08 Cross the river and demolish the bridge

Keer frowned, "Have you ever cheated on Feng Shui master?"

"It's not a cheating him, it's...oh... this..." Xu Wenzhou lowered his head in shame, "That thing... is a misunderstanding..."

Feng Rong was stunned and quickly asked Xu Wenzhou, "Husband, who is it?"

Xu Wenzhou sighed and covered his face in pain, "Retribution! It's really retribution! Grandpa insisted on playing that little cleverness, and now he hurt Wanning..."

"Mr. Xu, what's going on?" Jiang Rou couldn't help asking.

"This matter has been going on for twenty years," Xu Wenzhou said ashamedly, "That year, our Xu family was very unsuccessful. In half a year, my second grandfather, third grandfather, my uncle, second uncle, seventh uncle, eighth uncle and two aunts died one after another. Eight people died in half a year, and the Xu family's business was severely damaged. This incident alarmed the entire Jinling City."

"I know this," Jiang Rou said to us, "Listen to my grandfather, the Xu family was full of talents and the family business was prosperous. But I don't know why that year, in less than half a year, eight important figures of the Xu family died one after another, and the Xu family's career was greatly impacted."

I nodded and asked Xu Wenzhou, "What's next?"

"At that time, people died every month, and my grandfather was almost crazy," Xu Wenzhou said, "Later, on the day my aunt's funeral, an old man in his sixties came outside my house and said he wanted to see my grandfather. My grandfather's heart was dissipated at that time, so he asked someone to send him away. When the old man saw that my grandfather didn't see him, he asked me to bring a message to my grandfather, saying that my ancestral tomb had been put into storage. If it was not cracked, the Xu family would be destroyed."

He looked at me and continued, "My grandfather has a Feng Shui master named Zhou who has been using it for many years. After an accident in my family began, Mr. Zhou went to see my family's ancestral tomb and found no problems. My grandfather heard that the old man said that there was a property in the ancestral tomb, so he asked him to come into the house and asked what was going on. The old man said that my ancestral tomb had been buried in a very sinister way. It was impossible for ordinary people to see it, and it was extremely difficult to crack. He said that if my grandfather agreed to divide the property of the Xu family by half, he would go to my ancestral tomb and destroy the property in the Xu family, so that there would be no more accidents in the Xu family."

"What then?" Ke'er asked.

"My grandfather agreed," he said, "He promised the old man that as long as there was no more accidents in the Xu family, he would share half of the Xu family's property to him. After that, that night, after finishing my sister-in-law's funeral, my grandfather and the old man went to the ancestral grave with the old man. After that, the old man took out an axe, cut off three trees around the ancestral grave, and then told my grandfather that the nightmare broke and the Xu family would not have any more accidents."

"My grandfather thinks this matter is too simple, and he is unsure and can't believe the old man." He looked at us, "The old man saw my grandfather's thoughts and said that's what he said. I'll come again in half a year. During this period, if the Xu family has lost its population, it means I'm not doing it well, and you can deal with it at that time; if the Xu family is safe and sound, let's do it as agreed. My grandfather thought about it and agreed."

"Is something wrong later?" Ke'er asked.

"Nothing happened," he said, "Our family was worried and waited for half a year, nothing happened, and my business began to recover."

"That's what it works," Keer frowned, "Then why is your grandfather still cheating others?"

Xu Wenzhou smiled bitterly, "Because...because of that Mr. Zhou..."

"Mr. Zhou?" Jiang Rou couldn't help asking, "His he provoked it?"

"Mr. Zhou told my grandfather that the old man's behavior of cutting trees was a bit suspicious," Xu Wenzhou said, "He said that the Xu family's feng shui is fine, and the three trees have been planted for many years and there has been no problem before. He suspected that the old man had done the trick, and then the thief called to catch the thief in order to come to Xu's family's property. My grandfather has also regretted it since the incident and did not want to give half of the property to the old man for free. After hearing what Mr. Zhou said, he took this opportunity to push the matter to the old man, because this fact was too strange and no one could tell who did it..."

Ke'er looked at him disdainfully, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I kept silent, picked up the tea and continued to drink.

The living room was silent for a moment, and it was so quiet that it was scary.

Seeing that we didn't say anything, Feng Rong quickly expressed her opinion, "Young master, Miss Keer, this is indeed something that our grandfather did wrong, but don't worry, we couple are definitely not like this!"

Ke'er didn't say anything and turned to look at me.

I put down the tea and looked at Xu Wenzhou, "What happened later? What did your grandpa do to the old man?"

Xu Wenzhou was sweating profusely and was ashamed, "Later... the old man came and asked my grandfather to fulfill his promise. My grandfather scolded him, saying that he was going to the nightmare to harm our family, and that he would not pursue him, and he would have the face to ask for the property? The old man was very angry, and he started arguing with my grandfather in my living room. He pointed at my grandfather's nose and scolded me, saying that he was untrustworthy, believed in slander, was ungrateful, and broke up bridges across the river. My grandfather was so angry that he asked my bodyguards to bombard him out. The bodyguards beat him out with a punch and kicked the old man out of our house..."

"Awesome!" Ke'er joked, "Your grandpa is such a great man!"

"What happened later?" I asked.

"The old man left later," he raised his head, "never appeared again since then."

I didn't say anything and nodded silently.

He was silent for a moment and asked me, "Young Master, is this old man who harmed my daughter?"

I glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Young Master, what our grandfather did back then was wrong, but my daughter was innocent," Feng Rong said with tears in her eyes, "Twenty years have passed, and he is over 80 years old, why do you still do this?"

"He wants to take revenge..." Xu Wenzhou closed his eyes in pain, "Grandpa owes someone else's debt, and someone else's debt collection is coming..."

"He did not do this," I said lightly, "The person who gave Miss Xu a nightmare is his grandson."

"His grandson?" the two were stunned.

"Yes," I nodded, "Your grandfather is very lucky and offended a gentleman. If the old man wanted to take revenge, your family would have been wiped out long ago. Now that the old man is gone, his grandson can't swallow this and avenge his grandfather."

"This..." the couple looked at each other and asked me in unison, "What should I do?"

I looked at Xu Wanning, "This is a debt owed by your family. You have no choice but to pay it back..."

Xu Wenzhou and his wife were stunned.
