Mr. Lin of the Lin family passed away, and everyone was overcome with grief, as tears flowed both inside and outside the house. The old patriarch had been ill for quite some time, which was especially prolonged as he neared his end, so the people of the village were well aware and many had come to offer their help.
At this time, the person who specialized in arranging funerals in others' homes, commonly known as the organizer, quickly stepped forward to take charge of Mr. Lin's funeral arrangements. At this point, the Lin family members were utterly distraught and relied entirely on the organizer to handle the situation.
Since the patriarch had been holding on for his grandson's return, the family was well aware of his condition and had already cleaned his body and dressed him in his burial clothes. However, the weather was hot, so the clothes outside were all left unbuttoned. Mr. Lin's coffin had also been prepared well in advance and was now placed in the shed outside.
