Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 930 930: Strange Happenings!
"Fix the ancestral graves?"
Jiang Feng frowned even more.
The reason he asked this was to figure out why Mu Shuisheng still had that persistent dark aura around his forehead.
Although Mu Shuisheng's brain tumor had been treated, his brow still showed signs of darkness, indicating that the root cause hadn't been addressed.
Even if he helped him through this crisis, he would likely have trouble later on.
"Jiang Feng, that Wei Yongbo is from the largest family in our village, the Wei Family!"
Mu Yanluo explained, "Our village, under Pulan County, is quite large, with a population of several thousand, but the most domineering family is the Wei Family."
"In the past, Wei Yongbo's reputation in the village wasn't good; he was a local bully and thug, committing all sorts of evil acts. He also has a son named Wei Shuaizhong, who used to bully me and my brother when we were kids, even threatening to… to violate me back then…"
"Why would someone like that become the director?" Jiang Feng asked expressionlessly.
After all, even though a village director was a small official position, in the local area, it was equivalent to being the local authority, wielding significant power.
"I don't know either, but I heard that after my brother and I moved to Binhai, Wei Yongbo got into some trouble too. He disappeared for a while, for about ten years or so. When he returned to the village, he had completely changed, started to be nice to others, and reformed himself. The Wei Family's reputation improved, and they became wealthy thanks to their early accumulation…"
Jiang Feng found this even more incredible upon hearing this.
Can a dog really change its nature?
He suspected whether Mu Shuisheng's situation was related to the Wei Family.
"It's true that Wei Yongbo wasn't decent before,"
Mu Shuisheng added, "But he's much better now. He was elected as the village director just over a year ago, and during his tenure, significant changes occurred in the village. They happened to coincide with the new rural developments, turning the village into an urban area. Wei Yongbo had considerable capacity and connections with the government, becoming a developer, managing the village's construction single-handedly, building buildings, facilities, even extending bus routes…"
"Did his first action as village director involve fixing his family's ancestral graves?" Jiang Feng asked, seizing the key point.
"Not immediately, but indeed not long after."
Mu Shuisheng said, "The Wei Family's ancestral graves were originally on the best piece of land in the village, and a year ago Wei Yongbo took it upon himself to move them to the back mountain, which was public land. However, given the good deeds he had done for the villagers, no one complained."
"Did your bad luck start after that?"
"Yes! Shortly after the Wei Family moved their ancestral graves…"
Mu Shuisheng responded, then suddenly looked at Jiang Feng and asked, "Xiao Feng, why are you asking this? Could the Wei Family's moving of their ancestral graves be related to my illness?"
"No, don't worry." Jiang Feng reassured the elderly couple, maintaining composure.
"Oh? Xiao Feng, what you said makes me think! "
Ruan Xiuning suddenly remembered something and said, "All the misfortunes in our village began increasing after the Wei Family moved their ancestral graves."
"It's not just Xiao Luo's father; in the past year, many others in the village have had misfortunes! Take our neighbor for instance; a fine young man who had just been accepted into university was run over by a car and died tragically, completely crushed. And half a year ago, Chun Lai's house unexpectedly caught fire at night. If the window hadn't been left open that night, the family would have burned to death. And Shuizhu's house, a thief broke in while they were sleeping, stole everything, and even assaulted Shuizhu's wife before leaving…"
"Mom, are you sure all this is true?" Mu Yanluo asked in disbelief.
"Absolutely, why would I lie to you? I've long felt that our village has gotten strange." Ruan Xiuning said with certainty.
Jiang Feng listened, lost in thought.
Indeed, it wasn't just Mu Shuisheng's family experiencing problems; the entire village, house by house, was facing numerous incidents!
Are these really the work of the Wei Family?
Jiang Feng was not inclined to meddle, but this situation was too bizarre, piquing even his curiosity.
"Did Wei Yongbo ever tell you where he spent those ten years?" Jiang Feng asked Mu Shuisheng.
"No! He never mentioned it, and no one else could find out either."
Mu Shuisheng remained uneasy, "Xiao Feng, with your insight, have you discovered anything? Is my illness, and the many misfortunes in the village, really caused by the Wei Family moving their graves?"
The villagers were generally superstitious with low education levels, easily attributing unusual incidents to supernatural causes, particularly with Jiang Feng presenting sound inquiries.
"It's not that exaggerated, let's get discharged first." Jiang Feng deliberately changed the topic.
"Alright… Xiao Feng, since you're here, don't leave today. Come stay with us, let's have a good drink together!"
Mu Shuisheng gratefully got out of bed and said.
"Hmm."
If it went according to Jiang Feng's plan, after curing Mu Shuisheng, he would indeed have to leave immediately, even if it meant traveling overnight.
But this mysterious situation intrigued him, compelling him to visit the village to uncover what was bizarre.
"A one-night stay isn't enough, you two came all the way here; you can't leave so soon!"
Ruan Xiuning insisted, "You must stay a few more days; there are empty rooms and new bedding at home. I'll set it up for you tonight, as long as you don't mind the living conditions."
Mu Yanluo blushed crimson at this!
Her parents were indeed treating Jiang Feng as a son-in-law!
She secretly glanced at Jiang Feng again, her thoughts unspoken.
Later, Ruan Xiuning and Mu Yanluo proceeded with the discharge procedures.
Even the doctors were astonished that Mu Shuisheng's brain tumor had just gone away like that!
But before they could probe with their commotion, the two had already left.
Then, Jiang Feng joined the family of three, heading towards the enigmatic and mysterious enclave.
