Chapter 557: Widow’s Land(2/2)
I have to bury her in a widow's field, how can I be worthy of my sister-in-law?"
I know what He Shun is thinking, and I also know that he is a man who repays his kindness! Widow He raised him, so she is half his mother. It is human nature for him to keep filial piety to Widow He. But he
Being rejected makes me feel uncomfortable and feels sorry for my sister-in-law, which is understandable.
I thought about it and asked, "He Shun, what kind of place is Maguoshan, the Widow's Land? Is it any different? Why did we just hear you say that after being buried in the Widow's Land, your sister-in-law would be unhappy?"
Rest in peace!”
He Shun said, "Ma Tuo Mountain is the cemetery designated by the eight villages here. In addition to our village, people from seven other villages are buried in that place. That place was designated by the Feng Shui master here.
Son, that place is good. Anyone who died of normal old age or a male can be buried there. If you are buried in that place, you can put it in a coffin and erect a monument for future generations to remember. Who do you think?
Who doesn’t want his descendants to remember him when he dies? Who doesn’t want his own coffin when he dies?”
"So, where is the widow's land?" I looked at He Shun curiously and asked.
He Shun sighed and said, "The widow's land is used to bury widows and women who died before they were married! In the village, as long as there are no children and the husband dies first, he is considered to be an unlucky person, carrying evil spirits. This
When a person dies, he cannot be put into a coffin, nor can his body be buried in the ground. He can only carry it to the dense forest behind the village and throw it away. After throwing it away, most of the corpses were eaten by wild beasts, and the corpses were all eaten.
You said, can I still rest in peace? So, how can I bear to watch my sister-in-law who raised me die without even a grave..."
This is really a cruel custom! It also reflects the village’s ideological concept of favoring boys over girls! In their minds, a woman’s vocation may only be to work and give birth to children. If she cannot give birth to children, it means that the woman is carrying a child.
Those with evil spirits cannot even be buried in the grave!
