The story of Xianglinsao

1. Before the Revolution of 1911, the widowed Xianglinsao heard that her mother-in-law wanted to sell her and went to Luzhen overnight to help her husband, who spared no effort to please his wife. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law took her away and married He Laoliu. He Laoliu was honest and kind. When she died of illness, she went to collect money to pay off her debts. Her son was also eaten by wolves, so Sister Xianglin returned to Master Lu's house.

She was afraid that Yan would dismember her body after her death, so she donated one year's salary to the threshold of the land temple. When she hurried to offer sacrifices in the evening of blessing, the unfair treatment of Lujia gave her a heavy blow, so she was depressed and absent-minded and was driven out as a beggar. On a blessed night, she died in the snow.

2. The reason why Luzhen is cold: She tells people about her misfortune endlessly, almost to everyone, which makes people impatient. She was taken on from the beginning, and she knew that her sadness had been chewed up and she could only spit out the dregs.
