Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 61 Placement of Ashes
As someone in the funeral industry, Chen Miao naturally knew about cemeteries, especially after he took over the position of director and reviewed some of the business of Tianmen Funeral Home, including cemetery-related matters.

Cemeteries can be either public or commercial in nature.

There are two public cemeteries in Longtang Town, but the one they are in is privately run.

Privately run cemeteries naturally need salespeople to attract business, and most of these salespeople will cultivate good relationships with funeral homes and funeral service shops in towns and villages.

Or perhaps cooperation would be a better term.

Generally, funeral homes and funeral service providers will receive a commission if they can bring in a business for a cemetery.

However, not all funeral homes and funeral parlors will help with finding clients.

Some people who don't want to get too involved will only contact the salesperson when there are customers. After that, whether the customer chooses to stay or not depends on how the salesperson negotiates.

This will also give you a commission, but it will be less.

The cooperation between Tianmen Funeral Home and the public cemetery in Tianmen County is the second type.

If we can find the salesperson who handled Yue Na's tomb back then, we might be able to learn some information from him.

"This is good, this is good!"

Upon hearing Chen Miao's words, the administrator immediately began searching on the computer.

Soon, a name came into view.

Qian Zhixian!
"Contact him and have him come over."

Chen Guokun said.

Half an hour later, a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old with slicked-back hair walked in, holding a car key with a blue and white pattern in his hand.

"Brother Sun, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?"

After glancing at Chen Guokun and the other two, Qian Zhixian spoke to the administrator.

"Qian Zhixian, these men next to you are police officers. They're here to ask you some questions!"

The administrator pointed at Chen Guokun and said.

"Find me?"

Qian Zhixian was a little confused, but he didn't panic. He hadn't done anything recently.

"What do you want from me?"

Qian Zhixian sat on the sofa, her gaze sweeping around before landing on Chen Guokun.

"Yue Na, do you know?"

Chen Guokun stared at Qian Zhixian's face, and then he saw a hint of panic flash across Qian Zhixian's puzzled face.

"do not know."

"Don't you remember the business you secured a year ago?"

Chen Guokun stared at Qian Zhixian expressionlessly, leaning slightly forward.

"You'd better think carefully before you answer. Your answer will determine how you end up."

Chen Guokun's words made Qian Zhixian swallow hard, and the "I don't know" that was on the tip of her tongue just wouldn't come out.

After a long silence, Qian Zhixian's straight back bent.

"What do you want with Yue Na? She's been dead for a year."

Chen Guokun looked at Qian Zhixian and said, "We're not looking for Yue Na, we're looking for Yue Na's ashes and belongings. Tell us everything you know."

Qian Zhixian gripped her car keys tightly and remained silent.

"It seems you're not comfortable speaking here. Let's go back to the station."

Chen Guokun stood up, followed closely by Tong Yu and Chen Miao, and the administrator also stood up subconsciously.

For a moment, only Qian Zhixian remained sitting in the room, her face pale.

"Qian Zhixian! Speak up! If you haven't broken the law, say whatever you know. Are you afraid that your superiors won't stand up for you?"

Chen Guokun glanced at the administrator but remained silent.

Qian Zhixian stopped rubbing her hands.

"I...I really didn't do anything. That family made me do it!"

Qian Zhixian's next answer left Chen Miao, who had been listening from beginning to end, completely silent.

As Chen Miao guessed, the grave was indeed dug up by someone with ulterior motives, but Qian Zhixian did not dig it up to turn Yue Na into a vengeful ghost.

Qian Zhixian dug up Yue Na's grave and took away her ashes, all because of... money!

It's not that someone wants to buy Yue Na's ashes, but that someone wants to buy Yue Na's grave!
The day after Yue Na's burial, Qian Zhixian landed a highly profitable deal.

Someone wants to buy nine burial plots at once!
The other party said they had consulted a master and that they needed to buy a tomb with nine 3x3 grid-like orientations.

