Chapter 8

Among the four, only Sun He was smoking, while the others did not partake. The man did not mind and cheerfully said: "Mr. Wang is indeed young; heroes emerge from the youth. My name is Ma Qiang, and I am also from this village. I have come here today to ask Mr. Wang for a favor regarding a matter."

Dad, are there guests at home

As soon as the four of them returned, Yan Pengchao noticed a car parked at the entrance, a BMW sedan. From the outside, he could also see a few people sitting in the living room, which is why he asked that question

Yan Pengchao's illness is indeed related to the malevolent influences, but he also has some underlying issues. Even after the removal of the two malevolent influences, he will still require treatment, unlike his father and younger brother, who immediately returned to normal once the malevolent influences were eliminated

The scenery in the mountains is indeed beautiful. The four of them played for nearly a whole day before returning. They had brought their own packed lunch to eat on the mountain, which is similar to what hiking enthusiasts enjoy when trekking off the beaten path, except that their off-road trail is right at their doorstep

Ma Qiang spoke slowly, which served to clarify his intentions. His father was currently in a coma in the hospital, and it was uncertain when he might pass away. He came to seek Wang Yang's assistance in finding a suitable burial site with good feng shui for his father.

In fact, as early as last year when his father was seriously ill, he sought out that old gentleman. Unfortunately, that old gentleman had already passed away seven years ago due to old age, and this matter had to be put to rest.

The old gentleman had previously given many reminders, among which were three prohibitions regarding business. The first was that one should not collaborate with individuals born in the Year of the Monkey, under any circumstances. The second was to avoid employing anyone from more than 300 miles away. The third was that regardless of the nature of the work, one should not engage in any activities after midnight.

Ma Qiang smiled faintly and said, "Therefore, I ask for Mr. Wang's understanding. Could you please show your skills once more? As long as I can witness with my own eyes that Mr. Wang is a person of true talent and learning, it will suffice. Once this matter is accomplished, there will surely be generous rewards!"

This is not impossible, but does Mr. Ma really trust me so much at such a young age

Wang Yang fell silent for a moment before raising his head and softly saying, "The 'Huangji Jing Shi' consists of one hundred and eight volumes, including three volumes on Yang residences, three volumes on Yin residences, and three volumes each on the breaking of Yin and Yang residences, which is considered a relatively important part. The ominous stove belongs to Yang residences, while Ma Qiang wishes for him to assist in seeking a dragon and locating a feng shui treasure site, which falls under the category of Yin residences. This is something Wang Yang is indeed capable of doing.

Since then, he has not dared to violate these three points even slightly, and he has not done so until now. His business has been thriving, and his life has been improving.

Yan Fuqing places immense importance on the reconstruction of the kitchen, and he is completely obedient to Wang Yang's words, stating that the construction will commence exactly where indicated, without any deviation. Moreover, work has already begun this morning, and the progress is quite rapid

Because his family was poor during his childhood and many people in the village helped them, he later made significant contributions to the village, including donating funds to build several classrooms for the village primary school, allowing the children in the village to avoid traveling far to attend school in other villages

Upon entering the living room, Ma Qiang first expressed his apologies, and only then did he slowly articulate his intentions.

After returning home, it is uncertain when I will come here again. I will not pay attention to how others discuss it. Also, because they are leaving tomorrow, Yan Pengchao could not keep them, so he specifically took them up the mountain to see the scenery. This area belongs to the Funiu Mountain Range, which has not been developed and retains its original state, presenting a beauty that is different from those tourist attractions

In addition to these instructions, the old gentleman had a special reminder, stating that my father's fate is different and that he cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, otherwise the ancestors will not find peace, and the descendants will suffer hardships. My father had always been in good health, so I did not pay much attention to this matter. However, this year, he suddenly fell seriously ill, and I thought about finding a better place for his burial, preferably not too far from us. Could you please assist with this request

Ma Qiang's thoughts differ from his father's; not being able to enter the ancestral grave after death is, in itself, a form of punishment. He wishes to provide his father with a truly auspicious resting place after death, which is why he seeks out those knowledgeable in feng shui. Burial in a public cemetery is the last resort.

The village is not large, yet the scenery is very beautiful. In the blink of an eye, two days have passed since Wang Yang and the three arrived at Yan Pengchao's place.

However, this cannot all be blamed on him. Ma Qiang arrived suddenly and had only just come, so he had not yet had the chance to inform Wang Yang. Moreover, Ma Qiang had indeed helped their family many times in the past. On numerous occasions when their family was in financial difficulty, it was Ma Qiang who lent them money. As for the 5,000 yuan tuition fee for Yan Pengchao, he even directly sponsored it without asking for repayment, stating that it was a good thing for the child to be admitted to university. This was a red envelope for the child, allowing him to eat well at school and study hard in the future.

Let's talk inside, it's quite hot outside

Additionally, the news that the Yan family had set up a malevolent altar quickly spread throughout the village, primarily disseminated by Yan Pengchao and his several cousins. The night before, they had witnessed Wang Yang performing rituals, and from their accounts, Wang Yang had seemingly become a 'master' of considerable prowess.

The Ma family has an ancestral grave outside the village. Normally, after a hundred years, Ma Qiang's father would be buried in the ancestral grave. However, fifteen years ago, Ma Qiang's father encountered an elderly feng shui master. By chance, Ma Qiang's father helped the old gentleman once, and in gratitude for their family's kindness, the old gentleman rearranged their home and specifically instructed Ma Qiang on certain matters, advising him on what to pay attention to in his future business endeavors.

