Chapter 69: Which bastard dug up our ancestral graves?
Licheng and Cuicheng are more than 300 kilometers apart. The national highway is winding and after leaving the city of Licheng, it becomes a loess road.
Thanks to Zhao Dongsheng's many years of driving experience, he was very familiar with the roads in the province and didn't take many detours. At 12 noon, he arrived smoothly at Old Ye's hometown - Yecuo.
As soon as he got off the car, he was hit by a salty, damp and cold sea breeze. Su Chen hurriedly wrapped Acai's scarf tighter.
Ah Cai opened his eyes dazedly, and was stunned for a long while before mumbling, "Dad, candy~"
"Here, here, daddy will get it for you."
It was cold, so the candy figure didn't melt. When he took it out of the plastic bag, its appearance remained unchanged. Ah Cai licked it, grinned, and handed the candy figure to Su Chen: "Daddy, eat it!"
"Dad doesn't like sweet food, Ah Cai, you can eat it yourself."
The little guy happily took the candy man back and started licking it.
At this moment, several people had already looked around, and Zhao Dongsheng swiftly took out the snakeskin bags brought by Lin Jingyu and A Biao from the trunk.
"Where is the grave?"
"Yes, Uncle Ye, where is Aunt's grave?"
Lin Jingyu took out a paper man, shielded the sun with his hands, and asked in a low voice.
The little paper man turned around and stopped moving.
"Uncle Ye?" A Biao frowned and looked at Su Chen again.
Su Chen was helpless: "I'm afraid this Ye House has changed so much that Uncle Ye can't recognize it!"
The paper man nodded repeatedly.
When Zhao Dongsheng and Aliang saw the paper man and heard Lin Jingyu and A Biao calling the paper man Uncle Ye, they almost popped their eyes out of shock.
At this moment, the paper man was nodding, with his mouth wide open, almost enough to fit an egg.
After a long time, Aliang took a breath and looked at Su Chen with admiration.
This must be the work of my uncle, right?
My uncle is so awesome!
Zhao Dongsheng also showed awe: He is worthy of being a master!
Lin Jingyu and A Biao silently calculated the time when Lao Ye would leave Licheng and settle in Cuicheng, and sighed helplessly.
"At least thirty years!"
"After the opening up, our country has been changing rapidly. Cuicheng is changing every day, and I guess Licheng is about the same. Look at these houses, many of them are newly built, right?"
The house is newly built, but the road is still a dirt road.
If it wasn't a sunny day, I guess one step would have stirred up a puddle of mud.
In Zhao Dongsheng's words, this yellow mud road is like a shitty road when it rains. He also warned A Liang: "Don't drive on this kind of road. Not only will it scratch your car, but it's also very difficult to wash. Do you understand?"
Aliang nodded repeatedly.
Someone in Yecuo noticed a car parked at the entrance of the village. They came out curiously to take a look, and gathered in groups of three or four, wondering if it was a villager or someone's relative.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, this group of people were walking towards the village, which was closer.
As Su Chen walked, he took the birth chart of Old Ye's wife and calculated the location. He found that the grave was in a field on the edge of the village. He pointed it out and smiled, "The grave should have been untouched."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this.
Lin Jingyu carried his backpack and carefully put the paper man away.
A Biao took A Cai without saying a word. The little guy was very resistant at first, but when A Biao easily carried him on his shoulders and sat on him, he immediately started giggling.
"Dad, ride the big horse!"
Su Chen laughed: "That's your uncle A Biao."
"Haha, Uncle A Biao is a Malaysian!"
Su Chen held his forehead.
Ah Biao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, brother. I won't argue with children. Malaysia is Malaysia."
Lin Jingyu joked: "Brother Biao, if you spoil your child like this, when you have your own, let alone Malaysia, you will crawl even if you are asked to be a turtle."
"Nonsense, nonsense, I don't even have a partner, how could I have a child?" A Biao's face flushed with embarrassment.
So when he walked into the village and saw someone curiously looking over, he glanced at them unhappily.
He looked fierce to begin with, and this sweep scared the villager so much that he took two steps back and patted his chest.
