Su Nanzhi took Zhuang Yuanshuang back to Mr. Xie's territory.
A group of chattering children followed behind them.
Mr. Xie's place was guarded by armed bodyguards at night.
Su Nanzhi took Zhuang Yuanshuang through the back door and returned to the room in just a few minutes. In the house where Zhuang Yuanshuang had stayed, a child began to cry from hunger, and for quite a while, no one responded.
With curses, a man reluctantly got up to check and discovered his wife was gone.
Only a little whelp was there, crying.
The man immediately ran to call his parents. Upon hearing that the woman had run away, leaving her child behind, they too got up quickly and started to bang on the bronze gong.
In the village, kerosene lamps were soon lit in every household.
The man and his parents shouted that the woman had run off.
The village's continued existence, to a large extent, had to do with their unity.
