"I'm just here to return something," said Lin Atai, picking up the red bucket and leaving.

But Qin Atai reacted quickly, throwing down what she was holding and running out to stop the people.

"You old hag, don't leave until you explain yourself!" Remembering the hair that had been pulled out last time, Qin Atai could only stop the person, not daring to lay a hand on them.

Grandma Lin put down the bucket. "Ask your granddaughter-in-law what wicked thing she did?"

"Also, our Ah Yan has never had any connection with the Wei family."

“If your Xia keeps making baseless accusations, I’ll ask the village secretary to settle this.”

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too; when the old spread rumors, the young will follow suit."

Qin Atai stared at her with eyes that seemed to be poisoned.

Some of the people who came to watch the spectacle had come with Lin A.

"Grandma Qin, your granddaughter-in-law went to the Lin family to throw manure, and now Grandma Lin is here to return two buckets to your family."

“That’s right, I can be a witness. Wei Sheng’s wife went to the Lin family’s house in broad daylight and threw excrement at them, shouting that it was your Xia who said it, saying something about Ayan…”

The man suddenly stopped and didn't continue.

Qin Atai shouted, "Li Qin, come out here and explain yourself!"

“Li Qin…”

She strained her voice at the doorway until it was hoarse, but she couldn't get anyone to come out.

Lin Atai picked up the two buckets and strode past her.

The onlookers discussed it amongst themselves and followed along.

The stench of feces in the air grew stronger and stronger.

Qin Atai's shoes were covered in stains, and she was trembling with anger, but had no way to vent her frustration.

He swore and cursed as he walked in, leaving a trail of excrement with him as he went...
