So when the people who went to the banquet last time came back and said that the director of the Revolutionary Committee was Sang Shen's brother, the neighbors in the courtyard were all skeptical.
After all, Sangshen's usual behavior was nothing like that of an official's son, which gave them the wrong impression, especially since the last time they went to the banquet, it was the older generation in the courtyard who attended.
The younger generation was left with a big question mark in their minds.
They didn't believe it until they saw Sangshen bring Sangzi back with their own eyes and heard Sangshen call Sangzi "brother".
