Many widows in Dadu City who have been living their days guarding their husbands' memorial tablets felt tempted after hearing the news, and they explored the possibility of remarriage.
There is still a difference between the couples of poor families and those of nobles. Most poor families engage in blind marriages, and throughout their lives, strive for livelihood and lineage. The number of couples who develop deep feelings for each other, living and dying together, is not many.
Even if couples have affection, men find days hard to endure without a companion after the wife's death, and thus tend to remarry. In contrast, women are expected to remain chaste until death after their husband's passing. Many women feel indignant but have no choice.
