Chapter 1489: Stopping the Funeral

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When her master left, he’d rather leave all his wealth to an ‘outsider’ and not mention a word to anyone from the Lin family. This was enough to explain Elder Lin’s attitude when he was still alive. How could Qiao Nan bear to go against his wishes and do things that would make him unhappy? “Dad, don’t interfere in this matter. It’s definitely not because of money.”

“However, this is so unpleasant. They have been kicking up a fuss for a long time. We should send Elder Lin off for the last time tomorrow. With the Lin family creating trouble, what shall we do if we carry the coffin to the cemetery tomorrow?” He was afraid that his coffin couldn’t be carried out and he couldn’t enter the crematorium. After autumn, the mornings and evenings were cool. However, the temperature during the day was still high.

If this continued to drag on, even if Elder Lin and Old Master Zhai were in ice coffins, their corpses couldn’t always lie in the ice coffins, right?

“Don’t worry. Brother Zhai has already arranged everything. If the Lin family wants to play rouge, they should see where they are at first. Not to mention master, did they think they could cause trouble to Old Master Zhai’s funeral? Grandpa said that I’ll plan my master’s funeral from the start to the end with him. This is called saving resources and times for the country.”

The two elderly who had passed away had made great contributions to the construction and development of the country. Planning two funerals meant that the central leaders had to be separated and participate in both funerals.

Out of respect for their wishes when they were alive, who would dare object to their funerals being held together? One had to understand that the words of the deceased were great. No one could determine otherwise.

“What about the other people in the Zhai family?” Qiao Dongliang sighed. Nan Nan was still so stubborn. “Would your parents-in-law be upset?”

“No. They support my decision fully and don’t object to this.”

The Zhai family didn’t have any opinions. Who was Qiao Dongliang to give opinions then? He knew that Elder Lin treated his daughter well. Upon knowing that he had passed away, Qiao Dongliang was upset as well. He knew that there was one less person in the world who doted on Qiao Nan.

Upon thinking about his own negligence in duty, Qiao Dongliang was very worried. After Elder Lin passed away, if he did something that didn’t meet the mark, Qiao Nan would have to suffer because of him then. It could be said that Elder Lin’s existence had made up for his shortcomings. “Nan Nan, burn more joss paper for Elder Lin. When Elder Lin was alive, he loved the three children. Remember to bring them to visit him more often in the future.”

“...”

This time around, Qiao Nan didn’t say anything because even if Qiao Dongliang didn’t say this, she would have done so.

The day Elder Lin’s and Old Master Zhai’s coffins headed out to the cemetery, indeed, the Lin family had not given up. They wanted to force Qiao Nan to concede. “Don’t even think of leaving. This is the business of the Lin family. Every family should handle their own funerals. Hand over our old master. You don’t have to interfere with this!” As long as they had taken over Elder Lin’s funeral, they would have enough reason to inherit all the wealth Elder Lin left behind.

Everyone’s eyes started to glow when they thought of how wealthy Elder Lin was.

They suddenly realized that Elder Lin’s death was pretty good!

When Elder Lin was still alive, regardless of who from the Lin family required anything and no matter how much they begged, Elder Lin was never willing to help them solve their problems.

Now that Elder Lin was dead, if they wanted his money, Elder Lin couldn’t stop them from getting rich!

“What is going on?” As Qiao Nan expected, on the day Elder Lin’s and Old Master Zhai’s coffins were heading to the cemetery, the leaders from the central authority had sent men down to participate in the funeral. The old revolutionaries whom Old Master Zhai and Elder Lin knew when they were still alive or their heirs had also rushed down to the Zhai family’s house in the capital, preparing to send them off for the last time.

The Lin family’s shameless behavior was really an eye-opener for everyone.

“Do you know who is lying in there? You have to know that without these elderly’s sacrifices and painstaking efforts, how else would you be able to lead a good life today? With the two revolutionaries gone, not only are you not upset, but you’re even causing trouble here. Are you trying to bully us, thinking that we don’t have enough people? If you want to play rouge in front of the soldiers, we can compete with our gun skills now!”

As a solider, they should protect the wealth and safety of the country and the citizens. They couldn’t be aggressive toward the unarmed people. However, they also couldn’t let citizens run up to them, play rouge, and disrespect their revolutionaries.

“I...” The people from the Lin family turned pale and were afraid.

In the Lin family, there were some who were successful, but they didn’t manage to survive those special ten years while hiding overseas. Only Elder Lin had insisted on staying here to prove his innocence. It wasn’t easy for him to get through it. As he held on to that last breath, injustice was undone.

Aside from Elder Lin who became successful, the rest of the Lin family were incapable people who didn’t see many big shots in their lifetime.

They dared to crowd in front of the Zhai family’s gate because they heard that although the Zhai family held a high status, they had never used their authority to bully others.

Who knew that the Zhai family had indeed not flared up? However, those who weren’t part of the Zhai family didn’t have good tempers. Once they displayed their black and shiny guns, how could the people from the Lin family not get frightened?

Some of the more timid ones were so scared that their legs went soft. Although they weren’t standing in front, they couldn’t help but step backward. As their legs went soft, they even tripped over themselves and fell to the ground. That scene was really embarrassing and unsightly.

“Sir, don’t be angry. We don’t mean anything else. We’re not here for Old Master Zhai. His blood sacrifices that year were in exchange for today’s peace. We respect him a lot. However, we are innocent. Someone’s ruthless enough to swallow our hard-earned money. We had to come. We can’t let these wicked people ruin the old chief’s reputation. We were forced by the old chief’s granddaughter-in-law to come here today. There’s such a person in the old chief’s family who ruined the Zhai family’s reputation.”

Among the Lin family members, there were one or two who still had the ‘brains’ to splash the dirty water on Qiao Nan first to prove their innocence and helplessness.

The person who was addressed as ‘sir’ hesitated for a while. Then, he said firmly, “The matters of the deceased are the most important. The old chief and Elder Lin have passed away. Nothing’s more important than their funeral. If there’s anything, wait until the funeral is over. If the truth is as what you have said, fine, I’ll help you settle it. On the contrary, if you dare lie to me, I’m not someone who’s good to mess around with as well!”
