Chen Genzi rushed out like crazy, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Who do you think deserves to die! Who do you think deserves to die!!!"
He slammed into Hong Da with his head, The fierce force actually knocked Hong Da back several steps. He lost his balance and fell on the threshold of Chen Genzi's house. He was hit hard on the back of his head, making him grin in pain.
People in the courtyard stepped back for fear of being involved in the chaos. The scene got out of control for a time and the atmosphere became tense.
Aunt Wang whispered to Chen Wanbai from the side: "Xiaobai, we are in trouble now. The Hong brothers are not easy to mess with, I am afraid it will not be so easy to end."
Chen Wanbai frowned, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, wondering whether to continue watching the excitement or to retreat quickly.
After Hong Da fell, his eyesight turned black, and it took him a while to recover. He reached out and touched the back of his head, got up with a curse, and shouted: "Chen Genzi, you bastard! How dare you hit me!!"
After that, he picked up a stick beside him. The stick rushed towards Chen Genzi menacingly.
When Chen Genzi saw the stick in Hong Da's hand, his eyes were split open. At this moment, he didn't care how painful it would be if the stick hit his body, and rushed forward to grab the stick like crazy.
Sensing that the situation was not good, the relatives of the Chen family rushed forward one after another and pushed Hong Da down to the ground.
Chen Yan shouted angrily: "You Hong family boy, you are so impudent and bully the dead! Don't you know that the dead are the most important?"
Chen Genzi was able to take the stick back from Hong Da's hand, collapsed on the ground, and cried loudly for his mother.
The miserable appearance is really unbearable to look at.
"That Hong Da is as evil as that daughter-in-law. He even uses the paper money to beat people." Zhang Youdi clicked her tongue repeatedly.
"Isn't that right? To say the least, this old woman has a hard life, and she won't be able to live in peace even if she dies." Aunt Wang shook her head and sighed while looking at the excitement over there.
The so-called paper money is also a memorial, which can guide the soul of the deceased and guide it in the direction. According to the age of the deceased, take as many pieces of paper as you want, plus two more, which are called one piece of sky and one piece of earth - these papers are tied to a white hemp pole.
This stick-like object is usually three to five feet long, and is carried at the door according to the rules of men on the left and women on the right. On the night of picking up the three, the dutiful son burned the paper money.
(Note: The source of the data is "Folk Customs and Customs" in Volume 17 of "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes": "On the third day of the first mourning, a funeral card with money is hung outside the door, counting the life of the deceased, and one card is said to be every year. 'Pick money'.")
But now it was used by Hong Da to beat Chen Genzi, causing the papers to be scattered all over the floor, and the stick was also bare and nothing. No wonder Chen Genzi cried so heartbroken.
The atmosphere in the yard became increasingly tense. The Hong family members were still shouting, and the relatives of the Chen family were also staring angrily. At this moment, a calm and majestic voice sounded: "That's enough!"
Everyone turned around and saw Chen Yan, the village chief, walking over.
He took a deep breath and said in a calm voice: "Brothers of the Hong family, we are all fellow villagers, so if you have something to say, you should talk it over. But you are so outrageous that you don't even spare the dead! "
He glanced at Chen Genzi, then at the Hong family, and said in a bad tone: "Since you want an explanation, then take your sister away. As the head of the Chen family, I will. You can still make the decision on a small matter like divorcing your wife for a younger member of the family."
Chen Genzi had no reaction to this and just cried and cried for his mother while holding the stick.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Hong family was unhappy: "Why should we divorce our sister? She has worked as a cow and horse for the Chen family for so many years and she has given birth to several children!"

"Why? Why is she being unfilial!" Chen Yan felt angry and funny. In such a situation, she actually asked why.
When Hong Da heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily and said angrily: "You old man, don't bully others too much! My sister has done her best for your Chen family, and you just want to break up, what's the law of heaven? "
Chen Yan sneered and said: "What is the law of heaven? Your sister is doing evil in the Chen family and is not filial to her elders. Is this the law of nature? Brothers of the Hong family, I think you are bullying our Chen family for being generous and easy to talk to. How dare you act wild here!"
At this time, the female relatives of the Hong family also stepped forward and cried: "Head of the Chen family, we know that there is something wrong with our sister, but she was also beaten. I don’t know if I will live or die. The children can’t live without their mother, why would they go to such a state?”
Chen Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: “My Chen family is never afraid of trouble, but we won’t cause trouble today. If the Hong family continues to make trouble about this matter, don't blame me for being rude. I will go to your clan leader and discuss it carefully!"
The Hong family is not popular in the clan. , not only likes to take advantage of small things on weekdays, but the children in the family often sneak around, and have long been disliked by the tribe. If they really go to find the head of the Hong family, they might even be expelled from the family.
Hong Da and Hong Er looked at each other and instantly understood what the other meant. Hong Da glared at Chen Genzi fiercely, turned around and shouted to his family: "Let's go home! This Guhuai Village is just ganging up to bully us."
The Hong family's Although everyone was unwilling to do so, they also knew that if things got to this point, it would only be more embarrassing if they didn't leave. So, they left the yard in despair.
When I was leaving, I didn’t forget to pour all the food on the passing table into my bag.
The farce finally subsided, and Chen Yan glanced atChen Genzi, who was still sitting on the ground, shook his head helplessly, held his forehead and walked away slowly.
The villagers present began to talk about this gossip.
"Isn't this old lady unable to reincarnate?"
"My wife Genzi didn't light up the spotlight in time for Old Lady Zhang. She waited until Chen Genzi came back to light it up. , It’s already too late.”
Generally speaking, when a person dies, he or she needs to light a “portable lamp” at the feet of the deceased immediately to illuminate the deceased’s way to the underworld.
"Not only that, the moment Mrs. Zhang died, my wife started crying. Those tears fell straight on Mrs. Zhang's body."
"Look at my wife Genzi, she is determined not to let Mrs. Zhang reincarnate smoothly."
"Aunt Wang, what do you mean by this?" Chen Wanbai gently pulled Aunt Wang. sleeves and asked in a low voice.
Chen Wanbai knew about this portable lamp and the clothes. After all, he had been through some years and had participated in many funerals in the village in his previous life.
But she did not remember clearly the details of mourning. What she vaguely remembered was that relatives did not cry, and most of them paid to hire professional mourners. I cried so loudly and forcefully that I rhymed up and down, and I even rapped and sang, my heart was broken, but there were no tears.
The mourners may not cry tears, but they can usually stir up the atmosphere and allow the grieving family members to cry. Of course, what’s not sad is that no matter how much you listen to it, you still can’t cry.
Aunt Wang then explained to Chen Wanbai.
When the deceased has just passed away, the daughter or daughter-in-law will cry the "End of Breath Sutra"; when dressing the deceased, the daughter or daughter-in-law will sing the "Sutra of Buying Clothes", "Sutra of Clothing" and "Sutra of Longevity Shoes". ". When crying, tears should not fall on the deceased, because it is said that when King Yama sees tears on the deceased, he will turn them away, leaving the deceased with no place to stay in the underworld and suffering endless pain.
