In the countryside, many people couldn't afford cotton clothes in winter and could only hide at home without going out. Extremely cold weather could easily lead to illness or even freezing to death.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Yuan Liuwang asked.
"The things to pay attention to? Well, there indeed are. Some clothes, stripped from dead bodies, you can also buy, but you must remember not to mix them up. Then sell them to those who are not wealthy but are quite filial and want to dress their parents in something nice. You can tidy them up and sell them to coffin shops, but that's somewhat inauspicious, better forget about it!" Xie Zhinuan shook her head.
But in fact, many wealthy families would often burn such clothes or bury them directly; it was rare for them to sell them.
