Sister-in-law Liu was the first to lose her temper.
She lunged forward and grabbed Dong Aniu by the collar.
"Aren't you just being a shameless rogue? Grandma Qin, are you going to do something about him or not? If you won't, then we have our own ways to deal with him!"
Dong Aniu had borrowed firewood, cotton quilts, and even some expensive jewelry from the villagers.
Now, his simple claim that he "lost it all" was the last straw for everyone.
The villagers clamored, "That's right, we'll handle him ourselves!"
"Let's drag him out and beat him! See if he'll cough it up then."
Scared, Dong Aniu covered his head and hid behind Grandma Qin.
"Auntie! You can't just ignore me. Don't you forget, back when you were having a hard time, my mother often had my little sister secretly bring you food."
Grandma Qin closed her eyes, her hand tightly gripping the Cloud Pattern Walking Stick that Shen Ningning had bought for her.
