Chapter 149: Clearing the Field
mething an ordinary person couldn't do.Just as he was about to ask Ye Bufan for help, the walkie-talkie in his hand crackled to life."Old Xue, some foreigners have come down. The one leading them is n...Seeing the current situation, Ouyang Lan quickly said: “Uncle by marriage, what are you doing We’re all relatives, there’s no need to make things like this.”
"Relatives, who among you is related to me" Kang Lei said, "You killed my wife and son, today there must be an explanation!"
"Ouyang Lan explained: "I'm very sad about Xiaohui and Xiaojun's passing, but this was completely an accident. How can we be blamed for their deaths..."
"Just shut up..." Kang Lei rudely interrupted her, saying, "My wife went to see you out of kindness, but she died in your house. You dare say you have no responsibility"
"At this time, Ouyang De stepped forward and said: 'Elder sister, Xiao Hui is your own younger sister. Now both her mother and son are dead, and you still shirk responsibility. Isn't that too heartless'"
Ouyang Lan said, "Xiao Hui has already left. Discussing responsibility is meaningless. Even if I am responsible!"
She has always been a kind person and thought that arguing with her relatives at this time, in this place, under everyone's gaze would be too embarrassing. So she didn't dwell on the topic any further.
"Finally admitting it" Kang Lei sneered. "Since you admit you are responsible for Xiao Hui and Xiao Jun's deaths, you must take responsibility for it."
Ouyang Lan said: "Don't worry, I will take care of their funeral expenses."
Kang Lei said, "Just bearing the funeral expenses There's no such cheap thing."
Ouyang Lan said in surprise, "What else do you want"
Kang Lei said: "You must meet two conditions today, first, you must make compensation for the death of Xiao Hui and Xiao Jun, 10 million each. "
Second, you and Ye Bufan must wear mourning clothes and send my son and wife off!
As soon as he uttered those words, a wave of astonishment rippled through the crowd. Ten million yuan per person That amounted to a staggering twenty million! Such compensation was exorbitantly high, no matter where you looked at it.
Ignoring the issue of money, Ou Yang Lan is Ou Yang Hui's older sister and Kang Zhi Jun's aunt. It's completely an insult to have these two people wear mourning clothes for her.
It has to be said that Kang Lei's two conditions are simply too much, no one would agree to them.
But faced with the current situation, everyone could only whisper to each other, secretly sympathizing with Ouyang Lan and her son in their hearts, yet no one dared to speak up.
Ouyang Lan looked astonished: "His brother-in-law, you've gone too far! I'm Xiaohui's older sister and Xiaojun's aunt. How could you have her dressed in mourning clothes"
Kang Lei said: "Today you have to agree, even if you don't agree. Not only will you put on mourning clothes for my wife and kneel down to send her off, but you also have to do the same for my son!"
Originally, the two elders were conversing, and Ye Bufan hadn't planned to interrupt. However, at this moment, he had been completely enraged.
But this is after all Ou Yang Hui's spirit hall, death is a serious matter, he doesn't want to make things too difficult, pulling Ou Yang Lan and said: "Mom, we don't participate in this kind of funeral, let's go back."
From last night's events to today, OuYang Lan had been deeply hurt by these relatives. She didn't speak, merely nodding silently as she followed Ye Bufan out of the funeral home.
"Want to leave, it's not that easy!"
Kang Lei waved his hand, and the people around him immediately surrounded them in the center.
Ye Bufan frowned and said to him, "Your wife and son are staying in our house and refusing to leave. They drove my mother away and took her clothes and jewelry."
Their deaths were entirely their own doing and have nothing to do with our family. They only have themselves to blame for being greedy.
"For the sake of this funeral hall, I won't hold it against you. Just clear the path!"
Ouyang De and others stood by with their shoulders shrugged, a playful smirk on their faces as they watched the scene unfold, showing no intention of stepping in to intervene.
Kang Lei said aggressively, “What big words! You dare say you won’t hold a grudge against me I want to see what qualifications you have to hold a grudge against me!”
"I'm telling you, you have to agree to my terms today, or none of you are going anywhere."
He was completely oblivious to what happened last night and still saw Ye Bufan as the penniless kid he could bully at will.
And today a lot of manpower was mobilized, aiming to force the mother and son to surrender. They were very confident in their ability to succeed.
Ye Bufan's expression turned cold, and he was about to take action against these people. However, at this moment, a sound of chaotic footsteps came from the entrance of the spirit hall.
"Get out of my way!"
After several roars, a group of men in black rushed into the mourning hall.
These men were dressed in black suits, tall and strong, with a menacing presence.
"They are from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce!"
Seeing them, the mourners in the funeral home all scattered to the sides, none daring to approach the members of the Five Lakes Merchant Guild.
Kang Lei was taken aback. He was just a small foreman, with no connection to the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce, and had no idea why these people were here.
At this time, Tang Jian strode in. He was also wearing a black suit.
Yesterday, Ye Bufan asked him to bring people to attend the funeral. To make a grander impression, he had his men wear matching black suits, which took some time.
Kang Lei was overjoyed. Looking at Tang Jian's appearance, he seemed to be here for the funeral. When had he ever been so honored
But now I can't even think about that much. If I could get on good terms with the head of the Wuhu Merchant Association, I would definitely be successful in Wufeng County. Everyone would look up to me wherever I went.
He quickly went up to him with a fawning expression and said, "Mr. Tang, I didn't expect you to come to my wife and daughter's funeral..."
He even reached out his hands to shake, but Tang Jian didn't even glance at him. He ran quickly to Ye Bufan's side and said in a low voice, "I'm late, please punish me, Master Ye!"
Now Kang Lei could hardly believe his eyes. How was Ye Bufan connected to the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce
And Tang Jian has always been high and mighty, looking down on the entire Wufeng County. How could he be so respectful to Ye Bufan, like a son to his father, addressing him as "Ye Ye" What's going on here
"This is a one-time occurrence, and it won't happen again." Since Ye Bufan didn't set a specific time limit for Tang Jian yesterday, he didn't say anything more. He turned to Ouyang Lan and said, "Mom, let's go!"
Ou Yang Lan said, "Son, wait a moment. No matter what, your aunt has passed away. I want to light incense for her!"
Ye Bufan nodded. No matter how excessive the people from the Ouyang family acted, his mother still couldn't forget the feeling of kinship with her fellow countrymen.
He waved to Tang Jian, “Clear this place out, my mother wants to burn incense!”
"Understood, Master Ye!"
Tang Jian agreed with a sound and immediately ordered his men to clear the spirit hall.
"".
Kang Lei originally wanted to say a few more words. This was his own family's ancestral hall, how could he be driven out
Whether it was the Kang family or those thugs he brought, none of them dared to oppose the Five Lakes Commercial Guild. Upon hearing Tang Jian's words, they didn't even need to be cleared out; they simply ran away on their own.
The people of the OuYang family ran the fastest, and they were already outside the spirit hall before anyone else could react.
Seeing Tang Jian's sharp gaze, he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and scurried out of the spirit hall.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune off of Ouyang Lan and her son, but now it seems my plan has backfired. No one expected that Tang Jian would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Ye Bufan accompanied his mother to light a stick of incense, and then walked out of the funeral home with Tang Jian.
Kang Lei and his men all watched from afar, and no one dared to step forward to stop him again.owers trembled. Obviously, they didn't take it to heart.With no other choice, he could only huff and puff his way forward.After walking for a while longer, the group climbed over a mountain and arrive...
