Chapter 282: Chapter 274 Shameless Without Equal (Two in One Chapter)

Yu Xiu and Lu Tianci’s argument became more and more intense, until they saw someone passing by. With some remaining rationale, they temporarily stopped and returned home to continue their dispute behind closed doors.

Pei Qingyuan and his party actually arrived in the county yesterday, spending the night there.

Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan went ahead to Yushu Village to make arrangements, and also tidied up the long-unoccupied Lu Mansion. Everyone would stay in Yushu Village tonight.

So, by the time Pei Qingyuan and his party arrived today, everything was already in perfect order.

Shitou’s adoptive parents’ graves were right beside "Shitou’s" previous adoptive father’s grave in Yushu Village. After everyone had paid their respects, Pei Qingyuan let out a sigh and said somewhat sorrowfully,

"The true nature of what happened back then is now beyond our reach; even knowing it, what would change? The deceased have passed. After all, he brought Shaojie here alive, and despite the hardships, Shaojie survived and even got married, leaving descendants."

After a moment of silence, Pei Qingyuan continued, "People say ’leaves return to their roots.’ It seems that he was kind to Shaojie, to us. Now that we are taking Shaojie and his wife away, leaving him here alone in this foreign land seems too desolate. It’s better we send him back to his hometown..."

"Since we know where he came from and it is within our means, it shouldn’t be too difficult to send him back. Moreover, he did take care of Shaojie for a while, but..."

Zhang Min first nodded in agreement, but then her brows furrowed as she expressed her concern.

"It’s just that, now in Yushu Village, even if Shitou and the others can’t come back every year, they can ask someone to look after it to ensure there’s someone to pay respects at his grave. Once moved back to his hometown..."

"Grandma, let’s do as Grandpa suggested. Even if Xiaoyun and I can’t go there every year to pay respects, it won’t be too hard to visit every few years. After all, he was Father’s adoptive father, and surely his family back home still has relatives, nephews, who can look after it from time to time," Shitou said after exchanging a glance with Lu Yun, speaking softly to Zhang Min.

"Okay."

Zhang Min no longer said much. Her feelings for the person now lying in the grave were conflicted and complex.

As a mother, she had no great fondness for the person before her.

Even though he had been lying in the cold ground for many years, and even though the phrase ’the deceased are gone’ should be enough to turn the page on past events, she still couldn’t fully let go in her heart.

If only their family hadn’t harbored other intentions back then, and had simply stayed at home, perhaps they would still be alive now, and her Shaojie might have returned to them sooner.

But in that case, Shaojie wouldn’t have come to Yushu Village, wouldn’t have met his beloved girl, and Shitou might not have been born at all, let alone meet Yun Lu.

Without Shitou, who shared their blood, as a link, Lu Yun might possess the Elixir, spiritual power, and the Cultivation Method, but she probably wouldn’t have dared to reveal them easily for fear of "bearing a jade of grave consequence"...

In the end, everything might have turned out completely different...

The wonder of fate lies in the fact that, perhaps, even an insignificant common person’s unimportant thought or action could change the destinies of many people, perhaps even the trajectory of the world—

"However, our itinerary this time is very tight. We will stay in Yushu Village for one night and then head back tomorrow. I’m afraid neither we nor Shitou will be able to personally bring him back home for resettlement, and we will have to find time later to visit and pay respect," said Pei Qingyuan, glancing one last time at the three graves, and nodding to those who were already waiting, "Let’s start."

Watching those who had been standing by, now starting to dig into the grave with their shovels.

Fearing Zhang Min couldn’t bear the sight, Pei Qingyuan swallowed hard and looked at her with caution, "Perhaps we should..."

"No, I want to stay." Zhang Min’s tears flowed as she stubbornly watched the earth being shoveled away, scoop by scoop.

Pei Qingyuan was also in tears and could no longer speak. He held her hand tightly, already trying his best to shield her view with his body, but the moment the coffin was opened and the contents revealed... Zhang Min still almost collapsed from crying.
