Chen Lan's family seems to have simply come back for the funeral, they didn't bring anything, they didn't prepare anything, anyway, when they asked, I don't know, I don't have experience, I haven't prepared.

I thought that when Chen Lan came back, Li Dazui would be able to be buried more decently, but now it seems that it is impossible.

A few years ago, Li Dazui prepared the coffin for herself, but she still couldn't use it herself, because the eldest and his family planned to sell the coffin, and if they couldn't sell it, they kept it for their own use, even if it was decades later, it was rotten and useless, and they didn't give it to Li Dazui when they were chopped for firewood, and in their hearts, Li Dazui was not worthy of using such a good coffin.

In this regard, Chen Lan has something to say, as long as she is not allowed to pay, she is still very willing to fight for some of the things she deserves for Li Dazui's corpse, such as the coffin she prepared a few years ago.

At this time, the time had come to noon, and in the humble mourning hall, there were no outsiders present except for their own family.

Some of the people who came to help were preparing lunch meals outside, and there were many relatives and friends who came to mourn, so they had to invite someone to have a light meal at noon!

According to their custom here, when someone dies in the family, they have to invite a few people from the village to come and help with the work, mainly to prepare meals, four or five people are enough, and they don't need a salary or anything, how long to do things, how long to take care of the food.

After all, the main family has to entertain relatives and friends who come to the funeral, and there are other miscellaneous things to be busy, so I really can't spare my hands to cook.

Don't look at just a meal, Chen Hao and Chen Hui are two brothers who owe favors, in the countryside, that is, you help me and I help you, this time they called these people to help, next time these people have a happy event at home, come and ask them to help, they can't refuse.

That is, now everyone is poor, and the funeral is mainly simple, which in later generations, there are often dozens of tables of guests at the funeral to eat, and it is absolutely not enough for such a few people to help.

In a small village with a small population, there is a rule that everyone knows, that is, if there is a white matter, the people in the village do not need to be invited, they must take the initiative to help, and the same is true for the people outside, even if it is far away, they must rush back to help.

If there are fewer people, things will not be done, because there are so many and miscellaneous things, there are people who carry coffins, set off firecrackers, cook, cook, buy vegetables, purchase daily necessities and miscellaneous items, wash dishes, set tables, pour tea, keep accounts, and so on.

As for the red event, it is a happy event such as going to school, getting married, and having a big birthday, there are a lot fewer restrictions, and you can be polite to no one, and if you need to find someone to help, the main family will personally invite someone to show your sincerity.

The rule in the village is that white things come uninvited, and red things don't come uninvited.

"Big brother, I don't care about anything else, but my mother's coffin, you have to take it out and let her use it."

"That's what she meant, she told us when we bought the coffin." Chen Lan pointed to Li Dazui, who was lying on the broken mat and his head and face covered by yellow paper.

When her mother bought the coffin, she also paid a piece of money, but now that the person is gone, she has not fulfilled any filial piety, and she gave the coffin to the old lady to come over, which is a part of her heart!

If Li Dazui can come back to life at this time, he must be spit out on this stinky and shameless face, when people are still alive, they look forward to you coming every day, even if they come back once, let her take a look!

Now that everyone is dead, what's the use of fighting for a coffin for her?

Chen Hao glanced at Chen Lan in embarrassment, and then looked at his daughter-in-law, Li Sanmei.

In the face of this sister, he has always felt that he is a head shorter than her, after all, Chen Lan married into the city, has completed the transformation of identity, and is a complete city person, at this time, the gap between urban and rural areas is like a world of difference, he will feel pressure, that is normal.

When Chen Hao faces this younger sister, he will feel short of breath, but Li Sanmei will not, she is Chen Lan's sister-in-law of this stinky girl, or the eldest sister-in-law, now Li Dazui is hanging, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, just scold her a few words, that is also for her good, she has this qualification.

"Sister, don't talk about the coffin, I don't know, your only mother, my mother-in-law is gone, how much funeral money do you plan to bring her?"

"Five or ten is not too little, and twenty or thirty is not too much."

"As her only daughter, at this time of day, it's not too much to scrub the old lady's body and change into slightly decent clothes, right?"

"I'm not forcing you to buy a shroud for the old lady, can you buy the more incense candles that you want to use tonight?"

I don't want to give anything at all, but I want to fill the kohlrabi here, how can it be so good.

If this sister-in-law gives them a dozen or twenty yuan, she will really put up with it, for the sake of money, give her a face, now she doesn't want to spend a penny, but she pretends to be more filial than anyone else, it's strange that she doesn't pick her skin.

Hearing this, Chen Lan's body stiffened, where did she still have money!

Since the eldest in the family married a daughter-in-law, her status in the family has fallen back a notch, not to mention anything else, when she comes back to mourn, her mother-in-law, who has always been "good" to her, is not at ease with her.

Before leaving, not only did she say a bunch of things like the water spilled by her married daughter, but she also told her husband to look at her and don't let her spend money lavishly.

In fact, they all think too much, for so many years, whether it is a man's salary or a child's salary, she has never touched it, she is a woman who washes and cooks at home, where does she get the money!

"Sister-in-law, now that the four olds are broken, I don't want to engage in feudal superstition, what is more fragrant, it is not good to be reported."

"I'm also doing this for the good of our family, my mother has offended a lot of people before, and now there must be people in the village staring at our family!"

"You can't be confused, take the initiative to hand the handle to others, if my mother knows, she won't be safe to go!"

Li Sanmei knew that this Chen Lan was not a good thing, and it would become a feudal superstition to let her buy some incense and candles, so how could she have the face to stand here and ask them to put Li Dazui in the coffin, if this is to be broken, it will be broken together!

"Oh, co-authoring to let your girl buy some incense and candles, it's feudal superstition, Lan girl, you don't know your face but don't know your heart, the old lady hurts you in vain."

"No wonder people say that the richer the person, the more they pick the door, whose daughter is empty-handed, and comes back to mourn without pulling out a dime! Today I have a long experience, and it is in vain that my mother-in-law loves you. ”

"Come on, if you don't have that heart, don't bother me here, go wherever you want!"
