Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 392. Shock: Not a single blade of grass grows on the grave.
Actually, this deputy director thought too much. With a big enemy in front of him, how could Liu Shouren have time to care about this small fry?
Watching his impulsive second brother, it was more prudent to ensure he didn’t act recklessly on the spot, hurting both himself and the scum at the same time!
Although he had already decided to disrupt Dai Zha’s worthless investment, ensuring there’s no way he could flaunt himself again.
But on the surface, Liu Shouren wasn’t planning to bear the blame of sabotaging the investment project.
Dai Weiguo would have to leave the Liu family’s village and even Black Province in disgrace, ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong!
However, Liu Shouren didn’t want to deal with him, and Dai Weiguo couldn’t resist speaking up, directly pinning the accusation of inciting villagers to slander him on him: "Captain Liu, I know you resent me for my failed marriage with Shuzhen and my previous attempt to reclaim Xiao En.
But Xiao En is the only heir of the Dai family, and I will never allow him to wander astray.
No matter how difficult and hard this road may be, nothing will stop me from reclaiming my son.
Captain Liu, Director Liu, you two are fathers too, so I suppose you understand my feelings.
For all that happened in the past, I have no face to ask for your forgiveness or support.
But you should also conduct yourselves with moderation, and stop arranging for innocent villagers to make indirect accusations or instruct inspection personnel to deliberately delay and trouble me.
You must know, slander is also a crime.
Don’t force me to abandon my last bit of goodwill and take you to court!"
"Knowing your actions are shameful yet continuing them, tsk tsk, poor me with a high school diploma, I can’t even find a suitable word to describe your thick skin!" Shouyi clicked his tongue repeatedly, looking utterly stunned.
This amused the crowd, and some even offered descriptions like "unparalleled thick, thicker than a fortress wall corner, unpierceable with a cobbler’s awl, so thick it could circle the Earth three times without wearing out."
This enraged Dai Weiguo so much that he gnashed his teeth, casting a hateful look at Liu Shouren, seemingly saying, "Are you going to manage this or leave it to the court?"
Although he only had a high school diploma, Captain Liu was always positive and diligent, paying great attention to learning.
He was not an ignorant legal layman, easily scared and unable to find his way.
Trying to bluff him?
Dai Weiguo should practice more!
He smiled quietly in his heart but emphasized very seriously on his face: "Although I have some old grievances and indeed despise President Dai’s character, Mr. Liu, being a state cadre of some sort, always considers the country’s and the people’s interests.
I won’t bear the blame for deliberately sabotaging and trying to wreck the investment project.
If there’s solid evidence, President Dai, you’re welcome to report me to the police.
If not, it’s better not to make baseless claims.
If you worsen my already not so good mood, and I don’t consider the bigger picture and turn around to sue you, it wouldn’t be nice.
After all, whether there’s slander against you is hard to say, but you’ve just framed and incited others to slander, abusing your position to trouble this and that.
But the genuine words are right here, everyone heard them clearly!"
This statement received many responses.
Except for the bodyguards Dai Weiguo brought, everyone else stood absolutely in favor of Liu Shouren.
They weren’t fools like the deputy director; no one would trouble Liu Shouren, the real local authority, for a dragon whose landing they couldn’t be sure of.
Dai Weiguo, exasperated, grudgingly boarded the finally completed inspection car.
Just intending to rush off to the mausoleum to pay respects, then leave. Any more sight of the mocking and disdainful faces of the Liu brothers, and he couldn’t control his rising fury.
Yet, the Liu brothers, accustomed to adding fuel to the fire, wouldn’t just stop!
Although they had personal grudges, for the sake of hometown development, they had to endure. Performing their duty, they showcased the ultimate ’bearing humiliation for the greater good’ to avoid their disruption of the city’s investment plan.
Under the guise of accompanying, they drove and followed Dai Weiguo’s five Crown S130 cars.
A crowd of old and young ’extras’ even contemplated going along to watch the show.
But they were stopped by their captain’s gesture and dispersed reluctantly.
Late in the lunar eighth month, after the Cold Dew period.
In the North, around this time, leaves were gradually falling, and plants like wormwood were seeding and yellowing, about to wither.
Because of this, Dai Weiguo brought quite a few iron shovels and sickles.
Afraid that careless sparks could fall into the half-wet, half-dry bushes and cause a forest fire.
But upon arriving at the destination: wow, there wasn’t half a grass spike in sight.
Even the over ten massive old fir and pine trees, each several decades old, were all gone. Now only a few uneven, decaying tree stumps indicated their previous existence.
An empty several hundred square meters, bare except for about a dozen tombs and some decayed stumps.
Compared to neighboring graves or wastelands filled with tree shadows and wormwood, it appeared like two different worlds, making their family graveyard look increasingly lifeless and desolate.
This...
Dai Weiguo was dumbfounded, never expecting to see such a scene.
Afraid that this guy would blame the three siblings again, making the sins of the Dai family look like petty revenge from the siblings.
Before he could voice his shock, Liu Shouren was the first to speak: "President Dai, surprised? I am too, to be honest. I’ve even taken soil from this land specifically for agricultural testing, and the soil quality is perfectly fine. Yet, mysteriously, nothing grows on this plot.
Since the day your mother was buried, all vegetation wilted instantly, and not a single blade of grass has grown here since!"
Everyone said it was due to the Dai family’s ancestral sins, lacking virtue.
If not, why did three sons and one daughter only yield six daughters combined?
And the only good child, Lian En, surnamed Lian, was disinterested in the massive wealth presented by his vile father.
Karma, indeed!
It must be because the heavens have opened their eyes!
Didn’t you see among the three Dai brothers, two were widowers, only Dai Weijia, a bit cleverer, had three daughters and lived a smooth family life?
Clearly, morality pays off.
As the poem goes: good and evil are repaid, divine justice is cyclical. Who can escape heaven’s retribution?
Of course, Dai Weiguo didn’t believe in such superstitions for a bit.
He was convinced it was man-made, and to undermine his reputation by spreading tales of his family’s lack of virtue and sins, he boldly invited several experts to verify the barren gravesite was intentional.
Hoping to turn the tide and break the decade-long Dai family’s notoriety.
Yet the results starkly demonstrated what it means when reality diverges from one’s wishes.
