Mrs. He Zhou motioned for the He Family to quickly catch up with the team while waving over her clansmen. "Brothers of the clan, these people are trying to claim kinship with us halfway down the road. Hurry up and take a look—does anyone know them?"
"Tuping's mother, if you don't even recognize your own relatives, who else could possibly claim kinship with you?"
"But I don't know them either!" Mrs. He Zhou exclaimed. "They just jumped out and insisted we're related by marriage. Seeing how big and burly they are, I was just afraid they'd bully a poor widow and her son."
"Mrs. He Zhou, you've been harping on about being a 'poor widow and her son' for decades. You have a daughter-in-law and grandsons now, so you really can't call yourself that anymore.
"As for you young men, why are you blocking the road? Are you trying to stir up trouble with our Geda Village?"
Although everyone was complaining verbally, when push came to shove, they naturally stood by their own people.