Wang Yang did not leave; the first reason was to accompany Yan Pengchao for medical treatment, which was also their primary purpose for coming here. The second reason was to assist the Yan family in building a new kitchen. With his involvement, this newly constructed kitchen is undoubtedly a fortunate one, far superior to the previous one.

Your Uncle Ma Qiang has arrived

Fifteen years ago, Ma Qiang was still under thirty years old. It would not be accurate to say that he has strictly adhered to the rules all these years; in his youthful exuberance, there were several occasions when he did not follow the old gentleman's advice, which later led to problems

The one who asked the question was this man, and Yan Pengchao and Sun He immediately turned their attention to Wang Yang. The man quickly understood and stepped forward, holding a box of soft Zhonghua cigarettes, offering them to them.

Wang Yang smiled broadly, realizing that this person was indeed from the village and had previously helped Yan Pengchao, so he could not be considered a stranger. However, since he was not well acquainted with the other party, he did not speak too confidently, merely stating that he would certainly help if he could, but if it exceeded his capabilities, he could only apologize.

Ma Qiang truly rose to prominence after the departure of the old gentleman. They had never touched the arrangements made by the old gentleman, and Ma Qiang strictly followed the instructions of that old gentleman, not daring to be careless in the slightest

Three years later, in a rush to complete the project, he instructed his subordinates to work around the clock. As a result, on the first night of overtime, the machinery used for piling the foundation broke down and injured two workers

Ma Qiang grew up in this village. His family was poor during his childhood, but he later ventured out to make a living. Starting as a brick mover, he gradually developed his career and eventually became a moderately successful contractor, with assets exceeding ten million, thus becoming the richest person in the village

Yan Fuqing walked out of the living room, responding to Yan Pengchao, but his gaze was directed at Wang Yang. Soon, two individuals emerged behind him; one appeared to be in his forties, with attire and demeanor somewhat different from the others, while the other was Yan Pengchao's cousin, whom Wang Yang had seen before

The man got straight to the point, directly stating his intentions. Wang Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she did not respond immediately, instead turning to look at Yan Pengchao

It has been many days since the summer vacation began, and they have not returned home; now they all miss their families.

Mr. Wang, I came to seek your assistance after hearing about the situation at the Fuqing family. I realize this may be somewhat presumptuous, but the matter is quite urgent, and I hope for your understanding

Yan Pengchao leaned close to Wang Yang's ear and spoke quickly, expressing that someone had done him a favor. Now, he needed Wang Yang's assistance with a matter, and regardless of whether Wang Yang was ultimately willing to help, he could only speak in a favorable manner.

Yan Fuqing, after speaking, turned to Wang Yang, his eyes carrying a hint of guilt. The person had come here to seek out Wang Yang, who was now truly a lifesaver for their family, yet he had not even greeted him, which made him feel quite embarrassed

These three points, the first one he encountered in his second year. At that time, his business had just started to show some promise. There was a large renovation project for a shopping mall that he wanted to take on. The owner of that mall was a monkey. He thought that this business could bring in a lot of profit, so he gritted his teeth and accepted it. As a result, an accident occurred during the renovation process, which nearly resulted in fatalities and almost led him to financial ruin

After his father was hospitalized, he did seek out some other people, but there were very few who understood this field. Whenever he expressed a desire to see the other party's true abilities, he was always met with rejection or disappointment. Coupled with the demands of his business, his interest waned somewhat. He prepared to bury his father in the public cemetery of the county, which had already been purchased long ago. His father understood that he could not be buried in the ancestral grave after his death, so he personally made the purchase.

In the fifth year, he encountered a rather young and beautiful girl who made a small mistake. The girl wanted to join his company, and after much hesitation, he ultimately succumbed to her persistence and agreed. Within three days of her joining the company, it underwent a series of inspections by the tax authorities, industry and commerce, and fire safety, among others. Due to some loopholes, he nearly faced the closure of his business. Moreover, his child suddenly fell seriously ill. Ultimately, he completely sent the girl away, and only then did it come to an end.

This is Uncle Ma Qiang from my village. He does business outside and is a contractor who has made a lot of money, being the richest person in our village. He is wealthy but has a good reputation, having taken many young people from the village who did not attend school. He has never defaulted on wages. When I was admitted to university and my family was in a tight spot, he helped me by paying 5,000 yuan for my tuition.

Which one is Mr. Wang

Wang Yang did not pay much attention to these matters, as he would not be here for long. Now, Yan Pengchao's lung condition has improved significantly, and he no longer requires hospitalization. A few days of intravenous treatment at the clinic and some medication will suffice, so there is no need for them to stay any longer. They have already agreed to return home tomorrow, each to their own family.

Ma Qiang's mother has long passed away, and he has an elderly father who is now seventy-three years old. As the saying goes, at seventy-three and eighty-four, one does not go to the King of Hell unless called. These two ages are significant hurdles for the elderly. Ma Qiang's father is struggling with this hurdle. Since being admitted to the hospital at the end of last year, he has not been discharged. Just at the beginning of this month, the hospital issued three critical condition notices, urging the family to prepare for the worst.

So it is Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma, you are too polite. Please go ahead and speak your mind. If there is anything I can assist with, I will certainly not decline

Even when Yan Pengchao took them up the mountain to enjoy the scenery, people they encountered along the way pointed and whispered about them

Yan Fuqing remarked that although there is no air conditioning in the living room, there is a ceiling fan, and the breeze can always provide some coolness. It is now the height of summer, and even though they are located at the foot of the mountain, it is still quite hot.
