Chapter 288 Polly Took the Blame
Miss Clay was thinking about something when the note in her hand was snatched away.
She frowned, “What are you doing?”
Her brother smiled, “Let’s see what the little girl wrote for you.”
He unfolded the note impatiently, only to see a bird and a turtle drawn on it, as well as several ones
and a string of zeros.
It did not look like a phone number so he counted the number of digits she wrote in case the Crawford
family had a special phone number because they were rich.
The result disappointed him, the phone number had 11 digits instead of 10.
That little girl must be three or four years old, how dumb can she be to not remember her phone
number?
“Claire, do you think that little girl will call you?”
Miss Clay took the back note and said lightly, “She’s just a child, do you think she will call me?”
Miss Clay’s younger brother bit his lips and replied, “You have a point,”
However, the Crawford family was incredibly wealthy. If that little girl called his sister and gave her a
few million dollars, he would not need to work for the rest of his life.
Why were wealthy people so carefree and ordinary people like them had to work hard to make a living?
It would be great if he could get a share of the Crawford family’s money.
In Greenhill Cemetery, Jonas picked Lilly up and asked, “Where did you go just now?”
Lilly squeezed her fingers and replied, “I felt like I had a new era,”
Jonas was speechless.
Josh interrupted, “It’s a mission, not an era,”
Lilly nodded earnestly, “I think I have a new mission,”
Jonas could not stop laughing, as she was just four years old and what kind of mission could she
have?
Anthony was thinking about moving the grave.
The brothers were surprised, but after hearing what Lilly said, they agreed with it.
Hugh was stunned, and frowned, “Why do you want to move the tomb all of a sudden? This is
nonsense!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnthony remained calm, “Lilly said that the omen in this area isn’t good and our ancestors wouldn’t like
it here,”
Hugh paused.
Did Lilly say that? Then it’s fine.
But he still insisted, “But I think it’s too late now…”
Anthony looked at the time, “Lilly said we need to move the tomb to the southwest. There’s a normal
cemetery in the southwest of Alfornada,”
“I just bought a burial plot over there,”
“I even called the people to relocate it and arranged a team for it. There’s already a car outside,”
Hugh remained silent.
Anthony added, “Lilly said that today is a good day to move the grave.”
Hugh had nothing to say.
Relocating the grave on Ghost Festival was a bit unbelievable, but it made sense since Lilly was the
one who said so.
Hugh waved his hand, “Alright since you’ve already arranged it,”
Edward looked at the grave and sighed. “I just pulled out all the weed, you should’ve told me sooner!”
“I guess I need to dig the grave now,”
Digging graves was a little….
Edward took a sip of water, poured some in his hand, and muttered.
“Please forgive me, ancestor. Please understand that I’m going to dig your grave,”
Their ancestors were sitting on their graves.
They were watching the excitement only to find that his descendants were digging his grave.
Anthony yelled from a distance, “Lilly, come and pay respects to your ancestors, we’re gonna move the
tomb later,”
Lilly ran over happily, “I’m here, ancestor!”
The ancestor was floating on the grave and said, “Isn’t this our new baby? Why haven’t I seen you….”
Lilly looked at her ancestor curiously and asked, “I only came here this year! There are so many
graves, are you the only one here?”
The ancestor looked at Lilly in surprise.
Can this little one see me?
He answered cheerfully, “Yes, I’m the only one left. All the others reincarnated,”
Lilly pinched his fingers and calculated.

Master said that if a person’s life expectancy is 80 years old and if he dies unexpectedly at the age of
30, then he will have to spend 50 years in the underworld.
Naturally, people who died of old age would reincarnate after the first seven days, or they can choose
to stay in Ghost Palace for some time, listen to prayers, or gather more blessings for their descendants.
In addition, they needed to collect enough blessings before they died and would have to gather more
blessings in the underworld as well if they want to reincarnate.
Some commit suicide and have a bad aura, which would also prolong them from being reincarnated. If
they knew about it, they should know that it was not worth doing so,
In short, reincarnation was complicated, and the Ruler of Hell would give his judgment on whether you
get to reincarnate or not. There was also room for manipulation…
“Ancestor, you’re so old, why are you still here?” Lilly asked in confusion after pinching his fingers.
He said quietly. “There should be someone to protect your family, right?”
Lilly gasped and gave him a thumbs up, “You’re so awesome, ancestor! You’ve worked hard!”
Life in the ghost realm was not so pleasant as most of the ghosts have been reincarnated, and very
few were willing to stay.
Lilly’s ancestor was willing to stay and protect the family, he must be a good person!
Lilly tiptoed on the tombstone, massaging her ancestor’s legs.
Her ancestor laughed. He was so lonely in the ghost realm and it was the first time he chatted with his
descendant.
“Can you sing for me, little one?” The ancestor said enthusiastically.
Lilly thought about it and wondered what she should sing.
That’s right!
“I’m here to worship my ancestors, and I wonder if they’re free! Why is it that the more I work, the
poorer
I am…”
“Please ensure that I will have a prosperous year. I wanna have money even if I don’t work…”
Everyone in the Crawford family looked at Lilly who was muttering at the tomb.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfterward, they heard a familiar tune being sung.
They listened carefully and noticed that it was in the tune of the song, “We are number one,”
But the lyrics…
Everyone’s mouths twitched.
Bettany’s forehead was full of wrinkles, and she asked, “Who taught her that?”
Edward waved his hand immediately, “It’s not me!”
The brothers shook their heads.
Bettany looked at Anthony.
Forget it. Anthony wouldn’t teach her such silly things.
She then looked at Polly who was playing with a leaf.
Polly was dumbfounded, “Caw?”
It was stunned.
It did not teach Lilly that!
Bettany squatted and pointed at Polly, “I always see you using Lilly’s phone to go on TikTok! Tell me
what’s your ID. I must find your account!”
Polly replied, “Caw?” The parrot tilted its head and looked at the old lady.
Everyone could not help laughing. They said that Bettany was acting like a child and even scolded the
parrot.
Some passers–by thought that the family was weird.
A little girl was singing about her ancestors on the tombstone, a man digging the grave, and an old lady
scolding a parrot.
Not long after, the “Grave Demolition Team” arrived, and the priests did their prayers. After the ritual,
they could now remove the Crawford family’s urn.
In the sales department, the sales manager was stunned when heard that the Crawford family’s grave
was about to be relocated.
What?
The Crawford family wants to move the grave.
Why didn’t they tell me beforehand?
The sales manager quickly put down what he was doing, and hurried towards the cemetery.
