At this moment, the people who were watching the commotion at the door started talking all at once, saying that Xiao Yi had given them all eight acres of land, while their own family only had two acres, and how sad they were!
Fortunately, Xie Yushu had gathered some valuable medicinal herbs, otherwise she would have starved to death.
Of course, some people say that Xie Yushu doesn't know how to manage money. She doesn't own any land, and when she finally managed to sell some, she spent it all on hiring martial arts instructors for her children. She's a spendthrift!

Old Man Xiao was a nice guy to outsiders, but when it came to trouble, he either stayed out of trouble or tried to smooth things over. When he heard Xiao Zhengde say this, he just nodded obsequiously, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
