Those who die a violent death are not allowed back in the village.
This was a rule passed down by word of mouth from the older generations.
For someone like Hu Guangmin, they could only build a mourning shed outside the village and hold the rites there.
In the past, for prominent families, there was an even stricter rule: those who died violently could not be buried in the ancestral tomb.
This was something that couldn't be changed. Even if Jiang Jianshe agreed, the other villagers would not.
But this was just too cruel for Hu Guangjun. As his brother-in-law, Yang Mantang simply couldn't bring himself to say it.
Just as Yang Mantang returned from seeing Jiang Jianshe off, Zhao Jun came out of the inner room and said to him, "Brother, Baoyu and I will leave a little later. We'll stay and help out."
Here, Zhao Jun paused before adding, "I want to see Guangmin, too."
"Brother, thank you so much." Yang Mantang gripped Zhao Jun's hand tightly in gratitude.