This one was obviously a coward, but there were also some brave ones who stepped forward and blocked the road, put their hands on their hips and stuck out their necks: "Who are you? Who are you looking for in our village?"
This... I don't understand at all!
Zhao Dongsheng, who was walking in the front, stepped aside decisively. Lin Jingyu stepped forward and explained in Licheng dialect with a smile, "Hello, fellow villager. I'm from Cuicheng. Do you know Ye Mingcheng? He passed away, but before he died, he asked that his wife's grave be moved to Cuicheng to be with him and their children."
"Ye Mingcheng?"
The man grunted, his brow furrowed.
Obviously, he had never heard of this name.
He walked over to a group of elderly people nearby and asked, and one of them said, "According to seniority, that's your seventh uncle, the one who used to be in the army."
The old man slowly stood up and walked to Lin Jingyu. He looked at him carefully with his cloudy old eyes and asked, "Is Ah Cheng really gone?"
Lin Jingyu nodded: "Yes, just a few days ago, a few of us were Uncle Ye's neighbors and held his funeral."
"No, you can't. Now that Ah Cheng is dead, his nephew Ah Tao should be the one to hold the funeral. Also, I heard Ah Cheng has a shop that's very valuable and has a lot of money. All of this should be given to Ah Tao. You can't monopolize it!"
As soon as he said this, someone came out with a broom and a hoe, looking like he was ready to fight.
Zhao Dongsheng snorted lightly, pulled Aliang behind him, and took two steps forward.
A Biao returned A Cai to Su Chen and took two steps forward.
Both of them are tall and strong, and the villagers are scared when they see them standing like this.
Lin Jingyu finally smiled and said, "My fellow villager, Uncle Ye said that when his wife was bullied in the village, you all ignored her and almost killed his son. For this grudge, he would rather burn the money than leave it to his nephew. He has done justice. Except for the funeral and relocation of the grave, the rest of the money will be donated to the country."
His voice was resounding: "So, fellow villagers, are you trying to rob the country of its money?"
This one sentence made the old man blush and his eyes began to look away.
In fact, both Licheng and Cuicheng have the tradition of nephews inheriting family property. Especially if no sons were born in the early years, the nephew would be adopted in the family tree, so that the inheritance would be natural.
but……
The villagers all knew that Ye Mingcheng's wife had died. Ye Mingcheng's brother was really cruel and killed her. That's why they fell out and Ye Mingcheng fled to Cuicheng.
Although they have the same surname Ye and are from the same clan, sometimes they feel disgusted when they talk to each other.
A while ago, A Tao boasted in the village that A Cheng opened a shop in the city and was very rich, and that all these would soon be his. Everyone was very jealous.
When he heard that Ye Mingcheng did not leave the money to A Tao according to custom, but donated the remaining money to the country, the old man was not angry at all, but felt a little secretly happy.
Now let’s see how A Tao makes his fortune!
Soon, the old man stepped aside and even pulled the others aside: "Everyone, disperse, disperse. It was our villagers who wronged Ah Cheng back then. He has hatred in his heart. Donating the money to the country is fine. Anyway, it won't be left to outsiders. This matter is none of our business. Disperse, disperse."
As soon as the old man spoke, those around him who were holding brooms and hoes put down their tools.
Someone even pointed towards the field with a smile: "Look, his wife's grave is right there."
Lin Jingyu thanked him and continued walking forward.
However, as he was walking, he turned his head and found that there were several people following him, both old and young, all looking happy. He guessed that they were there to watch the fun.
Someone saw Lin Jingyu nodding and smiling at them, so they bravely stepped forward, walked up to him, and explained in a low voice: "Almost all the graves in our Yecuo are built over there. Every year when Qingming Festival comes, we can get a lot of mooncakes by working in the fields..."
Su Chen listened carefully.
It seems that giving out mooncakes to ancestors during Qingming Festival is a province-wide custom, not just in Cuicheng but also in Licheng. There must be a reason for this, but unfortunately the original owner had no idea...
Just when I was thinking of going back to find Lin Jingyu to find out more, I stopped in front.
Then came a scream that reached the sky: "Which bastard? Digging up our ancestral graves?"
