"No, it's fine here!" Ling Yiran said quickly. The cemetery plot he had chosen for her mother was in a separate spot in the cemetery, not in line with the rest.
If one were to describe them as houses, the rows and rows of tombs were apartments while the tomb he had chosen was like a mansion.
It was a small independent space surrounded by a row of trees. There were even stone tables and chairs a few meters in front of the tomb for visitors to rest.
"Great. Then you can put your mother's ashes in," said Yi Jinli.
Ling Yiran nodded, stooped down, and placed her mother's cinerary casket in the hole in front of the tombstone where the ashes were kept. Then, the workers covered it with the slate and poured cement over it to seal it.
The cemetery staff presented Ling Yiran with a contract for the cemetery. It was a one-time contract for 50 years.
However, Ling Yiran saw that the cost was a huge amount. Even before her incident, she might not have been able to afford such an expensive cemetery plot.
"Mr. Yi has paid for all the expenses. You just need to sign here, Miss Ling," said the cemetery staff.
Ling Yiran knew she owed Yi Jinli another big favor.
Biting her lip slightly, she took the pen and signed her name. After all, it was not the time to worry about her remaining pride.
After the cemetery staff and workers left, Yi Jinli asked Gao Congming to bring out incense as well as the fruits and food for worship.
"You have not paid your respects to your mother today. You can do it now." As he spoke, he stooped down and laid out the candles, food, and fruits. Then, he took out a lighter and lit the candles. Finally, he lit another bunch of incense and gave her three of them.
