Chapter 402 Return to the Village to Find Someone
[I remember my grandfather once said that palm trees and eucalyptus trees should not be planted near graves. These two trees are evil and will bring misfortune to the family. 】
[If you don’t tell me, I haven’t noticed that there seem to be these two kinds of trees beside and on the grave of Uncle Wang’s family! 】
Li Tong: "Yes, the netizen above is right. It seems that your grandfather is also an expert.
Palm elm and toon trees are indeed ominous trees. Generally, no one would plant ominous trees next to graves. Otherwise, the descendants of the family will be in trouble and suffer death or injury. "
Uncle Wang exclaimed: "So the trouble our family has encountered recently is because of these two trees?"
"Well, that's true."
"His grandma's bastard grandson actually tricked our family. He is really looking for death."
Uncle Wang cursed angrily.
After scolding him, he probably felt that he was rude and looked embarrassed: "Master Li, what should I do now? I will listen to you."
[Uncle, why have you changed? Talking so rudely. 】
"Am I rude? It's a good thing that I didn't beat him up. He is such a black-hearted person. He actually wants to make our Wang family extinct!"
A flash of anger flashed in Uncle Wang's eyes, and he was thinking about how he would teach that turtle grandson a lesson when this incident passed.
How dare you trick your elder brother into planting such a harmful tree.
Li Tong shook his head helplessly and interrupted: "The sapling on the grave is not very big. It probably didn't penetrate the coffin. It just needs to be removed. But the one next to it is difficult to deal with."
Uncle Wang was furious and was only thinking about going back to teach that turtle grandson a lesson. He didn't pay much attention to Li Tong's words and let out a stunned "Ah".
Li Tong had no choice but to patiently repeat the original words.
After hearing what Li Tong said, Uncle Wang was a little anxious. If even the master couldn't do anything about it, then the Wang family would not be able to finish it.
He immediately asked: "What should we do? If this is not dealt with, there will definitely be troubles in our family one after another.
How about I go back and get a saw and cut it? "
Li Tong frowned slightly and stopped: "No, this tree seems to be old, and the roots must have extended into the coffin. If you cut it off hastily, it will hurt the roots of future generations..."
Uncle Wang saw that neither this nor that would work, and he was so anxious that he sweated, "What should we do?"
"You go back and find some manpower to dig out the roots of this tree and transplant it somewhere else."
When Uncle Wang heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll find someone to help."
…
After arriving in the village, Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang met. They asked their children to look after the house at home in case anyone came to express their condolences.
After Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang left the house, they did not go to find anyone directly. Instead, they went to the village branch at the east end of the village.
I informed the village chief: "Village Chief, I found a fortune teller and she showed us the feng shui of our ancestors' graves.
They said that the reason our family is in the current state is because of the tree next to the grave, so I thought about asking a few villagers to help move it.
But as you know the situation in my family, you may not be able to invite people, so we want to use your name to call people. "
When the village chief heard what they said, his heart tightened and he immediately agreed.
"It's okay, it's still important. Feel free to call people in my name. I hope your Lao Wang family can get through this difficulty."
Half an hour later, Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang used the reputation of the village chief to find four or five strong men, each holding a shovel, and gathered at the entrance of the village.
"I said, Lao Wang, you are just looking for trouble. Then why is a tree an eyesore to your family? Do you have to remove it at this juncture?"
"That's right. You're not too tired to worry. You haven't slept for a long time. Why did you think of this?"
"I saw your eldest brother insisted on planting that tree before, and I tried to stop him. He was very angry and scolded me.
You said I was uneasy and well-intentioned. Look at the fuss, but you didn’t expect that I was really fooled at the time! This is certainly not a good sign. "
Uncle Wang listened to their few words and did not explain anything. He just smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone.
When this is over, I will pay two hundred labor fees to everyone present. "
"You're welcome, we're all neighbors, there's no need to be so polite."
"That's right, help each other and don't have to be so acrimonious."
"We've been in love for many years. It's not necessary. It's just a breeze."
Everyone pretended to be polite and declined, but Uncle Wang didn't intend to owe them any favors. These people said so nicely.
In fact, I don’t know why I’m arranging his house, but he’s already committed to the money! If it had been before, he might have believed their politeness,
But now I won’t, I won’t take advantage of others, and I won’t let others bully me.
[Uncle, I don’t think they are deliberately avoiding you like you said? 】
[It seems true. If I really avoided you, I probably wouldn’t be able to find so many people to help. 】
[It’s hard to explain this interpersonal relationship. Everyone knows best what it is like. 】
[Actually, I have always had a hunch. If the villagers really alienated them deliberately as they said, is it possible that the Wang family itself has a bad reputation in the village? So something happened.
No one wants to come. Firstly, they are afraid of being contaminated with bad things. Secondly, it is unnecessary because the relationship is not deep. 】
[If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have noticed. Now that I think about it, when the old couple went to invite people, they were all reluctant.
In the end, they reluctantly agreed to remove the name of the village chief. 】
When Uncle Wang went to invite the last person, Aunt Huang ran to the shop and bought a few more cigarettes, and gave one to each of the people who came over to express her gratitude.
Those who were still declining at first declined and were not prepared to accept it. Seeing Aunt Huang's enthusiasm, they finally accepted it, their eyebrows relaxed, and everyone cleared away the haze in their hearts.
They pinned their cigarettes to their waistbands and whispered in pairs:
"When did the old Wang family become so generous?"
"Don't worry, I was scared to death when he said he would pay us wages. His family's situation is such that I wouldn't dare to take it even if it was given to me, for fear of losing my life."
"I guess I've experienced this too, so I looked away."
"Actually, Lao Wang is much better than the rest of his family. At least he is not overbearing and knows how to take things into his own hands.
Unlike his brothers and father, who couldn't stand a loss at all, and because there were so many men in the family, they were domineering in the village in the past few years.
I remember that ten years ago, Lao Wang’s father and Hu Lao’er’s family had a fight over farm matters, and one of Hu Lao’er’s legs was even broken.
I have been walking with a limp these past few years, and I still haven’t married a wife. "
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't be heard. Although there are enough people in their family who have died, the number of the younger generation can't be matched.
Too many. If you are unhappy and come to your house to make trouble, it will not be easy to deal with. "
"..."
Although the voices of the people behind them were low enough, they still followed the wind and drifted into the ears of Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang.
He knew that he needed something from someone right now, so he didn't care too much about it. He just pretended that he didn't hear it and led the person towards the destination.
Soon they arrived at the place, he gave a brief explanation, and they started working with shovels.