Nine times nine equals one! Of the nine tombs, only the central one is used, while the other empty tombs guard the central tomb, bringing wealth and warding off disasters for the family of the tomb's owner!
Strangely enough, there were exactly nine unsold burial plots at the site where Yue Na was originally buried.

Salespeople usually bring clients to choose burial plots, but for some reason, these nine plots have not been selected.

The strange situation was broken only when Yue Na appeared.

Who would have thought this would happen?

Qian Zhixian had also advised the other party that the person was already buried and could not be moved.

But the other party didn't see it that way; they were simply giving Qian Zhixian an ultimatum.

If Qian Zhixian doesn't solve this problem, they won't buy it.

Nine tombs!
He sold nine burial plots at once, earning him a commission of nearly tens of thousands.

But the person was buried inside!

Qian Zhixian was very conflicted at the time, but when the wealthy family said they were willing to give her another 50,000, all her worries disappeared.

That night, he took a shovel and dug up Yue Na's grave, moved all the things inside, and then filled the grave back up.

Only Yue Na's tombstone remains, which was also secured by Qian Zhixian.

If a tombstone isn't left behind, Qian Zhixian wouldn't dare earn this money!
If someone visiting Yue Na's grave discovers that her tombstone is missing and causes a scene, then the reputation of this cemetery will be ruined.

Qian Zhixian believed that if he did that, his boss would kill him!

Leaving a monument will ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The wealthy family didn't pursue the matter further; they just wanted to ensure there was nothing in the tomb.

And that's how it turned out to be what it is today.

"So, what about the ashes and Yue Na's other belongings?"

Chen Guokun didn't care how much Qian Zhixian earned or what she did; all he cared about now was where Yue Na's things were!
"I gave the ashes and belongings to Yue Xiaodao, and he took them back to the orphanage."

Qian Zhixian said.

"Yue Xiaodao? Who is he? And which orphanage is this?"

Chen Guokun frowned; he didn't seem to have seen this somewhat sharp name among Yue Na's surviving relatives.

"Uh, you guys don't know?"

Qian Zhixian was surprised.

“In the east of Longtang Town, there is a private orphanage called ‘Getting Better and Better’. The director of that orphanage passed away six years ago, and since then, the orphanage has been declining and is facing closure.”

"Until Yue Na appeared and started funding that orphanage."

"I only found out later that Yue Na was also an orphan!"

"After learning about this, she began to sponsor the orphanage, and she has been sponsoring it for four years!"

“At the beginning, Yue Na was not an internet celebrity. The money she earned from working was just a drop in the bucket when it came to the orphanage. Over the years, the orphanage has taken in more than 30 children, the youngest of whom is less than one year old and the oldest is twelve years old. Not only are they completely unable to earn money, but they also have to spend money to go to school.”

"Later, Yue Na had plastic surgery and became a minor internet celebrity."

"As long as we make money, the orphanage can stay afloat."

"After Yue Na jumped off the building, all the children from the orphanage came."

"And Yue Xiaodao is an orphan in the orphanage. I heard that he has a very good relationship with Yue Na."

"At that time, I... I didn't dare to contact Yue Na's relatives, so I could only go to the orphanage. However, I later donated all the money from Yue Na's grave to the orphanage!"

"Yue Xiaodao didn't linger and left with the ashes and other things."

"After that, I don't know."

After hearing Qian Zhixian's story, everyone fell silent.

Who would have thought that there was such a story behind this incident?

However, whether it was Chen Guokun, Tong Yu, or Chen Miao, they all quickly returned to normal.

They had all seen similar things many times in their respective industries.

Seeing that Tong Yu nodded, Chen Guokun immediately walked out of the office.

Qian Zhixian breathed a heavy sigh of relief when she saw that the other party had not arrested her.

But soon, as if he had thought of something, he turned and shouted to Chen Guokun:
"By the way, the orphanage was renamed after Yue Na died!"

"Now it's called 'Yue Lai Yue Hao' (meaning 'The More You Go, the Better')."
