However, with what little she had at home, how could she possibly make up for the losses suffered by so many people?
Everyone was thinking, "First come, first served; grab whatever you can, and nobody listens."
Faced with these angry villagers, her eldest son's family and relatives were helpless, forced to watch as their belongings were taken away, too afraid to take any action to stop it.
"Their family used to be so well-off, with appliances being moved into their home one after another. Now, they're being taken out. What a tragedy..." a villager lamented.
“It’s all ill-gotten gains, otherwise why would everyone do this?” another villager chimed in.
"Luckily I didn't have any money, otherwise I would have regretted it too..." someone said thankfully.

Feng Ye and A-Can stayed until the event ended before reluctantly following the rest of the group away.
They knew very well that although the turmoil had temporarily subsided, the anger and discontent in the villagers' hearts would not easily dissipate.
Sure enough, a few days later, someone brought back news from the county town that Lao Liu and his son had been detained on suspicion of fraud.
This news once again caused a stir in the village.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
For Feng Ye and A Can, they were merely bystanders in this turmoil and didn't care much.
