Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 168 Unexpected Coincidence

At first, Mo Qianrui was a little puzzled when he heard that the family members of one of the deceased had come to find him.

Counting it, it has been more than a month since the capsizing of the two boats. The two boats have been dragged ashore from the water by people hired by the Qiao family, and the dead have also been salvaged.During this period, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent, and it was also due to the fact that although the ships at this time were large, they were not like the large cargo ships of the [-]-ton level that Mo Qianrui had in her previous life.If that is the case, it is estimated that there is no way to salvage it.

Of course, that's not the point.The point is, why did the family members of the deceased go there earlier?

Just when I was about to ask this question, I heard others say: "Why do you all say that it is someone's family? I seem to have heard that it is a servant?"

"Huh? Could it be that the young master who fell into the water was from a rich family?"

"No way? Why does the young master of a rich family come to our Mingyue Town? Also, don't they all charter boats?"

"How do you know it's not a chartered boat? I've heard that among the people caught by the Qiao family, most of the people on their own boat accounted for more. I heard that there were only five other people."

"Five? I remember the boatman had three?"

"That's right, the three boatmen, and the other two are the masters of the people who came to make trouble this time? Ouch, maybe they all came here by chartering a boat."

The others were chattering, and Mo Qianrui couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart at this moment. No, before the others said anything, Grandma gave her a contemptuous look: "You What does the little girl know? You can’t know immediately if someone has an accident. Besides, isn’t the family somewhere else? It’s probably because I haven’t heard from the master for a long time, so I came here to inquire. It will take time to inquire!”

By the way, communication is underdeveloped these days.

Mo Qianrui silently lowered her head and pointed at her fingers. I really can't afford to be hurt by people who always mix up the experiences of two lifetimes!
If this matter was left in Mo Qianrui's previous life and his family's mobile phone could not be reached, he should call the police.Besides, whenever there is a shipwreck or car accident, in addition to the media will report, the police must also have a record.Although there are exceptions, in most cases, it is relatively easy to find someone.

At least it's easier than it is today.

While speaking, the door of the Qiao family was suddenly opened, and several angry people came out from inside, followed by several people, one of whom was the young master of the Qiao family.

Mo Qianrui's ears were instantly filled with words like "It's them", "Oh, it seems that the conversation has collapsed"... such words.

Gathering his mind, Mo Qianrui looked up.

"Hmph, Qiao's family! How capable do you think your family is? Do you know who our family is? My master brought the young master to you to save face! What about now? Tell me, our master's body is in the where?"

Huh?Are there any remains yet to be found?
Mo Qianrui raised her eyebrows in surprise. Although the Qiao family was responsible for the shipwreck last time, she still had to admit that the Qiao family was still very kind.

At least, they spent a lot of effort to drag the two boats up, and sent people to intercept the waters within a radius of ten miles, in order to find the remains.In fact, although Mo Qianrui was talking about a shipwreck, strictly speaking, it was not a real shipwreck. At least outside of Mingyue Town was not an ocean, but a freshwater river.

It is said that the river is actually not very deep, and usually people will float up after drowning. The Qiao family searched there for more than ten days, and it is said that there is no fish that slipped through the net.

Wait... sir?

"Is your master about 40 or [-] years old, with such a tall stature, right?" Mo Qianrui suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately interjected, and made a gesture with his hand, "Also, others don't It's fat, but it looks solid, doesn't it?"

Originally, those people were roaring angrily, but when they heard what Mo Qianrui said, they turned their heads immediately.

One of the leaders rushed to Mo Qianrui's side in a few steps, and said eagerly: "Little girl, have you seen my master? Is my master still alive?"

Mo Qianrui choked, could she say... died?

"I haven't seen it, but I know it should be like this." Seeing the bewildered look on the man's face, Mo Qianrui quickly explained, "I have a friend's father who was thought to be on that boat at the time, and he was found later. A dead body, exactly the same height and shape as my friend's father. Then everyone thought that something happened to my friend's father. As a result, the fact is that my friend's father didn't get on that boat at all. If you think so, then What about a dead body that closely resembles him?"

The man was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, apparently understanding the meaning of Mo Qianrui's words.

"Little girl, can you tell me where your friend's house is? I don't blame them for this, but I must take my master's body back for a good burial."

"Okay. But, I remember they helped with the burial." Mo Qianrui nodded first, then added.

In fact, after the Li family finished the ritual, they buried the person, as if they were sent back to Yangliu Village for burial.

Later, even though Uncle Li's family came back, there was no reason to dig him out again, he just dug up the tombstone.

"It's okay, you tell me, I can carry the coffin back, don't worry, I will definitely thank you all afterwards."

