Chapter 78: Dancing with Stiff Joints
Under the cover of night, a black 7 Series was driving on the empty road. This was the most remote southern suburb of Jiangbei City, and there was hardly a single car to be seen at night.
In the driver's seat, Sister Hong was wearing a neat sports outfit. She no longer had the charm that she used to have under her silk nightgown, but she looked more decisive and efficient.
Moreover, this outfit makes her curvy figure even more obvious.
Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, exuding a youthful air. She didn't look like a 30-year-old at all.
In fact, Sister Hong has always taken very good care of herself. Her skin is white and delicate, smoother than that of many young girls. It's just that she usually wears her hair in a bun and wears dark nightgowns, which makes her look a little mature.
"By the way, Xiaochen, if you exorcists exorcise ghosts, do you need to know the details of the supernatural events?" Sister Hong suddenly asked.
She knew Jiang Chen was busy, and since he had already agreed to the task yesterday, Sister Hong didn't bother to drag him into nagging about the details.
Now that I was about to deal with this matter, I inadvertently spoke up to remind him.
Coming from a wealthy family, she still has some emotional intelligence.
"Tell me about it." Jiang Chen nodded.
"Yeah, when I mentioned it to you before, I simply said that something strange happened in my family. Actually, it happened after my father returned to his hometown."
"I also vaguely heard my mother mention that our Gu family was once a large clan and had some influence."
"And for some reason, my grandfather's branch was kicked out of the family tree."
"Later, the Gu family fell into decline, and only retained a certain influence in the local village."
"My dad became more and more successful in business. He didn't say anything at first, but later, as he got older, he wanted to return to his roots. So he accepted several groups of distant relatives into Gu's company and even supported some of them to start their own companies."
"When he casually mentioned the family tree more than a month ago, a large group of people immediately returned to the village to persuade all members of the Gu family to accept our branch again."
"Actually, no one objects. After all, the Gu family's glory was almost a millennium ago. The current Gu Group is the real glory. Countless people fight tooth and nail to get in. With just a nod, their sons and daughters can get in. Who wouldn't be happy?"
"Soon after, the village held a grand banquet and solemnly invited my father back to worship the ancestors."
"My mother told me that they returned to the village a month ago."
"After adding our family to the genealogy, my father also said he wanted to move my grandfather's grave to the Gu family's ancestral tomb. This is a little difficult to do. I heard that the ancestral tomb is where the most prestigious people in the Gu family are buried. They are very respected, and most of their descendants are still alive."
"My grandfather was expelled from the family tree, but he was buried with these highly respected ancestors. Several elders who were older than him were a little bit resistant."
"But after my father announced his intention to donate 60 million yuan to the village for development, several elderly people expressed their willingness to personally carry my grandfather's coffin."
"Some of them are older than me, so I have to call them great uncles."
"I heard that the Gu Family Village held a six-day and six-night banquet, the scale of which rivaled the ancestral worship ceremony held during the Gu Family's heyday."
"Six days later, at three o'clock in the morning, everyone went up the mountain to get the coffin."
"My mother didn't go. Women can't be present at grave-moving and earth-breaking events."
"Later, around 1 a.m., she saw my dad coming down with a group of uncles, young men from the Gu family, looking dusty and dirty. There were a few people missing from the group. My dad said nothing and left the village with a group of people overnight."
"When he came back, the house started to go out all the time."
