Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 46 The Funeral
"Ah! Ah!"

Jiang Defu followed Liu Shuigan and ran towards Li Laosi's family.

Before they even reached the door, they heard heart-rending shouts.

"Second Li, as the eldest brother, the fourth son is a member of your family after all. Don't be too..."

Liu Mulin shouted to Li Laoer.

Li Laosi was pressed down by Li Laosan and Li Laowu on the ground, making heart-rending screams.

His two daughters and a young son next to him were so frightened that they cried loudly.

The scene was miserable and pitiful...

"Liu Mulin, this is our Li family's own business, we don't need you to be a good person here!
Then Mrs. Liu was unreasonable and jumped into a well, dirtying a well. How could such a violent death enter the ancestral graves of our Li family?
If you were generous, you might as well bury your Liu family! "

Li Laoer said coldly to Liu Mulin.

"you you……"

Liu Mulin was speechless.

Although the Li brothers are arrogant and unreasonable, there is a traditional rule in Shi'ao Village that people who die violently should not be buried in their ancestors' graves.

Generally, there are two types of people who will not enter their ancestors’ graves after death:

One type is young people who are not married and have a family, but whose parents are still alive.

Here, such people are too young and have too much yin energy. After they die young, they are usually buried beside the road or some other place.

In short, they cannot be buried in ancestral graves.

There is also a person who dies unexpectedly, which is said to be unjust and will affect the feng shui of the home.

Mrs. Liu's death by jumping into a well was considered a violent death. It was taboo for the Li family. Of course, Mrs. Liu died because of them, which made her feel uncomfortable overall.

After the death of Mrs. Liu, Li Laoer actually felt guilty and did not come forward. However, when Li Laosi buried Mr. Liu with the help of the villagers and prepared to bury Ms. Liu in the Li family's ancestral grave, he couldn't sit still.

Today, when Li Laosi led everyone to dig a grave in the Li family's ancestral grave, the Li brothers blocked the door and prohibited them from going to the Li family's ancestral grave.

Li Laowu and Li Laosan also discussed wrapping Mrs. Liu in a straw mat and burying her directly on the south hillside.

The southern slope is a barren and barren mountain. It is said that in the early years, there was a place where Japanese soldiers died. The villagers always think that it is unlucky.

Even if they go hunting in the mountains, few people go there and bury their wives there. Li Laosi, who has always been honest, exploded this time.

Just go up and have sex with Li Laowu.

How could he alone be the opponent of Li Laosan and Li Laowu?

Jiang Defu did not understand the thinking of this era. He was educated in his previous life and believed that death is like a lamp going out.

Since the brothers of the Li family are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, the worst possible outcome is that they will not enter!

Where is the loess that doesn't bury people? What if he wasn't willing to be buried with so many heartless and unjust people!

It's just that now these brothers are bullying Li Laosi, and the child is still crying next to him, which looks really pitiful.

"We are all brothers, there is no need to be like this!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Defu couldn't help but said.

"you……"

Li Laoer was exchanging words with Liu Mulin when he saw Jiang Defu speechless in surprise. He didn't expect this kid to come over.

Li Lao San and Li Lao Wu trembled when they saw Jiang Defu. They were beaten the most hatefully that day, and now they still feel a little pain when they think about it.Especially Li Laowu, when the sky is cloudy, his heels hurt a little, which is the shadow left by the previous beating.

"You...it's none of your business here. This is...our family's business. You...don't meddle in your own business..."

Li Laoer calmed down and said.

"Although this matter belongs to your Li family, a few of you beat someone else, and Li Laosi's woman just died, and the children are still so young. As his brother, there is no need for you to do this!"

Jiang Defu felt a little displeased when he saw Li Laoer.

Bottom three. Angular eyes, flat nose, thin lips, perfectly cool and vicious look!
"That's right, fellow villagers can't stand it anymore! You can't do this to the fourth child. His wife died, and everyone in the village sympathized with him. As his brother, how can you do this? We in Shi'ao Village can't have such evil behavior. thing!"

Liu Mulin was a little timid before, but now that he saw Jiang Defu coming, he felt a lot more confident.

"You...what do you want to do? Anyway, his wife died violently and cannot...cannot be buried in the ancestral grave! Liu Mulin, he...he may not know this situation, you should know!"

Li Laoer didn't expect that Jiang Defu seemed determined to take care of this matter.

Jiang Defu looked at Liu Mulin, who nodded awkwardly!

"In this case, things can be discussed. There is no need to hit people. Beating people is always wrong..."

Rural customs are bigger than the sky, and many things are not so easy to do!
All he could do was discuss and give Mr. Li four buffers.

"We... we don't need to beat him, but he can't bring his dead woman to the ancestral home, and he... he may not be our Li family member!"

Li Laoer suddenly said.

Jiang Defu was very confused. What did it mean that Li Laosi was not necessarily a member of the Li family?
"Let the fourth child go and don't hit anyone. As for where to bury his wife, I'll discuss it with him. You don't have to worry about it!"

Liu Mulin said sternly, with a bit of the majesty of a village chief at this moment.

Li Lao San and Li Lao Wu looked at Li Lao Er, then quickly let go of Li Lao Si, and they left in despair.

"Defu, you are so powerful. If you don't come here today, those beasts might really have buried the fourth lady in Luangangpo. What a crime!"

As soon as the Li brothers left, Liu Mulin took Jiang Defu's hand and sighed.

The villagers also stepped forward and helped Li Laosi up. Li Laosi was dumbfounded and his eyes were dull.

The three children washed their faces with the help of everyone and stayed with Li Laosi.

The Li family was poor and had little food, so they still had to organize a funeral.

Many people brought over one or two bowls of cornmeal, and Zhang Guilan also went back and brought two bowls of cornmeal and a few pancakes.

She distributed the pancakes to Li Laosi's three children, and the three children ate them hungrily.

"Fourth brother, everyone knows that you are sad. Your mother-in-law is a good woman, but she is unlucky. She will naturally be buried now that she is gone. If Li Laoer is not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, we will not enter. There are those unscrupulous things next to her. What's the point? Isn't there wasteland at your home in the western suburbs? Bury your mother-in-law there!
There is a funeral tomorrow, and everyone will come to help. You should cheer up, not only for yourself, but also for the children! "

Liu Mulin's words were very serious.

Everyone saw that Li Laosi rolled his eyes, and he must have come back to his senses.

Someone brought him a bowl of water and asked him to drink it. After a while, he stood up.

With a "Plop" sound, he knelt down again and kowtowed deeply to everyone three times.

Many men tilted their heads to one side, while women kept wiping their eyes with the corners of their clothes.

"Then Mr. Li is not a member of the Li family?"

On the way back, Jiang Defu asked with some confusion.
