Chapter 400
It was almost winter and it was still raining. Such weather made Su Zilong extremely irritable. His car was struggling between the rugged mountain roads, and he was even more irritable. He prayed silently in his heart - never get stuck in the soil and unable to get out. When he drove back to the city, the first thing he did was to wash the car quickly, not only to remove the soil, but also to wash away the bad luck of "going to the grave".
Su Zilong was very reluctant to come to the countryside, especially in such weather, and was reluctant to cross mountains and ridges to visit his father's grave. He contacted a stone processing factory in the town in advance, carved the tombstone as quickly as possible, and asked the boss to drive over in person. The car could only be parked at the foot of the mountain. Such a heavy stone tablet could only be carried up the mountain by several strong men. This lifting would inevitably alarm the villagers in the village.
Su Zilong's irritability had reached its peak, and he frowned - he wanted to come quietly, but why did he have to make noise? When others knew about it, they would call him unfilial again.
In the same clan, there was an old man who was a few years older than his father. When he heard the news, the old man immediately came to the foot of the mountain with his younger generations. When he saw Su Zilong's look, the old man's eyes could not be hidden. He pointed at Su Zilong with a dry tobacco pipe and cursed: "Do you still have the face to come back? I thought you were dead outside!"
"Uncle, it's not that I'm not coming. I have to do everything before I get it done! Moreover, I have to prepare the best for my dad, of course it takes time. Even if I'm late, you don't need to scold me like this, right?" Su Zilong was lazy and didn't look at the elder intently: "To be honest, you are not my family, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me?"
"I have heard that you are inhumane. After getting along several times, I know that this is true. I am a countryman and I am older. You look down on me and lie to me, and I also accept it. But your father and I are cousins. Do you know why the village values clans so much? It is because of blood and blood that people are called a family. No matter what, as long as you greet and the family is together, there will always be a care." The old man sighed and continued, "I have no objection to you if you don't recognize me as a relative; but if your father recognizes me as the eldest brother, I have to make the decision for him! His monument has been erected long ago! You don't have to mess around here to disrupt his tranquility. I am talking to you in a good voice. If I get angry, don't blame me for being rude!"
Su Zilong was scolded by an old man and was in a very unhappy mood. But many people were watching. He was embarrassed to take action. He couldn't beat the old man in front of everyone, right? He could only say arrogantly: "I am my father's own son. Who is closer than me? Who knows what you got from my father, and dares to point fingers at me. Bah!"
The old man almost turned his back on his back, while Su Zilong took his leave and didn't even want the most basic face. The boss was walking up the mountain with a group of people. Because the stone tablet was too heavy, they had to shout horns. The old man waved his hand and said to the junior behind him: "You guys, stop them quickly and don't let them mess around!"
A few young and middle-aged men rushed to the mountain, but they had a conflict with the people brought by Su Zilong. The old man had no choice but to stop the fight first and said, "Zilong, I have already said that the stele has been erected long ago. You won't think about removing the erected stele and erecting your stele again, right?"
"I am my dad's son, and I am the only one who is qualified to do these things."
"It's a mess!" said the old man with a heartache: "Your sister and your nephew, aren't they your father's relatives?"
"Hmph, it's really the mother and son who are trying to ruin my good deeds! Let's take advantage of my busy schedule and come and show the limelight!"
"Where are young people not busy? Only you are busy, but they are not busy?" The old man said excitedly: "Before your father burned Qiqi, your sister came once a week, and we saw her filial piety. The last time she came, she brought a piano to the kindergarten in the village, saying that she was thanking her fellow villagers for helping her take care of her father's cemetery. We all know what kind of person she is! She said she just opened a piano store, wasn't she busy? You don't have your father in your heart, and you have to make a fuss about it!"
"Hmph! It turns out that woman bought you." Su Zilong was so angry that he raised his slap. Several young people panicked and hurriedly surrounded the old man. However, the old man was not afraid and sneered: "Let him beat him! Let everyone know that the Su family has a rebellious son!"
If the old man was really beaten up, the people in the village could detain Su Zilong and the people and the car. Oh! It would be a big trouble! How could he think about sending his father's ashes to his hometown for burial? If he was buried in the city, burial, and erecting a monument at one time, there would be no such many things to do.
Su Zilong regretted that he stopped arguing with the people in the village, and turned to the mountain. The road leading to the mountain was a dirt road. Su Zilong took too big steps and a shoe was trapped in the soil. Because of his hurry, his foot stepped on the mud. Su Zilong was so angry that he cursed: "What a mess!"
However, the villagers had already become familiar with the mountain roads. They walked faster. The old man turned his head and said contemptuously: "I thought we could argue on the road. Who knew you were walking so slowly! Haha, climb slowly! It would be nice to be able to go up the mountain before dark."
