The sharp voice of a woman interrupted Elder Zhang's words, and soon there were urgent footsteps outside the courtyard, followed by a knock on the door.
Elder Zhang's expression slightly changed, and he smiled bitterly as he got up to open the courtyard gate.
A middle-aged woman of about forty, with a sallow complexion and holding a bowl of thin porridge, appeared at the door. At this moment, she tilted her head and stared directly at Su Mu with unfriendly eyes, bypassing Elder Zhang.
"Aunt Zhou, I was the one who brought him..."
"Who is this kid? He has hands and feet, why can't he do something good? Don't let him deceive you."
The woman drank the remaining porridge water in one gulp, interrupted Elder Zhang while placing her hands on her hips, and then looked fiercely at Su Mu. Her sharp voice quickly attracted many neighbors from the alley to gather around.
