Chapter 343: A Heart-breaking Feng Shui Land
Wenxiu and Su Haoxuan placed the dishes on the dining table, and Su Xuemei helped Grandma Su sit at the table.
Su Xuemei took a look at the dishes on the plate on the table and her mouth was watering, not to mention smelling the fragrant aroma of the dishes.
She had great respect for Wenxiu in her heart, and only then did she notice Wenxiu.
Wenxiu is only a few years older than her, and is already a well-known female entrepreneur in Lancheng, and she is also a good cook.
As a woman, she both admires and envied Wenxiu.
Su Haoxuan put a piece of tenderloin into his cousin's bowl and said, "Try it. This is also my favorite."
Su Xuemei looked at her cousin and smiled, then picked up the tenderloin and took a bite, savoring it carefully.
She suddenly looked at Wenxiu happily: "Sister-in-law, I have never eaten such delicious food, the meat is tender and fragrant. You have been a chef. Which famous chef did you learn from?"
Ye Wenxiu smiled and shook her head: "I never learned from anyone. My family was poor and I worked on the stove since I was a child. I learned it by myself."
Su Xuemei stared at Grandma Su with wide eyes. Grandma Su curled her lips and looked at Wenxiu with disdain.
Looking at Su Haoxuan again, he smiled lightly and nodded.
Su Xuemei was completely convinced by Ye Wenxiu, and her words were no longer as arrogant and confident as before.
After dinner, no matter how Grandma Su tried to stop her, Su Xuemei took the initiative to help clean the table.
During the after-dinner chat, Su Xuemei learned from Grandma Su that Wenxiu dropped out of high school in her second year and was actually just a junior high school graduate.
She didn't expect Wenxiu to be so courageous, and after listening to Grandma Su's words, she began to see everything as simple.
Wenxiu relied on her cousin to get to her position, and everything she has now was given by him, which made people look down on her again.
Time passed quickly, and at the end of this month, Wenxiu received news from Nangou Village.
The ancestral hall built for Gu Lingxiang was completely completed, and she was asked to go over and inspect it.
One morning, Wenxiu made an appointment with Xiaocui to go to Nangou Village together.
If Su Haoxuan knew about it, he would also go with them.
At this time, Grandma Su overheard the housekeeper Uncle Wang and Aunt Yun whispering about this matter.
She pretended not to hear and went back to her room.
She had known about this for a long time, but she didn't expect the ancestral hall to be built so quickly, and Wenxiu and Haoxuan would go to Nangou Village soon.
Grandma Su hasn't been to that place for many years. There were once happy and sad past events there that she buried in her heart.
Now, her man is buried there recently. It has been many years since she last visited his grave and chatted with him.
When Grandma Su thought of these things, she felt suffocated and walked around the house in circles with her crutches.
She finally plucked up the courage, walked out of the room, and saw Wenxiu and Su Haoxuan walking out of the living room.
Suddenly, he became anxious and waved his hand to call his grandson: "Xuanxuan, I heard that you are going there, take me with you."
"Grandma, you are old and your legs and feet are not convenient. I can just take some videos and bring them back, so you don't have to run away." Su Haoxuan turned his head and looked at his grandma.
Without waiting for Grandma Su to retort, Wenxiu turned around, walked over with a smile, and took Grandma Su's arm.
"Grandma, if you really want to go, I will help you go." Wenxiu said with a smile.
"I can still walk by myself. I don't need you to help me." Grandma Su frowned and swung her arm violently.
Wenxiu pouted and had to let go of her hand: "In that case, I'll go first."
Wenxiu's kindness was not rewarded, and she was filled with resentment. She turned around and left without caring about Su Haoxuan's mood, attitude, and feelings.
Grandma Su hurried over and grabbed Haoxuan's arm: "Xuanxuan, you walk faster, help grandma go."
Su Haoxuan rolled his eyes at his grandmother in annoyance: "Grandma, this time the protagonist is Wenxiu. If she gets upset, I might not be able to go. See how fierce you are!"
Grandma Su whispered, "She is actually quite capable, just like my grandma back then, but I just can't accept her."
Wenxiu didn't walk very fast. She was just feeling unhappy for a moment, so she looked unhappy.
After hearing what Grandma Su said, she finally found psychological comfort and couldn't help but smile silently.
……
Two cars drove along the winding mountain road and stopped along the side of the road at the so-called "Five Dragons Holding the Saint" place.
Xiaolan's family, Xiaocui and Su Haoxuan helped Grandma Su get out of the car.
Wenxiu pushed open the door of the cab, got out of the car carrying fruits for the offering and some incense, candles and paper money, then turned and looked down the mountain.
The Nanshan Town in the distance is in full view, and the nearby villages, gullies and ridges are clearly visible.
In her opinion, this was her second time coming here. The first time was in her dream with Gu Lingxiang.
Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief - this place was indeed a Feng Shui treasure land in the eyes of Feng Shui masters.
As soon as Grandma Su got off the car, she saw the newly built ancestral hall. Although it was not big, it looked majestic and lofty.
Looking around, this place has completely changed and the scene of the past is no longer there.
Many graves were leveled artificially, leaving only a few mounds covered with weeds.
Grandma Su couldn't tell the direction for a moment, and asked blankly: "This place has completely changed. Your grandfather's grave is probably in that direction. Do you know?"
Su Haoxuan nodded: "Every year on Qingming Festival, October 1st, I come here in person to pay tribute."
Grandma Su was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said, "It was your parents' idea. They asked you to come. Alas! I have been busy all these years even though I am old, and I forgot about this important matter."
As Grandma Su spoke, she looked at Ye Wenxiu again. No matter how dissatisfied she was with her, she still looked up to her when she saw how respectful she was to someone she had only met in her dreams. Her gaze towards her became much softer.
Wenxiu led everyone into the ancestral hall, and the real statue of Gu Lingxiang smiled at the people who came in.
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, walked over timidly, lit three incense sticks, inserted them in the incense burner, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and bowed three times.
When she stood up her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Wenxiu walked over and bowed three times in the same way.
She walked over to Xiao Cui and patted her shoulder gently.
Xiao Cui kept looking at the statue and said, "It's so similar. It looks exactly like the real person back then."
Tears silently flowed from my eyes and flowed down my cheeks.
"Sister Lingxiang is resting peacefully here. We will come to see her often. Don't be sad. She is watching us. If you cry, she will be sad too..." Wenxiu's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and she began to sob.
She calmed herself down and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
Grandma Su stood at the door and gently pulled Haoxuan's arm: "Xuanxuan, take grandma to sit in front of your grandfather's grave for a while."
Su Haoxuan nodded in understanding and helped his grandmother out of the ancestral hall.
They walked towards a grave not far away.
There were almost no weeds on the grave, and it looked like it had been cleaned not long ago.
A huge bluestone tombstone stands in front of the grave, and two cypress trees as thick as bowls are planted symmetrically behind the grave.
Grandma Su threw away the crutch in her hand, and Su Haoxuan didn't hold her back. She sat down in front of the tombstone, stroking it with her hands, and burst into tears.
Oh my...you left too early, stay..."
……
A stream of tears mixed with snot fell, wetting her clothes on her chest.
