Chapter 24 - 5_2
Because the daughters did not receive any inheritance, the care for the elderly parents and their funeral arrangements only required physical presence and effort, not money.
However, it was quite unorthodox for the third sister of the Niu family to also want to arrange a funeral ritual for her deceased mother... Even the greatest filial piety should not be exhibited this way; this could be discussed if there were only sisters and no male offspring in the family, but she had two older brothers.
Liu Jinxia's eyelids drooped as she spoke:
"This can be managed as well. Since everyone wants to be the main family in charge, then act as the main family. Borrow a spot at the communal dam in your village, set up three sacrificial tables, place three sets of longevity gifts, and burn three copies of the Blood Scripture."
Niu Fu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can...can we really do that?"
Liu Jinxia nodded, "Yes, do it together at one place, so your mother won't have to be divided among different places. Your brother Ruihou gave me his family's birthdays yesterday, give me yours today, and also notify your sister to send hers in the next two days, so I can start preparing."
Originally, one ritual would cost one payment, but now it had turned into one ritual with three payments. Liu Jinxia was going to earn from this.
Niu Fu hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, "Then let's do it that way, I'll go back and talk to them, and we'll handle it together."
"Mm, after all the birthdays are provided, I'll set a specific date for you."
"Quickly." Niu Fu urged, "We must hurry."
"I understand." Liu Jinxia nodded, signaling him not to worry, then she stood up to see the guest out.