Thank you again, Mo Qianrui never thought about it at all. Although she is a materialist, since she traveled through time, she still has some taboos about those weird things.It's okay if it's the people around you, but it's not sensitive to strangers.

"I'll take you there, so there's no need to say anything else."

In fact, when Mo Qianrui said this, the young master of the Qiao family had already understood.

After all, he was in charge of this matter from the very beginning, and Uncle Li was still his father-in-law, so he was naturally more concerned.

When Mo Qianrui led those people to the Li's house, the young master of the Qiao family and several other members of the Qiao family also followed.

The Li family arrived soon, because they were not too far apart.But what Mo Qianrui didn't expect was that the Li family was guarded by General Tie, and there was no one inside.

"Huh? What's going on here? Grandma, I don't remember wrongly, right? Didn't Uncle Li and the others say they would leave after the next year? Could it be that they left early?"

Mo Qianrui was confused, but the grandmother who came after him thought of the answer after a while: "Don't think about it, it's not that they left early, they must have gone back to Yangliu Village for the New Year. The fire is on fire, but there are so many relatives in the Li family, it doesn’t matter which one you go to celebrate the New Year. Why don’t you just go to Yangliu Village, since their family buried them in the Li family’s ancestral grave in Yangliu Village.”

The previous words were addressed to Mo Qianrui, but the last sentence was addressed directly to those few people.

Mo Qianrui felt that Grandma's words were justified, and seeing the young master of the Qiao family following him, he suggested: "Master Qiao's family, this matter has something to do with your family anyway, or else your family is looking Take a carriage to take people to Yangliu Village. At least let people carry the body home for burial.”

In this era, we pay special attention to the saying that it is safe to burrow.

Of course, the people of the Li family also buried him, but after all, it was the ancestral grave of the Li family.Thinking about it, if the deceased had a spirit in heaven, he still hoped to return home.

For Mo Qianrui's proposal, the young master of the Qiao family would naturally not refuse.

On the contrary, those people's complexions are still not good-looking, and they seem unwilling to give the Qiao family this face.

Looking at the situation, Mo Qianrui also hoped to be a peacemaker. To put it bluntly, the Qiao family was responsible for this matter, but after all, it wasn't the Qiao family's intention.

At that moment, she began to persuade: "You are foreigners, you don't know where Yangliu Village is. Even if you try to go there, you can't find the Li family. Think about it, if you go door-to-door and ask, the villages in the countryside will be Maybe you think you guys want to do something bad. If you let the young master of the Qiao family go with you, he is familiar with the Li family, so he will save some face. Not to mention, you think you guys want to dig in other people's ancestral graves randomly , can people agree?"

The few people looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was the person in the lead who came out to make a statement.

"This little girl is right. In fact, now that there is no one here, we just want to take him back for a proper burial. It's useless to talk about other things. Well, let's trouble the Qiao family. "

The other party had expressed their views, and the Qiao family naturally agreed.

Although judging from the current law, they have no direct responsibility, and it is impossible for the government to blame them.

But the problem is that it's morally unjustifiable!

They are both the two local tyrants of Mingyue Town, but the Qiao family and the Shen family are completely different.

This Shen family was originally a big family in Mingyue Town, and their ancestors have been a prominent family for generations, and they are also a scholarly family, with officials from generation to generation.Not to mention that there are still a lot of scholars and recruiters, and they still do private schools and academies. Even if they occasionally involve business, what they do is the elegant business of the Four Treasures of the Study.In essence, they are the real earth emperors in Mingyue Town.

On the other hand, Qiao's family.

The Qiao family only got rich from the generation of the old man of the Qiao family, and even counting the generation of the young master of the Qiao family, they have not survived three generations.Moreover, the Qiao family made their fortune purely by doing business. Although the dynasty does not discriminate against businessmen, in the final analysis, scholars are higher than businessmen.This is also the reason why the second master of the Qiao family insisted on enrolling in school after the old man of the Qiao family became prosperous.

To put it bluntly, the Shen family is called a wealthy family, while the Qiao family can only be regarded as an upstart.

Under such circumstances, if something happened to the Qiao family, once they lost popular support, the business would be impossible to do.You must know that doing business is based on integrity, as long as the reputation is ruined, the collapse of the business is not far away.

It was also for this reason that after the accidents of the two ships that day, the Qiao family offered to help salvage the remains of the ships and pay for the burial without the government's intervention.

This is not what the law requires them to do, but the Qiao family cannot lose their reputation for these small money.

Similarly, when the family members of the deceased came to the door, they could only choose to bow down and laugh.
