It was just after dinnertime and all the families were enjoying the breeze in their courtyards.
Many people came out to take a look when they heard the commotion.
"What's going on?"
"What Li family? Is it Qiao Mei's grandmother's family?"
"Eh, isn't this Zhao Hong, the granddaughter-in-law of the Li family from the neighboring village? Why is she in our village?"
"Aiyo, did she get chased out by the Li family?"
Someone recognized Zhao Hong and asked bluntly.
Zhao Hong's face was very red and she did not say anything.
The voice in the crowd continued to say, "Even if she is chased out, there's no need to go to Qiao Mei's house to beg for food, right? They're not even related!"
"That's right, that's right! This is quite awful."
These taunts made Zhao Hong's face turn red. She felt really awkward, especially since there were people she knew in the crowd.
She picked up her child and walked out the door.
