After the sudden death of the excavator driver was dealt with, the village chief at the time hanged himself that very night. It was only when his family tried to wake him up the next morning that they discovered he had committed suicide.
The next morning, upon hearing about the village chief's suicide by hanging, the construction crew leader immediately took his team and all construction equipment and left Yang Family Village.
Because there were rumors in the village that ghosts from the old house had killed both the excavator driver and the village chief, the acting village chief, fearing that the ghost would claim his life too, made canceling the contract with the construction crew and abandoning the plans to demolish the old house and build the road his top priority after taking office.
