Chapter 528: Many People in the Rural Area Have Red-Eye Disease
"I don't even know who dug it! If I knew, I wouldn't need you to tell me—I'd take a hoe and chop that bastard to death!"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Zhangtian was filled with righteous indignation and very angry.
Although this ancestral grave favored his younger brother's family more, it still blessed his own family.
Moreover, this grave site was relocated by him hiring a Feng Shui Master.
Before the grave was relocated, his family wasn't very smooth; he often lost his job, his son Wang Yaohua was wayward, always loafing around, but after the relocation, his job became stable, and Wang Yaohua also became more responsible, not only finding a job but also finding a partner.
If he hadn't returned to Shanggou Village today to fulfill a vow at the ancestral grave, he still wouldn't know that someone had dug up the ancestral grave!
"Hurry back, the old man's coffin lid has been pried rotten; we two brothers need to discuss what to do."
Wang Zhangtian said this.
Wang Changgen hurriedly said:
"Okay, okay, I'll go back tomorrow!"
After hanging up Wang Zhangtian's phone call, Wang Changgen immediately said to Wang Xiaohua:
"Something big happened at home; your mom and I are going back home tomorrow."
Wang Xiaohua didn't ask much, because he had already heard what Wang Changgen said when he answered the phone just now.
He nodded and said:
"Okay, okay, then you two go back tomorrow."
Du Xiaojuan frowned:
"But we booked a flight back on the 7th."
Wang Xiaohua said:
"Refund the ticket for the 7th; go check the platform now to see if we can still buy tickets for tomorrow."
Du Xiaojuan nodded hurriedly.
Tomorrow is October 3rd, exactly the peak travel season.
As expected, not surprisingly, many flights were sold out.
Only one flight departing after 1 AM still had tickets.
Upon learning this, Wang Changgen said nothing more and told Du Xiaojuan to book that flight.
Du Xiaojuan advised, why not check the high-speed rail?
Wang Changgen said, no need to check, just buy that plane ticket; high-speed rail isn't as fast as a plane.
He was now anxious as fire, wishing he could fly back to Shanggou Village immediately.
So the faster the better.
Departing after 1 AM is fine; it's just rushing the road; he hasn't rushed before, being tired is nothing; the most important thing is to return to his hometown quickly.
The ancestral grave being dug up is such a big matter; it must be handled quickly.
In the end, Du Xiaojuan could only compromise and booked the flight for tomorrow at 1 AM.
Before booking, she also asked Zhao Xinyi on WeChat, asking if Zhao Xinyi wanted to book a ticket to go back together; if she felt the itinerary was too rushed, she could stay here a few more days and didn't have to follow them back.
Zhao Xinyi didn't want to stay here for a moment; Beijing City was a place of sorrow for her, so she immediately agreed.
After several people finished eating at the canteen, they immediately rushed back to Xijiao Hotel.
Then they packed their luggage.
They set off after 10 PM, taking a taxi to the airport.
This time, Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan no longer disliked the taxi fare being expensive.
They only wanted to go back quickly.
They arrived at the airport after 11 PM.
They got their boarding passes and checked their luggage.
They waited in the waiting room until after 12 AM.
Finally, the boarding time arrived.
At 1 AM, the plane took off on time.
Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan sat on the plane with heavy expressions; they never expected that this trip to Beijing would end because the ancestral grave was dug up.
And this first time taking a plane in his life also became tasteless because of this matter.
"Exactly who is so lacking in common sense to dig our ancestral grave? We haven't offended anyone, have we!"
On the plane, Li Xiulan murmured.
She racked her brains and thought carefully, but really couldn't think of who would dig her family's ancestral grave.
Those who had grudges with the Wang Family were just a few.
He Dazhu? Yang Dafu? Yang Xiaocai?
But weren't their grudges all resolved?
Not long ago at Xiao Hua's university entrance celebration, they all came to attend.
Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan also received them politely and did nothing to deny them face.
If not them, then who?
Wang Changgen sighed:
"Who knows, rural areas are like this, there are many disputes, many people with red-eye disease; I should have listened to Xiao Hua earlier, should have kept a low profile, shouldn't have held that university entrance celebration; maybe the person who dug our family's ancestral grave has no grudge with us, simply envious of our family!"
Li Xiulan, hearing this, nodded in agreement.
This seems absurd, but actually in rural areas, it is a very common phenomenon.
Those people with red-eye disease in rural areas hate the poor and fear the rich; they are existences with extremely twisted psychology; seeing you living too well, they secretly do some tricks to you.
Previously there was a family; they dug a pond to raise fish and made a lot of money.
Someone would grow envious, slip poison into another's fish pond, kill all the fish in the pond, and cause heavy losses.
Reporting such a thing is useless even if you do, because the culprit can never be caught; the countryside is not like the city, where surveillance is everywhere. At night in the countryside, you can't see your hand in front of your face, and if someone wants to sneak around and cause trouble, you can't guard against it.
"So what should we do now?"
Li Xiulan frowned tightly and asked:
"Will this affect our son's future?"
This was what Li Xiulan worried about most.
She herself didn't care, she just feared it would affect her three sons' futures.
This year was a key node.
Eldest Brother Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan had reached the stage of discussing marriage, Second Brother had just returned to the county town to develop and was at a crucial juncture in his career, and Youngest Brother had just entered university and was at a turning point in life.
At this time the ancestral grave was dug up and the feng shui destroyed, and Li Xiulan truly worried it would affect her three sons' futures.
"It will surely have some influence; next time invite a Geography Master to take a look and try to remedy it."
Wang Zhanggen's expression was extremely grave.
At four in the morning, the airplane landed at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.
Du Xiaojuan knew the two elders were very anxious, so she spent several hundred yuan to hire them a taxi directly, so they could go straight back to Shanggou Village.
After seeing the two elders into the taxi and telling them to call home to report their safety once they arrived, Du Xiaojuan then took another taxi with Zhao Xinyi back to Tianhe.
Back on the Tianhe side, Zhao Xinyi returned to her residence, while Du Xiaojuan returned to the place where she and Wang Dashan lived.
Du Xiaojuan returned to her residence, and it was just past five in the morning.
Wang Dashan was sleeping drowsily and was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
Walking out into the living room, he saw that Du Xiaojuan had returned, and thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, or that he was dreaming.
He rubbed his eyes, slapped his face, and seeing Du Xiaojuan still before him, he said with a face full of surprise:
"Why are you back at this time? Where are my parents?"
Du Xiaojuan took off her high heels and put them in the shoe cabinet while answering with a tired, bitter smile:
"Your family's ancestral grave was dug up by someone, and your parents rushed back to deal with it, so I bought plane tickets overnight to accompany them back. As soon as we got off the plane, I hired them a direct taxi to Shanggou Village."
Hearing this, Wang Dashan was also very surprised:
"What? My family's ancestral grave was actually dug up by someone? Who is so lacking in virtue!"
Du Xiaojuan smiled bitterly:
"Who knows? Even your parents can't figure out who would do such a thing."
Wang Dashan hurriedly said:
"No, such a big thing has happened at home, I must go back once."
