Scattering beans...
The neighbors were all baffled. Why would someone cry for help just because some beans were spilled?
Aunt Zhang went to the riverbank with him this morning; her house is next to Song Lao Er's.
From the moment Granny Gu and Granny Gu returned, Aunt Zhang's ears never left the courtyard wall. She heard most of their cursing and shouting, and naturally knew that Granny Gu had no intention of playing.
However, the affairs of Song Lao Er's family were not easy to manage. Everyone had doubts in their hearts because of what Song Liyun said, and no one asked any more questions.

He had been drinking all morning, and now he was staggering and reeking of alcohol.
Originally, when Song Liyun ran out of the house in the morning, Granny Gu had someone send a message to the town.
But Song Lao Er went to the tavern early, and the messengers from the village couldn't find him at all.
Having met the Xue family steward, Song Lao Er was overjoyed at the prospect of getting a large sum of money, completely unaware of the strange looks from his neighbors, and even the way they greeted him sounded eerie.
