"That little rascal, he makes me angry just looking at him!"
"I'm so angry, let's go to the orchard and give him a good beating."
"Slap him? You're not protecting him anymore?"
"Why should I protect him? Who told him to talk about you like that, Mother!"
Although Amo wasn't there in person, she could still imagine the scene.
Soon, Amo and the others ate something simple and then drove back to the village.
A-Kang was driving A-Chen's car, with A-Mo's father, Tang A-Yue, in the lead car.
A Rong followed behind in the car that A Mo had driven from the provincial capital.

"A song written by Ah Chen?"
"We only know that he did it, but he doesn't admit that he composed the song."
"Where is Ah Chen now?"
Mother said, "They've already gone back to Heiwu Village! There's going to be a big feast in Heiwu Village and Quedong Village tonight, but Mother doesn't know the specifics."
