Chapter 283: Chapter 274 Shameless Without Equal (Two in One Chapter)_2

The scene was so heart-wrenching that not only Zhang Min struggled to bear it, but Pei Qingyuan himself almost couldn’t withstand the immense sorrow, yet the tears coursing down his face did not stop him from standing straight.

Shitou and Lu Yun stood beside the two, one on each side, supporting Zhang Min, similarly unable to stop their tears.

Old Zhang, along with his assistant, donning masks and white gloves, crouched beside the opened coffin, carefully picking up samples with tweezers. Then the funeral home staff came forward...

By the time everything was over, and they had returned to Yushu Village with three urns of ashes from the funeral home, it had already grown dark.

In the Lu Family courtyard, someone who was close to the Lu Family and also an excellent cook had been asked to help prepare the meals early on.

But even though the dishes on the table, all vegetarian with local flavors and tasted good, everyone’s appetite was clearly not great. After a hasty meal, people went back to their rooms to wash up and rest early.

Tomorrow morning, they would visit several households who had helped Shitou and his father in the past. After lunch, they planned to head back to the city.

As for Shitou’s "aunt and uncle" from the Lu Tianci family, no one took the initiative to mention them. Everyone agreed unanimously, as if by understanding, to ignore them completely.

It wasn’t worth causing them trouble, much less "appreciating" them.

In Shitou’s words, the moment they took over his father’s inheritance without leaving him a way out, all debts of gratitude and grievances between the two families were erased.

During the day, the dispute between Yu Xiu and Lu Tianci was fruitless.

In the end, an infuriated Lu Tianci stormed out, determined to take matters into his own hands. He grabbed a bottle of liquor and took several swigs, preparing to make a scene by himself. But his plan was doomed to fail; he wasn’t even close to approaching Pei Qingyuan and his group when several fellow villagers forcibly took him away.

After Lu Aiguo returned, besides tidying up the house, the most important thing was to have people keep a close watch on Lu Tianci, Yu Xiu, and the Su Family’s people. As long as they didn’t make a move, that was fine, but even if they did, they would definitely not get close to Pei Qingyuan, Zhang Min, and the others.

In terms of influence in Yushu Village, Lu Aiguo considered himself second to none. It could be said that even his own father, Uncle Lu Er, and the current village chief and head of the production brigade came in second to him.

As Lu Tianci was being led away by several people, he saw Wu Tan among them. New hatred added to old grievances filled his heart, and, fueled by alcohol, he began shouting abuses, "Wu Tan, you bastard, why are you blocking me? Let go, let go, I want to find Shitou..."

Lu Tianci used to work well in Lu Aiguo’s factory, but because of his heavy drinking, he almost started a fire in the factory, which led Wu Tan to kick him out without any mercy. Even Shitou, after hearing about it, didn’t want anything to do with him.

Hmph, if it weren’t for Wu Tan, would he be in such a sorry state now? He would still be living comfortably, doing easy work every month, and earning a decent salary...

"Shitou and the others are busy with serious matters right now, so they have no time to see you. Plus, with you reeking of alcohol like this, what sort of impression would that give? Do we, the people of Yushu Village, have no dignity? How about this: if you have something to say, wait until tomorrow afternoon, after they’ve finished their work, and we will not stop you from going over. How about that?"

Wu Tan remained indifferent to Lu Tianci’s cursing, still managing to maintain a smile while talking to him.

"That won’t do..." Lu Tianci began to protest loudly.

"Think carefully, you don’t appreciate the face given to you, then I won’t be polite," Wu Tan still smiled, but his eyes began to narrow with a hint of a smile.

"What, what do you want to do?" Lu Tianci took a few steps back, suddenly feeling intimidated by this younger fellow villager whom he once looked down upon, who now seemed formidable.

Perhaps due to the change in status, Wu Tan, having been one of the first to follow Lu Aiguo and build his empire, already had a different position in Yushu Village. Unknown to many, even though he always smiled at everyone, when he got tough, he was decidedly ruthless.

Just like how he had said he would kick him out of the factory, and did just that—aside from not completely disowning him and still giving him a small subsidy every quarter, he completely ignored him after and never showed favoritism because he was Shitou’s "uncle."

"I don’t want to do anything, just that we need to settle the complete account. Remember when you almost burned down the factory? I still have the evidence for that. Do you want to visit the police station for negligence, or what?"
