On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

(Thanks to Amu for voting for 1 monthly ticket.)
Li Shiyang didn't think that Li Shiyue was such a filial person. Based on his understanding of Li Shiyue during their escape from famine, he knew that Li Shiyue was definitely not someone who would be willing to be led by the nose by others.

If this news could be spread, then it must be Li Shiyue himself who wanted to spread the news.

Li Youfu still underestimated Li Shiyue.

Although Li Youfu was not blind to the fact that Li Shiyue was able to fight and kill along the way, and of course he was also aware of Li Shiyue's ability to make friends with noble people like Yan Jiuniang and Liu Tan, Li Youfu still underestimated Li Shiyue.

That day, Li Shiyue asked him, "Does the Li family's ancestral hall allow women to enter?"

Li Youfu's silence was the answer.

Today, Li Shiyang presided over the funeral of many clansmen who died at the hands of Japanese pirates, but he still did not allow Li Shiyue to attend. Even though the bodies of these people were escorted back by Li Shiyue, they still abided by the so-called rule that "women cannot visit graves."

why?
Even if Li Shiyue is a capable girl, she is still a girl, a woman.

Yes, it’s that simple, just because Li Shiyue is a woman.

However, these were just things Li Shiyang was thinking about, and he would not tell these to Li Youfu.

Nowadays, the relationship between him and Li Youfu is only calm on the surface.

After all, it was he who deliberately let the Japanese pirates kill Li Wangren.

He did not deny this, and he had no way of denying it.

There is still Li Wangren's life between him and Li Youfu.

As for Li Shiyue?
Her luck was not good this time. She herself said that due to the wind and snow, the road was difficult to travel on. They did not return in the evening, but only in the middle of the night.

There was a coffin lying on the horse-drawn cart, which Li Wangming bought from Carpenter Tian at a high price.

After unloading the coffin into the yard, Li Shiyue pulled the horse into the stable. Li Xiatian, who had been waiting on the side, quickly poured the warm water into the trough.

Next to the water trough is a food trough, which is already filled with fodder including a lot of beans and wheat.

After seeing that the horses were well fed and drinking, and after checking the safety of the stable, Li Shiyue went into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, she felt the desired warmth.

At the door, Li Shiyue shook off the snow on his body, took off his coat and the fur hat wrapped around his head, then bent down to take off his shoes. His feet were really numb from the cold along the way.

"Hurry up, get on the kang and warm up, and drink this hot water quickly."

After being so busy, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

After lying down for only an hour in a daze, Li Shiyue got up again.

Today is the day to dig a grave and bury Li's father's coffin. This was a day that Li Wangming had calculated in advance, so he had to get up early and work.

As soon as Li Shiyue moved, Li Qiutian, who was sleeping with her, woke up. Li Shiyue half-sat up and put on her clothes, and Li Qiutian wanted to get up as well, but Li Shiyue held her down.

"Sister, don't get up. Shitou and I should go. Sister doesn't have to go. He doesn't deserve it!"

Seeing that Li Qiutian didn't move, Li Shiyue let go of her hand. After nodding at Li Qiutian, she got off the kang and left the room.

Li Wangming was already waiting in the main hall with a stone in his hand. Li's mother entered the room with food. After the four of them had eaten together, Li Shiyue opened the coffin and put in a set of Li's father's clothes that Li Wangming had chosen.

After closing the coffin lid, Li Wangming did not look for the coffin bearers. Even though he really wanted to build a cenotaph for his father, it did not mean that he had truly forgiven the fact that his father had killed his mother.

There was no one in the coffin, and the coffin was not made of any expensive wood, but just the most common pine wood on the mountain. It was enough for Shitou and Li Shiyue to lift it, one in front and one behind. In fact, Li Shiyue could also carry it in the middle by himself.

Li Wangming, wearing mourning clothes and carrying a basket, walked in front, while Li Shiyue and Shitou followed behind him, carrying the coffin.

Li's mother followed the three people with two shovels in her hand. In fact, Li Shiyue said that Li's mother didn't need to go, because she could carry the coffin on her right shoulder and hold the two shovels in her left hand.

But Li's mother was worried, so she followed the three people with two shovels in her hand.

After they were on the road, Li Wangming started to scatter paper money into the wind. When the wind blew, the paper money flew all over the sky, hitting Xuan'er.

The four of them walked towards the place that Li Wangming had chosen early in the morning. They walked in silence, with only the rustling sound of paper money flying in the wind.

Li Wangshui, who got up early and went out of the yard to sweep the fallen snow in front of the door, saw the paper money blown on the road. He suddenly looked up in the direction of the back mountain, and just then he saw Li Shiyue, who was carrying the coffin behind him, turning sideways and going up the mountain.

However, Li Wangshui did see Li's mother following behind.

Fortunately, Li Shiyue and Shitou were very strong and their chassis was stable, so they did not fall down while carrying such a heavy coffin.

By the time they arrived at the place chosen by Li Wangming, it was already bright and the snow had stopped.

After the snow stopped, we started to work. We shoveled the snow first, then cut down the trees that were blocking the view, dug up the tree roots and so on. It took less than half an hour to finish all the work.

Li Shiyue, who was resting with a shovel, felt someone looking at her from below. She turned around suddenly and met Li Wangshui's gaze.

She nodded at Li Wangshui, but since they were far apart, she didn't say anything.

After resting enough, Li Shiyue took out a tinderbox, dug a barrier, and lit a fire on this small piece of land.

Yes, they need to light a fire to warm the ground. It's already winter and there's accumulated snow. Li Shiyue and his team have just cleared the surface. If they want to dig deeper, they can just dig hard. But no matter how strong they are, there are only three of them and two shovels. How long will it take them?
The fire burned for more than an hour. There was too much water vapor and the area was filled with thick smoke. However, amid the choking smell, one could smell the scent of pine.

Li Shiyue was watching the fire from the side. People had to keep an eye on it. If the fire was blown sideways by the wind, they had to put it out quickly to prevent it from burning the forest.

However, at this moment, Li Shiyue was thinking: "It's a pity to burn this fire. If I can get some meat strips to smoke, I will have bacon to eat next year."

By the time the fire stopped and Li Shiyue and Shitou were digging and sweating profusely, it was already afternoon.

When the pit was dug deep enough to fit the coffin, many people from Lijia Village were already standing in the area halfway up the mountain. Li Shiyue could see that those standing in the front included Li Wangshui, Li Shiyang, Mazi, Gou Laosan and others.

Li Shiyue didn't care at all about people coming to watch them digging the grave. Just watch, there was nothing that couldn't be shown to others.

Because there were only two siblings, Li Shiyue calculated the location of Li's father's cenotaph and pushed it directly into the pit.

Put the coffin in and bury it in the earth.

In the afternoon, a grave mound began to take shape.

Li Wangming took out the white candles he had prepared in advance from the basket, as well as the tombstone he had carved himself over the past two days by staying up late. He bought the wood from Carpenter Tian.

Finally, Li Wangming knelt at the front, Shitou knelt on the left behind Li Wangming, and Li Shiyue knelt on the right. They kowtowed three times and lit incense, and the ceremony was completed.

No matter what Li Shiyue thinks in her heart, what she has done on the surface is enough. If anyone wants to blame her for Li's father's funeral in the future, they should think carefully about what to say.

When the four of them went down the mountain, the people from Lijia Village who had just seen Li Shiyue from halfway up the mountain were no longer there.

However, Li Shiyue believed them. They were probably at home talking about her scumbag father's cenotaph and how she went up the mountain to dig his grave.

"Let me see, who will be the first to say that I broke the rules?" (End of this chapter)
