my first wife, and I want to be buried with her when I am a hundred years old."

If they let Lu Jiaxin move the grave this time, they will never get any benefit from it in the future, so this is their only chance.

Captain Du looked at Lu Jiaxin and saw that she was calm. Although he was angry that Secretary Ruan had messed up the matter, he had to stand up at this juncture: "Comrade Ding, Comrade Lu's relocation of the grave has been approved by the higher-ups, and no one can stop it. However, if you have any reasonable requests, we will try our best to meet them."

Ding Tangping was once very obsessed with Gu Lanlan, but she had been gone for almost 40 years, so how could he still have any feelings for her? This time, he went to great lengths to come here just to get some benefits.

Ding Tangping didn't say any more polite words. He said loudly, "You can move the grave, but you have to give me 50,000 yuan."

He Bin thought he was dreaming. His boss donated one million to the county just to avoid giving him money. Not to mention fifty thousand, he wouldn't even give him fifty dollars.

Captain Du immediately said that fifty thousand was too much. He said with a sullen face, "Fifty thousand? Comrade Lao Ding, you are asking for too much. Fifty thousand is impossible. Just tell me a real number."

Ding Tangping pulled out a knife from his pocket, pointed the knife at his aorta and said, "Fifty thousand, not a cent less, or I will die here today."

Captain Du tried to persuade Ding Tangping but he refused to give in. It was Secretary Ruan who persuaded him to reduce the price from 50,000 to 30,000, but he refused to give in.

Then, both of them looked at Lu Jiaxin.

Lu Jiaxin asked expressionlessly, "Captain Du, Secretary Ruan, is this what you meant by no mistakes?"

Captain Du originally thought that it would be fine as a formality, but he didn't expect something like this to happen. He suppressed his anger and said, "Comrade Lu, we didn't handle this properly. It's just that blood cannot be seen when moving the graves, otherwise it will be unlucky. Look at this..."

Lu Jiaxin snorted in her heart, hoping that she would give in: "Captain Du, Secretary Ruan, do you want me to agree to his conditions?"

Captain Du didn't want to do it either, but at the moment, he had no better way than to agree to Ding Tangping.

Lu Jiaxin said expressionlessly: "Captain Du, Secretary Ruan, I can give him the 30,000 yuan. But if you do that, you will break your promise. I will not donate the remaining 500,000 yuan."

Captain Du's face turned green.

Secretary Ruan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. If the remaining 500,000 yuan was not donated, the road would be half-finished and there would be no money left. Then the village would not have electricity, and his tenure as village party secretary would be over.

He Bin was not surprised. If his boss was willing to give money to Ding Tangping, there would be no donation. But he did not expect that the people here were so incompetent that they could not even take care of an old man. Well, maybe it was not incompetence, but deliberately turning a blind eye.

Ding Tangping only knew that Lu Jiaxin donated money to build roads in the county, but he didn't know how much she donated. Hearing that half a million was so much, he was shocked, scared and hateful: "Lu Jiaxin, you are so rich but you are not willing to give a little to save your uncle, how can you be so cruel?"

Lu Jiaxin looked at the knife in his hand and said coldly, "Aren't you going to die? Then stab it in! Don't worry, no one will stop you. When you die, I will buy you a high-quality coffin. It will be regarded as a filial piety of my granddaughter."

Ding Tangping knew that she had a heart of stone, but she remained indifferent even though he was about to die. He burst into tears: "Jia Xin, it was Grandpa's fault at the beginning. What do you want me to do to forgive you?"

Lu Jiaxin said disdainfully, "Back then, you relied on your status as the son of the village chief to forcefully marry my grandmother, but you didn't treat her well after you married her, causing her to die early. My mother also suffered a lot in your Ding family, and was forced to escape because she couldn't survive. You did such a sin, and you still want to use my money to eat and drink. There is no such a cheap thing in the world."

After a pause, she said, "But for grandma's sake, I'm willing to give in. You want thirty thousand, I can give it to you now. Brother Gu, give him the money."

Ding Tangping was a little excited, and his hand holding the knife began to tremble.

When Captain Du heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly shouted, "Comrade Lu, please wait a moment, let us talk to Comrade Ding."

Seeing that the goldsmith was still busy, Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything. She didn't say no, but she was willing to give them some time to talk.

Seeing Secretary Ruan getting closer, Ding Tangping once again pointed the knife at the aorta and said, "Don't get any closer, or I'll die here."

Secretary Ruan said rudely, "Ding Tangping, if you have the guts, stab him. You are already in a coffin, and you are trying to scare people with your death. Who can you scare?"

Without waiting for Ding Tangping to speak, he continued, "Your death will be the end of everything, but what about your two grandchildren? Have you thought about how they will live in the village in the future?"

He thought that Lu Jiaxin was a girl, and girls were easily soft-hearted, so he hoped that Lu Jiaxin could give in. He never expected that this girl would be so hard-hearted, and he couldn't smooth things over in this situation.

Ding Tangping could tell that this was a threat. If he really died here today, his two grandsons would have a hard time in the brigade. But his family was now penniless, and his two grandsons might not even be able to find wives in the future. He could not give up this only chance to turn things around.

On the last day, any vote not cast will be void.
