Kuiyuan was adopted by the Hu family, but he hadn't stamped his name yet, so he wasn't considered a formal family member, so he was buried in Maqiao.One of his younger brothers, who was married to Fang Ying from Pingjiang County on the other side of the Luojiang River, rushed back after hearing the news and cried loudly in front of his younger brother's coffin.She didn't attend the Eye Opening, and she never accepted a penny from Yanwu's family.Not only that, she also said that Kuiyuan was not allowed to go down to the soil, guarded in front of the tomb, and no one was allowed to hoe.She asked a few people to help, erected the coffin high, and blocked it with a few rocks.

This is called "Qi Shi", Qi means standing, pronounced jin. Qi Shi is a way of expressing grievances in order to attract the attention of the public and officials.The stones pressed around the coffin indicate that the injustice is as heavy as a mountain.If the coffin stands upright, it expresses the determination not to die in peace until the grievances are revealed.No matter what others say, Fang Ying firmly believes that his younger brother died unjustly, and was killed by Yan Wu's gang. She also threatened in the village that she would reward 10,000 yuan to anyone who helped her brother Kui Yuan to redress his wrongdoing.If she doesn't want money, that's okay. She can be a wife on a one-year contract, and she will do housework and have babies within a year. She doesn't need any wages.Just return her body after one year.
