Chapter 263 Women who married out
"I won't read it anymore. What's the point of reading it? Damn it! I will always remember the crime that little notebook committed against me in my life. I will definitely take revenge when I get the chance. Take revenge severely!"

Wang Luo gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Yes, remember, let our descendants remember, and kill them when we have the chance!"

Gousheng came from that era and knew how cruel the Xiaobenzi were, and he hated them to the core.

"Let's go to the cemetery and pay tribute to these elders and fellow villagers!"

The two men tied the mule cart to a nearby tree and went to the tomb with the offerings.

"Wow, wow, wow, my parents, my brothers! I came to see you, why did you all leave, leaving me alone in this world!"

"Child, come and kowtow to your uncle!"

. . . . . .

When we were still some distance away from the mausoleum, we heard people talking and crying. It was the married girls coming to pay homage to their parents and brothers.

Actually, they no longer have their parents' home, and this mausoleum is the only spiritual sustenance for these married women. Even though Shandong Province is a very traditional and cultural province, according to the rules, they can only come to worship within three years after their parents' death, and are not allowed at other times.

But now there is no one in my mother's family, so no one follows this rule. At least we have to come to visit the graves of our relatives and add soil during the New Year and other festivals to prevent them from starving in the other world.

"Whose family are you from? Is your last name Li?"

When she saw Wang Luo, a stranger, coming over, with no mother following behind him but only a leftover dog, she thought that the men still alive in the village were her maiden family. The entire village was populated by people with the surname Li, and as long as there was a man with the surname Li alive, he could be considered the maiden family of these married women.

In the past, when he came back to celebrate the New Year, he usually came to pay homage when he was about to return to Beijing with his grandfather, so it was normal that he didn't know these women.

As soon as he came over, an old woman came over and asked questions.

"My last name is Wang Luo, and my mother's name is Li Lan. We are from Wangjia Village not far from here. We now live in the capital. It's the New Year, and I'm here to pay respect to my grandma, grandpa, and uncle at my mother's request!"

"It's Lan'er's son. I remember now. Your father's name is Wang Zhonghua, and he joined the army. Now you still have to call me great aunt. What a pity! I thought there were still living men in my Lijia Village!" As soon as the great aunt heard Wang Luo report Li Lan's name, she knew whose child it was. When the war was going on, Wang Zhonghua had been active nearby for many years. It can be said that almost all the villagers nearby knew him, and they had all helped them, whether it was in terms of supplies or saving the wounded.

However, she was obviously a little disappointed when she said this. If her surname was not Li, then those of them who married out would have no hope at all, as her natal family would be completely extinct.

Although the People's Republic of China was founded more than ten years ago and national policies strongly advocate "women hold up half the sky" and "gender equality", thousands of years of traditional rules are not so easy to change. Many traditional rules still occupy a major position in rural areas, not to mention the 60s, even before the 21st century, they were still engraved in the bones of many people!

Take divorce for example. Divorce is not uncommon after the 21st century. If one of the couple is unhappy or even has a quarrel, they may get divorced. The reasons for divorce are varied. After all, we live in a modern society. No one owes anyone anything. If you can't live together, just get divorced. It's not a big deal.

But before, divorce was a very shameful thing. Once you got divorced, no matter how many aunts and uncles you had, they would gossip about you behind your back. It would even become known to the neighbors. Your family members and even your uncles and brothers would feel ashamed, no matter if it was your fault or the other party's fault. This is the dregs of traditional culture.

Apart from divorce, a daughter who marries out no longer has her natal family. Even if she doesn't have a good relationship with her natal family, having a natal family and not having one are two different things.

With the support of my natal family, if I suffer any grievances in my husband's family, I just have to go home and tell my uncles and brothers at home. They will also save face and ask them why they bully us girls. Do you think we have no one in my natal family? All of them will come forward and organize a large number of people to support me. Fighting and swearing are common occurrences, and the public security bureau can't do anything about it.

What will happen to a woman without her own family? The in-laws will be sensible and think that the girl has a hard time. They will raise the daughter-in-law as their own daughter and take good care of her. If the son and daughter-in-law fight, they will first blame their son.

But there are some who are not like this. They think that if they don't have a mother's family, they will be bullied. Fighting and beating are commonplace. If the husband is strong, he will take his wife's side. If the husband is not good, then the woman is doomed. Many of them hang themselves, take medicine, and their lives are extremely miserable.

It can be said that the maternal family is the backing of these people who marry out. When the great aunt heard that Wang Luo was not surnamed Li and was not from her maternal family, she felt particularly disappointed.

"Hello, great aunt. My father's name is Wang Zhonghua. In the past, he only came here to pay respects before going to Beijing. This year, he had nothing to do and came here on the second day of the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect to meet you, but the dead cannot be resurrected. We still have to live well. The elder still needs to persuade you. Crying in such a cold weather is not good for your health. I believe that the deceased would not want you to be like this!"

Wang Luo greeted her, pointed at the woman who was lying on the grave crying heartbreakingly and said to the great aunt.

"Xiao Luo, you should call that person aunt, she is of the same generation as your mother. Sigh, she is such a pitiful person. There is no one left in our Lijia Village now, completely extinct. When we are gone, who will remember this Lijia Village? There will be no one to worship during the New Year and other festivals, and those people underground will become lonely ghosts.

Those of us who are still alive and married out have a miserable life. Without our natal family, we have to be very careful in everything we do at our husband's house, for fear that something might go wrong or the mother-in-law will bully us however she wants. Because we have no help from our natal family, we are not strong enough and have to endure so many cold stares and scoldings at home.

Your aunt is like this. She married into Pangjiazhuang. She is over 40 years old and has given birth to seven children, all of whom are girls. Not a single male child. Her husband's family said that she had brought misfortune to her parents and brothers. Now they are trying to wipe out her husband's family. They either beat her or scold her. But what can she do? This is what it is like without her family. She has to accept whatever they say. She has to swallow her tears when she is beaten and scolded. She dares not cry. The more she cries, the more severe the beatings and scoldings become. Only today did she sneak out and come here to lie on the grave and cry loudly to vent her anger!"
