Zhang Yupan was stubborn too.
The people around her, seeing her attitude, knew they couldn't persuade her.
So, they stopped trying.
Only, from afar, Erniu watched with great distress in his heart.
My dear wife, once this is all over, I will repay you properly.
Erniu stayed up in the tree, waiting until today's rituals had come to an end.
And after the funeral was over.
Zhang Yupan insisted on settling all her sisters and sent away every villager who had come to help.
The women who had come to mourn for Erniu also left reluctantly.
None of the women left Canglong Village.
They went to the factory dormitories, unable to part with Erniu.
Even though Erniu was gone, they still couldn't bear to leave Canglong Village.
And Zhang Yupan, who had not shed a single tear during these days.
Once she was alone in the house.
She shut the door and walked into the bedroom.
Looking at the desolate home.
Erniu liked to go out and have fun before.
