Then came the clattering noises from inside the house.
Aunt Lan Hua knew it was Yang Dong rummaging through the place, her heart was in her throat, fearing he might find the Silver she had just hidden.
While worrying, she cried out, "Oh my heavens, the Yang Family is bullying us, they're going to take my life!"
"How could we have thirty taels? How could you forcefully break off the engagement? You're robbers!"
Aunt Lan Hua was held down by Yang Gang and his wife, unable to break free, she could only wail.
Seeing more and more villagers gathering in the courtyard to watch, Aunt Lan Hua could only plead for help, "Fellow villagers, the Yang Family is openly robbing us, you can't stand by and watch, please help stop them."
But Aunt Lan Hua's cries for help didn't move any of the villagers; they all just stood there watching the spectacle.
