Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 821
Dawei was tired of listening to these words.
Seeing that the militia had taken Liu Wenhu away, the evil neighbours didn’t dare to make any other moves and quietly slipped away.
Lin Lan shouted, “Whoever took an item, you’d better return them quickly, otherwise, it will be considered burglary. If caught, you will at least be sent to the labour camp or get shot in the worst case!”
Domestic burglary was different from theft. The crime of being a domestic burglar was punishable with the firing squad!
The people’s facial expressions changed. Some quickly put down their things quietly and those who had already taken those possessions home quickly brought them back and quietly left them at the gate of the yard.
The group of people who followed Lin Lan shouted, “Wu Caixian, quickly count your things and see if there are any missing. If something is missing, ask the Director of the Public Security Bureau to investigate and take them back one by one. How is it okay to practically rob someone? How do you all expect us to sleep with unlocked doors every night?”
Wu Caixian thanked the people again and again.
Wu Caixian didn’t expect Lin Lan to speak on her behalf many times. Thinking of the time when she followed Old Lady Wu to settle accounts with Lin Lan back then, all she wanted was to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lin Lan didn’t notice that at all. At that time, she only paid attention to Zhao Guixiang and her sister. The women who followed the flag-waving and shouting weren’t paid any attention at all.
The Brigade Leader presided over the funeral issue, “There is no need to keep the body for a few days, so hurry up and put on mourning clothes. Tomorrow morning, the Brigade Team will help you carry him out for the funeral.”
The excretions of a recently dead person were hard to handle and quite dirty. Generally, the person would have to be washed and put on clothes. Their faces should also be covered with a piece of paper so that they could leave in a decent manner.
Fortunately, the busy farming season had passed and everyone had time. Those who were brave enough could help Wu Caixian deal with it. Some people in the countryside didn’t really mind things like these.
Wu Caixian cried so hard that her eyes were swollen like peaches. She wiped her tears and said, “I haven’t made the coffin yet and there is nothing to place inside. If I bury it like this, it will merely be dug up by wild dogs.”
At this time, bodies were not cremated. All dead people were buried directly in the cemetery. However, the ancestral tomb in the village only belonged to the Han family. The Liu family had no so-called ancestral tomb. Most people were buried in the wastelands or somewhere else after death. Some people even had no place to bury the body, so they would only quietly carry it to someone else’s private plot in the middle of the night to bury it.
This also made it easy for stray dogs or other animals to dig the body out and eat it.
Wu Caixian’s family didn’t have time to prepare a coffin. At a time like this, a coffin was not cheap. Some poor families would only be able to roll up a broken quilt and bury the body in it. Some families who couldn’t even afford a quilt would roll it up with a broken mat. Her family was not that poor, but there was no ready-made wood to make a coffin. After all, almost everything was collective at that time.
