Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Sister-in-law Aidi, why are you kneeling?"

Li Xiulan looked surprised, and hurriedly helped her up:

"Sister-in-law Aidi, whatever it is, say it after you get up!"

But Wang Zhanggen's face had already turned black.

Clearly, everything had been seen through by Wu Banxian.

This Zhou Aidi was the culprit who dug up his ancestral grave!

Now she had come to apologize!

Sure enough, Zhou Aidi did not get up, but remained kneeling:

"Changgen, Xiulan, I have come to apologize to you. Your family's ancestral grave was dug by me!"

Even though Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan had already been psychologically prepared, when they heard Zhou Aidi say it with her own mouth, they were still full of surprise.

First, they were surprised that Zhou Aidi could do such a thing.

Second, they were surprised that Wu Banxian's divination was so accurate, it was practically divine!

He had even predicted that Zhou Aidi would personally come to apologize and admit her mistake!

"I deserve to die. I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me. My family originally had no qi luck, and after your family absorbed it like this, my son and I will probably live even more miserably in the future!"

Zhou Aidi continued to beg for forgiveness:

"Will you forgive me? As long as you forgive me, I am willing to do anything!"

Before coming here, Zhou Aidi had undergone a fierce psychological struggle.

Deep down, she certainly was not willing to come apologize and admit her mistake.

After all, having done something so despicable and immoral, who would be willing to admit it personally?

But there was no choice. Wu Banxian said she must obtain the Wang family's forgiveness, and only then could the qi luck sucked away from her family be restored.

Digging up someone else's ancestral grave was out of envy for others; now coming to apologize was to keep her own family's qi luck.

In the end, she did not truly realize her mistake.

She was simply worried that her own and her son's future days would get worse and worse because of feng shui and qi luck, nothing more.

Human selfishness is sometimes like this.

If it did not affect her own interests, even if she knew she was wrong, she would not go admit her mistake.

"I really don't understand. We didn't provoke you or offend you, so why did you go dig up my family's ancestral grave?"

Wang Zhanggen asked angrily.

Previously, he had still sympathized with Zhou Aidi, this rural left-behind elderly widow, but now he could not sympathize with her at all.

This old woman was truly ruthless. Going alone in the middle of the night to dig up someone's ancestral grave, wasn't she afraid of encountering something unclean in the wilderness?

"I was confused for a moment. I know I was wrong now..."

Zhou Aidi knelt on the ground, head bowed, wiping away tears.

Looking pitiful.

Li Xiulan looked on and felt somewhat soft-hearted. After all, Zhou Aidi was so old, and alone and pitiful in the world, truly pitiable.

"Sister-in-law Aidi, get up first and then speak."

Li Xiulan went to help Zhou Aidi up again.

But Zhou Aidi refused to get up:

"If you don't forgive me, I won't get up."

Li Xiulan looked helpless and glanced at Wang Zhanggen.

Clearly, this was up to Wang Zhanggen to decide.

After all, the grave dug was Wang Zhanggen's own father's grave, so her word didn't count.

Li Xiulan inwardly hoped Wang Zhanggen would make a big thing small. After all, the ancestral grave had already been dug, and now it had been moved elsewhere for burial. Pursuing it further would be meaningless.

But Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face:

"How can you ask me to forgive you!"

If it were something else, it could be easily forgiven.

But something like digging up an ancestral grave is truly hard to forgive.

That crossed the bottom line!

"As long as you can forgive me, I am willing to do anything!"

Zhou Aidi continued to beg.

Li Xiulan said in a low voice to Wang Zhanggen:

"Why not let her go burn a stick of incense at the old man's grave, apologize, and let this matter be dropped? We're holding a banquet on New Year's Day. Making a big fuss now isn't auspicious."

Wang Zhanggen also felt Li Xiulan made sense.

He actually really didn't want to forgive Zhou Aidi. Given his petty nature, he would have liked to cut Zhou Aidi into eight pieces!

But in no more than a short while, his two sons would be holding their banquets. If something went wrong at this time and ruined his two sons' weddings, that wouldn't be good.

