220: Chapter 211 Chapter 208: Crematorium 220: Chapter 211 Chapter 208: Crematorium “Fucking hell, what do you guys have?!” Feng Zhi Xiao imdiately got angry.
The man with the crooked nose glanced at Feng Zhi Xiao and said, “What do we have?
We have cremation furnaces, urns, national ceteries, and private ceteries.
What do you want?”
“Fuck, you got guts!” Feng Zhi Xiao gritted his teeth, threw over 140,000, and angrily said, “How can ordinary people afford such a price?”
“Can’t pay?
Sorry, then we won’t cremate.
We’ll just store the body in the freezer, two hundred a day for freezer storage!” The man with the crooked nose snorted coldly and said, “Here is your receipt, please keep it safely!”
“Do you guys just keep providing the storage to people like that, without fear that they won’t pay you?” Feng Zhi Xiao curiously asked.
“No, it won’t happen.
Death is a grave matter.
It’s everyone’s last journey, and many people choose to bear the burden despite the cost.
It’s only 140,000, easily settled with a sigh!” The man with the crooked nose grinned, saying, “Besides, in the whole Jianghuai City, there are only three crematoriums, the prices are the sa at each one, and people usually don’t want to trouble the deceased with all that fuss.”
“Damn it, this really is an era where it’s expensive to die!” Feng Zhi Xiao helplessly shook his head, picked up the receipt, and then left the building.
Since the paynt was complete, the cremation was swiftly arranged.
You see, Feng Zhi Xiao did not even haggle; they provided the highest quality service.
The best makeup artist was hired for the mortuary makeup, and the clothes were of superior quality.
The gravesite was in the best location with the nicest environnt.
Ye Chen, Liu Momo, Feng Zhi Xiao, Li Wen, and Qianqian stood inside the cremation room.
The rest of the several hundred people watched from outside.
After the makeup was done and the cleanest, prettiest clothes were put on, Liu Momo broke down in tears again when the body was brought out.
She couldn’t help but throw herself at Mrs.
Liu, but Ye Chen held Liu Momo tightly, preventing her from rushing forward.
The worker pushed Mrs.
Liu into the cremation furnace and turned it on.
Soon a raging fire erupted from within the furnace.
There was a thudding sound inside.
Liu Momo was instantly shocked; she cried out, “No, Mom isn’t dead, she’s not dead!”
Ye Chen hastily asked, “What’s going on?
Why is there movent inside?”
The worker casually smiled and said, “That’s a ‘corpse jump.’ A person is dead, but their heart is not.
As soon as the fire burns, it’ll react and start to jump.
But it’s nothing to worry about!”
Had Ye Chen and the others not paid promptly and even purchased the premium service, the worker wouldn’t even have bothered explaining.
They cremate so many bodies every day and get asked so many tis that they’re sick of the questions.
Liu Momo then fainted, her body limp in Ye Chen’s arms, her eyes empty.
Ye Chen simply cradled her in his arms.
“Mrs.
Liu, may you rest in peace!” Li Wen and Qianqian, watching this scene, couldn’t help but start crying either.
There’s no greater tragedy in life than sothing like this.
“Mrs.
Liu, go peacefully.
In the next life, we still want to eat your barbecue!” Feng Zhi Xiao bowed towards the cremation furnace.
Soon, the cremation was completed, and the workers collected the ashes in an urn with relief carvings.
Handing it to Ye Chen, they asked, “Are you going to the cetery for the burial now?”
“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded.
After that, the worker imdiately led Ye Chen and the others to a large cetery behind the funeral ho, where countless gravestones dotted the land.
They arrived at a gravestone at the top of the hill, and the worker said, “The plots here are more expensive because the feng shui is better.
Being higher up, they offer a further view!”
Ye Chen didn’t say anything, as he didn’t believe in feng shui.
All he wanted was to find a place to bury Mrs.
Liu so that every Qingming Festival, there would be a place to pay tribute.
Liu Momo regained consciousness from her faint and began to cry again.
The worker pried open the grave space, placed the ashes inside, along with so of Mrs.
Liu’s personal belongings from her life.
After the space was sealed, the worker said, “The headstone will be engraved in a couple of days, don’t worry!”
Having said that, two workers walked away, chatting and laughing.
For them, life and death had beco transparent, dealing with the dead every day, so it had beco routine.
Liu Momo and Ye Chen stood in front of the grave while Feng Zhi Xiao procured bundles of incense and joss paper from the funeral ho.
Just these items cost over a thousand Big Ocean from the funeral ho, but, in death, peace is paramount, and it would be impolite to dwell too much on such matters.
They say money from the dead is easy to make, and that couldn’t be truer.
Just for Mrs.
Liu, the funeral ho made 150,000.
And who knows how many more like Mrs.
Liu were buried here?
Looking at the dense swath of gravestones, Ye Chen felt a sudden poignancy, “This is a cannibalistic society.”
