Chapter 960: Don’t Mess With the Rules
"What do you kids know?" Madam Chai put the teacup down. "The ancestral tombs have a set of rules
that were passed down by each family's ancestors. How can we break it just like that? Even if you were
to agree with that, would your ancestors think the same way? If you broke the rule and ruined the
tombs' feng shui, let's see if you would still agree to it."
"No, we can't mess with the rules that our ancestors had set," Mr Zhou said hurriedly. "I won't agree to
that either!"
"Dad!" Zhou Xiaoguang growled. "That's my sister and your daughter she was a member of our family.
Why can't we bury her in our ancestral tomb? It's not fair for her! She trusted us the most when she
was alive. We're her family!"
Tears welled in Zhou Xiaoxia's eyes. "Dad, have you ever thought about how disappointed Xiaocheng
would be if she heard what you said? Xiaocheng has always been dependent on us. Isn't it right to bury
her in our family's ancestral tomb? If you say that Xiaocheng is a daughter and can't be buried in our
ancestral grave, then why can't we bury her in the empty lot beside the tomb? If the dead have a soul,
then it's a good thing for our ancestors to accompany her in the underworld too! Then, when Xiaoguang
and I have our own families, we won't forget our sister either. Perhaps Xiao Chen and I can even have
one child in Xiaocheng's name. Won't that be enough?"
Jiang Yao felt that the conversation was ridiculous. She wanted to refute everything they said and tell
them that death was like a lamp that had been switched off. However, she was rendered speechless
when she was reminded of her rebirth.
She sighed. If someone were destined to go through reincarnation, she wished that Zhou Xiaocheng
would have that chance.
However, she knew that if Zhou Xiaocheng heard what her parents had said, she would be very
disappointed in them.
When Chen Xuyao heard what the Zhou family said, his face immediately turned cold. "When a person
dies, they die. Soul? A hundred years later? If a person could not find peace when they were alive, how
would they find it when they die? I have also heard that those who died unjustly would not be allowed
to reincarnate. They would always float around in the underworld. After a long time, they would become
part of the lonely souls and wild ghosts!" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"You don't understand." Mr Zhou wiped his tears and shook his head. "You have to believe this. It's a
rule that our ancestors have passed down."
"Young Master Chen, Young Madam Lu, the two of you don't understand our customs. It's just like feng
shui. You may not believe it, but you can't deny its existence." Madam Chai said, "In addition to
marrying Zhou Xiaocheng, I will also give you two houses in the urban area, each of which is no less
than 100 square meters. I will also give you one million in cash. In the future, if Zhou Xiaoxia and Zhou
Xiaoguang need our help with their studies or work, you can come to me at any time!"
After a pause, Madam Chai continued to say, "The Chai family will pay for Zhou Xiaocheng's funeral.
We will hold the biggest funeral for her, and we will use the best funeral goods and coffin for her."
Chen Xuyao could not take it anymore. He stood up and kicked the coffee table. "Stop with the
nonsense!"
His action created a loud bang; everyone jumped in shock. Then, a white ball rolled out from under the
table, accompanied by curses that only Jiang Yao could understand.
