After the original owner's parents passed away, Ji Yu cremated their bodies and later erected two tombstones on the mountainside.

No one has come to clean up the area this year, and the weeds around it are growing very lush.

Ji Yu took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, took the sickle borrowed from Aunt Zhang's house, and went forward to weed.

Yuan Shenghe had never done such a thing himself. Even when the Yuan family was offering sacrifices to their ancestors, there were professionals to do it.

He also imitated Ji Yu's movements and joined in weeding with a sickle. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually became more adept.

Driver Lao Zhao doesn't even have a chance to work.

After more than half an hour, the surrounding weeds were finally cleared and the tombstone was wiped clean.

Ji Yu put down two fresh bouquets of flowers and paper money, lit the incense and candles, knelt on one knee in front of the tombstone, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face on it.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you again. Your son is now rich and doesn't have to work so hard to pay off his debts. You can rest in peace knowing this."

If you see the original Ji Yu in the underworld, don't blame me. I didn't mean to occupy your son's body. I am also a victim.

I have endured all the hardships your son has endured in his life, and I have paid off all the debts he owed.

If you don't see it underground, it would also be a happy thing.

He might have traveled to my world. Then your son is lucky. My family owes less money than yours, and we don’t have any bad relatives. He doesn’t have to be a cannon fodder who dies early.

I hope your son will get married, have children, and live a long life. You are so lucky!

"What are you mumbling about?" Yuan Shenghe saw his mouth opening and closing, not knowing what he was mumbling.

"I'll tell the two elders the good news and give them some advice." Ji Yu's legs felt a little sore from squatting, so he stood up by supporting his knees.

Yuan Shenghe grabbed his arm and lifted him up. Ji Yu was lifted up without any effort and his back straightened instantly.

"enlighten?"

"Yes, let them feel more at ease in the underground." Don't really come to trouble him after seeing his son. "Let's not talk about this. Let's burn some incense for them first."

Ji Yu took out the whole bunch of incense, lit it with a lighter, and then gave half to Yuan Shenghe.

When burning incense, Yuan Shenghe did not say anything particularly sentimental. He only said that he would take good care of Ji Yu in the future, so that they could rest assured knowing what was happening in the afterlife.

The incense stick was firmly planted in a handful of soil, and the smoke drifted away in the wind.

The two stayed for a while and then went down the mountain.

"Where do you plan to move their graves?" Yuan Shenghe asked him after getting in the car.

"I originally wanted to move their graves to the cemetery in Yunhai City, where the feng shui is good and it is convenient for tomb sweeping."

"Originally? You mean you don't want to now?"

Ji Yu said dimly, "Yes, what if they don't like leaving their hometown?"

He is not their real son. If the two elders prefer to be buried in Qingxi Town and he moves their graves there, what if they come to look for him in his dreams at night?

After much thought, it would be safest to bury him in my hometown.

Yuan Shenghe understood, "That's why you went to see the village chief."

Ji Yu sighed secretly, it really doesn't take any brainpower to talk to smart people.

"In the future, tourism will be developed here, and some cemeteries will definitely be moved. Burials here won't be allowed anywhere. I think the government will plan a cemetery, so I want to ask the village chief for details. If possible, I will move my parents' graves there."

The car followed the same route and drove back to the village chief's house. We saw a small car parked at the door and guessed that the village chief had returned.

Ji Yu went forward and knocked on the door, and the person who came out to open the door was the village chief's wife.

"Aunt He, has the village chief returned?"

"Yes, I'm back, but the village chief is a little busy now. He is receiving other guests. If you want to see him, you have to wait a while."

Ji Yu noticed that her attitude was a little cold, but he didn't care because he would not have any dealings with her in the future.

"It's okay, we can wait on the side."

Aunt He frowned.

Ji Yu probably knew what she was thinking, so he simply passed her and shouted inside: "Uncle He, I'm Ji Yu, are you free now? I want to talk to you about the demolition and relocation of graves."

"Didn't I tell you that the village chief is receiving guests? How can you yell so loudly?" Aunt He was immediately unhappy.

After a while, the village chief came out after hearing the noise.

"Ji Yu, when did you come back?"

"I just came back yesterday." Ji Yu's attitude immediately became respectful. At first, Aunt He did not want to lend money to his family. It was Uncle He who found him privately and gave him some money.

"Then come in quickly, don't stand outside." Uncle He quickly invited him in, not acting like a stranger just because they hadn't been in touch for a few years.

Ji Yu said, "Aunt He said you were entertaining guests. Will we disturb you if we go in?"

He Mingde frowned and glanced at his wife, "You are not a distinguished guest. You came at the right time. I won't disturb you."

As soon as Ji Yu heard it, he knew that his guess was correct. The so-called guest inside was most likely his aunt Du Yueyi.

Aunt He and Du Yueyi are very good sisters.

It stands to reason that two snobbish people cannot necessarily be friends, but one likes to put on airs and the other is good at flattering, so after so many years, the two of them have been interacting with each other, and Aunt He naturally favors Du Yueyi.

The lie was exposed on the spot, and Aunt He was so embarrassed that she turned around and went back to the inner room.

Ji Yu brought Yuan Shenghe and followed Uncle He into the room, and sure enough, they saw Du Yueyi in the living room.

Du Yueyi didn't expect them to come again so soon. When she thought of the village chief's refusal, her face turned unhappy.

"Uncle He, let me introduce you. This is my friend, his last name is Yuan." Ji Yuquan pretended not to see her.

He Mingde noticed the extraordinary demeanor of Yuan Shenghe outside. He had the aura of a superior, which he had only seen in high-ranking officials in the town and city.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan. I am He Mingde, the head of Pinghu Village. Nice to meet you."

Yuan Shenghe reached out and shook He Mingde's hand, "Hello."

"Old He, we haven't finished talking about our business yet." Du Yueyi didn't want Ji Yu to hear it, so she felt a little resentful towards Aunt He in her heart for not driving them away.

"Ji Yu is here now, you can ask him directly. If he doesn't want to, I can't do anything about it. As for the other thing, I can't make the decision, so don't look for me again."

He Mingde didn't want to help at all. If it weren't for his wife, he wouldn't even want to see Du Yueyi.

After Ji Yu's parents became rich, they would help Pinghu Village from time to time.

After Du Yueyi and his wife became rich, they never did any good deeds, but they were very good at bribery.

"Aunt, you are not going to ask Uncle He to help you get more of the demolition compensation, are you?" Ji Yu looked at her with interest and said:

"If I remember correctly, my father and you separated a long time ago. He's old now, so he doesn't care about his dignity anymore?"