“A salute to Mrs.
Liu!” Feng Zhi Xiao bellowed.
Everyone bent at the waist in unison, over two hundred people, creating an impressive sight.
In the cetery, so relatives looked on curiously, puzzled.
Just who had died that called for such attention?
They were familiar with the price of the plots here; the ones at the foot of the mountain were cheaper, and those at the top were expensive.
Could it be that the plot in front of these people cost at least 100,000?
Why else would it have such a good location?
“Mrs.
Liu, rest easy.
I’ll take good care of Momo for you, and then find her a good family to marry into!” Ye Chen stood in front of Mrs.
Liu’s grave, solemnly saying, “I promise no one will bully her, and no one will dare to!”
“Brother Chen…” Liu Momo sobbed beside him.
“Momo, rest assured, Brother Chen will make sure no one bullies you!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth.
“But you bullied !” Liu Momo bit back her words.
“Ah?” Ye Chen was taken aback and said, “Momo, don’t talk nonsense in front of Mrs.
Liu!”
“I’m not talking nonsense!” Liu Momo said with tears, “Now Momo has no mother, and even Brother Chen wants to abandon Momo!”
“How could that be!” Ye Chen hugged the pitiful Momo, his nose turning sour, and he nearly cried.
Clasping her tightly, he said, “How could Brother Chen ever abandon you?
I cherish you more than anything!”
“You just said you wanted to find soone else for to marry!” Liu Momo lifted her head, looked at Ye Chen seriously, and said, “But I only want to marry Brother Chen!”
Ye Chen was at a loss for words; he nodded gently and soothed her, “Okay, okay, you’ll only marry Brother Chen!”
“Really?” Liu Momo hastily stopped her tears.
“Mmh!
Why not?
Brother Chen has no power or influence, but to be able to marry soone as beautiful as Momo, I couldn’t be happier!” Ye Chen gave a chuckle.
Liu Momo imdiately nestled close to him, as Li Wen and Qianqian cast them envious glances.
They had stood in front of the grave for a long ti; Feng Zhixiao and the others had descended the mountain half an hour earlier.
With more than two hundred people, it was too ostentatious, and Ye Chen didn’t want to draw attention.
Afterward, Ye Chen led Liu Momo down the mountain, with Li Wen and Qianqian following.
Ye Chen drove Liu Momo and the others back to Jianghuai University.
“Brother Chen, you…
you mustn’t abandon Momo!” Liu Momo clung to Ye Chen’s hand.
“Don’t worry, I won’t!” Ye Chen smiled gently and said, “I’ll co to pick you up on Friday afternoon!”
“Okay!” Liu Momo nodded hastily.
Ye Chen left Jianghuai University and headed for the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s gambling den.
The gambling den was bustling with a large crowd of gamblers waiting outside as it opened for business in the afternoon.
In University City, a large number of professional gamblers had erged, so even specially coming from Hong Kong and Macau to participate in the gambling in Jianghuai City.
“Brother Chen, I think we need to expand the size of our gambling den!” Feng Zhixiao looked at Ye Chen.
“Then let’s expand it!” Ye Chen nodded.
A series of events had taken place recently, but they hadn’t brought him down; on the contrary, they had fueled his fighting spirit.
Ye Chen glanced at Feng Zhixiao and said, “Buy out the surrounding shops if you can.
If you can’t, find a way to do it anyway!”
“This…” Feng Zhixiao swallowed and said, “Brother Chen, the new year is only two months away.
It’s the end of the year now; these people definitely won’t agree to sell!”
“Are you brainless?
If normal thods don’t work, don’t you know how to use dirty tricks?” Ye Chen gave Feng Zhixiao a cold stare.
“Yes, yes!” Feng Zhixiao nodded hurriedly.
Soon, the Heavenly Reversal Gang issued acquisition notices to the surrounding shops.
The gambling den currently took up a third of an entire building, aning that if they acquired the other shops, its size could triple.
Wouldn’t the inco increase several tis over?
What Feng Zhixiao didn’t expect was that the shop owners who received the notices were outraged.
So of the braver ones went directly to Feng Zhixiao to argue.
“Feng, aren’t you ruining our livelihoods?” a shop owner confronted Feng Zhixiao.
“How am I ruining your livelihood?
I’m offering market price for your properties!” Feng Zhixiao raised an eyebrow, looked at the man, and said, “For that little shop of yours, offering you 1.2 million is already showing you respect.
Let tell you, if you don’t agree to sell in a few days, sorry, you won’t get a cent!”
Facing Feng Zhixiao’s threat, the other party beca even more furious.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Feng, that’s not fair.
Aren’t you playing the tricks of those gangsters?”
“Fuck, so up until today, you’ve never seen as soone from the underworld, huh?” Feng Zhixiao slamd the table and stood up, fuming, “Brothers, grab the tools, let’s show him the might of the Heavenly Reversal Gang!”
