Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) -
Chapter 291
Chapter 291 Whoever Pitiful Is Hateful
At Greenhill Cemetery, Mr. Reeves heard that the Crawford family had moved the grave to an ordinary cemetery, and his competitor. Mr. Zeke was busy making tombstones for the Crawford family.
He heard that they wanted tombstones in different styles such as flowers, clouds, and even tombstones in the shape of peaches...
Mr. Reeves was furious; he cursed at Mr. Zeke and stared blankly.
The Crawford family went to the ordinary cemetery and the burial plots were sold out in an instant.
Meanwhile, all of Greenhill Cemetery's orders were refunded and they made a huge mistake...
Greenhill Cemetery was being sued by the Crawford family for using the Crawford family's grave as an advertisement to gain profit without permission.
Mr. Reeves grit his teeth as he thought that Mr. Zeke was ratting him out behind his back....
At the sales department, the salesmen tried their best and spoke eloquently.
They looked down on people who could not afford to buy a burial plot there and now they were enthusiastic for the customers to buy them.
One of the salesmen was trying his best to get the Clay siblings to buy their burial plot and kept flattering
Ken..
Ken held a cup of tea while he saw his sister hesitating. He urged, "Why are you still hesitating, Claire? You thought about it all morning. Why don't you buy it now?"
Upon hearing what he said, the salesperson became more enthusiastic, thinking that he was the one who could make decisions.
Ken enjoyed this kind of treatment very much, and said with a smile, "We've been interested in buying a burial plot at Greenhill Cemetery for a while and we're pretty satisfied with the location..." Claire placed the contract down and interrupted him, "I need to compare!"
Ken choked on his words and he was very angry.
Why are you whimpering?
He frowned and said, "What else do you want, Claire? They've even given you a 20000 dollar discount. I think it's a great deal so hurry up and buy it!"
She will regret it if it's sold out!
Claire sneered, "Then you buy it, I won't stop you,"
Ken was mad to death. Would he still ask her for money if he had it?
He should have had the final say when they were buying their father's grave. However, he could not figure out why it took his sister so long to buy it.
She even said to give him the money and buy it himself a few days ago. Now, she was doing this to him!
Claire ignored him and left.
The salesman felt annoyed.
After negotiating with her for so long and felt like it was all for nothing.
Most of the people who came to set up the cemetery were serious buyers. He did not expect her to leave without buying-
"Okay, think about it again. The event will last until today. I can't guarantee there will be a place available for you if you change your mind!" The salesman said unwillingly.
Ken nodded and caught up with his sister and he was a little depressed.
When he went out, he asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"
Claire explained, "They were boasting about how the Crawford family's grave was located here all morning. And now, they didn't talk about it anymore. There must be something wrong. Ken was speechless.
That's it?
What did the Crawford family's grave have to do with them if they wanted to buy the cemetery?
"Why do you care about someone else? Even if there was a problem, we've got nothing to do with it. It's such a good deal, we need to buy it now!" Ken said.
"Besides, didn't Nathan say that they held a meeting in the afternoon? He said they must sell all the new types of graves or they'll be punished! That's why they're having a huge discount. They'll go back to their original price after today..."
Claire sneered, "Did you believe what they say? Because I don't. I need to think about it,"
Ken was in a hurry, "It'll be sold out if you keep thinking about it! Look at all the people who are buying their burial plots here. Don't you know Dad wants to be buried here? Don't you want him to be happy?" Anyway, in the deep understanding of the old man, being able to come to Greenhill Cemetery is a status symbol.
Their father knew that people who were buried at the Greenhill Cemetery had high status.
Since their father wanted to feel entitled, he thought that Claire should buy a burial plot here.
Ken chattered on, "Dad doesn't have much time left. He wouldn't believe you if you said Greenhill Cemetery isn't good. Why don't you buy it for him and he'll be happy. And once he's happy, maybe hist condition will improve. Why are you still hesitating?"
When Claire heard this, she hesitated again.
Her brother was right.
Their father was that kind of person. Once he wanted to be buried at Greenhill Cemetery, he would refuse to be buried elsewhere. He would just think that she was reluctant to spend money on him. Claire sighed. "Alright then..."
Just then her phone rang, and it was her husband calling.
Claire's husband said coldly, "Claire if you buy the burial plot with the money today, I'll divorce you,"
Claire frowned, "How can you talk about it like that? You know that my dad doesn't have much time left... Can we talk about this later..."
No matter how horrible that man was, he was still her father. He would only be around for a couple of days and why did she need to be calculative with him?
She could never watch her father die in pain.
She just wanted to fulfill her role as a daughter and did not want to leave any regrets.
"Shouldn't it be the children's responsibility for their parents' burial?" Claire said wearily.
Her husband said sarcastically, "Of course, it is! But it should be your and your brother's responsibility. Why are you the only one forking out the money? Do you think it should be this way?" "I won't say anything if your younger brother paid half the price or even 5000 dollars!"
Claire was speechless.
She continued, "It's not like you don't know my brother has no money either..."
Her husband sneered, "Is not having money an excuse? I don't wanna talk to you anymore. That's that," He hung up the phone.
Ken asked, "What did he say?"
Claire said angrily: "What he means is that you and I should pay for the purchase of the cemetery together, at least 50,000 yuan, otherwise we will go back and divorce me." Ken was speechless.
He said, "Isn't he too ignorant? This is our family's business. Who is he to interfere with us? You earned all the money yourself, and it's not his. It's none of his business." "Claire, you need to leave him as soon as you leave, don't spoil him!"
Claire was silent.
Divorce? He was so carefree when he said it.
Claire was very upset, she could afford to buy the plot but she had to divorce.
How would she explain it to her father if she did not buy it?
Was she wrong? Was it wrong for her to pay for her father's medical bills when she was rich and capable?
Life was like a road where you could not see the future. Claire was really confused.
Just when she was confused, she suddenly remembered what Lilly said.
"Don't be confused when something happens, make sure you have a clear mind."
Claire decided without hesitation and said. "Alright, we'll buy the plot. However, I'll only be paying 150000 dollars for it, you should be able to pay 100000 dollars, right?"
Ken was stunned.
The next second, he exclaimed, "What the heck, where do I get 100000 dollars? Why did you listen to
husband? Isn't our dad more important than him?!"
your
Claire made up her mind and did not back down, "You can either borrow the money or you can sell the house,"
Two years ago, she gave him a down payment to buy a house. Now that the price of the house had risen, he could sell it for at least one million dollars.
Ken became even more aggrieved, "No way! Why would I sell my house? You have the money to pay for the plot, why do I have to sell the house? What kind of sister are you?"
"Look at other people's sisters, my classmate's sister bought him a house and paid for his wedding. Why would you want me to sell my house..."
