"Aunt San! Aunt San!"
Jinbao ran up the hill out of breath, shouting as he ran, "The village chief is calling everyone to the ancestral hall for an important meeting and sent me to fetch you!"
Earlier, Liu Qi had already taken the family's broken gong and gone banging around the village, but fearing that Qin Yao's distant home hadn't heard clearly, he sent Jinbao as a backup.
Qin Yao's family was having breakfast inside the house when earlier that morning, Sister-in-law Zhou let out a piercing scream that shocked the barely awakening Qin Yao wide awake, leaving her not in a good mood but rather extremely frustrated.
Everyone in the house moved quietly, speaking softly, fearing they might invite trouble.
At the sound of voices outside the courtyard, Liu Ji quickly stood up, rushed to the door, and made a hushing gesture.
Jinbao blinked his big eyes, tilted his head looking for his Aunt San in the courtyard, and quietly asked, "Uncle San, did you upset Aunt San again?"
