A day after Li Jinshu returned home, her grandmother passed away in the hospital.
The family began preparing for the funeral.
This involved funeral costs and a host of other expenses.
Her grandmother had four children in total: three daughters and one son.
The three aunts argued that since they were married, their brother's family should cover the costs. They also wouldn't take any of the condolence money.
Li Jinshu's father, Li Huaiming, agreed, but his response was simple: he had no money.
So the whole family started pressuring Li Jinshu to pay for everything.
Li Jinshu had some money, and she couldn't bear the thought of her grandmother not being laid to rest properly. So, she reluctantly agreed and put up 100,000 yuan.
The plan was to use 30,000 for the funeral banquet, 20,000 for the funeral home's cremation and services, and the remaining 50,000 to buy a nice burial plot in a public cemetery.
