A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

In addition to wanting Zhang Lan's mother to step in and stop the old lady from moving the grave, Li Haimei also wanted Zhang Lan's mother to mention to the old lady that some things are just fine if they are done moderately. If they are too excessive, don't blame the two daughters for shirking responsibility when things happen in the future.

The main issue was raising money. It was more than 200,000 yuan. Li Haimei and Li Yumei had calculated the amount privately. It was easy to say for the old lady's nephew among the relatives, as he should pay for the relocation of the ancestral grave, but even the niece might not be able to make sense.

Because now, apart from Zhang Lan's third aunt, there are not many elderly people left in the family. Even those who are still alive, like Zhang Lan's grandfather, are in their eighties and almost nineties.

For an elderly person of this age, it is very good if he can take care of himself. How many are like Zhang Lan’s third aunt, who is still bothered by the ancestral grave at her old age?

But then again, even at this age of the old lady, almost 90, she is the only one of her generation who can still make a phone call, and although her speech is sometimes confused, she is still sober most of the time.

Therefore, the younger generations all give the old lady face. No matter what happens, as long as they can save face, they won't say anything to her face.

For example, Zhang Lan's father, a few years ago, went to Xiangshi with Zhang Lan's uncle to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady's family. At that time, Zhang Lan's third uncle was still alive, and Zhang Lan's family was also very ordinary.

Uncle Zhang Lan's home was also very ordinary. When we arrived at the old lady's house for lunch, the old lady prepared two tables of dishes because there were many relatives visiting for the New Year.

The inner room had a table with eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes and soup, while the outer room had only cold dishes and big pot dishes. After that, Zhang Lan's father and uncle never went to the old lady's house again.

In addition to being son-in-law, the old lady was also a snob. After this incident, except for Zhang Lan and her mother who visited her once a year, Zhang Lan's father and uncle never visited her again.

Later, at the funeral of Zhang Lan's third great-uncle, Zhang Lan's uncle showed up. But even so, except for the gifts and the burial, he stayed outside the village for the rest of the time.

Favoring sons over daughters is a common thing in Zhang Lan's hometown. A family must have a son, and not having a son is shameful. So, they desperately want to have a son, no matter how many daughters they have, they must have a son.

If they really can't have a child, they will buy one anyway. Sons are their lifeblood, while daughters will get married and sooner or later belong to someone else's family. Therefore, parents dote on their sons in every way, treat them as treasures, and are willing to spend all their money on them, just to have someone to rely on when they are old.

It was only in recent years, with the emergence of a large number of only children, that things started to change. Later, after the policy was relaxed, basically every family that could have a second child had one.

If the first child is a son, then the idea is to have another child for companionship. If the first child is a daughter, forget it.

However, relatively speaking, among Zhang Lan's parents' generation, the probability of favoring sons over daughters is 50-50, but the generation before that mostly favors sons over daughters.

In the eyes of the older generation, the root cause of favoring boys over girls is that in the old society, families with few children were often bullied and even their entire families were wiped out.

Zhang Lan's mother didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Li Haimei strongly asked Zhang Lan's mother to call Zhang Lan over.

The reason for calling Zhang Lan over was that the old lady was particularly superstitious, and some of Zhang Lan's words, given his status, were almost like an imperial decree to the old lady.

Although the old lady believed in some supernatural powers, she said that she was not Buddha and not Tao. She said all day that she could see some unclean things, such as lying on your back, smiling at you in front of you, behind your door, etc.

But in recent years, whenever the old lady encountered any problem, she liked to ask her two daughters or herself to call Zhang Lan's mother and ask her if there was anything going on at home or if Zhang Lan had violated any law.

The reason for not calling Zhang Lan directly was that Zhang Lan’s phone was often unreachable or no one answered, so I didn’t call her very often later on.

Also, in recent years, whenever Zhang Lan went to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, she would ask all the questions that the old lady had accumulated over the year.

You should ask carefully about what went wrong at what time last year, and whether there is anything unpleasant at home.

To be honest, Zhang Lan and Zhang Hu's family also contributed to the relocation of the grave this time. After Zhang Hu's father Zhang Dajiang moved Zhang Lan's grandfather's grave, Zhang Hu was unlucky for a while. Later, after the grave was leveled again, in Zhang Dajiang's eyes, Zhang Hu's future development was much better than before.

Therefore, Zhang Dajiang would often brag among his relatives about his wise decision. As for the unfortunate events that happened after Zhang Hu moved the grave, Zhang Dajiang explained that he did not calculate the time and direction correctly, so he had to endure a disaster.

The old lady believed it and even called Zhang Dajiang several times just to find a good place.

What can I say about Zhang Lan's third great uncle? She is feudal, superstitious, and believes in everything.

For example, she bought some gadgets from a roadside stall and wore them around her neck, claiming that they had magical powers and were blessed. At first glance, they were three-no products. I don’t know how the vendor fooled her. If anyone dared to laugh at the old lady, she would get angry. But it was just a few dollars, so no one cared about her.

Also, when eating together, she tried her best to stop other people at the table from eating meat, saying that whatever they eat will determine their next life.

After no one paid attention to her, after a while, perhaps because she was greedy, she started eating, saying that it was okay as she didn't do it and that the Buddha would not blame her. In fact, no one asked her at all. The old lady was just talking to herself and trying to find a way to save face.

Because the old lady opposed eating meat and preached superstitious things at the dinner table, when we went to her house to pay New Year's greetings the next year, none of the relatives stayed to eat.

Then the old lady asked her son Haigen: "Why don't you eat here this year? Isn't it a waste to prepare so much at home?"

Her son Li Haigen was an honest man. He smiled and said nothing after hearing the old lady's question. As a result, his daughter-in-law, who was not happy with the old lady, said, "They dare not come. They are afraid of being retaliated by the gods after eating our meat."

As a result, because of what her daughter-in-law said, the old lady kept calling all the relatives and friends who came to her house that day, asking them if they looked down on the food in her house.

In the end, there was no choice but for the two daughters and son-in-law to clean up the mess. The two daughters each brought their families home for lunch around noon.