Su Zilong wore a pair of brand new socks, covered with mud. In his opinion, the mud was no different from a pile of dog shit. He was so disgusting that he really wanted to escape from this place quickly. But after going up the mountain, there were still many processes, and opening the monument that Tong Tong had erected was a big project. The more Su Zilong thought about it, the more angry he became - this nephew would cause trouble for himself!
During the difficult climbing process, Su Zilong suddenly understood why Su Zishan and his son erected the monument so on time? They must have their own minds, which is to bury their father and their father's original wife, Hua. Haha! That woman gave her father a headache for a lifetime, how could she let her continue to harass him after her father's death? Su Zilong speeded up and climbed halfway up the mountain, and was about to proudly expose Su Zishan's "conspiracy", but the scene in front of him made him unable to say anything.
The father's tombstone only reads his father's name, while his original wife's tomb was still quietly in the corner, and the two were not buried together. This scene caught Su Zilong off guard, and he murmured: "Why, why is this..."
On the father's tombstone, not only were the names of Su Zishan and his son engraved, but Su Zilong's name also engraved. Moreover, in terms of order, Su Zilong is ranked in front of their mother and his son. Because the prefix of "Su Zilong" is "the eldest son".
What Su Zilong was most worried about was that the monument they had erected did not have his own name. Now it seems that he was completely over-concerned.
How could this happen? What exactly did the mother and son want to do? What conspiracy do they have?
Su Zilong couldn't help but hold his forehead. He couldn't figure out what was going on. The old man said, "On the first day of October, your nephew called me and asked me if you were here. I said no, and I was about to contact you. Your nephew said, "No, he had already carved the inscription and just put it on. At first, I thought there were only the names of their mother and son on the stone tablet, and I wanted to persuade them to come. Unexpectedly, they not only added your name, but also ranked your name in front. Your sister said that your father had made great efforts to make your brother and sister live in peace. So, she would not care about these trivial matters. She just wanted to comfort her father's spirit in heaven, and she didn't care about anything else. Long, your sister and your nephew have achieved this. Aren't you moved?"
Touching!
Su Zilong never believed that the mother and son would be so kind. Maybe they had cursed on this stone tablet to make him feel at ease. He said with a blank expression: "I don't care, I've brought the stone tablet. Can you still ask me to return the goods?"
The boss was so tired that he was panting. When he heard this, he almost collapsed: "Mr. Su, this is not something I can do! I have been in business for so many years and have not been as tired as I am today. If you return the goods, I will not do it!"
"I just said casually, I am so generous, can I rely on your money?" Su Zilong said irritably: "It's all these people. The monument has been erected, and I don't tell me, which makes me go in vain."
The old man said, "Zilong, speak with conscience! I have called you so many times, but you didn't answer any of them! You didn't call me before you came today!"
Su Zilong lost all his face, and he went crazy: "Su Zishan and his son are not justified, I don't care, I can only use my monument!"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly came from behind him. It turned out that one person had fallen down. After the monument was lifted up, it could not be placed flat on the ground, and it was supported by several people. How could the person holding the monument fall down?
It was still drizzling in the sky, and the atmosphere became more solemn, and no one dared to say a word.
The old man hurriedly said to Su Changhe's grave: "Brother, we've aroused you here, I'm so sorry! I've said everything I should say, what should I do, let your son decide for himself! I've lived for so many years and haven't seen him like this. If you want to teach him a lesson, give me some more tips! I'll leave first."
The old man left, and the boss was also scared. He tried his best to persuade Su Zilong that the old man under the ground must be angry, so he should leave quickly. Su Zilong believed in metaphysics very much. He was also very scared when the man fell for no reason. But after leaving like this, he really lost face all over the floor and could never pick it up again.
Compared with life, face is not that important. Su Zilong said fiercely: "It's so unlucky to go out today! Su Zishan! Shu Yutong! You two are waiting, see how I deal with you! Let's go!"
Although it was very hard to carry the stone tablet down, everyone was eager to walk quickly. The road down the mountain was even harder to walk, and Su Zilong's pants were all splashed with mud spots. He muttered something and kept cursing "unlucky", so the boss hesitated for several times before saying, "Mr. Su..."
"What are you doing?! I said, you won't lose money!"
"No, I think... you've come, it seems that you didn't say hello to the old man, you left..."
Oh! Yes!
Su Zilong looked back and saw that among the tombs, the place behind his father was still in the position of C. Although he was lonely, he exuded a sense of majesty, as if he was looking down at the rebellious son from a high place, and silently scolding him.
Su Zilong could only lament again, why did he choose such an unlucky day to erect a monument for his father!
He climbed up and down with difficulty, and wanted to burn paper, but because it rained, he couldn't catch fire. He sweared in front of his father's grave, and after that, he slapped himself in the mouth. To outsiders, he seemed a little schizophrenic.
After finally finishing his trouble, he got into the car tiredly. His assistant said, "Mr. Su, your wife has met Tong Tong."
Su Zilong suddenly felt spirited again: "Really? All the things they said were recorded?"
