"If I had known earlier, I would have replaced him. It's really hard to stay in a place like that for six days alone."

"Do you think these 280,000 yuan are just for the grave repair money? Lin Sannu was worried about her son keeping vigil over Niu Lin's body . Tianbao has been blessed this time, but he will be liberated soon. The coffin will arrive today. Let's go to Niu Lin's grave after dinner ."

After breakfast, I became more cautious and ordered a meal for Luo Tianbao. Then I drove to the mourning shed . I saw Luo Tianbao sitting on the grass basking in the sun with disheveled hair and a dirty face. He looked no different from a beggar.

I couldn't laugh. If a person wasn't extremely tired, it would be impossible for him to end up like this. But Uncle Three and Uncle Seven didn't feel sorry for me at all. After getting off the car, they asked, "Has anyone from the Niu family been here?"

"No, I've been alone in this area these days, and it almost drove me crazy." Luo Tianbao complained.

Uncle Three didn't respond, Uncle Seven just laughed and patted his shoulder.

Seeing the breakfast I brought him, Luo Tianbao's eyes turned green. He gobbled it up in one gulp, then sucked his fingers and said, "I've been eating canned food every day these days. I really can't stand it anymore. Finally, I can have a fresh meal."

"Why don't you call me? Let me do it for you." I said.

"Hey, there's no such rule. I'm tired and don't want to do it. Don't you think you're tired too?"

"There are many jobs that are harder than this. At least this one can earn you a living. Some jobs don't even allow you to eat," said Uncle San.

"Is there anyone in our job who can't even make a living? Is it because the boss is too stingy?" I said.

"Even though there are a thousand drawbacks to this business, you don't have to worry about stingy employers. Even if they are truly stingy, they won't overpay us. At least the wages won't be less than a penny. I said I couldn't eat because the work is special. For example, when building a large tomb, all the craftsmen couldn't leave the underground palace until the work was completed. Sometimes they would go hungry, and even if they got sick, they couldn't go out to see a doctor. This is the rule of the earthwork industry."

Many things appear to be smooth sailing on the surface, but in fact, only you know the hardships and pain involved. Although I have never experienced the difficulties and hardships that my third uncle described, I can tell how difficult this job is just by looking at the fact that my second brother guarded the cemetery alone for six days.

The money has been divided. I got 28,000, Chu Sen got 5,000, and my second brother only got 2,000. Because in the entire earthwork industry, only Quanfu people have the lowest pay. Of course, some bosses will give Quanfu people a big red envelope, but this time my second brother can only get his salary.

In the afternoon, the car carrying the coffin arrived. When the back door of the car was opened and the coffin was lifted down, the shape was very strange. It was a coffin that was similar to the shape of a "7". I had never even heard of it before.

Chu Sen whispered beside me, "This coffin is tailor-made for Niu Lin so that he can lean against it."

Uncle Seven used an iron hammer to tamp down the mud wall, and Chu Sen went in to carry Niu Lin's body out and put it in the coffin. Although Uncle Three's method was very effective, Niu Lin's body still had corpse spots and a distinct odor. This time, Chu Sen withstood the "strict test of the organization" and successfully completed the task.

This coffin was indeed very suitable for burying a hunchback like Niu Lin, and the two were a perfect fit. However, a rather strange thing happened that day. We clearly remembered that after Niu Lin entered the coffin, he sat leaning against the backrest with his hands hanging naturally. However, when we left for a while to take the coffin lid to seal it, we found that Niu Lin's hands were supported on the wooden boards on both sides of the coffin wall. The posture was like a person sitting in an extremely relaxed manner with his hands resting on the side.

But when the body was placed in the coffin, his hands were clearly placed on both sides of his body, and no one moved the body. Why did his hands rise naturally?

I suddenly felt my hair stand on end, and Chu Sen’s face wasn’t looking good either, after all, he was just “close to each other” with Niu Lin.

Uncle San didn't say anything, but gestured for us to close the coffin. Then he lit three incense sticks in front of the coffin. After a prayer, he asked the coffin bearers to put Niu Lin's body into the grave. The hunchback who was still full of anger after his death finally rested in peace.

What I didn't expect was that I would meet Lin Lin shortly afterwards. The young man had come to see his father off despite his mother's words, but when Uncle San saw him, he asked, "Did you get it done?"

"Yes, five days ago."

Uncle San nodded and said, "Did it work?"

"I just got the news yesterday evening that my eldest brother's sentence has been reduced due to his outstanding performance in labor reform. There's been no news from my second brother yet."

Uncle San said, "No movement is the best news. Your second brother must be possessed by a demon, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a despicable thing. In his current condition, it's better for him to stay in prison than to be released."

"That's true. If that's the case, our family's bad luck may really be over." Lin Lin said happily.

"Actually, your family's situation isn't complicated at all. As long as Niu Lin's wish is fulfilled, all the troubles will be solved. But your mother is too stubborn and refuses to give in. That's why the situation has deteriorated to this point today."

"Yes, ever since I can remember, Mom has been yelling at Dad all day long. She really doesn't give him any face at all. Whether it's in front of the employees or us, whenever she wants to scold him, she'll point at Dad's nose and scold him. And when she scolds him, she'll bring up Dad's hunchback. He's disabled to begin with, so he's particularly sensitive to this. Sigh! Actually, deep down, I understand why Dad does this. He gets the respect and recognition he doesn't get at home from that woman, so Mom is actually responsible for this."

"I'm not qualified to comment on your family affairs, but as long as you can forgive Niu Lin from the bottom of your heart, it will also be beneficial to your future life."

"Why shouldn't I forgive her? My mom has saved three million in my name alone. Taking out half a million is enough to support three people, two of whom are my half-siblings. I understood this from the beginning, and I still understand it now."

Only then did I understand that in addition to conspiring with Lin Sannu to stage a play, my third uncle also staged a play with Lin Lin. He asked Lin Lin to secretly give Niu Lin's mistress a sum of money to settle the matter. In this way, both families can continue their future lives in peace. Why not do it?

In fact, sometimes the solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem is actually very simple. Just like in this case, since Ms. Lin San refused to give in, why not contact her son privately? Why didn't the four of us think of such a simple truth?

After paying homage to Niu Lin, he was finally able to be buried. This time he was not buried in the original "luxurious tomb". The third uncle told Lin Lin that his father had a red gold life, and he could not enjoy wealth no matter dead or alive. Therefore, if the family wanted to live in comfort in the future, the most important thing was to never hold a grand ceremony on his death anniversary. A simple worship was the best choice for him and the entire Niu family.

The Niu family's tomb has finally been repaired. As for whether it is useful or not, I can ask Lao Niu for information at any time. I have been busy in other places for many days and have lost all my own business. However, I don't want to call Li Zhao first, so I asked Chu Sen to call him to ask about the situation.

Chu Sen said, "We are all brothers. Let's just forget about it. There's no need to keep it in mind."

"That's what he said, but I don't know what he thinks. You should call him first, otherwise it will be awkward for everyone."

"Men and women are the same." Having said that, he still took out his cell phone and called Li Zhao.

"How's business been these past few days? Your brother Yu Zhen asked me to help him inquire about the company's operations." After asking this question, his expression suddenly became serious. After a few nods, he hung up the phone and said, "Old Yu, your company has been shut down."

"Ah! How, how is this possible?" I was shocked.

"It's absolutely true. Li Zhao was at the company on the day it was sealed. He was going to call you after the company was sealed, but your father told him not to tell you the news."

"Why?"

"Li Zhao didn't know either, but he didn't dare disobey your father, so he didn't call." I was so furious, but I didn't know who to direct my anger at.