So he said:

"Tomorrow morning, kill a chicken, prepare incense and candles, and come with me to apologize before my father's grave!"

Zhou Aidi, hearing this, was as if granted a great pardon, and hurriedly nodded:

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely do it first thing tomorrow morning!"

Early the next morning, Wang Zhanggen brought Zhou Aidi to the old man's new grave, had Zhou Aidi kneel before the grave mound for a full hour, and only then let her get up and leave.

When they returned to Shanggou Village, Zhou Aidi's mood lightened considerably; she thought Wang Zhanggen had completely forgiven her.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Zhanggen parted from her, he threw down one sentence:

"Don't come eat at my place on New Year's Day."

Hearing this, Zhou Aidi couldn't help but tremble.

Wang Zhanggen clearly meant he wasn't letting her attend the wedding banquets of his Eldest Brother and Second Brother!

It was very obvious that this meant Wang Zhanggen had not sincerely forgiven her.

Who knew if not being sincerely forgiven could bring back the family's Qi Luck.

Watching Wang Zhanggen's receding back, Zhou Aidi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

And just then, Zhou Aidi's old mobile phone rang.

It was her son Liang Xinghua calling.

She immediately looked happy, thinking her apology had worked.

Because her son Liang Xinghua hadn't proactively called home for a long time.

Unexpectedly, she had just finished apologizing when her son called back.

However, when she answered the phone, on the other end came Liang Xinghua's roar:

"What are you doing? How could you go dig up someone else's Wang Zhanggen family's ancestral grave? Are your nerves crossed!"

It turned out Zhou Aidi was the culprit who dug up Wang Zhanggen's family ancestral grave; this matter had spread through the Village, and who knows who had passed it on to Liang Xinghua's ears.

Liang Xinghua got angry as soon as he heard it.

Digging up someone else's ancestral grave—what an immoral and shameful thing!

As Zhou Aidi's son, how could he afford to lose this face?

So he immediately called back to scold Zhou Aidi.

Zhou Aidi was caught off guard and trembled from Liang Xinghua's scolding.

Clearly she hadn't expected her son to scold her the moment he opened his mouth.

"Xinghua, don't be angry."

Zhou Aidi felt a bit guilty, then hurriedly explained:

"I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I? I thought the Wang Family had taken too much good Qi Luck, so I wanted to dig some back for you, to let you live better in Shenzhen."

Liang Xinghua laughed in anger:

"Can you stop doing such stupid things? I've noticed that since my dad passed away, you've become more and more abnormal. Can you calm down? How am I supposed to have any face to return to Shanggou Village!"

Hearing this, Zhou Aidi felt very wronged in her heart:

"You're not coming back? Didn't you say you'd come back on New Year's Day?"

Liang Xinghua said coldly:

"Not coming back. Going back would only make me a laughingstock for others!"

Zhou Aidi fell silent, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"Then will you come back for the Spring Festival?"

"Not coming back either." Liang Xinghua's reply was still cold.

"If you don't come back, how am I supposed to spend the Spring Festival alone?" Zhou Aidi felt like the sky was about to fall.

She had longed day and night for her son to return to the Village to visit her.

Never did she expect that now her son said not only would he not return on New Year's Day, but he wouldn't return for the Spring Festival either.

"Spend it however you want, just stop making trouble for me! I'm very busy!" Liang Xinghua's tone was cold to the extreme; after saying this, he hung up the phone.

Actually, there was some element of angry words in what he said.

He wasn't sure whether he would return to his Hometown for the Spring Festival, but most likely he still would.

If he didn't return to his Hometown for the Spring Festival, where else could he go?

Spending the Spring Festival in an urban village in Shenzhen was cold and desolate, with no New Year Flavor at all.

He just wanted to give his old, confused mother a lesson so she wouldn't make trouble anymore, which was why he said such cold words.

Seeing Liang Xinghua hang up her phone in anger, Zhou Aidi couldn't help but shed tears and sob softly.

Just treated coldly by Wang Zhanggen, then scolded by her son—truly adding insult to injury.

She felt the cause of all this was that Wang Zhanggen hadn't sincerely forgiven her, so her family's Qi Luck still hadn't been brought back.
