Song Dahai didn't say anything, but the people who had been chatting with him earlier couldn't stand it anymore.
"I say, Erhai, you are brothers after all. Even though you have separated now, blood is thicker than water. Even if you don't wish for good things, you shouldn't say such despicable things."
"Hey you..." Song Erhai was furious and stepped forward to argue.
Song Sanhai quickly stopped him, saying, "Second Brother, the village chief is just ahead. Don't cause trouble."
Song Sanhai was relatively calm. Although he didn't have much of an impression of his older brother Song Dahai, he was at least clear-headed about some things.
Given the current situation in the village, the village chief values the unity of the villagers the most. Minor squabbles between women and children don't have much of an impact, but the men are the village's labor force. If they fight amongst themselves, it will cause big problems.

As Song Ning watched the people coming down the mountain one after another, he started boiling water to cook noodles.
When Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai return, it will be time for dinner.
Everyone was exhausted after a busy day, so Song Ning didn't mention yesterday's events. After dinner, Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan went back to their rooms to sleep.
As night deepened, everyone went to bed early, and Nanshan Village gradually quieted down.
Suddenly, a sharp sound shattered the silence of the night, startling Song Ning awake. She sat up abruptly in bed and heard shouts outside.
Liu Yuelan pushed open the door and rushed in: "Er Ya, get up quickly, a thief has broken into the village!"
