Chapter 264 I understand Yi Zhonghai a little bit
"When we get old, none of our relatives will be able to come over. What a hateful little book! Our lives are so miserable!"

As my great aunt spoke, she kept wiping away her tears.

My goodness, after he said this, Wang Luo finally realized what the reality was. The old ideas have always existed. No wonder Yi Zhonghai would do anything to support an elderly person. Not only did he cheat Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e, he also cheated their children. Look at them now, damn, there is really no human rights at all.

Regarding "eating up the whole family", there are different explanations in different places. The most popular one is that after a couple dies without any children, the land, houses, gold and silver treasures they bought during their lifetime will be occupied by the village gentry. The land and houses will be sold and exchanged for silver. Then the gentry will use the silver to hold a banquet in the village and entertain every household in the village.

Since the deceased has no descendants, they will not be held accountable. And every family left in the village has benefited, and will not say anything. So even if the money is used up, no one will raise any objections. Only after the family's savings are used up, the villagers will leave contentedly. This behavior is called "eating up the entire family."

Of course, another explanation is that the husband died, the family had no pillar, and the wife and children were bullied by the husband's relatives and neighbors. The ancients attached great importance to the concept of family. Once a family member died, his property might even be confiscated by the family.

If the deceased's wife's family is powerful, the family will not dare to bully them openly. But if his wife's family is just an ordinary family with few people, some ambitious people in the family will try to divide up the deceased's inheritance and drive the orphans and widows out of the family. This behavior also belongs to "eating up the whole family". But they will not distribute the money they get to irrelevant people, but divide the benefits among relatives and friends.

The famous Heshen and his brother were almost driven out to the streets to beg for food by their relatives after their father died. Fortunately, the doorman and one of his father's concubines sheltered the two brothers, so they were spared and did not starve to death on the streets. At that time, Heshen's relatives and friends had the idea of ​​eating up the whole family. So eating up the whole family is not just about having no descendants. Even if there are descendants but they are young, they may still be eaten up. As for families without sons, they will also be ridiculed by neighbors as "extinct families", which is one of the reasons why the ancients valued sons over daughters and "passed down property to sons but not daughters".

In addition, there is a more cruel truth: the extinction of a family is caused by relatives. For example, an old couple gave birth to three sons. The eldest son was honest and worked hard to make a living by farming. The second son had a son and a daughter, and they also lived on one acre and three mu of land. The second son was smart and good at business, and accumulated a lot of wealth. Unfortunately, he only gave birth to a daughter. The third son was idle, but he had two sons.

In order to get the second son's property, the third son might team up with the eldest son to kill the second son. Once the second son dies, women in ancient times did not have the right of inheritance, and the second son's property and house would be occupied by the third son and the eldest son. The second son's wife and daughter would be driven out by them. If they were more cruel, they would even find a reason to kill the mother and daughter. This is a cruel truth of the ancient "eating up the whole family".

Even in the 21st century, the situation of "eating up the whole family" still exists. For example, some DINK families have no offspring, so their closest blood relatives are very likely to become the heirs. Some people are even asked by their relatives in their s or s to transfer the house to their children's names, and they call it "supporting the elderly and seeing them off to the end of their lives." Some morally corrupt people even hope that these DINK relatives will die early so that they can inherit the property.

Haha, no wonder Li Jun advised Wang Luo when he was targeting Yi Zhonghai. If he hadn't experienced some things, he really wouldn't know. Now he understands Yi Zhonghai, even if Yi Zhonghai was a bastard before and did things that were not decent, but he still understands it. That was in the capital, an internationally famous city under the feet of the emperor. What's more, in the remote mountain villages in Shandong Province, such thoughts are even more serious.

Wang Luo was immediately annoyed when he heard this. This was unacceptable. It was pitiful enough that the women who married out had their families killed by Xiao Benzi. It was unacceptable that they were humiliated and made difficult for by their mother-in-law. Moreover, they did not want this to happen. It was all Xiao Benzi's fault. Xiao Benzi was bad, but the people in the mother-in-law's family were even worse. These women were relatives. He had to take care of this matter, for the living and the dead. Otherwise, his title of Flying Knight would be in vain.

"Grandma, this kind of thing actually happened. Damn it, it's bullying, too much bullying. If I hadn't encountered it, it would be fine, but today I encountered it, and I have to take care of it. My mother is also from this village. So, you are my elders. Today I will make the decision for you and go to meet your in-laws to support you!"

Wang Luo was so angry that he punched the tree and shouted angrily.

"Xiao Luo, your great aunt thanks you on behalf of all the women from our Lijia Village who married out. But what can you do at such a young age? The situation is very complicated. It won't last a lifetime. Just bear with it and it will pass. Forget it, forget it!"

The great aunt was very happy about Wang Luo's righteous words, but he was too young, even if he came from the capital. The clan concept was too strong here. If Wang Luo was really asked to go over to support them, the great aunt was really afraid that he would suffer. If something happened, it would be unfair to Li Lan.

"What do you mean just bear with it? Zulong also said that women hold up half the sky. What era is this? Why are you still using the idea of ​​eating up the whole family and favoring sons over daughters? Don't look at my young age, I'm quite capable. I can solve the problem for you without my parents stepping in. If you don't let me help, and this gets to my mother's ears, she'll probably scold me to death. Wait, after I finish paying homage to my grandma and grandpa, tomorrow, I'll go door to door to the in-laws of your elders and talk to them about the truth. Let them know that the women in Li Village have supporters behind them."

"My uncle Luo calls you aunt grandma, so I should follow his way of addressing you and call you great aunt grandma. You should be at ease. My uncle Luo asked for help, so I will help. Don't look at his young age, he is very capable. His master is the famous Li San from the Swallow Gate of Jinan Prefecture. Master Li is a famous figure in our Lu Province. Who doesn't know him?
Now my Uncle Luo has learned his skills and those of many other masters. We are isolated here, and you don't know how powerful my Uncle Luo is. Everyone in Beijing knows him. He can kill a tiger and a black bear with his bare hands. He also helped us kill a wild boar before the New Year, all with his bare hands.

It was even reported in the newspapers and received by Zulong. When Zulong saw my uncle, he would call me Little Luo the Great Hero Wang. Even so, do you think he can suffer any loss? Who dares to fight him? Do you think he has lived too long? "

Goushengzi proudly explained to the great aunt some of the things that Wang Luo had done.
