Scum Male's Whitewashing Manual

6.11

The villagers were immediately dumbfounded.

“This, this can’t be. Boss, It’s just a grave, right? Let’s dig it now!!!”

The man who said this was vicious. As he spoke, he waved his spade and began to dig at the grave mount.

“How dare you!!! Zhang Liu!!! You have no conscience! My son at least called you Uncle. Now, you dig his grave?! You have no conscience!!!”

“Bah!” This Zhang Liu looked older than Qiu Wu, and his sideburns were full of white hair. At the moment, with bare arms and a strong black bone, he looked like an ordinary and simple man.

But the words coming out of his mouth right now had nothing to do with appearances. “You are the one who has no conscience! When you were young, you didn’t have a father or a mother to care for you, and starved as you lived day by day. The whole village didn’t care about you. It was the old Xuan family who lent you a hand, gave you food and drink, and helped you survive. Still, you hurt their daughter and son-in-law, and also want to dig their graves. Everyone else in the village can say that I have no conscience, but you, Qiu Wu, you can’t!!!”

He spoke with indignation and righteousness, as if he was consciously doing the rightful bidding of heaven.

The villagers standing behind him all have the same expression, and they all began to talk.

“You couldn’t even eat when you were little and were about to starve to death. It was Xuan’s family who saved you. But after that, you watched their family die.”

“Qiu Wu, you listen to great aunt’s advice, and didn’t you say it yourself? What age is this? Why are you engaging in feudal superstition? Your children have been dead for so many years. Why should you care so much? Quickly move the grave. Isn’t it good for the whole village to get rich together?”

“No way! No way!!”

Qiu Wu’s wife was in tears and on her knees, completely devoid of the arrogance she had when targeting Grandma Xuan during the day. She cried and pleaded to the people of the village who were still a united front before her, “You can’t dig my son’s grave, please don’t dig it. If you dig the grave, his soul will be lost forever!!!”

“How can it be that serious? Get out of the way, get out of the way! Can’t you just get a bigger coffin for your child?”

“No, don’t!! This is my son!!”

Wei Mingyan stood not far away, looking on at the despair on Qiu Wu’s face clearly. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the little grave.

“Everyone, stop arguing. It’s okay if this grave isn’t moved.”

Just when everyone was quarrelling, the magnetic voice belonging to the young man resounded calmly, as if a pot of ice water was poured on the fire. All of them immediately quieted down.

All eyes fell on him, but Wei Mingyan remained as comfortable as ever. Some people couldn’t help but ask carefully, “Boss, will you still buy this mountain?”

“Even if I buy it, I can’t move the grave. Because of that, I won’t be able to open a road here, and the development may be…”

The young man who looked like a city dweller sighed and said so, his handsome face full of dilemma under the light of the torch.

“Boss, please be merciful. Our village is really poor, and you are saving us by buying this mountain!!”

Immediately, someone began to play the sympathy card. As expected, the young man from the city had even more hesitation on his white face. He seemed to be extremely irritated and frowned, hesitantly saying, “How about this, you guys, there’s no need to move the grave…”
