Chapter 472: What to Do

Lull said tiredly, “Isn’t it the duty of children to take care of their parents in their old age?”
Lull’s husband’s voice was sarcastic. “Of course it’s what you should do, but you’re not the only child in your family. Buying a plot in the cemetery and being filial to your parents, why should you be the one paying the money and doing the work? Do you think this is normal and right? If your brother pays, he doesn’t even have to pay half. He can take out 50,000 yuan out of the 250,000 yuan. We’ll pay 200,000 yuan. I won’t say anything!’
Lull was speechless for a moment. She said slowly, “It’s not like you don’t know. My brother doesn’t have money…”
Lull’s husband mocked, “No money is an excuse? I can’t be bothered to talk to you. Anyway, my attitude is obvious!” With that, he hung up.
Gran asked, “What did my brother-in-law say?”
Lull said angrily, “What he means is that you and I should bear the cost of buying the cemetery. At least 50,000 yuan. Otherwise, he’ll divorce me when we get back! ”
Gran was speechless. He said unhappily, “Brother-in-law is too insensible, right? This is our family’s business. Why is he interfering?! You earned your money, not his. What has it got to do with him? Sister, if you ask me, so be it. Don’t spoil him!”
Lull didn’t say a word. Divorce? That was easy for him to say. She was very annoyed now. She could afford this money. After paying, she did her best to be filial and let her father leave comfortably, but in the end, he wanted a divorce… But if she didn’t pay, how was she going to explain to her father? Was she really Wrong? Was it really wrong to do this when she had money and the ability to support her father who was in the late stages of cancer?
Lull was very confused. At this moment, she suddenly remembered Amelia’s words: Auntie, there are times when people can be confused. But there are also times when you must be clear and not muddle-headed!
Lull instantly made a decision and said, “It’s fine if we decide on the cemetery today. 250,000 yuan. I’ll only pay 150,000 yuan. As the son, it’s not too much to pay 100,000 yuan, right?”
Gran was stunned. In the next second, he said, “Where can I get 100,000 yuan?
I don’t have money! Why do you listen to Brother-in-law for everything?! Isn’t our father more important than him?!”
Lull made up her mind and did not soften. “If you don’t have money, you can borrow it. If you really can’t, you can sell the house.” She had paid a down payment for Gran’s house. Now that the price of the house had risen, it was worth at least a million dollars.
Gran was even more excited. “That’s impossible! What right do you have to sell my house?! You clearly have money, but you still want me to sell my house. How can there be an elder sister like you?! Look at other people’s elder sisters. Just look at my classmate’s elder sister. She bought my classmate a house and a car. His elder sister was the one who paid for the wedding betrothal gifts and weddings. It’s fine if you don’t take the money, but you actually want me to sell my house…”
Lull remembered Amelia’s words and refused to let go. She insisted that Gran pay 100,000 yuan, or else the cemetery here would be uncertain. The siblings parted on bad terms and went home with sullen faces.
Downstairs, Lull, who was carrying vegetables, bumped into a little girl. The little girl was dressed in black and looked to be six years old. She kept looking at her.
Lull stopped in her tracks strangely and asked, “Little girl, do you know me?” As she approached, she realized that the little girl was holding a compass.
Moon’s expression was cold. It did not match her age. She shook her head lightly and said, “l don’t know you.”
Lull looked at her strangely, shook her head, and walked away. Just as she turned around, a yellow talisman flew out of Moon’s hand. The yellow talisman swooshed and stuck to Lull’s back. There was a dark glow, then it disappeared.
Moon watched silently as Lull entered the elevator. Then, she looked down at the compass in her hand. “An evil ghost…” She muttered to herself, “It’s mine.” It was just that the evil aura of the Ghost Festival was too strong. She was not strong enough. She could only wait a little longer. At least until after today. If not, she would have gone up with Lull just now. Moon pursed his lips and left with a cold expression.
Peace Cemetery.
The Waltons had strength in numbers. In just over an hour, they built a new family tomb. The main cemetery was still in the form of an ancient courtyard building according to tradition, but every ancestor’s tombstone was special. There were pink bows, red hearts, auspicious clouds, black dragons… It was fancy and unique..
