Of course, Rona Langdon was beyond reluctant. She wailed and screamed the entire way, but not a single person came to her aid.
Even Alden, who was usually close to her, didn't dare to risk the crowd's anger and kept silent the entire time.
Seeing this, Grandma sighed deeply. "What a disgrace to our family!"
Grandma Dixon comforted her, "Don't be too upset, my dear. It's better to drive a woman like her out sooner. It'll keep her from bringing ruin to the family!"
Grandma nodded and sighed, then said to the neighbors gathered around, "Thank you all for speaking up for what's right today."
The neighbors exchanged a few pleasantries and chimed in with words of comfort for Grandma. After she nodded her thanks, they all dispersed.
Grandma looked at the cold, quiet house and let out a long sigh. 'Is this family about to fall apart?'
