Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai didn't go along to see the ancestral grave, but stayed behind to help Li Xiulan kill chickens, and incidentally check on the farm's situation.

He came to the farm side, saw free-range chickens running all over the mountain, saw the pond full of fat fish, and his aspirations for his future life running an agricultural products company grew even stronger.

These free-range chickens, these fat fish, as long as the agricultural products distribution company is established, and connected with Zhang Sheng's Huangsheng Hotel, and connected with Niu Chunsheng's invested Lixin Grand Hotel, there will be no worry about sales channels!

This business might not reach the scale of Li Guoshan Decoration Company, but it is 100% under his control!

How the company develops, who the agricultural products are sold to, he holds all the decision-making authority!

So the more Wang Erhai looked at this farm, the more he felt it had potential.

On the other side, Wang Xiaohua followed Wang Zhanggen and Wu Banxian, going into the mountain together to see the ancestral grave.

At this time they were standing on a desolate halfway up the mountain, before them was a dirt mound overgrown with wild grass.

The custom here is different from elsewhere, because grave relocation is something that often happens, so the grave mound is generally just a dirt bun, they won't use cement to build it up, and certainly won't make a massive engineering project of a tomb.

Such a grave mound, generally after a few generations, with no one coming to manage it at Qingming, quickly automatically turns into flat land, just as if the grave had never appeared at all, as for the grave owner's information, that is even more thoroughly erased from this world.

"There's a problem, there really is a problem!"

Wu Banxian circled the grave mound examining it carefully, then said this sentence with a heavy expression.

"Wu Banxian, where is the problem?"

Wang Zhanggen's heart gave a start, and he hurriedly asked.

Wu Banxian didn't immediately speak the words, but said:

"Dig it open and look first!"

Immediately he burned three incense sticks at the grave mound, set off firecrackers, then used the iron spatula he brought along, and began digging the grave mound.

Not long after digging, a wide-mouthed bowl turned upside down was revealed.

Seeing this bowl meant they had already dug to the golden urn.

The graves here, even the older generation who weren't cremated, after experiencing bone collection and second burial, the bones would also be placed into a golden urn for burial, not placed into a coffin for burial.

So after Wu Banxian dug open the grave mound, what he saw was a golden urn, not a coffin.

Wu Banxian used the spatula to slightly pry open the upside-down bowl.

Turning on the flashlight he brought along, he shone it into the golden urn opening.

Just one look, and he immediately blurted out:

"It's ruined!"

Wang Zhanggen's heart strings tightened:

"What happened, Wu Banxian?"

Wu Banxian then spoke honestly:

"This bowl opening wasn't sealed properly, white ants got into the golden urn, now there's a big white ant nest inside, the golden bones have probably all been eaten by the white ants."

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen immediately turned pale with shock:

"This... what can be done..."

Wu Banxian with a heavy expression, hurriedly said:

"Don't panic first, panicking is useless. What can be done at this stage is to hurry and find a good day to come back and do bone collection again, see how much can be collected, collect as much as possible, then go look for another feng shui treasure land."

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly nodded:

"Okay okay, then we'll check the almanac when we get back, additionally I have to notify my big brother, after all bone collection and grave relocation is a family big thing!"

Wang Xiaohua seeing white ants had gotten into the golden urn, his heart was also somewhat surprised.

Is this ultimately a coincidence, or is there truly some connection in the dark?

The three people returned from the mountain together.

Wang Zhanggen then hurriedly took out the almanac, put on his old flower glasses, and looked at the days together with Wu Banxian.

Additionally he took out his mobile phone, and called his big brother Wang Zhangtian:

"Hello, big brother, there's something I need to tell you!"

"What thing?"

"Our dad's grave has a problem, needs bone collection again, you'll probably have to come back for a trip!"

"Ah? How did a problem occur? Since the last grave relocation, hasn't it been fine all along?" On the phone Wang Zhangtian was very surprised, straining his voice to ask.

Wang Zhanggen then spoke honestly:

"Today I went with Wu Banxian to open it and look, white ants got into the golden urn, grew a big white ant nest!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhangtian immediately slapped his thigh:

"I said it, how come my family's Yaohua can never find a wife, turns out it's because of this!"

Wang Zhanggen couldn't help but gossip and ask:

"Wasn't Yaohua dating someone before?"

Better not mention this, once mentioned Wang Zhangtian became indignant:

"That girl he found before, from Jiangxi, opened her mouth asking for 288,000 bride price, I'll be damned, is this selling a daughter or marrying a daughter, I directly disagreed, finally made Yaohua break up with that girl!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen went "oh oh" twice, nodding in sudden realization.

Wang Zhangtian then asked:

"Speaking of which, how come you suddenly went to find Wu Banxian to check the ancestral grave? Your three aren't all doing very well?"

Wang Zhanggen moved his mouth, wanting to confess his cancer, but in the end still didn't say it.

This kind of bad thing is still better not to spread around carelessly.

Living to this age, in Wang Zhanggen's subconscious, even blood brothers have become outsiders.

But this is also normal; many brothers and sisters, ever since each started their own families, their relationships grow increasingly distant.

Being able to maintain mutual help like Wang Dashan, Wang Erhai, and Wang Xiaohua, in the arduous rural areas there are actually not many; after all, after marrying and having children, many people can't even manage their own lives, let alone look after others.

"Recently wasn't it that my grandson was born? I just wanted to check the ancestral grave; didn't expect one look and I discovered this problem."

Wang Zhanggen casually found a reason to brush it off.

Mentioning Wang Zhanggen having a grandson, Wang Zhangtian became even more displeased, and couldn't help but start scolding:

"Younger brother, not that I'm saying this about you, but you had a grandson, why didn't you hold a full moon banquet back in the hometown? Dashan didn't he earn a lot of money? How can he still be so stingy!"

Wang Zhanggen, being spoken to like this by Wang Zhangtian, had some trouble saving face, could only say:

"I also wanted to hold one, already planned to notify people, but Dashan and his wife didn't want to hold one; additionally Wu Banxian also said, my grandson was weak at birth, can't contact too many people, not suitable for a full moon banquet."

Wang Zhangtian sighed:

"Is that so... then later when he turns one year old, hold one then."

Wang Zhangtian couldn't help but envy:

"Didn't expect you're even earlier than me in holding a grandson; my Yaohua, who knows when he'll be able to marry, let alone have children!"

Wang Zhanggen then comforted:

"Eldest Brother, this no need to rush; when fate arrives, Yaohua will naturally start a family; good things don't fear coming late."

Wang Zhangtian then said:

"I see it's the ancestral grave being infested by white ants causing trouble, that's why Yaohua still can't marry a wife; later I'll also check the date, pick a good day I'll bring Yaohua back together; this grave relocation must bring him along, so the ancestors can bless him to quickly marry and have children!"

Wang Zhanggen then said:

"Alright alright, then let's leave it at that; my side I'll pick a good date and tell you, your side pick a good one and tell me too; we'll discuss together."

Wang Zhanggen hung up the phone, heart suddenly feeling a bit more balanced.

Actually compared to his eldest brother, his fate counts as pretty good.

At least his three sons have all found partners, and eldest son has already given him a grandson.

Not like his eldest brother's side, Wang Yaohua can't find a wife, estimated they'll die out completely.

Compared to dying out, getting cancer counts as what?
