Chapter 209 Suspicion of Suicide



If you speak politely, perhaps they might not hold it against you out of pity.

But when it comes to going up against Wang Tianxiao, he's not afraid of anyone.

They will bravely step forward.

Before I knew it, about an hour had passed.

Wang Tianxiao had been talking until his throat was dry when finally an old woman appeared on the path.

Because he had been paying attention, he recognized her immediately as the terrifying old woman.

Genuine product guaranteed.

The old lady was stunned for a moment when she saw Wang Tianxiao. She probably didn't expect to run into him here. The world is so small.

She quickly realized what was happening and rushed back to her front door, almost knocking Wang Tianxiao over in the process.

Seeing that her granddaughter was alright, she finally felt relieved and pointed at Wang Tianxiao, asking, "What are you doing here again?"

It seems that the hostility towards me still runs deep.

Wang Tianxiao adjusted his mindset, added a layer of protection to himself, and then said, "Auntie, I came to see you today because there is something I want to discuss."

"I have nothing to discuss with you. You can leave now."

Wang Tianxiao: "?"

It tastes just as familiar as ever.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and was not affected at all. He continued to smile and said, "Auntie, what happened last time was a misunderstanding. Now that we've cleared things up, why are you still so hostile towards me?"

"What do you mean 'openly discussed'? I never opened up to you at all. It was you who bewitched the director, making him unable to distinguish right from wrong..."

“Auntie, I don’t have that kind of ability,” Wang Tianxiao finally understood what it meant to be stubborn to the extreme. Seeing that he couldn’t explain it further, he decided not to continue and went straight to the topic of today’s task, “Auntie, actually I came here today…”

"Come on, I'm telling you, I have nothing to say to you."

"But you have to listen to me, because if you don't listen to me, and construction starts over there, you can't go around causing trouble."

Upon hearing about the construction work, the old woman realized Wang Tianxiao's purpose. She gave him a fresh look and said angrily, "So it's because of you! I knew you weren't a good person. You're so young, why did you have to think about digging up someone's grave?"

Sure enough, the reason was just as the construction workers had said.

Speaking of leveling graves, it is indeed a historical issue.

Because Qingcheng has always practiced burial, this custom remained unchanged until Wang Tianxiao's previous life.

In earlier years, everyone's graves were buried in their own private plots or contracted land.

Therefore, once you walk onto the main road, you can see burial mounds everywhere.

At first, it wasn't a big deal since there were only a few people, but as the number of deaths increased, the number of graves in the fields also increased, which disrupted the normal order of farming.

Imagine, many plots of land were originally square and regular, but suddenly a few graves were buried in them, dividing the land into small pieces, making it impossible for machines to move around, and making planting difficult.

For this reason, the government finally reformed the traditional burial mounds a few years ago.

The government set up a cemetery on the edge of the ditch, where everyone in the village could bury their loved ones without paying any fees.

Everyone was required to relocate the graves in their fields. If they refused, the land would be forcibly leveled. In any case, the ground was not allowed to look like it had many graves.

The requirement is that the view from any angle is flat.

It is estimated that the old lady's husband's grave was forcibly leveled around this time.

This must have caused dissatisfaction.

When the time came, most people moved their graves. Everyone felt that since the government had arranged public cemeteries, they should move their graves there and also bury their parents together or with their grandparents, which would be more convenient when paying respects.

But there are always some people who are hard to talk to. They just don't want to follow the call, and the end result is that the cemetery is forcibly leveled and merged into the land, and the exact location of the grave can no longer be found.

Perhaps, after a year or two of cemetery clearing, people can still roughly distinguish between them, but as time goes on, facing cemeteries that look exactly the same everywhere, how many people can clearly remember them?

This creates a huge problem for visiting graves.

When visiting a grave, people usually burn paper money at the top and bottom of the grave. This is because the coffin is placed in the order of the top and bottom of the grave. Burning paper money at the bottom of the grave is like burning paper money at the feet. If it were at the top of the grave, it would be like burning paper money at the head, which is very unlucky.

So, unless someone is completely clueless about the situation, who would defy the wind and refuse to relocate?

This old lady is probably one of those particularly difficult people to deal with.

She probably didn't expect things to turn out this way; the grave wasn't moved, but it couldn't be found at all.

That's when they panicked, not wanting others to touch that land.

But that land was just wasteland, and it didn't belong to her family, so how could she control others?

“Auntie, look, that piece of land never belonged to your family, or even to Mijia Village. It was fine for you to use it when it was vacant, but now that we want to use it, it’s not appropriate for you to keep it like this, is it?”

"Don't give me any of that nonsense about what's appropriate or inappropriate. I'm not listening. All I know is that my wife is buried nearby, and nobody can touch her. If you dare to touch her, I'll fight you to the death."

The old lady continued to display her fierce personality, remaining very composed.

Wang Tianxiao smiled slightly, "Auntie, the main problem is that you can't make the decision on this matter. We are discussing it with you now out of respect for you. If you continue like this, then we will have no way to discuss it and will have no choice but to take action by force."
