My brother treated you well when he was alive, how could you be so cruel? You didn't even take his body after he died. You want him to die with regrets!"
Kneeling beside the old woman was a man in his thirties, who was tall and strong, but now he looked like a young wife.
While wiping away tears, she cried out in a sobbing voice: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother have been married for several years after all!
After all these years of ups and downs, do you have the heart to let my brother lie alone in the Public Security Bureau without even anyone to see him off to his grave?"
The sister-in-law also followed suit, shouting at the top of her voice: "Sister-in-law, just do some good deeds!
My brother has never done anything wrong in his life, so how come he has to have a wife like you!
Please be kind and give my brother a peaceful life, let him pass away with dignity, don't let him die in such a miserable way, he will be laughed at in the underworld!"
But no matter how they cursed, cried, or begged, the door of the small building was like a little mute, and did not say a word.
Seeing no one paying any attention, the old woman got even more excited. She shouted until her voice was hoarse, and she kept cursing: "Du Meijuan, you heartless thing, you will get retribution! Sooner or later, God will punish you!"
Her grandchildren were frightened by the scene and burst into tears. Some of them hugged their grandmother's legs, and some rolled on the ground. The situation was out of control for a while.
The whole family was crying and making a fuss at the door. The neighbors who had gathered to watch the fun had already surrounded them in three layers, just like a big market. Everyone was pointing and talking.
In the crowd, there was an old man wearing a sweatshirt and waving a palm-leaf fan. He stretched his neck and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, what's this song?
Someone died, why are the doors closed and no one is announcing the funeral? "
A woman holding a child next to her was coaxing the child while pouting and talking.
"What else could it be? It must be that the daughter-in-law did something immoral and pissed off the old lady and her family!
Haven't you heard that she even refused to take her husband's body? Her heart is more poisonous than that of a snake or scorpion!"
A dark-skinned young man in a vest stood on tiptoe to peek inside, muttering, "Du Meijuan is such a piece of shit. She always looks so mean and sarcastic.
Now, she's ruined someone's family, and she's just hiding in there as a pimp!"
There are many people who like to gossip in the crowd, and their voices can still be heard from far away.
"If you ask me, this Du Meijuan is a jinx. Ever since she entered the Wang family, there has been no peace in the Wang family.
Maybe her husband was killed by her, and now they won't even take his body. What a sin!"
"That's right, she's so cruel, isn't she afraid that her husband's ghost will come to settle the score with her in the middle of the night?" Another auntie followed suit.
After saying this, he shook off the goose bumps on his body, as if he had seen Wang Qi's ghost crawling out to settle the score with Du Meijuan!
"Hmph, let me tell you, the Wang family is unlucky. They married a daughter-in-law like this, and their good family was ruined by her.
When she dies, she won’t be allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb!!”
An old lady with wrinkles all over her face said this viciously, with a look in her eyes as if she wanted to eat Du Meijuan alive.
This group of people were swearing at each other in a very ugly way, and they directed all their sarcasm, harshness and vulgarity at a stranger who had nothing to do with them.
It was as if Du Meijuan had committed a huge crime and should be condemned and cursed by thousands of people.
A woman with a face full of flesh couldn't stand it any longer. She spat and cursed at these people:
"You know nothing! That Wang Qi is nothing but a beast, he deserves death!
He just beats his wife every day. He beat Du Meijuan so hard that there is not a single piece of good flesh left on her body. Everyone in the neighborhood knows this!
The body was covered with bruises, it was heartbreaking to look at!
This kind of man, after his death, still asks his wife to collect his body, it's such a joke!
If I were Du Meijuan, I would just burn his body instead of leaving it there to bring bad luck. It's disgusting just to look at it!"
Among the crowd of onlookers, there were a few nosy people who loved to meddle in other people's business and fight for justice. They could no longer hold back and rolled up their sleeves, pointing at the family who were crying and wailing.
He started cursing at the top of his voice, "Hey! I say, your family is really interesting!
Why are you crying out here instead of collecting the dead body? What's the matter? Isn't Wang Qi a family member of yours? Can't you just go collect the body?
So you came here specifically to bully this orphan and his widow? Have you got any shame?
A tall, thin old woman nearby also joined in the fun, saying in a sarcastic tone, "We're just here to put on a show!
Those two old men had often caused trouble for their daughter-in-law before, and even said that she was not worthy of him as a college student!
Now that your gold nugget has been returned to you, why don’t you take it home quickly?
Don't you know which way the Public Security Bureau entrance is? You just keep howling?"
"From what I can see, they're just afraid of spending money! The police want salvage fees, corpse storage fees, cleaning fees, and so on. This family is so broke, how can they dare to claim them?
They just put all the blame on their daughter-in-law, expecting her to clean up the mess. What a shameless bunch of people!"
A woman with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was explaining things to everyone in a shrill voice: "When Wang Qi was alive, he was not a good man. He beat his wife all the time.
His parents thought they had a son who would become a section chief, and they often came to negotiate with their daughter-in-law. The Women's Federation of the candy factory had no idea how many times they had come to mediate!
