Chapter Eleven: Yang Fan pays respects to Yang Xiwen and dec

quat of mine is better than theirs, so it's worth the price."Yang Fan sat calmly on a small stool, "Grandpa Li, you go busy yourself. I can sell the loquats."Grandpa Li thought to himself, "At this pr...Grandma Xu didn't take Yang Fan's fortune-telling to heart. She decided to stay in the village and not go back to the city to work. She took Yang Fan to see her uncle and told him about her family's land situation.

Yang Xiuwen's tomb is located on the hillside of the mountain behind his family home.

Walking up the winding path behind Yang's house, Granny Xu and Yang Fan each held a knife in their hands, clearing the weeds along the way.

The weeds growing in the wasteland were almost as tall as a person, and they grew thick. There were snakes, rats, bugs, and ants inside.

Yang Fan walked in front, while Grandma Xu followed behind, reminding her, "Yang Fan, slow down and watch out for snakes."

"Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer villages, and these lands are left uncultivated. The snakes in the mountains have also increased. Be careful as you walk ahead. Last time, your grandpa Yang was bitten by a snake."

Grandma Xu said she was still worried, "We should switch places. I'll go ahead. You haven't been back here for many years, you're not familiar with the roads, and I'm afraid you might get lost."

The path was narrow enough for only one person to walk, but Yang Fan didn't make way.

The village is full of life, even ghosts remember the food grown in the village and naturally attract many other animals to come into the village.

"I'm watching you, Grandma Xu, don't worry, take your time."

She drew rapidly in the air with one hand, forming an exorcism talisman. With a gentle flick of her wrist, the golden talisman dispersed, and a rustling sound suddenly arose from the quiet patch of weeds.

At this moment, a gust of wind swept across the mountain, rustling the surrounding trees. Grandma Xu didn't hear any movement from the grass within.

"You still follow behind me. You've been gone for so long, you wouldn't know the situation here. What if you get bitten by a snake"

She was very insistent on switching with Yang Fan, she wanted to be at the front.

This time, Yang Fan did not refuse. She turned sideways to let Grandma Xu walk in front of her.

"When you walk behind, also be careful, those snakes are very cunning, who knows where they will come out from."

"Okay, Grandma Xu."

She walked behind, supporting Old Mrs. Xu with one hand in the air. There were visible ripples and undulations in the air around her palm.

Soon, Grandma Xu brought her to Yang Xiwen's grave. There was a lot of weeds growing around it, but the weeds around Yang Xiwen's grave were not very high.

Grandma Xu bent down and pulled up the weeds around the grave, "Your uncle was very kind to all of us old folks when he was alive. Several of us older folks come here to clean up the weeds around his grave whenever we have free time."

All the young people in the village went to the city, leaving only Yang Xiwen as the young man in the village. He was a kind-hearted person, and whenever the elderly villagers had something they couldn't handle, they loved to ask him for help.

Yang Fan bent down and joined the weeding, her speed fast and her movements neat. In a short while, she had cleared all the weeds around the grave.

Facing Yang Xiwen's tombstone, her expression was solemn, and even the howling wind around her seemed to slow down.

... kowtowing with their head on the ground.

Though she had no intention, she occupied someone else's body. She should do what she ought to for this body.

Grandma Xu looked at her thin back and quietly wiped away tears from the corner of her eyes.

After the bowing and ritual greetings, Yang Fan lit the incense and candles he had brought, burned some paper money, and finally placed a mobile phone into the bonfire.

That phone was bought by the original owner last year and sent back. Yang Xiwen hadn't been willing to use it yet when he suddenly passed away.

Grandma Xu saw that she had burned a real mobile phone, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. "Silly child, now that the phone is burnt, your uncle won't be able to use it. Just buy a paper phone and burn it for your uncle."

"My uncle will definitely be able to use this," Yang Fan said confidently.

If the courier is fast enough, I might be able to pick it up this evening.

Grandma Xu was speechless and didn't know what to say, so she simply closed her mouth and said nothing more.

When all the paper money had been burned completely, making sure there wasn't even a single spark, the two people went down the mountain together.

From the halfway point, you can overlook the entire Shangyuan Village. The view of Shangyuan Village from this angle is even more beautiful.

On their way down the mountain, they encountered Li Wenlin, the village head who lived there.

"Wenlin, why did you come up the mountain" Grandma Xu asked.

Li Wenlin pointed at Yang Fan, who was leaning against the back wall, and said to his aunt: "Aunt, I'm here to find Yang Fan."

Li Wenlin's father and Li YeYe are cousins.

Yang Fan poked his head out and asked, "Uncle Li, what's the matter"

Li Wenlin said, "I want to tell you about your family's land."

"We walked and talked."

Sun Xiuwen had some land and mountains besides a house in the village.

At the back of the room there are two plots of land, and also some land on this mountain behind the house, as well as this whole forest belongs to the Yang family.

Li Wenlin pointed at Yang Fan, indicating all the land. After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger toward the white expanse of Dapeng in front of the house and the large open space beside it.

"The fields across there are all rented by your uncle. He's planted some strawberries and watermelon, and a few grapes there."

He pointed again around them and further out, finally towards the mountains they had walked past. "And the land on those mountains and this land are all rented by your uncle," he said. "He's planted fruit trees everywhere."

Yang Fan followed the direction of his finger and looked at it one by one, thinking that the life of a rich second generation was still promising. So many trees bore so many fruits, which could earn a lot of money.

As they were speaking, the three people had already walked to the foot of the mountain.

"I came to find you because there are a couple of things I need you to do. Firstly, I want you to go to the village and get all the paperwork for changing ownership of your land sorted out," Li Wenlin stated his purpose for the visit, "Secondly, I'm here to ask you about these lands you have. They'll be due for renewal in a month. Are you planning to continue renting them from your uncle"

Yang Fan: ...seems like I'm getting excited too early again.

She tentatively asked, "Uncle Li, how much is the rent for these lands"

"It's not very expensive. The rent for all of these plots combined is 50,000 yuan a year."

Sun Xiwen rented all the hillside land in the village. The hillside land is far and requires climbing, and most of the villagers are elderly. They all rented their hillside land to him.

In addition, several plots of land on the flat ground were rented to him by those families who no longer lived in the village.

"Why are you still renting Those fruits aren't tasty at all, nobody buys them."

Grandma Xu blurted out, “If you can’t make a profit and are even losing money, why bother doing business at all”

Li Wenlin nodded, he thought so too. Recently, the crops in the village had been strange. Whatever they grew tasted like chewing wax.

For this, he even invited soil experts and agricultural experts to the village. They all said that the soil in the fields was fine, the planting methods were fine, and the seeds were fine.

But the things they grew just wouldn't taste good, and they couldn't figure out why.

Before Yang Xiwen passed away, he advised him not to spend money on these lands, as they yielded no profit, and he had to pay extra money into them every year.

But the other party insisted, saying that since they had planted so many fruits, someone would surely eat them.

Who's eating

Those fruits are so bad, even the pigs won't eat them!

Now only Yang Family and little girl Yang Fan are left. Li Wenlin thought that it certainly couldn't let people waste money like this.ter a while, the gold glow on the talisman disappeared.It was only then that Wang Dequan realized it was this talisman that had saved them.The elevator suddenly dropped from the third floor, and he an...
