Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 766 - 765: Where Do You Want to Bury Me?
Chapter 766: Chapter 765: Where Do You Want to Bury Me?
Lin Dong felt cheerier after being counseled by Lin Xia, "Big sister! I was being stubborn before! I really don’t want to see anyone suffer misfortune!"
If it hadn’t been for Meng Xiangnan’s sister hiring someone to hospitalize him, he and Meng Xiangnan, who shared a dorm room, would still have had a good relationship.
The events that followed made it impossible for him and Meng Xiangnan to interact as they had before.
Lin Dong remembered when he was discharged and returned to school for exams, Meng Xiangnan had once begged him to spare his sister.
But Lin Dong was also furious at the time, he simply couldn’t do what Meng Xiangnan asked!
Lin Dong thought it did not matter that he was beaten, but he was worried about his pregnant big sister getting into trouble.
He understood too well the obsession and importance both families placed on children.
Later, Grandpa Shao, along with Grandfather in his fury, insisted on severe punishment, and Meng Xiangzi was sentenced to one year.
Lin Xia knew his brother, he was not a ruthless child.
"Big sister understands! But Dongzi, you must remember, some people are not worthy of sympathy.
Meng Xiangnan tells you these things for what? Isn’t he just trying to make you feel guilty? Make your life miserable! Or perhaps, he is plotting how to plan your revenge! You must be extra careful when you return to school!"
Lin Xia suspected that since Meng Xiangnan said so, perhaps he was up to something again.
Lin Dong seriously promised, "Don’t worry, big sister! I’ll definitely be careful!"
The two talked for a while, and Lin Dong asked, "Big sister, it will soon be Qingming, can we relocate Mom’s grave this year? Have you talked to Grandpa recently?"
"I have talked! Grandpa found someone to check it, and we plan to go back before Qingming! Take a few days off from school at that time!"
"Okay! I will take leave then! Big sister! Will you and the second sister go together?"
"Of course! We are going back!"
In fact, in some places, it is the custom that daughters should not appear at the gravesite.
But in other places, it is allowed, and daughters are even needed to perform certain tasks.
As daughters, Lin Qiu and Lin Xia of course wanted to go back together to relocate their mother’s grave.
The Feng Shui Master hired by Grandfather Qin Zeming also did not oppose their going together.
Lin Dong, hugging Jingjing, asked, "Then what will Jingjing and Keke do during those days?"
"I’ve made some preparations in advance! I’m busy every day now, and they don’t really look for me much!"
Lin Xia had never spent a night away from the children since their birth; she was indeed very reluctant to leave.
But relocating the mother’s grave was a major event, and if the Lin Family found out, it could still potentially lead to conflicts.
Since the older brothers had mixed feelings of love and hate towards Lin Aiguo, Lin Xia had to be the stern voice!
After talking with Lin Dong, she spoke to his protectors, urging them to keep a close watch for suspicious people and to ensure Lin Dong’s personal safety at all costs.
She could not let her brother become a live target for others seeking revenge against her!
...
Qin Zeming instructed Lin Chun to notify Lin Aiguo that they were about to relocate the grave.
His youngest daughter was his wife in her lifetime, and conventionally they should be buried together after his death.
But their situation was a bit special, so special measures could be taken.
Initially, when they found Lin Xia and the others, they wanted to relocate the grave immediately, even though the youngest daughter had been deceased for many years, they still wanted to bring her home!
He had considered bringing up the matter but refrained because Lin Xia and the others disagreed.
However, it became a deep-seated wish in their hearts; every time they thought of their younger daughter, the elderly couple missed her dearly.
Now that all the children agreed, and he had consulted a Feng Shui Master to properly arrange the cemetery, everything was ready but the east wind, and they were about to set off soon.
However, he could not possibly relocate the grave without informing the other party.
Lin Chun actually couldn’t guess how his dad would react, so he didn’t bring it up during New Year either.
"Dad! We’ll be back in a few days!"
"Great to have you back! How long will you stay this time?"
"We can’t stay more than two days. We want to relocate mom’s grave to grandpa’s place!"
Lin Aiguo’s voice immediately rose eight degrees, "What? Relocate the grave! Who will I be buried with when I die? Do you want to bury me at your grandfather’s place?"
He admitted that he had indeed been unkind to her while Yu Wanhua was alive, often beating and scolding her.
But they were legitimate spouses, and they were to be buried together after his death.
If they relocated the grave, what would he do in the future?
Faced with these questions, Lin Chun was at a loss for words; all he could say was, "We’ll talk about it then!"
Lin Aiguo’s reaction was fierce, "Lin Chun! Don’t give me that ’we’ll talk about it then’ line! I do not agree anyway! Who came up with this idea? Why do you have to relocate the grave?"
Seeing Lin Chun’s troubled expression, Qin Zeming, not knowing how to respond, took the phone and said, "It was everyone’s decision! This call isn’t to ask for your opinion, just to inform you! Whether you agree or not, we still have to relocate! She’s my younger daughter!"
When Lin Aiguo heard Qin Zeming’s voice through the receiver, he lost his confidence and muttered, "She’s your younger daughter, but she’s also my daughter-in-law!"
A married daughter is like water thrown out; they have no right to do this!
But Lin Aiguo only dared to say this in his heart; he didn’t dare to say it aloud.
"You still remember she’s your daughter-in-law? How did you treat her back then? If it hadn’t been for the bullying by your family, would she have passed away so early?"
Qin Zeming, overwhelmed with anger, spoke sternly, "We didn’t know what was really going on before! The kids also didn’t tell us for fear that we’d blame ourselves! But let me tell you, you can’t hide the truth forever. I can tell from the little details how your family treated them!"
"I just had the children call you as a formality! Whether you agree doesn’t matter!"
Qin Zeming hung up the phone with a "snap".
Lin Chun looked conflicted; he didn’t want things to turn out this way... ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
At Lin Aiguo’s home, the living room was filled with people.
Lin Aiguo chain-smoked dry tobacco, not the only one smoking; Lin Aiye sat beside him, also smoking, filling the room with swirling smoke that was suffocatingly thick.
But at that moment, the atmosphere was so heavy that nobody minded.
Liu Shuqin’s lips moved slightly, finally opening her mouth to say, "Big brother! We absolutely can’t let them relocate Yu Wanhua’s grave! Now that you’re getting older, who will be buried with you when that day comes?"
Originally, when Lin Chun and the others had visited their grandfather, she had vaguely worried that they might forcefully relocate Yu Wanhua’s grave!
Big brother did indeed marry Qian Chunli, but now they were divorced, and it didn’t matter.
When the time comes for big brother to grow old, he can’t be buried alone there! He needs a companion!
Lin Aiguo choked on the smoke and coughed twice, "We’ll talk when they come back! These things can’t be clarified over the phone!"
He was embarrassed to mention how Qin Zeming had scolded him before abruptly hanging up the phone.
The tough attitude on the other end shocked him, causing him to feel waves of guilt, especially since he had indeed treated Yu Wanhua particularly badly before; he didn’t know what would happen when they met again...
